Turning Point 转折点

Penang Accompanied Bin to Penang for his 3D2N work trip last week. My initial plan was to meet up with some friends but since we stayed in Batu Ferringhi, it's quite far from mainland Penang. Furthermore, it's a trip with his boss, so we better be good (joking joking🤣), we actually had free and easy time but we were tied up with work, ended up spending some time working in the hotel room (on the computer, not what you think it is, I know what you are thinking) .  Stopped by the Floating Mosque (Masjid Terapung) on the way to botanical garden. Visited Penang botanical garden and saw many interesting trees and plants. It's a relaxing and cooling place, will definitely pay another visit. One of the reasons we are here - to check out the cannon ball tree. Can you guess the name of this tree? Leave me a comment, coffee or tea on me if you get it right😏 (hint: a type of food) Visited this high rating (on Google) café called Wheelers for breakfast. Coffee and breakfast are sur...

1-Apr-2013 I woke up at 645am this morning hoping for a great start of the week. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out too well. I was telling myself you can choose to dwell in negative thoughts or just buck up and move on. So after calming down for 5 minutes, I lifted my own spirit and proceed to right the wrong. I should really stop making myself miserable -_- 2-Apr-2013 I am having migraine again. I've been having headache almost everyday since last week. I had one of the worse last Thursday, struggled through a meeting, traffic jam and back home. Ended up vomiting. I am having it now, again! I suspect it's the aftereffect of the accident I had in Oct last year. My life is badly affected by this, gonna see a TCM later. I hope he can fix it.

I've been slacking. Have been feeling reluctant to on my PC after working hours since months ago. Maybe age is catching up or maybe I am just too lazy. Didn't really have the mood to write a proper blog post and I just realised because I was trying hard not to reveal my real emotions. I used to blurt about everything and poor English/grammar mistake is never my concern but I am not sure since when I started to stop myself from being too emotional. Soooooo, in year 2013, I just want to be myself when I blog. That means I am free to use lazy/busy as execuses of not blogging, I can write long wordy posts without any pictures, I can be as emo as I want, I can curse as much as I like, I can go with random posts when I am not in the mood etc etc I know it's a tad late but better late than never :). I have been slacking in updating my blog but it's not like anyone is reading. *knock* Hello? Anyone there? A recap on year 2012: January  It wasn't a pleasant mon...

appreciation [əˌpriːʃɪˈeɪʃən -sɪ-] 1. thanks or gratitude 2. assessment of the true worth or value of persons or things I find it hard to write a sentimental random post but it used to be my strength to blab and crap. What has aging done to me?! #lookingforexcuses Referring to the title, this post is about appreciation (duh...) but I don't know where to start :| You will be surprised to know that this post has been in draft stage for more than 5 days. I thought of giving up but I have so much to tell! I've been through some down times but this time around I didn't have the chance to be in the emo stage for too long becauseeeeeee someone was there to pull me out of it. My family didn't question much and no pressure given on decisions that I've made maybe they are trying to ignore me...hahaha . And the crabbies, no questions asked when they sensed that I have no intention to do any story-telling. I thank them for the respect and trust. I would say in a...

I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. What's ahead is unknown but at least I need to do my part for my country. 11:47am: Arrived at Plaza Rakyat station, on the bridge. I had the urge to cry looking at the crowd. We are here for the same purpose - we love our country, we are here to fight for a better future. Why can't our dear government understand this? Who wouldn't want to spend their weekend more comfortably? Instead of stuck in a crowd, sweating, shouting and under the hot sun? 12:22pm: Having a quick brunch at Petaling Street. Stuffed ourselves full to ensure we have enough energy to walk on. We were told someone passed away in Petaling Street. (It was confirmed later a guy passed away in the early morning due to heart issue, RIP). RM 4 for fried mee hoon & a piece of yong tau fu. Taste bland, I didn't even chew much. Just for the sake of feeling my stomach. 1pm: We walked from Jln Sultan towards Dataran Merdeka. The crowd were sho...

I wanted to blog since last Monday but I don't know what to  write  blog about. It's not like my life is bored yes, in fact it is :|  Anyway, whatever that comes to my mind now will be penned down. Just for future reference, lol. A couple of weeks ago, I made a decision that closed a chapter in my life. It's a tough one. Went through hard times and emotional downturn that I wouldn't want to mention or even recall. Nevertheless, lessons learned. I am glad that my family and bf are here for me. As for now, I am taking a short break to regain my health - hence the participation of yoga classes, morning jog and swimming. Unsure about the future yet and has no clear direction but I keep telling myself "just move on!". On a happier note, I will be doing something that I like most for the next few weeks. I won't reveal much now as I don't want to jinx it :D. If you are my blog reader since years ago, you should know ;)! Batad, Philippines Rock b...

It's time to change my blog title as well as the layout but I am just too lazy to do anything. Life has been ... the same. Work -> Home -> Work -> Home -> Work ... It's so bored that I wish the cycle doesn't have to be repeated. I haven't been feeling too well for the past 2 weeks. It's hard for me to accept that I can't change the past because I am still feeling sad about certain things that have happened. The pain is just so extreme that, sometimes I wish I have never knew and met certain people in my life. It's easier to forgive than forget. The scars are just incurable. I find it hard to trust people now. I am just not me anymore.

on mind now. It has been almost 6 months since I am back from London. That means I have stopped traveling for almost 6 months (Penang, Melaka and Tioman doesn't count =p). While I was taking my shower half an hour ago, this thought suddenly came to my mind - I should not leave my backpack aside for too long. My heart is pounding quicker than usual when I thought of this because I know well that what comes next will be totally crazy! I am not going to reveal anything yet but I have drafted out a very brief plan. It's crazy but definitely possible if I want it to happen. This is definitely something I am looking forward to =)

Forgive me for not blogging properly. With the return of my "best friends", I have no mood time to blog. I CAN'T WAIT to ENTERTAIN them and make sure they go to hell home happily. Especially when they have brought me lovely gifts - 5 bites on my left hand, 2 bites on the right hand and 2 bites on my right leg. How can I not thank them in return!!! So kind of them to visit me at the beginning of this chilly autumn. They must have been thinking by lingering on me in the midnight will warm me up. Pierces through my skin to injects its saliva and suck my blood to ensure that I won't oversleep. Leaving me with red itchy lumps love marks to represent its undying love. Love that has been following me since my arrival in London. Oh, how can I not be touched?! I can't stop cursing missing them every time I scratch caress the lumps love marks. I can't wait to tell the whole world I hope you will rot in hell love you! I can't wait to squeeze you to death to s...

Sometimes I do wonder how not-so-good-things (I don't want to say bad coz I know I am luckier than many ppl in this world!) can happen to me all at once. 1. Bitten by mysterious bugs - My right hand was swollen and I couldn't stop scratching my hand. It was so itchy that I scratched my hand subconsciously while I was sleeping. The red blotches started to spread the next day and I was forced to take medicine. It's better now but my left hand is still scratching my right hand (why does this sound so wrong -_-?). I realised I am so prone to being bitten by bugs in London - beg bugs, spiders & all kind of weird bugs. I don't know why. The only explanation is - London hates me. Actually my cousins experienced the same thing as well but I am always the one with serious allergy. 2. Hostelworld Booking error - I was surfing Hostelworld for the past few days and realised their system has a very serious bug. If you open Hostelworld in multiple windows at the same time...

visited 15 states (6.66%) Apparently, I've only been to 15 countries and only 6.66% out of the total. I am almost sure that, there won't be a 100% for me. There are places that I will never consider of going ... (but it will be a different saying if I am being sponsored =p). Being a working holiday maker has allowed me to travel to many Europe countries and I am glad I have taken up the opportunity. Just a little sad that I won't have enough time to leave my footprints in all the Europe countries. There are things and people in Malaysia that are holding me back. It's just time for me to go home after leaving my country for almost a year. Counting down ... to the day I am a free man/woman again - 22 days to the day for my undone Europe trip - 24 days to the day someone will be here - 38 days to the day for my 2nd part of the undone Europe trip but this time, with you - 40 days to the day I bid farewell to London - 53 days to the day I step on my home soil once again - 55...

Sorry, no mood to update, having PMS, can't help it. Everything seems to be wrong - people who walk slowly in front of me, the summer-like-winter weather, the list of Paris hotels that make me headache, the crowded tube, the Converse I wanted to buy no longer selling on Amazon, have to drag myself up at 6am tomorrow morning & etc etc ... Although everything go according plan ... I still can't help to be frustrated . I will be away for the long weekend, heading to Edinburgh and Loch Ness. Hopefully I can get to see the legendary lake monster -____-. Have a great weekend all! ~Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him - Louis L'Armour~

This afternoon (during lunch time okay, I didn't curi malas), I was browsing through blogs and I came across a love quote on my friend's blog. "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis My first response after reading the quote - "I'd choose to be vulnerable even though I know it will hurt. If my heart will be broken, so, be it then." Love hurts because there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. We fall in love, we argue, we get hurt, we patch things up or we break apart with incurable scars - be i...

I was being emo the past few days after reading my old blog. 4 years ago, I had so many close friends and now ... haiz. That's why I was emo la -_-, just feel like staying at home and reminisce the past (I know I sound like an old woman but I can't help it T_T). Do you understand the feeling of looking back and realized how much you have changed throughout the few years? I was going through that process and I feel old ... -_- Okay enough craps. 1st stop of the 9-day-trip, I present you Barcelona - the second largest city in Spain. 3am in the morning. I only had 1 hour sleep. The price to pay for cheap air ticket - the earlier the cheaper -_-. That's life, things are always cheaper when there's less demand. Tadah! I was on easyjet . I am not being paid for this okay (not like I have lotsa traffic also -_-). I really think they are okay for budget airline at least there was no delay. After 2 and a half hours - I was in Spain! Plaça Catalunya the main commercial area ...
