感触良多...

其实在collate pictures for TCC 时，看了几年前大家写的blog, 读了挺有感触的..照片有些是从blog copy 的。。有些是HN 拍的..他挺喜欢拍照的..还好他拍了很多照片不然就没有能做成collage…有机会大家去看看过去写过的blog, 我感触良多, 获益不浅…虽然偶尔会有点想哭, 不过是快乐的哭…

TCC, 要好好把握在异乡的experience, so that 我们到BKK时, you can bring us around…哈哈…我们是有目的的…哈哈…

MAGGIE, 不要给人家欺负…只要你觉得是对的, 不要因为别人的质疑而怀疑自己…对自己有信心一点…

NEE, 你终于踏上你梦想的道路, 继续前进吧, 我们会在旁为你加油的!!!

SWING, 你有个很疼你的他, 希望你已经把以前变成现在的勇气, 希望他是带给你幸福的他…

ZHEN, 偶尔牺牲一点睡眠陪我们聊天嘛…还有, 不要还没踏出第一步就决定放弃…you never know wat u r gg 2 miss…it’s beta 2 ‘ve tried den never know wat it cld ‘ve been…

CHRIS, 很高兴你可以make it, but不要常常敷衍我们ok?

DEAR DEAR, 谢谢你对我的呵护和容忍… =)

1 o my colic, V, was totally despicable...she stole other pple's ideas & wrote e paper..it was supposed 2 b a combined paper by me & e person who came up wif e idea, LS.. but b4 we cld even commence e paper, V wrote it...w/o consulting any o us...& she used my framework...i feel totally violated...

she wrote e paper & sent it 2 boss wif LS as e 2nd author...when i learnt abt tis joint paper fr another colic, i was damned pissed loh..& V had e cheek 2 say tt she discussed wif me...she did not...neither did she discuss wif LS...

damned it loh...anyway, i'm gg 2 talk 2 LS...b4 i bring tis issue up 2 my boss...

harlequin shrimp...pygmy...wat else...ahha...but so early in e morn...620am...btw where r we boarding? budget terminal?? beta chk it out now..

tis is funny & clever...using pop up book..

WAT...................

i really cannot believe our luck....=)

b4 we set off 2 KL, last min, HN's dad dun 1 2 go up malacca,den his mom had 2nd tots also..so dilly dally here there...den when we were on e roads, 4got 2 take a letter tt HN's dad 1ed HN 2 help get sme uncle in Kl 2 sign (which in e end also never got signed)..

so by e time we were really really on e roads, it was oredi 11+am...so our plan o getting there 4 e lucky draw cldnt b met...

after we dropped off HN's mom & sis at malacca, we proceed on 2 KL, by den it was oredi 3pm...den we got lost in KL central, trying 2 find e hotel...so by e time we rc e dive expo, it was oredi 5pm...so our sat was spent travelling...

den we went 4 e PADI party...nth much, tot there wld b lucky draw like e spore 1...but no...so we had a few drinks, snacks, den we went off 2 "chi chong kai"...

didnt shop much..got new sunglasses (RM15 each)....not bad..;)

by e time we got bk 2 e hotel oredi 12+...shower, watch tv, almost 2am den we slpt..initially we were tinkin o gg 2 e KLCC, cos in e morn can get free tix den go all e way up..

BUT, we overslpt..haha..by e time we got up was oredi 1015am...& bfast stops at 1030!!! so we rush rush go down eat, heng it closed at 11am... w

we asked 4 a late chk-out, so we went 2 e dive expo (1230 lucky draw)...

we missed e 1st part o e luck draw where u juz nd 2 ans simple qns 2 get coffee table books etc..

anyway, i got a free wetsuit fr Pinnacle worth Rm560!!! but since i've juz bot a new 1 at adex, & HN's wetsuit got hole, so i gave him e prize instead...

after e 1230 lucky draw, it was close 2 115pm,& i nded a shower & we nd 2 chk-out our rm...so we went bk 2 e hotel (heng it was juz opp e dive expo)...

HN initially contemplated tt we shld give e grand lucky draw a miss, cos otherwise we wld b quite late by e time we go malacca 2 pick up his family, den drive bk JB... but since we still haven got e wetsuit, plus HN 1ed 2 buy e super cheap regulator, we decided tt we shld juz stay 4 e lucky draw...

e lucky draw took quite a while, but no luck...den in e middle, they gave aways prizes 4 e kids drawing competition..so long tt we went 2 get e regulators...while HN was busy chking his reg, e lucky draw started again..so i went 2 e seats 2 listen 2 e names picked & also 2 rest....

juz as HN came bk wif his reg, he had barely warmed his seat, his name was called out!!!

2nd prize 4 e grand draw!!!! 7D6N at cocotinos resort!!! wif diving included 4 2 pax!!!

but e most drama was tt after he collect his prize, sat down...den e lucky winner 4 e 1st prize: "ANNIE TAN".....

WAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was quite stunned...HN was even more stunned...he hasnt even got over his surprise at e 2nd prize...

1st prize was a full diving internship wif Air diving Academy (Bali) worth US$8000+...all e training until u bec an instructor!!!!

i had all e pics taken etc...den i nd 2 pass them my ic 2 cfm my details, e organizer told me tt there was another Annie Tan....

i wasnt v sad actually...i saw e lucky draw coupon tt they had picked, it wasnt mine...i honestly told e person, but she kp insisting tt i stay 1st, cos they nd 2 verify e other person...e other person's IC was in her dialect name...no Annie at all...& on e coupon, there was only e name, & 1 other word which was scribbled... e other annie produced her namecard wif "Annie Tan" & also "Ecolab" which was e word scribbled...

i congratulated e other annie...& was gg off, when e Boss o Air Diving Academy was there, & he said 2 give me a free 4D3N diving at Bali free!!!ahhaa....

i really cldnt believe our luck...thro'out e trip, i had been telling HN tt i 1ed 2 go Bali!!! & everytime tt e lucky draw prize was 2 Bali, i kp hoping tt they wld call my name...but no luck!!! den suddenly tis prize juz dropped into my lap!!!

ahaha...it was a truly dramatic & super luck trip!!!

now i'm wondering when we shld go 4 our trips!!! i'm looking out 4 e air-tix promo now...ahha...happily planning 4 my nx 2 diving trips 2 e 2 places tt i've been 1ing 2 go...=P

i'm super happy, cos i had a wonder seminar juz b4 i went on e KL trip....i'm so exhausted fr all e happiness...hahaa....

survivor - spore version

long long time no blog...lazy 2 blog...haha...

my office situation currently like a live survivor....Outwit, outplay, outlast....

actually it all boils down to 2 pple...or mayb 3...cos i shldnt discount her yet...

If u sian 2 read e whole story, e synopsis:
D & V super fake pple..wish i cld juz give them left rite center...XL remains untested on whether she is able 2 turn over a new leaf after major showdown..


For e more in depth story pls continue:
as last mentioned...

there are 6 pple including me in my side o e office...V, D, XL, LS, AL & me...

e other office, there r K, Jo, E, Je, CM & Dn...There used 2 b a Jn, but he left, was replaced by Dn...

E scene started as AL & V eating lunch..den V complained 2 Ap tt D free riding...Den K, Jo & me joined them...V talked until D really not doin anything other den on e phone..K started 2 add tt XL also same as D den...(tis was e starting o e big mistake...cos V is XL gd friend...but V say XL no longer gd friend; w i suspect is cos K & Jo dun like Xl, so 1ing 2 b in e gd bks o K & Jo, both o whom r boss' pets, o cos she also dun 1 2 associate wif XL la..)

Anyway, c-ing tt K mentioned Xl..AL decided tt it was ok 2 let V know how XL has been a free-rider...

Ltr on in e day, V fwd emails tt she had received fr D, 2 AL & me..

Email fr V 2 D:
I have oredi printed out e articles since u r not in yet, I tink i can finish it b4 gg 2 NTU 2 attend e talk. Can u try 2 cut out the rest o e newspaper articles?

Email fr D 2 V:
THANK YOU. I know wat to do. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME.

Email fr D 2 V:
Sorry abt e previous email, accidentally pressed e CAPS.

o cos being e innocent AL & me...we were quite shocked by D's emails... V was supposedly v upset abt e emails & went over nx door 2 look 4 K, Jo & E...V had similarly fwd e emails 2 e 3 o them. But, she had sent 2 me & AL in 1 email; K, Jo & E in another. (btw, K, Jo, AL, all my gd friends in off)

So i happily tot nth happen la..& went hm...

but who knows, actually V had shot D a nasty email...which V didnt fwd 2 us...apparently, she had decided 2 tell D tt every1 in e off was not happy wif her, cos she was always comin in late, on e phone, not helpin 2 open doors, blatantly printing tonnes o paper 4 her thesis, takin extra time-offs, not clockin time-offs tt she took etc etc..V basically implicated every1...

So D went 3 individuals (XL(gd friend wif D), LS, CM & Je) & asked wat they were not happy abt her.. den she went 2 confront V...& D shot bk at V tt actually pple were equally unhappy wif her...

V got angry & things supposedly turned ugly..V went 2 K, Jo & E, & started 2 cry & tell them how evry1 was so fake blar blar blar...

i dunno how they finally ended e day...but e nx day...V talked 2 LS, & got angry wif him..saying tt LS double-cross her...

in e mean time, D started 2 approach AL...asking her if there was any prob within my grp (AL,XL & me were 1 grp; LS,V & D is 1 grp)...seem like D was trying 2 get more info fr AL...following tt encounter, XL approached AL...asking AL if she had anything unhappy wif her....& AL basically juz gave it all e way la...

(btw, tis 2nd day event i was not ard, cos on MC, but i was updated by AL & K)

e v nx morn....i came into office...LS & D (surprisingly was in oredi, she usu rc like 930 or 10; & it was barely 9..) were in...V had apparently moved her things over 2 e other office... AL & XL were both on course....

b4 long, LS went down 4 bfast...so it was D & me alone...she finally approached me....Asking me abt whehther i had anything tt i was not happy wif her...i asked her y she asked...she told me V told her tt every1 was not happy wif D...so she 1ed 2 know wat happened...she immediately stated e door swinging issue (which i shall put in another blog entry)...& i told her v frankly i was not happy abt e door thing la..& D came up wif all kinds o excuses abt her behaviour, which were truly all excuses only la 2 cover up 4 her bad attitude...blar blar blar she went on abt how e sys here was not gd...& tt she was trying 2 improve..blar blar blar...she was never on such gd terms wif me 1 loh....b4 she cld finish, V came in... LS, D & V were supposed 2 've mtg....

D immediately retreated bk into her cubicle....& V conveniently came 2 my cubicle...& started 2 tell me tt she was sorry tt i was on MC & had 2 listen 2 all e happenings...den she started 2 say tt she had moved 2 nx door, so tt she wld not feel angry & upset cos nx door she wldnt b c-ing D....how upset she is tt D backstab her...blar blar blar...den she said she 1ed 2 tell me more during lunch, so tt my relationship wif her wld not b strained by tis episode o things (frankly i have absolutely no relationship wif V...i totally dislike her..& at tt brief moment when she was pouring her displeasure abt D, i even sympathize wif her...which i must say was a great error on my part...)...

& e nx thing i know, she stepped out o my cubicle & started 2 chat, rather happily, wif D.... _ _

& D popped in my cubicle & said tt she 1ed 2 follow up ltr on... _ _

btw, during e whole "alliance building" wif me...both V & D, had tears circling their eyes...& on occasions they even seem like words got choked, & tt they might cry any moment....tt is how fake these 2 persons can b.....

anyway, i didnt talk 2 them after tt...i was totally not in e mood 2 know abt their fighting....& totally not interested in building alliance wif either o them...

XL did come 2 me though...& i told her rather frankly tt she nds 2 buck up in her work cos there is no way tt AL or me is gg 2 let her free-ride....

& tis concludes wat happened in e last 3 days o work....& i'm wondering wat antics D & V will b up 2 again tmr....i juz watch show only...but if they 1 2 step on my toes...sorry, they'll have 2 bear e consequences.....


verdict: have i decided who i 1 2 form alliance wif???? stay tuned 4 e nx episode o Spore Survivor......

i m angry not bcos u tried 2 take ur life...

i m angry bcos u made use o all those who cared, juz so tt u can get ur way...2 get e attn o M...

i m angry bcos u messed up not only ur own life but those ard u...

i m angry bcos now i've 2 tink twice abt wat i write.. cos it "might" juz trigger ur suicide attempts again...

i dun tink i m tt free 2 've 2 tink 4 u all e time...

i have my own life 2..

on a wat look like very dead, v boring coral, we saw a great assortment of creatures: e clown frogfish (2nd frogfish pic above), 1 shrimp, 1 crab (mayb 2, cos e other 1 2 small dunno is it a crab or not), 1 mini weedy filefish (barely 5cm long), & 1 ultra mini lionfish (barely 2cm long)..but my shooting skills cannot make it la..all blur blur...
