Love

Thank you for bearing with me when I call while you sleep;
Thank you for letting me include my family into our dates;
Thank you for the brief walk after breakfast;
Thank you for letting me rest on your tummy while you drive;
Thank you for bringing me to spicy meals - it's your company I enjoyed the most;
Thank you for letting me stare at you while you drive, while you walk, while you talk, while you're happy, while you're grumpy, while you scratch your butt, while you burp, while you dig your nose! :p (Am sure you know what to do and what not in the public)

Thank you for the magical moments - being with you I experience the most realistic romance I could not ask for more.

Thank you, Lovey.

Progressing...

Last Saturday wasn't feeling very easy in the pool, didn't dare to make contacts with the kids coz I was too concern bout my inexperience and the parents' watchful eyes. Thought I performed horribly.

Yesterday Dominic warmed me up by helping me to relax with the training. I was more "daring" with the kids. Yus let me assist 4 of kids, besides having to correct their strokes and kickings, settle them down all the times (don't remember myself being so energetic as a kid though!), remember their names... Was very fun. All the little limbs and bodies, innocent words and faces.

There are so many multimedia-related jobs published on The Star. Too bad I'm not looking for a job of that kind now.

Fulfilled my promise, went to CSK to play with Shang Ru. Saw a Michellin baby, ooh so cute!

Sick Meow Again

I feel young again! Why? Coz I keep falling sick, just like when I was a kid. Vomitted yesterday just like I did when I fell sick as a little girl.
Went to the doctor, officially obtained my first gastric med. Dr Ng said weak digestion and stomach's too acidic. Less meat, less floury stuff, less spicy stuff, less soury stuff, woohoo, that almost left me to drinking plain water every meal.

Went marketing, found a couple of inexpensive shorts and shirts, wonderful. Don't know maybe it's me or the weather, my whole shirt was wet, sweat dripped down like it rained, wetting my glasses as well...

Collected the German books and CD today, looking forward to next Monday...

Been in the mood for slow music lately - Marvin Gaye's, Anastacia's (esp. I Belong to You featuring Eros Ramazzotti), Neil Diamond's (esp. September Morning), Eric Clapton's, Hayley Westenra's, Russell Watson's, oh nice!

Google Earth Rocks!

fallen in love with Google Earth, although couldn't locate my house for some unknown reasons.

Always interested to read maps but never too interested in geography (yeah, strange me, just like, someone can be trustworthy but unreliable, errrr....), Google Earth just took me to learn geography from scratch. Started to flip the The Universe, the encyclopedia dad bought when we were young, good old memories, good old smell.

Another short-lived interest? Hehe..

New Year

21 December 2005 Tendered resignation letter. Relationship failed as both parties refused to accomodate each others' requests.

30 December 2005 Last day of work. Nobody from e-net came in but danny, for an hour. how's things gonna work out.

1 January 2006 After CSK, mom wanted a drink at A&W drive-in. The clock strikes 12, we drove to taman jaya lrt and watched fireworks. beautiful 2006 arrived. hope it's a good year for everyone.

5 January 2006 Got called from Yin regarding internship placement! Hoorah. KRPM (Kelab Rahman Putra Malaysia) tentatively.

7 January 2006 First day of Aquatic Star training. Starting new lessons there, evaluations being carried out - blow bubble, hold breath, prone float, supline float, push/glide/kick/with board, submerge, front crawl, breast stroke, back stroke. AV, couldn't go into the water so just helped record the kids' evaluations.

12 January 2006 Received an sms from Lucy yesterday - assignment out of topic! Awful! Paid a visit personally, had doubts clarified, talked to Lucy regarding further education in Education, got some valuable insights. She's just as dedicated as FF. Sigh. Missed 3 classes previously, attended Japanese lesson at IBT.

15 January 2006 Participated in Siemen's charity marathon - my first ever marathon. Went with James, met with Mike, David and Jolin, Mani, Ee Van, Asly and family, Ellen and bf, Anna and soon and little boy. These exploracers has all the staminas that I lack of - I could only fast-walk all thruout the 10km *embarrassed* but nonetheless I had fun alone. Made some new friends along the way, like Katherine, Azman, etc.

Stuck in flood while on the way to KRPM, got so shit scared. Sigh. Traffic broke down as flood started. Went through two puddle of water, knew the water was higher than my tyres but had no choice. Baby kelisa swam in it, as soon as it got out of the puddles, the brake dysfunction for awhile. Shouldn't have came. Within 200m, just below Sierramas, witnessed a Waja almost drowned in the flood. Water level rose from tyre level till half the window. The Sonata ahead of me drove up to the pavement where dividers were planted. Panicked as the rain didn't stop pouring, switched off the engine, quickly plug in the mobile charger that James insisted on leding me (THANK GOD FOR HIS PERSISTENCE), charged phone batt (which completely died earlier on) and tried to contact mom. Rang but no pick up, was darn worried. Called sis, they're shopping. Dad instructed to get out of the vehicle if water level rise. Climbed to the back seat and retrieved my kickboards from the boot, started to pray. Some good samaritans rushed to the Waja to untrap the poor souls in it, motorists around stood on the traffic island to watch, some watched from the bridge. Rain still pouring, waited anxiously in the car, wonder if my time's up, wanted to try to think of the possibilities and to dos if situation worsen but to no avail.

Then miraculously, from cats and dogs it reduced to drizzle. A trailer arrived at the highway turnoff and pulled the waja up to dry land. Hopefully the people are fine and could recover from the nightmare as soon as possible. The trailer later pulled away the damaged divider off the road, traffic ease just a little. Drove slowly against the traffic, hit NKVE, shit tired from the run and all the hassle, dozed off while driving. Finally arrived at home, felt like winning the battle.

Life is fragile. Nothing is enough to keep all living things alive if nature doesn't allow. Not even love... So while we are still capable, live life to the fullest.

16 January 2006 Back and things ache so much, could hardly sit straight and walk without limping. Met up with bro at Petaling Street, had brunch together, sigh. Lovey fetched us to The Curve in the evening, watched Oliver Twist. Did Nancy die in the book? Did Oliver visit the old man in the cell? Oh well, hats off to Charles Dickens! *search thru dusts for the book*

17 January 2006 Watched The Prince and Me. Yeah, fairy tale. Bag full of lies. Have no idea what Mori san is trying to teach. The IBT teaching method's terribly boring and difficult to absorb. Sigh.
