Was kidnapped, went to East Coast for R & R while awaiting ransom. Hehehe. It is so cool, hanging out with friends on a thursday evening. My Sohabahs
Thousands of lights across the horizon at twilight. I swear I thought I was looking at another city just out there. But they are all ships. Amazing.
Love these impromptu outings. Makes life spicy and exciting.
Due for a proper outing this saturday. ;)

KL trip continued
KL is really bustling. We went around via the monorail and LRT. It is rather easy to get around KL. Everywhere is connected by train. Oh and the food! Food glorious food!. Almost everything is halal. We ate and ate and never skipped a meal. I regretted not buying the hot dog at GV. Not that it probably taste any different from other kind of hot dogs but it is an experience, right? I gained weight after 5 days. I can't refuse the food because I just love the food.
Oh and you know the traffic lights are cute. Okie, interesting not cute. You know in Singapore, the green man just stands there and blinks but in KL the green man that signals padestrians to cross actually walks and it will speed up to show that the time is running out. It is cool.
By the third day of shopping, I felt really tired and my legs were hurting. My thighs and calf muscles never had to work so hard. Had to check out of the comfy 4 star Chorus Hotel and we extended our stay till 3 pm beause we wanted to take a nap. We never made full use of the facilities or the things in our hotel rooms. I discovered there were extra pillows in one of the cupboards half hour before checking out. How silly!
Moved off to Maluri Hotel in Cheras. I was initially sad having to move away from KLCC and i was crushed to arrive in Maluri because Cheras is a suburb and it looks so residential without any form of shopping or fun. It looked so ulu. The only saving grace was the Jaya Jasco nearby. Not too bad and we had such a good meal at Shakey's. My sis and bro in law went for their business meeting at PGRM so I decided to watch TV and sleep early. I was very very tired. The aircon was very dry in our room and i was very dehydrated. My skin had started to peel and I had to wake up a few times in the night to get a drink.
Next morning ate nasi lemak at the road side and we went to Menara PGRM again. Played SmartMoney. It is a very interesting game. I was hooked on it. It is a simple board game but the objective is to achieve more passive income than active income. I have always thought about money for my future and this game made me think even further. Everybody who is working should play this game. It is a great financial advisor.
I had the chance to shop around at Jaya Jasco. They had problems with credit cards cos MayBank was upgrading the system. So they had to charge manually. I was fascinated but it was very troublesome. Oh Malysians service is not too great and they are slow. Not very efficient but they make up for it by being very polite. Somehow when people are polite it makes up for everything else. Singaporeans sales staff are very efficient and all but soemtimes they are so not polite and that is a turn off.
That night I went for the leadership seminar in place of my bro in law cos he went to York, England for work. I was told to dress formally but purposely did not bring any clothes suitable for the seminar. So what I wore that night was mostly bought in KL. The only thing from home is my brooch and watch. Hehee. New top, pants, scarves, handbags and shoes and don't forget the new makeup! If I had more time and options i probably would have bought a new brooch and watch too. Seminar was very motivating but a little over the top. Fell asleep at the end but I was convinced about the Network 21 system. The first thing that hit me when I went in the auditorium was that people were very excited. They are from Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia and they believe in this sytem. Then the idea is not to get rich quick but to work to build up the Amway business and get rich via the business. I was sold. I want to retire early and spend more time with my family and do my hobbies. The more I thought about it, the lesser my scepticism became. Seriously, I like teaching and I love my students but the amount of work I put in now is going to make me burn out in a few years time. If I do get married and have children, no way am I going to put in this much effort. And looking at my sis and her family and their struggle not to make ends meet but the struggle to look after their own children and spend time with them makes me resolved that there has to be a better way. Plus, I know that in order to live this lifestyle that I have now when I am older, I need to make more money and I dont think money will come in via conventional work.
last day in KL and one more seminar in the morning. Phenomenal experience. Think i would like to go for the next weekend seminar.
Okie, that's it. Running out of steam so I had better end here. Adios...

5 days 4 nights in KL
Juts came home from KL. Fun trip but tiring. Went on Wednesday morning via AEROLINE. A bus company that offers a plush ride to KL and straight to Chorus hotel. The seats in the bus are nice and clean. Very comfy. High deck too. Plus they have a cabin crew that serves food and drink. A tad expensive though. Chorus hotel is a 4 star hotel. Very near to KLCC. Walking distance and next to Avenue K. I had a room all to myself which is cool.
On the first day, we went around KLCC immediately after we checked in. we spent a few hours just going round and round the mall and window shop. Met a few of my relatives there. We were so surprised to see the other. At night we went Chinatown. Wonderful bargains but since it is our first night in KL I did not buy a lot of thinsg because dont want to run out of $. But really, a lot of cool and branded stuff at a cheaper price and the haggling is just fantastic.
Woke up the next day to eat breakfast at A&W. Then we went to Masjid India to look for scarves and my mum's stuff. It is not as fun as I would expect. The scarves look very normal. We were trying to find Italian donatella scarves but they are pretty ex in KL. One shop sold it cheaper but we didn't know. We fell in love with 2 yellow scarves and tried to haggle. She wanted $18 each and would not even lower a single red cent. So she told us to take a walk first and see if her price are not good. So we did and well her words are true so we came back to jher but what a rude shock we had. She refused to sell us the scarves. I was so insulted and embarrassed. My sister was mad. My bro in law was disgusted. Seriously, we were willing to buy her scarves at her price and she turned us down. And she wouldn't even give us any kind of sales service. She practically ignored us and said "not selling". Tolak rezeki betul pompuan ni. Adake boleh buat niaga macam gitu. Macam mana lah orang Melayu tak maju. Tak tahu nak pikat pelanggan. Entahlah, susah nak cakap...Anyway it was usch a contrast to Chinatown. The stall owners in Chinatown were enticing us to buy theirs goods and treating customers like kings and queens and were giving us good prices. All I know is that next time I go to KL and buy scarves, I am never buying from that woman.
Went to Berjaya Times Square next. I wanted to go there to ride the roller coaster. We had lunch at Kenny Rogers first. Was very full by the time we dinished eating. We went to teh theme park to check it out. It is rather interesting and we saw how thrilling teh roller coaster ride is. I was quaking in my sandals at the thought of riding teh roller coaster. But we were too full and i know I would throw up my very delicious black pepper kenny rogers chicken if i were to ride it then. So we decided to pray and shop first. There are 8 floors and up to 5 floors were occupied. I finally found a pair of shoes i liked and bought another pair of sandals. The show shop is called VAMP and tehy are setting up a store in Sg soon. By the time we finished shopping we were too tired to do the theme park. So we had to skip it and we had to rest at Secret Recipe and pig out on cakes. We had hazelnut cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake and Tiramisu. How very sinful. hehehe.
Went back to hotel for some reprieve and then went back to KLCC for more shopping. Bought Rm230 worth of makeup from M.A.C because my sis said I have to wear makeup in order to attract guys. I thought "why not? Makeup is fun. Dont have to attract guys though. They should look at me beyond my physical beauty or defects". Had a fast makeover session too. Had to shop for pants but the prices were ridiculous. We stopped at Coffee Bean for a light snack and drinks. Maybe teh makeup really works plus glossy lips and all, the guy at the counter practically was trying to catch my eye and smiling at me. hehehe. My sis and bro in law can't stop teasing me about it. We chatted until it was time to watch BAtman Returns at 1145. Very cool show.
2 days in KL so far. Very fun and exciting. But I think the standards of living is so much higher than in Singapore. A lot of thinsg are costly. Food is costly for Malaysians I feel. Oh and the sun...thought I would be running away from softball training but the sun was so much hotter than in Singapore. The humidity was low and you hardly perspire but we did get dehydrated easily. And so drying. On the second day, my face became red like sunburnt. I had to use so much sunblock and mosturizer. And the pollution is terrible. A walk along the road made my face itch after that. And I was sneezing away due to the dust particles. I am that sensitive to dust and pollution.
Anyway it is 112 am and i need to sleep. Will continue the rest of my journey another time.

high on frappe
Had dinner and dessert with TKAMAZONians today. Its been awhile since we met. Well, there were 5 of us of the original 15 today. Or well...14 now since 1 has left her earthly shell. Anyway, 5 of us but we had a good time anyways. 4 of us teachers. It is a wonder we did not talk our internal auditor to death about students and school. Missed the rest though. I especially wanted to see Azian cos she should be 6 months pregnant now but she cant make it. She is the first amongst us to get preggy and we don't want to miss all her developments and all.
All of us have grown somewhat. F still quirky but suffering from dementia. Hehhee. And she is jealous that we have all started blogging and she isn't. hehehe. Ain wordly wise now that she came back from her Eu trip and still garang and jetlag. Lijun has let her hair grow long and an NPCC officer. Suxian telling us the ups and downs of her life and job. We are all so grown up now and it was just 13 years ago we all met as NPCC cadets in TKGS.
TCC desert is to die for. The lava chocolate is fantastic and the ambience great. Should patronise TCC more often.

2 more weeks of hols!
Wow, time sure fly past. i have only 2 more weeks of hols and not a scrap of work has been done. Oklah, did some work but have lots more to do. Actually, it has not been much of a holiday. went to school everyday for the past 2 weeks. Softball training, remedials, personal coaching, cleaning up desk and history room. Of course did more than just that. Went out some. This week I went out with Ruf and Nurul to Sentosa. Had a good time talking about 'vision-mission men' and of course our lives while soaking in the lagoon. Nurul's and my stories are mostly about students, school, volunteer work, students and school and students. We gathered we dont have much of a life outside school. How sad. It is more interesting to listen to Ruf's stuff cos it has no students in it. Hehehee.
Went out with Khamilia and Hazelin too. Being teachers we talk mostly about, well guess ... yeah students and school mostly... but we did talk about other stuff too. It was fun. Should do more of these meeting up more often.
I finally started to exercise. As of today, I went jogging twice and skating once. Taking a break today. My back and leg muscles hurts. Guess they are in shock ... suddenly their services are needed again. Heheheh.
Nothing eventful happened so far. Well, can't wait for my KL trip next week.

Of Minahs and Mat motor
There was a wedding in one of the blks here yesterday. Quite a big party cos they had a celebration on Saturday as well. I didn't really take note of it, because it is after all wedding season, until the bride and groom was ushered in their car with an entourage of at least 20 motor bikes. They were very noisy, revving up their engines and blasting their horns. To make a statement, no doubt. No grudge against them abt that. It is after all a happy occassion and they just want to celebrate the fact that their bro/sista are married. I understand the clannish attitude.
But, something turned me off. It was the minahs sitting perched behind the guys on the motorbikes. I have nothing against minahs .. really nothing, but I do not like it when girls wear our malay traditional costumes and ride a motorbike. Why? Because it is indecent! I mean, the traditional costumes, be it the kebaya or the baju kurung, are a symbol of a girl/woman that is sweet and decent and alluring. Now, when u wear these costumes and u want to sit on a motorbike, it means u have to hitch the long skirt up thigh high...it ruins the image of what a malay girl in the malay traditional dress suppose to epitomise.
Of course the smarter ones wear the skirt with slits, so they dont have to hitch it up. But still... I may be a ferring but i do know something ... The slit is there as a form of peek-a-boo to "now u see my ankles, and a little bit of my calf, now u don't". It is sexy, alluring, a mystery. So, when u wear a skirt with a long slit and u sit on the motorbike, u expose an entire leg all the way up... what mystery is there left? U lose the appeal, it becomes too blatant, grotesque, cheap even. Same goes with the traditional costume, the kebaya and the baju kurung, the long sleeves and long skirt is to provide mystery, illusion. what is left exposed or seemingly exposed is just enough to tantalise. It leaves a trail of wonderment, exquisite elegance BUT it is all spoilt by riding a motorbike!
I don't claim to be an expert but this is what I believe. To don on the malay traditional dress or any traditional dress, one must be a lady. Elegant and poised. What that is covered by the dress should remained covered. Don't go spoil it. To ladies who think it is liberating and sexy to hitch up their skirts and ride motorbikes, think again. Men, honourable men, do not think it is sexy .. I am no prude but I think when sexy becomes too blatant it becomes cheap.
I am not sorry if I offended anyone because what I saw offended me. I am entitled to my own beliefs, values and principles. Judge me if you will but I will not change them.

holiday blues - got hit on the head
Well..I did it. After much cajoling from my dear sohabah, I went and got this blog set up. It took some time, but at least the skeleton is up. I wanted to wait until it is all perfect before I post a blog but I forsee that this blog is a project that will never finish. I will probably change it every now and then. So, watch this space for more new stuff in time to come.
It is the holidays and I am blue. I went shopping today and I didn't really enjoy it. I was in a reverie much of the time. I was thinking about my life. A dangerous place to go because the last time I thought about my life like this, I was in my quarterlife crisis. I just hope that I won't go into a second crisis ever again in my life. Going through a crisis was very painful, depressing and lonely. Seriously, if I didn't have faith, family and good friends, I probably have gone into a full blown depression and God knows what I might have done. That was 4 years ago. Good news is, I know I can prevent myself from going into a crisis. Cos I figured out why I am feeling lousy. I can't say it here, perhaps I will never tell anyone the reason. It is too personal. But, I know how to remedy the situation. I have to follow my dreams, even though I may be alone while pursuing them.
Why did I not think of it before? Perhaps getting hit on the head by a softball woke me up. Lucky it was thrown by a sec 1 girl. If it was thrown by one of the boys, I'd probably have a concussion. Yupps, softball are not soft and if you insist it is so, you need a hit on the head by one. Hey, my head still hurts k...
forgive me for being a bit philosophical these days... one needs to look at life and question it from time to time. It doesn't help that I have been reading some philosophical books lately. Yesterday I read Z for Zachariah and A Brave New World. Today I read The Orange Girl by Jostein Gaardner. All pretty much philosophical and question certain theories and assumptions of life. I was even doing a parallel with St Exepury's The Little Prince while reading The Orange Girl. These are good books to read, maybe a bit heavy for some but very good books indeed. Certainly, I look at life differently each time I read these books.
Life, Oh life... If I were at the brink of the universe and I had to choose to live my life for a short span on earth only to be wrenched back from it, never to return or to say no, thank you because I cannot except the rules... I would choose the short span on earth.
The dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it HOPE. - the orange girl
