flashback . twentyeleven-may

10.30am coded 130612, Wednesday morning and I'm out of the institute during working hours. Nope, I'm not 'SEH WONG' (snake king)... I'm bringing my students out for outdoor activity and I'm waiting for them. Got a little mix of emotion these few days. Happy because I'm throwing out some burden from my shoulder but sad at the same time to let the load off. Like the old saying, human will never satisfy. Or I should say that things are always like this. There is good and there is bad. Whichever comes first, just face it with the best solution and method. The best things are creating the memories all the way. I'm reaching May now.

flash-back . twentyeleven-april

10.32pm coded 030612, Sunday night and a few days fresh from June. It's been a busy weekend as me and my business partner are boxing up our stuff in the boutique before hanging it back to the owner this coming mid-June. During the boxing up, memories kept popping out as we've just started the business but it was actually a year and half ago. That's why things or stuff equals importance. It brings memory or a hint of something. Just like the coming April calendar diary, so much happened in a year.

flash-back . twentyeleven-january

11.30pm coded 060512, Sunday night. After rain and I'm finally back to blogging this little blog of mine. It has been half year since I key in my password to unlock this dictionary. Thank god I still remember the combinations or else I might need to get a new dictionary. Things have been a little different comparing to a week before today. Because, a week before, marital status = single. This week, marital status = married. How do I feel? Not much difference if you really wants the honest answer. Just feels funny when you try to say 'boyfriend' and ended up with 'boy..b..h..husband'. But married doesn't mean anything on stopping my dictionary fill up process. Life goes on. Blog goes on.

New mission on board. I've decided to spill out my little happenings during twentyeleven accordingly from January to December. Welcome onboard and do enjoy the ride.

There goes January. As I remembered.

to the sand, sea and stone

2.20am coded 210911, Wednesday morning. In my room and I’m tanned. The sun kissed me so bad and I need to hug the sunblock even in my sleep. It was Friday back then and it was a holiday! The Malaysia Day drops on September 16^th and holiday means vacation and it’s a special vacation for me. Been talking and planning about it for months and finally it was here and gone with a great memory. All goes as like this...

September 16^th 2011 . Friday

. 8.30am .
People were parading and when you see balloons, it means celebration. It was the celebration of Malaysia Day and it was crowded not only with balloons but supporters.

. 9.00am .
Since the journey was delayed an hour due to a runaway bus, 'we' walked a few alleys for 'my' breakfast. Why 'my'? Because I was the only one who was raising my hands for breakfast. To save more time and avoid another runaway bus, we took the back alley instead of the main road.

. 9.45am .
The bus came and off we go. It was a 'public' bus and what I'm covering here is that 'public' bus means besides strangers all around, they pick up every single person waiting at the consecutive bus stops.

. 10am - 12.30am .
It's hot, non air-condition, packed with people and John Lennon came to the rescue to shield me from the kiss of the sun. Packed with different races, it really brings out the One Malaysia feeling.

. 12.10noon .
Reaching the jetty, 'we' rushed to the ticketing counter to grab our boat tickets or else 'we' will need to swim to the other side. 20mins passed and finally the boat reached.

. 12.45pm .
Reaching our destination, 'we' hailed a 'taxi' which actually looks more like a 'van' and it was a pink taxi to send us to our 3 day home stay house.

. 1.30pm - 3pm .
After a quick lunch on take aways, dinner was on mind and eating out might be too expensive if and so the solution was to cook at our temporarily home and off 'we' go to a nearby store which sells everything that the house chef needs. It was an old convenient shop with groceries. Too bad that the landlord will take back the place and the store owner will stop the business the next coming month. Another nostalgic sight gone.

. 3pm - 6pm .
Before the sun goes away, it's time to meet the sand, sea and stone. Though the sky was a bit dark on that day but still the sun keeps shining bright through the clouds.

. 7pm - ZZZ .
Dinner was ready in just an hour after 'we' cameback from the sea. After dinner it was dessert time and ice-cream was the best choice. We went for extra refreshments in the landlord's home and ended the night with a beer game before going to bed.

September 17^th 2011 . Saturday.

. 5.30am .
The alarm was singing and everyone woke up to see the sunrise. We rent a few bikes to make it easier for our journeys around the island. The day was still dark and head lights were on along the way till we reach the best spot for sunrise catching. After a few minutes after reaching the spot, it was disappointed because the clouds had a fight with the sun and was blocking the way. And so we head for our breakfast.

. 8am .
While some stays at the house, some out to fetch the other fews who reach the island the day after our first day, I made my way with some of them to the beach for an early view and to smell the early breeze.

. 10am - 2.30pm .
When 'we' united, it's time for the sea again. This time, the landlord brought us to a nearby beach which needs a few kilometres away from our home stay locaiton. For the first time in my life, I dared myself to jumps off from the stair of the bridge and landed straight into the sea. Ball game is a must and the wind was driving us crazy. Snorkeling was the activity after and we went back to the house for lunch. The house chefsss cooked a great meal again.

. 5pm .
After napping and walking around, everyone was ready for another adventurous challenge. Hiking beside the sea. It was funny at first as for normal people, sea is a place to swim but you do hike beside the big mountains surrounding it. The landlord brought along his son and his pet dog named 'A-kon' to hike with us. Again there were some slight problems occured as the route he usually takes was demolished and so we need to do a U-turn or else, everyone down into the sea and swims back.

. 8pm - Zzzz .
Dinner time. We went to the landlord's home for barbeque and the night goes well with some games and dancing around, group photos and even some drunk scenario. Overall it was gooooood~.

September 18^th 2011 . Sunday.

. 10.30am .
It was time for packing and cleaning up the place. Though it was sad to leave but all things need an end to it and the will be a great memory to all of us. I'm already missing everything and everyone connected to the Pangkor trip. Love the place, love the events, love the incidents and love the people around me.
