is not, but its ok still

So the previous post I mentioned that I'm away for the Korean siblings for tuition, there was hiccup in between that delayed the class.

If you know Seri Maya at Wangsa Maju, that's one of the landmark for direction. Initially the parent, I address her Cheh, asked if I know where is Seri Maya, so I replied yes. Then, if i could recall, she just gave me her unit's location and so I went.

The hiccup begin when I stumbled at Seri Maya's guard house, I was there 10minutes earlier afraid that I need time to get to the destination. I was at the visitor's lane while checking in, there were approximately 4cars behind mine, honning. I made my way to the opposite site, there were 5guards approaching me because the unit number I gave was weird. Cheah told me J-08-05, which means Block J, 8th floor and unit 5, but the guards claimed that there is no 8th floor for block J. So I called up Cheah for clarification, she again told me Jblock, and so on.. Mind you, Koreans' English are just heavy for you to digest :) It took me 3 times to asked her the direction, but guess what in the end?

me: Cheah, I'm at Seri Maya guard house already, if you can come down and meet me?
ch: no no no, not Seri Maya, no Seri Maya, I at Villa Wangsa Mas, no Seri Maya.
(imagine her Korean accent!)

I made a huge U-turn hoping that I can make my way there, because I remembered one of my ex-student from Jin's Academy told me that she stays there, and she drew a rather simplified map with significant landmark, it was in my memory. I did make my way there, although I made another U-turn, because when I was at one location, the building is near in my sight, but it took me ages to get there :(

Cheah asked how would I want my payment like, she insist of paying me once a week and it will be on Fridays.

p/s : my students share the same surname as mine, it made me feels like a family!

aiks.

satisfy

Although my 3D2N stay at Awana has ended, (family is still up there), I'm literally satisfied with the trip. I guess because I've done with the accounts and had enough of the amount of relaxation I should have. Anyways people, I'm good now, really good. And I can't wait for this coming weekend :)

I'm off to my 'new' students' house in less than 5minutes, just to let you people, (if I've loyal readers) I'm an international tutor now. I'm being offered 3 more students by my ex-boss, ain't it great?! You can't deny but YES! They are Koreans, teaching 2 kids from Sayfol International @ Seri Maya Condo. Its an everyday class for both of the siblings :) And now I'm to announce my another student, she is my EX-BOSS, she needs speaking and comphrehension classes to brush up her english so that she can converse better. I'm feeling oh-so-good now.

Signing off and will be back in action later after my 1st day of class ya! stay tune.

mist

It has been long since the last time I'm here with the family, at Awana :) I missed out the previous years' gathering as I was reluctant to joined. And now when I'm back here, I feel realx. Ya, I mean it, its so relaxing with the people around me and I really love the weather here (for these 2days) It was so so misty that we had to drive on the road at 10km/hr!

So, the initial planned was, eugene fetch me up to Awana, but after much considerations and some hiccups, it didn't go on. We went Victoria St. for a nice catch up cum dinner. It was rather good as his hp was in hotline, friends calling again and again to confirm the later plan. Poppy, Eddy's house, Genting Gohtong Jaya. I prayed hard that they can make it to Genting so that I can go Awana, so it happened. :D

The bunch of us had great laugh at Desmond's aprtment, yesterday was with another bunch of mates, Eugene, Felix, Desmond, Edison, Ken, Pui Yee and consider 1st time joining the bunch Terry. I bet everyone of us had a good laugh whilst playing the drinking game.

******************************************

I really can feel the holiday spirit in me, after all the stress and sleepless night for that piece of horror thing. I can now feel my body has been lifted up, having a time now by the swimming pool on my own, drinking a cup of freshly brewed coffee is really really wonderful, and of course at this kind of weather, i can never feel it back at the hectic city of KL.

The bunch of kids are having great time at Genting while the aunts and and few rather 'old' cousins are back at the apartment unit chit chatting and a game or two of Rummy :) Awana will always be our second home for the family. Its the time where all of us are out from the city and get together to have bonding session.

I grow up from here, its been a good 10 years :)

bad start good end.

I had the most jinx moment through out my entire 20 years of life yesterday! It was so jinx till it made me not to believe bad luck is as if like a chain, linking one after another =.='

I'm not being superstitious as we know everything happens for a reason, its whether you accept it or not. So yesterday, I knew the car's petrol tank needed to be refilled (it was almost empty), and with my own assumption, I know it can reaches the nearby petrol station even the meter was beyond the "E" sign. My planned was to go to Caltex and withdraw cash because I left just mere few bucks in the purse, not even enough to pay a quarter tank of petrol. The ATM machine was out of order when I've reached there, I've no money, so I thought, and try my luck to drive out here to another petrol station which is approximately 1KM away from here. So I drove off.

I met a junction half way and I felt that the car wasn't right, it started to jerk and jerk and it was like the engine its getting weaker and weaker. I managed to made a quick U-Turn, hoping that it can take me back to the petrol station. I've gotta make another U-turn, but the car totally went malfunctioned IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROSS JUNCTION! That moment, I was calm, I don't know why, but I was really calm. There were 4 cars behind, a lorry was exactly at the back of mine. Few cars overtook me and left, but the lorry driver and another colleague drove to the other site and helped me pushed the car to ease the traffic. I quickly ran to Caltex and asked for an empty bottle, but failed. Then the 2 guys who helped me were refilling the petrol tank as well, spared me an empty bottle, :"nah ah moi, ambik ni, isi dua ringgit dah cukup, cukup awak pandu sini isi minyak." I grabbed that bottle, paid 2bucks, walked over to the tank with face full of confusion :( I attempted to put the tip of the hose into the mouth of the bottle, I guessed the force of ejecting the petrol was so strong that the petrol spilt out from the bottle, my hand smells. The helpful guy came and gave a hand again.

I made my way to my car, filled in the petrol tank, start up the engine. That point of time, I really felt the importance of 2dollars. I spoke to myself, even if I drive to Caltex, what can I do? I've no money, ATM out of service.. Without any thoughts, I drove there, ATM was okay already =.=' So I withdrew the money, pump and left.

And ya, you know I'm struggling with company's account, and its still not settle yet. That morning really worsen my mood. Not only that, I left my access key in the office, means I can't go in to office. I realised after I left a very important contact number.

family is love

Family.

The very basic group of a community. Whether you like it or not, family is always family, it will attach to you even till the ends of the earth.

Going shopping with the family is always fun (for me). From departmental store to the supermarket, fill with good laughs and opinions. As you may know, mum has 3 daughters and a son. So you can imagine mum is so happy with all kinds of opinions on her sense of fashion. Dad will always be the one asking, :" there got coffee bean or starbucks or not one? If got, only I'll go." So we will always choose places which have these 2. But, his condition is not just that, we have time limit, depending on the day. So we girls will cherish every second and to make our wises choice in any items we want :D

That shopping condition applies when we are together as family. If we are not with them, like yesterday, this condition was in vained, because the shoppers were Dad, Mum and Nigel. Dad has no other reason/excuses to leave my mum behind doing all the briefs hunting, shoe seeking and groceries all by her own. So he tagged along walking together. Why mum wants dad to caltivate shopping habit is because dad needs a serious exercise that doesn't cause him sweat a bit. But mum is also afraid for another matter because the consequences of him shopping is ended up getting lots of junkies for the house. :)

But nonetheless, we stil love shopping with dad.


Isetan Food Market.


I believe you will love this.
Its cheap, they are selling 50% off for these.
There are few more items in the bag :)


Its public holiday peeps, go get yourself gear up with fun activities, be it just jogging or running in the treadmile ;)

guilt strikes

Have you ever encountered in a situation whereby you need help so urgently from someone (a particular person), but you just don't know how to ask them for help?

I'm a bubbly person as what I'm being told, so I always put on a face that I'm friendly to other people, I've no awful feelings with anyone. But I've always forgotten one thing in my life, that when I always recall it, I find it stupid and degraded my personality, I've regretted but lesson learned.

I'm stuck with accounts for the past months if you may know, it was horrible. And I'm actually still stuck now, basically the few dreaded accounts were finally done but just to get it balance.

This happened day before yesterday, which was on Tues, called up a high school friend which I used to hang out together then. I greeted once it was answered, her tone of voice was rather not welcoming when she heard my voice, well, I don't know , maybe she is just like that. So I went straight to the point and told her everything. She said she could help a bit but it'll be right after her work and will look on the accounts sheets I fax to her. Ok, with very high hope I prayed that she can do it. But when the clock strikes 1am, she told me by phone we can do much and I felt that I just don't want to trouble her, so I said its alright, I'll see what else I can do. So we hung up. By that moment, something stirred my heart. I remembered for some silly reason she was the one I scolded her very sternly in front of "I've-forgotten-how-many-pairs-of-eye are watching". It was a silly incident, to me. I reckon that she had put that thing in her mind for almost quite a year, and I really believe that she still remembers that. That moment when I hung up the phone, I felt so guilty, its for real :(

After that Tuesday night, she called me very often to check on my account, encourages me not to worry and everything will be fine. And I really wanna thank God for having such a friend who doesn't put my wrongs in her heart. I had a sudden urge to call her though, to apologise for what I've done. But maybe when we are going out for drinks I'll let everything out.

Those were the days, ya..

Need to really get things done by tonight, hopefully. I wanna have a relaxing public holiday tomorrow la.

********************************************
On a happier note, my black glossy Dell Inspiron 14 has finally being hugged in my warmth embrace. I've gotten my hands on it but still working on the Windows 7 thing which I'm still quite blur.

Happy Holiday peeps, despite all the sorrows and down moments, you gotta live a life :)

a hope that will brighten the days ahead

I'm feeling totally blue now, never in my life I'm in this current situation. Its as if I'm lost in a valley, searching my way out and at the same time fearing what will happen next. I now know the danger of procrastination, God must have spared a whole lot of chances to me, too many that now He has to put this thing a full stop. God has been too kind to me, I took things for granted, hence, this conclusion.

What ever I am about to say now is useless, regret for the things that I've done are not gonna mend things back together. If you want others to look to you, you gotta perform. If you don't want people to pint point on your errors, do it right. If you don't want people to nag on you, do the things that please people rather than doing your own way. If you don't want to meet the big cane, obey the rules and you'll be saved.

The current situation I am facing right now is dragging me to an edge of hill, falling anytime soon. And here again I wanna say is, I hope everything is in hand this evening.

My prayer to God :" Lord, I've bared the consequences now, I know the feeling, I plead that You'll let me go from this situation. Amen.

'heaven'-dazs


How does it feel?
:)

Does your jaw drops till the floor? It feels good just watching it doesn't it? LOL. Of course, it cost a BOMB!

Oh well, to be honest, it doesn't scratch a bit of my pocket though, neither any of my family members. The RM150 vouchers were complimentary for Jamie, envy or not? Haha!

Raspberry Berries & Cream is my favorite.

******************************************

So now, stress is on neck level, barely can breathe. But I must, definitely overcome everything now. I'm blessed to have friends around that lend a helping hand, despite all the last minute hassle. I really want to put all these a full stop, if I'm allow, TONIGHT! I want to have peaceful public holiday, put aside all the blinking numbers. I really want to shout 'I'M DONE'!

Put my hands together now and pray real hard that the angelic friend of mine Jaccelyn will work wonders on the numbers, ring me up and say :" Michelle, I'm done, its all DONE!"

Amen.
