Once again, hello my dear readers.
I have to be honest with you, I haven't been blogging much lately.
From the last time I blogged here to today I can say I have an array of things that happened that really made my mind go topsy turvy.
Last two weeks we conducted an assessment for our new science communicators, I had a boat ride to Temburong and just afew days ago I went to KL for a science communicator workshop. Finally, I get to go into Petrosains. It was fun. The workshop was good. Too bad prior to the trip as well as in the midst of the trip I had a taste of a series of unfortunate events.
Since the trip was just me and my boss I decided to bring a friend to accompany me to go for the trip. Thinking that it would be good for us to spend some time together since it's really hard to get hold of him sometimes. Initially I had trouble purchasing the ticket. Oh yea, I offered to purchase his air ticket since I was the one that invited him for the trip. Eventually I managed to sort the ticket problem and successfully got him a return ticket to Kuala Lumpur. Along the way of the purchasing process we kinda fought a bit. And he decided not to come along. Regardless of what he said I got the tickets for him anyway. Come on, no matter how mad a person is if someone gives you a free air ticket you would cool down right?Right??Nope. Not this dude. He totally turned down the offer and didn't get on the plane. Uhuh. B$345 down the drain.
I went to KL anyway, just me and my boss. I was sad at first but I got over it. Shit happens whatcha gona do right? To enhance my over stressed mind, on the second day of the workshop I fell sick. I got like the fever FEVER. The one where all you can do is just lie down and sleep. Yeap. That happened. Luckily I managed to go for the first day of the workshop. Since it was a two day thing I didn't miss so much. On top of everything, on the last day of my KL trip another thing happened. Me and my boss were already at the KLIA to check-in our things to go back to Brunei. AND BAM! I left my passport at the hotel. And mind you, it takes about 45mins to an hour to drive back to the hotel from the airport. I could feel my heart dropped to the ground when I realized that I left my passport at the hotel. It was already 3pm and our flight was at 5.50pm. I didn't have any choice but to go back to the hotel and to make things worse the queue for the budget taxi was super long. No chance I would have made it. So I had to get a Merceadez. And it was a freakin RM200, just to get me back to the hotel. Since I didn't wana stay another day in KL I took the Merceadez and had to add another RM150 to have me driven back from the hotel to KLIA. SIGH! I literally spent about B$500 on nothing. Very sad.
Oh, as a cherry on top, my car is in the workshop again. It wouldn't be ready til like the middle of next month? SIGH!
All I can say is, I'm disappointed with my friend, I'm disappointed my car and I'm disappointed with myself.
I haven't spoken to my friend since til today. SIGH. Very mean. If only I can punch him.

Learn to appreciate
Hello and good evening.
I had alot going on inside my head that I thought of jotting down before I switched on my laptop. But now it seem like it's going away.
One of the many things that I was thinking about was about the fact that not everyone is born rich or should I say with money. There are people that are born less fortunate. It amazes me how these people are still able to draw a smile on their faces though there are days when they do not even have food to eat for two three days. And here we are sometime thinking that we are broke cause we can't afford to buy a channel hand bag or a luxurious car though we are earning thousands of dollars a month. I think it's sad of how some people failed to appreciate the things they already have. Me inclusive. It's an odd world we live in. I wish I could help all the less fortunate families available here and adopt all the babies given away by messed up couples. But then again, come to think of it I am not the Sultan. So I can't really do much and I don't really have the money. It would be good if I can though. *Sigh*
I am already so sleepy. I'm gona stop here for tonight.
Have a good sleep you.

Baby got back
Hello Dear Readers,
It is a Sunday and I am on duty. *Yawns*
Why do I decided to blog again on a Sunday working day? Because I'm pretty much brain dead. I got presentation slides to do for the upcoming recruitment briefing and some other stuff to do which my brain is too tired to even recall right now.
I reckon I'm sleep deprived as well. I had my open house solely for my friends last night and the guys kinda stayed until about 2am. It was fun though. Haven't been hanging out with the guys in awhile.
Here's a funny story. You know how my lady friends are getting married and what not. So I can say now, getting engaged and getting married are all the things that I have been hearing lately from my lady friends. I thought maybe because they are girls and they are at this age that is why all that talk about is THAT. I figured my guy friends wouldn't be thinking about anything like that now, or maybe ever. Well, as usual I have my assumptions wrong. They do think about it. They do talk about it and they are worried about it. Interesting I may say. Probably its already THAT time. Revolution is taking it's place and we are a part of the integration.
I think it's good that they are trying to get themselves settled. I suppose it's about time. No one is getting any younger.
One of my guy friend said "Baik tah berakal berakal, mun tunggu lama lama bukan pulang makin baik. Makin rusak ada pulang."
I was really impressed with what he said. Never thought something like that would come out of his mouth. Heheh. Another friend said, " Nina, we are at the end of the cliff." He kinda used the wrong metaphor. But I understood what he was trying to say. Hopefully he'll find the right girl who'll manage to make him settle down like an old dog. Heheh.
Funny how things changed.
It's almost 11. Probably I should try doing my slides again. Force things out of this brain.
Last but not least.
I like you smiling smiling Hearts.
