Momentary Bliss

i'm at Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort right now. since jnr is on leave for the next 10 days or so, i thought, why dont we go for a little get away... heheh... and i know tuaran is only about an hour drive from penampang but at least, we are... emm... away

it's our first time here. a bit expensive compared to Nexus and we were wondering why. i thought, well, maybe they provide better services... and going to a 5-star hotel is a once-in-a-blue moon event for me.

when we get here, i wasnt expecting the kind of reception we will get. as soon as we get here, a guy in a bajau costume and a lady in a kadazan tuaran costume greeted us, opened the door for us and then get all the bags down. ok, itu biasa lah kan... then, jnr proceed to go and park the car, while the lady escorted us to the lobby. before we get there, the lady said, "this is how we welcome our guest" and then went to hit the gong once. and then, the ppl at the kulintangan area started to play a very nice but short piece... i was like, "oo... ok, thank you..." she showed us to sofa and after we were seated, she kneeled down and asked for my ic and told me that they would need me to write down the details of our children (cherry came with us) later.

then, jnr came and went to the reception area for our reservation. the lady there ask for his ic and credit card and then said that he can wait at the sofa, while they prepare the keys and all lah. while we waited there, a guy came and gave each one of us a wet towel. i felt silly coz i dont even know what are the wet towels for then, the lady at the reception came and ask us to sign some paper and then write the kids name & date of birth at the back of that same paper. and then, the guy who brought us towel came again with 4 glasses of peach tea... wah... so nice... even the kids love the drinks. after we finished the drinks, the reception lady then escorted us to our room.

the room i tell you.... i think it's quite big for a deluxe room. the bed can easily accomodate like 5 medium size adults ooo... there's no need for ellone to sleep in the cot, though we did asked for one. and the baby cot also, bukan yg murah2 punya ooo... there's even a very comfortable sofa you can sleep on it.. and no, it's not even a sofa bed. and there's also a BIG (5' x 7') mirror on the wall, beside the bed... oh, and highspeed internet access is also available

so kebaruan oo me... but i never went to a place such as this bah... so, forgive the ignorance...

we'll be here until wednesday so in the meantime, let me enjoy my momentary bliss...

Proton Saga Kelabu

ppl, meet our ever faithful car, a dark-grey proton saga iswara.

and why am i so frustrated? ok, we had this car since Dec 2001. and just look at the statistic...



and luck was never on our side! not even once! bila beli, tidak pula kena...

dang!

Rest In Peace, Crocodile Hunter!

so unbelievable... the big man behind crocodile hunter finally died - stung by a stingray. i personally think that Steve Irwin was the best documentary show host i've ever seen. he was so lively - so brave. he was so invincible... it's a great loss... i always thought he would die, killed by a crocodile or snake, but no! he was killed in the ocean... by a stingray... ikan pari... and to tell you the truth, i never knew stingrays kill people. now i know la...

pity... like my friend said "tempat dia bukan di laut"

hmm... may his soul rest in peace...

A proper entry

yesterday marked the end of my hectic life! from today onwards, *hopefully* i'll get to relax a bit. still hv to register students for the e-learning system, but at least i can do that slowly, perhaps a school per day... about 7 more schools to go and i'm done. so... that means... by tuesday next week, i should hv already registered all students, a job that shd be done by a data entry clerk but since we dun hv one, hv to be done by me.

hmm... what else is new... emm... oklah... i think it's time for me to tell you guys that i'm now expecting my second baby. no... dont congratulate me just yet... i'm not ready to be congratulated. to tell the truth, i was far from ready to add another member to the family. sorry u mommies out there but if u were in my shoes, u'd feel the same too. i had actually planned to finish my studies first but i know... that's a very selfish thought. now, i hv to defer again... i dont know... this whole thing made me feel like quitting (my studies). but ppl, i'm doing very well (very very very well), so sayang to quit. and so kesian si ellone, still so small and yet, hv to be a big sister already... anyhow... guess i'll just hv to emm... go on with my life and see what the future has in store for me lah... right now, i'll try to be as happy as i can. havent told my in-laws yet, biar diorg tau sendiri la... but told my mom already... my mom, she just laughed it off... i was crying when i called her last week and being a very supportive and caring mom that she is, told me not to cry, dont be sad, nanti the baby mengaus she also said "nokuro to mihad? hishh... okon ko aharo sawo" (what are you crying for? it's not like you dont have a husband) my mom dis... and to think that 10 yrs ago, cant even see eye to eye with my mom, always get on each others nerves... now, like kawan2 pula i also planned to hv my confinement in tambunan dis time. want my mama to pamper me

oklah... enough about me.

just found out yesterday that some UMS officers are actually reading my blog! guess i have to put the disclaimer back, in case ada org tekena batang hidung... but so malas to write my own disclaimer. can somebody write one for me please
