Kuantan 310809

As some of you might know, I went to Kuantan during our last long weekend with the Cartoonz. It was our very last trip together before April flies to Scotland.

It was fun. I love documenting my friends.

Pictures, Quotes, smiles, doodles.

They mean the world to me.

They really do.

Theme of the trip?

“Think BIG”

teehee…. :)

-hit the waves-
"FASTER LA!!!"
-absolutely candid-
- love it when they smile & laugh-
-siewkuan-

-mandy-

-wishan-

-april-

-them-

-us-

From midnight McD's to lala boys.

From Sing-Out-Loud Jalur Gemilang on Merdeka night to footsie under the sheets!

From sand castles to dead crabs.

:) more photos to come.

7 I'm sorry.

The ex boyfriend used to hate the word "sorry".
Maybe because I've said it too many times.
When i read this from KHui's blog, it really touched me.
Somehow... I thought of Tzer. NOT THAT HE IS LIKE THE MAN IN THE STORY LA!!!
but the fact that he hates the word "sorry" as it doesnt mean anything when you said it too many time.

For my non-chinese-reading friends.
Bear with me, I'll translate when I can k?
Loves.

------------------------------------------------------
男孩和女孩从小就认识，男孩经常约女孩一起去村外的池塘边捉小虾，每次男孩总是满载而归，女孩却是两手空空，女孩总是失落的含着眼泪，独自一个人回到家，然后闷闷不乐。晚饭前，男孩敲响女孩家的门，女孩一见是男孩，扭头就走，男孩追上前，对女孩说：“对不起，我把你的虾都捉走了，给，我把它们养在小鱼缸里，送给你。”女孩眉头一放，慧心的笑了，就这样反复着他们纯纯的童年，转眼，他们各自成长着。
——纯纯的“对不起” 。


男孩总是喜欢戏弄女孩，经常会把女孩逗到哭，然后又去哄女孩到她笑为止，直到长大后，也是如此。
男孩经常偷偷的把女孩的自行车轮胎的气放到没有，然后躲在远处，看女孩着急的走投无路，等着女孩拨通他的手机，然后破口大骂他的小贼行为。可男孩，依旧那么喜欢这样的女孩。他窃窃的从远处走来，灰溜溜的为女孩推着那辆没了气的自行车，任由女孩在一旁发牢骚，男孩却暗自窃喜，然后委屈的对女孩说：“对不起，我知道错了。”随即，女孩便会柔弱下来，告诉男孩下次不允许那样，男孩点头，于是，那时的他们每天都充满着笑容。

—— “对不起”的快乐 。



大学毕业后，男孩和女孩各自有了工作，男孩的工作总是很忙，有时一个月都休息不到一次，而女孩总是抱怨男孩冷落了她，终于，他们有了第一次的吵架。女孩委屈的哭起来，可男孩却很理直气壮的告诉女孩：“这是为了我的工作。”这场冷战持续了很久。终于，女孩还是忍不住，主动和男孩和好了。后来很多次男孩和女孩都因为这样的小事而吵得不可开交，可每次，都是女孩先妥协。
那年，女孩生日，男孩答应女孩要给他过一个浪漫的生日，女孩欣喜不已，她在家精心打扮，等着男孩回来陪她渡过这个美妙的生日，这一等就是凌晨，女孩在睡梦中醒来，脸上挂着泪痕，男孩见到女孩，心疼的为女孩擦去脸庞的泪痕：“对不起，嫁给我好吗？”于是男孩拿出一枚戒指。

—— “对不起”也是一种承诺。



婚后，男孩的事业大有成就，经常有许多应酬，而女孩已经成为一个专职太太了，每天在家为男孩准备热菜热饭，把家里收拾的干干净净，她经常会去菜场买回一些小河虾放在鱼缸里养着，男孩总问他为什么，女孩却总是慧心的一笑。
慢慢的，男孩每次回家，身上总是充满了不同的香水味道，而每次没等女孩问，男孩总是忙着解释说应酬太多。女孩黯然，那时起，女孩不太爱说话了，也不像以前那么开朗了，她总是喜欢成天的呆在家里，抱着枕头看韩剧，然后随着剧情哭泣，夜深时，就会疯狂的大哭。以后的日子里，男孩回来时，身上的香水味只有一种味道了，女孩从来不问，可是男孩依旧说：“对不起，今天又去应酬了。”

—— “对不起”，谎言的开始。


渐渐的，男孩开始不回家，或总是在外出差，男孩的事业越来越好，身边都是奉承的人，他每天都在别人的恭维下自豪的笑着，而女孩，几乎不出门了，她总会去超市买上很多方便面，和一些必要的日用品，然后把自己关在家里，这一呆就是很久。从前，女孩会经常和男孩一起聊聊天，而现在，她孤身一人，身边没有一个可以说话的人，每次打电话问男孩什么时候回家，男孩总是仓促的回答到：“对不起，我太忙了。”女孩，失落的扣上电话，那以后她再也没有问男孩什么时候会回家。

—— “对不起”，只是个敷衍的方式。



女孩学着电视上的样子，开始打扮自己，她觉得男孩不回家，也许是看腻了她，她决定不再颓废，自己的幸福应该靠自己争取，而不是无谓的后退。
那天，女孩心血来潮，按照地址去了男孩工作的地方，那是女孩第一次去，也是唯一的一次。女孩涩涩的按下电梯，来到这个男孩经常说忙的地方，她细细的观察这个公司的每个角落，这里的一切，她都觉得很好看。终于，绕过长长的办公走廊，她来到男孩的办公室，轻轻的推开门……女孩愣住了，眼前看到的不是自己的丈夫，也不是那个经常弄坏她自行车的那个贼小子，更不是那个把虾放在小鱼缸里的男孩，而是一个正在和别的女人做爱的男人。那个女人坐在桌子上，******的发出微弱的呻吟声，那个男人，仿佛山林里饿极了的野兽……
许久，男孩才发现了女孩，男孩惊慌失措，忙把衣裤捡起来穿好。可女孩，转身离开了。男孩飞奔出去，追着女孩，那晚，大雨袭击了整个城市。女孩不顾男孩的叫喊，径直往前跑，往回家的方向跑，男孩在女孩后面大喊：“对不起，我还是爱你的，对不起，我真的只爱你。”可女孩，始终没有听见。

—— 这样的“对不起”太伤人。


男孩一直都没有找到女孩，女孩失踪很久了。男孩的世界已经一片黑暗，无心工作，无心花天酒地，他想不到女孩可以去哪里，因为女孩没有朋友，她唯一的朋友就是男孩，男孩终日守着电话机，手机24小时不关机，怕错过了女孩的电话。这一等就是半年多。
快递为男孩送来一个盒子。
男孩打开一看，里面是许多河虾的标本，有的在树叶边休息，有的在水草里躲着，各式各样的河虾标本，旁边放着一封信。

“ 我始终没有勇气再见到你，可能是我太懦弱，也或许是我根本不想见到你，我想这些『警告：注意文明用语！』应该过的没什么两样吧，我很好，我学会了离开你怎么让自己存活，我懂得了怎样赚钱养活自己，而不用每天等着你回家，为你烧一桌热腾腾的饭菜，直到凉了也不见你的人，我的手机已经不用了，因为我已经不会再为你24小时的不关机，让自己饱受辐射的折磨。我懂得怎样去爱惜自己，珍惜自己的本来应该美好的生活。我想，我是可以忘记怎么去爱你的，因为你把我的爱弄得遍地麟伤。
离婚协议书，就压在鱼缸的底下，你签完字，按照地址给我寄过来就行了。
对不起，我想我是真的累了。”

男孩按照地址找去，他满心希望能够见到女孩，然后让女孩原谅，并且告诉女孩自己不能没有她，可是打开门的却是女孩的父亲，而女孩就站在她父亲的身后——是女孩的遗像。
女孩的父亲告诉男孩，女孩在写完这封信后，跳楼自杀了，血肉一片模糊。

—— 原来“对不起”也可以是种结束。

那一年，男孩疯了。

每个人在自己的生命里头，一定会遇到一个自己真正该珍惜的人。请你好好的珍惜那一个人，不是每一句的对不起，都可以换来每一句的没关系……千万不要辜负了自己心爱的人，那对谁，都不好……把这个故事传下去，让你的朋友们知道，不要随意地说出对不起......

Camp was awesome.

Camp was awesome.

It was a tiring 3 days. But it was nonetheless FUN.

I always loved the temple.

No… not the chanting or the prayers… neither the meditations.

When it comes to these technical stuffs, I’m embarrassed to say I’d fail it all.

But the reason why I love the temple so much,

the pure innocence of the people there.

Here are the group shots. :)

Not forgetting the “artsy fartsy shot” :P

station games.

group shots!

the committee. :)

I got a new CD today. SO addicted to it now!

Will remind myself to share it here some day, once I’ve digested some of the ongoing issues.

i have a problem. :(

The other day my bosses (yes, technically there’s more. But directly there’s 2) sat me down & told me two different news.

1. I’m gonna be a permanent starting Sept!

Yay for that huh? :)

2. I have a problem. That feedback from people at work finds me unfriendly & cold, non responsive even. :(

So how now? I’ll be the 1^st to admit, my interpersonal skills are not the best (they pretty much sucked balls la). I may seem secluded; I rarely follow them out for lunch seeing that I brought my lunch. There are a lot of times which I do not know what “respond” am I suppose to give…

Come to think about it. My brain & my mouth & my face do not align. It’s not that I don’t like to mingle around. I’d like to be friendlier, I’d like to have buddies to chat to or chat about.

But my main flaw: words coming out from my mouth seem to hit the wrong places and seem to never send the right message! It’s frustrating! I’ve pissed off more people that I rmb by my so-called “straightforwardness”.

How now?

I had this camp last weekend in temple. It was nice it was warm. But being a camp, we rub shoulders, there were issues, there were problems. And I find myself hurting some people, which weren’t my intentions at all! and up until now. I KNOW THEY'RE NOT HAPPY, I know its smthg I said. BUT I’m STILL OBLIVIOS WHAT DID I SAY WRONG?!!

Urgh. I need help. Someone pls knock some sense into me.

15 Malaysia

15Malaysia is a short film project.
It consists of 15 short films made by 15 Malaysian filmmakers.
These films not only deal with socio-political issues in Malaysia, they also feature some of the best-known faces in the country, including actors, musicians and top political leaders.
You may think of them as funky little films made by 15 Malaysian voices for the people of Malaysia.

i'm a avid believer. :)

dreams

Love. Believe. Wish. Laugh. Cherish. Courage. Live. Dream.
Don’t words like these somehow trigger happy childhood memories?

I use to love the word “Dream” a lot.
It was plastered on wall last time.

The word somehow gives us all a lil breathing space.
A lil corner to dwell issues seemingly humongous at that time.
Silly petty issues now.
But that’s the magic of young innocence huh?
:)

The old parchment effect has these “time shell effect”

When I looked at this picture, there’s a sudden nostalgic.

It felt as though these words have left me for some time.

so for whoever that helped...
:) they made my day.

and for the **** who still has my hp.
boo you! for thinking my life isnt important!
i had so many issues n problems... lalala...
and i need my phone to resolve this issues!!!
i feel kinda neglected today.
:(

of all the stuff....

yeeesh....
bloog test... xrays... dizzy... nausea... sakit kepala.... fever... flu... cough...
and...
guess who decided to join?

my menses came... *urgh!

!@#$%^&!@#$!!

at home

mom and dad are rather pissed at me for going to the hosp alone.
O.O

i was like... come on la! both my parents are in the "high risk" age group. bring them there to a tiny tent crammed with 60 sick people... not confirmed H1N1 or not???

logic la?!

right?
ish.

why get mad at me for?
:(

i have to admit, there were certain times, when i was in the room, staring at the needles n drops and sick people. i wanted to like be a little girl again, cry and yell for daddy.

alot of small kids were sick there. i tink the flu is jus too serious and fast. small kids on saline drops. thats the worst scene to watch. they don't understand. they stare at their mom/dad... when it starts to hurt, they start crying. and in disbelief they stare at their parents again. as their heartbroken, tired parent forcefully held them down, they wail and they cry. i tink its just hard for the parents. honestly its a torment.

being a goverment hosp, there isnt enough beds. as the kids slept on the beds, the parents jus grab a stool and sat there with them. conforting them. watching them as they slept. carefully making sure that they dun sleep on the needle in their hand. not causing them more pain.

sumtimes, regretfully i do not give my parents enough credit and respect. being me. i sumtimes lose my temper. and unfortunately it happens.

Its really dreadful actually. to be brough up with the best intentions. i learn to be patient, well mannered and polite to others. but when it comes to my family, my temper seems to be running short.

i'm still learning. it may sound like an excuse. when i say i'm not a saint, i'm not buddha. but i am learning.

hopefully, i will learn to control my emotions better. hopefully, with his teachings, i will learn to be more self observed and more wary of my actions.

blood test, xrays, IV drops... urgh!

hey guys. I'm clear from H1N1!

got me rather worried & frustrated these days. i'm down with a serious case of flu, fever, cough, b0rderline asthma attack and breathing difficulties.

finished work today early around 6 smthg. rush back to GH Klang - Hosp Tengku Ampuan Rahimah for a check. Since this H1N1 oandemic, all GH have set up crisis centre in their premises. These "crisis centres" are also called PUSAT DEMAM. ran by mostly young newbie doctors.

reached there 8pm...waited....
1. went to "station 1" check temperature - 38.6 Celsius deg!!
2. check bloog pressure.... rather low. explained the dizziness & passing out in the toilet. =.= Dont ask. I'm getting really accustomed with my office toilet floors nowadays.
3. sent me to the crisis docs. wait for 2 hours there! because they give priority pass to elderly and children below age 5... den sum other bangang buntut sial punya people started following.. soon EVERYONE wanted to cut cue! ISH!!
4. finally i got to the doc around 11 smthg. thank god for the hunky charming indian doc. :) anyhoo... he diagnose me with a gonna-be respiratory attack. and transfered me to a yellow zone.
5. Ambulans came... like 40 minutes later. when to the yellow zone, also called Semi Critical Area. LOL. when i saw the sign i kinda freak. O.O semi critical?!
6. they transfered me to the asthma centre, took my blood for testing. *eeeeekkkk!!* needles! after that the IV drops came. like as if sticking a needle in me to take blood isnt bad enough!! (i so wanna cry for mommy & daddy!!)
7. sent me off to the xray room, but not before the ever awkward question of "are u sexually active?" and "are you expecting that you might be pregnant?" question. I had to like stare *mata terbeliak* and answer... NOOOOOOooooooo.... he smiled.
8. stripped down n changed to them blardy cold hosp garment where they tie behind you and ur buttocks are like NOT COVERED. O.O yucks. did the xray. not a very nice feeling.
9. sent to the nebulizer room. that wasnt anything new la. jus sit there and "breath".
then it was back to the yellow zone. wait for my test results.

at 2.15am. they finally called my name. by that time i was curled up asleep already. cleared me from H1N1. then they took up my xray. pointed at some grey fuzzy area in my lungs and said " u have some infections here..." and put me on more antibiotics.

its 3 am now. i'm beyond tired.
the xray kinda have this really uneasy after effects too. i wanna puke.
urgh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Wl3firJQk

the video was shot at the kuala lumpur performing arts centre. yasmin and ho yuhang co-directed it. the shoot involved about 120 people. many had so much fun they postponed prior engagements to stay the entire day. some were moved to tears when the day was over.

http://endroog.com/2008/05/16/report-malaysian-artistes-for-unity/

Malaysian Artistes For Unity is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit national unity project made possible by the participation of over 120 notable Malaysians.

Enlisted to the project over a short period of two weeks in April 2008, these participants range from artistes, celebrities, arts activists, media-personalities, musicians, dancers, sportsmen, filmmakers, web designers, producers, technicians, poets, models and more.

All participants contributed their effort on a pro-bono basis. The project has a production budget of exactly zero.

The project is centered on two things: (1) a multi-artistes recording of an original racial unity song; and (2) a music video of that song featuring over 50 notable Malaysians.
When completed, both the song and the video will be broadcasted and distributed to the public for free via traditional media channels as well as the Internet.

What is its objective? The project seeks to celebrate cultural diversity and the ideal of Bangsa Malaysia through video and music. Its central message is one of racial unity. By being made freely available to the public, the project is also a gift from all the participants to the nation.

What is the song? The song is entitled ‘Here In My Home’. Pete Teo wrote the song especially for the project. Although it is primarily an English language composition, it features 3 other languages [Malay, Mandarin and Tamil] and is sung by 16 different artistes. Adflin Shauki will be producing a predominantly Malay language version of the song in the second phase of the project.

What is the video? Co-directed by Yasmin Ahmad and Ho Yuhang, the video was shot at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre on the 24th of April. Other than the 16 singers featured on the song, over 30 other notable Malaysians also made cameo appearances. Technicians and production crew numbered over 40 people. The video will premier to a nationwide audience at the AIM 2008 awards night on the 3rd of May.

Who is Involved? The list of participants includes numerous Malaysian household names. It also features many who are unknown outside of the sub-communities in which they work. The intention is to be as inclusive and representative as possible, in that the project not only reflects the racial diversity of Malaysia, but also of the manifold sub-communities that together constitute the nation.

The following is a full list of project participants:
Artistes [Singers] Adflin Shauki / Awie / Ning Baizura / Jaclyn Victor / Reshmonu / Pete Teo / Atilia / Jason Lo / KLG Sqwad / Altimet / Suki / Daniel Lee / Nikki Palikat / Melina William

How will it be distributed? Both the song and the music video can be downloaded and streamed from various sites on the Internet for free. A project website will be set up to provide, amongst other things, project information and a list of download / streaming distribution platforms – including music portals, video sharing sites, current affairs news sites and personal blogs.

one last time.

The office is organizing a ceremony in memory of the late Yasmin Ahmad & to send prayers for her today after work.
It’s been almost a week now since we lost her, yet the emptiness still lingers.
In her untouched room, the emails we received in comfort, urging us to no longer mourn but to remember & celebrate her, sms and tributes, newspaper clippings.
It’s getting settled now as we grasp reality.

It’s been difficult although I’ve only knew her for less that half a year.
Yet she has nonetheless impacted all of us.
I realized I speak of Yasmin more as a fan & an acquaintance rather than her being my boss.
Its odd ain’t it? I’ve loved her ads, her movies.
And having to be here right now, there’s just such a shame to not have known her better, but then again it’s been such an honour to have known her at all.

It’s been very heavy and solemn in the office.
HR has posted emails, write ups, photos, newspapers clippings and quotes of her at our walkways.
Usually we post up ads or reminders there for ads that we strive for.
Now it’s a reminder to us of what Yasmin has taught us so far.

Anyways, so back to the ceremony, it’s actually a Muslim ceremony they called Tahlil.
A holy occasion as fellow Muslim Leo Burnetters pay their last respect & send their prayers.
Guess it’s kind of like a “closure” for all of us. That we should all…. Move on.

Although it’s a Muslim ceremony, we were all kindly informed of this ceremony.
In respect & to remember her, us non-muslim wore baju kurung today.
Just for the fun of it! Yasmin always wore baju kurung.
I heard they’re gonna make a more “general” tribute session for her soon.
For Yasmin’s signature “Muhibah” idealogy, we were trilled!

I have only left 1 set of baju kurung, and its awful pink.
Knowing me, I didn’t like the set.
But yesterday night as I took the set out of my closet, I smiled.
All of the sudden, it didn’t look THAT bad. Maybe coz now it has a purpose.

Striding in my pink outfit today in the office,
I spotted a few more of my colleagues too dressed in our national costume.

:) Malays non Malays alike.

There’s this warm fuzzy feeling today despite the still empty feeling of lost.

Guess the storyteller’s story did come true.

It’s just rather sad that it had to wait till she went away to finally realized it.
