Before I begin writing this entry, I went through all my blog entries written this year. I can't believe it. So many thing has actually happened. Some good, some I could do without, but all in all, they have make the year interesting and enriching. I begin the year with some wishes. The biggest thing that has happened this year, I got a new job! Yeay! And the icing on the cake, I got a bonus before I leave my previous company :) I just received my confirmation letter today. That's a good way to end the year isn't it?
I still do not have an aquarium. I could easily get one but the thought that I might not take care of the fishes properly makes me think twice, thrice, and many more times. It would be nice to have one, but I can live without it. I managed to go on several short holiday over the weekend. I shouldn't complaint though. That is better than nothing. What with not being able to take any leave during my probation period and the many projects in my previous company, I'm content with any short holiday I can get. I did not get any vouchers from optical shops but I finally ordered my new specs today. Finally, I'm going to replace my about-6-years-old specs. I think that's a good way to end the year by fulfilling all my wishes and celebrating my confirmation at work :)
Hmmm... what are other things I want to highlight before the year ends? Let's see....
- I have my first blogger meet. I'm glad I went.
- I changed my IC long before the mad rush.
- A close friend got married. She has moved to another state so I have one less friend to hang out with. Sigh!
- I'm still unlucky in the matters of the heart. This is one example.
- I got a phone line and has finally gotten streamyx too.
- I met with an accident. Luckily I was fine.
Fortunately I have a blog. Otherwise, I wouldn't remember all the things I've gone through the whole year. I don't keep diaries. I don't know how to write diaries. It's a good thing blog exist.
Finally, 'HAPPY NEW YEAR' everyone.
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.

I Got My Wheels Back
I got my wheels back. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! That was last Saturday after work actually. I had no time to blog about it earlier. I went for a massage session that Saturday evening and whole day shopping on Sunday. That's from 11 a.m. and I reached home at almost 9. Really lepas gian after 2 weeks without wheels. My feet were so tortured that the massage session the day before was like nothing at all. Monday after work I went window-shopping again. It rained cats and dogs that I decided to stop at a shopping complex, have dinner and jalan-jalan. I also don't want to go back through Jalan Sg. Buloh and risk getting caught in a flash flood. I just got my car from the workshop. I don't want to send it to the workshop again.
I was praying, thanking God I got my car back and is able to drive it from the moment I got my car back until now. No more commuter, LRT, bus and relying on my brother and colleague for transportation.
The worst part of the whole deal was the bus I took on Friday. I got a seat after standing for a few minutes. I thought that was better than the day before. I had to stand from the moment I got on the bus until I reached my place. That was more than 1-hour trip. I was wrong. After some time, I realized there's an odd shape leaning at my left shoulder. I was looking outside the window the whole time. When I turned my face to see what was it that was leaning against my shoulder, I instantly reacted by moving away from it and almost squashed the big Malay guy sitting beside me against the window.
An old, skinny Chinese man leans his crotch on my shoulder. Yikes! A crotch near my face. He didn't look apologetic at all. When I look up, he turned his face away. As if by turning away, he disassociates his crotch with him. He moved away a little bit for a while. I tried to squeeze myself as little as I can (if that is possible). My whole muscle was tensed. I almost forgot to breath. Then he leaned at me again. I almost elbowed him. "Iiieee.... bagi karang" and I make an elbowing action. The Malay lady standing beside him gives me the encouragement. "Bagi jer. Biar dia rasa. Kurang ajar betul!" The image of him doubling up from pain flashes through my mind. Do I want to do that? Iiieee... my poor elbow. He moved away a little bit again. I hold one big bag on my left side so he won't be able to lean so near to me.
The Malay guy sits quietly beside me. He didn't budge one little bit. Didn't say a word. Then the old man did it again. When I looked up, he looked away. Hello! Hello! I called to him but he kept looking away. It's not as if he can't stand somewhere else. It's a bit cramped but if he is decent enough, he would change his position. I'm contemplating of standing up and ask him to move and stand away from my seat. I don't care what everyone else would think. But as I was contemplating, the bus stopped and many people got down. So it will look very obvious if he didn't move away. He did and I breathe a sigh of relief. God! I want my car back.
Did you all blame me? Should I give my seat to the old man? I've made a vow, 'Old men can stand'. If old men can take viagra, if a grandfather can rape their grandchildren, if old man can do unthinkable things that you don't think an old man can do, they can stand. No doubt about that! Iiieeee.... the shape... the shape... I still remember the feel of that odd shape on my left shoulder. Old men can stand kan. So, stand lah!

Beautiful Windy Sunday Morning with Bright Blue Sky
It's a beaoooooootiful windy Sunday morning with bright blue sky and I'm stuck at home without wheels. Huwaarrgghhhh.... I want my car back. If only I can go on a day-trip to anywhere. I went to an outdoor training about 2-weeks ago and I felt so refreshed. It has been so long since I do any jungle trekking. Sigh!
We had to go down on a very steep slippery slope and one of the guy said loudly that the guys should sort of line up down the slope to help the ladies down. To which I loudly retorted that we ladies CAN go down on our own. Heh! Big mistake! Not long after that, I almost slipped. Luckily, I managed to grab hold of something. One of the guy offered help and I took it graciously. They're nice enough not to mention my remarks :)
The slope was really slippery. Even one of the guys almost slipped. The short jungle-trekking trip was really fun and it has made me look forward for another one.
