gravity

What goes up must come down right? And the best part is it comes down with an acceleration of 10m/s2. So the harder you throw things upwards it's gonna come back at you worst. And then you know how it feels like...ouch!

End of Internship


3 months passed way too fast, weekdays zooms pass; weekends flies by even faster and before I know it, its time to pack. Felt a little sad as i packed as there goes my beach life, the sun, fun and sea water oh and the freedom >.<  But then during my 12 weeks here, I've learnt a tremendous lot from the people around me; from my work to my roommates to my ex-course mate to the church members at the church that I attend. I must say this, you will never know how a stranger feels until you've been one yourself, and the people here showed me great hospitality and here I am thinking I know all about hospitality. 

This is our security manager of The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa, a very friendly manager. Though I do not work directly under him, but we do liaise with one another sometimes. I used to chase after him to get his signature and he would in turn come to HR office to kacau me to see the reaction of my boss lol. He reminds me of my dad, perhaps the hairstyle maybe? lol He is someone willing to share stories and experiences with the people around him. Haiyo, don't see them so old ar, actually they all macam kiddo also, bunch of crazy people la....

Got this autographed card + pictures from my roommates, who the Taylor's gang came quite attached to. Though we may have our ups and downs but isn't that all part and parcel of relationships? The memories we create and all the fun times we had together.... unforgettable. I'll cherish these memories that we have created in Langkawi forever, and hey it's not the end yet, we are still to meet up in KL what the heck!

These are the awesome people I met in church in FGA Langkawi =)

This is Isaac, well Captain Isaac *bleh* younger than me (months only la, i not that old ok?) but already a pilot and teaching future pilots to fly. He has a great life testimony and it is God's favor and blessings that he came to this position in life. A real miracle I must say. Oh, and he is a great pianist too, real talented can't help but stare in amazement how his fingers just fly across the keyboard without him knowing the songs. It was great to have known him, real calm person but i suppose you have to be if you are gonna be a pilot =/ 



 This is Sister Angie, she couldn't come on Friday so thats why she brought me, Hoby and Isaac out for dinner on Wednesday. Such a pity I only got close to her towards the end of my 3 months there. She is a mother who goes hang out with her daughter's friend wan, lol her daughter, Carmen and Isaac and herself macam always hang out with each other wan. Lol didn't manage to hug her good bye as we reach my hostel quite late =/



 From left: Brian, Hoby and Isaac. I believe we were the only "young" ones there. Not many youths I must say, but nevertheless the people at the church are really friendly la.

The couple who sends me to church every Friday: Sister Norah and Brother Mike. Angels sent from heaven la seriously, I was praying that I wouldn't have to spend RM24 weekly just to go to church but I also prayed that if it is His will, RM24 would be it then, i'll treat it as an investment towards His kingdom, but the Lord is a prayer answering God and He sent me this couple to chauffeur me to church every Friday ^^ Lovely couple they are, reminds me of my parents too, coz of their constant bickering =/



This is Pastor Eng Kor and his wife Sister Suan Kee =) They made all the effort to bring the "homeless" trainees and people working in Langkawi together for steamboat dinner at their house. Not only that, they also brought me and Hoby to watch the sunset as well as to eat dinner at Cenang on our dunno how many weeks there. 

Alright..enough of people, before we left Langkawi for good, we took our last tour to Pantai Cenang to bid farewell to the sea and we ate our brunch at FatCupid. Really nice and relaxing place to dine in; and the owners were really REALLY REALLY friendly. They even arranged for us to tour the rooms after knowing how interested we were with their boutique style hotel. 

                                                      




The place was very white and vintage, small but cozy and the architecture is chic and nice. Really secluded so once you enter the place it is as if you are in a different world. This place is a very green oriented, eco-friendly boutique hotel, where they use natural pesticides to shoo away mosquitoes like the lemon grass and the nyamuk tree lol, dunno it's real name but nyamuk tree la! The desserts were to die for as well, I ate the Panna Cota while my friends ate the brownies with peanut butter ice-cream. Brownies with peanut butter ice-cream, you are on my to-bake-list!



I love this sign board, it's so...overseas!! Good morning in many different languages with the person's name who came from each country written on the sign board so basically guest can come and just write their names on the sign board =) We didn't get to dine in here at the Breakfast Bar but no worries, there is always a next time ;)






This is The Cliff restaurant. My friends and I macam tai tais go there chit chat, chill and drink mocktails lol fantastic view of Pantai Cenang and I must say this even if it sounds jakun, the cliff and rocks looks so amazing, just love the view la. Oh and while we were tai tai-ing, the LIMA people were practicing so we manage to see some formation of jets flying pass Pantai Cenang. 

                                                 

After tasting the sweetness of travelling , I feel like, travelling is my thing, I would like to bagpack one day and just travel around the world. It's amazing how many people you can meet just by travelling, I've so far already met 2 groups of strangers, and one of them has been bugging us to yum cha with them back here in KL. Amazing huh? how we can meet people just by travelling together. 


                                           
And so with this, farewell to clear blue skies. sandy beaches, starry nights, fun times and relaxing days. It's time to hit back the books and concentrate for the next couple of semesters. It was a fun filled trip while it lasted, but now it's over and the months ahead are going to be challenging so JIA YOU AH!

做人有时候真辛苦...

Sometimes it's not that the person is heartless and cruel, but it's to teach the other person a lesson so that they won't do it again in the future. If you let them get away with it, they would take advantage of you thinking that "it's ok, he/she won't mind, very nice wan that person!"

At first u might think that, "wah, so mean man why she like that wan?" but thinking of the big picture, it saves a lot of disappointment in the future. 长痛不如短痛嘛.. Perhaps another way would be to still help that person but also bring the person one side to talk about your displeasure.

I think sometimes the person does not really feel angry towards you but they just want you to learn the lesson because sometimes saying "nvm la" wouldn't make u pai seh enough to learn your lesson so I guess you just have to show the ugly side of yourself just to set things back to their respective place.

I suppose it's how the way you look at things, if u see it as a small picture, yes it's mean, but look at the big picture and they will know their boundaries.
