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.

Til then have a good week up ahead.

Tying the knot
It's weird how I have the Song "Fighter" by the Gym Class Heroes stuck in my head right now and it isn't even the last song that I heard today.
It's less than an hour to 12 am suddenly I have the urge to blog. I received a very delighting news about a friend yesterday. I can say, two of my very good friends that I went to the university with will be tying the knot! I am genuinely happy for them. They have found their true love and they are planning to show it to the whole world not through the main stream way of just displaying it on facebook or any sort of social networks but by having a legitimate tie that not all mature couples seem to be able to do.
One lady will be having her wedding just next month and the other will be having hers early January 2013.
These two ladies went through a lot the last time I remember when they were in a relationship. Tears were shed, sorrows were shared between ourselves and what's amazing is they never stopped believing in having that one man that would always be true to them and now here they are planning out their weddings, picking out the best tiaras and the best glittering shoes that would match their dresses. Ahh..so nice.
Now that leaves me here wondering when will it be my turn? The pressure is not really there, cause my mum is not the type that is over the top concern about these things and to her I am still her 16 year old kid. True fact, I'm already 26 for crying out loud. And to add to that fact, I haven't found the right guy yet. * as of today, I don't think I have* But I do believe that I shall have the knot tied sometime next year. *Believe to achieve*
The past six years have thought me a very thoughtful lesson and seeing my friends have showed me the correct way of being in a relationship. It all boils down to believing. When I was with the last guy, which by the way was a pretty much serious four years relationship, I realize I never did believe that he was actually the one, I just THOUGHT he was the one. It seem a lot like it was the real deal that I forgot to believe that it was actually the real deal. But it wasn't. There were too much hope and expectations, which I have failed to realized, was not standing on solid foundations. I guess I was just young and naive. Probably in a way, too confident with myself. And I remember pouring too much love, more than I should have. Gosh, now that I am sane, I just realize all the wrong ingredients were put in the relationship. No wonder it didn't work. Well all of those things are behind me now. What I have learned from my friends are to just be moderate when it comes to these things. To believe that the guy is the right guy and not just think that he is. Probably not to expect too much from him as well, cause one thing he's not God.
Everyone will find their other half as long as you keep on believing that you can. That's what I believe.
That is all I reckon.
To the ladies,
Congratulations! For..

Turn over a new leaf
So here is the thing, sometimes it takes a few slaps on the face for one to realize that he or she is on the wrong side of the road. Consequences of being on the wrong side of the road are as follows:
1. You might hurt yourself
2. You might hurt others
3. You might just die
I was on the wrong side of the road. But today I have certainly realized that I do not wanabe on the wrong side of the road anymore. I've made a mistake of almost going back there and I didn't feel good. I was overwhelmed with guilt that I have not felt since I was a kid. Not too sure what about. But yes it was awful.
A person is always, I mean ALWAYS given a choice. Personally, I think God will never put us in a situation whereby an option is what we only have. Well most of the time, it is never like that. A person would always be given the chance to choose between doing things right and doing things wrong. I, as much as I can, wana do things right. Always be on the right side of the road, to always know what I want, what I need and to know what I don't need.
I am finally turning over a new leaf. I am excited and I am terrified at the same time. It's a weird profound feeling that brings a smile on my face and a couple of frowns as well. But yet, all in all it is still good.
I believe I have made the correct choice. If this new leaf doesn't turn out so good I can always turn over a new page.
*Tee hee
