same difference / different sameness

::Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.::

it just occurred to me, that subconsciously i thought of the bmw logo whenever i saw the wordpress logo. and i have no idea how did that happen.

erk okay, not bmw, but vw. how did i get confused by the two is beyond me.



thinking of putting wordpress links here, but they might be short-lived, since this 'privilege' might be lifted off anytime (so wordpress / fotopages users, sorry... hehe). ni pun dah cukup byk dah ni, x tertgk aku.

learned a new thing among many. if you travel with a doctor, be prepared to lend a hand whenever you passed by an accident. by that, i mean to stop by the roadside to give way for your doctor friend to help the needy.

and by that, i mean it's better to always drive on the middle lane (or left lane even), in case you want to pull the car over to the emergency lane, since of course you want your car to be as close to the accident site as possible.

also, if you are driving on the right lane, be mentally prepared to hear shoutings and honkings (?) from others when you adamantly try to squeeze your car to the leftmost lane. imagine doing that on a peak-hr busy road.

who knows, you might save a life.

and that was exactly what i DID NOT do when it happened.

and up until today i'm still wondering whether the guy came through or not.

imagine what my doctor friend felt that time, when i refused to stop, just because i didn't want to disrupt the good flow of traffic that day. just because i was overwhelmed by the panic i felt, of seeing the dented car and the group of ppl trying to lift a guy from the small ditch near the divider. of the motorcycle we didn't see. of the rows and rows of cars passing by the site.

and even when my friend answered, "ethically, i should."

penang getaway

gambar2 masa gi brainstorming kat holiday inn penang. hehe x byk pun, sbb x reti la nak posing2 amik gambar ni. tapi syok aa, got a clearer picture on where we're heading to. semangat la nak buat kerja... hopefully 2009 brings more prosperity and joy, work-wise. disbbkan bilik free, bawak la jugak adik2 aku.

for the 2nd time, dpt naik banana boat. tapi kali ni seriously lagi mengancam (as in meng-ancam), sbb xde pun briefing nak pegang mana, kaki letak kat mana, apa nak buat bila tergolek nanti, etc... kalau kat pangkor dulu, mmg complete. nak naik pun rasa secure. yg ni, boat driver pun duk sengih2 mcm kerang busuk. hampehh.

haha yg lain tu mcm adik aku cite laa, golekkan kitorg kat tgh2 laut... scary ok. pulak tu susah pulak nak naik. malu je.. haha tapi kan nak kira logik, kalau dua2 pegang tangan aku, mcm mana aku nak naik, nak kena lawan daya tarikan laut lagi... nasib baik gak terfikir nak letak tangan kat tepi banana boat tu (to brace myself, to push myself up), kalau x sampai ke maghrib xleh naik lagi.

tu belum time naik kuda lagi. apa punya bongok la org yg in charge kuda tu (horseman? horse instructor?), seboleh2 nak suruh aku dgn k syud pegang tangan dia la, pijak peha dia la. org lain boleh je naik guna tunggul kayu yg disediakan kat situ. nak pegang tangan k syud la tuuu (tapi mungkin disbbkan aku naik sekali, terpaksa buat utk dua2). mintak2 peha ko yg aku pijak tu sengal.

ada gak parasailing kat tepi pantai tu, mmg ingat nak buat la dgn adik aku. siap dia nak bg diskaun lagi, tapi kebetulan pulak, angin kuat yg amat. so x dibagi naik... agak frust la jugak, sbb aku iye2 suh adik aku rafiq dtg pun sbb nak naik parasail (? mcm salah je) tu la. nak mandi pun (rasanya hari sabtu, 3rd day) mmg ombak kuat. nak mandi pun payah, sbb nnti mandi pasir je (pasir yg dibawa ombak).

last day, supposedly ada coaster bawak kitorg sume jln2 tour penang. since aku dgn adik2 aku, mmg ingat nak checkout terus, so mmg keluar lambat (coaster gerak 8-sth). tapi sudahnya satu tpt pun kitorg x pergi. pening aa jln kat penang tu. signboard sgt la x membantu. ada sekali tu nampak signboard to fort conwallis, tapi sampai satu split junction, dah xde sign. how are we to know which one is the right way? bila dah sampai satu tpt tu pulak, jalan tutup la. tambah lagi dgn drivers yg x peduli org lain... 3-4 kali gak aa kitorg jerit2 bila nampak motor out of nowhere nak masuk jln kitorg. hangin satu badan adik aku (since she's the driver, hehe). last2 balik gurney plaza for lunch, n headed back to bangi. balik ofis, tgk gambar2 org lain sume dpt gi masjid terapung la, tpt lukis batik la. jelesnyaa...

all in all, quite an experience. and not quite the getaway i was hoping for, tapi ok la. dpt gak jln2 tgk tempat org. aa dah balik bangi baru perasan, satu penang delicacy pun aku dgn adik aku x dpt rasa. oh, except for a rm8 mee udang. tapi mmg sedap aa, adik aku beli kat mana tah. hehe kena la sedap kan, rm8 tuu. yg lain? ingge porengge. kena gi dgn mak bapak kot baru leh rasa sume2 nih hehe.

ok chiow.
