The bitter: Monday blues. Nothing new. It was generally okay at work, with a bit of drama and wtf moments. There's still a bit of frustration of trying to pick up ppl's work that's in many many pieces. I do learn a lot still through that, but my slowness is not something I'm happy with at the moment.
The sweet: It's travel time again soon. A bit of of a bitter part is that I still have so much to do and I've not yet packed. As at now (near 11 pm) I just took down my big luggage from on top of the cupboard. I wonder if I can just travel with an empty back, come back with a full one ;D
Funny or sad thing, I'm not sure, but every time I blog the same old phrase comes to mind all the time. Time flies. This time it feels like it hasn't been that long since I last traveled. And here I am (albeit blogging instead of packing) packing my bags again.
Here's hoping for a safe, good and fruitful trip :) Steven's away to Scotland as well I think. Last I heard, he just arrived in England.
Let's do this!

To Bangkok and Back
Last weekend, I participated in the inter central bank games in Bangkok. The last time I visited Bangkok, was when my big brother was sailing the Optimist in Pattaya... (Optimist sailing is only for 15 year olds and younger, that's how long ago it was)
A bunch of pics have been posted up on facebook, and I'll just leave it as that. Irene took this awesome picture on the bus tho: :D
We placed second overall, and in all games too, except squash who got first! Congrats guys! ^^
Bangkok, is seriously an awesome place to shop!
Anyway, I've been meaning to post stuff about life priorities, but I think I better not :P
Instead, I'm gonna update my shop list ^_^
Ps. The new ipod nano is suuuuper cute *_*

Dear Diary,
It seems unbelievable. I left for an 18 day trip. It felt like I was away for a month.
It was a lovely trip, every single moment was spent to its best. Aside from a longer stay, I felt like nothing could be better. :) There was a good feeling of satisfaction there.
I then attended a course after two days back at work. But beginning of that course, I started to become sick. That gave me another two days of medical leave as I was suspected of dengue. Thankfully, it was negative, but I was nevertheless punctured twice to get blood out of me :P
On the road to recovery, the fasting month has arrived. I'm not 100% recovered yet, so all these raya goodies are off limits ;_; Can't wait till I can savour them :D yummmm
This week was actually the first full week back in office. And I'm glaaaad that's over!

Wow, hey, it's 4th of July already?
And again, time flew. I just got back from Langkawi today after a department's Family Day 2010. While I'm unpacking my stuff, I'm packing at the same time for my trip to Belgium this coming Saturday.
Oh gosh.. There's so much to do within this week! (Including Laundry :p)
and sending car to P16..
and exchanging money..
etc.
WHEEEE!!!

The preparation for Pattaya
In two weeks, I'll be heading off to Pattaya, Thailand for the Inter-Central Bank Games. It would be my first time going for this annual games, participated by four countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
There's 5 games each year, including one indoor/board game, and this year, it's Chess ^_^
I feel lucky that I'll be surrounded by many familiar people including April, Jas and Rozai. I can imagine that it would be a blast!
Tho part of the preparation, is to learn up some kind of cultural dance to perform there later :S

Questions and Painful Legs
*how was hockey?
Despite the annoying delay of all the matches by 40 minutes, and the fact that I'm so unfit, I did not faint on the field, and I really enjoyed the game. We came out 3rd out of 3 teams, but I had a lot of fun. I know I'd do it again next year.
Why did I take it up? I remembered holding the hockey stick once at school, and tried to stop a ball and hit it away. I quite liked that feeling. But never had the chance. And here, the girls team did not have enough players to even make a full field team. That's where I come in.
*how was the party?
The hockey matches delay and the captain's insisting on me staying for the last game (which weren't ours), caused all my plans on Saturday to go whacky. So doing all sorts of stuff in between, for the sake of getting things done at a cheaper 'price', totally wore me out before the party.
Because of doing errands, I caused April (who carpooled with me) and myself to be late for the dance class (part of the hen party). Thankfully, the trainer was late too, due to a flat tyre. We danced to "Single Ladies" by Beyonce, I've the video.. not sure if I'll upload it.. hmm ;o
Then rushed to Azura's place to shower and change for the dinner. I was famished by then, cuz of the hockey, I kinda missed lunch.
Dinner was ok, just thought my portion was a bit small, even tho it was one of the more expensive stuff on the menu. I was famished okay.. The place didn't really do much dancing.. But I was fine with that, I'm just too tired by night time.
*how was sailing?
Sailing started off ok, after a rough bump with arrangements. Imagine trying to arrange time and transport and stuff in the party while there's loud music and lots of people chatting around you. I felt a bit bad being antisocial.
The hectic part partially comes because I was taking Anuar sailing as well. Besides him getting back into sailing, he has to complete his CAS stuff for his International Baccalaureate by collecting more Activity hours. I couldn't confirm till that night if he had a spot on the boat as it was subjected to the owner's approval...
Then sailing itself was ok, we managed first after a long 1.5 hr race, but only fared 2nd in the 2nd race. At least it was a much shorter race back to the club.
Hurriedly ate some snacks, then drove back, stopping by at KFC for some dinner.
And so here I am, back at home, preparing for work and other things.

Do I hear a WHEE~?
So I got my chin up bar :D
It's now attached, and yet, I dare not use it yet xD Gonna wait till dad drills some support screws in :P
Quick overview on the Penang Road Trip. It was something really new, and really filled with food. A lot of things I envisioned it to be, was not to be. But it was still really enjoyable! :) Can't wait for my next trip!

First road trip done!
Yep, at the age of 24, I've finally went through my first road trip with friends from the office!
However, as usual, story will come later, as it's almost 1 AM right now.
My first wishlist was done at last at least :D And now placed in the navigation bar ~ :D
Sweet dreams!

Road Trip to the North!
I was planning to blog about @p, but the pace of life have picked up again, and in a couple of hours, I'll be off to Taiping and Penang. So can't write much now, as I've just began to pack :P
See you in a few days! ^^
See you in a few days! ^^
When the night has come
"Stand by me" was the one song that I kept thinking off while I sailed through the night. Especially the part 'when the night has come, and the land is dark'.
There's so much to tell about the Raja Muda Race that I participated in, but being a no good story-teller, I've no idea how to tell it in a non-boring way. So here goes anyway.
The facts first:

There's so much to tell about the Raja Muda Race that I participated in, but being a no good story-teller, I've no idea how to tell it in a non-boring way. So here goes anyway.
The facts first:
- There's three main passages to race. Port Klang - Pangkor Island - Penang Island - Langkawi Island
- In all three passage races, we started off around 1 pm.
- We arrived in Pangkor Island at about 8 am the following day, Penang Island about 4 am the following day, and Langkawi at about 9.30 pm the same day (yay)
- I sailed in a Hunter 49 boat
- I threw up a total of 4 times: thrice on the first passage, once on the second, and none on third!

Technical Blues
It's still the first quarter of 2009, and again, my computer decided to be naughty. This time, the C: drive did not like the idea of being a good harddisk, thus becoming corrupt. My attempts to correct it was in vain and so I turned to the computer expert of the family. Together, we tried to fix the errors, but it only became worse, and ultimately, it crashed under pressure and refused to function properly anymore.
Reformat :P
Reinstall windows :K
Reinstall everything else T_T
Slowly now :P
Thank goodness I've backed up everything.
Stupid computers :K
Oh, today the bunch of us went to Tanjung Tuan for this Raptor watching event. We hiked up to the lighthouse there in an attempt to get a better view of migrating birds from Sumatra towards Thailand, until its final destination in Siberia.
There wasn't much luck, but as we descended back to the event area, there were lots of 'em hovering above us. Thank goodness there were no droppings :D
Btw, Tanjung Tuan is near PD. And apparently it's in Melaka o.o (wasn't aware that PD is that close to Melaka already)
That was today's trip. Now gotta focus for tomorrow's placement interview.. wish me luck!

Travels~
I'm now in Aarschot, Belgium. A couple of days ago I was in London. Slightly more than a couple of days ahead, I'll be in Germany. Visiting friends are so much fun.
The plane ride, not so much fun. I hate long plane rides xD But.. it was worth it :D
I've been trying to be careful with my arm, it seems to not hurt as often at night as it used to. Specifically at night when I sleep. Hopefully the ligament makes full recovery by Christmas, then I can start strength training it.
Lots of interesting stuff talked about and discussed. And happened, like coming here, being in a station where I could not understand anything I read xP
Oh, it's cold. really cold. :P

Pains, Injuries and Results.. oh and Melb
After exams were over, things remained as hectic as ever. Didn't even realise it's been over a month since I last blogged o.O omg.
Anyway, sailing fun has given me some unexpected (srsly unexpected ;p) injuries and stuff. The last being a rope burn around my neck and a ligament tear on my right elbow. That happened on the 14th of Nov, and right now, the rope burn is healing well while my arm.. still can't be straighten. I fear that I'd be forced to fish out a lot of cash (80++ per visit) for physio.. x.x
Cash.. cash.. Strapped for cash at the moment.. Due to some circumstances, I had overpaid my tuition fees and is waiting the refund.. The refund is taking ages.
So many things happening.. I'm gonna go travelling with Amy soon. Gonna be awesome ^^ Just two weeks ago I was in Melbourne. Pics on facebook (as usual). I reckon my facebook tends to be more updated than my blog.. Guess 'cause it's a lot easier to update. xP
Exams exams.. Exams ended and results were announced last week. I'm gonna graduate! ^_^ Finally, lol =p
Oh, and it's summer now. DAMN HOT. :K

Gold Coast Revisited
MovieworldWas my first informal outing with just friends, had a blast :D Kinda ;D
Before anything, I gotta post that my wallet is found and is safe in Wei Hon's hands. Everything is intact, except the money is missing. Would be awesome if it was still there, but I didn't hope too much, just glad that I will be getting my Malaysian IDs back soon.
Wet 'n' WildSince it was a long holiday there, and me being lazy to post day to day happenings, basically the things we did is:
Movieworld, Wet 'n' Wild, Harbourtown (shopping), Surfers Paradise (a few times), Brisbane - DFO and Visiting my Uncle and Aunt
This time round, I spent more time on the beach, which is awesome, cuz i barely stepped onto the sands last time I was there. We swam, we played frisbee, and tf and I even took one of the surfing classes there. The waves was sooo big and scary! xD
Altogether we have about 700 pics taken from three cameras :P As usual they'll be going up on facebook. *hint hint* ;)
Now one more week till Semester 2 starts, and possibly my last semester. I'm working on extending my visa already since it was supposed to expire next month xD eep
Crap T.T Canberra~
Last Thu-Fri, we made a trip to Canberra. Damn it's a lot colder there than in Sydney. Next week I'm gonna head up north to the Gold Coast again. yay :P
Canberra was okay, certainly not a place I'd wanna stay long-term, but in its own way it has lots of nice scenery and stuff. But where are the people? :P The moment the bus 'entered' Canberra, I wondered that, as there are not many people/cars/traffic, as compared to Sydney of course. Then again, I've been brought up in the KL/PJ area and even in Shah Alam during my Diploma studies, there's always a lot of people roaming around :P
Another thing that I noticed, is that most, if not all, the buildings are relatively short (like PKNS), spaced out, and in some sort of brown shade. Not many colours xP It reminded me of the old universities somehow x)
Overall it was a pretty okay trip, since it was planned at the very last minute (literally, as we discussed where to visit over lunch upon arrival), the only bad thing that happened is losing my wallet there T.T Seriously, crap. I've had that wallet since I was 14 or so, and even though it's falling apart, I still happily use it, till I'm gifted another. :P (It was a birthday present from Farah, one of my old school buddies, and prior to that wallet, I was also using a Garfield wallet that I got for my 11th or 12th birthday). Now, I have to get a new one ...
That's not much of a problem tho, what I'm more concerned about is all my IDs and such T.T My bankcards/credit cards have been cancelled, I've got my student id replaced, tomorrow going to get my australian photo id. That's really not too bad, in a way, just more outflow of cash, but things could've been worse I reckon. I'm so glad I went for the photo ID, rather than carrying my passport around and risk losing it. It seems that I can also get my malaysian driving license for RM20 replaced, however, I have to be back in Malaysia it seems o.o And same case for my Malaysian IC, except that it's way more expensive. :K *shrugs* I've no info yet on how to get it replaced or anything while I'm still in Australia. And considering that I'm gonna extend my visa really soon for the next semester, I'm just glad to have my passport with me.

Over the last week, I've been hanging out more with some friends, and over that week I learnt a lot about tennis :P And thus I became one of them whom stayed up all night watching the Wimbledon finals. It sucks to see the person I was rooting for lost. However, seeing sports makes me wanna tune up the activeness in it again o.o Sailing, chess? scrabble? I have to go to the gym tho :P

I'm not a perfect person
Lately, I when I listen to music, I'm beginning to listen to the lyrics and the meaning behind them. Some reflect lives, some portray dreams, while some also inspire me to go on and such.
Anyhow, not being a person who used to listen to music or even have a radio when I was a kid, I couldn't appreciate music and their ability to 'touch our hearts'. While there's still a lot I don't know about the music entertainment, there's some that I listen to lately and have it stuck in my head for awhile :D So now when I blog, I'm gonna post the song that's stuck in my head for some reason (inspiring/reflection/etc.)
Outside of that, now that exams are over, results coming out next week *yikes* there's still so much to do, and even now it feels like this short winter break is gonna pass by really fast. Damn it, it's not enough! xD At least, I'm enjoying it =) Even with a few shortcomings here and there, that can really put a damper onto things, but yeah, so much to do, so little time x) But it's best to go for it :D No idea when I'd have the opportunity later on anyways, once this semester is done, another crazy semester ahead, then into the workforce o.o
Many things in the future still remain in doubt... So I'm kinda unsure what's going to happen, so now I'm just letting time and nature takes it course.. whatever happens happens.
Just now a bunch of us went to watch KungFu Panda, while I did laugh a lot, I don't find it a spectacular show, but it is still a good watch :D It's like one of those shows that you'd watch once in the cinemas, at least for me xD But there's one good quote from the movie I like:

One of the most tiring weeks ever D:
Monday:
Had a presentation at 6 pm, but group has only met up once, and I don't really know that morning either what we'll be presenting (basically which part). Meet up with one group mate at 12 noon, then another at 2 pm, then another at 2.45 pm, then the other one at 5 pm (there's 5 of us in the group) and only around 5.30 pm did we finally get all the slides compiled (yes, 30 mins before presentation).
Working with people can be so hard at times T_T
Then because we didn't prepare a summary of the presentation, I was passed the task to provide it to the tutor that night before midnight, even though I have dance class right after that tutorial which ended at 7.30 pm. Dance ended at 8.45 pm. Was a really tiring day, managed to get the summary and bibliography done and e-mailed at 11.45 pm.
Tuesday:
Was supposed to send a hard copy of the summary, but after all the stress the night before I was too tired to do anything. Luckily one of my group mates helped out with that. Even tho the both of us missed our 9 am lecture. I knew I'd be too tired to go.
Of course, Tuesdays are my long days.. I went to my 11 am lecture, which I often find interesting, then a 2 hr workshop at 1 pm. (Instant noodles for lunch! hehe). Then another 1 hr break before another tutorial at 4 pm o_o and the double lectures was right after that class.
Apparently the double lecture was moved to next week because the lecture hall was booked after the first lecture (haha, and i didn't know this because i left early :P srsly i can't sit still, plus i don't think he's time efficient.. oh, and i was really really hungry too :P)
Wednesday:
Slept in! Well for a tiny bit, since I have class at 11 am. I had the afternoon free, so I just sorted out my notes and all that stuff and ms a bit, since i'm expecting a trade from someone who never showed up T_T. Then I went to the gym, before cooking spaghetti for the whole house for dinner ^_^ Yum!
Thursday:
As I've made plans with MC, we went out to Coogee for another coastal walk. It was a good day, thankfully, and I'm really putting in a bit of effort to be outdoors more. I kinda like doing physical activity, sports, gym, sailing, dancing.. =)
The bus to Coogee beach was really late tho T_T we waited like 30-40 minutes before one actually came (was 10 mins interval). Then we completed the walk in just over an hour :D (First time took me 2 hours, second time 2.5 hrs since I was with mum, thired time 1.5 hrs). Ended that part with a tiny bit of shopping in Bondi Jn before arriving home. Then I was so sleepy, i napped till about 1 hr before my jazz dance at the gym xD
Happily dinner was prepared once I was back from gym =) Thanks hc & sindy!
Friday friday friday.
Well I stayed up pretty late, so I knew I'll be skipping pilates the next morning xD So I slept in a bit, but I had to be up by 11 am and make lunch right away, pack up and head to sailing. It takes me about 1 hr to get there, and we have to be there at 1 pm. I was a bit late again. But I was put into the last boat which was cool, and all of us have sailed before. So I got the opportunity to helm a bit more, and I steered upwind towards Rose Bay =) With the pleasant weather, it felt nice ^^
I reached home about 5 pm, wondering why the ride on the bus feel soooo long xD I tried reading the book that mum sent me while Anuar was here, but I got dizzy on the bus x.x
Again, spent a bit of time online, I can't remember doing what exactly, but I think it was fb-ing and youtubing (oh yeah, youtubing ANTM 10 xD), then showered then watched Cheaper By The Dozen on TV while having dinner :D It's ok movie, but I kinda expected something else...
Saturday is now here. And I gotta study for my mid-term X_x this morning was spent grocery shopping. Man, my skin is so dry lately =/ and my headaches still about. I think I took meds about 3 times this week. *wants a good massage...* *hugs Van* I do visit, I just don't know what to say =/ All I can do is apologize I guess =(
Time flies, but i guess no use thinking about it. In life, I want to move forward and forward, and hopefully I'll be able to pursue my dreams one day =)
Had a presentation at 6 pm, but group has only met up once, and I don't really know that morning either what we'll be presenting (basically which part). Meet up with one group mate at 12 noon, then another at 2 pm, then another at 2.45 pm, then the other one at 5 pm (there's 5 of us in the group) and only around 5.30 pm did we finally get all the slides compiled (yes, 30 mins before presentation).
Working with people can be so hard at times T_T
Then because we didn't prepare a summary of the presentation, I was passed the task to provide it to the tutor that night before midnight, even though I have dance class right after that tutorial which ended at 7.30 pm. Dance ended at 8.45 pm. Was a really tiring day, managed to get the summary and bibliography done and e-mailed at 11.45 pm.
Tuesday:
Was supposed to send a hard copy of the summary, but after all the stress the night before I was too tired to do anything. Luckily one of my group mates helped out with that. Even tho the both of us missed our 9 am lecture. I knew I'd be too tired to go.
Of course, Tuesdays are my long days.. I went to my 11 am lecture, which I often find interesting, then a 2 hr workshop at 1 pm. (Instant noodles for lunch! hehe). Then another 1 hr break before another tutorial at 4 pm o_o and the double lectures was right after that class.
Apparently the double lecture was moved to next week because the lecture hall was booked after the first lecture (haha, and i didn't know this because i left early :P srsly i can't sit still, plus i don't think he's time efficient.. oh, and i was really really hungry too :P)
Wednesday:
Slept in! Well for a tiny bit, since I have class at 11 am. I had the afternoon free, so I just sorted out my notes and all that stuff and ms a bit, since i'm expecting a trade from someone who never showed up T_T. Then I went to the gym, before cooking spaghetti for the whole house for dinner ^_^ Yum!
Thursday:
As I've made plans with MC, we went out to Coogee for another coastal walk. It was a good day, thankfully, and I'm really putting in a bit of effort to be outdoors more. I kinda like doing physical activity, sports, gym, sailing, dancing.. =)
The bus to Coogee beach was really late tho T_T we waited like 30-40 minutes before one actually came (was 10 mins interval). Then we completed the walk in just over an hour :D (First time took me 2 hours, second time 2.5 hrs since I was with mum, thired time 1.5 hrs). Ended that part with a tiny bit of shopping in Bondi Jn before arriving home. Then I was so sleepy, i napped till about 1 hr before my jazz dance at the gym xD
Happily dinner was prepared once I was back from gym =) Thanks hc & sindy!
Friday friday friday.
Well I stayed up pretty late, so I knew I'll be skipping pilates the next morning xD So I slept in a bit, but I had to be up by 11 am and make lunch right away, pack up and head to sailing. It takes me about 1 hr to get there, and we have to be there at 1 pm. I was a bit late again. But I was put into the last boat which was cool, and all of us have sailed before. So I got the opportunity to helm a bit more, and I steered upwind towards Rose Bay =) With the pleasant weather, it felt nice ^^

Sailing in Sydney and Bumming on the Beach
So last Friday, I made my way to CYCA's girls summer squad training ^^ This is how the place looks like:
And this is the view at the park right next to the club. Lovely, eh? ^^
Finally I can now say I've sailed in Sydney :D And I'm so looking forward to be in the water again. I just have to work on getting to know all the other girls as well.. It felt quite awkward x) But I hope it'll improve...
Today I met up again with Lachie, and watched Jumper. Interesting movie ^^ But that's about it.
No pics taken but one tho, since he won't allow me to take photos at all. But pretty much we just went to the beach, i spread out my beach towel, and slept on it. Now THAT, was cool ^^ on the beach, with the breeze, and the blue sky and sunny day. After waking up about like, an hour later, I just look around the beach, and later Lachie started piling sand on my legs :K
The longer I'm here, the more I'm loving Sydney =) Of course, nothing replaces home, especially the food and everything =) But I always do believe that there's ups and downs of every place ^^

Relatives
Exploring your roots and the people related to you can be pretty fun. Last night we had a family reunion in a restaurant near the Prima 16 home. At least 20 of us were there, not much, but it's quite a gathering still ^^
Highlight of the reunion was meeting an uncle I've never met before, and also a cousin I don't remember, but seems he remembered me long long ago (at least 12 years ago).
Now the uncle is residing in Brisbane, and has a son in Melbourne. He's been living there since I was about 4 yrs old, but regardless of not meeting him before, he greeted us pretty warmly and friendly =) It was great ^^
Today I dropped by at RSYC, half-thinking of sailing. I wasn't really feeling like it tho, thus the reason I just stayed in bed and woke up late :D Anyhow, I still went, met up with Rashidee, Tom (who is now married too ;o) and some others.. including this person Raffee whom I tried hard trying to recall if I've met him before or not or was he a fellow sailor.. I think he is, but I don't know why I can't remember him o_o
Other than that, I've been filling my time with FUSHIGI YUUGI~!!!
I looove that anime ^^ Too bad I don't have the manga to read, but Nannerz said the anime is quite loyal enough to the manga, so I'm content for now ^^ But I do have to watch the OVAs next tho. Been watching it while I have no internet connection at Surian. Hopefully I can finish it up before leaving to Aussie this week.. Time flies :)
