WAHAHAHAHA. I FINALLY GOT MY MANUSCRIPT PUBLISHED! YAY!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

It's really odd, that when I am here at this blog page, I cant seem to blog. But when I'm away, or busy doing something else, I would have this muse to blog and tell a nice story.

Sigh.. it's so hard to sync blogging ideas to blogging.

Anyway.. about life, I am currently in love with this song by Khalil Fong called "Ai Ai Ai (Love love love)" and i SHALL be learning how to play the guitar version of it, whenever I have the time next. It's going to be Chinese New Year soon, and my closet is entirely cleared of old crappy clothes and left with nothing but nicer pieces of clothes that i even wear soemthing nice to sleep (as i have cleared my closet of all crappy clothes). I bought five pairs of shoes...and I have no idea what's wrong with me. I also bought other things.. which i supposed it would help me look better EXCEPT i manage to put on weight before CNY. hah! great. Oh well...

I am having problems about my Vietnam trip... kinda need to settle my accommodation fees, as well as save up for expenses. Sigh.... this is the consequence of traveling without proper budgeting. then again, i suppose it's the only way to make a trip happen because it FORCES you to do it. Rather than saving all the money aside and never have heart to spend it. First step to making a trip happen, buy the plane tickets. The rest will just HAVE to fall into place because u have taken the first step. :D

I think one of the reasons i could travel as much as I do is because i looked out for promotions.. particularly for airfare and travel package. sometimes, i would even go for early-bird promo for next year's package (geez!). still.. planning is good. u provide an 'insured income' for the resort and they'll be glad that they have a customer. As for me, I have a trip.

This year, apart from the family trip to Ho Chi Minh City, i will also be going on a dive trip in Pulau Lang Tengah. After that, it's truly FULL steam ahead for research and work, all the way till August, where a couple of divers i met in Sipadan last year will be meeting up again for the MOLA-MOLA & MANTA season in BALI! BALI BALI BALI! HURRAH!

still.. that's going to be like another RM2k burnt.. although Renee is giving me the tickets for free. :D Gotta love that girl. Renee is my roommate I met in Sipadan Island and she's an airstewardess for AirAsia. She is giving me this free ticket to Bali so that we can dive together for the mola2. I never thought I would be able to see the sunfish until.. at least i start working or something.

Still.. my MAIN target for now, particularly in travel plan, is my transcontinent trip. I'm flying to London (one way) and slowly inch back the continent until my money depleted and fly home frm the end point. :D and that, i am hoping that I can do it in 2010.

I hate people who takes others for granted, particularly when others care about them. Such un-appreciative notions can be easily seen through lack of effort in REPLYING EMAILS nor even able to spend 3 minutes of their precious time to reply a message or drop A LINE after receiving an email from others just to inform the inconvenience of writing an update to the other person.

I dont like... people who takes me for granted. I dont like people whom i treat as friends to treat me like crap. I just dont think that there is ever a possibility that one cannot find time to inform others that they are busy, and ignore that one email for weeks, while within that weeks of waiting for a reply, several other emails come in to updates and check on the party concerned. I supposed I'm being too emotional on this matter but.. what the heck. At least a reply during christmas or new year from my text would be some sort of acknowledgment. but.. i guess the world does not revolve around ME.

I also didnt like the fact that when I travel, others tag along without helping me PLAN the trip. Even though I have mentioned time and times again, to draft out the itinerary or budget, all i get is.. 'when i have the time'. okayy... when u have the time, read my travel blog adventures then.

I have decided to go on MY OWN backpack trip, and just move along with MY life's plan without these people who just wouldnt help me in realizing a dream instead, just keeping me from living it. So, if u wanna keep dreaming, be my guest. I've got money to save, continent to cross and a world to see. Adventures ahead.. waiting for me. YOU can keep dreaming and stick to your attitude. Just dont stand in my way.

2009 ... it didnt seem to me that it's a good start because i'm so irritable this year. particular at the beginning. oh well.. good or bad, life goes on. i SHALL just continue my life with the good.
