My Austrialia Trip (Day 1)

2009-04-05T03:15:00.000-07:00

Well...... I think i has been 2 weeks since I came back from my Australia trip. Really wanna thank Airasia for making my dream comes true. I never tot i could end up in Australia!.... hehhe and I just love Sydney.... i feel so peaceful there!

We flew to KL on 10/3/2009 10am..... stop in KL for 9 hrs.... flight took off to GC at 945pm..... 8 hours flight to GC! This is my longest flight so far! Can sleep well... just starring at my friend who is sleeping on 2 airasia seat (but she only apid for a seat!) hahhaha.... dunno why I can't sleep... maybe too excited..... hahhahah reach GC at 7.40am (plus the time difference)..... our flight to sydney (using Virgin Blue) was about 10am...... we finally ended in Sydney about 1230pm.....My friend sister in law came and pick us up at the airport...... guess wat, we did not take bath for 1.5 day already... yet still so fresh.... maybe cos of the weather there. Though it was summer.... but i can feel the cool wind blowing... freezing.... just nice... !!

First destination.... nope... not to the hotel ...... we went to Sydney fish market! hahhaha... eating shashimi!!! hhahaha

After the fish market, we went to a supermarket..... bought peaches and also cheese as snack. We also bought 6 bottles of red wine as the supermarket offerred 30% discount for 6 bottles of red wine. Our intention was to have my fren sis in law and her bf to come to our hotel room to drink wine and play poker tomorrow night!

Finally, we get to go to check in our hotel. Westin Sydney! Yeah!! such a nice hotel.

We were told that we will caught into bad traffic jam if we do not leave that area by 5pm. No choice, we can only check in and drop our bags and put on our contact lens. And we have to leave the hotel. OMG.... we did not take bath for 2 days.... but , no worries, we did smell and also we are still fresh though we did not sleep well on the plane last night. :)

Next destination.... BONDI beach..... this is a beach where u can actually see ppl nuke... hahhaha.... so good yea.... but then i din get the chance to see...... cos its a bit late... ppl start to pack and go home... anyway, i still get to go to this beach hahahha

Dinner time... we had Korean food...... nice and special..... not too bad. After that, they brought us to Opera House.... to see the night view......

Finally...... we get back to the hotel. Now, we really felt tired. Take a quick bath and then i jump onto my bed..... nice.... prepared to sleep.... at this time, my fren and I actually heard the toilet flushed...... i was so scared.... my fren wore her specs and look into the toilet (our toilet is see through on, with a piece of glass and blind)....... i said "wat are u doin".... she answered... "look and see if anyone inside...." i said, dun care la... just sleep..... but i am real scared.... my fren slept already.... and my eyes still wide opened..... sigh...... i heard for the 2nd time while my fren slept.... but i think 2 hrs later, i also slept already... cos too tired..... sigh.......

That was my first day..... to be continued for 2nd day

This year Vacation/Trip

2009-02-26T06:44:00.000-08:00

Hmmm... when i recall back, the last time I went for vacation was way back in May 2007........ oh my gosh!! So long... why ? why? why?..... The main reasons was because I just changed my company in 2008 and I dare not take any long leave as I was still not too sure when is my off peak period that allows me to take long leave...... basically, leave that i took in 2008 was just leave to attend frens' wedding as ji mui and funeral.... ya, thats all!! Oh ya,... a day of medical leave...... workaholic yea?? hhahahah ...

Finally, the day has come,.. and its pretty soon! I am please to tell you that I AM GOING TO GOLD COAST and SDYNEY!!! When?? on 11/3/2009!!!! YEAH!!!!! can't wait to go!!!! i am counting down on it.... actually i pallned this trip with one of my close fren a year back when airasia offered zero fare!!! hhahaha.... will tell u more when I come back...

Another trip that I have planned will be somewhere in Nov 09... I am GOING TO CAMBODIA!!!! In fact, this is not a vacation... but it's a MISSIONARY TRIP..... it's a MEDICAL MISSIONARY TRIP organised by a church.... I was so touch by my manager when he showed me the vedio he took while he was in the trip last year. Wanted to experience the thing myself... we are expected to go to the province and teach the children, share with them the bible thoughts and help them to cut haiR... hahhah need to beef up my hair cutting skill........

Well, these are the 2 trips I planned for this year.... :)

September 2008

2008-10-03T00:01:00.000-07:00

September 2008 was the busiest month for this year. Why I say so?? Hmm… my dealine submission of budget is this month and also my frens wedding, like a marathon…….Let me recall……..

Basically, for the whole month (nope… starting from July), I was working every Sat & Sun and every night, I go home earliest is after 930pm. Listen to this already feel tired for me dy, right???

31/8/08 – One of my close fren got married and the wedding reception for Miri is during that night….. of cos some of the frens will come back from other places and therefore, we have one tea session (in view of 1/9/08 is a public holiday)……..

2/9/08 – One of my close fren wedding and I am involved in the morning ceremony… of cos as a ji mui… the chief ji mui!! Arranged a series of games to paly during the day time…. Then follow her to her husband house and then to church and then back to her own hse…… wow…. So tiring man! Whole day gone le. Then at night, of cos me “pan liang liang,” attending the wedding dinner la… but guess wat, its time to revenge la….. the buddy asked me to drink red wine…. One go…2 glasses (it makes me thought of another wedding dinner of my fren, Alicia’s wedding. I got the same treatment too). I got drunk…. But thank GOD, I reached home before I feel dizzy

8/9/08 – My fren came back from Aus, guess wat, she is getting married as well…… I am the bride maid of hers….. today I bumped into her during lunch time and she actually invited me and other frens to her house for dinner… to discuss about her wedding…… so I have to stop work at 7 pm and go straight to her house for dinner……

12/9/08 – Celebrating my frens’ birthday…. Had dinner at Miri Café, and then proceed to frens hse for cake cutting….. actually I have another date at night with fren for Karaoke…. Fren came back from KL…. Have to entertain a bit….. so can only go back at about 1 am….

13/9/08 – My fren (who came back from Australia) wedding ceremony in Miri. I was invited for lunch….. we will am really busy with work…. Though it’s a sat, I still come in office as early as 7 am to work. Leave office about 1145 to go to my fren wedding lunch…. Stayed there for 15 mins… and then I have to rush to town to pick a ex colleague of mine…. To go to a house warming lunch together….. the route is from my office to Taman Yakin, then Tmn Yakin to town and town to Interhill, where the hse warming lunch is…. Guess wat I also stayed there 15 mins and back to office. On the way back…. I drop my car at this Lutong car wash, near my office for car wash and polish….. then I go back to work…. At about 2 pm….. after a while, I need to go and do my nails (as a bridemaid, of cos I need to be perfect also, so have to colour my nails lo). I actually have to reach the wedding reception venue at about 530 to help up with ushering….. but my car only finish polish and also my nail finish coloured and 530. I have not choice but to take a quick bath and change into my dinner suit… then I make up in the car…. This is my first experience, making up in a car…. Seen this in movie le… and now tat I really experience myself…. I can really understand those busy ppl in HK, how come they have no time, and even make up in the train….

14/9/08 – ha, today is the day. My fren wedding… I am the bridemaid….. guess wat, I woke up at 330 am (yes 330 am!) to go to her hse for make up…. (for all the ladies out there, pls dun select a date which is considered a very very good date where u need to queue up for make up….. u will have to wake up at 330 am !!). My fren as I finished make up at about 430 am… and we can even go back to sleep.. so we just chit chat and do whatever we need……. I follow the wedding car to Seria and the whole ceremony ended at 330 pm….. I was like fainted when I finally get to the hotel. But I can only rest up to 430pm cos I have to wake up and go to help my fren up with changing her clothes etc etc (not easy to be a bridemaids ya)….. and then I finally get to sit down on the dinner table.. and enjoy the wedding dinner for the second time (one in Miri last night, one in Kuala Belait).Whole event ended at ard 1130 and I really need to get back to rest…. Cos tomolo need to go back to Miri early… work at 8am!!!

15/9/08 – 21/9/08 – this is the busiest week….need to finalise my budget and have a final meeting with the Partners to endorse my budget figures… Due to Hari Raya, this year submission was 8 days ahead of the normal deadline. We out to submit on 22/9 rather than 30/9…. On 20/9 itself, basically my office turned into “book factory”. Basically whole dept of mine help to print, photocopy, punch whole, arrange, bind and pack the budget (Special thanks to all my colleague)…. But I am rather happy, cos I know it finally come to the end of my busy period! Of cos in between the days, my frens from aus and KL do ask me to go out to do some catch up…. No choice, need to entertain them, back to office for work after dinner….

That is basically how busy am I during Sept 2008!! Budgetssssssssssssss and weddingsssssssss

What on earth am I here for?

2008-07-12T04:07:00.000-07:00

I bet this question came across to each and everyone's mind. But how many of us got the answer to this question?

About 2 years ago, one of my friends gave a book to me.... called "THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE" by RICK WARREN.

This book consists of 40 chapter and the reader is encouraged to read a chapter a day. I read Chapter 1 and that's all. Well, to non-christian believer like me, this book is very difficult to understand and it won't catch your attention. I should also blame myself as I am not a gal that is really into reading books. I guess, all this while, I only read 3 - 4 books.......pai seh pai seh....

2 years after, my friend asked me if I am interested to join a course organised by a church. Well, all this while, i really wish i can join christian. To me, kids that grows in Christian family is always well behave. Maybe because since I am young, I mixed around with lots of Christian friend and many of my Christian friends are really knowledgeable and well behave.

At first, I felt a bit reluctant to join the course. This is because I dun wan to have aggressive people who always push me. So i rejected. However, I still see the flyer given to me...... when i read carefully, I saw the book "THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE" printed on it. This really caught my attention. Therefore finally I decided to join....partly also, my boss keeps asking me to join..... :p

My class is actually every Friday, 8pm to 11pm. It will end for 7 weeks.... to date, i have attended 2 classes...... yesterday class really makes me think that series of events happened for the past 2 weeks brought me to that class..... for the past 2 weeks, there are some "unreasonable" colleagues ane makes me real angry...... feel like crying..... but yesterday, I learnt during our discussion..... love those who hates u and bless those who curse u.... this really makes me feel better.....maybe i should not angry at them, but just cool myself...... like what is stated in the Bible .... Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus said the greatest commands are to love GOD and your neighbour and including your enemy....this is really my take away during my class yesterday..... so from today onwards, I sould always practice love those who hates u and bless those who curse u.......

From today onwards, I would share what I learn every class in my blog... so shall wait for next week class and see what is my take away.....

Farewell

2008-07-01T06:15:00.001-07:00

This colleague of mine is quite special. The first day he joined my ex firm, my ex manager asked me to bring him out to client office to audit. Guess wat, the first client he goes to is Marriott!!! We are very lucky in the sense tat we got a very good treatment from them. We get to eat buffet everyday for lunch at his restaurant.... i really loves the cheese cake man.... !! and this cute colleague of mine even ask me, do we get all this free food everyday??!!?? What a innocent kid... :p well, from tat day onwards, he is being assigned to assist me in most of my audit..... well, at very first, i dun really like him. I complain him here and there, up and down. The thing i complain most is... his handwriting.....!!! Well, Mr. N, can u pls write better next time??!!!??? After few audits, and after a longer period of time being together, i found that he is a good assistant cum colleague. We used to work at client place til very late... as late as 2pm in the morning..... i remembered when my ex manager said, "all the assistant must not go home until the senior goes home" and his expression was "yes.... (*pause to think*) urrrhhhh.... , erm.... ok". He urh arr urrhh arrhh there cos he knows i definitely work til very late and he has to stay back cos of me.... hahhaha.... well, i did not torture him, i did ask him to go home when its about 10pm... but then he don't wan. He stayed back together with me, worried me, being a gal alone in the office til late night...... i should really say thank you to him... and also i am really touched by wat he has done to me all this while..... As time goes by, we are not just colleague, not just senoir and junior (btw he is my junior in secondary school) but i think a close fren... hahah yam cha kaki..... well, its time for him to go his own way (*on the very first day we meet, he already make known to the whole world tat he is going back to Australia for his PR in 2 years time*).

Tonight is the night! The night to farewell!.... arranged a farewell dinner for him and i guess he is touched ...... the most happy is we ended our "first meet" in Marriott together with the same audit team..... Ms J and Mr N.... of cos there is an alien, Mr B....... 4 of us... hahhaha

**yummy cheese cake**

Credit card usage

2008-06-29T07:12:00.000-07:00

Credit card usage..... hmmm...... I open this for discussion. Well, some of the ppl think using credit is very dangerous... cos as if using future money... which I think is true. U are not paying the goodies u buying instantly. U can defer ur payment til one mth earlier, or even if u are very good, u can manage in such a way tat u only need to make the payment one and half mth later...... but, how sure are u tat u will have the amt of money to repay when the time comes?? This is rather dangerous. Most of my fren, I heard, really "overuse" their credit card and they are actually in net liability position. Have a some of money in fixed deposit and on the other hand, having a debt under credit card....... but, do u know that credit card interest is actually higher than fixed deposit interest?? ...... so please amke sure, u withdraw ur fixed deposit money to repay ur credit card debt if there is any......

For me, I use credit card for insurance, hand phone charges and also petrol... I think this is good enough..... recently, one of my credit card point reaches 29,000 points..... hmmm..... i am thinking of wat gifts to redeem la...... actually credit card gift are real hard to redeem...... need lots of point. My point now is not too much, but not too less..... but i still need about 7,000 points... hahah thinking of redeem Philips Micro Hifi Player.... with RM393 + 36,000 points..... u think worth ma???

Friend....

2008-06-23T06:09:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you ever face such a prob.... when u have a close fren, u tend to share everything with him/her..... u will sms him/her everyday, though u guys are working in the same company and seeing each other daily..... cos u have just too much to share...... too much thoughts in common..... However, u will feel tat there is a period, when u guys start to feel the distance..... no longer so close... no more sms, hardly talk, harly share thoughts.... even in MSN, when u see each other, nothing to talk......

When this condition arise, no worries..... just voice up.... just be open and talk to ur fren again.... this is wat i did! I actually tell my fren I felt the distance... and my fren agreed too!.... then we start to think back wat happened... and we both agreed tat, though we hardly talk to each other, we are still very very good fren... and still have many thoughts in common..... Guess wat?? after we sopke with open heart, we managed to turn back to good fren. We even date each other out to talk heart to heart with a jug of beer! I really thank God for my courage to brought the issue up! I regain back a good and wonderful fren!

WHPH

2008-06-22T21:44:00.000-07:00

Wat is WHPH?, well, if u talk to ppl working in my company, they will definitely know. It stands for WORK HARD PLAY HARD....

well, my company really promoting work life balance..... so Company is giving us half day off to do some team building activities every 3rd Friday of the month...., isn't it good?? Normally, there are team/dept who organise activities during this WHPH afternoon....Last time, whenever I see other department colleague go to join the activities, I would be sad seeing myself staying back to do work...... so sad...... this year, maybe cos most of my colleague are young and energetic, I always follow them to the activities.... and i found it real happy to have some fun and games.... even if we have to go back to office to work (not a must, but its up to individual work load) you will feel very fun and relax.... hahah..... Let see, i have actually attended 2 WHPH activities so far... one in May and another one was last Fri (June WHPH).... hehhehe May one was dodge ball.... quite a fun one... but last friday one was just great. We had this treasure hunt...... sweating and fun.... hahha then we have this kind of give us a clue.... hahha... u really cannot imagine how can an gesture of an elephant, spiderman, ice cream, ear mask, baseball can pass down to be different thing.... i really laughed my head off man.... hahhaha....

Life is too fragile.....

2008-05-13T02:21:00.000-07:00

I never thought of “What is life” and “What is the purpose of life?”. Last week, it was just a shock to me. A series of incident happened that make me flash back to what is life all about and have I done enough for me and my loved ones.

1/5 - Labour Day. Of course this is a happy day for ppl like us… the kuli kang…. Celebrate my grandm 82th birthday together with my extended family members i.e. aunties and uncles….cousins… Long time din take extended family picture. Tonight, dad requested us to take as he needs to e mail the pic to one of his relative in China whom he and mum visited last week….. *SNAP* here we go… the memories….

2/5 - Normal working day as usual

3/5 - Saturday….. nothing much happened

4/5 - Sunday… as usual… nothing much happened… normal…. But parents going to this tua pek kong parade…. One of the contingent…so I have made up my mind to have dinner with my bro and sis in law….. about 5pm, sis in law called…. Telling me her uncle passed away…. You must be wondering, my sis in law uncle passed away…. Anything to do with me?? The relationship between my sis in law family member and I are very unique… we are close to each other…. I can even join her family trip to places like rainforest even without my bro, sis in law or my parents around….so u can roughly know how close are we…. And also her uncle used to be very very sick (sudden) since Oct 2007 and he was admitted to hospital in Kuch since then. Thank God, he recovered end on Dec 2007 and managed to come back to Miri to rest during end of Dec 2007. My family paid him a visit after he came back. When I saw him tat time, I was really shocked….. he used to be medium big in size and he turned out to be half his size before! His hair turned white and fall…. He was sitting on the wheel chair and gave us a weak smile “Can still recognize uncle ma” my eyes turn into red…. Holding back my tears… I hold his hand and said, of cos I can still recognize you uncle…. After that day… I din visit him… but do hear the news from my sis in law saying tat he recovered steadily…. And he manage to drive…. I was so happy to hear that… during CNY, my family visited his house and his family also came to my house…. This time, he really turn back into the “old” uncle that I used to know….. just tat he cant stand for long…. After CNY, his son decided to bring him back to Kuch to do normal check up…. And out of sudden, the doc told him tat he had blood cancer…. And requested him to undergo certain treatment….. he has no choice but to go… after the first treatment, he felt he cant stand it anymore…. And the doc gave up…. And he just have to discharged from the hospital and stay at a rented hse in kuch to seek for other help…. His sons done all they can and also looked for Chinese medicine…. But, in the end, he still have to end his life…. I was so sad to see this happened!

5/5 - Monday morning, gonna work… not really in the mood as still feel the sarrow….go home a bit early today after work to go to sis in law uncle;s hse to pay last respect…. Funeral service in church the next day… I have made up my mind to go as well tomorrow….take few hrs leave…. Stay at the hse til quite late…. All this while, I don’t dare to go near the coffin and look into in… but this round, I made it…. I starred at the coffin and my tears just rolled down automatically….. seeing the wife, I felt so sorry for her… luckily all his sons are old enough to take care of themselves and the mum…. All working and 2 of the sons married already….
About 11pm, still at the house…. Dad handphone suddenly rings…. It normally don’t ring so late at night….. it’s a bad news…. One of my uncle being admitted to the hospital and is in very critical situation (this uncle is still young, aged 50 years old)…. After my dad finish talking over the phone…. He walked towards us (me, my bro, my sis in law and my mum) and tell us the news. My dad shaked for a while and my bro managed to hold his hand asked what happened to you. My dad just blured and nearly fainted and fall down. At that time, me who was standing in front of him quickly hug him…. I saw his eyes turn into white colour and giggles I shouted “pls don’t” my mind is blank… I really dunno what to do but just shout and pray no one take away my dad… my mum was so scared that she shouted and put her hand into my dad mouth… luckily there were many ppl ard and all of the come near us and help to save my dad….. finally my dad regained his conscious….. we stayed at the hse til about 1 am to wait til my dad regained his energy…. Dad din go to the hospital as he is not fit to go. Informed my relatives who were in the hospital my dad condition and unable to make it to the hospital. Cant sleep well whole night…. Scared….

6/5 - Woke up early….when I see my dad, he says nothing about my uncle. For me, no new means good new. So as normal, change into my office wear and and decided to go to office earlier as I need to go out for a while to attend my sis in law uncle funeral. Just when I start my car engine and wanted to go to the office, my bro came out and told me my uncle passed away….. it was really a shock to me… I cant believed it…. 5 days back, we still sat together to celebrate my grandma birthday….. really cant believe it… life is just too fragile!!!

So those series of incident really make me things….. why life so fragile….. how can I live my live to fullest…and one thing for sure… I never knew my dad is getting old after all this incident….. I think I have not done enough to take care of him…. I really need to do something…. Young ppl can die also….. so I really need to look into what is life…. What are the things in life that I really want to do….Frankly speaking, I have contributed quite a massive of my time in studies and work so far… these will no longer be first in my life… too tired with work so far……

Technical Committee Meeting... TCM!

2008-04-30T02:17:00.000-07:00

One of my challenging jobs in my current position in presenting my financial figures to my JV Partners. Ever since in join the Company, I have been told of this. Well, the first meeting that I had with Partners back in January 2008, it’s just merely sitting in…. watching my predecessor to present the figures… Wow… how nice right?? Enjoying the coffee of coffee bean… listening to the whole bunch of engineers talking… talk in their languague…. Hahha technical jargon! I actually dun seems to understand at all and dun bother to listen… Guess what, my predecessor was smart… he managed to skip his part of presentation saying the figures are almost the same with last quarter…. Trend also the same and hence the explanation also the same… so no need to present! I was like …”Huh? I am thinking of tapping your presentation skill during this time cos I know the next quarter, it’s a brand new year, Q1 2008 and I have to present on my own… and now you are skipping the presentation??? My goodness….

Finally, my nightmare comes…today is the day! I need to present in front of the Partners!! Well, how should I present? Should I read everything on the slide?? Should I read the figures out?? Orr…. Argh…. All sort of questions is in my mind…. Cos never seen the presentation before. And I really dunno what is their expectation! How detail they want it to be…. Sigh…. I have done all the homework…. Jot down all the important points and even write up my speech!! Imagine tat…. !!

Yesterday, went home late as I wan to have a last discussion with my team leader before the meeting tomolo… waited til 7pm, he finally comes out from a meeting with the Partners (the same Partners he and I going to meet again tomolo for a different meeting). The moment he step into my room he said “Those who will be in TCM tomolo sure kena whacked!) In my mind…. “Si Lo… this is my first meeting, and kena whacked?” After the discussion with team lead… I went off home…. At home… dun even bother to look at it again… cos I think, whatever will happen will happen no matter what…. So I watch TV and sleep…

Today!… I can’t sleep well…. Woke up at 5 am…. Too worried…. So I quickly go to the car and get the file… have a look at the slides again and again…. Then 630… I start to dress up… of cos in more formal office wear, with my jacket on… have been a while since the last time I wears the jacket in KPMG (luckily, still can fit in… no fat fat… hahha…)…. Hmmm.. putting on my contact lens (first time in shell wear contact lens to work) and also put on some eyes shadow and lipsticks… normally I dun put on for work… ok,… then I go…. Reach office 7 am…. Do the final homework…. Meeting starts at 8 am…

First see all the ppl present, I am already nervous….. my turn now… presenting to N partner….. bla bla bla…. Everyone seems to listening and understanding well…. Hhahah and got question for me somemore… manage to answer… some answer by the engineers la… heheheh

2 hrs later…. Presenting to PxxB now… hmm… this is more hectic and more slides to be presented….. and when it comes to a part when I need to pronounce UNBILICAL… I just can say it out properly.. It took me the third try to say it out… then one of the engineer (hmmm… quite a good looking guy) laughed! Hahha…. Me myself also laugh… hahha… well, tat make the situation better I guess…. Then I quickly run through the remaining slide… hahha then another one… UNBILICAL… hahha this time, I get it… cos not nervous anymore… hahaha….

Phew, everything goes smoothly….. I din kena whacked…. Just some of the project engineers kena whacked….

Sometimes, I really wonder… Shell, such a big company, need to act like PxxB and N’s slave! Why?? Well wat I can say its just because of the stupid P Act enacted in Malaysia, saying P owns all the hydrocarbon underneath the land of Malaysia…. Hahha… so we depends on P – holding company of PxxB to work in Malaysia lo… sigh…. Wat a XXX the govt is doing?? Protecting the WANTAN?

Swimming

2008-04-26T05:55:00.000-07:00

I remembered about 3 years back, when I had my company annual dinner in KK, all my colleagues swim happily in Sutera Harbour Hotel pool. Guess what i do???? Looking after their properties (wallet, purse, etc.....) So sad and yet angry..... why can't I swim? 2 reasons... first, since small, parents said, dangerous, so dun let me learn swimming.... 2nd reasons... such a bad body figures, of cos dun dare to wear swim suit la....... how to swim??
Then, 1 year back, I went to Mulu with my fren... again I dunno how to swim and then i missed the fun... but then this time, I manage to play the water.... a bit satisfied though can't swim....
So I told myself.... I must learn how to swim.... til last year, I finally............. bought myself a swimming suit... hahha of cos not a sexy one... very conservative one...... telling myself, need to look for a trainer.....but... til now still cant get....
Last month, early in the morning, I went with a fren to Marriott to swim... yeah... of cos i went with a gal... she taught me how to swim and start learning kicking water and floating.... hai..... very sad... i really dunno how to float..... can anyone tells me why cant i float?? really.....???? Then in the evening, I fall sick.... dunno why... mum scolded.... swim so early in the morning.....decided to give up....
But last 2 weeks, a fren of mine who doesnt know how to swim approached me and told me tat she finally able to swim... she got the swimming gear tat can help me.. so i dated her last week... end up, I cant go cos last minute, got things to do.... this week, dated her again.... but then ... due to my physical problem, can;t swim. Next week, she needs to go back Brunei for her CPA study leave, cant swim again.....
Sometimes, I really wonder... should I give up?? Really wonder
