The Road Not Taken

 I've always like this poem by Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken
How many of us will actually take the road less travelled by....

Somewhere ages & ages hence

Two roads diverged in  a wood

& I took the one less travelled by

& that has made all the differences

If...

If..

A supposition

An uncertainty..

If only i could tell what lies ahead

If only i could see how things will turn out

There are so many uncertainties

And i just couldnt bring myself to take that one step

I'm standing at the crossroad

To the left or to the right

I pondered, wondered & imagined

Still i'm standing here without a move

I've escaped a day but couldnt escape forever

To leave or not to leave...

I'm just a little girl lost at the moment

life is a maze, love is a riddle

i dont know where to go

cant do it alone i've tried

and i dont know why

Smile :)

2013

First day of a new year, spent most of the day on traveling. From Johor --> KL (bus),  TBS -->KL Sentral (KLIA express) --> LRT last station. Our journey started from 10am and finally reached our final destination about 4pm+.

A dear friend's wedding brought me to Johor, my first time visiting this state after staying so many years in West Msia. We went to JPO, Jusco Bkt Indah, Black Ball for afternn tea, and celebrating our new year eve at K Monster Bkt Indah.

What a memorable new yr eve dinner at K Monster! The worse service ever! Our food were served one hour after our order, and all of it were cold! so unpalatable and unacceptable! Worst still, the chicken chop, fish chop, spaghetti  are served in the same sauce! yucks! It's definitely a highly-NOT-recommended place for singing session in Johor.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second & third day of the year were spent shopping in KL. Walked a 10 thousands steps in these 2 days. Spent a hefty RM200+ in clothes just these 2 days! Have never been a shopaholic or spend so much on clothes. This is the first time ever i've spent so much at once for some clothes! My goodness! Anyway, nice clothes & i'm loving it! Yay :)

It has been a good start, feeling good for the brand new year but it didnt last long. Undesirable things start lurking around....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming down with flu, sore throat right after my holidays. Not a big deal anyway. Went to badminton session as usual and happily chatting about safety issues around my area with one of my colleagues. Talked about snatch theft, car stealing, smashed windows etc. It never occurred to me that the very next day i would spend the whole day in Perodua service centre, for my car window was smashed by some too-free-nthg-to-do scum of the society. Nothing was stolen as there was really nothing valuable and most luckily, it didnt rain the night before! My car would have been flooded if there was a heavy downpour! Would have cried my heart out if that's the case!

It was so cold in the service centre & my flu was getting worse. A boring day spent sleeping like a child on the waiting couch til 5pm & Spent RM209 for the window. A brand new year with a brand new untinted window. great!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flu & headache only got worse as each day passed by.  Feeling sick & tired of all those nagging & scoldings and only came home to find an unable-to-function computer welcoming me home. What a day! CPU was admitted to ICU. Lucky & thankful that all my doc was able to be retrieved. A brand new year with a newly formatted computer. Not bad huh?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next. My encounter with big spider. It was the most OMG & another unexpectable thing for this new year! The name spider is scary, the picture of it is enough to scare me away, what's more to say,  a big one! It came out of nowhere & appeared right in front of my eyes! It was so OMG scary. Dont know where it was hidden now but that's enough to steer me away from stepping into the kitchen for few days!

Well, a friend said, it was all luck. A good luck. How many of us actually got visited by a big spider? Haha..

Yup, good luck is it for this new year. My luck is bouncing back. I'm bouncing haha!

Bounce ~ Bounce ~ Bounce ~ Weeeeeee..... : )

January is coming to an end. Hope everybody has had a great start and it will be a great year for everyone.

Smile! Your smile makes me smile : )

New Year

The year is coming to an end. It was my last working day this year. Spending the last working day in warehouse, just like the last year. It was an enjoyable day last year. This time? It was just ok.

Whatever it is, i'm glad i took a leave for almost a week the following week. It's good to have a break, to leave everything behind before a brand new start.

Bringing forward my wish list, hoping for a great new year ahead and wondering what lies in front for me..if only i could tell the future...i wonder..

Heard this song on my way to work today. Nice Christmas song from Britney.



  

Santa that's my only wish this year...

Time flies

It is a lucky day for the new girl. There was no noise pollution for the whole day. No scoldings, no loud booming voices every now and then. Many are on leave as well. Peaceful day.

Memories of my first working day came flashing back as i talked to my new partner. A sweet young girl, almost the same height and weight as i am. Well, thinner, thinner than the already so underweight me. A nice person to chat with. As we chatted along, i couldnt help but keep thinking what is her first impression of this company, the boss, will she turn out to like this company in the  near future, what is her opinion of this and that after couples of weeks...

It was 13th June, Monday, when i first entered this company. I was full of anticipation, excitement, passion and positive spirit when i came in for the first-day-at-work.

My manager brought me to my seat, and started to nag why my place isnt ready for me, with paper bags on the table,no computer prepared for me etc..

Wearing a one-peace grey colour dress, which used to be her favourite dress, my partner smiled warmly while she greeted me. She then passed all the notes that she has for me to read as my boss was too busy to attend to me. We started off with the few typical get-to-know-each-other questions and never did we expect that we are just staying across the road from each other! what a coincidence!
We were so happily saying that we can car pool and save money but ironically, we  never did so til the next year when the parking fees increased. ha!

It was just early 9am in the morning. I sat there looking around, at the colleagues surrounding me, not knowing what to do besides reading those notes. Everyone was so busy, some are so focused on their computer, some busy on the phone, some walked around, carrying things..There were quite a lot of people there, voices loud and soft, low and high, noises here and there, a very different environment compared to my previous company. Then there was this women shouting at the HR, scoldings, anger heating up. There was this noisy printing machine with the 'eek eek eek..' sound every time the SOP team print the invoices or the sort. And then i saw my partner standing there, being scolded by the boss. Wow..what a scene on the first day. It was a totally different environment from where i have been and i wondered is it just that day, or it's how it will be like the following days to come.

''what do you think of this company?" asked my partner during our lunch. Well, not knowing if she loves this company, i was trying to be neutral, saying that it was just a bit weird, very different from my previous company that i still need time to adapt.

"weird? you stil used such a mild word as weird? It was totally like a market! It was ......" Exclaimed my partner as she go ahead to tell us how she feel of the company and others. I couldnt recall exactly what she said next, but it was obvious that she didnt like the company. So do i, on the first day. However, i still wanted to keep neutral and give it a few more days before i make my judgement of the company.

As i drove home on my first Friday with this company, tears rolled in my eyes. It was totally out of my expectation. All the excitement was gone. It wasnt what i  wanted it to be. Fri was supposed to be a happy day but my heart was screaming. The first week, we could just get scolded or nagged for more than an hour, going home around 7pm everyday. what's going on here? what's wrong with everything?

          ....................................................................................................................

This new girl is lucky on her first day. The office was actually quite most of the time. At 5.30pm, i asked her to go home as there wasnt anything for her to do on the first day. Tomorrow, it's a holiday. The days that follow, i'm sure it will be a smooth one. Guess that her first week will be a smooth one, and that will make her stay, longer than anyone would have guessed.

In a wink of an eye,

Without realising it,

It's been more than a year i'm here

Time flies...

Wonder how long will i stay on

what's more to come

what lies ahead

a future yet to be unfold...

everyday it rain

It's the end of the year. It's the raining season. It's the I'm-loving-it nice weather for sleeping. Nevertheless, it does bring inconvenience for those who are outdoor. 

It's been raining cats & dogs every single day recently. Yesterday, the sun has unexpectedly out beat the rain. As i arrived the badminton court, I was thinking what a lucky day it didnt rain today & it doesnt look like it's gonna rain too. Compared to the previous week, the rain was real heavy that we just kept playing, buying time waiting for it to subside and there was only one umbrella among all of us there.

Well, it did rain, heavily, in the midst of the game. I kept looking at my watch at 8 something, hoping the rain will subside even when i know it basically wouldnt stop for the whole night. Nobody make a move as the sky was still shedding much tears and none of us brought an umbrella!

By 9pm, i couldnt wait any longer. I ran to my car under the rain and took the umbrella in my car for my colleague. The rain has actually subsided a little. No matter how heavy is the rain, I will still do the same thing. I'm not afraid of falling sick because of the rain, my friend. I wouldnt fall sick because of that, but my stomach will, if i still couldnt feed it. Absurd but true :D

Bruno Mars was singing:

There'll be no sunlight if i loose you baby

There'll be no clear skies if i loose you baby....

If you walk away, everyday it will rain, rain rain...

Wonder who walked away from Bruno lol
