(pre) Friday Is All That Matters

Good things must share right! :D


*nah*

Anyway. Yours truly is tired. But it's okay, because tmr I shall TGIF! :))

I have no idea why. But all my working skirts keep 'turning'!

Either my body is weird, or, my body is very weird.

Chamomile and honey, soothing. I asked Mommy, People don't put milk into chamomile tea right? What if I wanna put milk into mine?

"PUT LAH".

So don't give face.

Mozzies please go away. I don't need to get dengue a second time thanks very much.

Have a great Friday everybody!

Talk Time

I don't know. Is it just me? Or do we even 'fight' over talk time nowadays?

It is so weird. It probably is just me wanting attention lah I reckon at the end of the day. I am sho bad.

I may have just found a second love after Google!

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
— Marilyn Monroe, from Good Reads
Life is good, but I am tired. Good night world!!

Two Late Nights

and I am exhausted.

Wonder how we coped during uni days with almost no sleep for a good 4 days working on multiple assignments at one go.

Crap, don't tell me age actually has such a significant impact! :(

Whatever it is, I am super looking forward to seeing the girls later.

Recharge session here I come.

The mystery behind Heng's phrase is that, after Tuesday, even the calender goes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday!

Have a great second half to the week! :D

Why Do I So Often Do Things I Will Regret

For instance, I come home from work slightly earlier today.

And I walk straight into the kitchen.

I had to go look into the fridge.

Knowing full well that Mom has stocked up on cakes from Delicious.

And then I end up picking out whichever one that looks most appealing.

Which happens to be the carrot cake coated with enormous amount of cheese!

Then I start om nom nom nom-ing!

Blahh

My right pointy is hurting me for no apparent reason, there isn't any blood, there isn't any scratch, it's just irritatingly pain, right at the tip of the nail.

Anyways. Day 1 of Week 3. Still alive.

I realized ONE thing today. It is almost impossible to not have carbs in one's meal when you are working. As in, 99% of the food available near work, has carbs. FML, so much for wanting to lose some weight in due time for convo.

On a brighter note, we had champagne at work! Believe it. Colleague hit her sales target, which in turn helped us hit office target, which in turn put us up on the score board, and yada yada... Point being, my workplace, is pretty cool.

Can't believe March is coming to an end. So quick. Time does fly by faster as you grow older.

And that can only mean one thing.

APPRECIATE EVERYDAY, EVERYONE, EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME!

Live life!

Sneak Preview

So, convo is in 2 weeks time. I am actually getting pretty excited!

Anyway, today's post is going to be pretty random.

Here's an article I thought was pretty amusing and something I would encourage you to read. Credits to Mandy for finding this one!

I am pretty surprised, I actually have more readers than I had assumed. Hello those of you who have recently commented / are reading!

If you noticed, I used the word "pretty" in 4 of the sentences above! I would have made it 5 but I am thinking it's not necessary though if you insist, the fifth sentence was going to sound something like this...

I am _____!

I am sure you know how to complete the sentence, it's pretty common sense. Hahaha.

Was talking to Chaiboy about my "superficialness" because of my latest infatuation with using make up (almost on a daily basis, it's bad!) and the conversation led to a photo of Twiggy with her crop haircut, this:


Actually looks pretty good eh?? But I dare not try. Confirm will regret this one.

Have a fantastic Sunday everyone! <3

Ai Was Out The Whole Entire Day

Therefore there wasn't the aforementioned "constant mini updates".

Anyway. The highlight being, the mommy ended up doing all the shopping!

Weekend crowds are scary! :(

I wanna go shopping on weekdays, when there are less humans occupying the space around me. Boo, tough luck with working life.

Anyhow. I actually did not get a single thing. I am thoroughly amazed at myself.

Yawn. Sleepy.

I reckon the only thing keeping me awake right now is the caffeine, which undeniably, is wearing off...

soon.

Will My Parents Really Disown Me If I Got Myself A Tattoo

Welcome..

Today is Think Aloud Day!

Expect tonnes of mini updates throughout..

I Wonder What Is It Exactly That I am Trying To Prove




-__- ??



Good Night Dear World!

Mentally Unorganized

I couldn't agree more.

In any case.

Things seem to be looking good at times, not so good at other times. But humans make do, don't we?

I have my earphones plugged in, music playing, feels kinda good. Simple pleasures in life. Period.

I so am dying for a holiday.

I am putting on so much weight it's not even funny anymore. I so need to go back on my diet. Self control where art thou?

I am hoping to get in some retail therapy this weekend. Yay - yay!

I use a lot of I's right? Selfish people like me like to talk about myself like super a lot. I like lah. What can you do about it!

Pink mouse, pink external HD and pink M&M earphones make me a happy girl!

If you can guess what I am thinking right now correctly, I give you 10 points!

The reason I am still up? Prolong my weekend to the max. Twisted logic? I LIKE LAH.

I need to find a new hobby.

Should I start counting down to the 5th of June now??

Jelly beanie nails in Baby Pink! <3

Are you tired of reading yet?

I don't know about you but I am tired of coming up with random statements to keep you entertained.

Thank me now please thanks!

10 Things You (Probably) Do Not Know About Me

I added the world probably for safety measures.
  1. I have a handsome friend.
  2. I like to think of myself as a good person, but, sometimes I find it really hard to believe.
  3. I feel most tired when things I feel / do / believe/ hope are incongruent with each other.
  4. My playlist has more Korean songs than all other languages combined.
  5. I am super anal when it comes to applying nail polish.
  6. I use the hairdryer more when my hair is short.
  7. I hold grudges.
  8. I actually think I make a good housewife. Don't laugh. I like to do the dishes, I like to do the laundry, I like to cook (not that I am great at it), I like to make sure the place is clean and tidy, I like to laze around the house. I said already, don't laugh.
  9. As I age grow older, I feel I am more introverted than extroverted.
  10. I actually read out loud what I type. Unless I consciously make it a point to keep quiet.
There! 10 things..

Bet you didn't know at least 6 of the above no matter how well you know me!

I Don't Even Know What To Say But I Just Wanna Say

Waking up, feeling not-particularly-great-but-not-downright-bad-either, realizing it's raining there goes my hopes of going out for a quick run, so I hit the snooze button, wake up again after the-9-minute-snooze, get up, realized that it had settled into a drizzle (still no run, maybe I am just lazy after all), missed saying "Good morning" to Mom, spend a couple of minutes staring at the comp screen wondering what exactly was I thinking last night when I logged in, setting off the car alarm to re-park the car so Dad wouldn't have to do it twice, and then glance at the clock, oh dear! I'm almost running late!

You know? That kinda feeling?

It's a mehhh feeling. I wonder who I learnt that word from.

Anyways, I hope it'll be a good day. Because people say, it's up to you to make a good day. And as I always say, it's self fulfilling prophecy! One of the few theories I still keep from university days.

So I am delaying the 10 things you don't know about me post. I'll probably sit down and give it some deep thought tonight! Wait for it!

In the meantime, have a good Thursday you all... :))

I Just Did The Un-Thinkable

Well, not really.

But it was something I promised myself I will NOT do. No matter what.

But I just did it. Despite consistently telling my workaholic friends that work should remain at the office, do not ever bring it back home.

I just did it. I just logged on to my work email and platform from home.

FML

Haha! But I guess logging in doesn't mean a thing because I am going to sleep now. We'll see about it tmr.

Regardless.

Have a great Thursday people!

Tuesday, March 22

Heng said, After Mon and Tues Even the Calender Goes WTF

But I still don't get it.

Either way, tmr can't go wrong! Because I am meeting the girls for dinner. <3

And of course, it's gown collection tmr. Meaning to say, the prospect (crap, I can so see how "prospect" is going to be my most used vocabulary, Mike Wan, stop laughing) of finally graduating per say, is sinking in.

Well, actually, now that I have started working, it really doesn't make much of a difference. Meh. So much for that supposedly magical moment where you go up the stage, smile for the camera, shake the dudes hand, collect your degree and officially become a graduate.. Okay, I don't get it anymore.

Anyways.

The 10 things you don't know about me post is under construction. I have 3 items now! :P

If there is one thing I learnt today, it is that while your day may have been miserable, you don't have to make someone else's day miserable too!

Though, close friends of mine, too bad, because you're close, you're going to be miserable when I am because that's just how it is.

Not that my life is miserable. Just sayin'.

It's such a pleasure to make someone smile, to make someone/anyone happy that sometimes I wonder why can't people I just see the good. Why always focus on the bad. Because the bad is more appealing? Because the bad is more intriguing? Yeah, probably.

But, this is my mission, I am gonna make it a point to make at least one person happy each day! Not in terms of self sacrificing to please someone, I'd NEVER do that. But to just genuinely make someone feel happy, brighten up their day for whatever reason it may be.

And I think you should too!

And today, you can be happy because as I am writing this, I just said a little prayer, and know that I wish for happiness...

for each and everyone of you.

Okay lah, Fantastic, Hang On Me lah Hang

I was talking to my Facebook btw.

Day I Week II, still breathing.

I am planning a "10 Things You Probably Do Not Know About Me" post.

I ONLY have 2 things so far.

Some help perhaps?

Feedback welcomed in comment box.

Today Is RPP Saturday!

Having fun with the tiny mirror on the sun shield thingy on the passengers seat.

The original intention was to take a photo so I can see what my ear looks like from the back with all the earring studs.

Basic narcissism 101.

A rainy cozy morning.

Green Tea Latte, yums! <3

Doggie picked out these two pieces in particular from his dinner bowl. And this was on Valentines day. No kidding!

Sunday comes after Saturday.

So dear Sunday, please lasts forever.

Who Is That Girl I See, Staring Straight Back At Me


When I get stressed, I _____ . Teh Tarik on me if you get the correct answer.

I missed out on Day III but it's fine, don't panic, I am here, still surviving!

It's day IV today, someone owes me a kow-tow. :P

Anyway, I have a rhetorical question to post. If Monday to Friday goes by so quickly, wouldn't Saturday and Sunday zoom by without me even noticing it?!

I just got back from my run, can you tell?? I know you can't, because obviously if you can, I would be calling the cops on you right now.

But yes, I did just get back from a run. I never in my life imagined myself saying this but the run was... actually refreshing!

Thank God it's Friday.. tmr.

P/s: The answer is "eat". When I get stressed, I eat. So now that we all know the answer, no one is getting the Teh Tarik.

Have a great Friday (and weekend) everybody! Love lots.

Day II

I spilled Subway coffee on my blazer (which I conveniently left at the office) and also onto my Coach this morning. :(

It's a good thing I don't put sugar into my coffee these days. Didn't finish my breakfast Sub either.

Today's quiz was boring, it's Are you right or left handed. Which meh, doesn't interest me though I did the quiz anyway and didn't like the result so I am not posting it.

Had this superb dinner with mommy dearest at El Meson in Telawi earlier. Am waiting for the food to digest while writing this lying on my bed.

Yes, it's bad I know.

Anyway, so much for Day II. Signing off to wash up, and get ready for bed.

Have a great Wednesday everybody, it's mid week!

I Had Pineapple Fried Rice For Lunch



Your Inner Fruit Flavor is Pineapple



You are the type of person who lights up a room, and it's not just because you're attractive.

Your ideal evening involves something social - you like to be out on the town.



You are energetic and playful. Whenever you get the chance, you like to play hooky.

You're very charming and outgoing. You are a total people person, and you get bored when you're alone.



So in a very odd way, this somewhat covers today's update! :)

Sunday, March 13

At Times Like This

I feel Blogthings is out to cheat me.




You Are a Vanilla Latte



Each day you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world... even before you've had coffee!

You have amazing energy and stamina. You love to work hard and enjoy your rewards.



You are friendly and popular. People love you more than they even realize.

Your fresh, laid back, and happy attitude always makes things a little sweeter.




Cuz I definitely don't feel congruent with what it has to say today. >(

It's Saturday Already

*breathes*

It's an awkward Saturday.

I like the word awkward. I use it way too much. I feel awkward. That is awkward. This is awkward. My day was awkward. Today is awkward.

I dunno what does awkward actually mean now that I think about it. I use it to mean that something doesn't feel right somewhere. It doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing though.

But anyway.

After Saturday comes Sunday and after Sunday comes Monday. And Monday means, Ai Li starts work officially! *cues claps*

Meh. Let's get past?? / pass?? tomorrow first. When it comes to grammar, mine sucks so bad you really have no idea.

Let me compile the list of things I have done so far.
  • Talked to Heng on the phone
  • Got out of bed late
  • Laundry / brush teeth etc
  • Had dim sum for brunch with mommy dearest
  • Declined going for mani and pedi because of sailing tmr
  • Hesitated about going for ice cream because it was so effin' hot earlier
  • Made a glass of ice cold coffee instead
  • Replied emails / messages
  • Cleared my nails and cut em' short
  • Showered doggie
  • Watched episodes of English subbed Happy Together's
  • Swept and mopped the floor
  • Got rid of random items lying on the floor, by that I mean I shoved them under my bed
  • Realized that my volleyball is out of air
  • Read two of my current favorite fashion reads: The Daybook and Clothed Much
  • ... and here I am!
What am I going to do after wrapping this up?
  • Continue shoving things under my bed
  • Wash my glass
  • Shower
  • Pack the closet
  • Maybe plan dinner.. Hmm
  • Read the stuff sent to me by the company (*)
  • Start calling people to crew for me tomorrow /rawr
  • Wipe my work station + dressing table because I cannot recall the last time I gave them a good wipe down #superduperdusty
That should be it for now! I hope your Saturday isn't as awkward! <3

Tata!

Today Is Random Photo Post Day

Good morning you all! :))

It's drizzling outside, and it feels super nice! I just woke up, haven't brushed my teeth yet, I can smell doggie's poop somewhere, and I am having a bad hair day, braids here we go again!

Still, it seems like it'll be a good day...

Was in MV on Tues for lunch with the kawan and guess who we saw!

Speed camera in town - Its function is to catch the train that exceeds speed limit
Was in the car with Mike and Chaiboy, and it was one of them who came up with the idea, was supposed to send this in to The Star for the RM50 picture but I got lazy

This is how close Kong parked the Waja to the wall on Sunday. So really, all the scratches aren't created by me okay thanks!

Weird parking lot in The Gardens. Such a waste of space!


Ahhh, Mommy's on half day today! :))

Thursday, March 10

"Why", You Ask?

Because I am a Pysch student lah, so I like to play mind games. Just kidding! :P

Anyway, some random bits before I call it a day though my body has started shutting down starting from my brain so whatever you are reading from now onwards is purely non-cognitive.

I am thoroughly amazed at how pretty my black nail polish (which I keep in the refrigerator for good measures) are holding up even w/o top and/or bottom coat. I know, so bad for my nails right? Trust me, I painted them based on impulse thinking I'll take them off by night but I am surprisingly pleased with them so yup, they're staying on for at least a couple more days.

That is, at most only till Sunday night, cause as you already know, working life starts on Monday.

I am absolutely pleased with my Etude Eye Primer. Seriously.

I just did the Are you Bipolar Test on Blogthings. It says I am 92% bipolar and I should consult a doctor. *inserts a hysterical laughter followed by a long pause* Maybe I should really be concerned! Lol

The only 2 things I didn't check on the list was: No one has accused me of being reckless and out of control and I have not been suicidal at times - maybe once or twice but isn't that kinda normal?

I think that should be it for now. Oyasumi!

Tuesday, March 8

And This Is What Blogthings Has To Say

You have great people skills and tend to be extremely popular with everyone you know.
You are modest and humble. You like to be the center of attention, but you don't show off.

You live in the present moment. You try to enjoy whatever is going on and refrain from complaining.
You rely on your friends and family for support. You can be lonely when there's no one else around.

This Is What I Have To Say

Fine. We'll play along by your rules and we'll see who wins.

UNIQLO is hiring! *click*

I need to stop eating! Mehh. Probably better if I up my exercising though.

Is playing Big Bang's Tonight on repeat.

Feels like eating cake! LOL

Monday, March 7

Good Morning, Monday

7 days to be exact. The countdown shall begin. Or not.

I can't decide if I am more excited to begin my career as a professional or if I should be mourning over the end of my bumming days. But oh well, mixed emotions at its best.

Yesterday was an awesome day. :))
Sharon Kong, thank you and I love you lots!

Got most of my office wear. Still short of a blazer. Rawr. Weird body super hard to find one that fits and that's inexpensive. Let that be today's challenge.

Finally got my hands on Etude House's Proof 10 Eye Primer. Two words: Love it! The Maybelline BBCream - I am still feeling indifferent about it but we'll see about that.

Signing on my card, I don't feel anything. Going through my receipts, is when the pain comes. #heartpain

So much for now, have a great Monday people.. <3

You Are A VIP Member

Funny! :D

Dear Phone, please hang in there. T__T

It probably is high time for another RPP but I haven't collected enough random shots to posts yet so be patient okay??

Black Swan was tiring scary to watch, but it's good! Next show: Beastly! Keyword: Eye candy, in the name of Alex Pettyfer.

Mommy dearest can't stop laughing over the fact that I am going to be doing something that I am very likely to hate. And apparently, she's not the only one.

I think I am a bit confused these days.

Bipolar is back.

P/s: But it's okay, cause Heng says it is CEO's disease.

If My Body Could Talk

It would probably be telling me to stop stuffing myself with nonsense.

It's almost like, I don't bother eating when I am not hungry and then when the hunger pang strikes, anything goes and all hell breaks loose!

See what, eat what. So gg.com I tell you.

I am so glad my mouth is closer to the brain and heart which says, just eat lah; as compared to my stomach which receives the food and says, this is NOT food, it's rubbish.

But I am not-so-glad that my brain only registers what happens after my body is stuffed.

=/

But nevermind lah, life is meant to be enjoyed!

Have a great weekend peeps! <3

Mommy Dearest!

It says, I can't help it, I just like expensive things. Don't believe, see for yourself!

You are a full of grace and peace. You don't let yourself get worked up.
You tend to be a bit reserved. You only speak when you really have something to say.

You aspire to a lot in life, and you're quietly working on your plan to take over the world.
You are elegant and a bit of a snob. You can't help it... you like expensive things!

Though everything else isn't quite true lah.

The 2 Diff's




I am different because I am difficult.

Or,

I am difficult because I am different.



What's your say??

I Am Into The Color Green :D

First with my Green Tea Latte craving, which I haven't had yet. Maybe I'll reward myself if it all goes well tmr..

And then, I had a full glass of home blended Green Apple & Celery concoction to top off the 30 mins run earlier.

Talk about feeling healthy! Yay me! :DD

I still have a whole jug of it left in the freezer (I over-estimated, yes), for later.

Woots woots!

The More I Look At It

The weirder it becomes.

Hence, I should not bother.

And just let it be.

I have got severe Green Tea Latte craving, who wanna chia me??

I am back! :))
