Tagged Lagi...

Mase kena tag dan tengok soalan2 tu, terasa gloomy pulak.Mengusik jiwa. Sesetengah soalan2 bukan shj membongkar rahsia laura, tetapi juga secara tidak langsung membawa laura kembali ke zaman2 kejatuhan dan kegemilangan laura dulu. Wah! Wekeke...ye la..dah nak menjangkaui usia 31, imbasan2 memori mcm film strips main di kepala laura..one word to describe my life: bittersweet. But all these are part and parcel of life. We cant run away from the past but fully embrace it, then you can accept who and what you are. Path your future well and treasure your present ones. Anyway, I try lighten up my answers in cheers but mcm cover2 line pulak. I think u probably can tell...  

Kali Pertama ke Overseas...
The first time I had ever fly to overseas is Japan. Mase tu baru umur 17. Kira birthday present from my parents la. It was November 1994, I still can smell the the autumn in the air, bronzed like leaves falling from the trees. Ya, laura was still sweet and young. Wakaka...walaupun autumn, the degree was less than 10. Sejuk!!! Tapi sempat lagi makan ice-cream. Japan is a very clean and advance country. Bebudak lelaki kat situ mcm slamdunk! wah! Bebudak perempuan pulak sweet and cute. Konichiwa, arigota gozaimasu...hari-hari jumpa the Japanese, you cant help but be humble too...dia bow, ko pun bow..lama2 tu ko pun bow 90 degree dah! Ahaks..kidding..

Kali Pertama Duduk Berjauhan dari Keluarga...
Sy berjauhan dengan keluarga since 1996. Dapat sponsorship then study kat kl. Sepatutnye, lepas A-level fly ke UK. Then economy crisis 1997, semua yang dapat sponsorship and scholarship terkandas tak boleh fly. Mase tu, local U pun tak nak accept kita. Alasan?? A-level 3 subjects je, STPM/Matrikulasi kan 4 subjects and above. So tak qualified la. Then JPA dan Kerajaan Pusat forced institutions like Tenaga, Telekom dan Petronas diversified and invest in education. Semua yang buat American dan UK program masing-masing kena hantar ke instituition2 ni...so, in total i dah study 6 yrs for 2 years A-level, 1 yr foundation + 3 degree courses. I feel like study for all my life. wekekeke...In between I balik at least 2 to 3 times a year.

Anyway, lepas study tak balik ke kk, terus stay kat kl, ambitious la tu..nak jadi career woman katakan. Most of my other sabahan friends and acquaintances dah larik balik. Tak tahan kl lifestyle and culture walaupun bertahun2 lama di kl. Yup, nak stay kat kl mesti kebalkan 'baju' kalo tak, mmg byk peluru ko kena avoid..kena buat stunt mcm Matrix...Ahakz..

Then fall in love and kena heret ke altar perkahwenan..So, me and kl mmg rapat kaitannya. Looks like I am destine to stay in kl in the next few decades, bcoz it's already entering year 12 in kl. Now going back only once a year. I hope to double the number of times to go back to kk. My dad's health's is not that good. So, need to spend more time with him.

Teringin Sangat Melancong Ker...
Rome dan Greece. Bandar2 bersejarah dan tamadun manusia bermula. I especially nak visit Rome di mana bandar bersejarah Rome tenggelam dan sekarang di bawah tanah. Lalu lalang kereta kat atas bandar tu. Untuk Greece, sbb sejarah mitologi dan patung2 dia wah..mengasikkan...sculpture cantek sgt...hehehe i see in in artful way... Oh ya, before Rome and Greece, I nak ke New Zealand dulu. Nak buat bungee jumping.  

Favourite Accessories...
My necklace..Hehehe..I dun want to elaborate more..ko tengok sendiri...

Empat Perkataan yang Selalu Disebut...
Alamak, Aduh, Ok la tu, dan Haiya ( Style Cina..my hubby said time ni la kecinaan sy keluar...kungfu fighting dengan hubby katanye..)  

Kalau ada duit...
Aku nak jadi volunteer UNDP dan ikut trip yang  buat amal di serata dunia..teaching ke, buat kajian ke etc...and then nak set up non-profit career service center in a moving cabin..jelajah satu negara...that's one of my dreams..  


Tag orang lain..
Sori, malas la..and most of my frenz tak main blog...except one kot...Aha...got..jap..
1) My sister..elvina..Gotcha! So sis you read this, you have to do this ya..
2) Ija..one of my close friends who stay in France

Errr...nanti baru aku tambah...hehehe...that's all..

My Answer to Your Tagged

Aduh! I kena tagged. Dua kali. Bebudak SF dah chase aku jawab soalan-soalan tu. Wrong timing. Masa kena tagged tu, I am truely bz. So, hari ini i free sebab my lady boss on leave dan most of my kerja hampir selesai.So, my answers to the questions:

Nama Timang-timangan
Masa kecik2, one of my aunties like to call me Ah Ni. Yup. One of the word in my chinese name. Ahaks. Ye la, Laura Austin tu nama pena je..hehehehe. Among my close friends, whom are really the closest and known me for many years will call me Len. I tak pernah suruh and never introduce myself that way. It was name given by them.

Insan Teristimewa 

My hubby will kill me if I do not mention about him. Of course, he will always be my hubby yang tersayang. Hmmm.....put it this way la, my parents will always be in my heart. But I love my sister and brother the most. Sangat sayang mereka berdua. My brother is like my soulmate. Aik? Wakakaka. Yup. Whether I am sad or happy, I will call him first. When I am sad or moody, I will call him to sit in the Starbucks and puffing a way together with cafe latte.                         My beloved brother Jef and sister Elvina

Anda seorang yang....
Serious and strict. Hitam atau putih I make it clear cut. If I have already make up my mind, I will close the case put it behind my back and move on. You cry or beg, I don't care. So while I am still soft hearted, I am very flexible. Tapi kekadang I boleh jadi giler-giler kepala. Huh?? Ya. If I am stress free and happy, I like to mengusik by dropping implicit statements or hints. Either you get it or you totally in blur. So far, I dapat geng dah in SF. I am delighted orang faham apa yang saya cakap. I thought I am odd case. Wekekeke...Wah! Terlebih sudah.

Lagu Kesukaan
Panjang list ooooohhhh......kalo ikut genre rock n' roll, 70's rock and 80's rock. What???? Kak Laura berjiwa rock?? Ganasnye...hehehehe..yeah, I did thought of buying leather skirt or tight pants before. Hahahaha. Betttullllll. Tapi Sekarang tak mampu dan tak muat. So, forget it. Imagine-imagine sendiri je. Now I rase I am into alternative rock kot. Not sure la. Anything to do with guitar and drum, I seronok and excited.That's why I love and appreciate live band performance. So lagu-lagu yang saya akan blast kat kereta mini laura adalah seperti berikut (yang menjadi kemestian kalo lagu-lagu ini berkumandang kat radio):
Creed - My Scarifice
Deep Purple - Smoke onthe Water
Led Zepplin - Stariway to Heaven
Blondie - All I Wanna Do is to Makin' Love to You
Journey - Faithfully
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday and Elevation (My favourite band)
Estranged - Itu Kamu

Kalo dah masuk tahap feminist tu, Independent Women, Irreplaceable, Gotcha, Hit 'Em Up Style dan lain2

Makanan Kesukaan
Ini ikut restoran-restoran yang saya kunjung...Kalo masuk restoran Melayu, I mesti order telur bistik atau ayam masak kunyit. Chinese food, I giler Dim Sum. Western food pulak, fish and chips, lagna chicken, atau mash potatoes. Saya giler cheese, tu la mengembang dan expand sideway. Huhuhuh..Kalo kat coffee house, coffee is a must! Tiramisu atau cheese cake. My favourite coffee is Cafe Latte from Starbucks. Kalo duduk rumah, I am satisfied with telur masin, ikan bean hitam dan porridge I am very happy already. Kekadang makan telur dadar and ikan masin pun I am happy. Lapar la...near lunch time dah...

Sikap yang buat anda stress.... 
Taking advantage of me or situation at the expense of others. As I said just now, hitam atau putih I make it clear cut. Kalo I dapati anda mengambil kesempatan on me or orang yang saya sayang atau protect sangat, I am not afraid to shoot you down on the spot. Second character yang saya take boleh tahan ialah tak tahu respect . Semua ada kelemahan dan strengths masing-masing. So, tak perlu menghina atau look down on the others. You and I sama - manusia, and we are children of God, cuma kulit tak sama je.  

Tiga benda yang mesti ada dalam beg anda...
Actually, I got a lot of things in my beg. Hmmm....yang saya tak boleh lepaskan ya...kunci kereta, duit and notebook/pen. Handphone pun I boleh lepas..hehehe...if I want to shut myself out from the world, I can leave my hp. Janji boleh bawa kereta dan duit untuk makan dan isi tank kereta. Pasal Notebook and pen, aahh yang ni, memang habit laura..otak saya tak pernah rehat..kekadang duduk kat kopitiam saya dapat idea, so buku nota and pen essential sgt.

Kali akhir anda menangis...
This week. Bertengkar dengan hubby la tu. Terlalu independent, katanya. Or keras kepala. If I am determined, I tak berganjak. Tapi kalo dah malas, I betul-betul lepas semuanya. Walk out. Takde partner sepi, ada partner u kena tau jaga hati bf atau suami. So, either way, life is beautiful, depends on how you see it. So, satisfied??? Saya rasa ter-expose pulak, less that 5% kot. Anyway, Your comment please....
