Tuesday, September 01, 2009. Wet and cold today. In the subzero room, my fingers froze over the keyboard. A new place will tell new stories. My wet hair is wrapped in a bundle of towel that is sitting atop my head. The shower was lovely, thank you very much :) My feet is propped up on the glass table. The Starbucks paper cup, emptied just moments ago. It's moments like these that I indulge in during such hectic days. Posted by Doreen at. To laugh or cry?

Tuesday, August 04, 2009. During our recent trip, we dived at Si Amil and Denawan islands. Both these islands are nearby each other, but a 45 minutes boat ride from Mabul, where we were staying at. Like Sipadan, these islands have a "security post" at the jetty, where the Tentara Laut DiRaja Malaysia are based to protect us, and our waters from alien invasion. While doing our surface interval at Denawan, a military boat docked. We soon found ourselves on it! Alas, that wasn't allowed. Posted by Doreen at.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I live in Puchong. I left the house at 9am this morning, wanting to get to Damansara Utama by 10am. Not a big fan of the LDP because it's a 2-lane highway, I opted for the Jalan Kelang Lama route, which will eventually lead me to Federal Highway, and then onto the Kerinchi Link. Come 9:30, I was making no progress and would never get to DU by 10, made a U-turn and headed for the LDP. I wasted an hour of my life going nowhere. They all tell me. Posted by Doreen at.

Friday, April 30, 2004. You know those questions that ask you to describe yourself in 5 words? How exactly is one supposed to do that? I love black. It brings out my curves. I have a fetish for prominent hip bones and sexy decolletages. Laughter lines are NOT wrinkles, and contrary to popular belief, some drugs are actually therapeutic - especially in this rat race we call "life". I've realized that I don't like wearing cotton G-strings and prefer satin or silky ones. The former hurts my butt crack&#...

Thursday, December 30, 2004. MK and me at Attica in Singapore. Ah 2 years, 3 months and 18 days! It IS 838 days afterall! I mean, come on, you really think all I do is sit in the office and blog? OK, maybe sometimes. But you'd think that after 838 days, I would have been found out or something eh? Either that, or I'm just a really good. Your pick. Heh. So since it's my last day at the office before the year ends, I shan't be ashamed of proclaiming that "I'M AN OFFICE BLOGGER! Marina Mahathir wrote about ...

Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Best news this week! Are you free tonight? Asked my Course Director when he called. Tonight cannot lah. Tomorrow also cannot. But we're OK for Thursday and Friday," I said to him. Cannot, Thursday to the weekend I'm not free, then I leave to Tioman on Sunday," he said. My heart suddenly felt so light, and I smiled to myself. Oh lucky you, get to go to Tioman! He mumbled something about nobody wanting to go; therefore he has to do it. Then I'll see you all next week lah!

Thursday, November 18, 2004. 1 I need to get slapped a couple of times - real hard ones - before I eventually will get some senses knocked into me. Because no one has ever attempted that before - or maybe I haven't attempted to let them attempt, hence I think I really need some good hard slapping now and then to get some senses into me. 2 That our life is like a tree. 4 I get scared by new things, and fear holds me back. Exist You can be totally comfortable with someone new even though you've barely know...

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. While in Phuket the other day, a receipt fell out of the Open Water Diver Course manual which we had brought along. It was a receipt for the registration fees which we paid to enrol for the OWDC with Lynette. And two years later. We completed our Instructor Examination on 13 December 2009. In the weeks leading up to the IE, I have tossed in bed at night asking myself, "What have you gotten yourself into? I knew I wasn't alone. Who knows what the days ahead will be like?

Thursday, July 30, 2009. To laugh or cry? I thought about it long and hard - should I post an entry about what happened? And have such a traumatic experience etched in my mind (and this space! For a looooong, looooong time? Well, I guess I'm here now. After I finished my business, I slid the bathroom door open and SCREAMED so loud the neighbours probably thought I was being murdered. Standing in front of me, was the man's brother. Remember how I had my pants and undies on the bedroom floor? I told the man.
