I went for a bangkok trip last Sun with my mom and her friends. 3 days 2 nights trip. All i can say about Bangkok is :
-Shopping Paradise, especially the Chatuchak ( weekend market )and Siom Rum Night Market. You can get almost everything under one roof. Souvenirs,flowers,kitchen stuff, bags,CLOTHES, from the smallest thing to the biggest thing. EVERYTHING! Btw,the things there are cheap,reasonable and affordable. That actually keeps me buying for more and more stuff! OMG. The first day we went to Bangkok,we spent 4++ to 5 hours ( excluding lunch ) in Chatuchak and about 2-3 hours ( including dinner at a fine dining restaurant, we ordered so many foods and the most popular and MUST-TRY in Thailand is Tom Yam Gung with lobsters) in Siom Rum at night. How cool is that? My leg is damn tired but still have to walk. The shopping complexes like Platinium Fashion Mall ( 6th floor!! 4 hours on that + 2-3 hours ), Central World ( about 3 hours) and MBK ( almost like Sungai Wang, about 3-4 hours there). From the 'hours' you see,i guess you already know how shopaholic we are!
-Good food, yeah,the must-try Tom Yam Gung. Its very popular in Thailand. Its so original and taste a lot better than KL. Definetely a must try food in Thailand. haha. Other foods like pineapple fried rice, and fried food is not bad as well. The other must-try drink,is COCONUT! we had our coconut bird nest at a restaurant,and its only 500 baht ( RM50 ). For us,its cheap and affordable. haha
-Taxis and 'tuk-tuk'. Taxi are our daily transport. We use it everyday and everywhere we go. Believe me,the fare is not expensive. The BEST PART is, the 6 of us have to get into 1 taxi!! 1 infront and the other 5 at the back seat. So,its really hard to get in. And some of our leg cramps too. We cant even move. But still,its a very memorable and fun journey. I dont think we are allowed to do that in KL, without seatbelts. Haha. The drivers is polite and friendly too, which you wont see drivers like that in KL. if you know what i mean. The 'tuk-tuk' there is dangerous and risky. I heard from my mom's fren and she said that they could bring you into a 'lorong' and ask for your money. They might even hurt you if you dont. Eventhough a man also,they wont scared. So,we rather take the taxi even we have to pay more. Besides,the way they drive is dangerous and risky. Fast, unstable, driving recklessly and without following the rules. Dont feel that safe. 'Tuk-tuk' is actually a motorcyle in the front and 3 seats behind. dunno how to describe. haha
Thats basically what i think i should post it here.

last day.....
I'm going to remember this date. The day i left my first company. When the first day i came in, i'm glad that i got in. Bcoz this is good opportunity to explore working environment and new beginning, so-called la.. At first, a bit nervous. Thought of cruel manager or some weird ppl around me. But later,i found out that i was actually surrounded by a lot of IT ppl, good colleagues ( including him ) and nice working place. Seriously,i learnt a lot from my job. Responsibility ( meet my target of job everyday ), punctuality ( must reach the office by 8am. but usually i reached the off at 7.45am. For this company,attendance and puntuality is damn important.), team work ( work together as a team. win together lose together,team mates) disipline ( must know how to handle ur job well and even a small mistake,u will get some lessons from ur manager ) and the most important is, i've learnt some basic rules and blah blah about work and that makes me easier when i REALLY work in the future. A good exposure always brings out a better ME in the future. haha. Btw,i learnt some facts about IT too. More to computers. Got friends there so if there's any problems with my computer at home, i will definetely call him! lol. And..i got to learn some Australian accent too. Now,i know how to speak the way that Australian and New Zealander speak.
MORNINIG : I went to work as usual today. Turning on my comp, surfing the net for like 45 mins as 'warm-up', and start to check my daily worksheets. Then,start my jobs normally. I took a few pics just for fun. haha. nothing to do right?
NOON: Lunch time? last night,i planned to go lunch with the whole team,kinda like farewell la. But later today,i feels like not going out with them. I dont want to let them know today is my last day, ESPECIALLY HIM! seriously,i dont need any farewell,i just wanna left this place peacefully. Its ok if no one knows rather than the whole team knows about it. I prefer that way. Guess i cant forget the day i left HIM like this,without revealing the truth! or even a goodbye. i dont want to say goodbye to him, bcoz i cant take it. So,dont blame me for not telling you, Cedric.
5.00pm: Gosh,my most memorable moment at Datacom. I felt sad and at the time nervous. Its been almost 6 months with the company. Gosh.. I gave one of my friend some pens la,bcoz i dun wan to keep them. And he said 'Eh,sourvenir ah? oh,today your last day right?. I was like, SHIT, like that also u know? i just give u some pens. Then, Cedric overheard wat i said and look at me. I never look at him and pretend to talk with my fren. Then the whole team knows it. They ask 'oh,today your last day ah?, and then, Cedric asked 'today your last day? i thought it's next week?'. In a very happy way,i answered 'no la,today is my last day.'. I started to exchange hp no with other frens. Its so sad to left them. Didnt cry la, just handshake with them. My hand is cold and shaking. Talk for about 10 mins and packing up my stuff. Say goodbye is really hard. Especially to him. So,i wave goodbye and head to the door. All of them wave at me and said goodbye. Haha. thats it.
P.S: Will upload some pics later on.

Leaving my work place thus friday = Leaving HIM

Thats the equation for the week. And,i dont really enjoy my time or so-called last week at my company. Its all HIM. I already did my best to CARE and BE NICE to him. But,unfortunately,he just wont allow me to do so. Its basically a waste of time. Why cant he show me that he care too? or at least say a hi/good morning, or even just a smile. Is that so hard? Last month,we still doing good. We talk each day and laugh and have fun. We had a lot of good time. But why he had changed? I had no idea. Now,we dont even greet each other,or smile or even laugh. Its like you and i are already going separate way. Come on,this is my last week! I dont know when can we see each other again. So,lets spend this week with happy memories. I know,it will never happen. I just pretend to be happy and doing my job. And,i wouldn't care what he thought of me anymore! Bcoz i know i have lost hopes in you....a long time ago...i just want to spend my time peacefully and happily. NOT regrets,broken hearted or sad.

A swEet meMorY....
Haha..finally,i got my "long-lost" friend back,Padmini. I cant imagine how simple it was. I always said to myself that its impossible for me to have her as my friend back bcoz it's been 1 year and 2 months we doesn't talk to each other. I feel uneasy sometimes coz we're best friend since Form 2. She's someone i cant forget..i saw her everyday in my class..i can see her laughing,making jokes and spend times with her friends..but the worst thing is,i cant share it with her. I cant talk to her!! Its very uncomfortable.. I saw her everyday but cant talk to her??? u wont understand me coz u are not me. Believe me..if u were me,u did the same thing. It has been a burden to me since last year..at first,i try to talk to her bout this.. But,bcoz i'm too EGO,i'm afraid to do so. So,i did not take any action till 30 July 2008...finally,i cant take it anymore and try my very best to confront her..THANKS TO HIDAYAH, AFIQAH, and ATIKAH for helping me out. Wihout u guys,i cant make it. It's around 11.50am when i talk to Hidayah and Afiqah bout my problem with pad. Then, i have a "counseling section" with both of them..they asked me to do it before its too late. Yeah,u both are right bout it. Thanks for all your advices. Haha..there are only 5 mins left before our BI teacher come in..so,afiqah called pad to sit in front of me..i'm trying to say something from my mouth..oh oh, Pn. Selva has came in. So,all of us dismissed for a while. We wait for 45 mins. Then,at the end, Atikah called pad to sit beside me. Wooo, i'm so nervous ( p.s: HELP ME GOD!! )..later,she sat beside me. We didnt talk for about 10 mins..maybe both of us are nervous..Then, " Afiqah to the rescue!!".. i called her to help me. She help me to say something to pad. N,from there, i talk to pad word by word.. She talk to me too..later,everything is fine. We talk to each other then.. We laugh too. Haha..its funny right?? Haha..The bell rings and its time to go home. We said bye and go home. Huh,it made me feels so relieved and finally my BIG BURDEN has put down. I feel relaxed and happy after that day. N,i promise to myself that i'm not going to make trouble like this anymore. U'll suffering for it. Trust me..( p.s: i'm happy to have pad as my friend again..)
Thanks again to Hidayah, Afiqah and Atiqah..so,the moral value of thie story is:
~ Appreciate all ur friends and try to be nice with them even though they do make mistakes sometimes~
and one more thing,actually this thing is very simple,but its our thinking that make it feel negative and complicated. If i doesn't confront her,i wont know the ending ( which turns out to be a happy ending....)
