People around me seem very into photographing. During CNY I went to my friend's friend's house together with 2 of my friends. There was a pair of twins who were into photographing. I think they were taking the opportunity to sharpern their skills.

As I was grabbing some of the photos from Facebook, I got a chance to look back at the photos in my collection. I observed myself in the photos especially those that was taken without me knowing it. I looked at myself, my expression and thanked those who took them. If not I wouldn't be able to see my expression when I talk, when I laugh, when I'm focus and when I'm lost.

This led me to feel thankful to those who pointed out my weaknesses, my reactions towards certain situations, my goodness, my successes and my foolishness. Without these comments, I wouldn't be who I am now. I wouldnt be able to learn and grow with confident. Thank God for all of you who had impacted my life, and inspired me to move on!

Another Closed Friend's Wed

I think there were too many cameras so all of us stared at different direction. I will not foret the whistle man. That camera man who wore a whistle to get ppl's attention when he is videoing.

SWEET :)

It's a time for us to gather together.

Haha... What is the fan doing there? It spoilt our picture!

AGJ 8368

This morning, I sent a friend to Public Bank located at Jalan Pasir Puteh. I had something to do over there as well. I parked my car right in front of PB. When I was done, i went back to my car and saw this <<<<<-----

A Myvi was blocking my way. I honked and honked for about 7 minutes, nobody came out. A lot of people stuck their heads out to see what happened. But not the owner.

After I honked a few more times, the owner came out from the bank. She walked so slowly as if she bought the road. When she came out, she did not show any guiltiness. She even took her time to check her co-driver side to see if there's any scratch! Oh man, I was getting so impatient. This aunty was fortunate enough, if it's not me, she will kena scold very badly! Sigh...

Happy or Grumpy?

It's a happy day
And I thank God for the weather
It's a happy day
I'm living it for my Lord
It's a happy day
Things are gonna get better
Living each day
By the promises
In God's Word

It's a grumpy day
And I can't stand the weather
It's a grumpy day
Living it for myself
It's a grumpy day
And things aren't gonna get better
Living each day
With the Bible on my shelf


I find it so difficult to sing this song on Wednesdays. Not every Wednesday of course. Some times some of my colleagues will choose this song. Imagine when your mood is so bad, and you are to sing this song. Well, you can choose to be quiet. Some how, it makes me feel weird. But this song also reminds me to thank God and to praise God no matter how my mood is. In all seasons, praise the Lord. The world is still beautiful and I trust that God will help each of us through especially when we are facing problems, be it relationships, work, or health.

Who Is My Neighbour?

Yesterday was my turn to share during our weekly devotion. Days before yesterday I already struggled as I did not know what to share. My own devotion with God is still not consistent. Until Wednesday I still couldn't find any topic. On Monday, I received Our Daily Journey with Jesus. My sister's copy. Since she is not back yet, I opened it and flipped it through.

I had been praying for inspiration, praying for the right topic to share. Finally "Who Is My Neighbour?" caught my attention. I read through and thought it was quite OK and I supposed I will be able to share something out of it. The references that were given was from Luke 10:29- 38. It was about the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Jesus started to tell this parable when a legal expert asked Jesus "Who is my neighbour?" in verse 29. The story goes like this.

There was a Jewish man who was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho and he was attacked by bandits. The bandits stripped him of his clothes and money, beat him up and left him half dead by the roadside. Then a Jewish priest came along, he was going to the temple; but when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side of the road. (Both of them were Jews). Then a despised Samaritan came along and when he saw the Jewish man, he felt deep pity. The Samaritan soothed his wound with medicine and bandage them. He took the man to an inn and paid the innkeeper and told him to take care of him. He even told the innkeeper that if what he had paid was not enough, he will pay again when he's back again.

Then Jesus asked the legal expert after telling the story. He asked,"Which of these 3 would you say was a neighbour to the man who was attacked by bandits." Of course the legal expert's answer was the same as us, the one who showed him mercy.

Being a neighbour has nothing to do with how near we live to others, or how similar our religion or race. Being a neighbour depends simply on our humanity- and on need. Anyone you or I come in contact with who has a need is our neighbour. And to love our neighbour means to care enough to reach out and help in anyway we can.- extracted from the devotional material

The Jewish priest may have saved many souls for the Lord when he preached. However, he couldn't see the immediate need of the Jewish man. They were of the same race but yet, he did not bother to lend his hand to him. How sad it is when we are on the same boat and yet, we keep fighting for attention, keep arguing, keep blaming each other and can't see our weaknesses.
( This thought came when I was driving my sis to school on Wednesday morning).

I posted 2 questions before I ended my sharing.
1. Are we gonna wait for people to help us (like the legal expert who asked who is my neighbour)
or are we gonna equip ourselves to help others?
2. Are we gonna stay here blaming each other or are we gonna move on to a higher ground to
help even more people around us?

After I reached my office that day, I found out that 2 of my colleagues had an argument. my boss was telling me about that matter and my eyes were teary. I felt so disappointed and I was thinking when is that gonna end. I do not know how to express my feelings even now. I just felt upset maybe. Or I was touched knowing that God chose the right topic for me to share. maybe too...

Well, I hope that God has already ministered to them. I can only keep praying for them.

I had a strange Wednesday. After sending sister to school and picked a new colleague from there. We started our journey to Canning Garden. We were early and we did not have keys. So we gotta wait outside. I thought since I've a company, why not we sit at that part. We each had a book. However, we ended up chatting. We were not only chatting among ourselves. There was another old lady meditating there. When she noticed us, she talked to us. She asked us about our work and she knew one of my colleagues.


After awhile, that old lady went home. Then came another old lady, said that she's working for government as a counselor. She said some times people will call to ask them where to get help when they have difficult children. She asked about our programme. We explained to her and gave her our contact number. She also asked me where to find those holiday camps for kids. And I introduce her to our church Holiday Club. I gave her my contact number and hopefully she will call me. I did not get to get her phone number as she kept talking.


It was just a visit to the park and we got to advertise our center and our church. She asked me how our church compound is so big and she also said that our church is a rich church. I should sit at the park more often :) haha...

Wonderfully, Fearfully & Purposefully Made

Oh my, it's been an emotional day for me! A day to face myself and to face God. I do not really know how to start the story. I just know that I want to write something about it.

I had a roller coaster year of 2008. I guess it had not been a smooth one. There were a lot of tests and challenges which required me to make the right choices, to have self- control, to handle stress in the right manner and to know that God will never forsake me. I failed almost all of them.

I started my holidays since 18th Dec 2008 until 1st Jan 2009. Before I started my holidays, I was already in bad shape. I was exhausted and I was fed- up with a lot of things. Basically I was fed- up with everything. I shared with one of my colleagues as she knew best of what I'd been going through. I'd gotten assurance from her but I was still living in anger. I couldn't forgive and I struggled. I tried to put on masks in front of everyone. I appeared to be fine. Well, if I hid myself neat enough. Sigh...

Due to my anger and frustration, I started to drift away from God. At one point, I felt that I was not qualified to continue this journey with God. I kinda decided not to attend church anymore. I was irritable at home and at work. I tried to avoid that person, I tried to flee from the existing problem. Since school holidays started, I had not been spending time with God. I did not pray, I did not do anything that is related to God besides being there during Christmas for the sake of it. Due to my problem, I was very afraid to meet people especially people that I know. Funny enough! *Shrug* I was too tired that I even thought of letting go of my relationship with KM. I felt that I really couldn't handle. (This will be another post.)

What did I do during my holidays? My sister was back from Uni. We went shopping, squash, badminton, movies and jogging. I went out almost everyday. I went out in the morning and back in the evening. At night I hang out with old friends as well. I was busy attending dinners and luncheons. That helped me to have no time to think about my problems. I played squash almost 2- 3 times a week, badminton once a week, even twice a day, jogging in the morning and squash in the afternoon. I kept myself real busy!

Since October/ November 2008, I joined a friend and his gang for badminton. We play once a week. I got myself tension because I did not know them. The environment was new to me, the people were new to me and I seldom meet my friend. So I looked afraid. Yes, I was afraid. Sigh... We kept in touch through MSN most of the time. Those who know me well, through phone or MSN, I can really "talk" or I can express myself better. So he found me weird and he had been "complaining" to me that he did not know when I'm being real and when I'm not. His comment bothered me very much. I wasn't really happy about it. *EGO*
He had been "pushing" me to be myself. This phrase "be myself" caught me to think if I'm really being MYSELF. Half way, I quited. I did not want to think about it anymore.

Today, I attended a women conference organised by the W2W. Well, though I planned to go since my ex-colleague had been encouraging me to, I delayed the registration because I did not want to commit. I was thinking that I may have something on during that time. Some how, on 31st Dec 2008, I was reminded of the conference not by anybody, but by my mind.

I had a tough time today actually. I finally faced the problem and discovered that when I ran away from God, He had been speaking to me through my friend. I heard it but I couldn't identify that it was from Him until today. This is not the first time I went through this topic "Know Who You Are". But it still hit me hard. Aunt Cindy mentioned that it's okay to be yourself, everyone is wonderfully, fearfully and purposefully made. Each one of us is worthy. Each one of us is unique. I need to take a deep breath to accept this truth.

God really knows me so well that when I'd decided to conform to the world, He sent His people to tell/ remind me with His Word, Romans 12: 2. I did not attend the watch night service, still I received this verse and today, AGAIN, I was reminded not to be conformed to this world. Before this, God was using my friend to speak to me "to be myself", that is to change my mindset and do not worry, just "be myself". I'm dumb enough that I did not get it. I did not expect God to speak through this friend. *Teary eyes*

I'm not passive, at least at the moment. I was motivated and I hope that I will not disappoint God and myself through out this whole year. Few days ago, the same friend sent me a phrase in Chinese, he doesn't know Chinese so he wanted me to explain that phrase to him. After being translated, it goes something like this, "When EQ drops to the bottom, it's better to turn the frustrations/ anger to strength". I think it was another reminder from God, asking me to change the way I think and to transfer the energy for anger/ frustrations to strength for some thing more meaningful, at least use the energy to overcome it instead of wasting time and energy on frustrations and anger. Though, I am not regret of how I'd spent my holidays, at least I learned squash and made new friends. I rested well. It's time to go back to the battle field.

Let The Earth Stand Still For Awhile

We are walking too fast that some times we miss out something precious and meaningful. When we keep missing things that are meaningful, the further we walk, the more tired we feel. The more tired we are the more demotivated we are.

It's the time of the year. It's time to reflect on the journey of 2008. It's time to stop and think instead of keep walking. Let the earth stand still for a moment.

I'm too far...

Love from a Special One

I feel very cool because Wan keen has never ever drawn an angry face on me. Well, I guess partly is because she doesn't like it when I'm angry. Very often, I open my arms to hug her when she cries. She will also look forward to hug me when she is sad.

Can you see the opened arms in the picture? This is exactly what happen almost every time she's being scolded except for that few days. She was scolded by me and I did not bother to hug her after that.

I remember there was one day, I went out from early in the morning until 8pm. Her tuition was until 7.30pm. When she got home, she kept asking my mum where did I go. She was looking for me. At times she will cry if I go outstation without informing her earlier.

There's another time, I went Penang for a course. I told her I'll be staying in a flat and she will stay at home with dad and mum. She refused to accept the fact. It took me some time to convince her. And I gotta assure her that I'll go home after I've finish the course. Hmm...It's good to know that she will miss me and that she loves me. I'll never forget that she was the bridge between me and God. And because of her, me, Wan Sian and my mum invited Christ into our lives. That's why, people always remind each other that God put somebody in our lives for a reason. A reason to be discovered. So keep discovering with patience, kindness and gratefulness.

Sorry "er jie"

Yeah, obviously this was drawn by wan keen. If you can see the words below, it says,"sorry, er jie." The girl with polka dot skirt is Wan Keen and the one in blue is me. Haha...

Why she drew this? Well, I think it's because I scolded her one day. For what reason, I forgot. She was so upset that she drew this. But she did not show me. Hmm...I laughed like mad when my mum showed me this picture.

This picture also reminded me that I have not been patient lately. I've been very moody and and irritable. I think my moodiness is due to work and also some other thing. Hmm... I was having great stress from work. Again, I was like walking on the glass. I'm very afraid and do not know when that person will lie to me again. I've not been relying on God.

Hmm... Now that I'm on leave until next year, I wanna enjoy my holidays to the fullest and hopefully it'll be enough for me to kick start the brand new year of 2009.

I must talk to Wan Keen tomorrow so that she will not feel tense. hmm...

Turned Turtle

Yesterday, I went lunch with 2 of my other colleagues. My colleague was driving and I was sitting next to her. The other colleague was sitting at the back. We were chatting happily. Suddenly, I AIYO very loudly that I scared them both. I saw a car turned turtle. At first I was thinking why were the wheels of this car faccing the sky. I was a bit slow in figuring it out. When I realised it I just AIYO and directed their attention to that car. They scolded me for scarring them. One of them thought our car hit the front car. Haha...

It was still red light. Yeah, we were at the traffic light. So we were still observing the car. The driver was no more there. We only saw one side of the slippers and there was nobody near the car. But there were a few guys standing under the tree, talking about how the car turned turtle. I doubt that they were related to this accident.

We were still at the traffic light. We were also trying to think how the car turned turtle and we were wondering where was the driver. There wasn't police nor ambulance. So we were really curious, me especially. I became one of the Super8 club member. Haha...

This accident happened near Hospital Fatimah, after the traffic light from Fatimah. This accident stimulated my boring day. Hahaha...

Bolt

Yes, we watched BOLT last night. Yeah, I was kinda touched because Rhino the hamster is so encouraging, Mitten the cat helps BOLT to realise that what he has been doing/ experiencing are not real. Bolt being a dog is loyal and risks his life to save Penny the girl, his person according to Bolt.

Bolt used to think that he has super power. He is lost one day and he tries to use his super power and etc in real life. When he finally meets Mitten the cat, he realises that he doesn't have any power, he thinks that he's useless. But Rhino the hamster encourages him because their enemy, Mitten the cat, is caught. So they have to save her in order to complete their mission which is to find the green-eyed man.

After Rhino's encouragement, he makes up his mind to save Mitten. When they are there, they use strategy to save Mitten. They are noticed by the guard and the one who hit the guard is actually Rhino the hamster. This scene really inspired me. Some times, those who think highly of themselves like Bolt, are not able to do anything great. However, those with positive attitude and humble, can some times do great things.

There's another scene. Bolt used to think that he has Super Bark. His so called gift is not able to use appropriately until the day when he saves Penny with his Super Bark. This comforted me too. God gives each of us gifts. Some times we wonder if God really give us any gifts. Some times, we feel small too because we are not able to perform accordingly. That scene reminded me of God's timing. God will surely make use of our talents, our gifts and every part of us in HIS TIME. IN HIS TIME, He will make all things beautiful. We just need to be patient and humble so that we will be able to discern when God wants us to use our talents. Like Bolt, he is able to discern and he makes use of his bark at the right place and at the right time. He saves the girl!!!

In HIS TIME...

Haha... Maybe when comes to these places, there aren't any new kinda food. I really find myself being so Autistic when I eat out. How about you? Do you order almost the same thing when you eat out? Haha... I wonder how many people do! Haha...

Forgive...Press On!

I'm in a mess because I've not forgiven some body. I really need to forgive this person who annoys me so much who hurt me so much who refuses to give me chance to talk who always protects self who always gives excuses when makes mistakes who tries to manipulate people who puts people into difficult situation who is inconsiderate who blames everyone else besides self and ...

Sigh... I felt sorry to find so many faults in this person. I am not as good too. I will not forget what this person had done as what had happened alarmed me to be careful. I can't put my trust yet I can't live my life like that, i think. I do not know what to do with this person and I do not wanna hear anything from this person and I just do not know when is it real and when is it not. I'm in such a difficult position. I'm really cold and I know this person feels my coldness. It is no point to clear whatever that had happened because this person will not admit, all I can get will be excuses that tries to hide the truth. What is the truth? Frankly, nobody knows. I guess this person doesn't know the truth either because there were too many lies that may have confused him/herself too.

Sigh... I tried to be nice. However, my effort slipped when I received excuses and when I wasn't given a chance to talk. It became a mess when I tried to find a way out. I wanted to teach, I wanted to help but to this person all those were pointing out mistakes. Even if those were mistakes, learn la. The sky won't fall when mistakes happen. The more defense, the more I feel tedious.

Some body told me that some times some people are put into our life for a reason, reason that we do not know. I was thinking, yeah, I really do not know the reason, I can only depend on God's wisdom. Maybe this person is here to show how ugly my character is; to show how much more i need to learn to forgive and to be patient. Sigh... PRESS ON!!!

Transformed

If I'm not mistaken, it was last Friday. I played badminton with a bunch of unknown people. Well, not totally. At least I know one of them before I went. I was quite afraid to go as I did not know my friend's friends. Though, I went.

I went there and I sat at a corner. I did not initiate any talk or introduction with anybody. Even my friend also did not introduce me to his friends. To him, all of us are young people so we can settle it ourselves. I sat at a corner not long, then two gals walked towards my direction. One of them looked familiar. I couldn't really recall her name. She was shocked to see me there too.

We could recognise each other. We learned Taekwando together and she was from MGS. I found it hard to recall things that we'd gone through together. I remember we had much fun last time but I just couldn't recall how. We started to talk and then she and her friend went to play. So, I sat there and waited as we only rented one court. Hmm... That day I was quite tired and sleepy. I think it was because I had not recovered from the trip as well as all the cleaning work at work.

After around 10 minutes or less. She invited me to play together. We played. She saw me so quiet then she asked me why I became so shy. According to her, I used to be very brave and initiated chat with people quite often. We knew each other when I was Form 5 and she was Form 4. I asked her more about me and I am so different now. I'm very afraid of people now and I am not that brave anymore.

What have made me change? I really wonder why I became so fearful. Or is it because of the world is changing or is it because of the many problems that I encountered at work? Hmm...

While we were waiting for our bus at LCCT.

The Hectics

Here goes my story of my Sabah trip...

I left Ipoh on Thursday at 8 a. m. We took a bus down to the LCCT and checked in at 12. 15 p. m. Then we went for our lunch. The food at the Food Garden located at LCCT sucked. I ordered Tom Yam noodles and my colleagues ordered one seafood soup noodles and one Nyonya soup noodles. The difference between their noodles was one with chopped chili and one without it. My colleague was so unhappy about it. She ordered another chicken rice which tasted bad too. We were too hungry that we ate all that we ordered.



After lunch we went on board. It took us 21/2 hours to reach Sabah, most people know about it. Well, the flight was smooth and we reached there safely. We reached the airport around 6 p. m. We took a cab to the place that we were supposed to stay called Kompleks Tabung Haji. Our room were at level 2 and the room number is 215. I remember it very well because that was the worse room that I had ever stayed before. The interior orang asli place is better than that room!



Once we got into the room, my colleagues started to cough and the other started to sneeze. I was fine because I do not have that kind of allergy. Hmm... The room smelled a kind, paint smell maybe. Once we got in we heard water running, so one of them checked out the wash room. The toilet was spoilt, the water kept running. Then slowly we checked out the other things like the cupboard, it was dusty; the towels got stain on it and the curtain was dusty too. The room cost about rm180.

These were still small matter. The most terrible thing was the noise from no where. It seemed from the floor above and it seemed not. There was some shifting furniture sound in the room once we were in the room. The sound never stopped even after I called to complain. After dinner we showered and were ready to sleep, the sound was still there. I took sleeping pill because I knew for sure that I would not be able to sleep. I thought my colleague was asleep but in fact she couldn't sleep the whole night. I slept and I was up on and off though.

My colleague complained that the sound got louder around 1 a. m. plus until 5 a.m plus only became softer. I was up around 6. 30 a. m. She said she was sure that that room was not "clean", in fact I already thought of that when I was getting ready to sleep. I felt creepy too. I experienced it before and I dared not tell my colleague because it was her first trip to conference. I kept to myself and I hinted Kok Ming about the room problem. He comforted me by saying maybe there were people working up there or shifting things. I got sms from Vincent too and he gave me a verse which I had forgotten what. I was comforted and I had peace knowing that they will pray for us. I requested them to pray that we can change room or even hotel. I prayed too that God will give me peace and God reminded me of the incident when I was in Penang. I thought of what Uncle Jimmy told before too that I can't do anything to chase them off as the room is not mine. Slowly I slept.

Friday was the first day of our conference and I thank God that I slept quite well. At least I was able to get a better quality rest after all the rush from place to place. The conference was held at The Pacific Sutera Harbour. It's around 10 minutes drive from Kompleks Tabung Haji. So during lunch hour, I went to the lobby to check if there were people checking out so that we could get two rooms there. Guess what, there was a bus of people checking out. Quickly, I went to see my colleague and I told her about it. Then she went with me to check. After taking a long time, there were 2 rooms available. I was joyous. So after all the procedures were done, we took a cab back to the complex, we packed and then checked out. It took us about 20 minutes to finish all those. It was so rush and once we were back, the conference just started. The timing was so good.

Yeah, finally we got a better conditioned room and a more peaceful room. The room was so quiet and everything was so nice and comfortable. My roommate was the most joyous one I guess. She was able to sleep or at least got some peaceful rest on Friday. Hehe... Though, I still took sleeping pill because I did not want to waste my energy on sleepless nights. I was there to learn not to feel tired. At night, we had a dinner. There were very interesting performances, the food wasn't good but acceptable. It was held at Meligan Sutera. Oh well, one day gone.

The second day of conference was the most terrible day for most of us. There were lousy speakers. Sigh... we seemed wasted the time there that day. The workshops ended at 5p. m. We decided to go to the Filipino market and dinner out. Nothing much there. The most interesting things that I saw were those music instruments. It's hard to look for souvenirs to me. I just found it hard to and I did not really have the mood and energy to shop for things, after all, I was there to work not to tour.

Our flight changed time to 3. 45 p.m. Sigh... It was supposed to be at 8 a. m. Our bus was supposed to be 4. 10 p. m. But because of the flight, we were force to take the 8 p.m. bus. However, I should thank God for this delayed as I got to have an adventure with my friend, Ennie. She attended the conference too. She is a speech pathologist. In the morning, it was Sunday morning, she called to inform me that she would be going to a each called Karambunai. She said her friend would drop a car for her to drive there. She asked if I'm interested. Whereas, my colleagues would be going to another market. I was kind of lazy to go there.

I went to the beach with Ennie. Her friend brought us to a coffee shop to enjoy some famous noodles which are different from the Peninsula. We had some seafood noodles and it tasted OK to me only. But the soup was very sweet and the seafood was very fresh. Well, I'm not a fish and prawn person. Hehe... We started our journey to the beach at 10 a. m.. Ennie already knew part of the way to the beach so we followed the info that she got from her friend. Some how we got lost, so I went down to ask for direction. The first direction given wasn't clear, then we asked for another one from a petrol station. His direction was right. We were so happy. By the time we reached Karambunai is already near 12p.m. Phew! We were supposed to check out the hotel at 12.30 p. m.

Though we reached the resort, we went to the wrong place. We went to the Lagoon side which there are water sports. Then we drove back out and went to the golf side, then only we found the beach. Phew, we quickly snapped some pictures of the beach and then left. We spent about 10 minutes at the beach only. It's really a very beautiful beach.

We rushed back to the hotel, packed and then checked out. I managed to take a shower before I left the hotel too. Haha... My colleague gave me a "tak tahan" look. So rush still shower. Haha... We checked out and we visited a special school called Sri Mengasih. I heard of this school since 2 years ago. Then we went to the airport, had our lunch and then boarded.

When we reached LCCT was already 6p.m., we were not able to catch the 6p.m. bus, so we had out dinner at McDonald. I ordered Mcflurry only because I was still full. After placing my order, that cashier asked me to get from the ice cream counter with my receipt. So I went. I gave the guy my receipt and I told him that I want Mudpie. He asked me what was that and he even asked me how to make it. I was like, Huh? How I know how to make? I felt very ticklish but I did not laugh. That guy called his supervisor and she taught him. I went back to my seat and I laughed while telling them what had happened. They laughed too. He was new I bet.

Finally, we were on board again at 8p.m. The bus stopped at KLIA and we started journey back at 8.30p.m. I slept almost all the way. No quality rest as I was using drug to control myself. Sleeping on board was even more tiring. We reached Ipoh at midnight. Once reached home I slept without drugs. The next day needed to work. Sigh... I nearly couldn't wake up. I felt so tired. We gotta go back to continue the cleaning work. Whole Monday, my colleague and I felt so dizzy and we kept looking at the time.

At night still gotta go for that finale. I really couldn't make it. When work dismissed, I went to my car and I opened the door with my key. You know what happened? When I was in the car, I was looking up and down for my key. I stopped my colleague from locking the gate as I might have left it in the office. I was thinking how did I opened the car door. After looking into my bag then my car door. Oh man! I hung my keys there. My colleagues laughed like mad. So I decided not to go for that dinner. I did not have energy. I was exhausted and I slept at 9 p.m. that night. The next day I had fever until now. Sigh... Some more being misunderstood that I did not turn up was because of Kok Ming could not make it. Sad me. haha

I disappeared for a week. I did not get to meet some of the familiar faces this week and I am still very tired and not well after coming back to Ipoh. Maybe it is because of the rush and hectic days in Sabah with less water intake and poor quality rest.

It wasn't a fruitful trip I would say. Let me line the story when I get back the energy and inspiration soon, I hope.
