Bintan getaway..

Went for a short getaway to Bintan last weekend with a friend. It was my second time there and I stayed at the same resort. This time however, it was pretty much relaxed compared to the last time I was there. Besides swimming in the pool, I had gone for an hour's All Terrain Vehicle ride through the jungle and the beach (which left me feeling sore for two days) followed by a massage and pedicure. But last weekend I only spend some time in the swimming pool and went for a manicure and pedicure. I was surprised I still felt tired though. Maybe it was because of the lack of sleep. We also spend a lot of time being cam whores. :) You can check out the pictures at www.ringo.com Just to remind you again, key in my email address, juz_someone@hotmail.com under the Find a Friend tab. I didn't really take a lot of photos since I stayed at the same resort and I had already taken some pictures when I was there last year.

The ferry ride back home was kinda rough. Felt like I was on a roller coaster and my friend and I had to rub axe oil on our noses to block out the distinct smell of vomit from a passenger who had puked. If not for the axe oil and sour plums that we had, I think both of us would have joined in the vomitting session. In fact, even on the way to Bintan, there were some passengers who had puked. Strange, considering the fact that I did not see anyone empty their stomach contents during my first trip there.

Next month, I'll be going on a one day company trip to Batam with my colleagues. Never been there and I'm looking forward to it. We'll be going to Waterfront and I hope I'll get to ride the Go-Kart! Micheal Schummacher (not sure if I got his name right) here I come! ;p The following month after that, I might travel somewhere again. Not really sure where to though. I'm waiting for the NATAS Travel and Tours exhibition so I could check out the various destinations on offer. My boyfriend's already complaining about how he should have met me much earlier, before I had all these trips planned. He was whining about how he was not able to talk long hours on the phone with me when I left for Bintan, though it was only for two days one night. And he couldn't bear the thought that I might be gone for at least a week in April. Haha..I think he's sweet..but too bad, I already had the 'Places I wanna visit while I'm still single" motto instilled in my mind before he came along. If things work out really well between us, I may have to pull a tight rein on my expenses and won't be able to travel so much anymore. We'll see how it goes..only time will tell..*shrug* Right now, I just wanna pamper myself as best as I can, before I have or make any commitments.

Okay..gotta get ready soon to meet my boyfriend. It's raining now..hope the weather won't take a turn for the worse. Most importantly, hope our 'date' today will turn out great!

Bad and Good News...

Been awhile since I last posted an entry. Nothing interesting or out of the ordinary have been happening and I have been having quite a busy social life. Speaking of which, on Valentine's day, I went out with a friend for dinner at Chijmes. It felt kinda surreal. Though it was somewhat a casual date, it was the first time someone took me to a nice, cozy restaurant. We ordered a set meal for two and the 3 course meal took two hours! We had to wait for quite some time before our next dish was served even though we finished each meal in less than half and hour as the restaurant was packed.

Later at night, I headed for a girls nite out at MOS. And this, by far was the worse clubbing experience ever! Not only did I misjudged my alcohol limit, which caused me to be dead drunk, I lost my IC (again!) and got separated from my friends and was left alone in the end. Ok, I lost my whole purse actually. And it was my favourite clutch bag that I bought from Australia! Urgh!! Must have dropped it while I was making my way to the washroom. To cut a long story short, I spend only 10 - 15 minutes on the dance floor and the rest, sleeping in the toilet and outside of the club puking my guts out. I saw one of my friend emptying her guts beside me and there were a couple of guys trying to help us. It was all a blur actually and I think I fell in and out of sleep. The next thing I knew, my friends were gone. Turns out my friend's friend took her home and left me on the pavement! A security who worked there took care of me and gave me sour plums and plain water. He offered to send me home, no..he said that one of his friends who stayed in the same area as me will send me home if I could not contact anyone to fetch me. A good thing I still have my hp and a good thing in my drunken state, I could still dial the number of the only person who was on my mind. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what might happened should I risk taking a lift from a complete stranger.

He was on night shift actually and all I could mumbled to him was that I was alone, with no money on me and no way to get home. He wanted me to take a cab and make my way to his workplace so he could give me some money but I told him I could barely stand. In the end, he had to take urgent leave from work and took a cab down. I have been drunk before but never this bad. I was so frustrated with myself for letting myself lose control. To think I had to be taken care of by strangers! I'm lucky that I was not taken advantage of or anything like that. So yeah..the bad news is that I lost my IC again and since I've already lost it 3 times, I might be investigated if I lost it again so I'm really hoping some kind soul would send my IC back to me. I think I'm going to lay off clubbing in the meantime. Think I might hang up my dancing shoes even. I've been saying how I wanna club a lot till the moment where I can say I've had enough. And I think, this is it. I don't think I can even look at alcohol the same way again.

Oh yeah..the good news? Well..I didn't really wanna tell anyone too early yet. Only a few people knew and I thought I would break the news to the rest of my friends only much later. But it's been a really crazy and bad week that I thought I should end it with something worth smiling about. Well....I'm now attached! Now..now..don't get too excited. We officially became a couple only yesterday, on the 16th of February. The guy who had to come to my rescue when I was drunk was him. It made me realised that not many guys would take leave from work in the early hours to fetch a drunk girl home. He really took care of me and made sure I reached home safely. This act of kindness - and dare I say love? - prompted me to give him a chance. I know you guys are curious about how we met and all that. I'll write about it later aite. And I know my hp's gonna ring the moment someone read this! Haha..so yeah. I guess whatever happened was kinda a blessing in disguise. So wish me luck yeah..for me to get my IC back and for this newfound relationship. Hope everything will turn out well in the end...
