What a wonderful world..

It's sunday and I'm in office.. Sigh... starting to sound like a work addict huh? Gonna be here until evening today, lots of work to do. Well actually, it's just a 2 minutes drive from home. Since, no one at home, might as well just stay in office and do some blogging. *wink.

Went to the beach at Riviera Bay Hotel with Kat last night. The moment I stepped on the beach, it reminds me of Teluk Likas in KK. Missed those times when we don't have to drive so long just to reach the beach.. The city itself is just by the sea. And on the way back from the city to UMS, you can see people sitting by the ocean, fishing and 'pak-toh-ing' along the road. And at night, you can just sit by the sea and be mesmerized by the cool breeze, the sound of the waves crashing to the rocks, and who can ever forget the beautiful symphony of neon lights dancing from KK city. What a sight it was!

Sweeter even are all the times we went to the beautiful islands during holidays and weekends. It doesn't have to be a long term break as these islands are just a 30 minutes boat ride from KK city. It was like heaven to us students! Weekends gathering, friends, coursemates, enjoying the sun, the sea and the beach....hard to believe that we've lost that opportunity. It was one of the best memories during my uni years.

Right now, I couldn't help but anxiously waiting for the day I'll be able to stepped on the soil of KK again. I can feel my heart running back to the Land Below the Wind, to embrace it's beauty and to treasure the simplicity of life of the beautiful people over there... And all this brings me to Louis Armstrong's famous song - "What A Wonderful World"..


WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD (George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah...

*I'm being very sentimental today...

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
