New Year's Eve Self-Introspection

The trip to Pergau was perfect, I will not be able to post the pictures as I haven't collected them from Pojan and Nurul, but I will tell you this, it was the needed break for all of us.

To Arshana (Happy Belated Birthday!), Isma, and Mun, all of you girls are very much missed!

Now, I'm bored and in dire need of continuous useless ramblings. So I decided to dig deeper in myself and complete the following tag:

1. What's your ambition?
The most important right now is to discover the direction of my spiritual self. Seriously, I'm lost.

2. Who is more important for you. friend or boy/girl friend?
I don't have a boyfriend. But if money is not an object, I would run miles for either of them. I think I have, but I lost my battle too once in a while. 

3. How often do you think of commiting suicide?
I used to think about it a lot a couple of years back, but thankfully I was too coward to actually do it. But these days I hardly think about it at all. I love my life, and I love everyone and everything that's in it I'm not prepared to leave them on my own will.

4. Do you think you have enough confidence?
I think I have enough confidence to get what I dream and set to to do. But I don't think I have enough confidence to actually say I love you to people who matters the most in my life.

5. How many babies do you want?
I don't think I'm cut out to be the selfless, nurturing mother. But if I ever get to do it, I want 2 girls, so they can be friends with each other, and a boy for him to be a brother to them both.

6. Favourite perfume/fragrance?
I never really had a preference, I wear whichever smells nice. I am not big on splurging on perfume as well. The one I use so far tend to stick around Body Shop's Spring Orchid.

7. What's your goal for this year?
Finish my Master's degree, and try out for PhD application for the following year. Save 30% (10-10-10) of my scholarship (I'm on 15% at the moment). Be nicer to people.

8. Do you believe in eternal love?
Oh yes I do. But I believe in the perfect love which is worked and drilled on, not a given, happily ever after eternal love.

9. What's a perfect partner to you?-list 10
Oh God, I think after a while, I really get tired of this. If it's left to me, no one will ever get near perfect! Anyway, I'll list a few; Someone who has enormous dreams and astounding zest for life, someone who is not afraid to be who he is, and someone who can discern between meaningful and superficial. Is that too much to ask?

10. What feeling do you love most?
In the morning when I wake up knowing what I'm doing in life, knowing there're people I love who loves me, and knowing I'll not spend today searching for that empty space in my heart where God is still nowhere to be found.

11. What is your bad habit?
I am sometimes too vain to make the effort to be nice to people.

12. Is there anything you want to tell people that hate you?
I don't think about them. Because seriously, I might hate them too. So why make things worse?

13. Do you cherish every single friendship of yours?
Yes I do. For me friendship is something I build and invest over time, it's not something I simply collect to put in my portfolios. For the record, I still hate Facebook to this day for its superficiality, but I don't know why I'm still in it. I'm working on quitting.

14. Describe yourself?
I love books, everyone knows that. I'm also confused, I think everyone knows that too.

15. What do you crave the most currently?
Finding my ways to God.

16. What's currently on your mind?
I haven't worked on my final Media Advocacy assignment yet. I need to interview people, volunteers anyone?

17. What would you really like to do, like right now?
Physically, clean myself and take a bath. But deep down inside, I want to talk to my best friend.

18. What will you become in another 10 years to come?
Let's see, I will be 33 by then. The Director General of the Department of Environment, I hope?

19. What do you hate the most?
Not being able to change things. Especially my dirty hometown.

20. Who else do you want to answer these?
My friends, if they have the time.

Hye folks!

This is just a proposition.
A proposition.

At the first place, Tuan tak tau sejauh mana korang nyer plan, tapi plan kalu wat dekat Kelantan, advantage dari segi transportation.

Dulu Tuan pernah recci tempat ni on the way Tuan ulang alik Kedah Kelantan.

Tarikan utama (from my observtion);
1. tasik dan aktiviti air, memancing (saya provide rod untk 4 to 5 orang insyaAllah)
2. titiwangsa range - the highest land of peninsular
3. reflisea
4. dsbg

Tuan dah call Che Zaaba, orang tu cakap;
-chelet tu floating atas air, bukan atas angin.
-harga rm60 semalam.
-ada dapur
-kene masak sendiri
-rm10 charged untuk boat perhead, pergi dan balik ke chelet.
-rm10 untuk kenu...

anggaran gross costing mgkin dalam rm100 perhead, tu pun dah kire cukup mewah kot

-minyak kereta gi balik kelantan pergau rm30 (tak der tol, sbb tu ske dok klantan), dua bijik, so mgkin rm60
-chalet rm60, kalu amik 2 rm 120, kalu dua hari, baru rm 240.
-fud shopping rm1o0.
-boat, (kak sofi, yati, lupi, Tuan, ctot, azhane, nurul, mun) rm 80
-aktiviti air, nafsi nafsi2...kalu sapa nak try kayak atau apa2
-tiket bus ke kelantan, korang sponsor sendiri ya???

so dalam anggaran kos adalah dalam rm 500

actually saya dan pre-book untuk tarikh 26-27 disember. korang adjust la secepat mungkin. 24hb ke atas, saya dah free....

korang bley check sini Tasik Pergau Beckons Nature Lovers. Ala google sendiri jer Pergau, u'll see more beauties

A Weekend Away

Kawan-kawan,

Ambiklah cuti, jom kita pergi Tasik Chini. Stay a couple of days there. Just us.

The cost will take about 15-20/night.

God, so many changes around. I would really love to talk to you girls.

:)

How does the weekend of New Year's sounds to you guys? Say between 27-29 December 2008? I could pick you up from Kuantan Terminal, and we could all head to Tasik Chini in one car from there.

So far Nurul and Mun have almost confirmed they could make it, and Pojan as well. I can handle the bookings once everything is confirmed.

I have also talked to Kak Sofie and Ann, diorang cakap insya Allah the date is almost convenient for them as well.

I'll try to confirm with everyone so that I can make the room bookings before I left for Johor.

Latest Update:

So we shall go to Tasik Chini, :)

There's a tiny bit of a problem with the date, I'll discuss with Nurul over the weekend and let you know very soon.

Looking forward to see you girls (and guys)!

Dark Story of Mine --- Part 1

N: “We don’t need people like you here.”

M: “This faculty already has few people doing exactly the same field. To be clear, we have 3 tutors doing their Masters and 2 lecturers completing their PhD overseas. And I don’t wish you to be their rivals.”

M: “I can see your degree in biotechnology but we are all here doing basic science and I don’t think there is a place for you here.”

A: “Actually madam, I didn’t apply being under this faculty but it was mentioned in the letter.”

The atmosphere started to tensed a little and I’m getting confused. Start to blame myself. I’m not supposed to be here after all.

N: “So, we decide that you’re going to do bioinformatics since I can see you got an A for the subject.”

N: “But still I don’t know why you’re here. You are not supposed to be here. Not in this faculty. Well, if something comes out for example we might not need you working under this faculty but at least you can still survive with your bioinformatics.”

M: “When you’re graduated?”

A: “Aaa…actually I’m still working on my thesis.”

M: “Ohh…you haven’t graduated yet? So, how this happened? I don’t get it at all. Oh my, you’re full of charms.”

N: “Did they pay you being a fellow? How much?”

A: “Ahh..yes. About **** per month.”

N: “Beruntung budak2 sekarang. Belum graduate tapi dah ada orang nak bagi duit. Senang betul hidup!

Mungkin ini perbualan biasa tapi untuk saya ianya berbau dengan tekanan dan sindiran. Termampu untuk senyum dan senyap pada waktu itu. Oh my! Things are not going like I plan. Apabila diceritakan pada sahabat2 yang yang sudi menemani saya pada hari itu, mereka terkedu. At that moment, I can sense something awful will occur.
