Maybe it was the routine that killed it. Or perhaps it was the worry of how others would view me. Or then again it may juz be me - worried about the outcome and unable to cope with the insecurities of it all.
Every store I move to signifies a change. A change of that important person in my life.
... ...
On the way to ah ma's house today and I thought about where I am today. And how though our contact is at such a minimum. Your words and thoughts were still able to influence my decisions.
Spoke to couzin juz now. Or rather. He came over to talk to me. And yes. No doubt it was a super short chat as compared to our usual over dinner/supper/into the dead of the night chats. It was still a glimpse into his life and how he was doing. *heartz*

A simple dinner. Some shopping. A sudden craving for ice cream.
... ...
Random chats about everything. And I guess of my emotions this morning. I told him things I usually won't. Or probably coz I'm comfortable with him already. And I trust him too.
Think both of us got a tad cranky towards the end. Coz both opening and kinda zoning out. Hahaha.
... ...
Definitely a good meet up and yeah. Got preached about my travelling alone. =P

That was a interrogating process seriously!
Was crossing the road to store that day when I was stopped by 2 of my crew who were kaypoh enough to ask who was that fellow I kept checking-in with. 'Your boyfriend ah?'
Like seriously. I only told them 'Wei. See the surname la. Same surname lehz. My bro la..' lll-.-
Only today did I realize this happened a couple of years back when the conversation of Li Jia Wei's marriage came up along these lines..
*w: eh.. Li Jia Wei is married..
Me: to who? (That time she juz broke up with Ronald Susilo not long..)
*w: some Chinese businessman with the same surname.
Me: O.o same surname?
*w: Yarz. When they interview her the reason for marriage. She said coz she wanted her kids in future to have the same surname as her..
Me: *stunz*
I know the conversation didn't end there and we had a good laugh over it. And now a couple of years down the road. I'm having a good laugh over something similar. =P
Not saying I'm not for the idea of marrying someone with the same surname. Juz that it's kinda weird? So when people adopt their husband's name it becomes like 'Ng-Tan' or 'Ng-Chua'. This becomes a 'Ng-Ng'?? I know I know. You juz skip the second Ng. But it's not fun after a while lo.. But to imagine myself as other surname besides my own's also kinda weird eh? 'Chan Yi Xiu' or 'Lim Yi Xiu'. =P
Hahaha. Juz sudden random thoughts.

My crispy pata! A taste of my 3rd home. And no. I didn't lug any strawberries home. And my managers bugged me for them too. Bought them liang teh and Korean strawberries instead!
But hell yes! *m cooked the crispy pata for me! I was (still am) a happy girl!! XD
... ...
*digress* looking forward to next year's trip in May much! Coz it's my other group of kakis and *d's with us too this time! =D

Drastic times call for drastic measures.
An article once wrote: whenever someone starts to do something unexpected to their hair ie. not their usual hairstyle, colours or length. It usually signifies a drastic impact (usually negative) that is dealt to their lives recently. And because of the impact. It affects their outlook in life and shaving off the locks somewhat mentally equates to shaving off the problems and solutions are usually found thereafter.
So. Have I got the solution? Perhaps.
... ...
The travel's tmr and I'm not prepared yet. Housekeeping or otherwise. But I guess that since I've seen Melissa once (for 5 days straight no less) and none for Haliza. I guess there's nothing much to worry about? Except that Melissa's the Director of Training Learning and Development in Malaysia and Haliza the Training Manager.
Ah. Good luck to myself! (Though looking forward to dinner with *d tmr! *beamz*)

It's not that I was drunk. Juz feeling happy and wanted to be crazy and laugh at silly things but no one was there for me to do juz that.
It's been a long time since my last really crazy moment. (Walking down orchard does not quite equate that though..)
Ah well. This is life. Happy Boxing Day guys! =)

What is a good beer?
A good beer is strong like a good hard punch, and smooth like a lover's kiss.. - as read from a book by the brother..
A good Christmas Day well spent.
Major book and magazine shopping at Kino (read: $122 without discount). Travelling goodies bought at Army Market (read: $298). Art stuff bought at Art Friend (read: $14). Laptop paid for (read: $1000). 3 good meals today for 2 (read: $200 and that's with 4 half pints which are not nice).
Ok. Good spending though. And a very Merry Christmas to me! XD money isn't everything. But somehow it bought me moments of happiness.

The best trips are those that words can't express.
The best sunsets and night skies are in The Philippines.
The best chillax trip was definitely Luang Prabang. *no fight*
The best place that made me at home is Malacca.
The place that made me hold my breath in awe was Xining.
The trip that I cried when leaving was Philippines. ="(
So many places. So much experiences.
... ...
Photo credits to *v. =) he's in Luang Prabang now.. *heartz*

"I think one travels more usefully when they travel alone, because they reflect more." – Thomas Jefferson, (Letter to John Banister, Jr., June 19,1787)
How true. Coz that's exactly what I did. And now that all my brain juices are dry and brain cells left to recover. I shall head out to bed.
It's back to the same old same old routine later. ="(

Writing this as I'm sitting at the tea house with a cup of BOH tea. Actually sitting inside but found a place outside. No doubt sharing. But I don't care! =P
Cool breeze. Hot fragrant tea. Great view. No doubt view isn't as good as the other branch's cafe. It's not so touristy and commercialized. *heartz*
Decided against having that slice of tempting strawberry cake coz am thinking of heading back for the resort's famed high tea. And maybe some jap? =P
A splurging trip and at Cameron no less. Who would have thought of it? =D

Room not ready.. So shall head up to BOH tea plantation as per planned. =)
Had a good hearty breakfast. And now going for lunch at the cafe at the plantation. =)
Seriously. Not going to step out after I come back later. Coz this place is really so so nice!
Old English style. Cosy. Warm. Chillax. A good way to spend the weekend before Christmas. *heartz*

For once out of so many tours (actually not really a lot).. For a double decker bus I'm actually sitting downstairs! Hahaha. Window seat too. =)
Watching people getting on to other buses. I kinda like this 'celebration' of end-of-world day.
Juz hope no one sits next to me ba. Then can sleep however I like.
A detox. A getaway for the last time in 2012. Solo. Backpacking. *heartz*

我也有脆弱的一面. 我只希望有个肩膀让我靠一靠. 当我想哭的时候也能放声大哭.
I've already decided my priorities for 2013. Nothing will sway my decisions. So leave me alone.
Don't come and tell me how inactive I am. Or how boring I am. Coz this is me. My life. Not everyone has the luxury of time like you.
And you're not that important in my life that I am willing to lay down my priorities juz to go out with you. Sadly. You're someone I can do with or without.
If you wanna be so 'active'. Learn to be independent and do things solo. Don't come and act smart with me.
I'm not interested in you.

Doomsday. As what people say it's tmr. But I guess I have no regrets already.
And anyways I'm heading up north tmr night also. To get away from it all. And a good getaway it'll be.
... ...
Had a good chat with *d today. Though it may be short. And I guess I'll miss *m somewhat. He cooked crispy pata today!! =(
But if it's really doomsday. *you're the only person on my mind. =/

Point 9.
But thing was. I wasn't the one giving the directions but vice versa. Someone was giving me directions and I flared up. In front of my friends. And I told him to shut up.
I remembered when we got down the car I refused to be touched by him. And I remembered him trying to explain his rationale. I also remembered me telling him off. He said he doesn't like to be told to shut up in front of others and in such a tone of voice. I told him this was me. I hate people telling me what to do. Especially when I'm the driver and when my mood was this bad.
I recall feeling back then that the relationship was never gonna work out. And so a day later I ended it all.
Seriously.
Don't tell a girl what to do. Especially when that girl is me. Unless you know where you stand in my heart/life. Don't mess with me. =)

You are the reason why I wanna be at NYC during Christmas. And since that 'bedtime' story. Every Christmas I'm reminded of us. And reminded of the ending of the story where they both met at NYC Rockefeller Centre Christmas tree while the snow was falling.
It was our story. Our ending. But alas. It wasn't meant to be.

Someone juz asked me if I could be a guarantor for him. No doubt I had to think carefully. But I've replied no.
Not when I don't have that kinda money if anything happens. Not when I have a younger bro to take care of. And not when I remembered years back when I signed on that paper as someone else's guarantor.

Actually am not too sure when I became such a solo traveller.
'To know a person in his home is not took now him at all: to meet him on the country road with only his baggage is to at last contact the core, the inner self of his personality.' - John Tibettes
Juz now *d juz casually tossed out that question and it got me thinking. Really not sure when. But I've fallen in love with the trill of solo travelling to foreign lands with juz my backpack and me.
Call me daring. Call me crazy.
At least I'm doing what I love and in a way also escaping the reality of life. *heartz*

A spot. Years back. On a night when you decided to meet me and bring me out to celebrate my birthday.
Super random thought I know. But please. Don't mind me. It's juz that this weather and ambience is too good to pass up the chance to reminisce.
People changes. Memories don't.
Thank you for those wonderful memories we once shared. =)
Good night world.

That. Was such a weird dream!
I dreamt that my team and I were told that we would be transferred out of the store. Yes. Whole team. O.O
And the best part was that we were to exchange stores with wcp. O.O means wcp will run my store and we'll run wcp.
Gosh.
I remember worrying about their CE and sales. Damn. =/
And best. I woke up to a msg from Vikki. This Rejit proposed for me to be in a market wide charter. lll-.- no more low profile le ba. =/

Good morning world! XD
Facts: according to researchers. Mondays are so depressing that on average humans don't crack a smile until 11.16am.
I've never faced Monday blues before. Coz in shift work. There's nothing that beats having a break after a heavy weekend. =P never could understand why people so hate Mondays.
And guess what? I'm still off today! Though need to go store for a while for mdp. But the day is still mine. All mine! =D
Lovely December! XD
