Cuti-cuti Malaysia: Langkawi

This year, our annual holiday trip was at Langkawi, Kedah. Our very own hometown. I haven't been there for many many years, and this trip wasn't what we planned. We went there en route to Thailand, but the pier was closed. So we have to stay back in Langkawi. Nevertheless, it was a great trip. Good companions make a trip memorable and fun. It was the haze season and it was a good time to escape the town for awhile. What makes it greater? 

We get to travel around by car! No more public transport (writing this make me missing those good ol' times). 

What do we enjoy:
1. Food, cheap cheap.
2. Easy schedule
3. Car rides!
4. No work!
5. Beaches, I LOVE the sounds of waves!
6. The cheap alcohol.
7. Green green and more green! 
8. The best of all is our stay at the BERJAYA resort. (Will need to create another post specially for the photos. :D)

What do we not enjoy: 

1. Renting car, once you passed by the custom, you will see a long roll of car-rental booth. You will have no idea which one is reliable. Seriously.
2. Haze came back on the 2nd day of our stay.
3. Limited food choices. Though it was cheap, but the choices were limited and sometimes not very tasty.
4. Humid weather, very hot afternoon. This weather reminds me of my schools time, the hot and humid weather, we still have to go for classes or tuition. The smell of being a student, emm, not that fresh but it was fun times.
5. The overrated Japanese food. It wasn't a cheap meal and to be honest it wasn't worth the money.

Overall, we had a great rest and was able to spend quality time with friends. That's what's matter, the next trip together will be with a baby girl! Wohoo.

Being separated

Ney went to Hong Kong for business trip from today onwards for a week. I have forgotten how hard it is to be separated again. I thought I have overcame this separation anxiety from the past practices, but apparently I am wrong, so very wrong. This choked feeling from holding back my tears have been in my stomach since I woke up this morning. All these worries of the plane might go missing or crash or kidnapped or probably go into another dimension and appears again 20 years later keep running in my mind. I know I am stupid to think like this, but I could not help myself. i miss him really really much. i can't imagine life without him, yes, i am way too glued to him, this must be what they called love. okay, enough of that, i just need a space to release all these not so good energy since i feel better after writing it out. Oh, guess what, I handed in my very 1st resignation letter today. It felt right and free, I felt a huge burden has been lifted up from my shoulder. I believe the...

Short Getaway to Batam, Indonesia

Image
Every trip that we had, is always a much needed break from work. I don't know how people could work without without taking leave. I strongly believe taking breaks are healthy for all working adults. For it to be staying at home or going out of town for a good meal. It keeps you sane and help putting life into perspective. It allows you to think that work is necessary but what's more than life has to offer besides career. On our breaks, we get to just chill and talk about things.  This is our first time visiting Batam, Indonesia. It is a very popular short getaway place for Singaporeans because it is so near!  So popular that everything is expensive (in hotels), but it is still very cheap in the city.  We stayed at the Turi Beach Resort ( http://www.agoda.com/en-sg/turi-beach-resort/hotel/batam-island-id.html ), and I think it is a really good choice.  Selfie before departure, so happy that we are sitting here rather than in front of work desk! ...

When it happens and after that

Image
I've stepped into my 6th week of post-surgery, I'm feeling much better now. I look perfectly fine from the outside (as usual) with some help from cosmetics. Let's talk about the week when my operation was conducted. This experience is something I want to remember. It is the biggest surgery our family had to go through together. It wasn't an easy experience, so many decisions had to be made in a short period of time. My problem happens on the mitral valve, it wasn't closing as it should have because of the previous vegetation had loosen it and had left a hole unto the valve. This had caused the oxidized blood to leak back to the heart. If left untreated, I would have a heart failure.   So, my surgery was arranged on the 13th of November, 7 am. I was the first case for the surgeon, Dr Pau. I couldn't sleep well the night before, my thought was I will be sleeping the whole day the next day, what is sleep now. Most of the nights leading to the surgery, I was...
