As Busy As a Bee

Image
So much to do, so little time.  There's so much I want to achieve. It's obvious that discipline and persistency are the keys. Regardless of how reluctant I am to turn on the computer after working hours, I am still forcing myself to do it. You can't always remain in your comfort zone. Still trying hard to wake up at 630am though, haven't managed to reach the target >.< It's so TOUGH!   The perfect weather to sleep in, the cozy bed...with these factors in place, how to wake up -_-? It's just a short post / a random one for today. Back to work :p I'd like mornings better if they started later.  ~Author Unknown

Happy Events!

Image
3 weeks after the accident and I am almost fully recovered with minor side-effects that hopefully will be gone few months later. I do suffer from dizziness and had difficulties to focus due to cerebral concussion but I believe my brain will be back to its normal state very soon. I did feel a little emotional after the accident but a conversation with the crabbies helped. Especially when I was told that they are glad to be able to speak to me again *sob*. Just realised, it was that close :|. Enough of the accident. Let's talk about something happy. Within two weeks, I attended two weddings and visited a new born. I am so happy for my friends :) I can still remember few years back, Ah Tai told me about this girl he met in the church. Fast forward, 2 years later he's married to the lovely lady. It was a fabulous wedding held in Hotel Maya and also a great gathering with the Lepak Here group (most of us are quite sensitive towards the group name...hahaha).  Visited the

Car accident and the amazing Kelantanese

I am thankful that I can still sit here (albeit uncomfortably :p) to tell you this story. Pardon my poor English though :) On the 26th of October, the Hari Haji weekend, both me and the bf headed to Kota Bharu for our weekend trip. Didn't manage to do much on 26th itself as most of the shops and tourist attractions were closed due to Haji celebration.   We left Kota Bharu for Ipoh the next day around 11am+. While we were traveling on Jalan Kuala Kerai, we passed by a junction with heavy traffic. Out of a sudden, a car rushed out from the side without giving any signals. We lost control and banged into the 2 cars from the opposite direction. I couldn't remember what happened next because I lost conscious. The next thing I know, I was sprawled out on the road. I can feel the pain on my back, tears flowing down my cheek, surrounded by crowd, a kind lady holding umbrella to shield me from the sun and I kept asking "what happened?".  Ambulance came and I was ad

Philippines - Sagada -> Banaue -> Batad (Part 2)

Image
I mentioned in Part 1 , it's taboo to continue blogging about Sagada trip because I was typing the post in hungry ghost month at night time, I was going to blog about the Hanging Coffins. And I am scared of ghost -_-! I find it pantang, so I didn't take any pictures while we were there. All photos (almost) stolen from my travel partner's Facebook :D We have to walk pass the cemetery.  To see the hanging coffins After a night spent in Sagada, we took a bus to Banaue. On the way to Banaue Once we arrived in Banaue, we hired a jeepney to bring us to Batad. But no road leads to Batad village, hence the jeepney dropped us at the Batad junction. Recalling this, I feel like crying. It's a 30-minute walk up to reach the Saddle under scorching sun. It was my fault that I didn't check the itinerary with my travel mate. Hence no sunblock applied, with no hats and a heavy backpack, we walk towards the Saddle. The jeepney driver filling petrol.  The 30-

I failed the battle

Just woke up from a 3-hour nap after taking cold & flu tablets. I felt it coming that's why I drank lots of water and orange juice the past few days. But a day out to the city and a walk under the scorching sun defeated my immune system (plus I have been so lazy that I have not exercise for a long time :() The long walk. It's around 800m (I am just guessing). Not a big deal compare to the 2-3km I had when I was in UK. BUT, not this weather. Left work early, headed to the pharmacy to buy flu tablets. The price difference between drowsy and non-drowsy pills is quite significant. RM 28 for non-drowsy and RM 4.50 for drowsy. RM 4.50 that's it. Afterall, I know I will sleep through the afternoon.  The mess I created in a few hours time.  Feeling much better after the nap and gonna start clearing my pending tasks. That's life, it goes on :| Blame the flu for making me sentimental at this moment -_-. The greatest wealth is health.  ~Virgil

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Image
I have to admit procrastination is my biggest enemy. My to do list is so long that I've lost track of the beginning of the list ~_~. I am supposed to work out my wish list, get pictures printed and create my own so-called wish board but as usual I am procrastinating, since weeks ago. This is more like a vision board but almost the same thing la. You get the idea? Pic grabbed from google image. Even blogging about this took me more than an hour. In between, I was on the bed, in the toilet, brushed my teeth, played my phone... I am continuing this after a 5 minutes phone call (ya, procrastinating again :|). Oh, another half an hour gone, typing this after my shower. I know you feel like whacking me when you read this. I'm doing this to show you how far a procrastinator can go. By the way, that's not the main objective of this entry. I'm typing craps here just to remind myself I still have tons to do. To create a blog post out of nowhere and to let you know I&#

Bike Trip -> Koh Samui

Image
Too lazy  busy to blog recently :D. A quick update with photos of my trip to Koh Samui. We traveled on motorbike from KL -> Hatyai -> Koh Samui -> Butterworth and back to KL again. All within 5 days and 4 nights. It was tiring and my butt was numbed at the end of the trip. Nevertheless, it's an awesome trip! One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.

Philippines - Baguio & Sagada (Part 1)

After we arrived at Clark International airport, we headed to Dau bus terminal and took a bus to Baguio. Baguio. We only spent one night here, it's a stopover to Sagada.  My 1st dinner in Philippines Our accommodation in Baguio. Looks old school & vintage?  Most importantly it's clean and affordable, budget travelers we are o_0 Low brew - San Miguel. I make it a habit to try the local beer whenever I travel to a new country.   Bought these from a roadside stall for RM 1.50 only. The cheapest I've ever had. Breakfast at the hotel - tosilog. Taste like char siew but sweeter, not too bad. Bus to Sagada. Our 2nd bus ride in Philippines. We had so many that I lost count. I think we spent more than 24 hours on bus rides.  Interior of the bus. Old school feel ~ Postcards in a restaurant/kedai runcit in Sagada. Where we had lunch, more like a kedai runcit? My purple fried rice :) Church in Sagada We walk... To
