Benson and Hedges dream almost came true

Eh.. friendster had started blog thingies rite? Herm.. it is cool when most peoples would read ur blog.. but how can u 'umpat' a certain peoples eh? hihu

I am tired.. It had been a most .. something something week. Haha.. for once I can't put a word to something. No worries.. I was called yesterday for an interview. I am sure most of you would had laugh when they heard the position they ask me to filled in. Somewhat like a kayak instructor. I was strangely surprised, yet.. it was like.. for a while.. I was like.. wow.. A chance to get away from it all. And be one with nature. Well.. my dream is not be one with nature. But.. imagined that if I got the position. I would thin of course, but really really sunburnt. I was tempted to tell the interviewer that this is my chance to get thin and slim. Oh yeahh.. I went along for the ride (interview, I meant) , I was like.. whut the heck. If I got through the 2nd stage of interview, I would be sponsored to go to Langkawi for another interview.

It was really2 tempting for a while. If it were not for my family, I would probably had said yes... on the spot and said "take me now". They gave us an aparment in some resort. And learn all things that nature in Langkawi could give us. I would be able to really contribute something to humanity, since they are also involved in a lot of charity event. AND i would be able to kayak from one island to the other, which are one of my Benson and Hedges dreams of all time. And now.. a company is giving me a chance to experience all that, and get paid for it. Wow~

Yet.. we are always tied down with something. I have already got a job. I have my family. I have to be with my sister now since she will be alone soon. My mom is already freaking out when she heard that. She was like.. "what are you going to do up there".. bla bla bla. I still remembered when the first time I told her I was going to entered a 2 days long kayak expedition. I told her after I had undergone the 1st day training. She rant and said " Kalo kena baham ngan buaya padan muka kau". Hahahha.. I was and still thankful she do not have a 'mulut masin' or I would had probably been a croc lunch.

So.. my family is vehemently against it. Except for my eldest. She told me to do it if I really want it. But.. do I really want it that bad? To leave the family? Leave all my friends? Be one with nature as in get bitten by mosquito all the time, rarely taking bath, hair smelling like longkang?
But its really2 tempting.. wouldnt you be? But.. I probably won;t get the job anyway. But its really gave you something to think about eh? Really way out of line from your comfortable zone.

I love the benson and hedges advertistment. The one done in 3D. With that statuette fluet player robot thinggy playing a tune whilst some stuff-i-cant-really-recall flies around the room.

It was awe inspiring. Back in those days, 3D rendered clips are a rarity.

You wanna be a kayak instructor? hmm.. but nantik your upper body jadik all muscley. Your shoulders start to bulge with rock hard muscle, giving you a broad shouldered outline.

at least you won't need shoulder pads anymore. that's one less thing to worry about.

I don't like shoulder pads. I mean, I don't like looking at baju kurung with pads. It is very rare to see baju kurung with pads that looks ok or flawless. I think that the crease on the edges of the pads is a real turn off. It looks so artificial. so made-up.

so my advice to you dils, (although i bet you might not heed it anyway) is to be true to yourself. Don't wear shoulder pads.

Or is it supposed to be 'be true to yourself and persue whatever you are interested in'?

Maybe you could fnck that. That line only works in the movies.

wah...kayak instructor? must be your dream job. hehehe..

about to accept the offer (incase you got the job), some constraints need to be considered. ppl like in my internship place once work at very worthy place but lots of work to do, but since he considering the valueable time with family (he's going to married), he quit the job after a year. and he said that he do that for his family....good choice actually but he always babling about not enough money, high expenses la and so on so forth. he said that sometimes he quite disappointed with his current job but the decision already made and nothing can he do to rewind back the time.

one thing that u must consider is when you make the decision, there are no single regert in your heart. not only for now, but also in future. ppl always regret for the road not taken......

may the force be with you. every decision has pros and cons, so made up your mind.

don't care attitude works! needy attitude is a turn off.

now everybody... close your eyes and chat these words..

don't care attitude works! needy attitude is a turn off.

do this regularly. and when you are about to confess your overwhelming desire to throw yourself at your crush's feet, remember the chant...


don't care attitude works! needy attitude is a turn off.

CNY trips like many other before me

So, I had finally made it to Cameron Highlands after 17 years last I had step there. Nothing to say much here because I am sure many of you had gone there and know your way and experience more than me. As I make the trip , reached there morning and going back late afternoon. Before even reaching Cameron I needed to make scenic stops to go to the restrooms.  Above picture 1: Ridiculously 3 cute same colored cats whom were mewing quite loudly and is just so cute I wish I can adopt them all. Above picture 2: A lovely sungai that make me wish I can dip in tapi tak sempat sebab nak gi Cameron.  Above picture 3: A ridiculously lovely view from my toilet stall. I doubt there is a more scenic views in a toilet stall anywhere else.  We reached Cameron at 10 am, after departing from KL close to 6 am. Massive jam ok. Memula rase nak patah balik je. Tayar bas tercabut, jam. Kete rusak, jam. Kete kena saman polis, jam. So we didn't make it in time to my husband's favorite br...

New arrival

I have delivered a healthy baby boy! Currently am dealing with all the new stuffs associated with new mother, breastfeeding woes, sleepless night, murderous tendencies at 3am towards little one. So a bit late in updating. In short, I gave birth to this little bundle of cuteness at 5.37pm on the 3rd of August 2012 on my 38th weeks. Unexpected ( somewhat ) delivery ni, as I have to be induced and later gave birth to him via c-section. EDD 14th Aug, and sepatutnye also I was suppose to be induce today instead last week, tapi mende nak jadi. As long as semua selamat. Anyhow will update more later. In cat news, Bobby kena stay at the vet due to lung infection. :( Sedihhh. Hope he gets better soon. Tak tahu how it happened, but it does and hope kucing lain tak kena.
