My Little Mishap

Last weekend was like no other weekend i've had. My usual Monday morning which was usually just wake up at 5 a.m. and drive all the way back to Genting was somehow interupted. I left my house on schedule, 6.10 a.m. and I was on my way. I thought I would take my time this time around so I was going about 70km p/h. Suddenly, just about 3 kilometres out of my exit on the Kesas, my bonnet flipped open and hit my screen!!! (the screen did not shatter) I was in the middle lane, and amazingly, my first reflex was to SLOWLY step on my brakes while looking in the rear view mirror for cars behind me, then I used my side mirrors, to slowly pull over at the side. My next step was to take out my phone and call someone, and I called the only person whom I knew to be awake at that hour. After I made the call, I was a bit shaken up, so instead of getting down on drivers side, I jumped over into the passengers seat and sat down for about 3 minutes before getting out of my car. My bonnet was plastered to my wind screen and I couldn't put it down, as it was dented. So I went back inside the car, and waited. While waiting, one of those Road Safety vans pulled up behind me, and three guys got down and asked me if I needed help. Then I explained to them what happened. The three of them assisted me, by helping put the bonnet down and closing it. It looked really badly dented, then once their work was done, they left. Of course I didnt call my parent immediately, they would have gotten a shock! So I slowly drove back home and pulled out outside my house. My dad came out, so did my mom looking very worried. Then I explained to them what happened. We made plans about where to send the car, and at the same time I informed my office that I had to take emergency leave. The damage: well i had to replace the bonnet with a new one as it was badly dented.
By the grace of God, worse did not happen. I am just glad that I did not crash into anything. I thank my lucky stars and all the angels watching out for me yesterday morning!

People normally for with TGIF, but for me that isn't the case. "Thank God It's Saturday". Wow! What a week I would say! But then again, I say this every week. I'll admit that I am getting used to the chaos, crisis', worload, and the long hours - pathetic i know but certain things cannot be helped.
Work today should be pretty routine - actually come to think of it I don't really have a schedule. I just do my work when I get it till the time I leave - it's a just matter of which one I do first, mostly based on priority and importance.
Anyways, I talk way too much about work. Hopefully I get to leave early today. If I could leave now, I would. Sigh!

Irritability on the rise

What is it about life, that when things happens, it all comes along at the same time? Too many things are going that I feel pulled in a million different directions at the same time. Well, alright that was a bit of an exaggeration, its not a million per say but its quite a few. I am not just talking about work - which is enough to kill right now, but also other things in my life at the present moment. The good things is, this keeps me going! I am fully occupied most of the time with constructive things to do and not just drown myself in nothingness and self-pity. Pro's and con's in everything in life. Yet, there is still something amiss - there is an emptiness which I think is quite related to where I live right now. Something tells me that Genting is getting to me, as in the place is starting to get me down. My irritability has increased of late, and I do not hesitate to make it known to people around me. It's really not a good sign as I am letting my emotions get the better of me. This weekend looks quite promising and there are things to be done, important things that need to be finished this weekend. I am looking forward to it and hopefully, when I get back on Monday, the emptiness would be filled with something more important to do.

Back from Holidays!

Happy Chinese New Year to all! The holidays for CNY was superb. Three glorious days off from work. My time was spent looking after two houses - mine & my sisters as everyone was away for the holidays. Besides that, this was an excellent time for me to catch up with friends I haven't seen in ages. I had a blast! My time was really occupied actually, barely had time to sit and do nothing - which is good, because when you sit and do nothing you get lazy then its torture coming back work when whole system has gone into "lazy mode".
Work started yesterday, Wednesday morning with my long drive at 6 a.m. from Kota Kemuning to Genting Highlands. It's pretty packed up here because this is our super peak season. For the pass two days I have been helping out the Genting Hotel Front Office with their daily operations. It's quite and experience actually - I get to experience what its like being in the operations side of things.
My brain is winding down for the day so this is my que to go sleep! Cheers!

Under the weather again??!!

There is no other way of saying this, "I fell sick, again!!!" Last Sunday, I went out in the morning to do some work, and when I got back, I was starving and tired. So I had a bite to eat and since my eyes could hardly open, I went and took a short nap. Nap turned into me feeling so so so cold and not being able to get up from the bed. I was burning with fever! My sister had to hold my hand all the way to the clinic to prevent me from falling. Even the doctor looked worried..hehehe..he asked me, "How many days MC do you want?" So I took two days off to rest and get better. It was the wierdest thing ever. I ONLY had fever, no flu, sneezing or cough. My guess is the change in weather. Extreme cold up here and extreme heat down there. Sigh! Today is Wednesday and I only have a few days to go to the weekend. BUT with loads to catching up to do....sigh!

When will the dust settle?

It's been a pretty rough week at work. One of my immediate colleagues resigned, therefore work has piled up. I have been put in charge of the new staff orientation which is conducted on a weekly basis. What can I say? In addition to that, my newsletter deadline, is this week. BUT, as usual delays happen and after being so stressed out about it for the pass week, I found out today that it has to be delayed. I don't know if this is good or bad news, should i be relieved or frustrated? Sigh! why does it happen in such a way that when you think something is coming to an end, you are WRONG?
I'm exhausted right now. My feet & head hurt. I'm sleepy, hungry and cranky :(

How time flies

It's very interesting that things happen a lot faster than it used to. I recall, as a child, that time seemed to come to a stand still at times. It used to take almost an eternity for a day to pass me by. However, as I got older, everything changed! Time started racing pass me faster and faster. Maybe, I couldn't wait to grow up, and now that I'm all grown up, I wish things could be as simple as it was when i was a child. Funny how humans are never satisfied. We are always seeing grass greener on the other side, but do we take ourselves out of our own box and look at things from a different perspective? Hmmmm..this is way too heavy for a blog.
So, back to reality! For past two days, I was attending training on presentation skills. It was quite good and I rather enjoyed it. Today, finally back to office with work to do, as usual but after being away for two days, I have to play catch up. However, I did come into the office last night just to check on the damage in my absense.
Tomorrow is my favorite day to the week, Saturday! Kota Kemuning, here I come!
