Home.

I've been home for almost 3 weeks now. Haven had the time to really relax. Busy preparing for Xmas. Exciting!

So the 1st 2 weeks, my friends from KL and Kuching were here for a holiday. We all had a great time. I also went to meet up with my high school friends. Everyone's back, most of them. Happy to see them and to catch up.

Enjoy this video..

Beautiful Maldives

I've been back from Maldives for 2 weeks now. Haven had time to relax until now. This is a summary of my whole trip in Maldives.

My 2 months there, i've really enjoyed every bit of it. It was a whole different experience compare to the 1st 2 i had. We met all kinds of people from different parts of the world. Glad to know friends of different nationalities. If you ask me what i miss the most, its not the place or the work, but the friends i made and also the time i get to spend with my college mates. Really miss it. I put up pics of some memorable times i had in Maldives.

The day i arrived in Maldives International Airport. Small. and the smell of the sea..was a little sickening in the beginning. Haha!

The 1st few days was just getting to know the place..and..SLEEP!! We got nothing to do, so we just sleep and sleep.

I went for Dolphin Quest with Daphne and Christina on our off day. Oh, the boat we're in its call the "Dhoni", a traditional Maldivian boat.

Searching for this darling.

One of the days, we went to Naladhu, its a 6 star resort where there's only 19 rooms on the island. They have their own swimming pool and house master to take care of them. Its a dream to stay there. Its about 2k usd per night.

We went snorkeling.

Sun tanning. This boat is call a "Pontoon".

2nd Nov, its the festival of light in Thailand, aka Loy Kratong Festival. We went to participate in the event. My friends releasing their light after they say their prayers.

Siao Za Bo.

14th Nov, we went for island hopping and snorkeling in another island. Visiting the local communities and things left behind during the Tsunami.

19th Nov, finally i had the time for diving.

22nd Nov, the night before we left, our HR director, Mr Bernard treat us for dinner in Aioli Restaurant. Good food!

Then, we took a boat to Hulhule Hotel for a drink. Its the only place that sells alcohol. We had a great time chit chatting and laughing. Enjoying our time with our "daddy".

Right, we crazy people had been staying up the whole night the last week we're there. Everyday around 10.30pm, we'll head to the canteen for yum cha. Then head to the jetty about 2am. Climb on the boat. Lie on the deck and look at the stars. Chit chatting away until 5am in the morning, we'll go watch the sunrise. EVERYDAY!! Crazy. See our sleepy faces.

Yes, we brought pillows and blankets. and of course junks!

Just to watch this. Then go for breakfast before we head to bed.

Our last day in Maldives.

We all dressed up nicely. All the girls wore dresses because we did not have the chance to wear it for 2 months. Haha. We went to the beach and just relax. Some were sun bathing, some were chit chatting. Marvin, Christina and i were in the water. Yes, with our dresses(i mean me and chris)

Night came and it was time to say goodbye to our friends.

This is Vinzo from Philippines. A good friend from the Pastry Kitchen.

Master Soruban from Finance. He faints everytime the 3 of us disturbs him. Haha

With Lareina from Aquafanatics Water Sports Centre.

With everyone everywhere. They sent us off. *sobs sobs*

Missing everything now..

Enjoying

Its our last few days here and we're using it to the fullest. We've been staying up all night for 2 days now just chit chatting and waiting to see sunrise. Crazy People! but i'm enjoying every bit of it. Relax.

Yesterday i went diving with another 4 friends. Finally after so long. Great dive. Din get to see much fishes but lots of corals. Different kinds and really pretty. Worth it!

Final week in Maldives

Less than a week and i'll be back in Malaysia. All of us cant wait to leave and get back to a place where there's good food always.

Will update when i get back. No time..

I'm going for diving tomorrow. FINALLY!

3C people, let's move it and make things happen! Bonne Chance!

Day 48 - Maldives

Sigh.

Its all i can say.

Holding it inside

Wear a mask

Put on a fake smile

Its harder than i thought

Sigh.

Its all i can say

Day 38 - Maldives

Yup, its more than a month already. Time flies.

Last Friday was my last day in FO. Glad to change department because of the travelling and i wasn learning much. Went snorkeling with Christina and Sin Sien on Saturday and enjoy the weekend off.

I changed to Finance department this week starting Monday. Jovin, Theresia n i are in Finance. Christina,Ray and Daphne in HR and Sin Sien,Marvin in Kihavah's pre-opening office. Our work time are all the same which is good. 9-6pmeveryday. Loving the work and the people in finance. Enjoying it. =)

But this week was really tiring for all of us. There was a big group from China,about 36 of them and none of them speak English except the tour leader. The fnb manager requested us to help them out for 4 days while these guests are here. This group of Chinese are very demanding and not friendly at all. They ask for every ridiculous thing they can think of and they are super stingy people. Not willing to even buy a bottle of mineral water. My friends and i were assigned to different outlets at different time to serve this group. I worked every night until 9 something or even 11. Working more than 12 hours everyday. Je suis fatigue!! In the end we get nothing but complaints. Sigh. We also have to assist the water sports centre with these people for fishing, snorkeling and dolphin quest. We were like 24 hours on call. It was hell. I went with them for snorkeling and it was horrible. They were like kids. We had to help them put on masks and so on. Urgh! Really terrible terrible people. At that time i wish i dont speak Mandarin or cantonese. They finally left yesterday and we are all happy. Haha.

*breathes*
Finally i get to rest today. Tonight night audit. Its gonna be fun. =)

Day 24 - Maldives

Finally i have the time to update this blog.

Time really flies. I've been here for almost a month already. Work have been good. Still more of a translator but i also get to learn other things. People here in my department are all very nice and crazy people. Sometimes we just couldn stop laughing. I'm gonna miss them when i change department.

Last Saturday's day off, i went out with Christina and Daphne to see dolphins together with some guests. It was a good trip just spending time together to relax.

Yesterday was my day off too. This time 4 of us. We went kayaking and snorkeling. The funny thing is, the sea here is very strange. Some parts are very deep and some were very shallow until my ankle or sometimes till my knees. Christina and i was on one kayak, while Sin Sien and Ray were in another kayak. We kayak till a certain point and our kayak stopped because the water was up to my ankles. Christina and i had to come out of the kayak and pull until somewhere deep. We laughed non stop. It was a good day out. Tiring though. I wanna dive on my next off day. =)

That's all for now. Bye bye.

Missing Malaysia....

Day 18 - Maldives

Updates coming up..

Stay tune.

=)

Happy Birthday Daphne

Wish you all the best in life. Love you always.

Day 10 - Maldives

Finally my off day. 2 days of night shift is tiring.

I just came back from a meeting with the HR director, Mr Bernard. It was suppose to be a 30 mins meeting but it turned out to be 2 hours because there were a lot of things to discuss. We prepared powerpoint to present to him about all the problems and what we have learnt this 1st week. also what have to be improve. He was impress because its only our 1st week and we've got a lot of points. We now need to do a proper report so that he can present it to the managers. There're new plans for us, hopefully its approve. We're excited.

Finally i have to time to upload pics. Here goes..

Spa. Everyday i have to walk here to take a boat to my workplace. 2boats everyday.

The island i'm working in. Veli

Another island, Dhigu

Dhigu. Pool and Sea

Will upload more nx time. or just check in facebook. tags from my friends.

Anyway, i thought there was no way i get to celebrate my bday here. I just kept quiet. My friends just greet me and thats all. Until last time after my shift at 12am, i came back to the room and found the 2 guys in my room and everyone was still awake. Din suspect anything because they told me they're waiting for me to go yum cha. which we do every night. Everyone just do their own thing until suddenly they started singing the birthday song. I was suprised. Theresia was holding a cake. We just cut, eat and then everyone slept. They told me it was suppose to be the night before but i had to worked till 2am so the plan was off. Even though its just a small thing but i really appreciate it. They purposely try to get someone to buy me a cake from Male. Daphne was outside in the cold waiting for my dear cake. Haha. Thanks gal.

the guy who bought the cake gave wrong age. i'm only 20 ok? haha

Thank you Monkeys(Theresia, Daphne, Christina,Marvin, Sin Sien, Ray & Jovin). I really appreciate ur friendship and love. Wish you all the best in everything. Love you all.
