What Is There To Say Today

Let's see.


Work was fulfilling. Relatively productive day. Productive days go by quickly. I like. 


This is playing on the radio now! And it's drizzling outside, how apt! Everyday it will rain rain rain...

Hm. I managed to play with my phone settings and today I managed to survive the entire day with my battery at 50% balance when I got home.

Another awesome song... Laura Story - Blessings

Well done you! =))

It's Not Competition; It's Compatibility

If I don't tell or don't say, it's not because I wanna hide something or because you are not important. It most likely is because I don't know how to tell you. 

More accurately so, at least 90% of the time it's because I don't know how to. The other 10% is probably really because that 10% don't deserve to know and frankly speaking, in every ten humans I know, there would be one whom I feel is irrelevant. And majority of you reading this, are NOT the 10%!

So really, if you one day find out something that I did not or have not or have yet to tell you, please do not be upset with me. 

Can?

An Appreciation For Pretty Things

Pretty people included.

I probably won't be going online tonight. Ever since smartphone became a part of my life, lappie has taken a back seat. Probably also due to the single fact that there's nothing to look forward to going online now. =/

I'll be home late tonight anyway. Halloween Night in school, "chaperoning" activities. -_-

Speaking of smartphone, my phone has proven to be a tad too smart for me lah. I woke up late 3 days in a row because I failed to set my alarm accordingly. Pretty dumb.

The video itself is pretty. I like the whole snow, elaborate dresses, jewellery, mysterious, dove combination. But see, the thing about pretty girls like those in the video is that they put the standard so high and make the rest of us look... I don't even know the word for it. But they really do look pretty, even I can't help watching the video every time I need to refresh my eyes!

Okay, back to work.

TGIF; have nice weekend everyone! =)

Dinner with the uni mates yesterday all the way in Tanjung Sepat. Rainy weather. But it was so good. I miss my friends. I really do love them all very very very much.

New phone btw! White Samsung Galaxy SII. =))

An Interesting State

I am not nomish peckish today, Ivy says it's because I am not stressed. But I don't know. I don't think I am stressed either but, it's just interesting because I don't feel like I am fully functioning either.

Hm. How strange.

Anyways. Like I said, I am not functioning at optimum so I am taking some time off pretending to be working to actually write this.

This morning, I left home 2 minutes later from my usual and the bus literally zoomed past me. Without even slowing down. And the best part of this whole thing was that I was actually up way earlier today. The intention was to wake up early, repark the car, and go jog, which I didn't succeed in doing in the end. Boo to the hoo.

Anyway, I was 10 minutes late to the office but all's good. Even better was Ivy gave me her pink Daisy! Apparently Maybank was giving out free daisies in conjunction with the breast cancer awareness month. I don't know how giving out pink Daisies on the streets will contribute to the campaign but I am definitely not complaining. =)

Tonight's a tricky situation right. It's Kevin Saw's birthday with friends and Apple is in town and I while I really want to be at both places with both parties, I obviously can't. Sigh. I hope that my friends know that no matter what I do, I really do love them all very very much.

I think I know what's the problem.

The Punjabi suit that Betty bought for me is really uncomfortable. =(

I Guess It Is Kinda True

Nothing really does lasts forever. And it's kinda scary. But that's life. Sorta kinda.

My brain's kinda exhausted, from over-thinking the unnecessary again probably.

I've always thought we could be friends. But I guess that doesn't seem like the case. Fine by me to be honest. I just really hope that this won't always be the case.

People should just fear less, live more.

Hate less, love more.

Forgive and forget.

Anyways. A little too tired to recap the happenings of today, not that there was much going on.

Bought new pumps! Yay me.. Missed coffee, which I was actually kinda looking forward to.

A good question: Why do you keep in contact? And the answer: "I'll keep the ones who keep me close". So apt, not my own words but I quote and share the exact sentiment.

"I'll keep the ones who keep me close".

BOO

Just for you lah!

Happiness Combo

I just had Jap buffet with the rest of the family at the old PanPac in town, it was yummyness! The only thing they didn't have which would have made me super happy was the lack of Green Tea ice cream.

And the uncle was really sweet today. He said I became skinnier since we last met which was at dimsum before KT.

I think it has everything to do with good angles, lighting and whatnot because there is no freaking way that I have lost any weight since.

But a compliment is still a compliment lah at the end of the day so I am one happy girl!

The whole of today has been about food now that I think about it. Dimsum for bf with Chai, mani and pedi before IKEA meatballs lunch with Mommy, and then it was some shopping... Bought some random statement tees again, told you it's a love hate relationship I have with those tees, and then I bought myself a pair of sandals too, ah, super love! And then it was dinner lah...

I wanna go have some Earl Grey now and potentially read a book before bed.

Long exciting day tomorrow with the little brother who no longer seems so little anymore. <3

I Finally Found It

I have been hearing this on the radio so often lately and I've been trying to find the title to it but was never successful until this morning that is! So happy!

Tear Us Apart - Nadhira Feat. Ron E Jones

From the first time we met each other
I knew that we'd be together
I saw in your eyes
It's just a matter of time

Don't know if this feels like the real thing
Tell me what to do where do I begin
Don't know where to start
Should I let you in my heart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Girl you know that now we're together
I won't leave your side forever
You know that i'm yours
Baby, you're my only girl in the world

Now I have no reason to be alone
Fell in love with you
You are now my home
I'll always be true
I see no one else but you

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

And she's Malaysian lah (I think), but her hair is really weird!

OK Is The Word

Feelings of being incompetent kills me. Very much.

As it is, I am a little stressed up, tensed. So I am taking a breather, though I have a huge workload waiting to be done.

I hope I'll be alright.

I know I will be though, just somehow. *exhales*

4 Minutes To Midnight

I finally had my Green Tea Latte, yay!

And stop staring at me, you're making me feel strange.

Casual Friday tomorrow, and not to forget, TGIF!

I really need to sort some stuff out.

Defining casual Friday's is definitely one of them.

Which Came First? The Egg or the Chicken?

I know it's an old riddle but I am not asking for the answer, not today, not in this case.

Just that this is the exact feeling I am having right now. I have thoughts that I want to share but I can't think of the proper sequence to begin with. So this may very well be a very messy entry.

You be the judge at the end of it.

So anyway. Hmm, I shall start with, yes..

I got my HELP Staff Parking Tag today! Now all I need is a car to drive to and fro work. Which reminds me of the research that I have yet to do.

So because of my non-existent car, I sometimes take the bus home which I actually enjoy because I get to be alone and well, be alone for a bit. And walks can be pretty refreshing, when it is not scorching hot. I have this weird issue with buses though. Skip the whole next paragraph if you wanna spare yourself from some bus story.

Like, when it is packed like sardines in the bus, and passengers who are stuck somewhere in the middle needs to get off. Just how does that work? By the time they squeeze their way through the exit, the bus driver would have driven off already! And then you'd think, if you need to get off at the next station, you should start making your way to the exit before you reach your station. Right? But, the bus is so packed that you simply can't move.  Then you'd think, just stand near the exit when you board the bus in the first place, right? But you can't! Because you have to move in in order for other passengers to get on the bus.

See! Valid arguments no? Can someone please provide me with some insights on how to take a bus that's 110% packed to its brim and get off at your stop without having to scream "Excuse me" at the top of your lungs.

And done with bus story. So I was saying, I took the bus home from work and because the bus doesn't stop right outside my house, I have a fair bit of walking to do, say, 5 minutes worth? As I got off the bus today, I realized it was drizzling. Awesome, I thought to myself, chance to use my new pink umbrella!

So I took out my pink umbrella and started my slow walk back home. And as I was walking, obviously I started to think about things, which I can't remember every one of them now.

Of what I remember though...

Dinner with the girlfriends is being pushed back by an hour because we all have priorities, and at least for now, work is priority for most. As my mind was lingering around the idea of dinner, I realized how much I have been spending on dinner since I got back. Dinner on Sunday, dinner on Monday, dinner and drinks on Tues (technically dinner was paid for, so I paid for drinks), dinner tonight, dinner tomorrow probably drinks again... *exhales*

I need to work on my spending too. Have yet to get around to jotting down though I have meant to do so eons ago.

I opened mom's fridge and saw that she had Mango Lassi! So I stole some.

Also, my room, well my closet mainly, is in one huge freaking mess because I haven't had the time to sort out my clothes. It was messy already before I left KT and my laundry incident didn't help either. As I was walking home just now, I was telling myself, "Great, since dinner is pushed back, I should go clean up so that when Ivy comes to stay over tonight she won't have to see my mess."

But obviously, I have yet to get around to packing because here I am, talking to myself, on my blog.

Okay, bye, got to go feed Doggie, pack up my mess and potentially paint my toe nails if there's more time to spare before dinner.

Bye, for now!

Really Need To Control My Nom Nom Habits

I nom, and nomed, and nom, and nomed and nom the whole entire day.

What was supposed to be bf was pre-bf snack, what was for lunch became between-bf-and-lunch snack and lunch was totally unplanned but I ate lunch anyway and then there was lots of snacking in between then till now. And I've got dinner tonight too. =/

Bloat. Bloating. Bloated. The next level will be *kaboom* Explosion!

Why is nom nom noming so bad!

Next Chapter

1. I tripped TWICE today, once in the morning and another time when I was buying lunch.
   
2. I trimmed my bangs and had dinner with Mandy.
   
3. I need to go get groceries. But mommy is not home till Wednesday!
   
4. Kakak is sick, so she didn't do my laundry today, which meant I had to do it on my own otherwise my dirty clothes would start to get moldy. And then now I realize I don't have enough hangers. -__- Why didn't I just send them to the dobi. Too smart.
   
5. I lost one side of my favorite pair of earring today! I always lose one side of all my favorite pairs of earrings. Damn sad. 

Okay anyway, this is just a real quick one, got lots of things to follow up on before I crash tonight.

Bye Bye KT

The wind is blowing damn strong now, it's damn nice. Like really damn nice. I wish I didn't have to go home yet.

Since it's the last day, I made it a point to end with a PhotoLog entry.

Day 13

I learnt a couple of things this time round, some are not new stuff but definitely lessons worth reinforcing.

I'd say, I had a good 13 days here and I am happy. =))

Mean Machines

So the whole qualifiers has officially ended.  Phew!

Mean machines was referring to the sailors who seem to never run out of strength. Amazing lah. Sailing the F36 is suicidal for me as it is, even in light airs, but watching the guys do it, I really wonder what they run on.

Okay, work now. Grrr.

Lost In Translation

Day 10.5 & 11.

Absolutely Speechless

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

But in a good way. Day 10.

No water in the whole entire block, how crappy is that. I hope they fix it soon.

Wants to go shopping!

Day 9

As you can see sense, I am getting a little lazy here.

My eyes are really dry. Think my contacts can and probably will fall out anytime...

Wind's pretty good and it's not that hot today which is enjoyable.

One more day to making it a big one zero.

Don't feel like going home yet... Nooooooo!

Day 8

5 more days to go. Wow, it's been a week! That's fast.

I just finished watching The Smurfs. It's cute but, probably a little overrated. The happy smurf theme song is stuck in my head though.

Reminds me of Smurfy, the real life one, who owes me brownie still!

Hmmmm.

Now, we shall proceed with Lie To Me.

Going Off The Radar

Day 7

So I officially missed a day of my PhotoLog. I'm sorry.

Day 7, last day of familiar faces. And it's Yao's birthday, we had pizza last night. I hope they do well today.

I really don't want it to rain, but it's been so hot the past couple of days. Rain, don't rain, rain don't rain, think I'll still go with no rain.

The other thing is, my love-hate relationships with statement tees. I have quite a bit of statement tees, and majority of them were given to me as presents.. I have one that says: "I am not paid enough to be nice to you" - Dad says it's bad and told me not to wear it. I have another one that says: "Little Miss Bad" - This one I really like, but then, people have a lot to say everytime I wear it so I stopped wearing it. One last one, "I am still free, take a chance on me" - I thought this was an OK shirt to wear but apparently it sends out weird unwanted messages so, this is another no go shirt.

Hmmm, don't rain please! Have a nice start to the week everyone! xx

I Really Like This Song

Looks like a nice day (weather wise) from the office. I've got my hoodie on, the aircond is coldddd. :D

Long day for the sailors, I hope it doesn't rain though, makes my job a little more tricky. Apart from that, think we're all set for the day. Kinda.

Khong Shing just passed me The Smurfs! :D 

Think that's gonna be the plan for tonight.

I Managed To Sneak This In While Everyone Else Is In The Press Conference Upstairs

Day 5

I think I am a little jaded. It was hot, and then it was about to rain, and then it became hot all over again.

And the wind was just playing tricks on us the whole entire day. Think I am officially 2 shades darker today than I was yesterday.

And I kept thinking we did only two flights today when we actually did 3. So odd.

Boo. It's still a good day nonetheless! =)

Note to self: Drink more water.

Day 5 And Counting

Hmmmmmmm.

Is precisely what I am feeling at this moment. It's not quite joy nor sadness, anger nor frustration. Just hmmm. I would have used MEH but some people called me a sheep when I last used it.

Also, apparently, a lot of people have no clue whatsoever when I use the terms 'hmmm' and 'mhmmm' which by far are words that I use super a lot when chatting online. So just to clarify it once and for all...

hmmm = I am thinking
mhmm = I am agreeing

It's Saturday and I am working. But I am not complaining. Haha, that's new isn't it!?

I am thinking there probably won't be consistent PhotoLog's from now on because while I love the people I work with and share this office space with, smiling myself silly trying to take a photo on my computer doesn't seem like something that would give people a very normal impression of myself.

Ha!

I also came to some realizations last night. Putting them down in point form for easy reading.

1. I am a firm believer of never stop learning but it seems like I have stopped learning myself. I sit on the start boat everyday, watching how people maneuver in their starts and stuff but I never learn a thing!
   
   How I realized this was when I came back yesterday and Mike (umpire) who sits next to me in the office asked me, So what did you learn today?
   
   And I simply couldn't answer his question. =(
   
   
2. At dinner, I was sitting with the rest of the race comm, who are all obviously ang moh's. I realized that I actually like being the odd one out, the different one. But then I also realized that being the odd one out also makes me scared. So I am just wondering how does this work out.
   
   And then, while we were hanging out later that night, I also realized how much of the conversation I struggled to keep up with, simply because they were all drinking rum and Coke and talking really quickly all reverted back to their own accents which I can't quite grasp. Think that short hour drained me more than working the whole entire day.

Hmmmmm. Okay, that should be it for now, I think.

Have a nice weekend everybody! Love lots!

PhotoLog Entry For Day 4

Now, I have all these people sitting behind (and one beside) me. Awesome people though. I like them. =)

I don't look as smiley because it would be weird if I suddenly started smiling at my laptop for no reason.

So... Done with 5 flights today. Saw a unique rainbow, must mean something good is going to happen, or so I would like to think. =)

See the amount of smileys in this post? It's to make up for not smiling in the photo.

If it works that way. Then again, it's my blog.

So it'll work if I say so. =))

Unwanted Image

Boo.

I am up an hour before what my initial wake up time should be and I can't go back to sleep because an image that I really do not want to confront seems to be at the forefront of my brain.

=(

It's getting bright outside and it's the first day of racing today! Exciting! =)

Good Morning To Day 3

Today, everything seems clearer, brighter and sharper. Because I have my contacts on. :D

I hope you're alright. I really do.

The song I was suddenly randomly humming to this morning was none other than Westlife's Fool Again. Old school much? But it's one of those songs that I believe will always remain in our hearts fine, my heart.

Credit

I've done most of the files and printing for the teams, but it looks like I am going to have to redo some because there are some name changes and stuff.

Sailing was canceled this morning too. But Bill called to inform me about the cancellation last night so it's okay, I am not gonna kick anything / anyone unless my printer decides it's hungry and starts eating my documents again.

Hm.. Oh well, on to a good day, I hope! =)

So Happy Therefore It's Going To Be A Verbal Diarrhea Post

I have a fan! I officially have a fan! Not that fan kipas fan but a fan fan, like a fan girl fan!

A fan who's a complete stranger, who likes reading my blog. You know who you are! Thanks for being my blog's fan, it means a lot to me.. :D

I was cranky in the earlier part of today. Between my first post and this post to be exact. The printer kept eating my documents and I didn't feed myself lunch and I was just lonely. So the slightest of everything triggered negative emotions, anger primarily.

Sorry I took it out on you, and well, thanks for not running away.

I have this thing about talking too much to certain people and thus giving them an impression that I otherwise would not want them to have. But I have no idea how to prevent it. I can't be starting every single conversation with "I am talking to you but I am not interested interested in you". Get what I mean?

I know it sounds super bimbo but giving out wrong signals is taboo and I hate people doing that to me so likewise, I don't want to do it to others.

The funniest of thing is, to most people, I am just wanting to be nice and to talk and to generally make a new friend but then they are the ones who get the wrong message. But when I do want to make an impression with certain other people, I tend to always fail miserably.

Why is this so? Can someone please tell me why? I think it has to do with being natural and trying too hard. Maybe that is what it is.

I was supposed to have packed and gone back to my 'home' but I got carried away with this post so I better end it soon.

So...

I was invited to a 7.30am sail tomorrow morning, I really want to, but I am not for waking up so early... But I shall. I really hope there'll be sailing if not I am going to kick someone something.

Team Rainbows Are Pretty sounds like a good idea! You are bound to get all the attention -> Press coverage -> Sponsorship! #brilliant

LOL. More familiar faces tomorrow! Yay finally! :D

Slightly Busier Today

More work, but just slightly.

Day 2

It could be that I have been sitting for too long, or that my chair is crap or that my posture is sucky. I am thinking it's probably the third reason, but also partially the first two. Back is starting to ache.

Hm, was taught how to use the credit card machine today. I really really hope I don't screw up any 'transactions'.

It's bright and sunny now, those in the clinic are out having their rounds, Bill asked if I wanted to go down today, but I left my sunnies and stuff in the room.

I got to work faster, even if there is no urgency. 

Home For The Next 13 Days

Nyahahaha!

I Am Thinking That There'll Be Multiple Postings In The Coming Days

Why??

Because I have no one to talk to, at least till Thursday. By that, I don't mean that there's no other human beings here but more of, I refuse to go and seek communication with people who are not going to be within the same office space as I am in.

I am fussy. And lazy for the most of it.

But, seriously, this is kinda cool. I have done what I was given to do today within the first couple of hours, I reckon I even did extra. So for the rest of the time, I was getting warm in my jacket, hugging my Domo-kun, sitting in a fully air-conditioned office and watching Lie To Me Season 2, while occasionally watching the rain fall outside.

You people must have severe "envy me" syndrome right now right?? I know. :P

And because I have WiFi to use but no one to talk to! I decided to start a Photo Log while I am here... =))

So, to my first day:

So pretty lah! Wheee... <3

Who In The World?

Is reading from Netherlands, Russia... and Czech Republic and Latvia??

I mean, I know it's a www domain a.k.a. whole wide world.com but still, it amuses me. And things that amuse me is good, because it keeps me amused. It's a chicken and egg world out there.

The MR clinic is going on just next door. I am super tempted to pop by and sit in since it's free anyway. But I really don't wanna deal with people staring or asking me questions that I don't want to answer to.

It's bright and sunny and I've got 3 days to sort out stuffs before more familiar faces start appearing...

Should I go sail today? Probably not.

今天是真的有点累

It means, today was actually a rather tiring day.

And jeng jeng jeng...

It's official. 

After spending 4 years studying there, I find myself back in the Psych Dept @ HELP.

Please refrain from commenting on the photo. Both parents said I look horrible in it. If I had one complaint, it would be why I never have a decent ID photo!

In any case. I really like it here, feels somewhat like home. I know the people, I know my way around, I feel comfortable and it's just nice.

Speaking of feeling comfortable.... maybe save this topic for another day.

So I was saying. Today was a pretty tiring day. Waking up early to running errands to opening a new bank account to well, pretty much a busy-rush-hurry-no-breather sorta kinda day. And yet I feel like I've accomplished so little.

The consolation would be that I had KFC for lunch! =)

I really actually am pretty drained. Haha... Just wondering what else is there I need to do before calling it a day.

Good night people, have a great week ahead! xx

It's 5ish AM On Monday

Just sent Apple off, by right, I should be back in bed but I am such.

As I was driving back, this was on the radio. And it sounded nicer than usual, it could be due to several reasons, like sleep deprivation or the stillness of everything on the empty roads...

So anyway, I came back and YouTube-d it and found this:

Credit

This thing with piano's and people who can play it so well...

It was a great weekend, we cooked, we talked and ate and ate mostly. So I am back to having an alien in my stomach now.

Also, I am back to giving the new Blogger interface a shot. It actually seems fine. Change is after all, inevitable.

Bed's calling. Bye! <3

It's Sunday Already

Not that I am dreading the week, I actually am looking forward to it; but it's the end of word count week. Did you enjoy my word count week?

I sincerely honestly do not know what to think or what to make out of the situation. It's kinda like, it's fine as it is but at the same time, it isn't. Maybe I just need to stop being greedy and stop contradicting what I already set up in my mind.

Also, it's October already. It was October this time last year. LOL, what I was trying to say is, time really is flying by. So quick, so fast, so terrifying. What have you done/achieved in the past 12 months was what I had in my mind when I woke up this morning.

So in any case, there's 3 more months to the end of the year. Got to make it good. And then Heng is coming home! Super!

It's okay to be used, it's okay to be hurt, it's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to cry, it's okay to fall because that's how you grow and experience life. That's what Dad said to me this morning. But I am not sure if I like want to feel pain. -__-

So much to say, so little words.

Have an awesome possum week ahead everyone! =)

Love lots,

Ai
