I am like so tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven been blogging lately coz I am so very the busy and not to mention tired, that is extremely tired.

I had 3 days of Fire Marshall training last week. Tiring but fun. First day was pretty boring as it all theory and just sitting in the lecture hall listening to Encik Rozita. The 2nd day was really taxing. Had to be under the sun almost the whole day. I gotta grab the photos from our dearest photographer. 3rd day was also fun as they put us into the 'rumah asap' direct translation is the smoke house. Its pitch dark inside and we had to practically feel our way out. I scraped my knee but again it was really fun...... and its also extremely funny for group 4 ( I just wanna LOL when I think about it and their faces....haha) See Group 4 came out only after group 5 and 6 were out. Thats because when they reached the exit they did not pushed or knocked at the door where someone would let us out so they doubled back...not once but twice and in the end they just 'lepak' there sitting on the floor until someone went in and get them.....it was hilarious!!!!

Anyway, I am a qualified Fire Marshall now. I think that this is a really a good training. Not only in terms in the knowledge of fire fighting but also its good for our physical and mental fitness. (P.S. I can do 10 push ups le......gimme face la, for my body 10 push ups at one go is very good liaw) hahaha. Everyone should know what to do in case there is a fire emergency. This course really can equip you.

I feel proud eh!!!!! hahaha

This morning Bi and me went to Shahbandar. We reached there around 6:50 AM ok? I woke up at 6:30 am on a Sunday.....gosh someone go buy 4d liaw.....sure kena one hahaha.

Some photos to share share........eh must show off a little la coz its not always I wake up so early on a Sunday.




Dun play play, I reached the end of the bukit le.....not bad le....hahaha but actually it was Bi who practically forced me to hike all 9 bukits. I was like face black black and walking really slow the whole time. What to do, leg pain le.

Am clearing all the photos that I took with my mobile phone. Getting tired.....more next time....

Comparisons??

Wines wines wines.....that is all that is in my head. Why? Coz my CPA 113 case study is about the wine industry. Trying to prepare all the necessary preparations. I really really really hope that whatever that I had prepared are sufficient.

Yeah yeah.....I should be studying but I am taking a short break.

These few days (I am on leave), I have been on the fb so much (during my breaks la). Watching videos, looking at photos, commenting on people's status. (its so much fun when something is forbidden) I also played fb games......all these activities with Bi constantly harping at me to study and not waste time. He told me that he doesn't understand why I cant do all these after the exam. Like I said, things are more fun if its near exam time. hehehe.......

Anyway, there is another thought on my mind (nothing to do with my exam but I really wanna say here that I hope that I will pass this paper). You know how as humans, we all like to compare. Everything also wanna compare. Lifestyle, money, achievements, families, results, salary, gadgets, looks, hairstyle, diamonds, bags, shoes (I'm a girl ok so of coz those things I talk about is all girlish and stuff)

So why do we compare? I mean if compare already, then you will feel disatified with what you have. Then you will be unhappy. Unhappy already then? Some people are positive about this disatisfaction. They will work hard till they achieve what they want to achieve.

But there are others who are not so positive about this. They then to complain. Complain about life, complain how hard their life are, how this, how that. But they don't do anything about it. They wanna get a better job, let say for an example. But they don't do anything about it. They wont upgrade themselves, they wont even muster up the energy to write a good resume and send it out. They just sit there and complains to anyone and everyone who would listen. These people will just get more and more unhappy about their situation and makes everyone who is around them miserable.

Then there are those people who wanna compare but don't quite measure up. These are the people who puts everyone down, just to make themselves feel good. These people are quite easy to spot. Those who likes to boast and lives in denial. hahaha

So with all these comparisons, you cant help but ask yourself, what is the best? Is it earning big bucks? Owing that Hermes bag? Driving a ferrari/lambo/bently? Being able to buy that huge 12 carats diamond?

The answer that I think is the most suitable (and one that makes the most sense) is that what you think is the best is the best. So it doesn't necessary means that it has to be the best of everything but one that meets your needs.

Its good to have the drive to better yourself, but at some point, you just have to learn to be content.

So set your own needs and requirements. It do not have to be on the same set of needs and requirements of others.

Contentment........

OK...break time is over....back to thinking about wines.....wish me luck!

Marriage

I am supposed to be studying...taking a quick break to blog about what is on my mind now.

Since I am studying, I will normally take quick breaks surfing fb.

I came across a number of things lately. I found out that I have this friend (whom I am not very close and is more than a decade older than I am) is recently divorced. She has been married for 20 odd years. It saddens one to see such a long marriage break down and results in a divorce.

Then I saw another friend who just ROMed a few days ago (and again a friend whom I am not very close to)

So a thought crossed my little mind.

There are a lot of couples who rushed into marriage. These are the couples who will have the toughest time coz they have to adjust to marriage life and its not all that sweet. Marriage is a full time job where you have to constantly work at it so that the marriage will be successful.

Marriage is not all about those big wedding dinner, gorgeous photo shoots, flowers and whatnot. Its about a union between 2 families. YES! 2 families, the bride and the bridegroom are not the only ones uniting in this marriage. You have to bring together 2 family values that may or may not be very different.

There are many aspects to consider.

For me (I think coz I am not married yet), I think that its important not to lose your own identity even after you married. Its easy to revolve your life around your new husband and family and what if (and that is a very big what if), this husband of yours decide that he wanna leave this family that you two have created together? What will happen to me then?

Anything could happen and we have to be prepared for it. We are now woman of the new era. We should be financially independent. We should have lives too, outside of the marriage. We are still human too so we need human contact other than our husbands and children.

I have some other friends who have totally lost their trust in marriages. I think that they must have it very bad in order to lost that trust in other people. I think its sad. But they have to slowly regain their trust in the opposite sex and its not a process that can be rushed.

Ba, I blabbed enough....back to my studies. YAWN!

Bitter Heart by Zee Avi

I am in love with this song by Zee Avi!!!!

Believe it or not, she is from Malaysia, Miri (if I remember correctly) in fact.

Enjoy!

Appearance

How does today's society rate a person's appearance?

These days appearances are everything.

Don't have money? Never just need to look as if you have money.

Don't have a good personality? Also never mind, just pretend pretend lo.

Don't have brains? Never mind also, as long as look intelligent. (provided one keeps their mouth close as well)

We place so much importance on looks and appearances that we tend to overlook other qualities.

As long as you look good, then everything is fine and dandy.

Actions and emotions

Sometimes you wonder, what is it to be human?

These emotions are so over whelming sometimes.

Love, hate, pain, happiness, sorrow, envy, jealousy, anger, there are so many types of emotions and more often than not, we let emotions control or rather let it be the deciding point of our actions.

But also more often than not, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (dunno said by who liaw) and thats not the only thing. What follows your every action are a string of events, just like when you throw a stone into the water, there is a rippling effect.

So whenever anyone makes any decisions, it should be well thought out. Don't let your heart rules you all the time. Don't do or say anything that you might regret.

Movies and nails

I am very the busy o lately. Recently even rushed down to Miri on a working night and came back very the early the next morning for a good friend's wedding dinner......semangat le?

I went to watch the movie by Jack Neo 'Where got ghost?' just now.

There are 3 mini stories. The first 2 are very funny.....the 3rd and final one is a bit sad. It reminded me that we should cherish our parents when they are still here and that they will always look after us, even when they are no longer in this world. I find it touching and I am angry when I see how her sons treated her when she is alive and when after she has passed on.

I also watched 'Up', the latest by Pixar.

They have not disappoint me so far and this animation has once again surpass anything I have watched before. The short film regarding the clouds are also very the touching. (I keep using 'very the' expression)

I really love this movie. I cried 2 times le. Its very much about the feelings of love. From the very first time that Carl met Ellie, it is apparent that Carl is in awe of Ellie. She is so full of energy and so fun to be with. Not forgetting the part where they show their progress from a young couple and the things that they do together till the time that Ellie passed on. The dedication that they have for each other is admirable and that is something that is so hard to find these days. I especially love the scenes about Carl and Ellie when they are old. Its so apparent that they still love each other as much as when they just got married. There are no needs for any dialogue. Just the feelings that it invoke in me.....Just like Wall E. There are no need for dialogue. (Just emphasizing here)

I hope that when I am gray and old, my other half will still love me as much as on our wedding day. That we would hold hands and wait for each other (I think he will be waiting for me since I am the slow one)

Actually I wanted to go watch 'The Final Destination' as well but I heard from my friend that it is very gory (ahh, this is not what is stopping me) The thing is that I heard that its censored! I love all the gory bits, especially love!!!! So I dun wanna the censored part to spoil the whole movie for me so I am gonna wait till the clear copy is released, then I'm gonna get the DVD. Ahhh......am thinking of all the fun that I'm gonna have. (Yeah yeah I am a sicko)

Enough about movies, I recently went to do my nails again. I love decorated nails!

TA DA!

Ribbon on big thumb, cherry pie, pink popsicle, cherry tart and lollipop on my pinky!

Isn't it the cutest?

I was so excited about my nails, that I drove and crashed a party just to show my babe my nails.......I especially love the pink popsicle!!!!!!!!


Cant resist taking photo with my cute cute de nails! (Bi beg to differ and thinks this is wasting time.... Bah....what do guys know about nails anyway)

Hmmm, my eye bag is still quite bad. Sigh! I must must must be consistent in using eye cream.

Oh yeah another thing before I go and shower n find my lovely bed, last weekend right, we went down to Miri and there was this huge scratch on the left front door. Heart Pain!!!!! Sigh, but I tell myself that its ok that I can repaint the whole car but still......heart pain.....kesian subbie

I miss.......

I just read someone's blog about them graduating from Masters!

With all the graduation gowns, certificates, flowers, I missed it.

I wanna take Masters too. No, no, what I mean is that I wanna experience that high a 2nd time. Its like the anti climax you know. Like all that hard work for the past 3 years, its all for this day. I found some old photos taken during the graduation.



I miss it. I miss Perth. I miss the life there. I miss being a student. Broke but so free all the time. I miss Coles, I miss Perth City, I miss Hungry Jacks, I miss Basking Robbins, I miss the weather, I miss the dimsum buffet, I miss my friends. I am missing a lot of things right now.
