Nightmare

Yesterday, I had an accident on my way back home. It was funny, how fast people reacts. Within seconds, more than 15 people running out from no where to help. That was what I thought. HELP.

Eventually, these people keep asking me to get out from the car, ask me not to panic. What happened in the next 5 minutes, I called Kevin, Irfan & Leonard, I went to get the triangle indicator from car boot, the tow truck guy came and everyone dispersed. This guy, told me to check my belongings. Insisting to put my bags away and check whether anything was missing.

And what I found out was the shock of my life... my company's laptop was stolen!! For what ever reason it is, I cannot believed that the guys that were trying to "help" was actually thieves!

I almost broke down, some Malays from the neighbor went to chase after them, someone saw them going under the bridge. All my hard work for the pat 1.5 years are in the laptop. What on earth can I do without the laptop? Not even thinking bout the money I have to pay back to my company, but the work, the files, the information in there.....

I am glad that I survive the ordeal. Only small scratches and body ache which spreads around my back and my right arm. I am glad that my purse and my phones are still with me. I am glad that all the expenses to fix my car is covered by insurance. But, the downside is, my laptop, the one that has been keeping me survive the past 1.5 years. 

God, is this the hardship you want me to endure? Is this a test of faith?

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
