Tumble and Fall...

I've had a short breakaway last 2 weeks ago. It was a wonderful experience, but what touches me the most is how 'I begin to like 'X'. Mixing around those from other states make me realize that these ppl has put all their hear out for X.

I have loads of fun but it was dead tiring as there were so many activities line up for us. We hardly got any rest...

So here how it starts...

Thanks to Mr. Johari, we managed to get to Kuala Tahan by 12.30PM. Thx for 'tumpangkan' me. Appreciate it a lot. Once we arrived, we were then told to pack our stuff for 2 days 1 night camp. You should have seen my face reaction on that moment. It has been along time since I've stepped my foot to the 'woods'. Ahhhhh, only one thing that I dislike is 'being dirty'.

So we were then brought for a boat ride nearly about 30 minutes to this island. Yes, we are left stranded for one day there. Set up our camp and off the muslims went for prayers. I was deeply asleep...while awaits for the team to finish their prayer. No problem for me as I adapt quickly to any environment.
A discussion took place along the way as in to create our cheer and group flag. Blue was my group and our cheer goes 'SLUMBER GILER...' The dinner was SUPERB! Yeah, we don't have to cook! Eventually the local guide cook for us, we had RICE, HOTDOGS, GRILLED CHICKEN/FISH, and even LAMB! and not to mention TOMYAM soup as well. Thumbs up guys.

We were all drop dead tired (long hour travel journey) and we still needed to drag ourselves to the 'kupasan tugasan' session. All in all, it was great for the starts. It was refreshing exposure, I must say.

Boat ride..wohooo

Superb scenery

All ups and set your camp!

BLUE TEAM!!!

So many activites in-stored for us. There were CAVE EXPLORATION, CANOPY WALK, TEAM BUILDING activities, Site Seeing for 'Ikan Kelah', HIKING, and so much more. I enjoyed every single of the activity..it was really goooood.
There was Hari Raya Dinner held for us as well. Eventually I celebrated my birthday there as well. Thank you for the gift and guess what I won the 'best partcipant'. Wohooo!

Thank you Kelab TM Malaysia!

Any my greatest thanks to Mr. Johari, Encik Azmi, Puan Rohayah, Puan Zainon, Puan Aishah and Mr. Azman Zan Jusoh for the opportunity.

Today (2 Nov 2008)

I felt a sense of 'clear direction'. I did a emcee job for Taiko's Marketing Annual Dinner and it went 'quite well' just a little of out of hand issue on the stage. Still it ended nicely. Got a pat from the TMK's upper management and yup, it's a wrap for me.

It has been a (1) yr since I left the hosting job, and when I'm on the stage yesterday, I feel being 'Mei'.

Everything is clearer now...I have my dreams to achieve.

I'm going to utilize my time well. Few things that I intend to brush up:

1. My guitar lessons (Yes, I can sing..as well)

- Since I sold my guitar to one of my friend, I need to buy one.

2. Mandarin...language

3. Freelance Master of Ceremony (Hmm...?)

- Looking at my portfolio, yea...I do have the experience...hmmm, I think I should to get extra cash.

Back to TMK's emceeing. Came back from One World Hotel at 12.00am, got a quick shower and off I went to bed. Usually when I'm in my good mood, I normally listen to music when I sleep...and I did.

Slept soundly, till I get a SMS text from my bro: Hafizi.

It was a devastated news to me..it's a great lost to Noh and his family. Things quite rough for them, and I wish I could help...

Eventually my horoscope for today has never been so accurate...

The Bottom Line
You may really want to help a friend, but there are real limits to what you can do.
In Detail
You may really want to help a friend or coworker who is struggling to keep up right now, but there are limits to what you can do. Don't beat yourself up if you can't make their world as sunshiney bright as you feel it should be. Everyone goes through tough times, and this person will get through it. More than anything, they just need your support right now. You might not be able to change anything for them, but you can be their friend -- and that's priceless. So just aim for that.

Yours truly:

Mei
