ahhh...finally i'm home. m back for my annual mid-year break cum gawai holidays. this time, i'm off for 11 working days,so 2 weeks holidays lah. so lamak u say? no lah...holidays can never be too long,but always never enough..
i went to a friend's wedding last saturday. morning was church blessing at st. thomas and the reception was that evening at hilton. it was alright. food was great. makan-makan ended around 10++,but of course the karaoke @ mejeng session didn't end until midnight (or wayyy past mid night sometimes!). but i went home after the last course,didn't want to wait any longer as i didn't drive that night. u see, my mum's wira is still not out from the workshop,so the only car we have at home is my dad's car. so have to kongsi2 & plan our trip if anyone wants to go out. hmm,so susah la if there's no extra car...
then on sunday, there was a pot luck dinner at blessed sacrament church. corpus christi cum gawai celebration. but...sikda feel gawai pun!! muka2 yg sik celebrate gawai jak yg rami. in the words of rizal af6,..ape ke hal nyer yop!...seriously, people went there just to eat. even the priest wasn't interested in mingling around with the parishioners.which is so typical of him. i know, i know...i'm meng-umpat-ing a priest. but the attitude demonstrated how it defeats the purpose & the way of life of priests...to love & care about their parishioners...well, that was what i was taught last time...i took pictures,but since the pc i'm using is not so convenient for me to upload pictures,i'll post the pics in my future post.
hmmm,my sis is not around as she has gone to labuan for matriculation programme. so it's me all alone in the room. although i have more space for myself, but it's not the same without her. i tried sabotaging the position of her patung2 in the room,which used to be fun because she would sabotage me back,now it's no more fun...hmm...
last night i log into mirc after many years. wow...very different from what i was used to. it's quieter. but scarier. how scary? well, lets just put it this way...kids nowadays are more bolder in telling other people of their sexual preferences...and their wishes of...getting..laid...not scary enough u say? the kid was only 20 & just been dumped by the gf, or ex-gf, or maybe it was mutual separation, or maybe he initiated,or what ever lah! anyways, the question posed to me was...am i open minded...that got me off guard. & i knew something was not the usual...i tried not to sound or be judgemental. i knew very little of him to pass judgement,right?but i didn't try to lecture him,or, be patronising.after all, maybe mirc nowadays is meant for normal and paranormal conversations,hehehee...and the guy said he met many gays tried to chat him up..sheeshh...
and there was also another guy who said he's married & was just into irc to 'look for some fun before his wife finish watching some dumb korean (or was it mandarin?) dvd'.ehh? and then he said he was 'hot here'-->i think 'here' means in irc,or,at the position in front of his pc??so i told him to just go & kacau his wife la,dont wait till the dvd ends to get 'anything' over with.i dont want him to raise the hot issue then..or any other matter that could be raised*wink*wink*hahahaha!!! that was it lah...i just logged off after that. like,irc could be that...low nowadays ka,or, just i was at the wrong time,&, at the wrong channel??
anyway people,i'm glad that i'm back for gawai as last year i wasn't here to celebrate. so hopefully gawai this year would bring interesting memories for me!!!
till my next post, here's wishing all A SELAMAT GAWAI DAYAK!! GAYU GURU GERAI NYAMAI!!
TARA, TARA, TARA!!! UUUHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!

a trip to genting?i may never want to go there anymore...
a long weekend had passed. saturday,sunday and monday off. so last week, i was hoping to use these 3 days to do some last minute shopping before i'm off for my gawai break. but, it did not turn out that way as i was 'forced' to go for a workshop over the weekend,up there in awana genting. anyone knows what's in store for a workshop that dishes out title such as 'penerapan budaya inovasi'? let me do the honour...
friday was the day. i arrived early so as to nab a good parking spot.why? i'll be leaving my car to use the designated transportation.the janji was at 730.it was 8 when we started our journey. biasalah, jam indonesia,always half hour later than expected time. because there were only 10 of us (1 was already up there,he drove), so we were ferried up there in pajeros. ah,better than i expected. initially they told us we would be using the bus. i had some apprehension because the bus could never be able to scale the bukit!!! we'll be stranded half way up lah if use the bus!!
so we arrived there at about 1030.okla.but the people from sirim were not there yet. so we were invited to makan&minum (again!at our last stop i took mi goreng at genting sempah R&R). after mkn minum,we waited.it was only about 1130 or so that the folks from sirim arrived.then they say,'makan&minum dulu lah!". again??apparently, their buses were not endowed with the ability to panjat the bukit. lucky we use the pajero.otherwise,the same fate would happen to us.
because we started late, the activities lasted till almost midnight. letih you know. generate new ideas. be innovative. be creative. as if we can be creative as easy as abc. i need to do something repetitive & ,some would say, sort of meng-khayal-kan, in order for me to be at least imaginative. when the mind is being soothed, ideas will flow easily i would say!!
on saturday morning, we had aktiviti senaman. well, at least them,NOT me,hehehe. i.., err.., overslept..hehehe. i was soo tired. monday till thursday in the office,faced the uni kids,then friday go to awana&the activity only ended almost midnight. so i was soo tired taht i found it hard to wake up. my room mate had decided to NOT attend the morning exercise. lagik best! coz she oredi decided,hehehe. but the next session only started at 830,so we managed to arrived on time. but our group kenak deduct markah. apparently, not only the 2 of us,there were quite a number of people not able to attend the morning exercise.
sunday was presentation time. what can i say..i can't wait to go home. there was nothing else to do up there, except,think,think,think...and i was bored to think anything anymore up there. i might have a very different feeling the next time i go up there..or i may never will go up there again...bengkel at awana & conference at first world 2 years back...i will never be able to look at genting the way i used to look at it many many years ago...

Do you want to hear me complaining??
How do you work with someone who has an ego as gigantic as the pre-historic dinosaur?
How do you handle someone who has an attitude that surpasses even the world known diva?
How do you communicate with someone that treats other people badly?
How do you negotiate with someone who adopts the 'holier-than-thee' act?
How do you survive in an environment fiercer than any battle in the animal kingdom?
Well, i do have to go through each and every how-dos that i've mentioned. In fact,every day. For the past 5 years.
And how do I feel after being subjected to those treatments?
Disgusted.
Angry.
And sometimes wishing some divine intervention to remove him from his current position!
To be picked upon. Scapegoat. You know, the environment that I'm in is not a very conducive one. I know, I may be complaining too much. Must always remember,to be thankful for the things I have. But if I'm being dragged into something I know is/are wrong,& not being able to do anything to stop the debacle,should I just say..let's just surrender everything to the Lord?... or ...it's in HIS plan...
Yes, fate. I know that. But by not doing anything to at least lessen the extremity of the chaos, is being too complacent. I can't change anything by talking. The word change is a verb that requires some action to be done in order to accomplish its meaning. So what shall I do next?
I do not regret the actions that I've taken.
And yes, I believe in the thing called sexist. Especially the term misogyny - hatred of women.
And everyday I have to face the reality of my boss being one. Yeah, I know,I sedang mengumpat.Hahaha!!
The more I try to understand the inner-workings of his mind,the more I loath him. Being understanding is not easy,especially if it concerns someone who has no respect towards the other sex. I can never understand his sexual preferences. Nor can I ever accept his holier-than-thee attitude. This kind of hypocrisy should not be tolerated. It should be stopped. Please la...any divine intervention will do..God,please hear my prayer...
I know I'm being emotional today. This is not induced by any chemical/physical factors.
This is just me,complaining...
