The Malayneum Chronicle

It's been a while...

Since then, I constantly complaining about how my International passport is expired this December and only two pages filled and just two out of four stamps are foreign, yet, no holiday plan overseas got realized again.

Since then, I still am evaluating my purpose in the workplace with less and less enthusiasm to follow through the system, the bureaucracy and the stubbornness of my mind to be driven to labor fulfillment. Yet, no action done to change course of my corporate ladder climbing to success.

Since then, more and more fairytales got the best of me and when one of those dream of others came true, it only kept me wallowing on my fate and caused me verging on desperation, totally humiliating!

Nevertheless, these past months had seen me appreciating Malaysia as a whole, well maybe not the whole lempeng, but I tasted the good portion with a dip into a very delicious curry. Glad I am able to appreciate the country and all in it despite the hatreds and chaos being provoked, life should be endured, seriously, with a slight taste of humor along the way, in line with fuel and other’s price hike that is…

And so here it went

* The trippin’ vacation….

Be it a planned one or a business with pleasure opportunity, me, ma, sis and gangs manage to explore places and food for joyfulness. Johor brought back memories with a food feast moment as a good reminiscence, Malacca was a historical exploration with me appreciating history, Tuah, Melayu etc, I guess Port Dickson never boring, when one took their mommy hiking in the recreational forest hill this time and Penang with it’s very confusing road, an amazing road trip and a definite food haven for all penangites to be proud of. It was all now very close to my heart. Now, I can’t wait for my next adventure in Perhentian Island, well, more like relaxing by the sea reading books since I am terrified of water. Minus the adventure my friends will be experiencing (scuba diving and snorkeling) hope I’ll get the rest much needed for.

* The entertaining Malaysian…

With the ever irreplaceable legendary P Ramlee (who always remind me of my father), a Musical number brought us all back down memory lane definitely worth the time spent. P Ramlee The Musical managed to give me goose bumps and unending smile. Another movie by khabir Bhatia managed to get me to the cinema and watch another Malay movie, SEPI. Despite friend’s warning of a teary affair, not one drop of water coming down from my eyes. It was entertaining though… really.

So, despite me wanted to be American or Australian or whatever-ian, I am glad I am here, as a Malaysian in the homeland of Malaysia, But, if one foreign opportunity knocks, I am out of here… in a split! Traitor! Hehehe…

What else? With the recent office gossip about me among others? I guess I am contented for now.
