 Sunday, April 05, 2009Hello all! Proper post this time instead of some doom and gloom one liner lol... Had a one week course over the past week; it has been a long long time since I've had to sit still in class and pay attention for more than a couple of hours! And the course coordinators were absolute slave drivers; class started at 730 and more often than not ended at about 630, AND there were no proper breaks scheduled; we had to put our hands up and request one when things were getting on a bit.Anyways I'm done with the rig life now, going back to the office this Tuesday and starting back in my original department.. pretty nervous about it all; it's been a hell of a long time since I'd done any geology! But I have something to look forward to before that; my friends from London are coming to visit!! F and M got their tickets a couple of days ago, and N just got hers last night! I'm so excited; I've not seen them since graduation in May last year! Taking 2 weeks off of work and will be taking them around KL, Singapore and Brunei of course :)) It'll have to be a pretty whirlwind sort of tour, cause they're only here for 2 weeks; but I can't wait!! Also, there might be a trip to Lebanon coming up in July, another EP00 reunion; hopefully that'll come through too... It's been ages since I went anywhere, the last time was... Egypt and Dubai in November! And I may as well go away before I get too bogged down in the office.. Anyways; not to end this post on a depressing note or anything but I reckon I definitely am incapable of being interesting for more than a few months at a time =/ Hope all's well with everyone (well everyone who's still reading this anyways lol) xoxoxoxoxox Wednesday, March 18, 2009...if I'll ever feel happy, loved, wanted, pretty and needed ever again.Saturday, February 21, 2009I'm tired of putting on a happy face for everyone. My grandfather's in the hospital and he has been for the past 2 weeks.. every time I see him he seems to be getting weaker instead of better. I feel like I'm back in the same situation I was in a year ago. I want to shout, scream and cry, but I don't know anyone I could do that in front of.As cliched as it sounds, I feel really quite alone in a crowded place. Tuesday, November 04, 2008Just off the rig today, and off to Dubai tomorrow evening, and then on to Cairo on the Saturday for the next 2 weeks for a mini EP00 reunion :) Should be good fun, I'm looking forward to it, plus I think I need to get away from here and some stuff for a while. And of course, I'm staying true to myself; it's now 1115 pm, and I've not done a bit of packing! I may just do it all tomorrow... The airconditioning in my room's busted, apparently there was a power surge and it's just conked out, so I don't want to spend so much time in my room, it's too hot and sticky. I also need to fit in time to visit Auntie Mila and my manicurist at some point in the morning tomorrow, so I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight! Ah well, I can always sleep on the plane.Will be getting back on the 18th and straight back to work on the 19th; so I guess no updates for a while, unless I find some time to borrow my friend's laptop. Went to Miri after work today just to grab a frappucino in the Miri Starbucks. Well, my friend had offered to drive; and it's only 45 minutes from home, so why not? The toffee nut frappucino is definitely worth a try, if anyone's going there anytime soon! Lots of love, xoxoxoxoxoxox ~MockingBird~ { 15:08 }

the last time you posted was in november??
happy new year, i hope you've got a more exciting plan than i have tonight! Post a Comment Thursday, October 16, 2008Based on conversations I've had with a few girl friends, it seems like the girls I know would only consider going out with guys who are of the same education level as them...So, if they were degree holders, they wouldn't even consider going out with someone who didn't have a degree. I was just wondering whether this is a general consensus, or just the personal preferences of my friends...?I personally believe a piece of paper, whether a degree certificate, masters, HND, whatever doesn't make someone better or worse for you. Someone's level of education does not dictate whether he'll be a nice guy, whether he'll be someone you can have good conversations with, and all the other things you expect from a boyfriend. But then that's just me. Any thoughts, ladies? xoxoxoxox ~MockingBird~ { 07:40 }

If a guy didn't have the same education level as I am (or higher), I wouldn't have minded.
You are right, whatever their qualification is, it doesn't make them any better (or worse). Who knows, maybe those with higher qualifications are more close-minded than the ones who weren't so lucky? Because, and this is just a general observation, the higher qualification you have, the more the tendency of you looking down to others. Of course, I also know a lot of people who have degrees, masters, PhD qualifications who are really down-to-earth. But really, back to the point, it really should not matter their level of qualification. Knowing how to take care of you, and knowing not to be a jerk to you was not part of the syllabus, I bet. hiya babes. i'm sure you know how i feel about this... i find girls like that very shallow. it is true that the only way to a decent career in this country is through a piece of paper. but that doesnt mean to say that just cos the guy doesnt have that piece of paper doesn't mean the guy won't ever think about getting it, kan? or what if the guy has other skills that can be made into a career without the paper? antah. it's stupid. and yeah, i suggest degree holders should stop looking down on people who haven't had the opportunity to go as far as they have, whether it be from lack of funding, support or even just having the brains for it. ish....... it annoys me. Post a Comment Monday, October 13, 2008I'm probably one of the last few people who've not seen Mamma Mia yet; but I finally sat down and watched it this afternoon and absolutely loved it! Went out and got the OST as soon as I could and I'm now singing along to it lol :) My favourites're "Last Summer" and "Lay All Your Love On Me". It's such a good film, and I wish I had caught it on stage when I was in London.. bet it would've been one of those musicals where the audience'd be singing alone to every song, like We Will Rock You was.So, the past week has been a flurry of catching up on Raya; been visiting friends, entertaining guests and also had an open house over at mine's last Friday. I've been trying to restrain myself from going all out with the cakes and biscuits, but I just can't resist the odd kuih mor or two, and tapak kuda...but hey, after a month(ish) of fasting, I feel a few treats won't hurt. Back at work in a week's time, but I've got to be in the office for the next couple of days, to finish up my career review; it doesn't feel like it at all, but in 2 weeks' time, I'll have been working for exactly a year!! Hasn't felt like it at all, and when I think back to this time last year when I was twiddling my thumbs because I didn't have any work to do, and didn't have anybody to hang out with, it feels like an age ago. Loads of things happening this year, some good, mostly bad. Can't wait for the year to be over really. Haha and for some reason.. I feel like I've gone back to square one all over again. Have a good week! xoxoxoxoxoxooxox Tuesday, October 07, 2008I'm back! Never have I been so glad to finish a hitch; the past two weeks have been the longest, and pretty much the least interesting out of all my hitches so far. Not to mention there was a bit of a personality clash with one of the guys I was working with in the first few days. It's all sorted now, but it was a bit tense in the cabin for a couple of days. All resolved over a nice Indian dinner :)So I'm all ready to start my Raya this year, albeit a week later than everyone else, but hey, better late than never right? I wasn't in the mood when I came back initially, but then I saw my new bajus hanging in the closet, and my friends started texting about going Raya-ing with them and about coming to visit my place. It'll be the first time in a few years that I'll go Raya-ing with my friends, last year I was too ill and totally depressed about being home to care much. One slight fly in my ointment: For the past few days my gum has been swelling at my lower right molar, and I went to see the onsite medic to see what she had to say. And she told me that my wisdom tooth is impacting on my 2nd molar, causing my gum to swell up, and in turn causing an inflammation on my tonsil (I'm not sure how my gum and tonsil are related, but hey, I don't have a medical degree, so who am I to argue?). So for the past two days I've been having difficulty chewing and swallowing, I should really go see a dentist but I'm really worried about what would happen if my tooth needs extracting, I really really do not want to spend the next week or so with hamster cheeks and a liquid diet. Call me vain, but I don't want that look to be documented for this year's Raya photos! I think I'll wait it out a bit longer, pain has abated slightly after my supervisor did some "acupuncture" on my hand this morning; i.e. he located a pressure point on my right hand and squeezed hard. Apparently it's meant to release endorphins and reduce the pain in my gums. And you know what, it worked! However, I'm not sure if this is because of the pain in my hand (and it's a lot of pain) has caused my brain to temporarily forget my tooth. Trying to get my body back onto Brunei time now; hopefully I'll be able to sleep through the night and turn my body clock the right way around. Good night all! And a belated Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
