Anticipating the Langkawi Trip

It's now 3.41 am. I can't sleep yet. Not that I am not sleepy, but I am just excited and I have too many things to bring to Langkawi and I seriously do not know how to pack my stuffs. All my friends know that I am a really bad packer because I always try to bring too many stuffs - stuffs that I may or may not need.

I feel that I need to bring those because there will be times like - "Oh why didn't I bring it? I wanna use/wear it!" or "MinMin, do you have this/that? No, I was supposed to bring it but I decided not to. Speaking of which, I feel like using/wearing it too!!" There are so many stuffs to bring - skin cares, masks, body lotion, sunblock, shampoo, conditioner, facial foam, clothes, hair dryer, etc etc... and the list goes on!

God I am taking so long to pack and I seriously need some sleep now... I think I will continue tomorrow... more updates with my trip to Langkawi soon~~

People in my country

Things written here are entirely personal opinion and observation, alright?

I find that Malaysians are not helpful and not friendly at all on a general scale (Of course, like everything, exceptions do exist)

I'll give you two scenarios, both involving directions, which partly describe what I am trying to say here.

Scenario 1:
My little brother and his girlfriend got lost in some rural area in Subang. I think it's called Kampung Melayu Subang, if I am not mistaken. Both of them didn't know how to get the hell out of there as there was no road sign at all. Ohya, they were trying to go to SS15, by the way. So they finally saw someone by the roadside. My brother wind down the window and asked,

Fai: Abang, mana Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Subang!
Fai: Oh, mana Bandar Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Bandar Subang!
Fai: SS15?
Stranger: Apa?
Fai: Tu, yang ada Inti College, Taylor's College, area tu. (through gritted teeth)
Stranger: Eh...itu bukan Subang!
Fai: Ya ke... tak apa la. Thanks for your help. (sarcastically)

When I was told about this, I was practically falling off my chair because I was laughing so hard. How can anyone be so stupid? From what my brother said, the stranger clearly is one of the residents in the rural area! He's either too dumb, or he's being unhelpful. In the end, my brother found his way out. (Took him almost an hour)

Scenario 2:
I was accompanying my sister to Mutiara Damansara to meet her customer. She didn't know the exact location of his company, and I... Well, safe to say that I am completely hopeless in directions. So, we were looking for that miserable company in Sunway Technology Park under the hot sun and we were running out of petrol soon. Imagine our situation. So, we decided to stop by the shops and ask for directions. All we got was..."I don't know"! Wait! I am not quite finished yet. He got this I-can't-be-bothered look on his face, which made my blood boil. (I am good at reading facial expression, ok? So I think I got this right) We even tried the security guards, but they gave us the wrong direction. *&^%$%^&!!!
Dammit! But we managed to find that company at last, thank god.

See what I am trying to say here? What is wrong with the people here? Sometimes when you smile at people, they just glare at you. When you are wearing something revealing, they either gape at you or stare at you disdainfully. When you fall down, they laugh and jeer. When they see someone got beaten up, robbed, etc, they watch instead of helping. Oh my god... what is going on here? Friends and readers: No offense ya. Like I mentioned earlier, there is always exception. If you are not one of those people, good for you. If you are, then... you know.

I really hope that these people would try to put themselves into other people's shoes and imagine what would they do if they get such treatments. Please, be more considerate. Have you ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed? I bet you have. So, just bear in mind that everyone has his/her bad day. So I think they could use a little sympathy, patience and consideration. Don't be so selfish!

Hi Again

I know... I deserve to be smacked. How long has it been since I deserted my blog ya...? Around 2 months, I guess. I thought of updating about the events of my life after my new year celebration...Heck, I didn't even blog about the celebration... It's just that I never got around to do it and I was lazy as well as unmotivated. Anyway, you didn't miss out much, that I can assure you. (For those who want to know about my new year celebration, you can always visit my facebook...pictures are all there)

So, what have I been doing all these while? Hmm, let me think... well, nothing much, I guess. I am just carrying on with my mundane lifestyle, like usual. There is nothing much to say about CNY celebration too, as it was nothing special. I just celebrated it like any other person, eating, drinking, watching telly and gambling with my family. I am not saying that it wasn't happy, in fact, I really did enjoy myself, spending quality time with my family. Well, that pretty much sums up my CNY - boring, isn't it?

Well, I am back to blogging state again. (I will only update this blog if there are events or thoughts worth writing about, ok?)

There is something on my mind now, actually. I always wonder, why is it so hard to keep your promises, or to tell the truth?

Is lying the best way to handle things? I really do not understand why some people just love to lie, even about small things. And if you wanna lie, make it a good one, alright? What's the point in lying to me, knowing that I would eventually find out the truth? If you wanna lie, please, do it wisely. Don't ever let me know or suspect anything, ok?

And about promises... I always believe that if you make your promise, fulfil it, unless there are reasons to explain why you can't. (Bear in mind, reasons and excuses are different)

Oh... this post is going nowhere. I just sound like an angry, whiny bitch. I am not trying to say anything... Perhaps being too free is the reason why these thoughts sprang to my mind.

I am gonna start my final semester next week! I'll try to enjoy it as much as I can...because after this semester, I am DONE with my degree! Yay!! Sorry, I should say, after this semester AND industrial internship.

I seriously hope that something, even small little things, would come along and bring changes and excitement into my life. Please...please...please...I am begging...

2008 - A Reflection

I know this sounds boring, but I can't resist saying it. "Time flies..." and it really does.

The memories of me entering secondary school, moving from one district (Kuantan) to another (Kuala Lipis) in 2001, entering a different school in Form 6, falling in and out of love, getting drunk and going nuts... the list goes on. The paths taken, the journey undergone as well as the experiences are still vivid in my mind. I daresay that I remember every single detail... ^_^

In my 22 years of living on this planet called Earth, my life has always been quite dramatic. Perhaps I shouldn't blame this on my various encounters... I should blame myself for being a drama queen. LOL.

So, what happened in 2008? Well, the first few months of the year was quite difficult for me, as I was recovering from a really bad break up and was stalked by the ex...

I became more dilligent and hardworking as a student during my fourth semester...but became lazy again during the fifth semester! Hahahahahahahaha!!

Went to Hatyai with Renee and her friends. Had a lot of fun shopping and seeing new things. Had a foot massage as well as full body massage for the first time ever. I almost fell off the chair during the foot massage because I could not stand the ticklish sensation. It was hilarious!!!

Been out a lot with my friends...for a change~

Went clubbing at new clubs!

I chose to work as a sales, and since my car was crashed earlier, I relied on public transportation, my sister and my sales team leader to get to work. Thanks to them!! Muakz. The point here is, I took public transport. A big improvement. LOL

Learned the hard way not to be so trusting and realised the need to increase self-protection.

Lost weight and gained weight on and off. So... I don't give a shit anymore. Call me a fat bitch if you want, see if I care. :)

EQ definitely has been improved, especially since I started working, about a month ago. This is a big step for me... because I have difficulties in holding my temper. But I did it and I hoped to maintain this. I don't wanna be the impulsive one anymore. I am going for cool, calm and collected. :)

Got to realize that I have to learn how to be more responsible, consistent, persevere and committed. Funny isn't it? Human beings should possess all these things in order to succeed but I am not born with them. lol. Well, I guess I am, but they are hidden somewhere and I have to dig it out and let it stay on the surface.

Many things have happened... If I were to write them out, you would get bored reading it.

So, all in all, it has been a normal year. Good and bad things have happened, that's just life, right? All I can say is, I am glad being alive and still kicking. I feel lucky to have my beloved family and friends around and everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, when bad things happened, you will realize some hidden things. Example, can't think of it now but all I can say is... blessings in disguise do exist. :)

Thank you to everyone who has been a part in my life. I appreaciate all of you. Mwah!!

Goodbye 2008 and welcome, 2009!

Random Thoughts

I am officially getting tired of apologising for the lack of updates. So for a difference, I will not be apologising this time. lol

I know, I am on holidays but I'm working now. Sales advisor for Proton. Since I am new, I do not have much time for myself lately. Even when I do, all I wish to do is to stay home, rest and sleep and watch telly or dvds. Gosh, sounds like I am getting old. Seriously, I am pretty worn out everyday when I finally get off work, even when I did nothing much during my working hours. I think the stress is getting to me. I start to feel like a loser again. But I have yet to give up... I will continue fighting.

My social life is like... dead. I don't get to spend much time with my friends anymore... sigh. Romance? DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Alright, I'll say this, loud and clear - I've been fantasizing that I could actually develop a relationship with someone and again, I'm disappointed. Not much to my surprise, tho'. I am used to it. I think I should really give myself one tight slap - "wake up, idiot!"

Nothing is going smooth at the moment... why can't my life be smooth-sailing? My fragile heart has been crushed again and again. I almost feel that I could hear my heart breaking. Please don't get me wrong. I am not talking about my romance (although I admit, it did upset me a little). I am talking about something else... something P & C.

I have to go to bed now, or else I will be a walking corpse tomorrow at work. Folks, I am so sorry for missing out the outings... I will try my best to make it up once I get my car back. Love~

P/S: Cristabel is breaking down. Purely an emotional wreck now.
