Here's looking at you kid!

So Kinabalu was totally exhausting but indescribably beautiful. I wished people told me the whole truth when they told me stories of their climbs because i nearly gave up at one kilo meter to the top. But there wasn't any stairs to climb down and waiting in the middle meant freezing to death, so i just slogged through. Little did i know it was a common occurrence for climbers.

Im at the inlaws now, stomach full of the infamous koey teow ganja and the atmosphere festive. Family, friends, lovers and lover's ex lover all together in merriment.

Relationships are a funny thing, and these past few weeks ive heard a lot of status changes. The divorced married, the engaged seperated, sweethearts to friends, singles to couples.

I read this somewhere :

"An older woman told me something that stayed with me. I asked her how she stayed married so long. Her reply, ‘We never both fell out of love at the same time.’ I love that, because no matter how much we want to deny it, there are times we want to throw our boyfriends or husbands overboard—and vice versa. But as long as someone is trying, then you can make it!”


And i think, that just says it all. Relationships are not perfect and needs a lot of hard work. But at the end of the day, you should never give up. Once one of you throws in the towel, everything just falls apart.

Optimistically, maybe in some ways its a good thing. Maybe its a sign from God that it wasnt meant to be. And He's saving you for even worse heartache later in the future. If it was meant to be, you will be together again regardless of what happen. But if you dont, then have faith that God has better plans for you.


p/s : to my dearest beloved, thank you for being there for me throughout that torturous climb. I dont think i could have done it without you.Hugs hugs. KISS kiss.

Traffic jams depress me

Working in this line, doing what i do means having to do a variety of weird, if not stressful things. As how Shahrukh Khan says it "occupational hazards" ( i swear to u there was this one time i heard his interview on the telly and i was so blown away when i heard him say that. And then on the same show i heard Anil Kapoor say " terrantial rain" and again i became so amazed! Maybe im underestimating Bollywood actors?) anyway.. Back to my main point .. So yeah heres a list of things i was able to jot down while waiting for my 1 hour BER test to complete. In no particular order:

1. having to use questionable toilets ( because sometimes the nearest gas station is miles away so u have to make use of the substations toilet which normally would have gone through a hit and miss session by a gajillion of men)
2. being the only person with a uterus in the vicinity 90% of the time ( there ARE times that i wished i had a penis instead, and not because it makes work better, but just makes certain things a little easier. But fear not being the only girl around does have its perks *wink wink*)
3. having to work outstation nearly every single week or on average about 7 days a month away from home. Which means an unpacked bag sometimes needs to be repacked again which will result in me just leaving whatever's in the bag and just throwing in additional stuff.
4. working odd hours. After office hours to midnight and once in a while in the wee hours of the morning. Although its still not as bad as one of my girlfriends who works weekends, and late nights every other day.
5. Driving alone for long hours to remote sites. It gets really boring and sleepy so most of the time i have to entertain myself by doing silly stuff in the car. Singing at the top of my lungs, do a little jig, making fun of stupid adverts on the radio, laughing to my own silly jokes..etc


I know! So sad kan? :-)
