Merry Christmas

May this day be filled with joy(!), laughter, happiness, togetherness and food for all of you.

Ten ten ten

Because I'm not interesting.

One more day to Saigon!

Yes!

Another ASEAN country to check off my list!

Good food, here I come!

Status: In Royal Belum

But heading back to Taman Negara in a bit.

If only the crazy storm outside would stop.

Royal Belum scares me.

The heat, the extreme dryness, the number of dogs in the village that run loose, the awful, awful mosquitoes.

Oh, I'm not sure at all if I like this place.

On one hand, food here is pretty awesome and going out to town takes only about 30 minutes. Pork is pretty accessible and the rooms are a lot nicer than in Taman Negara.

On the other hand, there's the problem with my sun allergy and irrational hatred for mosquitoes.

Oh, the things I endure for the sake of my job.

On to Royal Belum

Next week, that is.

I'm actually a little scared, of being the first to be there to take care of stuff.

What if I completely screw things up?

What if the mosquitoes eat me alive?

What if I die from the scorching heat?

Nonetheless, I'm actually really excited!

Status: 1 month to go

Oh no!

The horrors!

Only one month left of Jungle Child!

What happens to life after the jungle?

Week 1 of shoot is almost over

Only 9 more weeks to go.

Strange that it sounds like it's such a long way to go.

I've been here for only 3 weeks but it feels a lot longer than that. Feels like I've been here forever.

So much has happened and is still happening that I don't even know where to start.

Only week 1 and I'm exhausted already.

At least I'm going home for the weekend.

Yay.

I miss you long time, too!

Hurry up and get your cute ass back in KL!

9 phrases women use

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ . That will bring on a ‘whatever’).
8. Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying F— YOU!
9. Don’t worry about it, I’ll do it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.

A Public Appeal

Dear Mr. Moolah,

It appears to me that you have been elusive of late.

I would like to remind you that you are highly sought after. I have attempted to establish contact with you through various methods but none have proven effective.

As the new fiscal year is approaching, I would like to take this opportunity to make a very public appeal to you to return to yours truly.

Sincerely,
Me

Random thought #1

Ah, almost the end of yet another year already.

And just the other day as I was taking a drink of water, it hit me that in less than 4 months, I'll officially no longer be in my mid 20s.

That could just mean one thing.

I'm so getting old.

Hello, Reality

It'd be wrong of me to say that life hops back onto the reality track once summer is over.

Truth is, it's eternally summer here in KL, whether we like it or not.

Perhaps "holiday season" would be a better name for my summer.

And now that my "summer" is over, reality comes crashing down on me and it doesn't stop.

• Job - negative
• Car - acting up
• Bank account - depleting
• Fun - over
• Bills - not paid
  

Yep, summer is definitely over.
