Bye Bye CHUO in Sarikei....

I was reading my mum's blog to found out that house in Sarikei was no longer ours. I realised tears rolling in my eyes. That was our first owned house. It was really a house!

A house where we felt easy and relax.

A house where we all lied on the couch or the floor with our leg hung high without feeling shameful, and with mum calling us to get up everytime there was guests coming, or with dad carrying asleep Nong or Onge into small room (Boon Ngieng).

A house full of our own family smell, messy and untidy with our usual stuff.

A place where only tidy for 2 weeks which was during CNY.

A place where i steamed various cakes for CNY.

A place which was nearer to Sam Ba.

A place where i met all my friends.

A place where all the family members lied flat taking nap in the afternoon.

A place where mum called it "Pig House".

I mean, it was a place where we, the sisters grew up together, seing each other everyday. It was my childhood house with my siblings. I will miss it forever. Bye bye Sarikei chuo. I will try to recall as much as memories with you and write it down in my blog because you mean a lot to me.

Saying Goodbye is Never Easy

I left Ipoh 3 weeks ago. I stepped into another chapter of my life. Chapter in Ipoh (1 Year) is done.

I left the place quite in a rush. It was totally different from what i planned due some changes last minute. Besides the doctors and the staff in ISH, i also miss Ummi dearly. Ummi is like my career soulmate. We understand each other very wwll when it comes to our work. Chatting to her about our lifes is never boring. She is a good story teller. She can talk in different accents excellently and she imitates people very well. Everytime we go out, it was after work. But tiredness never hit us that fast because we always have something to share.

When it was my last day there, Ummi wanted to have dinner with me before i leave. She wanted to say goodbye. I could feel tears rolling in my eyes. Luckily Mr Ang was there to be my comfort. This is life. People say goodbye everyday. I said goodbye but in my heart, Ummi is always around and it is never difficult to see her again. Miss you Ummi. Be safe.

Memories

I was tidying the room just now. I saw 2 pictures. One of them is myself with a Christmas tree behind. I still remember, Jia took that picture. I was smiling wide.

The second picture is a picture of me and my grandparents, in their house in Sg Xiang. Grandpa and grandma smiled satisfyingly. I had my hands at their shoulder. The house is empty now. Grandpa and grandma used to like to keep old calendars. I saw them in the picture. When i see carefully, there were calendars since 10 years back. Some even long time ago. The wall was full with calendars of different years. Sometimes, i don't understand why do they keep those. But they really reminds me of last time. Most of them with artists faces, some are sceneries.

On top of the wall were all their children's wedding picture. From Auntie Anne black-and-white photos to Auntie Suek. Never miss any of them. Some even with engagement picture. The memories are still fresh in my mind. That reminds me of something. We always go to Sg Xiang to visit grandpa and grandma, but we never catch any pictures. I regreted this. I realise i don't have any other pictures of my childhood place except this picture. A picture which show a very small corner of the lovely and memorable wooden house. I miss you, grandpa, grandma. I love you both so much.

Neck pain, shoulder pain, arms pain, EVERYWHERE pain!

Changing to a new working place really caught my nerve. I have been here merely for 3 weeks but i feel like i am a 50 years old sonographer. The occupation illness heat me - shoulder pain. Eventually i found out why. My desk is too high and the chair's highest position is still too low. Thus when i hold on my mouse for too long and the right arm is abducted more than 45 degrees for too long, the pain come. Due to personal economy crisis, i am taking public transport to my working place and that takes me 3 hours each day. If i am lucky enough, i can get a sit and sleep throughout the way, if not, i will have to stand all the way and when i stand, i have to grab something to stabilize myself. When i stand too much, my neck and my arm, and of course my shoulder is painful. i really hope that my condition will be better after i get used to the travelling part. Well, i don't mind the hardship. As the matter of fact, i chose this method because i need to force myself to walk at least a bit. Anyway, i still have back ups. i can drive to work anytime. yay!

Hi There

Hi, it has been long long time since my last blog. So sorry for the delay. It is because i had shift to a new working place in KL. Yes, i am back to KL. Coming back is fine, but the working place is a total suck! Far from my place, working without a proper job description (aka the boss can ask you to do just about ANYTHING!), overload of work, troublesome students, etc etc. It has been only 2 weeks and hate that place already. What is wrong with me? Well, forget about the misery and lets catch up what had happen for the pass few weeks.

I had farewell dinner with the doctors and families, my last dinner with Ummi at Ipoh, moving back from Ipoh to KL with Mr Ang, my first day at work, my outing with Stacia, my meeting with Diana, my date with Mr Ang, etc.. But it is quite late now. I will tell more about them later.
