My Type of Girl

-
picture taken from choiceshirts.com

During my one week Chinese New Year holiday back in Kuching I met a young lady that completely blew me away...
During the SMK Batu Lintang Old Buddies reunion party at Soho, I met my "lady-in-red" and when I first laid eyes on her, she was literally... all in silhouette...
and conincidently, her name rhymes with silhouette...

~~~~~
Imagine the balcony area of a happening club, the music, the lights, the people & suddenly there she was...
Like an angel hidden by darkness, sitting with a dim light behind her, her form in silhouette caught my eye...
Everything slowed down as I came to a great revelation...

I felt each Heartbeat... beat...
I felt a strange shyness & nervousness creep under my skin...
I'm only truly shy around someone I really like...

I noticed her hair as it flows like waves before they dissolve into a sandy beach...
Brown highlights...
Permed... Wavy... Long...
the Perfect shape...
just the way I like it...

Then came the one-two punch...
Along with her beautiful hair...
she also had a beautiful smile...
I was going down with a KO...

As she smiled...
Her eyes shone...
they were as bright as the stars in the sky... like precious diamonds on a crown...
Her lips, oh how they curved so perfectly... oooooozing with sweetness... I was practically drowning...
Her cheeks lifted... Her face shone...
Shining through the darkness, her smile took my breath away...

She probrably caught me adoring her because she looked back...
and she smiled even more...
I couldnt help but smile back...
Glad to have her acknowledge my presence...

I have met many women in my life & some of them are glamourous, some hot, some sexy, some rich, some horny & etc... They are all unique & special in their own way...
But nothing penerates the defences of my heart like hair that flows with the oceans, eyes that twinkle in the moonlight & a smile that sweetens up everything around it...
I truly have found my type of girl...

~~~~~
At the very very last moment, on the very last night of my stay in Kuching, just as she was walking out the door of the club that we cooincidentally met again after meeting for the first time the night before, I finally plucked up enough courage to walk up to her, wisper into her ears infront of her friends an invitation to a cup of coffee some time... (Consider the risks... we were complete strangers! I dont even know if she got a boyfriend! Furthermore, I was unbelievably shy, it wasnt easy for me to even talk to her)
She smiled & said she'd have to think about it, but she gave me her number & we exchanged sms-es for the rest of the night & the morning of the next day...
She said yes to coffee at 3pm the next day which was also the day that I had to be at the airport at 7.30pm.
Later I found out that she took so long to say yes because she was asking for permission from her parents first...
What a good daughter!!

I picked her up from her very comfortable home & headed to Starbucks, at The Spring shopping contre, for coffee. Starbucks was full so we decided to take our coffee away with us as we explored the newly opened shopping centre...

The more I taked to her, the more I realised that we have a lot in common & i do mean A LOT!
For example, we both 23 this year. (of course, I am privilaged to be younger.)
We Chinese but our Mandrin is not very good.
We shy about our Chinese names.
We are the eldest of 6 children in our respective families.
Both our parents have 3 boys & 3 girls.
Both our parents began with a humble life but worked hard for the wealth they have today.
We love to read books.
We studied in Wellington.
We love the yam char in Regal Chinese Restaurant, Wellington.
We both like short hair. (I do hope she'll keep her current hair style.)
We like Starbucks Java Chip Frappe.
We are both single.
But we are not looking for any serious relationships at the moment.

There was a connection...
I dont know what she thinks, but I do feel a good chemistry going on between us...
You can talk to someone for a while & feel all exhausted in the end...
But when I talk to her, time passes by so fast & before you know it, I have to send her home & rush on home...
I really really like talking to her...
Am starting to "like" her as well...

~~~~~
Just like in a shakespearian play...
Where there is a miracle, there is a trajedy...
Perfection is followed by imperfection...
My type of girl is seperated from me once again...
By distance.

I leave for KL today.
She leaves to study in Dunedin, NZ, 2 days after.
I dont even know if she'll be back...

Now I arrive in KL dejected...
In the 3 times in my life I found someone I really like & feel a connection with, physical distance seperates us.
In 2 of the 3 times, I initiated a serious relationship...
In 2 out of 2 relationships, the distance was too much...
I'm not going to make the same mistake again...
I'll let her go...
I think she deserves better than what I have to give.

~~~~~
Heavenly Father, I yearn to be free from this curse.
But I know you have a plan to prosper me.
I will take up my cross & I will learn from this...
I know I will be a better person because of this...
I know that one day when the circumstance is right, I will appreciate my woman more because of the moulding pain I went through in previous relationships...

I shall be patient & know you are God.

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

After finally putting my kid to sleep, I was about to settle into the couch with my wife & stream a movie, when my Unifi fiber optic internet connection suddenly dropped. When it didn't come back after 1 hour, I realized that I had to do something. Considering that I pay my bills promptly every month, it must be a technical issue. Here's what I did to fix the problem. It look me less than 20 minutes. 1. First, I checked my modem (the white machine). I checked the lights on the modem. When the modem is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, PON, LAN1 & TEL1. If the red light for LOS lights up, call 100 to resolve the issue. Also, I made sure that all the wire connections were tight. 2. Next, I checked my router (the black machine). Again, I checked the lights. When the router is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, GLOBE, WIFI, LAN1. My POWER light was blinking, so that means that there was no internet connection. Again, I made sure th

Understanding The New SPM (2021) English 1119 Paper Format

-
Image
This outline & those of other SPM language papers were made publicly available on the Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia (LPM) website . I'm sure you've seen the above being circulated on the internet. But, what does it mean? How does this paper compare to the current SPM paper for English? Do we have to change our testing practices in Form 4? At this moment, information is sparse despite great public interest. As the head of the English panel at my school, my Form 4 colleagues will come to me for what to do & parents will ask me what this is about. Until we have very specific instructions from the ministry, this is what I will be telling my colleagues & parents based on the limited amount of information available to me from my intimate experience with the current SPM paper & second-hand information about the PT3 English paper. Let me know if I got anything wrong or if you have more detailed information.

How To Fix Logitech Options Not Loading

-
Image
I use a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard at home & love it to bits. Very quiet & the tactile response is just perfect. Also, it's super small so easy to put away when I need to pile exam papers on my desk. Still, there's one small problem though... It is a compact keyboard so the multimedia buttons double as function keys. I use the function keys A LOT & it's really cumbersome for me to have to hold the "fn" button every time I want to use them. I.e., try pressing alt+fn+f4 with one hand. Thankfully, with the Logitech Options software, I can default to the function keys. A few months ago, I was chagrined to learn that my keyboard had spontaneously returned to factory settings. "No problem", I thought. "I'll just change the settings in Logitech Options." Only to find that the app wouldn't load on my Windows 10 machine, resulting in the blank window you see screen-captured above. "Let me try reinstalling." Uni

A Review of Mosquito Coils In The Market

-
Image
Mosquito coils = The first line of defence against savage jungle mosquitoes. Remember when there was completely no electricity at my school ? It happened during the dry season so the nights were really really warm & hard to sleep with the windows closed. Why close the windows you ask? Because if you don't close the windows, the savages from the jungle will climb in & suck your blood! Literally! I'm talking about swarms of mosquitoes gang-banging your skin & leaving you with clusters of chickenpox-like bumps on your skin in the morning! These guys even bite through clothing!! The itchiness that ensues will practically ensure that you never have a good night sleep. In order to keep those monsters at bay, I had to go really low-tech. I eventually experimented with mosquito coils. There are so many in the market & I thought that all of them worked the same since they had the same basic ingredients. I was wrong. They had different effects on the mosquitoes &am

Exotic Fruit: Buah Isu

-
Image
I've been teaching in the Iban motherland for more than 1 year now & I have tasted many exotic fruits exclusively available only within these quiet secluded timber forests. Now, don't you smirk at me! You perverted baskets I call friends are thinking about a different 'fruit'! There are no innuendos here. The exotic fruits that I'm talking about are REAL fruits. First, let me introduce you to the cousin of the king of fruits... Buah Isu Buah Isu resembles it's cousin, the Durian , but I was told that it is NOT in the Durian family. The spikes are longer & they are sharper. They are also very much smaller than the Durians. It's about the size of a man's palm. It has a pleasantly sweet fragrance which is not pungent like the Durian's. Because of it's size, it is easily opened with a cleaver. After opening my first Isu, I couldn't help but bounce off the walls in gay laughter. It was all too amusing to me! I though
