Just Not My Day (re-post)



It's one of those days where u get up at the wrong side of the bed (that's what i think). Why?

Finally i understand why the chinese saying 'ho yan nan cho' (in cantonese) I find it dead true. I guess being someone good will always be taken for granted and worse being mistaken for something which i'm not. Im sure everyone had have such a feeling at least once in your life time. The time when u give advices to your friends when u meant well. But ended up being mistaken for not supportive, giving them a hard time, adding problems to their already complicated lives, not blessing whatever that they are doing, not telling them the truth, yada yada yada and the list goes on.

Gosh, i think i've had enough of all these craps. My close friends told me to try not to be too good a person before. Now i know what they meant by this. Cos eventually the one being hurt, the one being fooled, the one being blamed, the one being said is non other than YOURSELF. So much so for being a good person ya!

Gee, wonder why should I even continue being good to those who doesnt even know how to appreciate???

Gloomy Monday (re-post)

Gloomy day always bring gloomy news. Wake up in the morning and it's all dark and rainy outside. What a nice day to sleep in, I thought. After rolling for another few mins, I'm awake and even had my pre breakfast hehehehe ...

Back to my work, I thought. And this is when bad news come rolling in one by one. First one, an uncle of a good friend is gonna pass away.... second later my other good friend told me that her dad have got lung cancer and is in critical condition. She's torn between the family and her being in the State with some sticky situation. One part of her wanna come home to see her dad and the other part of her have to be there to get the money for his dad's medical fees. I feel sad for her. Ive asked her to come back numerous time and stop suffering in the State. If after a few years still cant get what ever that u want, then I think it's time to come back for good. Not as if u cant earn a living in M'sia, just it's in different currency.

I know she will be reading this too but i still wanna continue my blog. I personally think she should come back for good and stop all her suffering in the State. It's not worth it. Yes, a lot of people wanna go there but don't have the chance BUT it doesn't mean all the people who go there can be able to make it big! She only have 1 dad in her entire life and he's almost at his death bed and I seriously think she should be back to be by his side during his last moments on earth. Or else she will be regret for the rest of your life and this will haunt u for life. Chances come and go, same goes with opportunities BUT regrets come and never will go away and it will haunt u.

Third and hopefully it's the last bad news im gonna received today. A situation came up at my site. Due to monsoon season at the east coast (i think) the entire car porch area (which is actually a basement sort of car porch) is flooded. Need to go down to Cherating to check out the situation and retify it before meeting my client. Sigh, it's only mid day and already 3 bad news. Pls stop cos it's a bit too much for a gloomy Tues.

Dreams and it's definition?? (re-post)

I've been having all sort of weird weird dreams lately. Not exactly lately but this yr alone I've had 3 shocking and scary dreams. One only happened last nite. I can barely remember the whole dream but i knw it somehow feels scary cos i was sweating and my heart beats really fast. There's bit n parcels here and there that i'm trying to connect back but i cant seems to remember.

The one i had last nite was abt ME. Ive no idea where the location is but I'm with my usual bunch of girlfriends (thank god!) Think we went on vacation and it looks like a haunted trip. Dont asked me why but the feelings is just creepy but the location or the hse or building which we were in is not creepy as it looks like. There's this parcel where by i was supposed to get something or meet someone on the top floor of the building and i have to take the lift. Now, the lift seems small and old and very unmaintained. The lift came and i walk in and press the floor that I wish to go to. It took me up, really slow with all those squeaking sounds as if it's gonna fall off anytime. I'm done with my task and i took back the lift down to my friends. But this time, the lift seems to be playing me cos it went from up to down and back up ... slowly. I remember seeing the light on the number on the lift panel. It always hover around the number '4'. Going up a few floors and passing the number and then back down passing that number too. I dunno what it meant. But somehow the lift stop and the door opens up. It was not exactly at the lift opening. The lift stop in between floors, the floor slab is 3/4 covering the opening. Lucky i saw my 2 friends and they were there trying to pull me up. Thank god they manage to pull me out after giving me alot of encouragement. I guess i was too shocked to move out of the lift. Once i'm pull out, the lift falls. Spooky huh?!

Another scene was quite funny cos we were at this long Q (I dont knw for what) Me and my friends and we were all cant wait to relieve ourselves. I guess that place have got no toilets. Ended up grabbing a plastic cup (those u can find in starbucks when u order take away cold drinks) and relieve in it! Funny and yuckky and embarassing too!

Gosh, the last parcel that i remember is we found the toilets but it's those portable toilets and it's super darn small and smelly. It's even too small for kids to go in. Ive no idea why there is such portable toilets and worse thing is we had to use it to relieve ourselves and ended up trying all kinda funny ways to just squeeze into that toilet.

Those 3 parcels were just one of the bad dreams i had last nite. The previous 2 is the worst ever dream that I've had so far. Why? Cos I dreamt of death.

My first nightmare, I dreamt the death of my beloved cousin and his sister. I dont knw how they died but the dream showed me they were sleeping in a coffin. It really wrecked my heart to see such scenario. I saw my aunt crying her heart out for her 2 beloved kids. It's really sad and disturbing.I just woke up after that.

The second nightmare? Even WORST. In this dream, I was in a crowded place which looks like a bus station cos there's a lot of long bench. There's really alot of people there sitting down waiting for some bus to take them away. In the midst of wondering where I am, I saw my 'uncles'. I was surprised why they are there. And they too surprised to see me. Eventually I found out that I'm actually dead cos only people who's dead will be at the place. Worse even is when I saw my mom. Yes, that's really scary and shocking. I asked them why are they there and they told me that they are involved in an accident whereby it's cause by some japanese riot. Dont ask me the reason cos i dont knw. Dreams are weird but the fact that I dreamt myself and my beloved mom and relatives dead, is even more weirder. That dream really scares the hell out of me. I woke up sweating and my heart is pounding very fast.

I never really speak out about these dreams to anyone, well ... only to a few close friend and couz of mine. She assured me that dreaming of death meant that the person is gonna be doing really good in his/her life. Well, I sure hope so cos I am one of the DEAD girl.

Superstitious or Stupidity? (Re-post)

Has it ever occured to you that sometimes people are just too superstitious or rather just plain stupid???? An incident recently trigger my writing mind to write this.

A so called cousin in law of mine (let's name him MR. S) jus had a new born baby, which is something to be happy about rite? BUT the fact is, this baby is born with clef lips and this Mr. S blamed it on bad feng shui of the family due to the recent relocation of the ancestors and the death of his father in law. This smart ass actually have got the guts to walk over to my aunt's place which is just across the road to scold/shouted at her!

How very rude! To disrespect an aunt of your wife???? Someone elder in the family?? This is plain rude. I totally understand that he is very upset that his baby girl has got a clef lips BUT u cant just blame it on the bad feng shui!!

I understand that recently his family is not in smooth sail BUT still I dont think that he should even raised up his voice toward this aunt of mine by saying 'forcing his father in law to death' kinda shit! My uncle passed away due to sickness and what has it gotta do with anyone forcing him to death!? Plain stupid??? Oh! and he wanna blame it on the relocation of the ancestors too ... and what has he gotta to with it when he's not even in the CHONG family!?!!? The relocation of the ancestors will only affect the feng shui of those in the CHONG family and so far everyone in the family (me included) is all healthy and in good hands. If there's bad feng shui due to the relocation, then it would probably cause a lot of misfortunes in my family too rite?! No one in the family is complaining abt the feng shui NOT even his mother in law so who is he to speak abt it??

I personally thinks he is a coward. Why? Cos he only dare to let out his grunts in front of my 2nd aunty. This is not a manly thing to do. If he has got the gut, speak to the man of the family ie my dad and my 2 uncles and even my 1st aunty (she the tai ka cheh in the family!) And he dare called himself educated people??? Nah ... 'over educated' i think .... sigh

Marriages n Weddings....( re-post)

Have it ever occur to you when is the best or most suitable age to get married??

For the past few weeks, I've been attending wedding dinners non stop, back to back, from KL to JB and back to KL, hehehe. Is it because we have reach the 'appropriate' age? or .... hmm maybe someone can help me fill that blank ;)

Attended one of my good friend's wedding last weekend in JB. It felt like only yesterday when we just knew each other, going on our adventurous jln jln cari makan trips up north and down south, attending her graduation, sharing all our non stop gossiping, etc etc ... and now she's married and settled down in JB. Though weddings are happy moments to share but in another way, it is sad to know that one of your good friends is no longer a stone throw away when u need a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. But nevertheless, the girls agreed to her man of choice, only thing is .... eerrr can we request for him to top up his ang pow money for the chi muis!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??! after all he's been given easy tasks ... hehehehe (kidding la !)

It's a nice trip though. It's been a long time since the bunch of us get to go on such fun trips. Really had loads of fun esp during the wedding event hehehe Cant wait to see the video and photos and not forgetting someone's 'fate'

My First Project (Re-post)


From a consultant turning into a contractor is NOT an easy job. Never had I imagine that being a contractor is such tedious job. As my dad decided to venture into design n build business recently, only did I realised how tough is it to be a contractor. Always in the position of a consultant, I saw things which are 'beautified' hehehe Playing 2 roles at 1 time is not easy I can assured you. I have to take into consideration my client's benefit and at the same time I've to be fair to the contractor and myself.
My first project, a single storey bungalow in Cherating. It had just kick start and there's so many issues to tackle which I have no ideas. The surveyor plans, the construction drawings, the details plans and many many more little things which I've no idea of. I cant even imagine how to even start the construction. At times I felt so stupid cos the contractors have to explain everything to me, what are the things that they required, how they do the setting of the building, how they have to plan out the whole construction plan, etc etc. Just like a little kid, I listen to him nodding my head. In my mind, I'm totally blank, don't know nothing about it. Slowly I digest all the informations that he gave me and slowly I start to understand and learn.
A lot of informations is not finalised thus the mess in construction. Thank goodness, the contractor is willing to explain everything to me so that I understand the whole situations or else there's more stress to come. Come to think about it, I know NOTHING at all about construction. Sigh. I've to learn from the very beginning, from scratch. But as a very positive person, I always look at the bright side. This might be my first project and this is also my learning ground. I'm definitely learning a lot of things from this project. I've confident, soon I can manage a whole project by myself (minor projects la hehehe)
