Chapter 2: Missing In Action

Posted on By sweet surrender 16 Comments on Chapter 2: Missing In Action

…continue from Chapter 1: Hello Stranger

I ignored the feelings as I think it might just be a crush. He did ask for my phone number but I didn’t give him because I won’t give him my home number. I told him to wait till I got a mobile phone. On my birthday, I got a mobile phone and I immediately gave him my phone number after I bought the SIM pack. However, he never called, I didn’t mind, even if he did call, I’d be speechless hahaha… We just interacted via e-mail and MSN like usual.

It happened that I was going to Singapore for a holiday with Ann few days before 2003 Christmas. I told him about it and we were thinking of meeting up in Singapore since he’ll be in Singapore during that period of time as he and his friends had promised the children at The Salvation Army that they’ll be bringing them out to play. They did it annually. WAH! Such a nice guy! He said he would call me when I’m there to arrange where to meet. He also gave me his Celcom number as he said he would on his phone during that time in case I wanted to contact him. I also consulted him about how to make roaming calls in Singapore because I have totally no idea how even with some examples given in DiGi’s website.

Finally the day came, I reached Singapore and wanted to contact him but my auto roaming seemed not working. I was so worry that he won’t be able to contact me and I have no Internet access that time to e-mail him about it. However, the auto roaming did work at the end. I tried to call him to give him a surprise but it never got tru’ because it’s off. Oh well… I called everyday and couldn’t get hold of him. He’s missing in action. Don’t care! I’ll just have fun with Ann.

When I got back to Kuching after the 3 days 2 nights holiday in Singapore, I immediately e-mail him to ask him about it. No immediate reply of course, no MSN as usual because he’s not the kind that stucked to the computer like us 24/7 hahaha… He only onlined when he’s free. I couldn’t remember when he replied me. I think it’s in 2004. He was finally back in Singapore and was busy.

He told me he had totally forgotten about my trip to Singapore because he was pre-occupied with some investigations on the stupid act that his crews did while on the job and he was stranded in Taipei to assist the investigation as he’s the commander of the flight. He was promoted to captain not long ago and got into such shit that made him so stress out and totally forgotten about everything. The first officer and one of the cabin crews actually decided to join the mile high club while on duty! Horrible! The result… The co-pilot was demoted to fly shorter route and the air-stewardess was fired because they found out that she had engaged in some immoral activities that would jeapordize the airline’s image. So… What do you learn here? Hahaha… Don’t play play while you’re working!

My Future Husband Is…

Posted on By sweet surrender 18 Comments on My Future Husband Is…

OMG! I went to Ann’s blog this morning and was shocked to see THIS! She saw my future husband in her dream! OH MY! *LOL* I kept laughing after reading it. Here’s what she had posted in her blog:

I witnessed Irene (Sweet Surrender)’s wedding with Jee. Her husband (or husband to be) is someone I’ve never met before but his face is still swimming in my head – it was that clear. He wore a spectacle and looked the part of a businessman/office… guy, because he was always wearing button up shirt with tie, and black slacks. Handsome, quiet and a little shy (or maybe not shy, just the strong, silent type), he was always at Irene’s side while she happily went about planning the wedding. Short black hair… er… parting at 3/4. Fair, oval face… with a bit of a strong jaw. *LOL* OK, enough description.

Goodnees gracious! I really can’t help it but laugh laugh laugh. I’m still not feeling very well, still feeling sick but this post really make my day!

Ann… I think you think too much *LOL*

On the other hand, I think I should be looking out for a spectacled, handsome man! However, the handsome man I know didn’t wear a spectacle, his eyesight is still not that bad until he has to to wear one or maybe he has one now. HAHAHAHA… *AHEM* If you read this you know who you are. *BLEK* Businessman? Any chance he’s a busy businessman that has a jetsetting lifestyle? *LOL* Er… The 3/4 parting is a bit (-.-“) Hahaha…

Ermm… Guys… Anyone of you that suits the descriptions above? Mind to send me a resume or not?

Make sure you are handsome enough. You might want to consider getting rhinoplasty nose surgery hahaha… *Joking*

HAHAHA… I don’t think I’m thinking straight now, I’m still sick hahahaha…

No More Tomato Kueh Tiaw!

Posted on By sweet surrender 16 Comments on No More Tomato Kueh Tiaw!

Oh my… I’m sick. This time I’m really sick. My body is aching, my nose is stuffed, I kept sneezing and I feel heaty inside. Couldn’t finished my dinner and almost vomitted. I’m officially sick!

Yes! You got me right! No more tomato kueh tiaw at Cafe 2000, Pending. It’s no longer in operation since last week. This is one of the best tomato kueh tiaw, tomato mee and cha da(fried) bee hon in Kuching! No more… After years of eating them, I can safely said that it has more than 20 years of history and now it’s gone. I don’t think it will be back at all!

We were told that the owner of the stall had fleed. Fleed where? No idea… Heard that he owes the loan sharks a lot and they are now going after him! So? No more… I only eat the tomato mee and tomato kueh tiaw from here, I don’t order them at other places, they’re all not nice! I don’t think I’ll be eating any tomato mee or kueh tiaw anymore… Not that I always crave for them, I only eat when my parents bought them else I won’t be eating them.

Chapter 1: Hello Stranger

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Chapter 1: Hello Stranger

Somewhere in 2003, I was busy with in my studies online(I was doing e-learning for my degree) and suddenly a pop-up from my MSN asked me to approve the add to list request, I saw unfamiliar e-mail address and nickname, I did not simply give out my MSN even until now. So I thought this person might be someone that I had given my MSN before and he might be using other nickname when interacting with me in mIRC or ICQ. I just approved it and didn’t bother about it.

Next day, I on my MSN and saw this person online and decided to check out the identity. The following conversations aren’t the actual one but something similar:

Me: Hi… Do I know you?
He: I’m Kevin.
Me: Kevin who? I don’t think I know anyone by the name of Kevin.
He: I’m the pilot.
Me: Huh? *BLUR* Since when I got to know a pilot? Not even in my dream.
He: You don’t remember me?
Me: Ummm… Did I ever chat with you in mIRC or ICQ?
He: No. I don’t have those.
Me: Then where you got my MSN?
He: You gave it to me.
Me: *MORE BLUR* Hmmm… Where you’re from?
He: Singapore.
Me: Singapore?!?!? I don’t know anyone from Singapore.
He: You’re Irene right?
Me: Yeap…
He: How about you? Where you’re from?
Me: Kuching. How old are you?
He: 34 but I don’t look 34 hahaha… Kuching is my hometown, the last time I went back was 1997 before SIA ceased the direct SIN-KCH sector.
Me: Wah… The world is so small. You’re so old hahaha…
He: You?
Me: Only 21.
He: So young.
Me: Married?
He: No.
Me: How come? 😛 You’re a playboy?
He: No. I haven’t meet the right person.
Me: OooOoOoOoo…

(I can’t remember what else we chatted anymore at this point)

So we chatted and chatted and since I’m so suaku, I mean a PILOT! Com’on, how many of you can get to know a pilot if you are not in the airline industry or have friends who are pilots!?!? Normal people like us don’t get this chance everyday. Getting to know a pilot is really a big deal! *LOL* Being a very curious girl, I sure had a lot of questions to ask. Summore I wanted to be an air-stewardess before but hahaha… I’m too short. So I got to know a pilot of course I’m going to ask him all the things that I’m interested about working high up in the sky.

So… That’s how we got to know each other. We would chat and catch up with each other whenever we met online. Sometimes my curiousity made me e-mail him when he’s not online. I’m the girl that kept bombarding him with all the why, how, where, who, what… It was so funny as if he knew everything.

It’s getting more and more interesting and I noticed that I started to miss him when he wasn’t online for few days or weeks. Everytime I thougth of him, I’ll just sent him an e-mail with tonnes of questions and he would reply when he’s free or when we met online.
