Under Water with Me

This time its just you, me and the deep waters. Coming all the way to the states was a nice break. Something I've been looking forward to with uncertainty and high level of anxiety. Every time I think about the work or at least my work table in Kemaman..I will shudder with disgust and pray thanks to God for this training I am in.

Its not that I hate my job that much..but most of it is not going my way and I am always finding myself not in unison with my managers. Which, can be a big pain if they start to gang up on you. I just want to go offshore..

Lucky for me, I am not alone here. I have my buddy Zarina with me and we make a note of not talking too much about work as it seems to cast a shadow over everything else on our minds. Like, the course. Haha. It seem time is doing what it is doing best, passing by in a jiffy. I fear the day I have to return back to Kemaman. Haha. Do I really hate my job that much??

We went to the Oklahoma Aquarium, and there was the great sea turtle. There were 2 of them, and the tank was so big. They both looked so calm, serene. At peace.

I wanna grow old like them.

First Week in US

Let's see let's see.. Kinda overdue..but here goes. My first week so far has been a blast! Minus the downsides of it. I'm really looking forward to making myself feel at home with the weeks to come.

The boys in my class are a good bunch. Instantly Zarina and I could differentiate the geniuses, Des Amigos, Le Ruskis and then theres just Nick. Haha. So we have a Columbian, Indian, Mexicana, Russians, Americans and us Malaysians. What a spicy mix! Theres only 9 of us, so I expect for us to get pretty close. And the boys are very kind and speak loud in class so that Ildar does not have to wait that long before getting an answer.



We had our first week exam on Saturday. It was open book. But, for those of you who have never taken an open book exam..those are pretty much the impossible type. We were supposed to be done by 12 but then Ildar decided to let us submit it by 6pm. We completed the task together and all got around the same answer and headed out to McAllister's for some lunch.


And then..We headed out to Woodlands Hill Mall for some soul torturing. Haha. As stated in the entry below. Wiha~!!

Mad about Madden

Yesterday after exams Zarina, Mansur, Dima and I headed out to Woodland's Hill Mall. It was a nice change, after spending a week in the hotel rooms and the dark classroom.. We needed to air out our brains with some retail therapy. We basically ran in and out of Abercrombie, Hollister, Wet Seal, GAP..endless endless. Oh and of course Victoria Secret.



Notionn Gold. My latest splurge. Tak la splurge sangat, since it was on SALE~!! And it was even lesser than the price shown if you go to stevemadden.com =) I came without bringing any sort of sandals or slippers - my all time must have to wear. Of course intentionally. So that I could drool over these babies!!

Next up. This blue leathered piece called Cheryl. Either in deep blue or deep purple. Haven't made up my mind yet. But - Zarina and I have decided not to buy so much while we are here in Oklahoma. For fear of the better things that await us when we get to L.A. at the end of the course!! Oh selamat Hari Raye everibadi!!

29 hours a tad too much

I have safely arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our trip took us a whopping 29 hours. I personally did not expect it to take 29 hours, and just bull headed my way to KLIA wee early in the morning. I woke up that morning not feeling like I wanted to go. But who was I kidding, better go and leave all this crazy-work-world of mine behind. Haha. Hepi.

Abang had a volleyball match that morning so it was just F and I. Ajak came to bid Zarina adieu. Our journey began when we found out that the seats we booked were handed to some other pair. What a total waste of my time. Like, 4 + 12 hours of my time. From KL to Taipei and then from Taipei to LA. Hoh penat siot. I watched a few good movies and scoffed on anything with rice in it for fear of tasting the last good cooked rice before arriving to the states. LAX wasn't what we expected it to be..mcm boring. We had to rush off to the Domestic Terminal 4 for American Airlines, and checked in via computer. Canggih~

Our flight to Dallas was at 4 pm and we were expecting to arrive 3 hours later, at 7pm. Our connecting flight to Tulsa was at 1030pm. We go to Dallas Airport and fussed over coin operated machines cause we were both so thirsty. The machine rejected all our coins and we sadly headed to the skylink to proceed to gate D27. It was then in the train that we saw the time on the screen screaming... 10:00pm!! The time zone changed?? Wahahah cuak gilerrr miss flight. Tanak tido Dallas!!

We frantically made it to D27 and boarded the flight to Tulsa. The steward was a silly goof. "Good evening everyone and welcome to flight Dallas headed for New York (gasps!!)...just kidding" Boleh mcm tu??

Another one would be.. "This is your seat belt, wear it nice and tight just like JLo does" Hahaha..

And once we landed at the airport, "Please beware when opening the overhead compartment and make sure that your shoes match your outfit.." Haha. Klaka kan?? For someone who had been travelling for more than a day, I needed a break.

Haha. Penat gile. I doubt I will ever do this again.
