burning the midnight oil?

i know i should be sleeping by now
i reminded myself twice to sleep before 1am.. and then changed to 1.30am
but it's already 1.36am right now
i should perhaps be preparing for my interview tomorrow (or today) at least if not sleeping
but after a few failed attempts to do some research on the net.. here i am.. :)


my honeymoon was awesome.. 
krabi was the rightest choice of destination
1) the flight merely took 1.15 hours so less time wasted on the plane
2) aonang is a muslim city in krabi so halal food is sooo very the easy to find
3) currency is more or less similar to malaysia so we were able to keep within the budget
4 days are definitely not enough.. 


we were only able to go for a 4-islands trip
my digicam was not being good to us as it went kaput when we were arriving at the 3rd island
so we had to rely on my husband 2mp hand phone camera 
and the weather was not either
we were approaching the 4th island when the rain started to fall down
imagine what comes with heavy rain if you are surrounded by i-don't-know-how-metres-deep water
a rough sea.. yes..
we were in the middle of the andaman sea when it was raining cats and dogs
not being able to even float myself apetah lagi swimming and the fact that we were riding on a long tail boat definitely not helping
i just couldn't stop praying that if Allah were to take my life that day, i was seriously hoping that my life would not end in a boat full of half-naked mat and minah salleh.. huhu
and Alhamdulillah, despite being hit a few times by a very strong wave we managed to reach the shore safely
so, our plan to go on another island-hopping trip the following day was cancelled
if that is what we have to go through once again, i would rather miss the beautiful white-sands beaches than risking my precious life.. :)


we are planning to go to ha long bay, vietnam for our next trip
but i don't know when it will be materialized
since i am not working at the moment so money is a bit of a problem
wish i could secure myself a good job soon
and by a good job i mean a lecturing job
i have no heart to be an engineer anymore, seriously
i failed a few interviews with good companies because i was not able to convince them why i want to be an engineer and when asked.. do you mind working long hours?
because i do mind actually
i want to have a baby soon and i want to lead a normal life
i want to be a good mother to my kids 
and spending more time at the office will not help
not that i am saying being a lecturer is an easy job
of course it is not.. especially when it comes to the researches
but at least the working hour is more flexible
and that's why i am really hoping i can nail the interview tomorrow because it is for a lecturer post
and that's why i need to stop writing now because i need to sleep and i need to be fresh tomorrow
so, good night people!
