Unplanned BBQ...

Pics from Scotland Road Trip

A looonnnggg looooggg time ago~~ in a far farrrr away land~~~

Im off to....

MNG and Zara huntings (yes huntingSSS)!! Wuhoooo~~~

What I didnt realise when we booked our flights was it coincides with the time of the year where hell let loose.. ok so not quite.. but you get what I mean... Do not go to the banks, Gadong or Qlap without expecting there'll be a loooooooooooongggg queue or traffic jamsss.. yupe, its bonus time!!

But anyway, that wasnt what I had in mind.. keke... Im off on holiday tmrw with Zai & Dina. The last time I was on one with them was the Scotland road trip, which we had a blast anyway!! and that was errrrr Easter 2004, a looooongg time ago hehe.

So Nurul just got back from KL herself.. and she said sale is on!! yuhooo~~ and theres a clearance sale at Zara KLCC! muahahhaha. God help me!!

Missing...

UK...

I had english patients just now, father and son... felt like old times when I was back in BMEC, Brum doing my training. Missed the life... not the work life tho. That kinda suck! haha. I was sooo ready to get out of there!

I missed my starbucks sessions with Jolene.. nothing good than a cup of hot chocholate in cold breezy winter and a good chat with a dear friend.. hehe

I missed my aimless wandering about in town after a hard day at uni or work... just going in and out of shops at Bull Ring...

I missed the Sunday talks with the girls... Kitchener Road will never be the same without the 64 girls keke

I missed the Boxing day trip down to London with Izza.. or any retail therapy with her for that matter.. those days are over.. sigh [well not quite tho... ;)]

I missed going to Oxford St on a saturday just to get the yummiest belgian waffle I've ever tasted in my life... then go home...

I missed the life where you can just be carefree and not think of anything but just living the moment...

I missed all those... but I wont trade what I have now for then... hehe nows just too good too!! ;)

Travis - Love will Come Through

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone in this lie

So look up
Take it away
Don't look da-da-da- down the mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through it's just waiting for you

Well I stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I got a feeling it's right

If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no makebelieving
The sound of the wings of the flight of a dove

Take it away
Don't look da-da-da down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone anything anyhow...

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through it's just waiting for you

So look up
Take it away
Don't look da-da-da- down

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return anyone anything anyhow...

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through it's just waiting for you

Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through

Robin Thicke - Against The World

These days it's hard to find

someone to love

once you find them

you don't want to give up

And now I know that we're

both alone in this

it's just me and you

against the world

And there's me

and there's you

It's just me and

you against the world

(Oh girl)

And, what am I supposed to do

the alarms are going off in my head

and It's dangerous

yes It's complicated

We're the only ones who get it

the only ones that want this

the only ones who believe

in love

It's just the two of us getting into love

It take two of us to change the world

I've got you

you've got me

It's just me and you

against the world

Girl, you got me so crazy in longing

and I know it's wrong but so right

and i'm holding you

I have been dreaming

and I can't let you go

now, you're mine

Girl, what am I supposed to do

the alarms are going off in my head

It's just the two of us getting into love

It takes two of us to change the world

I got you

you got me

It's just me and you

against the world

It's just the two of us

getting into love

It takes two of us

to change the world

A day in the life of an optom...

Sometimes I have those days where I wonder why it is I do what I'm doing... That is being an optom, of course..
Why did I choose optometry?
I won't go into details but part of the reason is I love the surprises that the job brings in terms of the patients I see.
Everyday is a brand new day, and everyday I will be reminded of tat reason alone.
I've come across patients who make me smile to my ears, and those who make me cursed and wish I was somewhere else but 'here' (thank god that dont happen too often!)

I see patients from all walks of life,
infants to preschool kids who just won't sit still and let me examine them,
to school age kids who won't even say a word when I asked them a question,
to teenagers who don't take me seriously (and yes.... I rather be somewhere other than here missy, you're not the only one),
not forgetting those who don't need glasses but want glasses coz' everyone else is wearing one and they think it's soooo coooolll!! (yes, i get those too!)
to mummies and daddies,
and not forgetting grannies... whom I have to 'shout' to (not at yeah :P) coz apparently I have a soft voice (btw, it was d sound system that made it into BB, NOT my voice :P)

Yupe, those are the perks of being an optom... Well, my perks anyway!!

Some moments I will always remember, like this patient of mine, a primary 2 girl this year, first came about 1 1/2 year ago.
I literally spent like 1+hr just to pujuk her to let me examine her!! hahaha I don't know how i had the patience, but I managed to get some readings from her.
And yupe, she wears glasses full time now, and yes... everytime she comes she requests to see me :D coz I'm not scary. hahaha. No, she's just shy, so the mum thinks it's easier if she sees the same person every single time.

Another one, this I just had to laugh. Happened this very morning, hence the need for me to note it down somewhere hehe.
So, yeah we have assistant to bring the patients in to our room.. And patient seated and I did the examination and everything... finished but just one thing didn't tally.
He said he's been coming to the clinic plenty of times but I couldn't find the notes anywhere. Decided to go out to check if he has another file somewhere, but when I checked into the system, he is a SHE!!
I was like... 'errrr there is a guy sitting in my room rite? He is a he rite?'
hahhahaha.
Ok, at this point I was thinking, they somehow got the wrong file... Same name, but different file... until...
Yes until my assistant said... hmmm I did ask him if his name was such and such...
So he went back to my room and asked the guy....
HE WASNT EVEN A SHE.
LOL.HAHHAHAHHAHA.
I had to sit down. Literally.
HAHHAHAHAHHA. Cracked me up brabis!!
That person got up, thinking it was him who was called.
And I finished examining him!!
Ya rabbi!!!! Imagine if I didn't ask the guy any questions.... but good thing I did :D

My patients just make me laugh eh!! Seriously. This one is a funny one too. Happened earlier in the year.
So came in the receptionist. I thought she needed something, but I was soooo wrong. She came to tell me a story. My story. haha.
I asked my last patient to make the next appointment out in front. He did and while at it, he asked whom it was he saw.
She answered 'Oh, that's Suhara.. bla bla bla'
'Melayu kah tu? Aku bagi salam awal2 sama ahir atu nda ia jawap bah'
(Okay must I answer out loud kah? And yes, of coz I heard him! And no, I wasn't ignoring him hehe)
'Ah... jgn tah kita heran andang alussssss tu suaranya atu. Kita kali nda kedengaran atau ia nda dgr kita'
'Ah bah... kirim salam saja ia'
HAHHAHHAHAHHA. MAJAL yeah? :P
I didn't realise I must behave in a certain way in handling patients. So they like to be looked at and us jawap salam.
Ok I will remember that.. Look at the person, jawap salam and smile :P
Know your manners suh hahhahaha.

My patients so many fuuuuunnnnehhhhhhh funny ones meh! LOL.Gotta love them.hahahaha.

Mario - How Do I Breathe

How do I breathe
How do I breathe mmm mmm..
Feels so different being here
I'm so used to being next to you
Life for me is not the same
Theres no-one to talk to
Don't know why I let it go too far
Starting over it's so hard
Seems like everywhere I try to go
I keep thinking of you
I just had a wakeup call
Wishing that I never let you fall
Baby your not to blame at all
When i'm the one that pushed you away
Baby if you knew I care
You never would’ve went nowhere
Girl I should have been right there

How do I breathe
Without you here by my side
How will I see
when Your love brought me to the light
Where do I go
When your hearts where I lay my head
When your not with me
How do I breathe
How do I breathe

Girl I'm losing my mind
Yes I made a mistake
Thought that you would be mine
Guess the joke was on me
I miss you so bad I cant sleep
I wish I knew where you could be
Another dude is replacing me
Girl this cant be happening
I just had a wakeup call
Wishing that I never let you fall
Baby your not to blame at all
When i'm the one that pushed you away
Baby if you knew I care

You never would have went nowhere
Girl I should have been right there

and I wonder
How do I breathe
Without you here by my side
How will I see
when Your love brought me to the light
Where do I go
When your hearts where I lay my head
When your not with me
How do I breathe
How do I breathe

I cant get over you no
Baby I dont wanna let go
Girl you need to come home
Back to me
Cause girl you made it hard to breathe
When your not with me

Tell me
How do I breathe
Without you here by my side
How will I see
When Your love brought me to the light
Where do I go
When your hearts where I laid my head
When your not with me
How do I breathe
How do I breathe

Tell me
How do I breathe
Without you here by my side
How will I see
When Your love brought me to the light
Where do I go
When your hearts where I laid my head
When your not with me
How do I breathe
How do I breathe

7.30..

That was the time I arrived at the office today. AMAZING!! hehe which is a rare thing btw. So they've opened the Jln Tutong already, just one lane tho.

It was closed after a landslide covered both the lanes going to Bandar. I found out on tue morning, when I was already running late for work (got up 7am!!) in the car... Mannnnnn, Jangsak was jammed packed, from Kilanas to traffic light at Beribi!! So yeah I was late for work keke 8.15 arrived at the office. But nyuhuuuu~~~ I wasn't the only one keke.

So here I am today.. thought I had to go round Jangsak again so left a bit early.. happily munching 6 (yes, SIX!) cucur pisang thinking I'd be stuck in traffic forever ehhe. Took my sweet time driving to work listening to.... 'How do I breathe~~~'

Zodiac Personality...

so Kill me :P ok ok I was THAT jobless haha

Pisces

Romantic Pisces, you are the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac. You are regarded as the sign of sensitivity and receptivity, and are a true chameleon by being mutable and infinitely complex. Your keywords are communion and vision, and you have the capacity to go beyond this world to the one of dreams and the spirit.

Your ruler Neptune, the planet of confusion and chaos, gets people out of habits that imprison them so that they question themselves and can discover another path toward growth and spirituality. Neptune is also the planet of imagination and illusion, and governs the dream world with all its many facets.

Pisces is the third of the three water signs, which means that you are concerned with the realm of emotion and feeling. You deal with sensitivity, intuition, and deeper psychic aspects of life. You are able to conduct unconscious telepathic communication with others.

Your sign rules the twelfth house of the chart, the sector associated with the unconscious, need for seclusion, and places of restriction. This house describes the wellspring of your being, including psychological problems that you repress. This house is very healing and can promote personal and spiritual growth, once you make the effort to go deeper and face YOUR reality.

Pisces is a mutable sign. You adapt to the exigencies of life and ingeniously melt into circumstances like a chameleon. In your interaction with others, you are personable and compassionate, and successfully connect on a deep emotional level.

Your strengths, dear Pisces, lie in your altruistic and empathetic nature, because you feel the urge to help people less fortunate than you. Your sensitivity and intuition make you a true healer. Your strong imagination and highly evolved creativity predispose you to artistic expression.

Your main weaknesses are that you can be weak-willed, passive, and indecisive. Many times, you prefer to escape reality and indulge in your dreamworld. Chaos and confusion can be present in you, which may frustrate your circle of friends. At the same time, you can be oversensitive and fragile, feeling victimized by others.

And I found this also...

Pisces (February 20–March 20):Sensitive, compassionate, sympathetic, and receptive. A born healer; a true mystic. Needs a soothing environment. Life is an ocean; I am a current.

The Enneagram Test: What The Ancient Science of Personality Says About You

I am not one to do one of those lengthy personality surveys but this kinda intrigued me.. so I did... So apparently Im a Humanitarian hehe

Suh, you're a Type 2 - The Humanitarian

Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your caring and generous nature. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you'll usually offer a shoulder to cry on and unparalleled compassion. As a Humanitarian, you're likely to be seen as a loving and helpful person with a kind heart.

Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Mother Teresa, with her tireless devotion to aid the sick and destitute members of society, and Bishop Desmond Tutu, with his emphasis on nonviolent protest against racial injustices, are also Type 2s

This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of empathy for other people. In fact, you're the kind of warm, sincere person who can be uniquely capable of seeing the good in others.

Seriously.. It's time!!

Its time~~~

TO LEAVE....
