yoohoo~!

for most of you who have me on fb, you would've realized where missy has been for the past week as for those who don't...



Welcome to paradise baby ;)

It's Redang Island!!

snorkeling can train your stamina and help you build muscles man.

btw this is where we bunked





our room for three!


balcony view.


the super nice seaview


they even tied hammocks to the trees near the shore!


after we arrived, they brought us to snorkel at an island nearby.

sowee, no snorkeling pics cause camera's not waterproof.

we were all excited to jump into the sea and start snorkeling but when i opened my eyes and looked down all i saw was...

brown.

BROWN, BROWN, BROWN.

the corals have all turned brown =(

i never thought that pollution was so bad in the area until most of the corals were starting to die.

despite that, we still managed to see flocks of colourful fishes among the corals =)

there was only one snorkeling trip scheduled on the first day seeing that we arrived near noon.

the rest of the day was spent exploring the island.


jumping shots are a must!

i like this pic, very postcard feel =D



and then we have 2 stunt man doing yoga on the beach LOL

we even manage to find the famous more more cha house!


lalalala~~lalalala~~


we even pretended to be richie ren and ah niu they all but some1 beh song go tendang bola at us wtf.


look who came to crash our party! captain gay jack sparrow and scary gay tentacle dude.


and we jump again!


artist in action

tada! end product =D



the rest of the night was spent playing taboo and falling asleep before we even hit half of the bottle lol.




stay tuned for day 2 =)
(guaranteed more happening cause yours truly almost floated out of reach into the deep blue sea...)

the first day of form three was not a day to look forward to.

i was afraid. nervous. nerve-wrecked.

why am i being pooled together with these bunch of geniuses?

how i landed in a class of champions, i have no idea. maths wizards, modern Shakespeares and walking dictionaries filled my class.

frantic, i looked left and right in search of a familiar face.

that's when i saw you.

"shall we sit together?" you asked timidly with a smile.

your first words to me that year brought the first smile to my face at the beginning of the semester too.

and that was how we begin our journey of a year sitting next to each other.

given the difference in our intelligence level i guess i was pretty lucky to have you beside me in the best class. i remember thinking to myself that you're inhuman. how can one study so hard and score like you. you were my best reference source...and as time passed you became my best friend too.

i remember the time when you told me Kelly was your favourite singer and we both marveled at her MTVs

i remember how you would cry to me when xu bullied you all the time

i remember the time when a bee flew in and you pushed my chair with me on it to the other end of the classroom

i remember how you always told me you would mix milo with nescafe every night before exams just to stay up late to memorize all the texts

i remember the time you cried because you carelessly missed out a page in our maths exam. i thought it was silly, but strangely i wanted to cry together too.

i remember how you would always have the right answers to every question

i remember how we always waited after class together to go for house practice

we both sucked at exercise. i thought at least that was the one thing we had in common.

i remember how you were the only one who would sit with me in class patiently and assisted me with my tuition homework

i remember the time i scored and you cheered for me

i definitely remembered the time when i sneaked a bite in class and the teacher called upon me, the next thing i know you stood up and answered every question directed to me and ended up being scolded by the teacher because she said she didn't call your name.

i remember...remember...and desperately try to remember

everything about us. everything about you.

your smile, the way your hair is naturally golden brown, your laughter...everything is still etched deep inside my memories.

and here i am, clawing...grasping on to every single memory i had with you.

i thought we had the chance to create more. i thought the scholarship would only part you from us for the time being. i thought the dwindling phone calls was a phase of life when everyone's too busy.

and now i can't get to you anymore.

how i wish that the phone will ring and the caller ID will tell me you're back for holidays again

how i wish we could catch up on old times

how i wish we could talk about our dreams and the boys we liked.

how i wish that we could just speak again.


im sorry i wasn't there.

im sorry for the pain you went through.

im sorry i allowed time to distance us.

im sorry i took your existence for granted.


i miss you. so badly it hurts.

my heart aches you left like this.

i would have given my everything to protect whatever is it that was hurting you.



now you're gone...

and i'm left here wondering what could have been.



wherever you are dearest Shyn Lyn, i wish you love...and peace.

you will always be remembered in my heart. forever and always.



goodbye, my friend.

when the world betrays you and your self esteem sinks low,

it is important to remember all the little things around you that makes life beautiful.


i was told that it felt great to be greeted by my smile in the morning.

i have wonderful colleagues who will jump to my aid without me asking.

i was complemented on my effort. something i haven't felt after feeling unproductive for so long.


when negativity surrounds you and you feel like giving up,

all these little gestures are what it takes to help you move on.


i'm still healing... but i'm not going to give up on hope.


chins up girl. i <3 you.



love,
your silly self
xoxo

my super cool taxi driver

i didn't pay much attention to him as i was getting into the cab.

crisp black shirt. malay. that's all that registered.

as the taxi started moving, i passed him my ticket and mumbled "PJ" as i continued to talk into my phone.

10 minutes later, i hung up and looked to the front.

130 km/ph 0_o

then he turned around and asked me in PERFECT CHINESE:

"ni zhu na li?" (where do you stay?)

me: "YOU SPEAK CHINESE??"

him: "wo hui jiang hua yu" (i can speak chinese)

me: *obviously embarassed* "erm...ss2"

him: "kao jin taman bahagia lrt ma?" (is it near tmn bahagia's lrt station?)

me: "fu jin. wo direct ni" (it's near. i'll direct you)

and then both of us fell into silence again.

he looked young, now that i observed closely. can't be past 26.

the taxi looked like it was modified. the meter board was different from a normal waja's and there was a long metal chain hanging on his rearview mirror.
hooked on the chain was a very stylo-mylo white-rimmed sunnies.

at that point we reached the toll. i plucked up my courage and asked him the stupidest question:

"are you chinese?"

again, he replied me in perfect chinese:

"wo shi ma lai zai" (i am a malay boy)

i laughed.

because it sounded so funny!

and then he started laughing too and explained to me that he studied chinese when he was in primary.

me: *SUPER IMPRESSED* "your chinese is good!"

him: "i practice whenever i can with my chinese customers."

and we started chatting, all the way with his simple, yet perfect chinese.

me: "you look young, how old are you?"

him: "i'm 23"

WTH? he's the same age as me!?

him: "born in the year of 86 la"

me: "you're the same age as me!!"

him "oh you can be my girlfriend!"

....

him: "ok, just kidding"

LOL.

and then we started talking about his life as a taxi driver.

me: *points at meter*
"that's fast you know."

him: "normal speed la. everyone who drives an airport limo has gotten into an accident before!"

SWT.

me: "are you serious?"

him: "i just had 2 accidents today!"

OMG.

me: "WHERE?"

him: "one on the highway and one in PD. the motorcyclist in PD flew from his bike LOL!"

me: "aren't you suppose to be scared?" =.="

him:" scared la. send him go hospital, didn't die."

me: "Oh."

and then he told me that he jinxed his meter so that it's 20 km/ph slower than the actual speed.

THAT MEANS HE WAS GOING FREAKING 150 KM/PH NOW!!

and. he's. YAWNING.

wtf wtf wtf.


me: "are you sleepy?"

him: "haven't slept in 24 hours."

ZOMG.

me: "WHY DON'T YOU SLEEP!?"

him: "no time la. need to get customers."

i prayed so hard that he won't nod off T____T

me: "you're so young, why are you a taxi driver?"

him: "i've tried everything la, didn't like it."

me: "what did you study in college?"

him:"diploma in business admin"

me: "you have a diploma and you're a taxi driver?"

him: "i CAN'T STAND office work! and i did sales too, didn't work"

me: "so what you planning to do once you earn enough here?"

him: "open my own travel agency ahaha"


that's when i felt so much respect for him.

here's a guy from a small town with a diploma trying his best to live his dreams in a big city by working his ass off day and night without even once giving up or going astray like all those mat rempits.

and here we have degree holders too pampered to work and leeching off their parents, poor people who blame the rich and rob them, college/university graduates who are too proud to take on jobs they deem low and insignificant.

he reminded me of what's it like to chase after your dreams.

me: "eh, you want branded coffee?"

him: "WHAT?"

me: "STARBUCKS COFFEE. FOR FREE."

him: *eyes widened* "want want want"

i rummaged through my bag and opened my notebook.

there was a starbucks voucher slipped inside on the first page, i took it out and waved it at him.

me: "GO DRINK YOUR COFFEE. don't bang anyone already okay?"

him: "haha okay."

and with that i hopped off and strolled back into the arms of my welcoming house.


i think i learn more from talking to random strangers than from work...no?

i'm starting to miss my blackberry days... when every customer came in with a different story.

i am so not cut out for office work :(
sigh.
