The Adventures of a Girl

Counting down to Nov 18... for I will be embarking onto a whole new journey... The journey will not be a smooth sailing easy going one. But I guess it is a challenge to see how far and how hard I can go. Hmph... sounds like I seriously love to torture myself. I will miss this place... the first place where I "sold my soul" to in Malaysia, but on the other hand, I am looking forward to the next place I am going to "sell my soul" too as well - A very redundant Ida

The opportunity came as a recognition of my hard work... and maybe dedication to my job. But the inner voice of me is shouting of uncertainty and fear that I am not good enough at all... worried that I will not be of much help to those that place their trust in me, and at the end of the day, will disappoint those who think highly of me.

I had never been someone that has confidence. But I guess the good thing is people seldom see through the shield i place upon myself. In comparison to those in my family, everyone is so smart, so talented, such high achievers while me... a nobody... :\ Maybe that is why I am always working harder than anyone to prove that I am part of a family of high achievers. But it never seem enough to do them proud...

Of many of the "boy bands" in the 90's Beyond is my absolute favorite of all times (Fine... my song choices are stuck in the 90's and they simply do not want to move out of that era....). Beyond is not about fun, not about looks but about the substance of their songs and the feel of it.

If I have to use words to describe them it will simply be "manly, power, freedom and brotherhood - in a non-gruesome Chinese triad way."

Turning 24... without a series of birthday celebration marathon... without wild clubbing... without many people around me... a very quiet one since the day I turned 18.

All I had that day was my work in Penang, my dear colleagues and my client who tried to make the best out of what they can.

I am touched... :)

****

The fieldwork trip to Setiawan and Penang was fun! The eating, drinking and chit-chatting we had on top of the busy fieldwork scheduled that filled our days to the brim made outstation fieldwork less of a chore!

Food trail in Sitiawan was fantastic with CK bringing us around to savor the goodness and tastiness of Sitiawan. Very hospitable bunch and it made our short trip there memorable and fun.

Back to hometown - Penang was even more fun! Regrettably I did not managed to meet up with any of my best friends there due to the full schedule we had there. But still brining people in the office around Penang, introducing to them the wonderful food in Penang was definitely some proud moments of moi... and am VERY proud to say... I KNOW MY WAY VERY WELL AROUND PENANG! *beams*

As usual... touristy stuff after work are makan-makan sessions, temples and old buildings!

And not to forget the newest "tourist" attraction - Hard Rock Hotel...

I think we all had fun... didn't we? :)

Is this what we always describe as the calm before the storm? The following few weeks will be stressful, filled with work and not so fun as compared to the work filled fun outstation fieldwork trip! Well BRING IT ON BABY!
