H O M E A L O N E

While I am writing this, I am at home alone, all by myself, just myself and no one else. This will last for one week. Sigh, what a hell it has been already. Sigh. Mum and Dad have gone to Singapore to visit and my brother. And, what about me? I am here in Miri, working and looking after the house.

It's not fun at all. The feeling of emptiness when I come home from work. Just wish that there is someone that I can be with at this moment. but it ain't gonna happen. So, face it, Jeremy, you are alone for a week. What's the big deal? Didnt you want to try to live in a private studio all by yourself?

Guess it isnt a good idea afterall. Human needs one another. There is no doubt about that. Guess I miss my mom and dad so much now. Hehe. Luckily, I have got work colleagues and my aunt who cooks my dinner for this one week. Other than that, just me at home, whole night, aimless.

The computer is only my entertainment now. Dramas now fill my empty life. Notebook now is used for office work and report writing. PS2 is played more often now. TV is switched on more frequently now. Dishes are washed by me. Gates are locked by me. Cars are driven by me. Breakfast and lunch are made by me. Fridge is used by me. Microwave is used by me. Everything is just ME.

Life is so simple. I understand it now. You can't live by yourself. You need people around you. If not, you will not be able to enjoy life. This experience will certainly make me cherish the people around me more. My parents, siblings, other family members and friends, you all play important roles in my life, and I just can't thank you guys enough. Thank you!

Last few hours of year 2007

It is about 3 hours to the new year, 2008. Gosh, times have passed so fast. Another year has gone. 2007 is a year that I will not forget. Both wonderful and sad things happened in this year. As what people always say, keep the good and learn from the bad. With that mind, I welcome year 2008 with my open arms. Not knowing what the new year might bring, I am confident I am ready to face it.

I believe if you have strong confidence at the beginning of the year, it will be a smooth year ahead. Should you fear what is coming up, you will end up even worse than you have expected. So, let's all WELCOME 2008 with a smile.Hehe.

This is quite random. Haha. I thought it would be interesting to blog about the things that occurred on the last day of year 2007. Hehe. Well, for me, I was in the office practically the whole day, till around 6pm. I woke up pretty early today despite sleeping at only 3am. The first thing I did was to turn on the computer. I have been doing this almost everyday ever since I came back.

Hehe. Some of you might have already guessed it! Yes, it's http://www.1-day.co.nz/. To my shock, I saw N73 as one of the bargains for the day. Tempted as usual, I clicked on it. Sigh, it said currently allocated and asked me to wait. I said to myself, fine, I will wait. I kept refreshing the page but to no avail. In the end, I gave up. It wasted my precious 30 minutes. It was already 7.30am then, I visited the toilet for morning business and had a shower.

Time passed really fast. Without knowing, it was already 5 minutes to work. I was cursing as I knew I was going to be late. So, I rushed to work. Phew, guessed I was lucky. "8.00" was printed on my punch card. Hehe. Close escape.

Well, first task of the day was to measure the remaining dimensions of the gangway. So the other intern and I headed to the yard. It was pretty muddy, but we had no choice but to do it. My shoes was covered with mud, which I didnt realised. Guess what happened next?

Hehe. I conveniently walked into the office with that dirty shoes of mine. I walked around the whole office, coz I was so ke po with the other colleagues. Yet, due to my ignorance, I didnt know the mess that I had caused at that time. Not until someone asked me why was the floor so dirty. Omg. At that moment, I think I blushed quite badly man. I kept on saying sorry. Quickly, I went to find the broom. Thank goodness the mud was already dried, easier for cleaning. As a result, I swept the whole office. I was so embarrassed man. Other colleagues were wondering why was I the cleaner for the day. Haha. Ok. I was the "cleaner".

Hehe, an hour after that, I was given another task. This time, "driver". The company's driver went to Bintulu to pick up some people. So no was around to drive a pretty lady to another company. So, I took up the challenge. Haha. It was a huge challenge. Imaging first time driving the Toyota Ninja. Super huge, much bigger than 8 seaters van which I drove this year. Hehe, but it wasnt a problem. The journey was 100 percent safe. Lolz. So, I was the "driver".

Nothing much happened later in afternoon. I got a bit lazy since tomorrow will be a one day holiday. Hehe. Oh ya, I skipped both breakfast and lunch. It is that a success that I should be proud of? Haha. With that hungry stomach of mine, I came home with a face that was ready to devour anything that was on the dining table. Hehe. Gosh, I ate so much to make up for the skipped meals. I was so bloated. Hehe.

In about 30 minutes, I will be going to a park to have a countdown cum birthday celebration for a friend whose birthday is on the 1st of January. Guess, it's going to be lots of fun. Enjoy the new year guys! May it be another exciting year for all again. God bless!
