Finally MY and I went to celebrate our belated birthday together at Miyako Japanese Restaurant, Sheraton Subang Hotel. Luckily i managed to borrow the Starwood priviledge card to enjoy 50% discount for the food that we ordered. The food was good and we tried our very best to finish up but still have some leftovers. Nevertheless, we both were happy to enjoy the food as well as had a good chat. Whenever we meet, we can just talk and talk non stop. That's why we are buddies. I just want to enjoy the time i have with MY. She is such a great friend to me and not sure where we will be heading to after this. Since we are fated to be friends, i treasure this friendship very much and will try to catch up with each other as much as possible.
Time flies...weekend is coming and I'm excited about it as don't need to work but can loiter around. I always wanted to go out but each time also will face the difficulties to organize and plan things. Sigh....everyone will end up asking each other, what you want to do ? Why life just get so mundance ? I'm kinda sick of it....each day also has to think what to eat, what to do and sometimes i feel life is so miserable and meaningless as though i don't have anything to look up to and keep my life going. I'm just 26 but has already started to find life is meaningless. Sigh....sigh...sigh....Life sucks ! = (

Refreshing News
Oh yes, MY came back from Australia (her surprise trip by her bf) last Tue. I have not met up with her yet but we have been emailing each other and talking on the phone. Well, TAC proposed to her when they were in Aust. It was truly romantic. From Limo to helicopter ride and candle light dinner with Diamond ring (Hearts on Fire). I can imagine her overwhelmed feelings that time and truly unforgettable. Congratulations to MY and TAC !! You both will definitely have my blessings.
Yesterday, CY also confessed to me and BC that she was offered to do her MBA in UK in Sept. It's another refreshing news especially from one of close buddies. CY had tried to apply for her MBA course sometime last year and finally she got the offer. BC and I were happy for her. We will miss her as she will be away to UK for a year. It will be a goal for me to visit her by next year when she is there...hopefully ! Looks like being 26th is so called our prime age....everyone who is about my age seem to have made some important decisions and plans...either marriage or career development. When will be my turn ? I hope I can announce some refreshing news soon...i seriously need a change in my current life as it's getting mundance and can be quite depressing if i put it in a negative perspective.

Dream Big
When I was a little boy.
I swore that I would change the world when I grew up.
Nothing else would be enough.
I see it everyday.
We settled for safe.
And lose ourselves along the way.
But if you don't dream big,
What's the use of dreaming?
If you don't have faith,
There's nothing worth believing.
It takes one look
To make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out for something more.
It took a well perfected plan
For me to finally understand
That it's not me.
Faith is something you can't see.
I wiped my tears away.
Now its time for a change.
No I can't waste another day.
'Cause if you don't dream big,
What's the use of dreaming?
If you don't have faith
There's nothing worth believing.
It takes one look
To make the stars worth reaching for.
'Cause if you don't have faith,
What's the use of dreaming?
If you don't have faith
There's nothing worth believing.
It takes one look.
To make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out for something more.

My Love Will Get You Home
Slept at 8am this morning as I insisted to finish up the tvb drama series, hearts of greed. It took me like a month to finish up the whole series. So last night I watched 15 episodes one shot. no doubt it was tiring but i'm happy that it is finally over. It was indeed very dramatic and i have cried so many times in few scenes which were incredible touching. Sigh....usually i don't cry over drama series like that. It reminded me so many things especially my past relationship. The last time i ever cried for series like this was the korean drama called, Autumn in my heart during uni days.
Love is blind and love is unconditional......love indeed makes someone suffers if it's not carefully controlled and handled. When you love someone, you will do everything just to make someone happy. Some may think that it doesn't worth doing anything for someone who doesn't love you as much as you love him/her. But i truly believe that feeling is sincere and it comes naturally from the bottom of your heart to do anything to make the one you love happy. Even that person doesn't love you anymore, the memories that you both had will stay on forever and you wish the very best for him/her and may he/she finds the happiness in life. One thing for sure, my love for HIM will never be less as it has been buried deep down inside my heart to keep the special place for him.
My Love Will Get You Home
If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If you ever feel ashame, my love will get you home.
If its only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

Image is Power
It took leave on Tuesday (20 May) and it was totally unproductive as i didn't do anything at all except sitting in front of pc whole day long chatting with friends and facebooking. I did something a little bit productive was updating my resume online. Since I have started work about 4 years back, I have not been updating my resume. While updating, i also browsed through jobstreet to see what are the current job offers. Nothing better to do, i actually submitted my resume to a few companies to try out my luck if there will be any calls to attend any interviews. Truthfully, I have started to explore to see where do i actually stand with about 4 years work experience.
I went back to work on Wed (21 May). I wasn't very motivated to work but just have to clear up my work which I need to. Speaking about that, i have quite a lot of outstanding tasks that I have not done and the deadline is end of this month....sigh....nevertheless, i just have to dread myself to get things started before my boss nags at me...well she has not nagged at me so far as I have been able to deliver my work before the deadline. :p
The American Idol (Season 7) ended on Thursday and yes, my favourite idol, David Cook was crowned as Season 7 American Idol. I admire his talent and he does have the charisma of being a singer. To add on...he is cute too ! This year AI was awesome...lots of nice songs =). Can't wait for the next season which is one year from now.
Yesterday, my company Sports Club organized a movie day for us at Cineleisure. We managed to register ourselves early to get good seats for Indiana Jones. Since some of my colleagues can't make it, I offered the extra tickets to Bee and Jen Ping. Since Bee forgot to bring her hp and was caught in a meeting last minute. She and Jen Ping came late as they also can't find each other at the Kelana Jaya LRT station. They came in 1 hour late for the movie and managed to watch the second half. Sometimes when you never expect this kind of drama to happen, it is bound to happen ! sigh...Overall, the movie is good ! harrison ford was still so cool though he isn't young anymore.
After the movie, Michelle and I headed to The Social, Bangsar to join June and my biggest client for drinks. My client and June were there earlier with other friends for dinner. I ordered a glass of beer (Heinekein) and Michelle ordered her forever favourite, Stout and she wanted in warm instead. The songs played last night was crappy. I didn't like it at all plus need to entertain my client who can quite irritating. Nevertheless, we just have to suck it all up since it is our million dollars account. My client got very happy last night and bought me and Michelle another round of beer and stout. The waiter gave me a bigger glass this time. We were all chatting and my client accidentally spilled my beer. I was happy as I don't need to finish it up but he felt bad and wanted to order a new glass. Luckily I stopped him. Shortly after that, Michelle and I left as we were getting too bored and tired to entertain him. When I got home, it was about 2am and were smsing Taki for fun before i washed up and went to bed.
Oh yes...how could i ever forget. June signed us up for a Corporate Grooming and Etiquette Workshop (1/2 day) which was hosted by our HR Dept. The image consultant was Dolly Kee from Image Power. Initially, we were pretty turn off when we saw her pic as it was like some pic taken in late 80's. However, when we met her in real life, she is indeed a lady who carries herself well in corporate world and professionally groomed with full confidence. The session was fun and indeed learnt a lot about the beauty of being groomed professionally and building self confidence. Dolly owns a company called Image Power. The website is http://www.imagepower.com.my/. After the session, I truly believe that Image is Power and always know how to make decision at the right time. There is no second chance for first impression !
Just came back from massage at Chakras. It was a good one ! I'm still deciding whether i will be joining MY and TAC for drinks tonight. The feeling is worse when you know that none of your friends can make it. sigh....counting the time now...

A Walk with Buddha
May 19 - It's wesak day ! I always like wesak day as I think i'm able to find peace on this day. Though I'm a buddhist but I have not been to any of the dharma classes or even know a lot about buddhism. I respect this religion and i do believe Buddha does exist. That's all I can say.
Today, I joined Bee to attend the procession at Maha Vihara Buddhist Temple in Brickfields. It was my time joining the procession since the last time i did was during my time in KT. The procession started at 7pm. We were walking from the temple and went straight down to Dataran Merdeka before making a turn back to the temple. It sounded near but it wasn't. It took us 3 hours to walk while holding the lotus candles which cost us RM5 each. There was also a stranger just gave us some christsanthemum while wished us Happy Wesak Day during the walk. Though it was tiring but I find it meaningful. As i walked, i prayed that we will live in harmony. Both Bee and I also chatted a lot. Basically, we were catching up with each other since the last time i saw her was a month ago. The theme for this year's wesak celebration is “Creating a Harmonious Society with Compassion and Equality”. Hope this theme is achievable. I have been reading daily news on what happen to people in this world. So many natural disasters....few years back was Tsunami and lately Cyclone in Myanmar and the more recent was the earthquake that hit Sichuan. So many lives were taken in such a short period. not hundreds but thousands. It's sad that we can't do much but watch. I have given out some donations in terms of cash through my company's donation drive. Though not much but I hope it will at least help those who have survived.
Before joining Bee for the procession, Jeff asked me for lunch and joined him for the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian". It was my first time watching Narnia as i missed out the previous episode. It was worth watching though =).
Just dipped my tiring legs with Lavendar Salt which was given to me by Bee. She bought it from Prague when she was in Germany for holidays. Pampering myself is something I always wanted to do. hehe...

A day filled with joy and peace
Yesterday I brought my parents and bro for lunch at our favourite pan mee shop in Puchong. Basically, my parents like to enjoy the chinese tea there. Unfortunately, my dad was caughing so he can't drink much. We had a great lunch and when the bill came, they overcharged us by RM35. Luckily i checked the bill. The tea was suppose to cost RM2.80 but they charged us RM38. Phew...managed to get the refunds back and the lady boss there came to apologize to us. If they are rude, I will not go back there again.
After lunch, i came home to dress up as my friend, Stephy asked me to accompany her at Sunway Pyramid. After fetching my sis to her friend's house in BU, i headed to sunway. Thought i was late but somehow i'm the first who arrived after wasted some time looking for parking. When Stephy came, she went to try out some dresses as her company annual dinner is coming soon - THEME "Oscar's Night". She tried a few and shortlisted one. About 5pm, Daniel and his friend, Lai came to join us. We went to collect our movie tickets to watch "What Happens in Vegas" starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. Before we went into the cinema, we managed to grab Baskin Robbins ice cream. yummy !
The movie was indeed hilarious and I love it so much. I love the storyline and drooling over Ashton Kutcher...hahah....well i never like him but he was good in that movie. Daniel and Lai left about 15 mins before the movie ends as Daniel has to rush back to KL for a wedding dinner. Somehow yesterday was a good day for wedding. I have a few friends also attended wedding. After the movie, Stephy and I went to Sakae Sushi for dinner. It was my first time trying out Sakae Sushi. I only tried Sushi Zanmai and I thought it was good enough. We had a pleasant dinner together. It always nice when you have a nice friend to talk to while enjoying dinner.
We two are evil too as we also bought some accessories from Diva - it was on 50% and is irresistable ! I was happy as finally manage to get some long dangling necklaces for myself. Can't wait to wear them....
After that, we went to check out Coco Banana, a new club just opened in Sunway. It was apparently from the QBar management. Since it was early so there was no cover charge so we just went in to check out the place. It was a nice place with sophisticated deco. It will be a nice club to hang out with bunch of good friends. Stephy's bf tagged along as he came early to fetch Stephy home. We sat outside instead of inside Coco Banana and ordered Vodka Lime. We left about 10 plus. It was pretty jam at the carpark as it took about 20 mins to leave Sunway.
When i reached home, Taki called me as he was up to go for drinks with me after a wedding reception. We were suppose to go to Swenson but it was closed when he reached there. So we ended up in McD at SS15. It was nice chatting with him. We talked about work, religion and food of course. I think we spent almost 2 hours chatting while enjoying our decent drinks....hahah....Taki is indeed mature in terms of his thinking. He is someone i look up to =). Well, he is going back to SG tomorrow. Hope to catch up with him again soon. Yes, i may consider my career in SG if good opportunities arise. When i reached home last night, it was about 2 plus in the morning.
This morning I woke up early to fetch my parents to the airport as they are heading back my hometown. My dad can't stay here long and worse if he doesn't have his own car here. Now, i have two cleaners to clean the whole house....with such a hot weather, i feel so lazy to go out.

Teacher's Day
May 16 - It's teacher's day !
It also reminded me of a very funny incident when i was in Form 2 during a teacher's day celebration in school. Usually, there are a few clubs in school will organize flower selling so the students will buy and give it to the teachers they like. somehow i received one too myself. It was from a classmate of mine who had a crush on me. hahah...it was such an embarassing moment. I was teased left and right by my classmates. Apparently, that guy thought i had a crush on him too as i noticed he tried to look at me whenever i'm not looking. Sigh...it was really a huge misunderstanding. Since the incident, i never talk to him at all and he also avoided me. Luckily nothing happened since then. Though we aren't close anymore but we still keep each other in friendster as friends. Though it's embarassing but it makes me miss my schooling days so much. I cherished my childhood and what I've been through.
This whole week is a hectic week for me at work and also unexpected crisis just happened in the same week. Everyone in the office is so stressed up especially my boss. One crisis after another....nevertheless, all have been settled but we are praying hard that we will not lose our biggest client just because of that. What makes us even more pissed is that the client did not feel appreciative at all although we managed to settle everything within a day. Well, we have already given the best to them. If they still want to be pissed at us, we have nothing to say. It's their problem ! Who cares...i always believe that once we have put our best foot forward to perform the best and it is still not appreciative then don't even need to bother about them. i also learnt a lot from the past. As long as we are happy with what we have done. Nothing is perfect in this world and we can't please everyone. We will be suffered if we are too hard towards ourselves. Looks like, a year older makes me a year wiser. hahah..self praise !!! What to do....taureans love to self praise.
I'm happy that I get to meet up with Taki for lunch. He was back from SG yesterday night since it's a long weekend in view of Wesak Day. We had lunch at Du Viet - Vietnamese Cuisine. I always love the beef noodle there and lemongrass ginger tea. Taki bought me lunch for my belated birthday celebration. It was nice meeting him since we have been chatting online most of the time and the last time i saw him was during our company tax seminar last year. Hope I can go SG one day to pay him a visit.
Due to the hectic workload this whole week, i didn't get to have dinner with my parents at all. Today I finally brought them out for dinner at Pizza Uno in Taipan, Subang. Luckily the food did not disappoint them. My dad is a very chinese oriented man and always prefer chinese cooking so hardly we get to bring him to try other types of food. He seemed to like his oven baked chicken. My dad was not feeling well as he caught a flu since the Langkawi trip so i brought him to see doctor too. Hope he will feel better after this. I feel bad at times that i don't spend enough time with my parents. i keep reminding myself that they are getting old and not many years left. I do not want to feel regret one day if they would to leave me one day. How I wish i have lots of money now to pay for their everything and sign them up for tours. Sigh...the money factor always makes us feel that life sucks !
I'm glad that I have achieved something today.....Finally.....I'm proud of myself =).

As long as we are happy with what we have done. Nothing is perfect in this world and we can't please everyone. We will be suffered if we are too hard towards ourselves. Looks like, a year older makes me a year wiser. hahah..self praise !!! What to do....taureans love to self praise.
I'm happy that I get to meet up with Taki for lunch. He was back from SG yesterday night since it's a long weekend in view of Wesak Day. We had lunch at Du Viet - Vietnamese Cuisine. I always love the beef noodle there and lemongrass ginger tea. Taki bought me lunch for my belated birthday celebration. It was nice meeting him since we have been chatting online most of the time and the last time i saw him was during our company tax seminar last year. Hope I can go SG one day to pay him a visit.
Due to the hectic workload this whole week, i didn't get to have dinner with my parents at all. Today I finally brought them out for dinner at Pizza Uno in Taipan, Subang. Luckily the food did not disappoint them. My dad is a very chinese oriented man and always prefer chinese cooking so hardly we get to bring him to try other types of food. He seemed to like his oven baked chicken. My dad was not feeling well as he caught a flu since the Langkawi trip so i brought him to see doctor too. Hope he will feel better after this. I feel bad at times that i don't spend enough time with my parents. i keep reminding myself that they are getting old and not many years left. I do not want to feel regret one day if they would to leave me one day. How I wish i have lots of money now to pay for their everything and sign them up for tours. Sigh...the money factor always makes us feel that life sucks !
I'm glad that I have achieved something today.....Finally.....I'm proud of myself =).

A year older and a year wiser?
13 May - it was my 26th birthday!
The celebration continued at the office at around 5:30pm. They bought me a jelly cake from Q Jelly. Well, it's very popular nowadays to have jelly cake as a real cake can be quite boring at times. The cake is the shape of a teddy bear. It's so adorable and you just don't feel like eating it. As usual, we were cam whoring again in the office. hehehehe...anyway, it brings back a lot of sweet memories. My cake (pic below).
It was a pleasant day as my colleagues bought me a surprise lunch at Tony Roma's at The Curve and celebrated my birthday in the office. Smses, calls and emails started to come in even before i woke up for work. First sms came from my best buddy, MY and it was really nice to start my day.
Although it was a busy day in the office and can hear my boss stressful voice cursing the clients left and right, they managed to cheer me up especially on this special day =). I'm very thankful to have such beloved colleagues. EL and ML told me to join them lunch somewhere in Uptown. I waited with EL and saw ML came with a car. Nothing to say but I just hopped into the car and drove me all the way to The Curve. When we reached there, both my bosses were already there and shouted "SURPRISE" the moment i walked into Tony Roma's. I had beef steak and i would say the service there was excellent. The staff also sang me birthday song and gave me a birthday card with a complimentary dessert. Nevertheless, it was a happy moment.

When we were back in the office, they gave me the pressie and it was a fabulous dress from Forever 21. It was my first dress from there. I never seem to get anything that I like from there. But I really love it. It was a dark blue dress with red ribbon (see pic below). They just know my taste and it fits me perfectly well. Love you all :)

I missed the movie twice and will not miss it anymore if it is showing again. Overall, I had a great day. Thanks to all the beautiful birthday wishes. You know who you are =) !
Today, MY and I suppose to meet up for dinner as a celebration for both of us since her birthday falls on 15 May and mine on 13 May so we celebrate in between. Somehow it has been cancelled as MY's bf showed up today and gave her a surprise birthday present. He fetched her up from client's office and told her that they were heading to the airport as he is bringing her to Gold Coast, Australia. Wow....when she smsed me, I was as speechless as her. It was so touched and indeed a huge surprise. It was all pre-planned by her bf since 2 - 3 months ago by getting MY's family and colleagues involved. They are now on the plane heading to Gold Coast. I'm really happy for her. Hope both of you enjoy the trip =) as I will claim my free dinner after this since i was ffk. TAC is such a sweet guy and I think not many guys like him exist in this world. MY, you are such a lucky girl !

Genting Trip
Yesterday I went Genting with my colleagues as it was organized by my company's Sports Club. I had dim sum for breakfast with my colleagues at HCT near our office. After registration, our bus departed from Uptown at 8:50am. The bus ride was horrible as the driver drove so fast and we reached Genting outdoor theme park sharp at 10am. I suffered a bit of dizziness and vomitted the moment i stepped into the toilet. It was a horrible experience and i told myself i won't take a bus up to Genting anymore. I rather drive to awana and take a cable car instead. The road is winding and with that kind of speed. It is extremely horrifying.
Nevertheless, we managed to enjoy ourselves at the Theme Park. We started off with Cyclone. Actually, i don't like taking roller coaster due to the heights and speed. Cyclone was the first roller coaster in Malaysia and it was the mildest among the new ones i.e. Flying monster, solero shot and cockscrew. Though it's mild but I hate the feeling when it is rolling down at a high speed. Just felt like my heart has dropped. Initially, we thought of trying out Flying monster. By the look at it, we pulled out. We also took the chance to feed the japanese koi at the waterfall fish pond. The pic below shows the number of koi in that pond and they were overlapping each other to fight for food. Poor fishes....
After the ship ride which i didn't take, we headed to try out dragon train but it was under maintenance. So we went to play archery instead. It was my second time trying out archery. I had the same problem lifting the archer as I find it heavy. I can feel that my arm was shakey but it wasn't so bad afterall. Take a look at the pic below - number 17 is mine.
After archery, we went for our lunch buffet at coffee terrance. It was an international buffet with cosy seating area. Four of us ate so much but it was satisfying. After lunch, we spent our time indoor. Eunice and Jay went to try their luck at the casino. June and I went shopping. We were suppose to buy shoes for our colleagues in Vietnam. Unfortunally, we can't find any nice ones and moreover Padini Concept Store was closed for renovation. We ended up buying some accessories and tops from FOS.
We left Genting around 5pm and had a stop at the Malaysian Chocolate Factory. I was too sleepy and dozed off on the bus. When we arrived Uptown, it was about 6:30pm. Luckily the journey back wasn't so bad. I drove straight to MY's house to get ready for our dinner appointment with another two of her colleagues at the Curve. I picked PS up at around 8pm and headed to The Curve. We had our dinner at Itallianies and went over to Laundry for drinks. It was a great night. We chatted a lot and had a lot of fun. Nice friends to hang out with. That night MY and I wore our buddy chains which i bought for her from Genting. It was cool as I appreciate our friendship very much.
Today afternoon, I met up with LK and WL for drinks and I had my so called lunch. Finally I hand over the Vietnamese Coffee to them since my trip to Vietnam 3 months back. It was nice to catch up with two of old classmates and they are happily married. Good for them.
I'm going off for dinner with my sis next door. Signing off now....

My heart is filled with excitement
Finally I had signed up for Sports Club after 3 years working in DTT. So tomorrow I'm going to Genting with my fellow colleagues and other Sports Club members for a family day trip. It only costs me RM25 which i can enjoy a lunch buffet at coffee terrance (my fav place for buffet) and also entrance to both outdoor and indoor theme park. Hope i can have lots of fun.
Just now a friend of mine wrote me a love quote and I have decided to publish it here in my blog today. Here it goes....
"Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love"
I'm not sure how true it is but I find that it is a good one. Though I've been in love before this, I can understand that it's unavoidable to have feelings for another guy/girl when you are in a relationship. That's why people will be in a relationship to be with someone or out of a relationship to be with another person. But I do believe one thing, love comes and goes when you least expected. I have been in a relationship twice. In both my relationships, I have been very happy before and also been very sad before. This is the risk that you might be hurt if you open up your heart to someone. I used to think that I will never open up my heart to anyone. Finally I did but love can really make you very happy and can also mess you up. You'll be lucky if you can be happy but it's torturous when you just get hurt and hurt again and again.
I was hurt deeply and I foresee this cut will remain as a scar forever. I'm pretty sure that my heart will never be the same again as I never been so in love with someone before up to the extend that I'm willing to give up my heart and soul just for him. Love takes hostages. The moment he walked out from my life, I feel that I've lost everything. = ( Each day I wake up and think that things will never be the same again. It's such a tough moment to go through. Trust me....it's very difficult when you have to go through the pain and accept the fact that he is no longer in love with you. Nevertheless, I know I can go through it as I want to prove to him that it is his biggest mistake for letting me go especially whenever he feels like it.
I just hate myself for loving him so much....sigh....till now i can feel the chest pain and i can burst into any tears esp memories of him start flashing back.

When will my tears run dry ?
I slipped and fell when i was on my way to work on Monday morning after I parked my car. I did try to balance up but failed. Worst still, a guy on my opposite direction saw me fell down. Darn embarrassing ! Luckily he was just a stranger so it wasn't so bad afterall. There was a small cut but didn't realise the pain until today. After a few rubs, there is a huge blue black near my left ankle. I just applied some cream to ease the pain. I'm such a clumsy person...well i would say i wasn't concentrate when i was walking.
Today I went out with Jody for a dinner followed by movie "Ironman". It has been so long that I last met Jody. I had a pleasant time catching up with each other plus the movie was good. The story was based on a comic and with my fav actress Gwyneth Paltrow in there. It's all good =). Worth watching. Now i feel bad as today's dinner and movie was on Jody. The next one will be my turn ya, Jody :D.
There were some sad scenes in the movie. The saddest scene was when an Afghan terrorist tried to separate a father and son. He pointed a rifle towards the father while the son was watching. I almost burst into tears. I can imagine all these scenes during war. It reminded me a lot when i visited a war museum in Vietnam. It was all about the war between Americans and Vietnamese. So many pictures were displayed about the civilians being tortured and poisoned....it was indeed depressing. By looking at those pics, i feel very lucky to have lived here rather than going through such pain and cruelty. Thanks God !
When I was driving home after the movie, all of sudden, i got so emotional and my tears rolled down slowly. Well, i was haunted by the past all over again so I could not hold back my tears. I told myself that I will not cry over him anymore but I did. Just can't help it sometimes as memories do flash back from time to time. I cherish the sweet memories but somehow it makes me cry even more. Hope it will be the last one for him especially. Sigh....

Seeing him from far....
I can feel the coldness between me and him. Well, it's also too late for me to make him feel bad after what he has done to me since i have not been listening to ppl around me. I should have stopped and drawn the line.....just hate myself as i'm such a softie. I feel bad easily and i dislike the feeling of hating one another so i always end up giving in. But the truth is I'm still very much in love with him. He will be forever hold a special place in my heart although he may be very cruel to me at one point but I know very well that he didn't mean to hurt me that way but it is for my own good. In fact, i do believe one thing - Love someone doesn't mean you have to be with him/her but seeing him/her happy is good enough.
The phrases below are so true.....It's sad but very true.
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "Maybe we should just be friends" or "How very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love." - Neil Gaiman

Time to start fresh
Well, I have been feeling demotivated in everything lately so thought after a 3D2N trip, i would be feeling much better. At least must have a bit of motivation to start work tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. =)
My trip to Awana Kijal, Terengganu (approximately 250km from KL) was good. I must say thanks to GPS system (courtesy from PL's bro) !!!! At least I have lots of sleep for the past 3 days and I'm fully recharged both mentally and physically. Initially, I didn't have high expectations on that place since it wasn't a new holiday spot. Overall, I'm satisfied with the room and surroundings (pic below) - at least it's cleaned and well maintained. Gosh....I'm missing the bed already =). Actually, the whole place is a great place to relax and also for family outings. There are so many activities to do i.e. golfing, swimming, beach activities, cycling etc. Now I feel bad that I didn't fully utilise the facilities there.....only had a dip in the pool on the first day. Most of the time, my friends and I just sleep, eat and drink ! But we did enjoy ourselves =).
The weather was also good throughout the whole trip only on the last day when we were leaving Kijal, it was raining all the way back to KL. But at least we won't feel the heat while travelling in the car. It's sad that no more holidays and we are all back to reality. Arrgghhh....slap me !
