I miss home

I went shopping yesterday.
I went shopping the day before yesterday.
I went shopping just now.

So everyday I shop. It's so meaningless. I mean I still don't understand why people love to shop? I had had headache just now because I went to this small little place where they are selling at wholesale price and I nearly fainted. The amount of people there is like herds of cows getting into the farm. I wouldn't have gone there if not because of my friend's boyfriend's Muay Thai pants and also my sisters skinny jeans. I wanted to go home so badly because I believe in comfort.

I felt so sick now. Sick because I am sick of shopping and also the streets of Bangkok is so dirty with murky water and smelly drains every where I go. God bless Malaysia!

I want to go home. I miss home. Jeez...I miss home. I really do miss home. I miss the fresher air, I miss the cheap petrol, I miss the cheap food and I miss my bed and my pillow and my room. I miss my laptop and PC and I miss my TV where it doesn't speak Thai.

I miss everyting in Malaysia. Let it be horny old men, I prefer to see them than staying here in Bangkok with loadsa mosquitos. I got stung 8 times today. Crazy mosquito country.

Why do I miss home so much? Since America, I have been missing home. Maybe I have grown older, old people's syndrome of missing home...

Although I have bought tonnes of clothes, I think I got 8 more new items to my closet, I am still not happy. See...it is not material happiness that I am seeking. It's someting else which I have to find out.

I miss home dearly...Maybe I am away from home for too long already plus the fact that I am in the country I am not so fond of. *sob*

Bored

Owhh..someting is really wrong with me...

How wrong can it be? Very wrong...

a) I was so bored I read about Cyclotron in Wikipedia today. Then I read about the Hearst Corporation simple because I went to the Hearst Castle in San Simeon before. And then I read about the defination of sociology (about Pink collar, old money and stuff)...Jeez...Since when I am so hardworking?

b) I work (For the very first time in months, I sort of some stuff for my work). Amazing.

c) I went for a dance class somewhere in Bangkok. Samba, Cha Cha, Rumba and Waltz all in less than an hour (As if I remember anything). They only speak Thai and Thai alone. My jaw got cramp because I smiled too much simple because I don't understand what they are trying to say. So I just smile and smile and smile. Did I mention I was the youngest there? Everyone is over 55 to be exact. Then came a Scottish which is as tall as me and taught me dancing when I was yawning and yawning non-stop for the whole one hour. (I am still having Jet-lag). And after all the dancing...I didn't know his name is John. Wahahahahaha. I have been so ignorant these days. And yeah... my old man aura is more powerful than before...

d) I went online as much as I can. My friends are tired of seeing me online they ask me to get out from the house and explore Bangkok. Erm...what is there to explore?

e) I am amazingly bored. I think I am going shopping after this.

Ramblings

Come back early yooooooooo!

Come back early and start work!

Come back early coz we miss you...

Come back!

Get your ass back here!

Come back here la...why you like to leave the country so much?

Come back ASAP!

Come back, life is so meaningless without you!

Weird right? Now that I am out of the country, my family and friends miss me. When I am standing in front of them no one ever tell me how much I am worth.

Although a part of me miss home very much (maybe because of the fact that I know I need to pay the bills and my other responsibilities), I would still love to stay here a bit more longer. Afterall, I don't think I will be able to relax like this once I start work.

Owh...I am really fat now. How can I go back with THAT amount of fat?

Bloodbath Summary

Okay...*breathe*...relax...Now I am listing down what I bought on the 23rd of May only

- another Coach tote (most expensive item for myself)
- 0ne big Samsonite luggage bag (because I have no more space for my stuff so I have to buy a new one and also it's the 2nd most expensive item for myself)
- one pair of Nine West gladiator sandals
- 2 Dockers Khakis
- one pair of Levis jeans
- one pair of Armani Exchange jeans
- 2 Guess T-shirts
- one Fossil watch for my sis which is out of my budget
- one bottle of Stella Mccartney (it was between this one and my normal Dolce and Gabbana but I decided to change my smell)
- one pair of pink Aigner wedges
- one pair of cheap sunglass for don't know who (impulsive buying)
- one pair of Aigner not-so-chunky gold bracelet

A few days back, I bought a 500GB Western Digital "My Book" external hard drive for USD129.99 excluding tax which I later regret because my friend bought the same thing in Malaysia and it costs lesser. the greatest deal would be 3 Maybelline mascaras + make-up remover for USD11.99. All in Costco. Inearly bought myself a Nintendo DS Light but I controlled myself.

Along the way, I bought a lot of fridge magnets and keychains because I am nuts. So now in Bangkok, I am going to shop for some things tomorrow or the day after tomorrow before heading to Perth. I am not 100% sure about the Perth trip but it is in the plan.

Hmm....I think I shall continue blogging tomorrow as I am feeling hungry now at 4am. I hate jet-lags...

*UPDATE

Oh well...I can't sleep

Yesterday was pretty much a fucked up day for me at LAX. The stupidest airport ever. The worse airport ever. Believe me, the people are rude, they are racists just because I have yellow skin. And me and my grandmother got quarantine for about 15 minutes in front of hundreds of people just because I pass her her boarding pass. It was like in a Hollywood movie when 3 officers shouted FREEZE and I was like WTF? Is that me? It was embarassing but I was really ANGUISH. Maybe I do look like a terrorist or whatever but WTF? Then they detained me for 15 minutes in a 3-glass walled room which is like a small cage to me.

Then they speak something in spanish to each other (which of course I don't bloody understand) and then one of them checked my body and they let me go in a mere 15 seconds. Because of that 15 seconds body-check, they put us in that place for 15 minutes. What kinda shit is this?

Anyway, since I first arrived at LAX I hate Los Angeles very much. I got homesick by day 3. It's considered as "Rare incident" when I get homesick. It was THAT bad. Racist airport!

The whole trip, let me summarize for you, I travelled about 75% of California (which is 2 times the size of Malaysia) and I can say that...all you have to do is....watch your Hollywood movies and don't waste time coming to Los Angeles.

The only worthy place to visit would be San Francisco and Monterey (make sure you go whale-watching). Hollywood stuff, it is exactly the same from glossy mags, TV, E-Online, etc. And once again I hate LAX.

Go to Nevada and visit Las Vegas and Hoover Dam (remember Transformers? Yeah, they filmed it there), go to Utah and Arizona for the Canyons and nature stuff.

Anyway, after a shitty day where
- I am being treated like an immigrant
- an air-stewardess accidently pour some coke on my blanket
- an air-stewardess accidenlty drop a few plastic cups still filled with water on my foot
- I have to sit near the toilet where I can smell "bad smells" after much needed nature's call from the passengers
- I don't get to do anything at all where the screen died on me. It FROZE!!!

Somehow, on the 2nd flight back to Bangkok, a very nice Taiwanese man in his 30s helped me out with my luggage and he is nice enough to make sure my screen works well throughout the flight because I became very grumpy after the whole screen went blank on my 3rd round of Zuma. Before that on the first flight, another Taiwanese guy next to me was nice enough to carry my luggage for me. Wahahahahahaha....Taiwanese men are just so nice.

Photos coming up...

Bloodbath Part 1

OMIGODDDDD

Today is like the first official day of my US shopping and I bought:

- 2 Coach pouch
- 2 Aigner purse and pouch
- 1 Liz Claiborne handbag
- 1 Tommy Hilfiger Tote bag
- 1 pair of Guess heels
- 1 pair of Nine West
- 1 pair of Liz Clairborne shoes

Yeah...Just for today.

I felt it's way too cheap. OMG! I wanna bring back the whole of US. I don't know how much I spent today, but I know I am going to spend all my US Dollars here as I will treat this as my first ever shopping trip in 3 years.

I love this boring place. Now I know why Brad Pitt is so good looking (when he's young).

Monterey, California

Hello everybody,

I am now in a city called Monterey in California. Borinnnnnng place to be. Famous for whale watching but the old people in my group says NO to WHALES. So me and my uncles have to plan another thing instead. Boohooo...

Next to Monterey is a place called Carmel where Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston came from. Whooooo...can't believe a small place like this can produce beautiful people like them. Awwwwww...so sweet.

Omigod...I am bored. Thank god there's internet. And oh yes, I am fat. Imagine having Angus cheeseburgers with fries 3 times a week. Wahahahaha....fatty fatty...

BTW, I still like San Francisco. I love Vegas and SF very much. So I am planning a retirement plot here. Wahahaha....

San Francisco

Wahahahaha...Internet at last. My love for the internet is endless. I love internet more than anyone on earth. Internet is my life.

Okay...Now I m back in San Francisco and I love this place as much as I love Germany. But I still love Germany more. They are more civilized. It's pretty windy and cold here especially at night.

It felt as if I am here for 2 months already. Imagine everyday about 8 hours inside the car to go from one place to another. Eating junk food and american food and also no exercise at all. Holiday with relatives is not easy. These people who go on trips with me are luxurious people, they only eat good food, spend on luxury goods and everything is good and expensive. And that doesn't work on me. I don't know why. I don't find it a point spending about USD200 on a single meal. Dats me.

Somehow I miss talking to my friends and people. I need human. As in humannnnnn!!!

I rather go on a holiday with my close friends sometimes. At least I don't have to follow obligations. This trip is a "clean" trip. No alcohol at all.....no clubs, no nightlife. OMG!!!

Hmm....I wonder where you people go when I go online? Please go online and talk to me. Poor me!

Grand Canyon-ness

When I was in Cambodia, I got Temple-sick. Now in Arizona, I got Canyon-sick. America is damn bloody huge. I had to endure 7-8 hours of painful car ride just to get to the Grand Canyon from Los Angeles and another don't know how many hours from Grand Canyon to Glen Canyon within the same state. Jeez...

Now I m in a sleepy town called Page in Arizona. I am heading to Las Vegas tomorrow and then to San Diego and then to San Franscisco and then I don't know where. I am lost.

Roadtrips are meat for young people. I meant really young people. I have been sleeping in a few different hotels and lodges ever since I touched down. I have had so many burgers that I am feeling the bulge on my tummy. I have had so much fast food, junk food and unhealthy food for the past few days. Oh Nooooo!!!

Anyway, I am happy to be away from home for a while and also I am internet-less for a few days. I felt so saaaaaad without internet. Owhhhh...it's far more worse than missing someone. Haha. maybe because I got no one to miss except for my friends who don't seem to miss me at all and doesn't seem to care to contact me while I am here. *sob*

Why is everyone not online at this time of the day? Owh...I forgot. I am too much behind. I am still living my 11th of May life wherelse all of you are living a 12th of May life. Jeez....

By the way, I am fat like a pig. Anyone know what I can do to reduce this?

May 08, 2008

Carrrrrribean...baby!

Should I or should I not go to the Carribean?


Hmmm...should I? I have an invitation from my long lost friend to visit Trinidad and Tobago and we will go island hopping for a week. Hmm...should I? I will be really damn broke by then. No more DKNY stuff for my sis, no more Coach bag for my aunt. But WTF, I think I should!

May 07, 2008

Holidayyyyy..OoOOOooooOOO

Holidays means...

- losing weight (amazing huh?)
- better skin (smoother and softer skin...wahahahaha...I can save more on creams)
- eating slowly, not rushing, breathing like human
- spending time with relatives, shopping for family (Talking about shopping, my sis wanted a DKNY watch badly which I m likely to get one for her becoz I m too soft-hearted sometimes)
- spending more money on junks like clothes and clothes and clothes (It's revenge time)
- forgetting my german language proficiency (no one speaks to me...DIEEEEE!!!)
- my brain functions slower than normal (I work better under pressure)
- chatting with nearly everyone on MSN or SKYPE or Yahoo Messenger because I am bored in the afternoon but everyone is always "Away"
- being lazy

Apart of me is not willing to leave this holiday. But I have to face the reality of life...is to work till my ass off for surviving life. So ironic...Life is indeed beautiful.

So which to choose?
- a job as a Business Executive? or
- scholarship to study in Germany for a few years and work as a Lecturer with a local university (after the studies) by contract?

Of Fleeing

Reasons why I should flee the country:

1. My engine oil got stolen
- Damn pathetic rite? Engine oil which is not worth much but got stolen (in a more polite manner, took without my permission). It was taken away by my aunt's husband which claims to pay RM30,000 of tax money per year. Ptui! Puhleeze...if you're THAT rich, why do you still need to take my engine oil and pretend nothing had happened and your wife sneakingly compensate me back? Not only that, you took my grandmother's towel holder, water dispenser, and a few other things which you think we might not noticed. How nice of you to do that.

Jeeeez....still pretend to flash me with your LVs and Guccis? Please....even if you told me you have whatever brand watches in the world, you don't have my respect. I hate people taking advantage of other people and pretending to be damn filthy rich. Engine oil for god's sake.....I HAVE MY CAR ASWELL, MY CAR NEEDS OIL ASWELL!!!

Pathetic...

2. Bullshit of unnecessary things
We're talking about the wife of the person who took my engine oil, sadly...she's apart of the family. The amount of bullshit that she told me is like the pile of rubish the whole neighbourhood combined together. Yeah, that much!

I will just reply her with ,hmmm ,uhhhh, ohhh, kieee, laaaa, noooo, urm. But she still can't get the jest that I don't want to listen to her bullshit. And as the asian culture goes, respect the old people. Okay....patience....

3. When ever the word "linguistics" appear...
There will be people who give me tonnes of stories of my "very dark future". Yeah, everyone will act like a fortune teller telling me I will be so doom in the future with no job offers, no future, in short, worth less than a garbage bin. Fine. I am happy if people look down on me. I am enjoying every single moment of it. Better still, I look stupid and future-less.

4. I am not happy
Main reason why I am not happy is because of myself. What triggers that to happened actually came from a few factors:
1. I am not happy
2. I am not happy
3. Refer to number 1 and number 2.

I am not talking about fleeing the country forever. Just a while. For a year or 2 maybe. What happened yesterday was indeed another episode of my very unique life with amazingly smart people around me who thinks I am okay with everything.

Tomorrow would be my last paper. OMG!!! My last paper (if I pass everything this semester). Unbelivable. I have been counting down for the past few months just for this. Awwww...

Come let's go have some ice-cream...
