Travel In Life - Leaving Malaysia, Moving To Qatar

Year 2013 is coming soon. In just a week I am moving to Qatar. I am feeling nervous. I will leave my life in Malaysia. I need to start a new one in middle east. Did I make a right decision?

Few times I wanted to scribble some thought inside here, but time constraint just drifted me away from my beloved blog.
So many things happened in a year.
So much laughter and sadness come and go in 12 months.
Another level of maturity was developed within 365 days.

Yet, here am I.
Still the one and only Alvy.
Still holding on to the essence of myself, the basic me.
Still wanting to maintain me as I am.

A year has passed and I am moving to another place, another country to follow another dream and journey of the unexpected future ahead.

As this is life.
As this is an adventure.
As this world is full of surprises.
I just wanted to be a part of it.
Wanted to believe that my life is more exciting than just the normal daily routines in my home country.

Will I be a successful architect in Doha, Qatar?
A big transition in life.
A huge adaptation of new culture and living.
A tremendous hope of surviving this path that I chose.
A gigantic happiness and sorrow all together filling each of my day.

I need a huge career progression. I never want to be just another person in Malaysia who works and live surviving from month to month basis. I need more money. I need to travel. I hope I made the right decision.

May Allah bless me and protect me all the time. Amin.

Travel In Life - My Birthday 4th February 2012

My Freaking F***ing Good Tasty Gorgeous Baskin Robbins Cake! Best!


I went to Bangkok on my Birthday this year and celebrate with some of my other friends. There were 22 of us. Well I can say that although I enjoyed the fun chaotic and madness caused by 22 persons on my birthday, but a simple yet warmth celebration afterwards when I came back to Malaysia with my close buddies had nevertheless leave a strong remark and sentimental value to my heart.

People always said, when you found an amazing best friend, you keep this person close to your heart. Well I found five amazing beautiful people and the six of us just naturally connect in every single fun and plan. I am so thankful to my five buddies who planned this Birthday celebration for me. Sometimes a close friend’s ceremony can be more meaningful than a feast with hundreds of people around and cheering for you.


Thank you so much Zack, Cam, Reza, Farah and Ella for this thoughtful party. I am touched. As we grow older, we will learn to know that we can make friends with thousands of people, but at the end of the day we will only keep the ones who are close to our heart. We are not getting younger. I have known a lot of people who have so many friends, but inside their heart are empty. Thanks also to Muhi, Anna, Keyrin and Yus. These are the people that I feel very comfortable to hangout with too. Not forgetting Dayat and Ella's brother too.




I love all my presents and gifts! Especially my BASKIN ROBBINS TUXEDO ice cream cake...! ;)

Travel In Life - Stress. I Need More Travel

29th February.
Hmmphh as this is a very special date, very rare, once every 4 years, I chose to scribble something in my blog...

As my working life is completely pushing me to the core at the moment, I have no time for anything personal in my life...Busy busy busy...Yeahhhh it is kinda cliché when you hear someone said I am so f***** busy with work until I have no time for anything else. You may even laugh inside yourself quietly looking at this person and began to wonder how he or she ended up becoming such workaholic. I guess now I am laughing at myself everytime when I look in the mirror. Cause I promised to myself that I will never become like my dad. He was so stressed with his job until he had a stroke attacked and paralyzed until now for already so many years. Tears. Sob. ;'(

Especially the new project that I am handling now really stressed me out from day to day...make me becoming more like a sad person...killing the joy of a Landscape Architect’s life...making me feel like I wanted to quit my job...


Suddenly I missed the life I had when I was working with Sales & Marketing for 8 years. I had reached a salary number around 5-6K per month. I can work for 3 months and saved around 12K. At least the stresses I faced were worth! Now?? Now look at me and my misery life. Drama. Yes. I am feeling so emotional now.

When your working life is stressful, everything around you turned to falls apart. You had more quarreled with people surrounding you, your boss scolded you more as he is also stressed and expecting more from you, you always feel pressure doing your task instead of excitement.

The worst part is? The feeling you got when you wake up in the morning and refused to go to work.

I am lack of saving now for travel, but I need to travel so bad.

DAMN.
