back again

Yes, I'm alive again.

Currently I'm into some kind of epiphany to learn how to swim. Yup, after 20+++ years of my life, I suddenly came to that realization.

Last week after staying at Holiday Inn Bur Dubai, where we had the pool to ourselves as no one uses it except for a few hours where this kid decided to take a dip and destroyed my enjoyment #selfishness, I decided to swim in the pool at the accomodation ALONE. Well I actually asked Erlyn but she was feeling too lazy to swim so I decided to go by myself. I can say that I had a little bit of progress in swimming so I decided to continue doing it every weekend. But I can only do it during early evening as it's freakin' too hot now.

Tonight we watched MIB 3. Goodness, I like it. Haha.. Now am agent S. Sweet... ^_^

Work related, fingers crossed for that. Currently my mind is on a swirl, sometimes I don't know what to decide. Of course am aiming for something, but if I wanted a different future, I should try that other option also. Ahhh... I'm so confused. Should I or should I not?

On the other note, had this fight again. Felt like I was hit by Thor's hammer on what he told me. Am I that bad? Felt numb that I don't know what to react. I felt bad that I don't know what to say anymore. So currently just keeping my mouth shut. Honestly, I didn't know that I was like that. I admit I'm kinda attention seeker but taking consideration of my situation, I'm just hoping some people might understand me. But am wrong. Everything turned out bad that now I miss those times before the major fight we had.

Anyway, looking forward for another vacation. Hope I can relax and enjoy.

oman it is!

It's been a long time since I last update my blog. Due to my laziness and being busy.

Went to Oman last weekend. Stayed at Intercontinental Hotel Muscat but sadly to say, I didn't felt the five star experience we should feel. Plus we didn't get the 25% discount on f&b due to reasons I didn't bother to elaborate, wtf.

Total twelve hours trip by bus back and forth, had to spend awful time on the stamping stops wtf. Including the dog show (though I admit that the labrador dog is kinda cute) and queuing for the entry stamp where there are locals who keep on making "singit" over the line.

 At first this cat is just roaming around, only to found out later that he's actually looking some place to rest. 

It's freakin' hot outside and Niko kept complaining in the bus coz apparently, he got scared to wear shorts as Anna told her that it's not allowed (look at Maricar who wore shorts and people were NR). My purple neck pillow became very useful during the entire trip

outside restaurant hunting #beenbarbequedalive

shot not scripted; we were really looking to the menu, haha...

@ Feeney's Bar enjoying Sangria

@ trader vics bar

@ rockbottom... the infected p***y and quick f**k shots that made us laugh non stop...

Just to share this wonderful experience, when we arrived in Muscat, the bus driver drop us near the hotel. Near in sight but not in reality. It's freakin' hot and there's no taxi. Walking is a big no no. Then a van stopped in front of us, we thought it's a taxi since he has some sort of thing on top (we cannot read as most of the writings in Oman were in arabic). He dropped us in the hotel and didn't ask for any payment. Thumbs up for you Mr. Driver!

In the end, we weren't able toroam around Muscat as (1) no big taxis are available, (2) all the good spots were far and (3) we only have limited time.

So we just enjoyed ourselves in the pool, beach and hit three bars in one night.

I got drunk but not smashed. When we got home after clubbing, I passed out in the bed. Woke up in the morning feeling so thirsty and hungry. o_O

Btw, Jacky had this wedding last time I talk to her. Getting gaga over weddings to the extent to sending me pics of wedding gown in which I foolishly chose two. Haha... This is what you call the "June wedding fever".

Time check, 11:34pm. Dammit, and I had to wake up at 6:30am tom to catch the bus. And I didn't prepare my clothes for tomorrow. Bummer!

weekend movies

Yesterday we watched the most awaited "The Avengers". I had so much fun though we had to watch it in 2d instead of 3d as no more good seats were available in 3d. Hmpf!

Anyway, most of lines were so funny I couldn't help not to laugh aloud. Okay, just like so many girls out there, I like Thor and Captain America most. The Chrises. Haha...

Just finished watching again for the nth time one of my fave movies "The Devil wears Prada". This movie is my inspiration. I remember the first time I watch this movie, I was in a sort of office dilemma. So this movie like help me in some ways, or so I thought.

Currently watching "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Hmm... Guess Robert Pattinson is a real catch in real life coz he portrays two handsome characters in two movies, Harry Potter's Cedrick and Twilight's Edward. Another hmmm....

But this movie is a lot different from the book. If I weren't able to read the book, I will not be able to understand the small details.

I think I need to move and fix myself as we are going for another session. Hope it works!

the flash mob experience x stressful day

As per title given, I kinda registered myself to join the flash mob dance that we did last night. I think alien invaded me that made me self volunteered to register. I even attended the practice sessions (which is my escape goat when I don't want to work anymore and go home early).

Since it's a white party, everybody were required to wear white which to my grimace made me look so fat that Jane saw me in the locker room and told me that I do gain weight. Arghhh...

Actual performace is a disaster. I'm praying that nobody will upload the video, though am quite sure that nobody will be able to see me as I'm on the back, haha.

Kinda embarassing that even though I made an effort but #majorfail, I still don't have the guts to stay long in the party after the dance. I didn't even remember that we do have the after dance meeting, just found out this morning from Diana about the vouchers that were given to the dancers that night as a sort of compensation for the effort of embarrassing ourselves in front of many people wtf.

Anyway, thick faced me sent an email to Helen to ask about our voucher (me, Joan and Lisi) and confirm if the raffle for CP Yas Island stay and free access to Ferrari World for two is still on. Well she said of course so I'm crossing my fingers that I will be lucky enough (though am never been lucky in raffle draws) to get selected coz I remember that this is the only reason why I joined this drama.

Hundred percent will not post any pictures. I'm planning to do a big bun for my hair that night but due to limited time and my rubberband didn't cooperate with me and broken into two pieces, I had no choice but to just tie it. o_O

Earlier that day, I'm so stressed and pressured. Take note of the "ED" as this is what I felt for that day. Month end is always a disaster. People thought that our section don't have it, but in reality, we have. Do you know stressful it is to call all the companies and travel agents demanding for payments? And my manager doesn't take no for an answer. And this fucking contacts were all hiding from us. Courier not very cooperative that we have to go by ourselves to pick up the cheque. We went to DOTW since we're not 100% sure if courier will collect the cheque so just to make sure. Turned out it was collected already  so we moved to Travco. I wanted to cry coz I've got atleast 10 cheques to post and allocate and we're there waiting and chatting with Mohamad. We spent an hour there and by the time we got back in the office, it's already 6:20 and I'm planning to get ready by 7pm as Costina will pick me up by 7:30 to go to the party.

I almost hit my forecast if only my two travel agents paid me this month end. My forecast collection is 1.9 million for three properties for month end, turned out I only collected 1.7 million (almost!). Next month if am still handling this segment, I'll give a lower forecast to them. 

This unbearable pressure that I felt melted away when my manager told me that I passed the rating that he told me to achieve. That I did a good job this month. Hah! Atleast something good to the ear.

Fingers crossed about that off-the-record thingy. Dreams are for free so there's no harm on it. Inshallah!

Getting addicted with groupon! Already bought several deals, wish it's worth it.
