From Scotland to Pendangshire..A journey to remember...

Hmmm..It has been a long time since my last entry here...I've been very busy at work.. a long strings of meeting, paper works, conferences and entertaining unlimited visitors who came to my office at odd hours..."SIGH"..I'm tired..and someone asked me "CK...how's life ?" and I said seriously "I have no life at all and I can prove it mathematically". He laughed huskily..showing the most straight white teeth I've ever seen in my whole life. I have to hold my breath for a good 2 secs at the sight of it and my mouth was half opened like a gawking teenagers and I was blushing hotly when he added cheekily .." How about dating with me..I think it will coloured your life beautifully"..LOLOL . I feel bad coz my reputation as Puteri ais has been ruined badly . Puteri ais suppose to be cold, feelingless, serious and never give a damn about someone else's teeth..but what did I do ?? Instead of being aloof, I was looking at him dreamily like a Sweet 17..Ishhhh !!!! Wat malu aje..LOLOL...hehehe...I think I definitely need a break.

Suddenly, I miss Scotland, the place where I healed my broken heart, the place that taught me love and friendship is a common scenario in life. The place where I travelled a long way, thousand miles from home just to heal my broken heart. I purposely landed in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, situated in the River Clyde in the west central of lowlands. Scotland is geographically surrounded with lochs, beautiful mountains, hills and rivers. A land where there might not be, as some say, a castles on every hill, but there is a story round every corner: from bloody battles with invaders, mythical creatures haunting the hills and the lochs and a romantic place for lovers and honeymooners. Scotland is a land that evokes many emotions.

In the winter mornings there are always wafts of mist floating above the loch surface and around the waist of the surrounding mountains. The loch is tranquility itself, and so are the reflections of the surrounding mountains on the water. I still remember clearly, there was no sound, not even a chirping sound of birds.The ambient was so peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful and definitely a good place to mend a broken heart.
The tranquility of lochs is unbreakable, the verdure of the mountains and forests are unchangeable, and the clear streams that run down from the top of mountains are gurgling along, unstoppable. But whoever wants to change it anyway? Embrace the nature, explore it and then leave it to peace, that’s one of the best things I would like to do in the nature. And I did so in Scotland.
Then, after a few years in Scotland, when my heart had been partially healed, when my mission had been accomplished with 2 degrees in hands, I decided to take off to home for good. To serve my country and people loyally like a good citizen I suppose to be. And finally I landed in Pendangshire, a small place in Kedah, the place that I call home. The place where nature and greenness are everywhere , which brings a good balance in life for a city girl like me. I enjoy staying in Pendangshire where friendliness is a nature among villagers. They will greet u eagerly with smiles never leave their face and they're willing to help you sincerely and never ask anything in return.

Life is short. I would never allow my life to be consumed with work that brings me nothing but swollen feet, a pounding head, a bitter attitude and a saturated mind. Instead, I like to be "Like Nature". Sit quietly (lots of R & D..LOL), and rest for a moment, enjoy the glory of life while I can. I like to imagine the kind of life I really want. I like to think the idea of perfect life is something simple and not complicated. How I wish to have the kind of "paperless life"...the life with no reports to be submitted, no papers to be delivered/presented and no meetings to be attended. I want to enjoy life to the fullest coz life is too short to worry too much. I hope one day I can declare proudly "My life is so colourful and I can prove it chemically"..hmmmm

    Nampaknya u mcm cemburu dengan i..LOLOL. anyway i cannot help it, that's the life i'm living with at the moment. Bangun, mandi, online, check email, check bank account, duit masuk, tengok tv, gelak2, makan, baca blog orang, check bank account lagi, ok duit masuk, senyum, main sms, main beads, surf resepi, check bank account lagi, ok duit masuk, make phone calls, makan icecream sambil tunggu u online, and i do it all in my blue towel.. I love my life.. It's just that i dont wish for someone with straight white teeth to come along coz those teeth might just be dentures. And those smiles may be artificial and i bet you can prove it heartily.
