One can never forget his birthplace. It's not the same elsewhere. Place where you once used to play rough around the neighbourhood. Place where you find comfort where you don't even afraid to sleep alone outside. Place where you feel the most freedom!
I was back home for the weekend again. I was supposedly follow my BF & his friends to a friend's wedding in Muar. however upon hearing that my dad's health condition aren't good, I decided to stay home. Yet, I did not do much of what I planned to do since my dad did not need much of my help.
We (Alvin, LS, Wei Kee & Zhong Qiu) leave in a Saga by 1pm. I was so hungry from the previous day & did not have my breakfast since morning that I feel I'm on the negative verge. Luckily, we stop in Bkt Tinggi for lunch b4 moving on. There are a lot of vehicles in M'cca entering from the toll right to M'cca town. LS & friends were in dismay when we reach Melaka Baru to find the chicken rice shop has sold their last piece of chicken meat... Therefore, we went straight down to Jonker St to have a bowl of Durian cendol each after checking into Chong Hoe Hotel.
Wei Kee & Zhong Qiu fall in love with crafted boken sold in Jonker St that they keep eyeing them, while Alvin keep reminding LS to buy a 4x4 cube. Thereafter, we continue to walk leisurely along the pathway till more stall vendors came to set up their stalls for the night business. There are really a lot of amazing things that attracts both tourist & locals but time's up for us to go back, shower & leave for Winnie's wedding.
I was tired by 10pm that I took a short nap after setting my alarm at 2311 to open the house door for LS & Alvin. I missed call LS in vain, so I guessed that he might be sleeping in the car. What I didn't expect when I hear the bell sound at 2332 was that LS was drunk & was vomiting when I went outside to have a look!!!
Wei Kee & Zhong Qiu stood outside for about 20mins while Alvin, me & my mom clean the mess. What I didn't notice was LS vomited on his right rear door when I tried to close the door. GROSS! I have to run to the back of my house again for another bucket of water & cloth to clean those stomach content. Lye Song later amused me by his drunkard walk. He walked to the middle of the road unstably. Hahaha!!!
I push Pa's wheelchair to the front to escort Lye Song to the foot of the staircase leading to my bedroom. He was sooooo dizzy & feels like vomiting again that I let him rest a while in that wheelchair.
Upon waking up the next day, he couldn't recall how he enter his car & was still feeling dizzy! Terrible! He came to my sister's room at 0530 & woke me up! I couldn't sleep till 6am. By the clock rang of 7am, I was awake again & went down for a light breakfast. I pack my thins & clear those unwanted clothes with the help of Yeei & Errk into new plastic bags to give to Tzu-Chi since we'll be passing by later.
At lunch, LS asked his friends to recall again on the account last night. Alvin told him that he vomited 5 times & repeat each location... Haha!!! We all ate 40 chic rice balls & 1 whole chic which cost only RM 27.20. I take away 100 chic rice balls with 2 chic which cost me only RM 49.00! Damn cheap, half the price of He Ji in Jonker St.
My family couldn't finish the 2 chickens... We went back my house after both WK & ZQ checked out. Zhong Qiu did not sleep the whole night as it was too cold. Alvin only slept at 2am coz it is not his bed. LS & ZQ chatted with Pa for a hour. We only proceed our trip at 1pm. They went jln2 to clock tower & Jonker St again & didn't forget to buy boken while LS & Alvin went for a haircut.
Just before we make decision to leave M'cca, LS suggested eating Nyonya food. Of all 3 Nyonya restaurants (Ole Sayang, Nyonya Makko, Nyonya Indah) in Melaka Raya close, only Banyonya was open for biz. So I suggested Udang Masak Lemak nenas, Pongteh, Cencaluk omelet, itik tim & Kangkung Belacan. We finished our food at 5pm. By 6pm, we exit the toll in Ayer Keroh. Just after passing by Pedas/Linggi exit, the highway was jammed till after Seremban exit! That was a whole 4 hours journey until we reach Bkt Tinggi at 945pm! I was asleep in the car for an hour...
What's more, those kaki game want to play game some more! I joined them for web surfing for an hour. By the time we finish at 11pm, my stomach was growling & supper we had! Fat alr la... Ystd's every meal was full! I managed to keep awake till 1am b4 I fall asleep due to my wet hair. Today, wake up at 9am - 8 hours' sleep.
Wonderful Melaka, quiet trip as LS's friends don't talk much.

Dilemmas
Sometimes, we just couldn't decide for sure what we want in life. In my case - my career, the type of house that I want to live in, the exact words that I want to write.
Life is sometimes a spider web- the more we struggle, the more tangled we are. To keep cool, we need to relax. The reason we know how to relax is due to the amount of experience we have gained. Sometimes, I pity young children nowadays. They live in such technological advancement & social security obstruction that they are kept in a place so limited that they have so much more not to be explore.
My boyfriend's youngest brother is 14.5 years old now. However, I was so surprised that he was so excited upon seeing earthworm ystd! He have not seen one b4 his whole life! I can see that he has a very protective mother. Yet this is too much! I already make a decision not to let my children be taken care of by her.
Same goes to the spoilt children I teach in Botanic resort Club- the place where I work. I observed that they are so timid that it took ages for some of them to learn swimming. Perhaps, I was taught in pool as deep as 12.5ft. Whereby, Botanic pool deepest is only 2.00m aka 6ft+. I remembered that I'm always in frustration teaching swimming to those so timid that they don't even want to put their head into the water.
I've written that Lye Song & I were planning to buy a house. Actually, I was the one who suggested to invest in buying a house since LS has abundant of surplus every month that he'll still waste into buying unnecessary things. Yet, he doesn't have a clear view of what type of house to buy. Till now, none of us are serious buyer. It's already nearly a year. I wonder when my feeling will come.
LS friends once say that he likes to complain. HE IS! There just seem no hose to suit him! He wants to stay in an apartment, yet I don't quite agree with this idea as we need to move out again after we have children. Unless, I confirm that I'm moving back to M'cca with my children while LS stays here for work. If he's willing to sacrifice, he'll have to travel back to M'cca every fortnight for us.
My career - I still have not get a finite answer. I already decide to progress towards this career, yet where else can I proceed into. Must I work in educational related institution only, or can I work in private practice? Is there any other place that I can reach out for more people?
I'm passing my time waiting. How old am I on the inside? Too old? Coz I consumed too much time waiting for the right opportunity to come to me...

Cruel Man-Killing Sharks
Water stands 70% of the globe, yet how much do human care about other life in the World? This topic I'm focusing on is whales & sharks, the most fearsome predator int the sea.
Having Discovery Channel & animal Planet at home, documentaries have given us insights of underwater world. Wanna guess how many of us appreciate it? Well, I'd better not know! Ystd's documentary was shark killing. Imagine you yourself being captured by some species smarter than you, cut off all your limbs, then throw you back into the rubbish bin, leaving you to die.
Would you still do the same to our fellow friends in nature?
How heartless are all humans living on earth?
Damaging any of our ecosystem will erupt other living beings... Haven't anyone discover that???
This shows how stupid or ignorant is human race!
When one says big, we could only imagine big. Yet, after watching ystd's documentary, I was shocked to hear how many sharks were caught every day for their fins! Let's put it this way (for more impact) - We kill 1000 humans every day around the world, including babies who have soft white skin. EACH & EVERY DAY!
What do you think would happen to the human population?
Well, if it gets lesser, I would be more happy! Less problems created! I couldn't agree more!!!
Worse still, shark killing occurs because of the belief the nutrient human benefit from it's fin! They don't even have the right to own their limbs!!! Pooh!
Same goes to human trafficking around the world - some humans are just ill-luck that they don't own they body. Else, how would prostitute & child trafficking occur?
This is a thought for us to think...

When Opportunity Comes, Just Grab It!
The title above was inspired by Lye Song, my BF.
These couple of days, I (we) have been rushing aces going places to settle car loan finance, get release letter, e-batal, pay for inspections of exchange programme, book wanted car, prepare salary slips & supporting income docs etc...
I couldn't sleep last night though my eyelids were very heavy b4 11pm. Went to bed at 11pm, yet was awake by mosquito bites by 1am. Upon waking, my mind was focusing on how would I pay off my 7 year's loan... I have so much commitment that I couldn't survive without min RM 4k monthly!

Long, long ago
Remember this song's title? It is a cheerful, simple & short all-time favourite song.
Today is Wednesday. When the week reach this day, I feel that we r going towards the end of the week. Ystd, LS told me of National car exchange programme. When I went to ask this noon, I got a shock of being told that tmrw is the last day to trade in old car for Proton cars. However, Perodua still have not taken the voucher's privilege away.
Lye Song & me has been rushing half of the day to get my car driven back to Meru showroom's branch, & I later went to settle my Iswara's loan of RM 2187.06. Due to decentralized RHB Delta loan payments, I was unable to check my loan settlement balance not get release letter.
Not only I have to call HQ in PJ (Jln 222), I was referred to Malacca branch to get both. By 3pm, it was raining quite heavily & I almost finish calling banks. Yet, I was in confused state & unable to make decision...
We had lunch & was home by 3:40pm. After a few calls & a short thinking process, I finally make decision to trade-in my Iswara 1.for RM 4000. (Since tmrw is the last day, yet, I was unable to settle my car loan & provide release letter & e-batal, the salesman offered to buy my car for RM 1k lesser)
Truly, this is my first time buying a car. I felt a feeling like a new man. I wonder how trilled would I be on the day I am acknowledge that I could drive my car home. My car colour selection - metallic granite grey. New saga 1.3L B-line. (After considering whether to take metallic grey or solid white)
Though my favourite colour is white, I couldn't afford to buy a white colour car as I am too lazy to wash car once a week. Sometimes, not even once a month! Now, my next purchase would be red motorcycle! A white-washed house would fit my white selection perfectly!
Coming to think about that, it seems that though I would like to own a house, my mind & financial do not seem ready. Else, I would be doing tonnes of research of quality, price & my preferences; just like what I did b4 deciding to further study...
The reason why I put this blog's title as "Long, long ago" is the feel of life in me when I was studying in UPM. Which was 3 years ago. Quite some time gone, isn't it? Feeling of working hard to occupy my time; for my likings & going after my preferences. Chasing after my ambitions...
What's next? When will I aim for it???
