Crossroads~

Aloha! I may have found the reason for the high percentage of obese people in the states. Everything here is so convenient! Food here is good too(supposedly unhealthy at the same time) , can't stop munching =( Back to topic, chores here are easier done. For example, they have drive-through services for many other buildings besides food outlets. The one in the picture below, is a bank! You can deposit checks or cash and stuff, or whatever thats done over the counters in banks WHILE laying your lazy butt in on the driver's seat!



I've been thinking a lot lately due to the death of a good friend. I thought of many major incidents, thought of many "what ifs" in my life. Incidents where I had to choose a path along the crossroad. What if I were to walk a different path? What if I were to grow up in a Chinese school? What if I were to mix with the wrong bunch of people? What if I were to go to another college or university? What if I were to stay in Malaysia during summer? Yeah, all these.


On the other hand, I also slipped in some time to think of incidents which are totally out of my control, occurrence of matters I had no choice but to accept. I imagined how things were to be if it didn't happen. It is quite entertaining to think of these, as I eventually fall asleep.


Whatsoever, throughout the past 4 years, I've already started living with no regrets. I accept whatever thats life brings me. Everything is balanced, there will be times of happiness and sadness. I always tell my emo friends, "If things were to be good all the time, it would be boring and you wouldn't have any stories to share! Bad things have to happen every once in a while alright?"

(Actually, I have to thank larry for always reminding me "life is like that wan lor") =)


Now, I don't care much when I approach another crossroad. Not like I don't think about where it may lead. Whether or not my choice was the best of all, its up to me to decide, because I make the best out of it. I believe hanging on to this belief had made me a much better person, and it filters out all the trash along my journey of life =P


Alright alright, I typed a lol too much to bore you guys now haven't I? Time to go sleep! Its 2am over here~ and one last thing, whoever thats in any form of dilemma now, if you can't decide, just flip a coin and let it guide you! Go for it ;D


Don't chicken out or you'll never progress at all~

A "RUN" to the beach~

For all the Sundays and Mondays so far, work hours were not that long. Like today I only worked for 3 hours. Then we went shopping (weekly routine) at Fred Meyers. Good thing about that place is that it has different sales all the time! Today I bought a leather wallet for only 15$! It was 30$ with a 50% discount, so it was cheap! Not to forget, it is of good quality ;D There were many other brands like Dockers and stuff. American brands are so much cheaper here as well! Imagine getting a Levi's jeans for less than 30-40$! Its gonna be a long shopping spree after work!

Awesome deal!


Later that evening, a bunch of friends and I went down to the beach. On the way there, Chris and I was kicking all the dandelions along the path. We regretted doing so. Why? After a while, I think we might have kicked a wrong spot and huge mosquitoes started swarming out of the bush, hovering all over us! Thats when we decided to make a run for it! we ran for probably 100-150 meters away LOL!


Hie, nice to meet you.. living beings..



As we reach, we started snapping pics here there everywhere. Then we tossed a frisbee to kill some time there. Oh guess what! Along the beach, there was a carcass of a shark LOL! Chris and Junino reached a bit later. Chris was the most striking thing on the beach, SERIOUSLY! He wore red from head to toe!

beautiful beach ;)

A few days ago, I was spending a lot of time thinking of all the imba frisbee moments that I could recall. From our first win at Connexion Tourney to Notts Hat League. I miss playing a game of ultimate pick up! Normal disc tossing doesn't seem to satisfy my desire for hardcore pumping adrenaline! Owh well, Until then, ciao!

MOOSE!

YES! I saw a moose! Yesterday, Colton, Denys and I went out of the plant and we decided to take the "nature trail". Then we heard some noise which Colton was certain it came from a moose. After looking around us, we spotted a moose and a calf! It was about 15 meters away, but man that mama moose was staring at us! We snapped a pic and hurried off, quite scary. Don't wanna get trampled over by some Alaskan animal yo!


Hah! Moose!


And of course, pics snapped during the adventure :P




And yes! At work, I got moved to an easier position~ Just to slice open salmon's stomach and thats it, so much easier to do! Catch is, there isn't much time to rest like before. Have to work non-stop!~ I've been getting a lot of hours too ;) until next time, bye!


More to come~

Yesterday I only had 1 hour of work time due to low amount of salmon~ I went out shopping at 3 different supermarkets LOL! Walmart, Fred Meyer and Three Bears lol! Thanks to Martin for driving us around~ We explored a few areas of Kenai ;D


Thanks! :D


Really a lot of nature around ~


After shopping, we went over to Martin's place, He has 3 huge dogs and a cute lil black pomeranian. That lil dog is very friendly! But when it concerns his lil squishy ball, he turns fierce! =P


You no take me ball!


His parents were really nice people, his mum cooks pretty tasty stuff too! Went there to chill a bit, then continued exploring places. Places like, Kenai River? ;P It looks much better than any sungai in Kajang, thats for sure hahaha!

Kenai River~


Sitting under the bridge~


Enjoyed the day exploring the town of Kenai~ Visited some interesting places. So far, I haven't seen any of the "unique animals" here yet! Have yet to see any moose or seals yet.. but I'll definitely share it with you guys when I do spot any ;P

BIG FISH small fish!

My job up til now(second day) involves cutting up the main artery of the salmon and remove its blood clot. Sounds disgusting doesn't it? But nah, ain't that bad. Fish there are fresh and doesn't stink! ;) I'm getting pretty good at it too~!



Up till now, 3 other people mentioned that I speak good English, bangga! :D People here are pretty nice. The lady that sells snacks is cute too. hehe. =P


Today's work was a bit more physically taxing as it was much colder. It drizzled pretty much the whole day today. Worked from 10am to around 10.45pm, now thats a lot of hard work alright! But Throughout today's tough job, I was smiling to myself most of the time. Thoughts of playing BIG FISH small fish with frisbee seniors keep flashing in my brain LOL! I'm missing those good times already! ;D
