Feeling down...

It's happening again!!! .... I wonder when it will stop.

Again I'm back to feeling down and lost with loads of confusion. Dad think's it's a sign of depression and i need therapy. He thinks i do not know how to be on my own and i always need company around me. He starts asking me to change my friends (make new ones and start hanging out with new ppl), find new ones and start joining charity clubs and social clubs. It's been day 5 feeling like this now but this is not the first time. Mom on the other hand thinks i should just travel for a bit but knows i can't since i just started working in a new company. My next travel will be in October but it won't be the travel where i can relax. I'll be headed to Melbourne with Mom to visit the family for a week. Younes thinks i should find a partner soon else i will go crazy.

I have been thinking about this seriously lately about what everyone told me.. and seriously.. I love the friends that i got today.Why should i want to change? I've found my "click" ... People that i feel comfortable with and am happy with. At the same time, my schedule is already soooo full with my running / Walking, college, capoeira and social life.

What other friends do you need when you have...

The TB gang (Tanjung Bungah) - The penang gang i have working in KL. I can basically share everything with them and whine all i want. They will still take my shit.. :)

International friends that often come to visit.. exp: Kim and Ali :) Kim has visited 5 times now i think
Of course my capoeira family: EBC Familia!
So much laughter and they accept you in whatever culture,race and size you are
There is also always my sisters from high school. Though half of them are married/preggers or attached, they never forget each other and still finds time to meet up..every so often




Not forgetting the busy girls in KL and Dawn! Everyone having their own busy schedule but will have time for girls night in/out sessions!
And of course those close to me that i see all the time.. The frenchies!
Some leave, new ones come in.. but i will always have my team...

This is a picture of some of the frenchies during our random party crashing on halloween
Partying all the time....
And my favourite: house parties.
And my happy 2010 birthday at the island of no man. Only us and the boat!


I should be happy.. Should i? why do i still feel down whenever i go home. I started running and all.. yet i am totally absolutely.... hopeless. I think it will be better soon. I hope!!!!

Perhaps mom is right.. i need a break.

Bali & Singapore

I just had to show this tattoo...

It feels like it came from a quote in the matrix or something. Peter said it was all from his own weird quotes.. Hence we call him Jesus...

This entry has nothing to do with the tattoo. Wanted to share with everyone after Medan what happened in June...











Basically, I accepted the new job offer in Nike. So now the 3M Juliana Tan is now Nike Juliana Tan. Feels weird since I've been in 3M for 9 years now... well on and off. And i am still taking a leap of faith.. leaving such a big company with a permanent position and going for a 1 year contract job in Nike..


So when i started in Nike, I had to change my flight itinerary for 4 days in Bali to 2 days 1 night.. Which was sad.. but i decided to make the best of it..


Reason for my short trip : Kim gotten me this Bali ticket for my birthday present.. I want to spend time with them as much as possible.

Arriving at Bali, i was greeted by Allison (Kim's gf) and settled down.. etc... Beautiful comfortable hotel.. (with no air conditioning.. ughhh)
Kim and Ally at the hotel.. AT LAST tanned again...
See the hotel.. we had our pool parties
The one thing i did not like in Bali was the sellers walking around all the time at the beach when you are sun-tanning but this guy came with something different.. A head rest.. so your hair wont be covered with sand. For RM 10 i bought it.
Awesome catching the sunset at the over crowded Kuta beach.
Here were part of the gang during my short trip there. I never realized that i was the only asian in the gang.. Zzzz those anti social buggers!

Free flow of drinks are really sinful when you haven't drank in 4 months.
The gang sun tanning.. and im already darker than them before i got under the sun :P
I <3>

Sunday's private pool party
Guess who else was in Bali?

Flew back on Saturday night and flew to Singapore Sunday morning...

Here are some pictures to share with everyone.

Write The Future - Christiano Ronaldo's statue after Portugal won 7-0 against Korea.
First time to Universal Studios... SINGAPORE is better than not going before okay? It was smaller than expected and everything was not fully running yet.. but tickets were sold out 1 week before the date. Thank god i got the tickets way beforehand.
Po the Kung Fu Panda.. My favourite
Puss in boots was also one of my favourites.

HAHAHAAHA!! Just realized how much i look like a dino..
Well.. maybe not..
How many of you were brought up with Beatlejuice!!! i was :)
Mr Chaplin didn't look that real though
Lost in Universal Studios??!

Staying at the Mandarin was convenient in SG. It helped with meeting up with friends








Lazy to talk about my trip already... next post hopefully will be more interesting..

907 meters above sea level

Me and my 3M workmates decided to head to Medan, Indonesia this year for our yearly trip and also my farewell...

So the journey began....
Starting with self check in at the lcct airasia kiosk



Reaching Medan was fast and easy. The state was very dusty and everyone just wants to earn money from you in whatever way...



We found a driver that was really friendly and could speak fluent English. The trip took 5 hours.. When we arrived the hotel, the stupid hotel cancelled out reservation and all the hotels on the mainland was fully book.
Thank god the driver managed to get us a hotel on the island at the lake...Which was soooo much better...



The view was awesome!
The next day we headed around the island..loads of pics were taken..but it's all already on fb now :(

So back at the mainland the next day, we decided to take the longer ride back to Medan. Passing thru berastagi..here are some of the places we stopped by..



Awesome lipur lipur waterfall....



Half way, we had to stop for toilet break..but the only place we found was this small "saloon" and the open air toilet bowl...(is china like that also?)






Back to our jouney....


Crazy people..they managed to squeeze in that many people..


Before reaching back to Medan.. At last I got my corn!! Yummmyyyyyy

Mind blog-Ed

I have been wanting to write more for the longest time but never seem to find the time for it.. Ever since I started "actively" twitting, I just wasn't bothered to keep any post to blog about...

Anyways quick update about myself... I quit my job at last in 3M.
