The bright side

Jay is now working. She is working as puok. Well I call it as ‘working as puok’ because she goes to work at night. When I asked what is she working as, she said `geisha`. Wow! Interesting! Not everybody can be a geisha you know especially at Jay`s age. Her age suits a `Mamasan` (sorry if u don`t know what it means) now.  I salute her! Really I do! She said a lot more geisha in the club from Sabah. Mostly Bajau. I want to visit the club one day. And if I am qualify to be one of the geisha, hell why not! These geishas can earn up to RM90- RM200 per night. It`s Jay’s 3rd night, and she earned at least RM270 already. I don`t know how they figure it. But it sounds interesting. You don`t have to wake up early in the morning, no need to iron-straight your garments, no need to be caught in a jam etc. All you have to be is get your hair done, put some make-up, expose a little here and there and able to drink, sing & dance. At your own willingness, maybe you can have extra pleasure and get paid extra more. Some women go to clubs, pay for their drinks, and pick some men for dancing or whatever without getting any pay. Geisha are lucky! The have wonderful time and get paid. OK young ladies out there, don`t ever think that I am actually giving you an encouragement on becoming geisha. Jay is different. She already got 2 sons. She never really had fun before. And now her sons are old enough to understand. So there she goes. Life begins at 35. Hehehe. Yang muda2 punya prumpuan jangan lah piker macm ni. Nanti teda urg mau kawin. Kalau yg suda kawin suda cerai suda janda tu lain lah kan! OK.  

Time with my Managers and fellow colleagues

The 3 great ladies of my company, namely Sharon Lim (HR Manager), Jennifer Lu (Country Logistic Manager) both from our HQ & Dora Rasiah (Asia Pacific Logistic Manager-from Singapore) came yesterday for interview session with a few candidates who will take over my position. Well out of 7 candidates they'll have to pick one of them. They (the managers) were great, amazing women! Never in a company have most women as Manager. The Head of our Finance Department is also a woman. Ellen Khoo, she's a Sabahan from Sandakan pula lagi tu.

The interview session held the whole day, during lunch break, we had our lunch at Pekin Restaurant nearby our office. We had udang masak Indonesian style, Nonya Steamed fish, baby kailan, mixed-seafood (sea cucumber, scallops, clams, etc) & mushroom. We had Oolong tea. Pekin Resto served us fast, 10 minutes after the order, we can start to eat already. Jennifer said "Wah! So fast ahh? Faster than McDonalds. McDonald you even have to queue some more." It was good meal. I am not sure how much lah. Jennifer Lu is the one offered her Credit Card to at the counter.

I had a formal Session with Sharon Lim the HR Manager. She asked me a few questions. Reason for leaving, suggestion of improvement, what I dislike & like most about the company. It was good. After that, I feel free to go. After the interview, the great ladies seemed undecided yet on which lucky lady to pick. Jennifer will tell me today! I'm waiting.By 4.30pm the ladies all went back to their original location.

After work, the Engineers (Khoo Ghee Cheong, Chew Chin Heng, James Leong, Han Ding Hou & Ian Hwong) invite me for a dinner at one of the fancy resto in JB. It is called "Straits Garden Restaurant" our appetizer was oyster. Raw! It was good and aweful! Then we had prawns (again), crabs, ayam kampung, vegetable (brocolli & mushroom), we drank hot tea. Again I don't know how much is the cost. I wasn't paying. Not long after Roxana, (Chew Chin Heng's wife) join us. After the dinner, we went straight to Red-Box at Jusco Tebrau City. Because of I had too much hot tea, my period flow faster and heavy just right after I entered the buliding. It even drip on the ground. Such an embarassing for the Engineer to see me like that! Thank God Roxana got extra pad. I was very embarassing. But I know it is normal. For the Engineers who are educated & matured people. Roxana said, problalby the tea lah.. because tea wash off all your toxins. Then came the woman cleaner. Mopped away all the toxins. Alamak! Malu -_-. I went to a toilet to wash myself. I felt better. Well nasib baik lah the toxins tidak drip while we were in the car kan. Sialan! Bikin malu! This is the second time my period drip di public. First one during school, dalam classroom. Semua tu lelaki katawa lagi tu. Bah.. what to do, immature kan. I decided to continue on with the Red Box. I sang a few songs. They sang a few songs. All the Engineers but Ian Hwong are a good singers. Jgn marah ahhh Ian Hwong! At 1am we left Red-Box. And lost our way to the car park. The guard there insist us to take the main exit instead of the short cut basement. We obeyed him. But damn! After s long walk we found out the gate was locked. And the car is over the side of the building. Then we went to the basement, walk for another few more miles. Susah!

at 2 am. Sampai ruma, mandi trus tidur. This morning bagun already 8.45 am. Lambat!

Hmmm... ladies, time period kalau mau buang semua toxins minum lah tea panas byk2. Kalau period biasa saja nda abis to toxins tu. So kalau minum tea, dia tulung kasi keluar semua. Hahahaha! You can laugh about it, I don't mind.

I didn`t know that...

..Yayasan Sabah is now known as Tun Mustapha Tower (Menara Tun Mustapha).

They don't just appreciate their beauty...

hmmmm... them again

27 Dec 2005 Mimpian Jadi The next day..... Mimpian Jadi juga...

But I'm a creep... I'm a wierdo... What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here...I don't belong here

The plan on going home to KK for good is on the go. Thanks so much to my sister-2 Epeen for supporting me. And also my bro-11 also. You have no idea how much I need your support. Thanks guys. And oh... also to my loving koupusan yg will never give up on supporting me in whatever.

Sia tia tau la apa mo jadi with my life in the future. Sia cuma plan to go home. But I don't really know if I am ready to go home. That's why mau plan btul2. Life is not the same anymore, not like 5 yrs ago when I decided to come to JB. I didn't plan. I said I wanna give it a try out there. So here I am. Skrg lain, tidak buli sebrangan bilang 'wanna give a try' kalau mau pulang. Misti mau plan, especially when KK punya gaji still very low, ada gaji cukup2 utk makan dan enjoy. Walaupun KK is my hometown, but I have no longer a home to go. Except ruma kakak-kakak sia 8 org. Tapi mereka ini suda kawin dan ada family sendri takkan lah sia mau tumpang ruma diarang. That's why I have this very important plan. I will build my own cottage with my little savings. Small house just for me alone. At least kalau When I go home, I don't have to pay rent anymore kan. I want to be independant. Not to be alone or avoid social life but independant. And I want the people who close to me (either from the same type of blood as me or people I know long time ago) to understand that.

5 yrs in JB... I have gathered so many things worth RM12,000 kalau kasi tinggal saja di JB sayang bah. Kalau mau bawa pulang pula costs RM3000.. hmm.. what do u think? Bawa pulang atau kasi tinggal? I love them, so I wanna bawa pulang lah.

And my 3 beautiful nieces

Don't blame them... they are too young to be blamed. This habit has been flowing in the family blood since I can remember

My 3 handsome nephews

A wedding.... 31 Dec 2005

Earlier...... Another Wedding 1 May 2005

No idea apamacam boleh terambil only the 3 of them balik2. I have many more other nephews. Tapi in 3 selalu kana gambar sama2. Bah.

Koupusan datang JB

My koupusan will come to JB to visit me this April. I am so happy! Thanks lah to AirAisa sebab tikit dia murah RM199.99 saja pigi balik. Haih… lambat butul ni bulan April sampai. Uwaaa! I’m counting days.

Happy Valentine's Day, my koupusan

Sad that you're not here with me
I know it is sadder that I am not there with you
I cannot wait till April arrives, that's when you and I become 1 again.

I love you and I want you to know how much I appreciate being your lover.
I'll always cherish our moments together.
Let our branches grow bigger, taller and or even deeper.
I want us to stay this way forever and ever.
In God, I pray for for our love. Amen.

Especially to my boyfriend: A. A. K.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

The Chinese New Year celebration was OK. I won a few of many `juds` we played.
OK what happened recently;-

• I drive my abang-9 car (he was away-di KK for CNY) accident sikit, pecah lampu signal and a few garit yang mengguris hati wakakakka


• I ate a lot of Mandarin oranges and it makes me wanna eat again


• Planning on building my house in Inanam (for me to go home for good)


• For 4 yrs and 10 months I thought JB is a boring place, and today I still think the same.


• 4 yrs????? Whatta waste of time. I am really getting older in JB. I wanna go home I wanna grow old at home.

What are their reaction when I say I wanna go home for good

Family in JB

Ann (Kakak-5): Butul ka tidak oh? Siarang (her family) bila2 saja buli pulang ni.
Jay (Kakak-7): Buat apa ko di KK? Going back to the old life, back to square one. (jobless, homeless etc)
Clay (abang-9): hmmmmm….
Law (abang-10): Sia pun mau pulang
Ian (nephew): In 4 yrs time, (when Jill is ready for school) I’ll join you.

Family di KK pula…

Daddy: OK nak… when are you coming home?
Epeen (Kakak-2): Good also lah you come home.
Yeeyin (kakak-6): I hope you are not quitting the job because of your boyfriend.
Kath (Kakak-8): Welcome home, Tit!
Tehot (Abang-11): Ya! Kita rebuild ruma lama Mama. Make our old home, happening again. Di Sabah gaji basar suda bah.

Yg lain2 such as Kakak-1, kakak-3 & kakak-4 were not informed. Diarang 3 tu ok saja tu, Hehehe.

They ask why I quit the job, why I wanna go home.

I said “JB banyak peragut.”

I also said

“Di JB basar gaji tapi tanggungan lagi basar.”

They replied

“Oh”
Actually, I have made up my mind bah. Walau apa pun reaction mereka2 itu, I will still go home juga. Amen.

KK, here I come. Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
