Take Me Away

Less than a month into our relationship, he took me to a place I'd never been + seen, a perfect island getaway, Pulau Perhentian. I said 'Yes' without hesitation, as affections are steady and the desire to spend bigger chunks of time is clearly mutual between us. It's a group holiday btw.

I managed braving the ocean to snorkel for the first time. It was scary at first but he patiently guided me to discover the wonderful treasures hidden under the ocean. He helped me overcome my fear of water. I've always had a terrible fear of being submerged completely in water (Can't swim!). Snorkeling is an amazing experience. I loved it! Oh and it’s easy to sunburn unnoticed, since the water can keep you feeling cool, even when you’re burning up. I got a tan, and he got a sunburn! Hehe

He has given me a new lease on life - this time last year I would never have had had the courage to do half the things I can do now. He is more than I could have ever dreamed of. I can feel his Halo and I pray it won't fade away...

Within this 2 weeks he'll be taking me to 3 new places. I'm a bit nervous but yet excited. If we are destined for a life of travel and fun together, I've got nothin' left to say, just take me away.

Mega Date

Conversations initiated after about a year of no contact led to the first date. It started off with a surprise belated birthday celebration with his best buddies. We really surprised him because he can't figure how did we pull it off when it was supposed to be my first time meeting all of them. Hehe terer x kami berkomplot, tau xpe. Then karaoke session for 2 hours followed by an enjoyable late dinner in a treehouse gazebo. We made a quick stop at my house, packed my things and went back to the resort. Balcony-talk with the rest till 3++ am zzZz

While some were asleep and some went out for breakfast, we both spent our morning watching a movie (our first movie!) together, altho it's just on an iPad. I had some laughs with him without any make-up on. I hope he still think I'm pretty just like in Katy Perry Teenage Dream song..

Checked out, had lunch, drove to Cherating, checked in. Hit the pool and beach in the evening and had lot lot lot of fun there. He's a good strong 5' 10" swimmer. I can't swim at all, so mcm berendam setempat je. We shared little sweet moments too ;) We started calling each other "syg" ever since *anime nosebleed* Haha ok2 x elaborate byk kang geli pulak, I'm too old for this sh...stuff! After dinner that night, we parted.

Remember the new guy and the new friends.
Longest 1st date. New personal record.
This, kids, is the short version story of how I first met your father...?

P/S - 2nd & 3rd already planned weee!

2011 XP

I'll start with Alhamdulillah...

After few months of dramarama, I'm single, again, so I'll definitely look forward to new love in 2011. The guy that I used to love very deeply is a 'changed' man. From a young naive boy 3 years back, he decided to grow up as a cheater, he had cheated on me once and now he cheats forever more. I really did love him with everything in me. But if he was stupid enough to make the same bad thing again and again, I should be smart enough to let him go.

Long enough now I'm strong enough. Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun. He must be really pissed off when I did nothing for his birthday, not even a birthday wish (He spent A LOT for my birthday I know). He just had to delete my picture on his facebook the day after. Gee, marah pulak ye. I did plan throwing him a surprise birthday party with his friends, well, that did not happen after his sneaky ways were discovered (Thank God!). No wonder lah lately pelik2 mencari pasal eh. I thought he would thank me because I gave him the best present ever - I made it easy for him, I simply 'vanished'. It's ok, thank me later.

Anyway, few days after his birthday I gave him my LAST phone call to see whether he can just be honest with me. Dengan angkuhnye dia buat ayat yg mcm2 konon dia dah x pikir about relationship at all bla bla bla, yg dia tgh serabut bla bla bla. Well, the keji-ness truth was (one of the) betina sundal(s) tu mmg dah tergedik-gedik dah happy dpt spent his birthday together in KL, kantoiii baek punye jugak ngn aku yg kau mmg dasar jantan otak letak kat kote huhu, nah bukti dr betina tu (tp fb kau 'clean' konon baiknyelah sgt sgt kan)

Ke-kantoi-an Syed Muzzaffar Syed Mohsin

It's a bitter end. I experienced a whole gamut of different emotions. I've been losing sleep as he has been going cheap. There were nights I said a prayer and fell asleep, that's when the sweet begins... I learned the difference between chance and decision, giving and receiving, and most importantly, forgiveness. To me, I feel all my different relationships have helped me grow tremendously as a woman and I would not trade the experiences. I can truly embrace, accept and feel the difference in my bones. The scars are nothing compared to the lessons learned.

Let’s face it, we're all only human. In the end, I felt like - Ding! I've achieved a new level in my game. Looking on the bright side - I thank God, my family, my friends and his friends. Let's approach each day with a wonderful sense of wonder and bliss. I'll guard my heart. I'll guard my spirit. Time heals and reveals. Time will tell... ;) Heart-to-heart talk sungguh ni kannn

I have been super busy at work. I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. Sila jgn percaya dua ayat terakhir ni. Happy New Year, 2011! Make it a good one!

Stay

A plain fact of human relationships is this:
People come and people go

Not necessarily from death.
Sometimes simple circumstance
can take a person right out of your hands,
never to be seen again.
That’s sad. But that’s life.

But I can be the one who is there to stay.
You can be the one who is there to stay too.
Destiny permits us to play the game of chances together.
So why not?

Try-Catch

Found this try-catch statement in white paper on "Framework for Secure Application Design and Development":

try
{
do_something_unspeakably_cool();
do_something_potentially_bad();
do_something_weird_that_might_have_enexpected_results();
...
}
catch( char * str )
{
cout << "Exception raised: " <<
str << '\n';
