I'm taking a break..

Hi chaps....I think I haven't visited my blog as often as I should these past few days...frankly speaking I was tied up with works and I wasn't feeling like penning down anything yet...Chinese New Year...Chap Goh Mei...I had them celebrated with dear friends...hung out,chatting and drinking...not much though as I was trying to reduce the amount of alcohol consumption for a rare trip to Mount Kinabalu...yes, most of you might have heard it from other fellow bloggers, especially from Lumis's blog where she introduces most of the coming-to-be-newly-acquintance-friends....I'm about to have another trip back to Sabah today at around 10:15 am from Penang International Airport...I was in Sabah a month ago and again..I'm going back to Sabah for a short+packed schedule....I wouldn't dare to say that I've prepped myself for this trip as I had just finished packing my stuff into my bag..I have not had any special gears (glove, ski-mask, torch light and etc) ready or anything....I was supposed to get them ready last weekend but I wasn't feeling like doing it...it becomes habit to me now and then...sometimes, I might change my mind about any trip at the very last minute..it happened once although I had bought the flight ticket for that particular trip...be it scary or wasting...I just don't care if I don't feel like doing it...

Still, this trip to Mount Kinabalu..I really don't know if it was my heart who agreed to join or was it just a desire to once again to feel/live the beauty of nature...I know it's going to be a fun trip and I'm hoping a good weather during the whole trip...last year, I told myself that I'm going to use this particular moment at a particular location above the sea-level to re-evalute my life..re-evalute things that had happened...things that I should be looking at or needing more attention in my present life...I just don't know how would it be but I do know that I truly need a break from workplace...I have not had any of my-moment at workplace since my return in early January...I was continuesly busy and pressured....good thing was, I wasn't even once felt stressed like most people would have, my mind is just tired...it sounds to me that I'm complaining huh...that's this crap that I've been trying to tell to myself over and over again to not ever fall off the track and just keep it up to my best...

It's now 6:25am..I'm not planning to sleep until I boarded the plane back to Sabah..there, I'll have over 2 hours of rest if I may....will be arriving in KK around noon and heading back to Ranau...spending time with my parents before the actual trip on the 12th Feb...I might try to look for all the 'missing' gears later in Ranau...well, this is not my first trip to Mount Kinabalu and there was once (2nd trip) I went up to the highest peak in SEA without any proper gears (not even a torch light..I kind of used my friend as a torch to light our way up as he had his torch light and we ended up as the first two human to arrive at the peak at dawn that day..still, arriving early was not a very good idea as we had to wait for others before we could walk our way down...silap sikit mati kesejukan menunggu..haha)....have the management installed any lights along the track? How would that be like?Would it still be adventerous?

I believe most Sabahan have not climbed the Mount Kinabalu..understandable la if you have a health complication but for those who haven't done it and you don't have any health issue...I would highly recommend to not to miss the chance to conquer the highest peak in SEA...I told my Tech Director about this trip and he's interested to know more about Mount Kinabalu...he's an out-door type of guy...cycling, rock climbing, kayaking, jungle tracking and conquering mountains around Europe...and he was kind of shocked to know the height of Mount Kinabalu (he has never climbed as high as Mount Kinabalu..)

A'ight peeps..I'm going to take a bath now and get ready before Jew wakes up....later guys!

Life or Live on...

Weeks after week...life is getting busier than before...I know why and I don't want to complaint nor whining about that because I know it's a valuable experience in future time..I'm only a servant but at the same time I'm also the senior among others...I have to take care almost everything in the office..to be exact..I'm the acting Manager in the absence of my Manager..well he'll be back in October along with the Tech Director to conduct another interview session...we're expanding a'ight...

At first, I didn't even realize that when he took off (to UK) in July but weeks after week...especially in the past 3 weeks..I'm sort of losing balance..I really need a rest...I'm not feeling any stress nor tension, it just that my mind is so so tired...not my body or soul though..I can imagine that my mind (brain) is running almost 20/7 these days..I have to think, observe, analysis and execute the final result...these couple of weeks..although it was weekends..I still have to catch up with office stuff...I have to catch up with my team and during weekdays..I have to catch up on everything especially colleagues that needing help in consultation or office matters...I'm doing 4 responsibilities at a time....customer consultation, development, acting manager and a senior to my colleagues...they're fun sometimes but there were times when you think this is too much....thankfully I'm still able and managed to cope with these responsibilities...thanks to my patience and rationality..I handle or think things in a logical way possible..so it helps me a lot in making decision...

I really need a break...I still have a balance of 9 days off this year..I haven't had any plan but I may use them soon enough..nearest holiday I have would be on 25 & 26 Sept...which is in 2 weeks time...I have never applied sick leave nor emergency leave this year..actually I only had them like...1 for sick leave and 1 for emergency leave...since working for this company over 2 years ago...at the end of October 2008, it's already 3 years....I'm expecting another increment later that month as we would have an appraisal early this October...looking forward to that....perhaps another turning point in my career...*cross finger*

I'm giving this post a title of "Life or Live on.." because sometimes I think it is our natural life perspective that we need to work to earn money or work hard to achieve something but at some other time..it could be just a 'thing' that we have to live on with what so ever we have in order to continue our life..more likely as surviving pula.....I really need a break and think of my life in another different perspective...I'm going in the right path but perhaps I may need to revalute my life...
