Day 3 of KL (little) drama

After the previous post, I went for a shower and down for breakfast.
Then up for make up, pack up and check out.
And made my way to the gym.
Before you wonder when I've become so healthy, it wasn't me working out.
The class looks fun though but less than half of the participants turned up.
Oh well... Like what Hazel said, we've tried our best so job's done.
I did a little shopping in between - no, I didn't go crazy - and shortly before the class ends, I left for airport.

Check-in could only be at 4pm and I was 5mins early.
By the time counters were opened, there was a queue.
I've never been early for check-ins so I'm wondering these people want better seats?
With the queue and the time spent in getting a taxi, I reached LCCT (their budget terminal) at about 5pm.

Now, you would think nothing's wrong so far right?
Me too.

Except I miscalculated the time and left for airport at 545pm.
My flight's 620pm and getting back takes about 15mins.
I also miscalculated or rather forgot the amount of time needed to check in (there was a queue again!) and to get to the gate.
With the gate closing in 10mins time, I decided I needed to be thick skinned and pleaded with a Chinese couple to let me cut the queue.
Thank goodness nice people exist.
By the time I checked in, I had 5mins to get to the gate.
I still needed to take a train.
So I ran all the way with my bag, laptop and a stack of contest forms.
And having not exercising for the longest time, you can imagine how much and how fast I ran.
It was like my little moment of Amazing Race or the scene from Home Alone where the whole family was running to their plane. Except I wasn't fast at all.
Yea, nonsense stuff I could think of when I was panicking and running.
Thank goodness once again, I made it eventually.
And yes, I was the last passenger.

Drama ended?
Not that fast.
I reached home to realise I did not lock my luggage at all.
I kinda forgot how it works and happily left it unlocked :)
I can be that dumb at times.

Whatever it is, I'm safe and sound now.
Buddha's watching me :)
Thank you.

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

I would like to erase 2016

It feels like the end of the world but it's not. Or maybe a really bad nightmare. But it's not. Time heals all wounds. But it doesn't (heal) scars. Time reminds you the distance between us. That you are long gone. The pain, I have no words for. The tears, I have no control of. Well, sometimes I try to hold them back and sometimes, I allow myself to be defiant and cry out loud. I'm worried to hold you back with those tears but I'm worried I'd stop thinking of you one day. That one day, everyone pretends you never happened. Or that we forget something along the way. People say life goes on. Sure it does. Without you that is. 2016, I fucking hate you. I know this too will pass and when I'm more at peace, I'd be able to forgive you. But I'd never forget. I'd learn to let go instead.
