Let's Take A Leap of Faith

Happy February 29th everybody, 

Happy Leap Day!

What Happens When Two Best Friends Fall For The Same Girl

A tonne of laughter and a bunch of happy movie goers.

Really. And no, not really.

This Means War with Sharon Kong! Definitely some wayward moments in the show but overall a good vibe movie. No harm that our main leads were very pleasing to the eyes to boot! Teehee..

I hope we both wake up for work tomorrow. Had this funky juice from Bobalicious, strawberry and lemon and something something. Yummys!

This is how my week is going to look like:

Meeting the girls for dinner later tonight; Tues is OT day as the new semester starts for my kids the Masters students; Wed night would be meeting with insurance-dude-who's-gonna-do-his-ultimate-best-to-persuade-me-that-I-need-more-insurance; Thursday mani&pedi and well Friday, Friday's are just awesome!

One last bit, something to take away from the movie...

Always pick the one who makes you a better person. =)

This Is For Today

1. I was washing my bathroom today, scrubbing, polishing and sweating it out when mommy knocked on the door to ask me some stuff and when she was done, I asked her to take a photo of me at work so that next time people say I never do housework I can justify.

I think she secretly enjoys the idea that people think I am hopeless at housework because she refused to help me take a photo.

2. Thanks but I think I rather not know anymore.

3. After sending Wesley back to school, Daddy had driven to some site to look at some land. I wished I had brought along my camera because it would have been a good photo opportunity.

4. My most favorite home appliance, without a doubt, is the vacuum cleaner. If you ever need help to think what to buy for me for my future house warming party, you have your solution. I'd like to have one of those robotic ones where it'll just go around the house doing the cleaning and sucking all by itself.

5. Kitchen counter is nicely done up and ready for use. Finally, the blender (Christmas present from Heng all the way from the United States of America) has a seat in the kitchen. All it needs now is some fruits, yoghurt and maybe vanilla ice cream!

That should be it for today.. Have a great start to week you people! =)

Communication Is Core

But if it's gonna be a choice between lousy communication versus no communication, I'd pick the latter.

Maybank2u why you no friend me? =(

I am getting mighty frustrated with this whole online banking thing. Said I have to go their branch, wasn't greeted with a pleasant experience, nevermind. Called me later on, told me I had to go to the ATM to sort it out, I went and did and now it's still not working. WHY!

Then again, I suppose it could be me who's just bad at following instructions. God knows how many phone calls I get a day asking about instructions to their online student accounts and databases when it is already clearly stated in their manuals. Maybe it's the same thing.

I shall go to the bank and have it sorted once and for all on Monday.

Today turned out alright, despite me not clocking in much sleep again last night. Stomach is as wonky as ever.

It poured like mad too, I was super glad I stayed dry though at one point I did regret not being on the water, the wind was good. Bought new gloves too, XS for tiny hands!

Daddy bought me a gym bag from Nike and Mommy is refusing to let me join the gym, for a good reason if I may add. Because the last time she had allowed me to, I screwed up royally by going for the first 3 months and then stopped going on the 4th month and was instructed to terminate my membership by the 5th month.

Doused myself with caffeine today. Think I am on a semi high. Been hearing things my ears like to hear but aren't doing my insides any good. It's good to hope, but simply hoping gets you nowhere and it is only made worse when one refuses to take action to make the hope stand a chance of becoming a reality. What to do.

"Heart beats fast, colors and promises, how to be brave, how can I love when I am afraid to fall" - lyrics to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, a song still so good despite it hogging the airwaves over the past couple of weeks.

I sincerely think you've had it hard, judging by the similarities we have, I can almost guess how painful it must be for you. Wounds do heal, takes time though, but it makes us stronger, so give it some time. If I could, I'd really want to give you a hug and say everything's okay, you will be alright because... you will be! You just need time, a lot of time, and learn to trust again.

Puahaha, in between composing this post, I tried doing the online account thing again and it worked! Think what it needed was more time to 'settle' in the system. But I still need to go back to the ATM to verify something. Bluek.

Sorry for making you peeps read the whole annoying bit about my online account! =)

今天又在办公室哭了

有时候真的觉得自己好逊。。。 一点点小事也搞不好，搞不定。 小小的难题就哭。 真的很讨厌这样的自己。 真的很讨厌弱的自己。

Again, it wasn't that work was bad, no one bullied me, no nonsense monkey business but it was just one of those meh days. But it turned out alright after all. Things started becoming alright after the second half of today.

It's not that I hate my job, but it's not that I love it either. But I certainly love the people I work with. Sometimes I really wonder what is it that I have done so right in life to be blessed with such wonderful people in my life.

Have you moved on? Have you? I am allowing myself to be weak today. Just today.

Dinner was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the company and the topics we shared. So I am a salad, I am a ring/ pendant, I am a mini car, I am best represented by the color orange, the time of the day I am best represented by is noon, people imagine me with a beach wedding, where I'd be wearing a short dress, barefooted.

The drink that represents me best is either a Cosmo or a Margarita, the Disney princess that resonates with me is Jasmine from Alladin or Pocahontas, footwear would be pumps or flip flops, makeup item would be eye shadow as it represents the wide array of moods I have...

I can't remember the rest but it was definitely a good time of bonding and sharing of laughter's. :D

Am thinking of taking the train to Port Klang tomorrow. Alone time for some deep thoughts. Okay, maybe not deep thoughts because deep doesn't really click with me, but I reckon it'd be a good time to catch up on some reading.

Train? Yes no? Yes??

It's Friday night peeps, have an awesome possum weekend!

不哭了！要坚强，要学会变成铁岗人！哈哈。。

Love sincerely... yours truly. <3

Had I Not Quit Ballet

Just look. Look at the poise, the passion, the grandeur, the pain, the perseverance, all, everything and more. Hear what they say.

Would I even have gotten that far? Nope. I never really liked ballet anyway, only did it because my parents sent me to learn. But to hear someone say, "It's just the joy of dance, I think we are all addicted to dance.. art, like drugs". Now, that's a whole different level.

Are we passionate about the things we do? Am I passionate about the things I do? I can answer you flat out. No. Not quite.

As for you, I don't know. I think you are passionate about the things you do, you just don't admit it. And maybe that's why it is even harder for you. Because you refuse to admit it. I hope you are alright. /hugs

I though, need to find something I can really be passionate about. Where, how, what, who, when remains a mystery.

What are you passionate about - food for thought?

Sometimes

I am just too adorable.


Other times...


I am just awesome.

I Think I Wanna Stuff Bitter Gourd Into Your Mouth

1. A very bad friend that I would never want to lose.

2. There once was this big wish, which I had wanted to fulfill, which I felt I could've accomplished. Wishes change.

3. Today's session was drier. But there were moments, moments we created amongst ourselves. One of those entertaining moments went something like this:

4. Speaker: "You all have 2 ears right? So you can listen using one ear and fill up the survey." Quietly I reasoned, "No I can't, because I use my ear to write."

5. Hmmm, I truly wonder...

6. Renovations going on in the kitchen, new kitchen counter soon! Excited to see what Daddy's masterpiece is going to turn out looking.

Photo Credit (Taylor Swift; Uee)

7. My favorite stand up posture is criss-crossing my legs. Not that I never knew, just no one pointed it out until today.

8. Referring back to the photo. Apart from them having more superior features, leaner physique, longer legs, being multi talented and highly successful in their respective industries and the numerous awards they have each won, everything else is juuust about the same lah, me and them. :P

9. Gonna attempt to prepare dinner. Which reminds me, I accidentally cracked an egg yesterday while attempting to wash it. #champion

10. We were once young, and hopeful and naive and happy...

I don't know about you, but I am still young, hopeful, naive and happy nevertheless! =)

To Put Things Into Perspective

1. "Smiling melts the hearts of people."

2. If you're unhappy, try skipping in the park. It's almost guaranteed that you'll be smiling (and happy) by the end of it.

3. "It's easy to miss what you are not looking for."

4. Acceptance and celebrating diversity is the new way to go on about life!

5. "There are no happy prisoners."

6. Attended a customer service training at school today, kinda like going back to class, except way more fun because one, no coursework/ assignments involved, and two, the speakers were really engaging. I have to say, I dreaded having to attend it in the morning but now, I can't wait for tomorrow's session. I hope the speaker tomorrow is going to be equally good, if not better.

7. Green Tea Latte looooooove!

8. A blast to the past; I wished we had remained the way we were. Those days were so much better.

9. But there's a reason the now is called the present, and that the only thing constant in life is change.

10. Monday was kind, Tues now...

Be as great! =)

Can You Please Stay, Forever And Always?

I feel like a little kid right now.

1. ETF today, wasn't bad. Did bow, drives me crazy when I can't get it right. Body parts don't ache too much tomorrow please.

2. I think I have finally figured the whole thing about quitting. I have developed too much dependency on it. And I don't like having to be dependent on something or even people for that matter.

3. Doggy is so cute.

4. Should I upload Club Med photos?

5. Diet starts tomorrow officially. Bought groceries today, pray I will be disciplined please.

6. Broke a nail, I wanna go pedi and mani to clean them nails.

7. Water bottle fell on my baby toe today. Feels like the bone in my baby toe is broken.

8. Mindy Gledhill

9. So freaking fat. Need to lose weight and get into shape.

10. Why do I always do this to myself? Why..

Monday tomorrow, Monday be good please. 

Para, Para, Paradise

Love this song!

Work tmr, half day. I am hoping to put in some shopping tomorrow, gotta work on my wish list. Everything That Floats on Sunday, exciting times.

When she was just a girl, she expected the world.

It Feels Like I Have Worms In My Brains

=(

I am in serious need of some inspiration. I reckon the slightest bit of inspiration will do me some good right now.

Just don't feel like doing anything at all.

Sigh.

Even breathing seems like a chore.

I Must Look A Lot Smarter Than I Really Am

Because 9 out of 10 times I tell someone I work at a university, they go, "Graduate tutor ah?" or else it'll be "Are you a lecturer?"

-__-"

Seriously.

When I am at work, my distant colleagues (like how we have distance relatives) think that I am a student. Some students think I am a student. Some students think I am a lecturer. Security guards think I am a student. Lecturers think I am a student too. It's hilarious.

Today, I realize I do admire charismatic personalities. I wish I were more charismatic myself, if only.

Are people born with charisma or is it acquired through time?

Happy Valentines Day Everyone

This has been my wallpaper on my work desktop for the longest time.

So cute lahhh!

Again, I cannot remember where I got it from. I hope I don't get sued.

It's funny how encouragement works. But it's all good now, I am all good now, thanks!

I believe if it didn't work out the way I had wanted it to, it just means there's something else out there that is meant to be, that's right for me.

I love me, and of course I love you too! :D

It Was Nothingness Earlier, Right Now..

I am just mighty irritated. Angry. And upset.

Mostly at myself. For hoping. Stupid enough to hope. Damn it.

So much crappy feelings in a day, so bad for the soul. So bad.

I hope it doesn't stay this way, it'll eat me inside out.

Happy Valentines Day, feel the love. :(

Today, I Think

I am kinda sad.

Or maybe not quite sad, just not happy. Not quite happy.

From the scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being sad and 10 being happy.

I think I am at 5.

Wait..

That means, I am not feeling anything.

Maybe that's what it is.

害我睡不着的臭原则

明天的问题，明天才想。明天的事情，明天才解决吧！

大家，晚安咯。。

大家，陪我一起insomnia咯！

Jeremy Lin? Who Is This Dude?

Because everyone was sharing that video on Facebook, I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a go... Now I know who Jeremy Lin is.

He's an impressive basketball player who freaking is also a Harvard graduate, according to Wiki! I am not a big basketball fan, correction, I am not a basketball fan at all, but basing on the video, he's pretty damn good at it lah!

I sincerely believe I have found myself a new person to go fan girl-ing about!

Dear Jeremy, are you free on Valentines Day? :D

A girl can dream hey!

I Specifically Told You Not To, But You Went Ahead And Did Anyway

Just goes to show how bad you are at taking instructions lah. But oh well. 

I think I've lost the mojo of updating daily this week. I think when my days are average, I just go by the motion and that's it. It's only when there're dramatic highs or dramatic lows that I'll end up writing something. So don't expect frequent updates this couple of days, weeks maybe even.

Shopping at Kenanga with the girlfriends was awesome and fruitful! I got 6 tops and 1 work dress, all within a budget of RM200+. The beginning bit was a little meh, but it picked up after awhile. My take on Kenanga is, don't go there for accessories, bags or shoes, Bangkok trumps Kananga in that area haaaands down. But as you go to the lower floors (top few floors were bags and accessories), you can find some pretty decent clothes for okay prices.

Another let down was that many shops only sold stuff in bulk. Like, you'd have to buy all colors of the same dress design, or you'd have to buy all sizes of the whole range of clothes. Otherwise shop owners won't even bother telling you their selling price. That kinda got me upset because I saw dresses that I wanted to get but impossible lah that I buy 7 colors of the same dress or that I buy sizes S, M, L, XL for just the M dress. 

Then again, it's called Kenanga Wholesale City for a reason I guess. So yeah, that's my take. I'd definitely still go back though, where else will you get 7 items for RM200?! Fly to Thailand just to shop is gonna costs me way more lah right, not that I don't have plans to do that. Teehee.

I Wonder, How Are You?

Dang it, I have an ulcer in my mouth. =( Must be the damn bakwa's lah. Every year without fail, bakwa does something evil to me, and yet every year, I become a nom bakwa monster. I never learn. Sighs. It hurts.

I was very good yesterday. I could've spent money and bought that new bag and also could've purchased colored contacts (which were on promo!) but I didn't. One reason being I really couldn't convince myself that I needed another bag and two being, I just have been too lazy to put on my lenses anyway so why bother?

But now, I kinda regret not buying either item because one, my current work bag is gonna give up on me soonish and I have good reasons why all my current existing ones don't make the cut, ie, too casual, too colorful, too big etc. And well, colored contacts wise, I've ran out of contact lenses and I was meaning to stock up and since they were on promo... Anyway anyhow.

Going shopping at the Kenanga Wholesale City with the girlfriends later! I am hoping it'll be good.

It's been taking me ages to finish my Emotional Intelligence book.. So much so I told my mommy that if I don't finish it by this coming Sunday, I am going to say goodbye to the book. Wish me luck, I am only halfway through. A portion that I read today was: "Or it may be that pessimist neglect themselves - some studies have found that pessimist smoke and drink more, and exercise less..." Sounds exactly like someone I know.

In the car today, mommy asked me, "So really no one going after my girl girl ah?"
Silence.
"See, so high maintenance that's why lah..."

MOMMY YOU BETTER DON'T SAY ALREADY!

And she just started laughing. So mean.

Throwing oranges didn't happen either. Just gotta wait till next year to throw and hope for that good husband to fall from the sky. Pfft.

The reason why I am still awake now is because I was supposed to construct some budgets but I keep procrastinating - a word I have not used since graduating I believe.

It's back to work tomorrow, not too sure if I am ready for work yet or not.

Holidays are just too awesome!

Please Start Existing

Gonna go chill in the mall today. Went to Dome in BSC for dinner yesterday, the menu was pretty decent! :D I think I may have just found a new hangout place, prices are a bit steep though.

Is tonight Chap Goh Meh? I heard my aunt wishing someone that over the phone earlier and we apparently have a dinner to attend tonight.. If it is, then happy Chap Goh Meh lah people!

I should go take oranges and throw some into the sea since nobody is eating them anyway.

Why waste, might as well put them to good use.

When I Don't Look Like Me

I think I haven't been drinking enough water. Lips are very dry.

I woke up on a good note though. Awesome bedhead hair! Hee!

PC said, "Nice makeup". #success

Happy birthday to you my dear! <3

I don't like the new timeline thingy, because now my photos are all smaller. Doggy is ugly now, he looks skeletal, no more tissue box Scottie but at least he can see now.

There so much going on, yet so little that I know about. But it's okay lah. Know so much for what right?

Chiong k-ed with the uni mates yesterday and went for our Chinese New Year dinner. We've all grown up somewhat, it's kinda nice to see. I hope we'll still be as we are in the next ten or twenty years to come, only better, stronger, wiser and happier... :D

Need to construct my to do list and update my 50 things list for 2012. 

Mhmmm

It all seems to be right now. Just right.

=)


Long weekend love!

红包，巧克力，豆浆水

=)

This job sure has it perks. I should remember these moments whenever the slightest tinge of discontentment arises. Nobody needs the negativity, the world could use more positivity - which apparently isn't a proper word.

I believe that if it is in my capability to make someone feel happier without putting myself at a loss, then it's alright. It's different from wanting to please people at your own expense because to me, that's just being stupid.

Undeniably though, we humans sometimes still do so, we become stupid people for the people we care about.

I guess it's all about being smart in life and finding the right balance.

Friday tomorrow, TGIF!

Whee! Wednesday!

Today, to sum it up in one word, was none other than fulfilling.

Woke up, met some friends and their plus one's for bf at Chawans.. One commented saying I look, or act like a kid. No joke, I am not a kid, I just act like one sometimes because people are more forgiving and loving towards kids. Me and my twisted logic in my tiny bubble that protects me from worldly harm.

Hee!

Went sailing today, it was good to be back out on the water after so long. Went for a dip in the pool afterwards and had ojian for dinner. Yums!

Back to work tomorrow, refreshed and ready.

I hope Wednesday was kind to all you peeps too! Love lots!
