难得一见的微笑

2008-12-01T22:45:00.005+08:00

我的痘痘都快“跑完”了，应该可以出外见人了。所以就打算驾车回去KL准备我的行李。哈哈！在我的路途中觉得今晚的月亮为什么只有两粒那么少的星星陪伴呢？觉得有点孤独的感觉！在跑多几多公里的时候，突然那月亮带着两粒亮着的“眼睛”和我微笑，我也傻傻的跟它笑了一下。。。。不知道外国的月亮会微笑的吗？

开心/害怕？

2008-11-29T21:30:00.000+08:00

都已经一个星期了，“它们”都开始要离开我的身体了。可是还有几粒痘痘还是不舍得离开，尤其是其中最大的居住在我的手扳上。可是刚刚救一不小心把它弄“破”了。。。当时的我只是想到“惨了，这次一定会有很大的疤痕了”。。也许有第六感知道它就快会离开，下午的时候得空没事做就拿起相机把它拍起了。哎，我不是特地的！你不必再给我特别的留念了，你一直都在我的脑海里的。真的希望我的痘痘尽快离我而去，让我顺顺利利的进关。

chinken pox pox xxxxx

2008-11-24T13:00:00.000+08:00

哎！原本背着开心的心情和我所有的老朋友一起聚会。。。。。。怎么知道竟然在这个时候生“水痘”，现在的心情简直是害怕到不知所措，因为距离起飞的日期只有16天，据我所知水痘大概需要一个月才完全恢复。。。。。。怎么办呢？我不能飞了。。。。。。

顺其自然 ~

2008-11-16T19:01:00.000+08:00

时间过得真快，还有几个星期就快要飞了。在等待的这段时间其实自己已经开始有点担心了。越来越多的疑问在脑海里浮起，经济那么差，会不会找不到工作呢？应不应该现在去呢？一个女子会不会有点危险呢？我的背包旅程会顺利吗？？？？
哎呀！不管了，顺其自然吧！就让它一切随缘吧！
都是趁着还在大马的时间和他们聚一聚，别让他们把我忘了！哈哈！
喂！今年我不能和你们一起度过圣诞节还和新年了。我就在这提早和你们说Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2009.............

”屎党们”！！

2008-11-08T16:00:00.000+08:00

在十月29日得了visa，就开始做完手头上所有的工作，别让自己留掉“收尾”在公司。。哈哈，没了工作，真的“一身松”。虽然是轻松了，可是也有点不舍得这班已经拼了一年半的"屎党",一年半说长不长，说短不短，也渐渐和这班“屎党”擦出了一些感情，虽然有点不雅观的名称，可是我可不会忘记这“历屎”的，我们这班“屎党”呢，有点顽皮，可是如果公司有任何的Project，我们都会合作得把它拼到底，虽然也会有少少的埋怨。。。虽然如此，每当老板一踏出公司门后，我们就会把音乐开大声，谁有话就自然会大声地说出，也有时我们会到老板从来不到达的mamak档“蛇”，谈谈废话也好，谈谈是非也好，只是想松弛下而已。

8.11.2008是我在公司的最后一天，“屎党们再见了”。。。哈哈！我一定不会忘记那句“吃屎啦”！

不管三七二十一，飞吧~~

2008-10-30T14:36:00.000+08:00

原本已有一份安分，稳定的工作与收入，不知何时已经埋藏在我脑中还没实现的梦想又再出现，而且还有一股勇气就直接写了一封辞职信而且还选在八月八号8.8 2008把信交出，打算立刻申请英国的WHM，希望可以实现我的梦想。其实有这勇气也是因为我中六的老友也刚刚拿到了WHM而且人已经在英国了，所以我们约定一起到几个国家去流浪！
很快的我就接到通知去UK High Commission 面试，当时的心情十分的开心，可是也很担心他们的问题。哎！即将来临的面试时又接到Call说我的面试日期延迟！不开心一定会有，可是更不开心的是延迟足足一个月！可是我都不能做些什么，只好等待！
多几天面试就快到了，真的很担心自己能不能过关。。。。。。
面试已经过了，我终于成功拿到了两年的UK Visa 而会在9.12.2008起飞了！！！
虽然心情真的十分开心。可是身边都有很多的朋友一直劝我现在的经济很差，不是时候去哪发展。也有些说一个人去到那么远很危险，又有些跟我说现在我的收入都算稳定就别做傻事了。越来越多的问题一直在我的脑海里浮起！就问回自己应不应该去呢？？
最后，我很肯定地对自己说我一定不会让自己后悔，我一定会在我还没百年归老前完成我的梦想！既然都已经拿了visa就别把它浪费！好吧！拼吧！我来啦。。。。。。
