My reef sandals have finally gone to heaven. It’s been with me for 8 years.. YES! 8 years!!. It was a present given to me by my ex. I guess it s time. 8 freaking years. I love that sandal. It has served me well. Through good and bad times.
I guess nothing last forever. Heh?
I wonder what he’s been up too lately. The phrase “ let’s be friends” after the break up doesn’t apply on this one. If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.
Now I have to scout for a good pair of long lasting sandals. Which I doubt it would last me for another 8 years. We shall see…

back in malaysia
It’s been 3 days since I came back from my Indon trip. Had to rush out the report before boss leaves for Egypt.
Honestly, I didn’t really enjoy the trip and i didn't have the mood to take pictures. Probably it was a business trip and it's not a holiday. It was stressful and tiring.
We arrived at Jakarta at about 6.30pm, (Jakarta time) and it was already dark. We went out to the wrong exit and ended up with the locals. It was quite freaky, cos the people there don’t really look pleasant. Some of them approached us and keep asking.
“Mau taksi?”….
We keep on saying no…. and walked away politely. The company driver was at the terminal 1 waiting for us, where else we were at the terminal 2. We called him from the phone service booth and waited for him. We then explained to him that we couldn’t find the exit out when we got our bags and was asked to exit at the terminal 2.
The journey to the hotel took us about 1 and half hours. By the time we arrive at the hotel. It was already 8.30pm. I had a shock when we arrive at the entrance gate of the hotel. Security people were there to check the car, around the car and underneath the car. Metal detector placed at the main entrance to check the bags and us. Yes.. I’ve read their website.. but experiencing it first hand was another thing.
When we check in, I asked the hotel staffs where is the nearest place that we can go and get local food. Guess what he said?
“Nearest and safest…. Place… hmmm…”
WTF!!?? SAFEST!?
He totally freaked me out!, with that word that he had just said.
We ended up going to the hotel café to grab a drink since my dear colleague didn’t want to eat anything. By the time we’re done it was already 10.00pm. Head back up to the hotel room, relax and tried to enjoy the room by my self.
The next day, I woke up by 5.45am. Rush up to get ready and grabbed some breakfast before the driver came to pick us up at 6.30am. Thank god it was already bright, if it were still dark I would have been in my sleepy mood. Arrived at the Indonesian office at 7.15am. Meeting… meeting… meeting…. Then head to the suppliers, by the time we were done with the suppliers, my legs were killing me…. The sun has set and it was time for dinner.
The driver was kind enough to bring us to the local mall. On the way there, my colleague couldn’t take the journey and he puked! Hahahah…. I guess the traffic and the jam plus the way the driver drives made him felf pukey (if there’s such word). After some Soto Ayam, I thought we could go back to the hotel and rest but I was wrong…… My colleague wanted to buy so souvenirs back to his family. Argghh… my feet was already killing me …. And you want to walk evern more!!??
How can I say no to him… Tried to walk, at the end… I told him that I’ll wait for him at the entrance where I can find a place to sit and rest.
I shouldn’t have worn the heels. And it was baby heels!! I guess I’m not a heel-walking GAL. My boss specifically told me that I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans and sneakers.
“Only proper office attire.” He said.
The next morning, I drag my self up after sleeping for 5 hours. My feet were still aching from the day before. I was so tempted to wear my comfortable sneakers out but was afraid that the bosses in Indonesia side would complain about our attire to my boss back home. So fine…. Heels again.
Double made sure that I’ve packed every thing, from yesterday night and checked out. Arrive at the office at 8.00am, slightly later then the day before. Meeting… meeting… meeting again.
Then head to another supplier before lunch. Manage to change to my comfortable sneakers. Kekeke…. Lunch was great compared to the day before where we have canteen food which I could barely sallow. Then it was time to do market research.
As usual, I planned to check in 2 hours before the flight. I was so looking forward to shop around the duty free area. Due to the traffic at Jakarta, we only manage to check in an hour before the flight. What a bummer! By the time we touch down at Malaysia, it was 9.30pm (Malaysian time).
My body was aching and calling for help. I was all tired and can’t wait to get back home to rest.
This trip is stressful, because of the jam, the people and the weather. Over all, it was a paid trip and it was a priceless experience. Muahahhaha…..

photography
I’ve decided to take up photography seriously. Which means that I have to invest on a good DSLR.
Have just receive the issues of Digital Photography from Megalunatic (photomalaysia.com) and I can’t seem to put it down. Browsing throu it makes me wanna go out and get myself a DSLR, set up my own little studio and start shooting. Photography equipments are not cheap…. Geeshh….
And there’s so much to learn…. Got to start saving now… At the main time I guess I have to live with my PowerShot A95.
RM100 down and RM5600 to go…. WOooo Hhhoooo….

my first trip
Finally got a chance to go on a business trip. A trip that is paid by the company.... No worries on accomodation...food.... or transportation.... Woo hoo….
Not that I’m complaining about the place that I’m about to adjourn in a weeks time.
But my first business trip to overseas, is to some INDUSTRIAL area at Jakarta Timur. I thought I would be stuck at the industrial area for nights. Lucky me, they have put us at the center of Jakarta. I think.
An hour or so from the PuloGadung.
But the ‘advices’ that I’ve been getting has not been very appealing..
“ Don’t go out at night alone.”
“ Don’t walk around alone. ”
“ Don’t do this…..”
“ Don’t do that….. “
Fine.. I thought to my self. Just stay close to my coll. Checked out the place that we were going to stay and this is what I found this on the hotel site…
-- Every precaution to safeguard our guests’ safety has been taken in conjunction with advice from leading security consultants.
Concrete barriers have been strategically placed on the driveway to slow vehicles and guests pass through a further security check and metal detector before entering the lobby. Lobby windows have been equipped with protective film.
Perimeter security, car park, employee and goods entrances are all monitored 24 hours and CCTV covers 32 points throughout the hote—
WHAT THE…!??
Is it that bad there ??…… Now I’m freaked out….

decisions
I’m a very fickle and indecisive person. I can’t decide on my own and when I do… I have doubts on my decision. As I get older, it tends to get more difficult. And I tend to stay in the moment where I can just ignore my thoughts and feeling and hope that it will just disappear. But reality does come back and decisions have to be made. I’ll either be an impulsive decision maker or I’ll just let it sits there and hope that it will fly away… far far away.

crazy weekend
The weekend was a blast. Liz came up from Singapore. Suppose to go clubbing on Friday night but instead we hanged out at the hotel room and drank. We were acting crazy as if we had loads of liquor. And the thing is, we only had a glass of Malibu. When she’s around, everyone will laugh their heads out, weather they like it or not.
Saturday was another fulfilled day, thou I did regret cutting my hair.
Told Liz about Shawn’s style the day before and the girls decide to go to Peek A Boo to try out Shawn. As usual, he’s appointment is always full so we decide to go straight and check out weather he would be able to slot Liz in. Went to the shop at Taman Tun, and was disappointed to know that Shawn was in The Curve! Where we came from!!,,,, Bloody hell!!.....
“Since when he’s there?” I asked.
“Only until end of this month.”.. the girl said.
Ish Ish… that is what u get when u don’t call first.
So we decide to go treading first in Bangsar. Had Lunch then head back to the Curve.
“Shawn is fully booked. You mind trying someone else?”.. the girl behind the counter asked.
Since Liz was fine trying out someone else … JT just wanted to trim her hair…
Fine… trying to be adventures… I said okay without knowing who the hair stylist is going to be.
It’s been a while since I’ve let anyone touch my hair. Ever since I’ve tried out Shawn years back. I like his style and I trust him. Trust is very important when it comes to hair. They have to know what they are doing. How to improvise the hairstyle, to the look of the person.
The out come of my hair was not what I’ve expected!. It reminded me when my hair was growing from my dare daring shaving experience years back. Arrgghh...
Later in the night we head up to Friendster for dinner and shooting. Bastard was totally wasted at Pang’s bachelor night. Took a few pics while he was puking. Yuckss!! I can’t believe that I manage to snap it…. It totally gross me out when his ‘tap’ started pouring.
Liz did some crazy things to him when he was dropped dead. If only I can share the video clips…. LOL…
We left both of them in the hotel room and only God knows what happened after that!
We head down to Johor the next afternoon to shoot the bride’s side. Took and day trip cos there’s nothing much to do down there. Reach home at 4.30am. I’m getting sick of Johor and the journey there. Gosh, and I need to head down there in 2 weeks time again. HELP…….

with or without?
How do you tell if a person is prepared to become some ones wife or daughter in law?
I was told that you should imagine yourself living without that other person rather than being able to live with that person if you think that he/she is the one. I’m confuse…

nightmare
Had a wonderful dinner with Mich yesterday night. Had dinner at Chilli's. Wanted to spend dear cousin of my, but freaking Diners card wasn’t accepted.
Got a call from them few weeks back.
“We realize that you have not been using your card for the pass 2 year. Is there any problem with the card?”
“Oh. No problem at all. Just didn’t need to use “ I replied.
“I see. Do you know that by using Diners you get loads of discounts in restaurants and on other stuffs as well. Plus, when you use your card to pump petrol you can accumulate points as well. Where else, other cards you can’t do that… “(Chilli's not included.. I guess.. )
“Ah .. I see… Really?”
“Yes… yes… I’ll send you some brochure and pamphlets… “
I didn’t want to use the Diners b’cos it’s a charge card. And why did I apply for it in the first place? Just call me dumb. I didn’t know that it was a charge card. On top of that, it was free.
After using it for a few months, after I got the card. I got freaked out. The interest that they charge. Woo hoo… amazing…
And why did I start using it again…? That’s b’cos I’m trying to just use one card where I’ll be force to pay every month. The thing with credit cards is that you just tend to pay the min. amount and you tell yourself you’ll pay the full amount the next month. And on top of that, you’re still be using the card in between. Just IMAGINE using that principal for 4 different credit cards… woo hoo….. It just keeps on increasing and increasing..
Sigh…
That’s what happening to me right now. So I’m trying to clear off every cent that I owe and just use the Diners where I’ll be force to pay every cent that I’ve used and for “emergency’ case. kekekeke....
So back to the paying for dinner, I had to apologize that I didn't have enuf cash to spend her dinner. Pai seh…. So she paid the balance which was almost half of it… I know.. it’s sad.. Pai seh…. Pai seh…
But I promised the next round, I would bring enuf cash and spend her dinner…
I had one of the most scariest nightmare last night. To me that is!.
I dreamed that my IBook caught fire!!!
MY IBOOK!!.. Tiny smoke came out from the keyboard… then I saw little sparks, I panic and I tried to blow off the sparks .. IT BECAME worst!.. Next thing I knew the whole thing was on fire… the IBook was melting right in my face and my tears started rolling down from my eyes.. Yes!! I’m freaking emotional when it comes to my IBOOK!...
My Baby….
Next thing I knew, I woke up because of the banging and frying from my back door neighbor.
I checked my Ibook in front of me and it was save and sound… took a glance at the time… 6.30am!!
Damn I’ve only sleep for the past 3 hours only… okay.. back to sleep…
Thank god it’s just a dream….

PayPal
Decide to buy some stuff from EBay… Well, actually my intention was to sell what my mom has painted. My mom started painting folk art recently. Will post some pictures soon… She managed to sell a couple of her works. I though of trying out ebay to see it she can make more money out of that rather then what she is doing rite now.
Anyways, registering to Ebay, lead me to PayPal.
As you can see, my latest insertion click on button on my right bottom page…
PayPal Donate. Will to except any amount of donation in order to upgrade my Flickr Account to Flickr Pro.
Yes.. I know it’s pathetic, but if you don’t try, you won’t know. Rite?
That’s one of my phrases in life.
Unfortunately, I can’t circulate this blog around ppl I know as I intend to keep this blog to myself and people that I don’t know. That would give me less restriction to talk about more stuffs….
So here you go….

Raw Fish
Last Sat’s yoga class was a killer. I can still feel the pain on my back thigh now. The mussels are aching like ****… Anyways, to make up for the ‘heavy’ yoga session, we went to a Japanese buffet for dinner last Sat.
My first ever Japanese buffet. Had the most sashimi in my entire lifetime. Now I’m starting to freak myself up with the recent mails that I’ve receive about worms growing in the head of a Japanese man … Due to excess sashimi intake. Yes ! I like to freak myself up with all these stuffs. The buffet is pretty much worth the money. RM 44.90. Not much variety thou… but if you like fresh sashimi, tuna, butterfish, oyster… you might find that it will satisfy you.
Not to mention, the usual sushi and tempura. Yum yum..
Didn’t take any food pics.. but as usual… people pics…more on flickr.....

1%
Was doing my usual blog reading when I stumble across this.
Dang! I’ve only conquered 1 % of the whole entire world. Yes! The tiny red dots that you can hardly see.
This is sad. Very SAD. VERY VERY SAD….

health
I so want to buy a the Canon EOS 20D now…
If only someone would sponsor me some cash. Or by winning the lottery and that’s if I go out and buy one.
LOL… only in my dreams.
Okay, I’ve enrolled myself at True Fitness in Taipan, around my area. Having regrets now. Have to pay another commitment now, but it’s for the best. Health wise.
Been longing to join back the gym for a while now. Since it’s on the way home, all the facilities are provided… so why not.
Swimming once a week isn’t doing much for my health. Gotta boost up my immune system… sick of getting sick…
Yoga, hard core work out. Here I come!!
Oh.. I’ve been told by my coll, that I hardly smile to the cleaning lady.
What the ….. !!?? I smile!! I wish her every morning… and every time I see her around… well, sometimes…. But I smile!!
I’m a friendly person and I smile when I walk around the office, smile my way to the pantry….. even to the loo ….. I SMILE!...
*BIG SMILE* Well, you can’t please everyone…. Can you?
Can anyone out there borrow me a Canon EOS 20D to play around till I get one on my own??...

mind-boggling
The past week has been extremely mind-boggling. Due to some problems that was going on with “ someone” and on top of that things were about to change from now onwards to that “ someone”.
KY and I went for a short holiday 2 weeks ago. A day after we came back, we found out that one of our friend’s parents who went to China for holiday had met an accident. Apparently, they were on their way down from one of the hills and the bus break wasn’t working.
His mother didn’t make it. While his dad was in a very critical condition. His left shoulder blade and ribs were broken, his back spine was injured while his right leg was punctured from the bamboo sticks.
Thank god, they manage to bring him back on a private jet. As what I’ve heard, he might not make it if he were to be treated there. There’s a huge/mind-bogling story behind it, but I shall keep it to my dear old self.
On top of that, things in the office were not going to smoothly. Every job was urgent, looking at the bright side, I’ll be getting extra cash this month, thanks to the overtime. Kekeke.
To add it on to my little excitement for the week, the small little ants were back. I hardly eat in the room. Was trying to find where did the ants come from and at the end I decided to do the whole spring-cleaning thingy in the room. I thought that I finally got rid of the pests and would have wonderful beauty sleep during the weekends.
No….. they came back! I’ve cleaned up everything!!.. the sides, the corners, everywhere!!!... And they came back…!...
Been observing the little pests, and I realize that they were coming from outside through the windows in my room. ARGHH…… I shall hunt down the little pests headquarters’, spray and pour down tons of ants’ killer power….
Die you little pests!.... DIE!!!....

reality
It’s amazing how sensitive some people can be. How do you please everyone at the same time? Please tell me!?
Back to reflecting what I want to do with my life. Had a conversation with JT yesterday night. She has proposed something to me that was hard to refuse. A chance to travel and venture to the land unknown out of Malaysia. Yes, traveling back and forth, working on A&P stuffs. How can I refuse that? There’s one problem thou, sometimes people then to have to much faith in my capabilities. And I’m afraid that I might just … disappoint them.
I guess I have yet to instill the confidences in me, in the things that I do. Sometimes I wonder what do they see in me that I can’t see in my self.
One question that she did ask me. And I guess reality hasn’t hit me yet. Or has it!???..... hhmm….
“Do you think you can propone your wedding plans? Till you’re 30?”
“hmm… why can’t I get married and do what you’re proposing.?? …” I answered.
“it’s difficult to have long distance relationship…. I don’t believe in long distances relantionships and the traveling that you’ll be doing … and blah blah blah…..”
Hhmmm… I do agree that it’s quite difficult for a married couple to have a long distance relationship… but if it’s meant to be.. then its meant to be…
Don’t you think so?..
Being in a relationship and being married is a totally different story. Marriage is commitment, respect, responsibilities and…… a lot more of those stuffs… kekekeke…
Every action has its consequence…. I do believe that the marriage would work out…
And it’s not like I’ll be doing this forever…. I’ll do it till I’m 30.
Hmm…. That would leave me about 3 more years….

surfing bug
My surfing bug has hit me again. Yes, tried it and love it. Tried it during collage time with an ex. Stopped it after breaking up with him… hahaha..
Was not really good at it anyway. But I like the rush and excitement when you’re on the board. Everything seems possible at that time.
It hit me again, when I met up with an old friend recently and every time we meet up, he would tell me where he’s gone surfing and his trips. Every time that happens, I would enviously listen to his stories and deep down inside I wish I could have his passion for surfing to travel around Malaysia to go surfing every weekend.
I love traveling … and I love surfing. But I can’t afford to do that every other week due to financial situation. You know what I mean? I live in a city, and traveling to the nearest surf able beach here takes about 3-4 hours drive. I know it’s just an excuse! I could always follow dear ‘ hard core surfer dude’ every week… I guess what I’m afraid is that when I do take it up, I’ll be hook to it again. That would be hell of a one sport to give up.
And on top of that I want some girlfriends to do this with me… !!!
For now I guess I just have to day dream about it…..

I could always follow dear ‘ hard core surfer dude’ every week… I guess what I’m afraid is that when I do take it up, I’ll be hook to it again. That would be hell of a one sport to give up.
And on top of that I want some girlfriends to do this with me… !!!
For now I guess I just have to day dream about it…..

wedding assignment
Recently I did my first assignment as the photographer for a friend’s brother’s wedding luncheon. They knew that I was interested in taking pictures. So there’s you go, she said. Here is your opportunity to snap all the way. I could feel the pressure was on me.
"I don’t want to mess up your brothers wedding picture! No no no…"
“Don’t worry, they would be doing their professional ‘studio’ wedding pictures.” she said. The wedding luncheon thing is just for you to snap snap snap… HA HA…
“Okay…” Still feeling a little bit uncomfortable. But still….
I don’t mind snapping pictures on the day it self. But being the ONE and only photographer there would be a real pressured for me.
I want to take pictures that were different from the others. You get what I mean? Being the one and only person who is taking pictures would mean that I would have to take the standard pictures like everyone else’s wedding luncheon/ceremony picture and not having enough time to snap it differently. I’m still learning to take shoot correctly and knowing myself I would be all stress out trying to take a perfect picture.
Looking back at the pictures that I’ve taken, I could have done a better job if I could have calm myself down and made sure the aperture and shutter were rite and to direct the couple to pose differently.
Half of the shots were a disappointment to me.
Good pose but bad lighting,
Good lighting but it turned out blurred. ArGh …
Mostly the fast moving ones…
Going to the Brides house then the Chinese tea ceremony, then back to the Grooms place to have the grooms’ side of the tea ceremony. Then the families shoot. Then going around the house to find subjects that were different and things that the couple would enjoy looking back in a few years to come.
I realize that the pictures that look decent enough for the eye of a photographer were the pictures that I had time to select and adjust the rite aperture and shutter speed ….
Making sure that shoot look good.
I did enjoy the whole scene thou. If only there was a pro-photographer to learn from during the wedding luncheon. Kekeke…
It was a great experience. I can’t wait to go to another wedding to snap snap snap…. For the time being I would have to keep on practicing my snapping round the house.

blogging
Lately, there’s either news about a blog, or a blogger or about blogging in the newspaper. What is it about blogs,bloggers and blogging. Blogging is a freedom of speech, an online journal and yet it’s a self marketing tool.
Some blogger got fired after blogging about his company recently. Apparently, stated in the newspaper, blogging about activities in the company or about your boss can really get you in trouble. This is because some companies have their own secret hidden ‘master plan’ to conquer the world. Kekeke… you know what I mean…. So just be very careful what you write/blog on YOUR online journal/freedom of speech/self marketing site.
Or just use the old fashion way..… the little book called the ‘diary’. I miss the little book. If only they have the undo, cut, paste and redo button on it… I’ll be the first customer…
Online journal, freedom of speech or self marketing.
It depends on how you look at it. I my self is not a true blogger. I don’t ‘blog’ everyday. I’m more to a ‘blog reader’. I setup a blog just to put my frustration and thoughts down so that I can look back in time to see how I go thou ‘this life’ , hopefully with a smile on my face.
To other bloggers, it’s more like an self advertising to them. I’m cool with that idea. Marketing yourself is part of life. Weather you believe it or not., you need to market youself.
But having ‘banners’ with your pic on it in every single degree of the site is way to much for me. I do give credit to bloggers who goes all the way out to advertise them self on the net.
I just came across one blog an hour ago. I just can’t get the blog out of my head. I really have to give credit to the “blogger”. How do I describe the look and feel of the blog…? Hmm….
It really looks like … (how do I put it) a company/business portal website….? Where you get a lot of banners, icons to promote it’s company /business. You get what I mean?
Hhmm…. Arrgghhh…
Okay.. more directly, not like anyone is reading this blog… hm…(I’m like really writing a little online diary here… cool… ) okay.. back to the subject…
It looks LIKE A PORN SITE!
There… I’ve said it…. I’ve been staring at the ceiling like a freaking idiot trying to figure out what was wrong with the site… and yet I’m totally okay with the self-marketing/advertising self thingy. Yes, it looks more like a porn site.
A salute to the blogger that cannot be named. Woo hoo…

stress out
I’ve been having all this shity feeling for the pass few weeks.
Due to work I suppose. Or it’s the end of the year thingy.
I do realize that every end of the year I’m either all hyper up or feeling really shity.
This year is a shity year I suppose.
Have you ever feel that some times you do things for the sake of obligation? You never agreed to do it in the first place but they always assume that you’re the one who will be doing it. Why so? Just because they want you to do it, Or probably I should have just voice out. I have no interest in doing it so leave me alone! I want to enjoy the last few weeks of the year! I wanna feel shity, drink loads of liquor and reflect back what I’ve achieve for the past year like every other year! I don’t want to be all stress out on these works…. Sigh.. If only… I need a good massage by end of this year. Do or die thing!

memories
Currently listening to The Cardigans on my discman. The office is freaking quite. Everyone seems to be so stress out. I need MUSIC!
The Cardigans brings back old memories every time when I listen to them. Ah… The first guy that I really like. For who he is and who he’s not. I wonder what has he been up too for the past few years. Never really gotten a chance to meet him after graduation. Or I’m just plain lazy to call him. Kekeke… I wonder has his number been changed??
Silly things that you do when you’re young, innocent and when you think that you’re in love. Well, I always believe everything is an experience! Regardless it’s good or bad. Hey! This is what you call live life the fullest!
That brings me to next subject. Why can’t I have an ‘ex’ who can still friends with me. Talk to me, chat, update each other on what’s happening in out lives even thou we’re still not together anymore. I wonder. It’s weird to hear stuffs from other people, on the happening of an ‘ex’. Don’t get me wrong, not that I still have feelings nor I’m jealous. I just find it peculiar and it’s sad that it has to be this way. Well, at least I still have updates about him or vise versa throu a middle person. LOL

things to do
Next would be full non working day for me.. woo hoo….. so many days yet so little time.
List of things to do:
1. go see Doctor Chu
2. get my teeth clean
3. get my passport renew
4. get my hair cut
Monday and Wednesday is a working day. The rest of the weekday is a public holiday… which means most of the clinic, dentist and the government sector is close. Getting my passport renew would take me half a day. Then off to see Doc Chu. By the time I’m done with doc chu, the dentist would be closed. Not to mention that I’m lacking of cash. Kekeke… getting my hair cut done would take me half day. Getting an appointment with shawn is not easy. Trust me! It’s always fully book. The availability would be weeks ahead. And not forgetting that I’m running of cash. What to do first!?? With the limited of cash in my hands.
Dentist?? Or my hair!?? Hhmm…..
I haven’t had my hair done since…. Hmmm…. Since early of this year. It’s getting longer and it’s irritating me … and I’m bored with this long hair of mind. Need my short hair back!!
Come to think of it… I haven’t clean my teeth since last year.. ewwww…..
Decisions?? Decisions…??
