Not in the office as well?!!!~#@

I am tired of bumping into rude, obnoxious and pig headed individuals whenever I am in lifts, LRTs, shopping malls or in any other corner of the world. We don’t need this bunch of morons around! There are more important things to life, right?. Darn, having one in the office can be so damn annoying.

There is this officemate of mine who is known among her friends or ex colleagues to be just plain “weird”. What I know is whenever I see her, she can never stop complaining about work. I have always felt like telling her, Hello! You are not the only person in this whole wide world who is so darn busy. Get a grip woman! All she does is complain, compain and complain…ooucch all those negative vibes from her is tooo overwhelming, I often hear people telling me how weird she is, as a result they would run as fast as they can whenever they see her.

Well, being me, told myself over and over again never to judge a person who I hardly know. So, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and just befriended her as per normal. Treated her as one of those nice species in this organization I work with.

I am sure I treated her fairly. However, the day came where I had to ask her for some reviews and feedback on an important work issue. There I was, standing infront of her desk, waiting for an answer, she just looked straight at me with her fierce and angry look and said “I have NO time to give you any opinions…I have other things to look into no, no, no, no.....!” and she just brush me off just like that, as though my work doesn’t mean a thing to her ….Well I was very pissed with her! I don’t think the word “weird” actually describes her…it is an understatement. Hmmm, the word moron suits her perfectly! The best part after all those harsh words from her, she pretends nothing had happened, continue being herself and whenever she sees me, she will start smiling and without any conscience, will continue talking about how much work she has bla bla..Hello!!! Obviously, I would just walk off and pretend I didn't know her.

If I ever hear people telling me how weird she is, I would probably just flip and say the word ‘weird’ is too nice for her! Someone who you definitely wanna avoid when you detect within the vicinity. Alert! Alert! Stay Away!…

Left my heart in Kyoto....

Me in Gion

Travelling has always been my passion. Started travelling when I was little, about 7years of age, and the first country I visited was Australia. I can still remember all the memories I had as a child. Well, I guess it helps having a dad who was working with an airline company. Hmmn, to think of it, me and my siblings grew with the airline. So, I can safely say that the airline company has actually influenced us through out our growing years. Travelling is a MUST for my whole family!

Ever since I read the book “Memoirs Of a Geisha”, I have always wanted to explore Kyoto, Japan’s famous historical city. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to make that dream a reality when my sis and husband decided to spend a weekend in Kyoto when I was visiting them in Nagoya, last year. Kyoto is known for its many majestic palaces, shrines, buddhist temples, gorgeous landscapes, gardens, theaters , art galleries, refine cuisines and geishas/maikos. Kyoto is very ancient, the culture and tradition is very refined. In fact, they are more than 1600 Buddhist temples, hundreds of Shinto shrines, two hundred classified gardens, a clutch of imperial villas and several first-rate museums. We had to prioritise the list of places to visit as we had little time.

The hotel we stayed in Kyoto was within the Kyoto tower station vicinity, it was very near to the bus station. Early in the morning, we hopped onto the sightseeing bus which cost us 500 yen for a daily pass. The shuttle brings you back and forth to all the tourist destinations. The first stop was the Kiyomizu-dera temple, Kiyomizu-dera, also known as the "pure white temple” has been there standing strong in the wooden hills of eastern Kyoto since 780. I saw many people from all over the world taking sips from the natural spring water found in a man made fountain or wooden tubs. It is believed that the water has a "healing" power. For me, the view was breath taking, it was a beautiful sight. The temple has a wooden structure and I am just amazed with the fine architecture. Just a beautiful scene that makes it kinda difficult for me to express it in words.

Kyomizu Temple, just look at the architecture, awesome!

Gion was our next stop. Gion is Kyoto’s most famous Geisha district. I like the narrow back alley with wooden walking planks. As you walk along the alley , you would see cute sized shops with sliding wooden doors. The doors are closed most of the time, which explains why Kyoto is known for its secrets and mysteries. You will find it difficult to identify what is going on in those little shops or restaurants until you make the effort to go nearer and take a peek or knock on the doors. As for Geishas, you might be able to spot a Geisha or apprentice Geishas called Maikos. I saw a beautiful Maiko passing by and was wondering how lovely she looked. Her kimono was made from beautiful silk material.

While we were in the bus heading back to the hotel, saw many tourists hopping in and out of the buses. They even have tourist police to ensure safety is implemented at every crowded tourist spots. If you read the travel guide, they will say that the best time to visit Kyoto is in spring, where you can enjoy the scenic views with different shades of colour and also the “cherry blossoms”. Ahhh, so lovely, unfortunately I was there in winter.

Hot Baths, the Japanese Way

I just love the experience I had while in Japan during my vacation sometime in summer and winter, 2005. As you might already know, the weather in Japan lately has always been on the extreme side. I remembered those moments when I was packing for my trip during summer. I told myself, Naaa, don’t worry, just pack my normal jeans and t-shirts. I was very sure those clothings would be suitable for the summer weather. It should be, since I wore t-shirts and jeans when I was studying in UK many years ago. Damn, was I wrong, the summer weather in Nagoya was extremely hot and humid. Believe me, it was worse than what you normally experience in Kuala Lumpur or any other cities in Malaysia. The heat was unbearable, wearing jeans for Nagoya’s summer was definitely a total NO-NO. What was I thinking back then eh? The harsh heat and sun ray makes your skin go dark and dry. I was really tanned when I got back from the holidays. I am sure, I didn’t look like myself..HAHA! My friends would agree on this ;-P

My second trip was in winter, I knew that my predictions would be better so I brought along with me, all thick woolen sweaters, cardigans and winter jackets . Boy, I was right the cold weather was too extreme. The heaters they use at home, were very much different from the ones you see in Europe. Most of the homes in Nagoya, uses the kerosene heaters, which I found was not useful enough. It surely warms up the place, but as soon as you switch it off, the warmness will die very fast. Back to square one again.

Due to the extreme weather, I now understand, why the Japanese can never get enough of their “Ofuro”. Ofuro in Japanese means BATH. According to one survey done, 88% of the Japanese, just loves to take baths. In Japan, these tubs are filled up with VERY hot water and one sits in the tub submerged up to the neck level. They do this for summer, as a way to get rid of all those excess sweat. They also soak themselves in tubs during winter to warm themselves up.

Apart from hot tub baths, you can also enjoy the natural hot springs. Those hotsprings can also be located in beautiful resorts. Public baths is a way of living in Japan. Just to share with you a few “bath etiquette”. Check this out:-

Rinse your body off outside the tub. Use a washbowl to scoop hot water out of the tub to rinse yourself with or take a shower.

Get in the bath. The water temperature should be between 38°C and 42°C, and the water should be deep enough that an adult can sit submerged up to the neck. Fifty years ago, tubs were made of wood, but nowadays they are made of tile, plastic, or stainless steel.

Once you leave the bath, sit down ( on the low stool provided or on your knee(s) -- not, in other words, with your bottom directly on the floor ), and wash yourself thoroughly. You can wash your hair now, too. Use the shower or water from the bath to clean any remaining soap or shampoo from the floor; the floor, which is usually made of tile or plastic, is fitted with a drain, so you may use as much water as you like.

I did get to try this public bath when I was in Kyoto for some sightseeing. It was an experience that I will never forget, I tell you……Haha! My sis told me about the rules of soaking, which is- one has to be ‘butt naked” once in the hot tub. Yup, you heard that correctly. I made sure the tub I was eyeing was an all female TUB. I was rather worried, I told my sis, NO way, this is like going through the fear factor programme in Kyoto without the cute host that is…..Haha! But after a few moments of thinking, told myself, this is a once in a lifetime stunt. I am not gonna miss it but I did hope that no one will be hanging around the public tub when I get there… Haha, tough luck huh, there were a few ladies there and the hot water in the tub was as clear as ever…it had a nice aroma….the water was added with some sweet smelling herbs. Hmmn, till now I still wonder how did I manage to gather myself to just join in with the ladies. I had a swell time. The bath was just awesome and definitely rejuvenating. After that bath, I just felt so light headed and decided to sleep on the futon. The "slumberland” I was in, was just excellent. Those of you who haven’t had the chance to try the ‘ofuro”, you wouldn’t want to miss it for the world!

A Weird Morning.....

Nowadays, taking the LRT to work is the most convenient way. Don't need to go through all the traffic congestions and massive traffic jams.

So as usual, I got on the 7.30am train. To good to be true, I spotted an empty seat and decided to have a relaxing session of reading while getting to my work destination.

However at the second stop, a pregnant lady got on. I could sense that the people sitting next to me were waiting for each other to give up his/her seat. Sigh! So typical eh. So, I didn’t give it much thought and just stood up to give her my seat, her face was so“masam, macam cuka” and she just sat down. NO smile, NO thank you's, NOTHING but a pathetic and obnoxious face!

Well, honestly, I did not expect a thank you from her but a smile would be nice, especially on a Monday morning. Hmmmn, Darn, I guess this is what you get for being civilized. Pretty annoying.

You Are a Prophet Soul

You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run. No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Family Ties

As I was busy registering myself in the bloggers spot, my cousin who is currently residing in UK buzzed me via the YM. We seldom have the chance to chat for a good whole 10 mins or more due to the time zone difference and also hectic schedule. It is normally either I am at home and he is at the office or he is at home and I am in deep sleep. Well, today we chatted away for half and hour or so and didn’t realise the time that went by. My cousin, moved to UK to settle down to a British woman when I was little and now he’s blessed with two pretty daughters. Both of them are in their teens. Looks like, they will be heading for KL for the easter holidays.

I am sure, he does not mind staying far away as long as he is with his family. Somehow, today I discovered that he is so glad that he did stay far away as he was not on good terms with his siblings and mother due to some misunderstanding many years back. A miscommunication problem which arises due to some in-law squabbles and differences in opinions. Well, for me, one is missing out in many many things in life when one is not close to his brothers. I am sure this is one of the many stories you hear out there. I bet, he is not the only one going through this sort of a family problem. It happens all the time but in different circumstances.

Imagine all those years, one has wasted, life is too short to be missing out on family reunions, raya gatherings, birthday parties and so forth. Why can’t people just forgive and forget. Why should we continue with all the bitterness and hatred in our heart? Really, this is not good for the SOUL. I wish life would be easy for all of us, people make mistakes, no one is perfect, it doesn’t matter who seeks for forgiveness first. It is the effort that counts, right? Thrash away all those egos and break all those walls. It’s time for some love and respect for each other.

All this hatred and bitterness will be passed down to the next generation, which in fact could be a very contagious disease, The younger generation would be the victims of this family squabbles. What do they gain out of this, seriously? The satisfaction of withholding the family pride and ego?….sigh!

Gosh..I am definitely in a WRONG profession!

What's" Your Ideal Career?

Life is like a box of chocolates

I guess, I do agree with the above statement, you would never know what life has in store for you until you give it a go. All through my life, I have always been the ‘worrying pot”…always been critical in life, every decision I have made, in my entire life was based on worrying that the world would fall flat on me. Nowadays, I keep telling myself, life is too short to be worrying, take whatever comes and live life to the fullest. So that is my main mission in life, thus so far. I ain’t gonna sweat the small stuff anymore.

A close friend of mine, was at Kinokuniya buying a book for her mom when she called me one day to say “ Hey you, I am currently checking out this book and I think you would enjoy it too”. I did not hesitate to then grab the book by Richard Carlson, titled “ Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff……and it’s all Small Stuff”. I learned a lot from this book which made loads of sense. Sometimes being human, we tend not to realise, these small stuff are the things overtaking our lives. Small things, for example, getting upset with our imperfections, those mistakes we often make unintentionally. Listening too much to our negative thoughts and always lacking in patience. There are many choices we have to face in life which contributes to all these worries and critical behaviour.

Well, now I have learned to take a deep breath whenever I need to decide on anything. I will ask myself, is it worth saying all those harsh things when I am in a foul mood? Hmnn well, it helps because most of the time, I will end up smiling to myself..Hehe! Try it, you’ll never know, it might work for you too:-P

Also another point to add, whenever I am in a conversation with someone, I will always let the other party enjoy the “glory”. Often, when you are in a group, talking to each other, there would be a few individuals who would proudly layout their accomplishments right infront of you and insist of having an upper hand in the conversations. As a result others might get pretty insecured and try to top the said accomplishments s.. These boring conversations will never end……So normally, I would choose to let the others have the “glory” or the "light". Biarla bagi chance. Indirectly, you feel more calm and confident. You don't need to impress to be accepted. Try and assess yourself when you are in that same situation, what would you do, if the other person shoves you with all his/her accomplishments in life? Would you try to outdo him?

Nonetheless, the most important stuff which I really need to look into, is to learn to tolerate stress. I am really bad at this. Far often, this stress is created NOT only by me but also my surroundings. Life is never fair, I guess I should learn to let go on issues that is beyond my reach or control. Better late than never eh…

My new journey

Wow, this is my second attempt to do up an entry in the blogspot community. The first time I tried this was when I was holidaying in Japan, sometime in August, last year. I wanted to find an easy way to jot down my travelling experiences rather than bringing the journal/diary wherever I went. I found it rather difficult the first time to register in the blogspot as there were too many instructions to follow. Hopefully, this time it is easier. I do have a blog in my yahoo 360 which I find very user friendly since I am no IT savvy!!Hehehe..Yes, I have to admit to that. Well here goes, testing testing 1, 2, 3....
