It was a fun weekend.. semangat yang membara aku telah mendorong aku untuk menyertai IW kali ini. gosh, standard BM aku telah merosot dengan teruknya.
Went back to IW this time as a staff, floating staff as described by someone, hey i ain't floating k? ( too heavy ler) As I decided to join at the very last minute, they are already done assigning the volunteers to their respective positions.
Headed to IYC after work with no fuss, all thanks to Lay Yen who gave me a lift , and provided me with her bro's yummy fried mee hoon. If not becos of my upset stomach, i would have eaten much more !! :D
The next 2 days was really fun, getting in touch with nature, taking a break from my stressful workdays and watching the much younger than me participants get sloshed in rain and mud. ha-ha..
Enjoyed cooking in the woods, we cooked Vege-Teh, our vegetarian version of Bak Kut Teh, sardines, sambal and rice. It was yum ! Had fun jaga-ing the pot of soup... hehe
I'm glad i made the decision to join this IW, it was a break that i needed to get out of the city !
Go Raleigh !

the day i fell sick
It has been some time since i could take time to pen off my thoughts. in the meantime, obviously the woman beside me had to endure my blabberings. then again she was off from work on Thurs and Fri, thus, a break from me and my grandmother stories ! Ha!
Last week was a whole week of training for me, and i was down with food poisoning on Thurs.. darn, just when I had to leave for IW the next day! but i went anyway.. ha ha ( soon young's style).
Thursday was a horrible day, as i was basically throwing up my food and making repeated trips to the loo, and to make things worst, the air-conditioning at work wasn't working.. that nearly killed me. ( tak tahan panas and sesak nafas lar...) Took an early lunch break at 11.30, and came back feeling much better. Condition got worst towards 5 pm, and headed home sharp at 5.35pm. For the first time this year, I reached home before dark, Mom was impressed.. but not so after knowing the reason why. Paid a visit to Mr.Doc and came back with loads of medicine..was feeling cold and hot at the same time.. hid under my blanket the whole time.. and after 2 slices of bread + medicine.. terus KO sampai pagi.
of course, i packed my backpack for IW first.. was to leave after work and head to IYC on Friday.

the dream..
my colleague had a dream about me that got me thinking for a while.. she said it was very weird..but i had other thoughts about it...
in the dream, it was my last day at work and the whole dept knows about it, except for her. as usual we did the group farewell and all, but she didnt know what we were 'celebrating' until she asked the woman beside. being the last one to know about my resignation, she was very sad, and apparently i left her a video tape to say goodbye.
quite a dramatic dream huh?
leaving the job? well it's all a matter of time when someone leaves their comfort zone and move on to the next path in their life.. was having a chat with someone the other day, and he said that he did all sorts of jobs and tried to start his own business, and now after years of working, he is still a junior exec.. some of his friends are very successful by now, and to quote his exact lines " they took the right path, did the right job, followed the right advices, and everything seems to be so right." oh well, there will always be people around you who are more successful, and in a better state than you, and there's also people who are in a less fortunate state.. it's all up to you to look up or down, to compare to strive for the better.
thought for now : when do i move on to the next path?

restless
am feeling so restless and bengang now. dunno why. loaded with work, ideas to be implemented, tasks to be carried out and papers to review..
argh.. am goin thru one of those moments.. that i wish i can run away and do nothing.. but hey, wait a minute, didn't i just come back from a great trip? sigh.. not enuf ler..
i'm goin thru one of those emotional periods.. literally as well. brain seems to be shutting down, body absolutely restless.. feel like running away...
brings me back to this time when i was back in uni, i was feeling so stressed out from assignments and exams, called mom to tell her, and ended up crying to her.. got her a lil worried, but the comfort received helped a lot.. as much as a lot of us have forgotten it, but moms ARE the ones who know us best..
get up and get back to work amanda thooi !!sigh

reality check
it's back to work. was only working on monday last week. and then was away in kuantan for 3 days.. a getaway with loved ones, the sun, sand and sea... what else could be better?
though i was back at work on Friday, it wasn't so much of a hangover cos it was the weekend after that. muahaha. if only i get to work less than 5 days a week.
been wanting to post up some pics from my kuantan trip which i have taken with my pink phone. but.. tak ada cable ler.. sigh.. will do it soon..
Monday has been quite a breezy day, there were new trainees at work ( again?) , well we are working on plans to expand the existing team into a bigger team.. thus the constant recruitment. Had lunch at Thai Nudle house ( again). we've been there 3 times, with the newbies.. but the food is pretty ok, so i won't complain. :P
finally headed to gym yesterday, after 3 weeks of absence ! gosh. my arms are turning back into flabs.. urgh. resolution for this month - kuat kuat pergi gym !
oowkay.. time's up, gotta get back to work !
