I just came back from outing with mama, mimi, ana, masniah and her bf. It was a feast for us at the Pantai Restaurant of the Empire. But the food was too salty for me so for the first time, i had only 1 main course at a buffet and made several trips to the appetizer section. Prefer the salads and sushi.
Does it only happen in Brunei that sushi is the appetizer?? Hmm...
Thanks, Lizzy. Now i know India is still considered Asian. Haha *blushed* Thank god i'm not teaching geography.
I've been relaxing for the past 2 days till i'm beginning to feel worried and guilty now that i haven't touched any of my work. It's just so hard to make myself to do the work on a public holiday but i better start doing it tomorrow. Else, i'll have to do things in haste when monday comes.
I'm looking forward to Monday because i'll be bringing the Fish students to Tasek Merimbun. The view there never fails to captivate me, no matter how many trips i've made. I'm glad that i'm the sort of person who can see the aesthetic value of a place. Because that's a cheap way to destress myself. I wish to go hiking but it's one of the things that i don't feel comfortable going alone. Anyone's interested?
There isn't any change in my weight but i just know it that my body fat is increasing, from all the sungkai meals i had for the past 2 weeks. I'm getting scared of heavy meals. I've tried Tandoor, KTM in Jerudong, Pantai Restaurant of Empire and the seafood restaurant near Jerudong beach. I actually skipped the buffet with the ND fish on thursday at Polo Club. Like i told someone, having buffet once in a while is heaven, but having more than 1 buffet in one week, it becomes a torture! It's not healthy too to have big meals.
For the first time, me and dear didn't chat with each other for 4 consecutive days. It's a new experience, not a good one though. Then in this week, i was asked 4 times the question 'when are you two plan to get married?' by 4 different, unrelated people. Hm... am i that old already?
Like i told Josh, wedding needs a lot of money and the money i'm saving now is for vacation.
How do people think about vacation? For some, it's as simple as buying the ticket and book the hotel, then off they can go. For me, it's something big. Maybe because i didn't get to travel much. I like to go when i'm very sure i won't have financial problem when i'm back.
Recently, i've been thinking what do i want to do in the future. I'm quite sure teaching won't be my lifetime career and one day in the near future, i'm going to get very fed-up with working for the government. Should that happen, i may quit. That's why i must have savings so i won't be tied down by my financial needs.
One day, i'm going to work in a restaurant as a waitress. I realized i love to serve customers and making sure someone has a satisfying meal gives me a sense of accomplishment. I love to smile to people, even if i don't know them. But the world i live in is weird. People find it abnormal to be that polite and i'm too shy and too timid to be the odd one.
One lesson i learned this week is, sometimes, being calculative prevents me from feeling regret in the end. At first, i don't mind helping others, regardless of whether i need to do or not. Then i found out people just push everything to me after some time.
Before this, i'd think that when people offer help, we should reciprocate the offer when have chance. That doesn't happen all the time. There are people who will take the advantage out of it, instead of returning the kindness. Strange world, strange people.
I hope i can be aware of the not-so-positive things in life without getting influenced by it. Learn the good things and neglect the not-good ones.
