calling

this week i've encountered a couple of things that are related to the calling. the first would be the island breakaway. me and my colleagues just came back from pulau pemanggil, which literally means the "caller island". it was cool. the island is somewhat a virgin island but not so virgin. u know what i meant, rite? :p. it doesn't have that full facilities just like what they have in redang. i quite like that. can still feel the authenticity of an actual island. however, i would say that redang is much more exquisite and better in terms of the coral, the sea and the beach. at pemanggil, especially at where we stayed, there was no beach. my dreams of laying on a lounge chair at the beach still not being fulfilled. well, maybe i just need to ask someone to plan another getaway at another island for me *grin*. start saving up now!

the second thing would be the passing of a friend of my mates. she passed away a couple of days ago. it was so unfortunate for her and the family. she only knew she was sick only a few weeks ago and what suprised us all is that she has a very critical illness and it was actually at the final stage! knowing that you have one of the most feared disease will definitely shocked you, let alone knowing that you only have a few days to live. this event has definitely made us all think how fortunate for us to be able to still breathe the air and and to have the chance to rectify all the wrong things that we have done in our life. in addition, we need to be extra careful in what we eat and do in our everyday life. take extra cautious. remember, put on sunblock. not to stay fair, but to avoid the harmful uv rays, which can lead to skin cancer... *can't believe i can write something this serious :P*

*me and my mates

enemy

i couldn't figure out why the person who used to be my best friend suddenly acted weird as if i were his enemy. it has been over 2 months since the last time we've chatted. and to my suprise, he didn't even say hi to me when i went to his house meeting his sister today. it's like we had never known each other. we've been friends for nearly 10 years for crying out loud. he kinda told me that he has a girlfriend now but give me a break, man! you shouldn't break a friendship just because of a girl. even though eventually you gonna marry that girl and i know this friendship had its ups and downs, but this is just not right.

anyhow, who am i to complain? i'm a nobody. though, i'm still glad for the happy times i had with him. and now, i feel blessed to have the friends who are always there for me. who can cheer me up when i'm down. unfortunate in love but lucky in life. that's more important, ain't it? *wink*wink*

ryan

the travel back to kl from kb was such an adventurous one and yet ryan had been such a doll today. why? u ask. this time around, i took gua musang route since there weren't a lot of traffic on the road. when we were in pahang, my mom told me to take the alternative route since it should be clearer and no traffic lights. so, since i'm not really in the condition to drive (really was sleepy, thank god nothing happened), i just followed my mom's instruction without realising that the fuel is almost gone. i only noticed it once the light started to blink, which means the tank only left approximately 3 or 6 litres (can't remember :P) of petrol, which is roughly 30-60km depends on how fast you go. i was like, "oh my god! where on earth can i find a petrol pump in the middle of nowhere". i was freaking out a bit. the only way i can do was switching off the air conditioner to save some fuel before i can find any gas station. we were sweating like pigs but we had no choice :(.

the meter has read 50km since the light started to blink and we were still 30km away from the next r&r. i said to myself there's no way i'm gonna push ryan in the middle of the highway. to make things worse, the highway is a hilly one. really scared that ryan can't make it. i drove on the emergency lane. and drove less than 60km/h and even slower than those trucks and buses, hehehe...

it was another 200m left when ryan started to slow down. oh, please ryan. don't do this now. i kept praying that we can make it to the petrol pump in time without any embarassment. my wish came true. we made it just in the nick of time. oh, how much i love you ryan ;).

btw, to those who still didn't get it, ryan is my trustworthy myvi. the ever cute black mini mpv. the one and only bf i have, at the mo *wink*wink*. love you to bits!

impress

am really impress with myself. i didn't spend anything for my raya attire. not even a single cent. but i still managed to look really cool during eid. it's something, huh? *grin*. as i mentioned before, i'm not a big fan of baju kurung/kebaya. let alone wearing them. but since it's eid celebration, obviously i have to allow myself to wear them, rite? thank god that i have some baju kebayas, which are still hanging in my closet, untouched.

btw, eid celebration this year wasn't that happening compared to last year. this was because some of my relatives didn't come back to kelantan as this year is the year they are celebrating eid at their spouses' hometown. although, eid this year can still be considered as one of the OK years. to add, i think i'm getting fatter now. please, please stop serving those delectable raya dishes. need to start reducing the food intake! oh so i wish, hehehe...
