Preparation & Packing Stage 091125

Woke up approximately around 10 AM only to realize that I am not feeling quite well (flu, sorethroat & a little bit of cough). This is not a good sign for my 5K Thailand Trip 2009 that will be starting tomorrow.

After resting for a bit, I wash up and decided to do what I needed to do before I start my journey.

1100 – 1200 hr – Have a relaxing brunch (chicken rice) while choosing some pictures that I want to develop before starting my journey.
1200 – 1230 hr – Send the pictures for developing and get my car tyres checked!
1230 – 130 hr – Send my car for a wash, vacuum and waxing.

BEFORE (look at how dirty this baby is after traveling on a return trip of KL-Kelantan)





Washing Period (Covered with SNOW!!!)



AFTER (JENG JENG JENG!!! So Hensem)





1330 – 1400 hr – Get a haircut because my hair is kinda long now (he last time I got my haircut was 7 Oct 2009). Need to long nice during the journey and I don’t think I should have a slot to cut hair in Thailand.

The details of my 5K Thailand Trip 2009 are as following:-

Vehicle: Toyota Vios (Black) 1.5 S

Accommodation: Planning to sleep & shower in the car, by the petrol stations and will be staying in hotel some days. It all depends on situation.

Weapons / Equipment:

Nikon D50 (borrowed from my brother) , Red Dell 1555 Notebook and the following:-

Ahboochak Journey 2009

Hola everyone,

Finally, I've decided to make a return after a very hectic timetable. Since this blog started (January 2009) until now (November 2009), I've changed from a blue collar employed staff to a man who own 2 business. 2009 is definitely one of the biggest life changing year in my life.

Anyway, my current post and upcoming post would be focusing on my upcoming 5,000 KM trip in Thailand. If I were to add-up with my previous trip return trip KL-Kelantan on 20/11/2009 and today, 24/11/2009. I've travelled almost 1,000 KM (420+ KM is the travelling distant between KL-Kelantan).

My planned Thailand Trip is as following:-

25/11/2009 : Depart from Kelantan to Pattalung
26/11/2009 : Depart from Pattalung to Chumporn
27/11/2009 : Depart from Chumporn to Bangkok
28 to 30/11/2009 : Will be in Bangkok
01/12/2009 : Depart from Bangkok to Sukhothai
02/12/2009 : Depart from Sukhothai to Chiangmai
03 to 06/12/2009 : Will be in Chiangmai
07/12/2009 : Depart from Chiangmai to Tak
08/12/2009 : Depart from Tak to Nakon Sawan
09/12/2009 : Depart from Nakon Sawan to Suratthani
10/12/2009 : Depart from Suratthani back to Kelantan

I am suppose to drive back from KL to Kelantan yesterday, 23/11/2009. Anyhow, due to the flood issue with water level above danger reading in Kuala Krai, I've decided to postpone my trip back to Kelantan to 24/11/2009. Hence, it sort of effected my Thailand Trip schedule and I have to move forward the departure date from 26/11/2009 instead of 25/11/2009 (needed 1 day to get everything prepared).

This would be all for today and will keep you guys posted about my trip.

P/S: The trip is ON except the road to Thailand is badly flooded.

This is what happen when someone creative got too much time in hand.

Marriage ♥♥♥

One of my friend tagged me name in this article on facebook and I find it very touching. Hence, I've decided to share it with all of you :)

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions... She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Ahboochak's Life-Update ♥♥♥

If you read my earlier post (Refer to: Ahboochak Journey V2. ♥), you should know that I'm no longer station in KL. March 09 has been a really busy month for me. Travelling up-down KL-Kelantan-Penang-Kelantan is kinda exhausting but it is all worthwhile. My business is going as planned. In fact, it was much better than what I expected.

I am sure some of you are wondering what I am doing at the current moment right?

I just registered a web design + PR company called Vinspire Innovation last september and I have few inquiries from Kelantan. Hence, I have to be here in Kelantan to make sure that the deals work out. I've just completed a project for one of my client, you can take a look at www.spicedivers.net for more info.

Currently Vinspire Innovation progress / works & activities are as following:-

• 3 on-going projects
• Submitted 5 quotations on March 09 and 2 quotations this April 09
• I'm expecting to get another 3 to 4 more projects this month
  

So, yeah ... I think its not bad for a newly registered company right? Anyway, if you could do website like www.spicediver.net, email me at Joey@vinspire.net. I am currently looking to outsource some of my projects :)

2. I am also working on an e-commerce website of my own right now. Scheduled to launch it on May 09. Will announce it on my blog once the site is completed alrite? :)

3. I am currently working on a business proposal. I'm sorta 90% confirm to be the person who manage this project / business. Anyhow, I still need to go through the procedure by presenting the business proposal to my sponsor's board of director. The date of this proposal is on 24 April 2009. Help me pray that I got it alright? :)

So, basically I am like doing 3 jobs in 1 go huh? :P If the 3rd business project is approved, my this business is expected to open shop this August 09 :) Typing all these out makes me feel that I am doing quite a lot of things in 1 go and it is definitely a lot of thing to manage for a soon-to-turn 27 guy. Oh well, Have to work hard while we can rite? :)

Finally, here come my May 09 travel timetable / schedule:-

Hmm ... Another busy month ahead. What to do, wanna earn a living right?

*Sigh* How I wish I could get some TLC from Miss C ♥

She is my Cryptonite -♥♥♥

Hola ! I'm bloggin' today ! :P Been MIA from blog for a while coz I'm so da' occupied with work.

Anyway, to be frank wif all-of-ya, the reason am blogging today was because I'm now chatting back with Miss C :) After I gave her the X'Mas gift (Refer to: At least I've tried ♥♥♥), we didn't really talk ... well, I sms here, tarak reply. I msg her on MSN, also tarak reply, heh :P

For those who know me personally, I'm sure all of you know that am a guy who has control over myself but you know what? am still nervous whenever I chat with Miss C on MSN :(

If I were to distribe mahself & Miss C then it would be that "I am superman and she is my cryptonite" (I know it is spelled as Kryptonite, need not correct me. I purposely spell it this way)

*Sigh* It's been a while since am "love sick" like this and being a practical kinda guy like me, I think this is like the 1st time in my life that I actually make up my mind to wait for a girl who might not even give me a chance to get to know her better. I've been waiting for more than 100 days now (counting from the day I told her how I feel). Time flies huh? That also mean that I did not see her for more than 100 days d.

My feeling to her right now is like kena AIDS like that, once infected, there isn't any cure (except miracle happen, where-by she gave me a chance)

Thats all for now.

With Love,
Ahboochak ♥
