Here again...

I’ve been away for a bit. It’s been kinda crazy around the office hence my not being able to write. And yes I have been reprimanded for it. Ok since I’m trying to fit in tons of stuff I will break it up into readable pieces hehehe.

The highlights:
Busy as a bee
Made some new HOT acquaintances,
Went for a greeaaat holiday (where some really memorable things took place)

Busy as a bee

Was based in the centre of the hustle bustle of KL city. It was relatively closer to home for me, nevertheless it took me approx the same time to get to the place and longer to get home. The work there was kinda routine and not too stressful. But it did keep me on my toes cos everything had to be done on the same day. On top of that it did give me an opportunity to meet a new group of people everyday. The best part of this was the amount of money I managed to save; food was provided 5 times a day, parking fees was half the amount I am used to paying and it was closer to home so less money spent on fuel since I don’t even bother going to my regular hang out places too. The downside of that – I packed on the pounds *sob *sob. Now I can’t reveal what work I was doing there as it is highly confidential so u can assume whatever you want. Nothing illegal though, mind you. =)

Now I’d like to justify my ‘busyness’. Been involved in 4 different projects with close sometimes overlapping deadlines, 2 different forms of training with actual work needing to be done. I rest my case. The busyness did me some good actually. Not only did I learn a helluva lot I got to really know my team and the diversity of each individual. I will not lie and say that I accepted everythg with open arms and mind. I bitched and griped and whined (to those close to me of course) but in the course of time I manage to learn about acceptance and adapting. So, it did me some form of good. I’m working on a few things now but after such a hectic month, these 2 weeks we have, seem like blissful joy before we are thrown into the sea of work again.

New HOT acquaintances

Met this cute, nice guy in a club, thanks to my dearest fren who insisted that i go talk with him. but me being the 'shy' person that i am just decides to steal glances and make eye-contact. So what do my beloved cousins do....one dances with me and the other goes and introduces herself. And haha the surprise was on her. the guy knew her. Apparently they studied together at the same Instituition but my dear fren completely forgot. So anyways , she decides to share her embarassment wiht me and brings the guy over. So we talk and exchange numbers. Then i find out he just joined this organisation where a close fren of mine works (the world gets smaller everytime). He doesn't know her (barely being there a week). We keep in touch for a bit after that first meeting, smses and calls. Seems like a decent guy so no harm in being frens. He invites me for drinks and lunches which i turn down, not on purpose but due to really not being able to make it. i invite him for drinks and he declines as well cos of family matters. But we do finally meet up for drinks one evening, "I'm with my very cute, single and available fren" he says. and i think to myself "yeah rite." i never trust guys who tell me they have a cute, single fren who's available. If he's so cute how can he be single AND available. So i walk into Chilli's feeling a little nervous as it was my first meeting with this guy after the nite at the club. By this time he is already acquainted with my fren who works in the same place as he. I find them in the corner and had to control myself from stopping short in my tracks. The guy was HOT, HOT, HOT! Damn! Really and truly. So i compose myself and and act like i didn't even notice a really gorgeous guy was rite before my eyes. I was kinda surprised with myself. I've never been taken away by guys this good-looking i usually think of them as being Obnoxious Adonis Men, narcissistic and annoying. But this guy, practically gave me goose bumps. Phew!

So i arrange a few meetings after that "as a group", went back to the club where i met Cute guy A and asked him to drag along Cute guy B. hehehe. Had a pretty good time, though both don't dance (Cute Guy B apparently only dances wen he's had too much to drink). But i was in bimbo mode all nite long. Bimbo mode meaning i was still getting goosebumps wen i look at Cute Guy B. It was so bad that i actually ditched the 2 people whom i love so much (u guys are reading this im sure hehehe). the next time around i meet them for drinks, i drag my faithful colleague S along this time. She behaves very well and pretends that I had never previously said anything about them. So Cute guy A sits with us while Cute Guy B is at the same place but was sitting elsewhere. Anyways, ladi ladi da, bimbo mode was switched on.

Hoilday

The next day, my darling 'cousins' and i left for the East Coast for the long-awaited, long-overdue holiday that we so rightly deserved. Ok, ok i won't be so dramatic. but the holiday was great. We took the coach to a city in the East coast. It was a pleasant journey. The 3 of us were seated in a row and chatted all the way to the town where i spent most of my secondary school days. Ah...the familiarity of it all. I felt a warm tingle run through me. Had this strange feeling of being home. The familiarity was overwhelming. I've been away only 3 years or so, but it felt like a part of me had been left behind sigh* it's true this time, i'm not being a drama queen. I quietened down as we reached the outskirts of the town, reminiscing and filling my cousins in on the memorable happenings along the way. so many of the places brought back all kinds of memories for me.

Anyways we reach the town and a fren comes and fetches us from the bus terminal, we were then invitied to lunch at his home, i know this guy and his family for the past 10 years so i wasn't uncomfortable. After a scrumptious home-cooked meal, we proceed to the hotel in which we were staying for the nite. We were kinda shocked at the size of the room, but we laughed about it. Imagin, 4 adults in a room meant for 2 with 4 sets of luggage. My 2 darling cousins packed as if they were goin on a holiday to Australia hehehe. everything but the kitchen sink, but it did come in handy as i needed sandals. I woke up with a hangover, had only about 2 and a half hours of sleep. Was kinda sloshed the nite before with Cute Guy A and S and her husband so i threw in a few things, couldnt find half of what i needed but was running late (with the cabbie blaring its horn) so just grabbed whatever i had and thought i'd make do.

But back to the room, we have a quick fix up and we leave to do a little shopping (last minute stuff). I left behind my swim suit (can you believe that!), goin for a holiday by the beach and u leave your swimming togs. So anyway deciding not to buy a new swim suit, i decide to get a pair of lycra shorts and pair it up with a tank top. I get these pair of tights which only cost about MYR 15 and think what the heck! so anyways that nite we take the river cruise to see the fireflies which my dearest cousin calls keling-kelings. it was a slip of the tongue cos its called kunang-kunang in Malay. 'Keling' is a derogatory term for the local Indians, equivalent to the term nigger. It was quite a nice ride. Our local priest joined us on the cruise along with some of his frens. After that we had dinner and went for a midnight show - Wild Hogs which i thought was pretty good. Oh btw i was having the sniffles and it was buggin me cos i was feeling sick. Couldnt really sleep that nite cos i could barely breathe and my darling cous was snoring into my ear. hehehe. I think i will continue in the next post. Gotta go. Will leave the suspense hanging.hehehe
