I forgot you existed Mr Blog. Kesian. I cannot promise I won't neglect you anymore, because I know I will

:P

Moved house. Like. Less traffic and near friends.

Work is mentally draining. Need to learn to not be emotional at work.

Money. Alhamdulillah, I'm happy.

Hobby. Hiking is the new thing. Want to go diving. Long time didn't go.

Friends. Making new ones. Miss those in KL.

Family. Miss my brother and sister.

Cat. None yet. Wish I had one.

Happy 2011. Yeay. Hopefully it'll be a better year. I plan to do many things this year. Don't know if I can achieve them. Seems like 12 months isn't enough. I predict this year will also be a very fast year.

So the first thing that is happening in 2011, is... I'm moving house. I have thought of moving out for ages actually, but me being the person who is lazy when it comes to changes... never really acted upon it. When my house mate moved out, I sang to myself: It's now or never ~~

A few more friends will be leaving Penang by the end of the year. That just means I need to make new friends lah. Or adopt 10,001 kitties and play with them all year long. Haish

I went to a toy shop this afternoon and saw the Halloween merchandise already for sale. There was this one corner that had spider webs. Halloween lah sangat. Well, it reminded me of my blog.

I have nothing against people that smoke cigarettes. Some good friends of mine used to smoke. An ex was[still is] a heavy smoker. My aunty smoked a lot too. But smoking in an elevator? Even not smoking, but bringing a lit up cigarette in a lift? Holding it low as if we cannot smell it? Come on lah! Suffocating!

I've been having weird dreams lately.

I wish I had more hours in a day.

Haish...

Ye laa Ye laa, I'll stop procrastinating!!

Sheesh ~~

I just got back from KK, with some girlfriends of mine. What fun!

I love my hometown. I love the culture, the people, even the way they speak. I love how friendly they are, although some people argue that I am the one that is friendly, but again, that just shows that Sabahans are friendly, because I am one myself.

I like Penang, my friends, my job, the food, but nothing beats being where your family is at.

Sigh.

Or maybe I am just feeling a little blue, cos I just bought my raya tickets to go back kampung, and I tell you... they are not cheap!!

Sigh.

I have neglected to write here for so long. Maybe because I have been writing elsewhere.

It was a dream project, even in my school days.

Some people are afraid of failure, some have large egos. Me, I have both.

That's why I obediently did what was expected of me.

Older by a decade now, I am taking a risk. I might fail, and I am putting my heart on a platter. A cheese platter [mainly because I like cheese].

I have started my mini project few months back. Might not be much now: not much longer than a health brochure at the clinic, but stay tuned. It's growing.

And wish me luck ~~~

I cannot describe this feeling in my heart.

I soooo love shopping in Ozzy. My size berleluasa! I get to rummage through the clearance stock as well. And it helped so much, that they're having a mid-season sale. Even so, I think I'll need to look for a part time job to replenish my dwindling bank account. Haish!

I cut my hair. Kinda short. Ok la, not temenggung jugah short style that I used to have during school. But still, noticeably shorter than usual.

The thing is, I got mixed reviews.

The reaction of most of the females were:
1. Why I cut [jaws open wide ya!]
2. Sayangnyaa~~~~

For the guys:
1. Nice haircut
2. *thumbs up*

But both genders agreed, that I look 5 years younger.

So, if before this people thought I was 23-24 years old, now I look 18-19 years old.

My chances of catching an anak ikan is bigger!

Can't wait for the weekend.

Going to kelantan and redang. Yeay!

I already bought my tickets for easter. Can't wait to go to the land down under. oooh... I need to practice my accent.

G'day Mate!

Checking our gear and skills before our first dive. Guess which one is me!

I just realised something. I'm a defender. I defend. Ok, I'm not making sense. I'll explain:

Last time in primary school, when playing netball, I always get GD or GK. That was when I was still considered one of the tallest in the class. During matrics pun, when we played netball, I got stuck with WD.

It's a known fact that I play chess. I am kinda good at it too. Which I know some people still hate me for since I didn't need to participate in the 'merentas desa' and got an automatic 9 points for sukantara. In chess, I never do the 4 step checkmate. I am also not aggresive in chess. I play good long chess. Speedy chess kills me. During MSSJ chess training, I kept losing, since we were given 1 minute on the clock each, and it requires us too attack instantly. In the actual MSSJ, I didn't do too bad. We were given more than 1 hour each. My play was always, defend and when the opponent has lost most of his pieces attacking me, then only attack his king.

I like to play game jalan jalan lompat lompat kill monsters kinda games. Example: aveyond, MapleStory, Dragon Age. I never choose warrior type characters. I would normally be bow and arrow wielding characters. I will never be the ones attacking head on. Long distance attacking suites me better. I'd rather defend my warriors then be one.

Even in my whole futsal career [eceh], I've never scored a goal. When a goal is scored on my team, I'll most probably be on the other side chatting with my goally, if not being the goally. But it's fun playing in my hometown, with my normal team, since our opponents always gets confused. My sister is a kick ass scorer, so, sometimes I get guarded while she is roaming around freely and when she scores a goal, then only my guard will be like, "alamak, salah sister la!"

So, that sums it. I'm a defender. Heh.

I am not ravishingly beautiful. I am somewhat sarcastic. I am not one of those girls, people fall in love with immediately.

So when someone asked me out for lunch and a movie, I was flattered. We just met for less than 3 hours. Dalam erti kata STF tak larat lah perasaanya.

Until he guessed my age incorrectly.

People always say I look younger than my real age. When I was studying, someone thought I was a child prodigy. People at work thought I was the youngest in the team.

He guessed I was 22. I was starting to get cautious. I can do 22 I think.

Until he said:

"Saya 18 tahun this year. Saya belum birthday".

Meaning what? Is he underage?

It is known that I am a 'cradle robber'. But 10 years is just too much for me.

*pasrah*

One of the things I have wanted to do, apart from conquering Kinabalu and learning Mandarin, is to get my diving license.

Today was the first day of the course.

During the theory part of it, I was still skeptical. In my mind were so many doubts. Am I strong enough to carry that tank of air? Will my eyes burn when we do the 'flooding the mask' exercise? Will I be able to sink to the bottom? How to handle the pressure in my ears when I descent.

After theory class, we went to P. Sapi.

Suddenly I found myself sitting at the edge of the boat, with a tank on my back, and flippers on my feet. My head was tucked down, my knees bent. The instructor had his hand on my shoulder. "Karena, have fun!", said he.

I wanted to protest. I'm not ready, I wanted to say. But the regulator was already in my mouth, and he'd already pushed me off the boat.

Half an hour later, I was swimming with the fishies, seeing corals, sea anemone, and other sea life.

I had fun. I'm really digging this sport. Diving is a totally new adventure. And maybe it did help a little to have a hot guy in my team.

I got a love hate relationship with my job.

I like what I do. I like that I am learning tons of stuff, that even though I've left school, my technical capabilities is growing. I like that my resume is growing.

I don't like the hours I have to put up with. I don't like that my sleeping pattern has changed. I don't like that I may not be able to go diving this weekend.

I feel very carnivorous. I feel like eating a big chunk of meat. Preferably rare.

Hmm... I dunno what to say. Hmm...

I hope I'll be back soon.

Aunty Yoyo got hospitalised yesterday. She is in the cardio ward. At the moment , am waiting for the specialist update to see how critical she is.

I know many people know her as her house has always been open to my friends, I always bring back her food, and I always talk about her alot.

Do pray for everything to be smooth, and lets just hope for the best. That is what I am doing anyways.

Jom Jom pi reunion!

RSVP kat erm.... Facebook pon boleh, kat Reunion Blog pon boleh. Tapi cepat, dateline[ke deadline? i always get confused] dah nak tiba. 17th Okt agaknya.

Owh, jangan lupa charge camera bila datang [reminder to myself sebenarnya].

Besok pi KL... lalala...

But I can imagine it to be tiring. I have three sets of commitments that I need to divide my love to. My family, my friends from school, my friends from Uni. Tambahan I'll be driving to, fro and everywhere in between KL. Di mana... tak suka sgt drive in KL... since I don't know the way. Hahaha.... Why can't the roads be more like KK. Or Penang. Hahahaha... Way too many highways. Di mana, the only one I know is..... federal highway. And the one that gets me north. But I dunno the name. Hahaha.

Raya haji is in less than a month. Tak beli tiket lagi. I really should go apply for that Airasia Citibank Card. Haish! Kan best if it would work the same way as my Dbahn Card zaman dulu dulu.

Ok, macam random rambling je dah. Yee Ha!

Sunday Nite. Most people would go all frenzy, swearing in their minds [or loudly] that Monday is tomorrow. A working day. Me? I cant wait for tomorrow. No, I'm not crazy.

I borrowed an MJ CD from my dad. And it's in my car. So I can't wait for tomorrow to come, so that I can get into my car and groove with Michael on my way to work. Yee ha.

What comes after I get to the office is another story. Sigh. Tomorrow is Monday....
