Learning To Breathe

My Oktoberfest

Black Eyed Peas Concert, Genting Arena of Stars, 8 pm

BEP are born entertainers, we’re grooving to their music all night long. Genting is so sejukkk, angin kuat, kabus tebal gile. Spent the night at First World Hotel. Before sleep, chatted with dad over the phone, updating our whereabouts and weekend plans.

Genting Theme Park, 12 pm – 6 pm

It was my first time ever, bayangkan umur 23 baru dpt jejak Genting Theme Park nih uhuhu…kesian btol. Had so much fun with Ayuni and Dhuha =)! I love the rollercoaster rides. Btw, thanks Ayuni for the Baskin Robbins, suweeett

The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, 8 pm - midnite

From Genting, we went straight to The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. Bravo to Ayuni as Ms Driver. Gone extreme, unplanned shopping spree, very very bad one! I’m officially broke this November ohoh. We had dinner at O’Briens. Pleasant surprise, tibe2 the supervisor blanja antar a slice of cake to our table. Such a nice gesture eh ;P. Finally, back to Ampang, exhausting day *sigh* but in a good way.

Ampang

Woke up late. Helped out here and there to pack the stuff. The ‘movers’ people will deliver it all to Kuantan later this week. Lapar, so we went lunch at Linda Onn’s chicken rice restaurant. Laydee Dhuha blanje =), thanks so much babe. Then, continued packing things.

Kuantan

Betolak to Kuantan around 7pm. Rained heavily along the way. Received a ‘conference’ call from the girls at Apid’s house, rindu lame tak jumpe korang. Sorry tau Apid, can’t make it to your ‘open-house’ this year. Reached Kuantan by 11pm. Afterward, received a long surprise call from mrCarlos, currently in Pasir Gudang on a project *haishh*

P/S - Hartelijk bedankt Radin for the posted birthday card. Leuk! Just lovely =). Ik spreek niet zo goed Nederlands, err… Ik spreek geen Nederlands...Wie geht's? Proost! (This is a horrible attemp to speak Dutch, but I think he could understand)

23 on 23rd, Older and Better

Thank you very much to the thoughtful individuals for all the wishes. I sincerely cherish them. Hey, do smile a lot today, simply because it's my birthday =)

Arched Elusive Vision (A Dedication)

I was minding my own business when I first met him. I wasn’t even trying to look for anything as we first spoke. Weird chap, I thought. After several encountering, all of a sudden I noticed his odd little stare. There he was, a translucent wild prince. Secretly, he had me in a daze that time. I said to myself “what the hell”. I played it cool…but not for too long…

Often he wears striped shirts to work and plain t-shirts on our dates. He smells so good with Montblanc Starwalker. He speaks in 3 languages; I’m not sure which language he dreams in because he’s pretty fluent in all 3. A reckless driver, maybe he speeds just to feel the danger, as I do. He habitually eats pickles after his meal. He said he’s on diet, but I honestly doubt it. He did lose some weight during the 2-weeks-vegetarian phase tho’. Almost every time, I can spot a bottle/can of Pepsi Max near him – in the car, in the room, on the desk…He must love the taste huh. Well, I prefer Coke over Pepsi.

He appears to be a cold-blooded man. Egocentric. Occasionally amusing. I can’t recall much when he’s being romantic. But I can truly smile each time I think of him. There’s hidden sweetness in him. Once, I dashed and locked myself in the bathroom, crying. Outside, he repeatedly knocked, called my name, asked me to open the door. Few minutes later, Bannggg! The bathroom door was opened. Stunned. Immediately, he hugged me so hard that my bones may possibly crush, and then he lifted me up near the sink. He held my head, put my hair to the side, wiped my tears and softly kissed me. I barely remember words he said as I myself were busy handling my emotional leaking eyes. He carried me out of the bathroom and I simply felt nice again. Until now, I haven’t got the chance to ask how he opened the door.

With people I always tried my best to be guarded; with him I’m an open book instead. To this faraway wild prince: This is the way that I say “I miss you”. This is the way that I say “I love you”. This is the way that I say “I’m yours” (ick…sounds too much?). Let me know that you hear me. Let me know that you love me. And hopefully, let that be enough…

Real Girls with Added Chick Lit Factor

Valued time with cool real girls:

♥ Housemates – Here I would like to express an appreciation for my Balok-homies for arranging a dinner treat for me (as they earned hefty bonus! Wuhuu sweeet). Nice dinner at a cozy place called Lemon Grass located at Jalan Beserah, Kuantan. Notice the nice lightings when you go there. Mucho thanks babes.

♥ Wengurls – A last-minute-plan turned out to be worthy. Acquired a little bit of everything from 7-out-of-10 Wengurls. From Seremban to Serdang to Shah Alam to Damansara. Many pit-stops. Did I mention I was the driver that day? Hehe tapi tak terer gak lagi jalan2 nyer haihh. Still need guidance and more practice. And apparently the girls wanted to buy the whole IKEA…

Not forgetting…

mrCarlos is coming back from Chicago today after a week of training there. Played along, I would normally just forget that it took too long for him to call. mrSongs is also coming back today. His flight is supposed at 6 pm. He already called me twice while he was somewhere on Brunei coast, formulating on digging something beneath. Each sentence of our conversations lagged for 2 seconds. Well, maybe he’s telling the truth after all...we’ll just see about that, shall we

Zigzagging...

I always feel stuck watching history repeating. I’m just a girl who knows she’s needy but never a clingy. Sometimes gluttonous - always take a big bite and can never get enough (who doesn’t anyway?). I already lost my head, and now am I losing my heart as well? Or have I found my head again and finally being realistic? I guess I just need to experience and confirm it myself huh. Yes, I’m ready for big time. Surprise me high and low.

For real...

I’m currently reading a book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom (borrowed as always). Workload at office is truly overflowing…HELP! Just wanna get the job done and run Diyana runnn… I’m really looking forward to this coming Raya holiday! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all.
