Sudden change of plans...

I can't believe it, but I'll be flying back to KK again next Wednesday!!! Soooo unexpected.

It's a long story but I'll try to make it short. It's all about the pre-marriage course/talk. The thing is my partner and I were suppose to take the course this July 17th. Everything was going smoothly until my partner was assigned to go attend a convention in London on the same date. Wargh!!! Tension tension. The most barnacle part was that he can't do anything to change or cancel the trip coz apparently it was already decided by the mother company and otherbla bla bla. O_O

So since we don't have much time until the wedding, we have to find other means to take the course. Search punya search, the most suitable will be the one at Sacred Heart KK this coming June. Out of other possible options, we decided to buy the pricey flight tickets (last minutekan) and contacted the facilitator to register our names.

Luckily, I managed to book a session for PI (I think this stands for private interview) with Father on next Friday as well. I don't know whether this Father (actually it'll be Deacon Rayner, I was told) will be the one who will wed us. So ok la. Attend course and also having the PI with Deacon Rayner.

By the way, is there anyone who could share what to expect from this marriage course / talk? And the PI session... sounds scary. What should be prepared with? Tlg pls... Hehe.

Ok, so tickets bought. Problem left was my part to apply my annual leaves for the trip. See, I just came back from KK earlier of this month... And that was quite a long holiday I had. (Bah, I thought I will only be back home next August or so ma). So I can feel my boss will be mad for me to be absent for another 3 working days (blm + weekend) considering she mentioned she asked me to help in the handover session for one of my colleague who's resigning.

Having no choice but to apply these leaves I proceeded to click my submission and typed an email to explain myself. Dub dab dub dab, she then walked to my place and asked if she can she me for a minute or so. Wah, I was nervous than usual. (I think everybody was nervous the whole day after lunch too. There was this thing happened where one of our colleague was let go on the spot! I don't know what happened. Guess we'll know soon enough) So being called to a room may have triggered some interests to some of my colleagues. Hehehe.

In the room, my boss asked me further about the leave and I explained. Then she proceeded to tell me her plans for the re-distribution of accounts and bla bla bla... So my dear colleagues, no I wasn't sacked or anything.... YET. Hahahahaha. But to tell you the truth, I was so shocked that people can actually be fired just like that. Maybe I don't know the whole story but I do hope the same thing didn't happen to me or the rest of my colleagues for that matter.

So all in all, to whom who took this Catholic marriage thingy before... would appreciate if you could share your experience or should there be any special knowledge that I need to know beforehand. Tx for reading. :)

T'was good!!!

After 2 weeks of not joining the group classes at the gym, I finally went for my combat class just now... and it felt good!!! My left knee got injured 2 weeks ago, which my doctor suggested that I have sprained it. Hence, excluding high impact workouts for myself for the last 2 weeks, just to let my knee heal.

I'm not sure whether or not my knee has completely healed, but there's no more pain, just mild discomfort when I bend it extensively. Do feel ashamed of myself though. May is just one unproductive month of gym-ing. For the last 2 weeks, I did go to the gym but with less frequency and just barely walked on the treadmill. No satisfaction whatsoever.

Anyways, I'm back on track I guess. Just need to be more careful on my dear knees. I totally need to change my trainers soon. Hmm, can't wait for the sale season to start!! :)

Adam Adam Adam!!!

I wish Adam Lambert will win this season of American Idol... He's the best!!!

KK trip and all in between... yang duuuuluuu....

First day, sia pg visit one of my old fren Maha (very old, since matrik time). She just delivered like 5 days before. Sgt excited mo jumpa dia nih abis almost a year nda bejumpa. Beforehand she asked me ideas for a girl's name. The thing is, she n Tony (the husband, also old fren) were told by the OB that they're expecting a boy (99.9% boy). So they have bought all the barang2 baby either in blue or white color... And all the names prepared were also meant for a boy, Maha bilang satu ja nama perempuan yg dia pilih... Tp mcm nda best dia bilang. So when I came to their house, I proposed a name... Tiffany Rose... abis nama bapa dia Tony... so mcm siok kalau T juga mula tu nama... Trus dia bilang akan dipertimbangkan... Haha, tp ditolak juga, in the end nama yg dorang bg tu baby Elyssa Lexi. Cute kan...

Then that evening we celebrated my mummy's 48th birthday... :)

Then the 3rd day sia pg hantar sia punya BE form di Jbtn Hasil KK... Hahaha, last minute kan... Tax submission la yg paling sia malas mo buat di dunia... Termasuk dlm kiraan Top 10 benda yang paling sia benci la kali... Pastu pg KWSP update benda2 bodoh... Pendek kata hari government errands sedunia la... Masa di sini nda mo buat abis teda masa kunun.

Dan sia beli phone baru... Murah dan function cukup bagi sia... W910i... :)

Beberapa hari di rumah sia menjadi tukang masak nda berbayar (seperti biasa) dan pg pasar / supermarket membeli mknan... Siok, mcm housewife... :D

Hari pekerja, mula2 ingat mo pg labuan sama adik sia (dan family tunang dia) tp nda jadi pula. Sia ikut family sia balik Ranau... Disebabkan magadau seja, tu gunung pun terang benderang ja, teda awan.. tp teda sia ambil gambar. Malas suda sia mo gambar tu gunung... siok lagi tinguk live, capture the image in my mind... haha. Sampai di Ranau, ngam2 tamu... Jam lagi tu dari pekan sampai di area tamu... teruk o.

The next day sia ikut mummy sia pg pasar pagi di pekan ranau.. trus sia beli kui lidah yg sgt sedap.. nda sempat sia ambil gambar abis sudah. Memandangkan teda mo buat hari 6 tu sia drag family sia pg Poring... Daddy sia bilang Poooring seja.. Pa bulih buat, sia jarang2 gia balik... mesti menang kan.. haha.. Ingat mo pg Sabah Tea punya tempat tu tp nda sempat pula... hish...

Hari minggu tu kami balik sia bawa mummy sia pg salun putung rambut...dan pg mansau di 1 borneo... Siok.

But then balik dr tu mummy sia kena tlefon bilang papa sia di hospital A&E. Dia pengsan sbb sakit dada. Mula2 mummy mcm serba salah mo pg ka tidak tp dlm pukul 11pm mcm tu her sister (my aunty) called telling her that my papa's condition was serious. He was admitted to CCU (cardiac care unit) and she worried for the worst. We [mummy, daddy, me and mama (we fetch her too)] rushed to the hosp, and to tell you the truth I cried silently when I saw my papa hanging onto dear life that time... Over time one by one his children showed up... Semua a bit tensed. I dont know how many Hail Mary (s) sia baca at that time. I was really really scared of losing him (my papa). Thank God, he was stabilised few hours later and we were told to go home to let him rest.

Masa tu we were fetching my mama home, and I can almost tell how sad she was. It must be heart broken to see your life partner in such condition. I can't even try to console her as I don't know what to say. Apa yg sia rasa masa tu was penyesalan sbb selalu berjauhan dr dorang dan sia takut kalau I will have no more chance in the future to be with them. I was one of the closest grandchild to them when I was little. During school holidays I will always follow them around, became their shop assistant in their small grocery store in Sepanggar Bay. I like to follow them around cause I will be close to the sea. I guess that's why I have dark (read tanned) skin now... All those time bathing, playing in the sand, running around near the port area... But it was FUN.... I miss that. A lot.

When we reached home, it was like 3pm. I can't sleep or to be honest refuses to sleep as I need extra period of consciousness just to digest what has happened. The next day I was scheduled to go back to KL. I was hesitating. My papa was still in the CCU but much better by that time. Seriously, I was thinking to change my flight date, but I have unavoidable responsibility back at the office. What a lame excuse but I have no choice. I left KK with a heavy heart, and I was crying the whole flight.

There was a Rosary prayer held at my grandparents' house that nite and I can only say mine quietly. Next day my mummy called me saying that my papa have been transfered to a normal ward. I was relieved but it's killing me being not able to see him. Then she said he'll need to undergo a surgery to unblock one of his artery. Now, so far the surgery went well and he's recuperating at the hospital. Thank you God.

So that's about my trip back to KK. It was sweet and bitter packed into one unforgettable memory.

Back to reality..

Wah... Kejap nya sia di Sabah... now back to working life dy... sob sob... Sepa suruh mo kerja jauh2 kan? Koto ma...

There's some pics that I want to share with you guys but nanti lah... Will update later. Penat and ngantuk sudah ni...
