Miracles In December

Miracles in December - EXO

It's The Last of Twenty Thirteen

And to be completely honest. If it were to end right now, I can say it isn't ending on a good note. Thank goodness we've still got just slightly less than 24 hours to turn the tide around hey!

For startes, a review of my resolutions.

1) I'd like to entertain the idea of traveling to two different countries, Singapore and Thailand don't count.

This is likely the year I've travelled to the most number of different countries in a given year - Singapore, Sydney, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea, Bali, Thailand. Not too shabby!

2) Some people say, the more you wish for it, the more it won't happen. Some others say, if you don't try, you'll obviously never get it. I'm fifty-fifty. I reckon I'll be fine just as I am, but if someone special stumbles along, that'd be nice too.

So. No one special turned up on my doorstep after all. Ohwell, life goes on, maybe more luck in 2014. Ha! 

3) I am still at a stage where I don't quite know what, where, or how my future will be. So I most certainly would like it if I am able to learn more about myself and my aspirations in twenty thirteen.

I'm still pretty much where I left of last. But a few significant changes would be that I've (somewhat) changed roles at the workplace and I'm rather enjoying the new responsibilities and work scope, and not to forget, I've also gained more confidence in skippering my own crew.

4) In twenty twelve, I said, "Dieting will always be for tomorrow", so it was not on my list. But this coming year, I am inclined to lose some weight and getting to say, 48kg's. According to the Asian BMI, me being at 48kg's would put me on the lower end of the healthy weight range, which is perfect!

Hahaha! Okay, meh. This was definitely not achieved unless a miracle happens later today - by which for instance if gravity suddenly decides to play hooky.

5) Join a class / master a new skill. It could be dancing classes, cooking classes, baking classes, sushi making classes, climbing classes, language classes, latte art classes, diving, Pilates maybe, or even kickboxing. Whichever tickles my fancy. And if I can get a buddy to do it with me, that'd be added motivation to try it.

I didn't quite learn a new skill either. But I cooked some, danced some, climbed some, baked some. Watched more Korean drama therefore picked up a few more Korean words, if that counts.

6) This next resolution is one that I had to think hard and long before writing it down, because it takes on a more serious tone, at least to me it does. And writing it down and making it public would mean that I will have to see to it. #accountability101

I've always felt "insecure" and inferior when it comes to matters about religion, and it is most likely because I feel inadequate when it came to this. Also, overly warm people scare me to death. Twenty thirteen will be a year in which I shall not be afraid of overly warm people shall brave it all and do what I need to do.

So dear friends, those of you who are of the same faith as I, please pray for me. Check on me too from time to time because you know, I can be a lazy bum sometimes.

Yay, I got baptized so now it's my turn to encourage all of you who were in the same situation as I was, or who have yet to come to believe. It was much easier than I had expected it to be. There wasn't any complicated rules or requirements, just a willing heart. If you've missed my testimony, or would like to read it again, click here!

7) Run.... (I am already regretting this) a marathon? But I guess this would help with item (4). It's a good thing that I did not specify how long the marathon must be. In the namesake of staying healthy though, let's see to this lah. Run a marathon.

I did a 7km in May and a 10km in Oct. Both of which were painful experiences, the latter more so.

8) For each of the 365 days in 2013, I am to write down (at least) one blessing per day. There can be more than one, the idea is just so that in the case where some days seem so dark that nothing good happened or could happen, in my best efforts, or that of others, there will be something, no matter how tiny, to be grateful for.

I obviously didn't stick to this either. But every night before I sleep, at the back of my head, thinking about what I have to be thankful for and to be grateful for, has definitely helped me to get through tougher and gloomier days, much like today / yesterday. 

9) To be a better person. I know this is an odd resolution too, considering how there's no way to determine whether it has been achieved by the end of 2013. But it's here to act as a reminder that no matter what circumstance, I shall attempt my very best to do what's right, or at least my perceived right (there's no way this is going to sound correct), but you get what I mean don't you?!

I'm not an evil person, but I'm no angel either - I'm pretty sure I've said this before. And it still stays. In much of what I have done in 2013, I have tried to be more patient, to be more understanding, more accepting, more kind. I may not have been able to keep to it 24/7 all 365 days. There were times where I lost it and let the worse get the better of me. But all in all, I believe I've been a good kid.

10) We're down to the last resolution already so quick! So I'll stick to the cliche - Live everyday to the fullest, love like there's no tomorrow, be a blessing to others.

I tried, and will keep on trying till the end comes.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace - Chris Tomlin

At A Loss For Words

This song came to mind.

Silent All These Years - Sun Yanzi

The song doesn't depict what I feel today. But for some strange reason, I felt like listening to it.

Dear friend,

I have not known you for very long, and I wished I had tried that much harder, paid that much more attention, spent that much more effort. Nonetheless, in the very short while that we've interacted, we became fast friends, I liked you and thought of you as a really good person. I am saddened by your departure, and I am going to miss your presence. I pray that you will continue to share your good nature and cheer with all those you meet in heaven.

You will be missed.

Love,
Ai Li

心愛的

I've heard this on the radio numerous times, but was never able to catch the song title, and don't ask me why I never Shazam-ed it because I don't know why either.

I was so glad to have finally stumbled onto it on youtube! =)

心愛的 - 卓文萱 & 黃鴻升

Belly be fatty - my jeans have never been tighter. All the awesome nommies is taking a toll on my waistline and needless to say, my sedentary lifestyle as of the past two months have not been particularly helpful either.

I am seriously considering spending a good 1.3k on Pilates now. I wonder if 10 sessions will whip me into shape. Because that's a lot of money.

Maybe I'll start with a run tomorrow. Followed by shopping for a present. Followed by showing face at the main campus for a bit. Followed by (helping a good friend prepare) cooking a meal for the annual CF party. And that's more food right there.

My room is el-stinko (I mean, smelly), but I can't seem to trace the source of it. I certainly hope it's from outside my room and not that Scottie had made a mess somewhere hidden out of my direct sight. Fun fact: Elstinko is apparently a Korean clothing brand! Hahaha.

All in all, this was a great Friday! /love

The Like Phenomena

I was referring to the like function on Facebook.

I'll be honest and come clean about being a 'like collector'. The more likes I get on a certain post, the nicer / happier I feel.

But I'm not that insecure, neither is my esteem so fragile that I totally depend on likes to live on. It's just an additional form of healthy addiction (oxymoron!), if I must say. =)

And now that my like radar has been ping-ing, I'm one happy girl. Teehee!

It's Christmas Eve

And in 2 minutes, it'll be Christmas - there's more to presents and simply wishing people Blessed Christmas on this special day, but that's not to say that it's wrong either.



Blessed Christmas everyone!

What's What

Literally.

Time flew by at work today, before I knew it, it was time to go home. And if it wasn't for the downpour, I'd might have been more compelled to drive into town for dinner with some visiting friends, but I'm just a lazy bum and the rain was a convenient excuse.

Youtube isn't streaming well this night, that's making me kinda sad.

I should also get organized before it's too late. Constantly saying "There's always tomorrow" will eventually bite me in the butt.

It's Christmas, a time of giving, also a time of reflection. A time to celebrate, a time to be grateful.

Then again, it's always time for those things - giving, reflecting, celebrating and being grateful. Same goes to loving too.

Sending my love to all you peeps reading today! /heart

Just

寧夏 - 梁靜茹

Feels right.

Why So Cute!

Gotta stop being attracted to all the cute.

[went to work]

And it's a wrap! =))

The Good Kinda Emo

What Now - Rihanna

Sure didn't sound like her. Nonetheless, I am pleasantly surprised. Really enjoying it, though it's kinda ironic since it's a pretty emo song.

The good kinda emo perhaps?

The Spark

The Spark - Afrojack ft Spree Wilson

I see nekkid butt. O.o

I don't know why Hollywood deem nakedness necessary.

That said, love the song!

Feeling Misunderstood

It's usually the people you care about who ends up saying the most hurtful things.

It's true on two counts:

1. If it were a stranger commenting on how you've put on weight (for instance), chances are, you'd be upset but the comment won't sting very much.

2. If it's someone you cared about, anything that they say will undoubtedly have a greater effect, whether positive or negative.

When you truly care about someone, you'd expect the person to be honest with you (that's a given). But when they don't even bother trying to understand you, and accuse you along with what others say, you'd wonder why you even bothered in the first place.

Am I right? Or am I right?

Who Ate My Meds?

Hahahaha!

Last night after I ate my dinner, I took out my antibiotics and realized 3 pills had been eaten. Because the instructions were swallow 2 pills 2 times a day, so very quickly my mind did a calculation.Why is it an odd number? Impossible!

"Who ate my medication?" I exclaimed.

Only to realize seconds later that I was the dumdum who took only one pill in the morning instead of two.

LOL

I Don't Know About You

But I am in need of some good sleep. ZZzzZZzzz!

Before I call it a night though.. This. Is. The. Best!

Let It Go - Idina Menzel

The cold never bothered me anyway! :D

.

.

.

.

The cold does bother me. I much prefer being warm. Haha!

I Belong Under The Sun

Malacca, 2010

I also really like this photo. =)

A Little Shopping Might Help

I like this song, though I could do without the Twilight reference in the video.

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Today will be alright, it will. Right?

Haha

Sleep. Body sleep!

Christmas Present Idea Edition One

          You Are Coffee Scented Lotion

        

        You are an energetic and easily excitable person. You are brimming with enthusiasm.

You approach the world with curiosity and optimism. You look for opportunities and pounce on them.

You are naturally chatty, and most people find you to be quite entertaining. You are full of inspiration.

You like to give everything you do your all, whether you're working hard or really enjoying your off time.

    What Scent Lotion Are You?

     Blogthings: 100's of Fun, Free Quizzes and 3 Stupid Ones

P/s: Not that I really need more lotions.

Impulse

Itching to b*tch. Not that I should, but some things and certain people bother me. A lot. Then again, I've got so much to be thankful for, so why bother crossing over to the 'dark side' eh?!

Today is considered a good day. And if I had to pick something to complain about openly, it'll be how my weighing scale is telling me numbers that I am not particularly happy to see.

Fast Car - Boyce Avenue

Tomorrow feels like a dress day! =)

Seven Is An Odd Number

1. It's mommy's birthday today. Happy birthday Mommy, stay pretty, always! xx

2. Addictive! If you haven't already known, I'm very much a Kpop person. :D

Ringa Linga - Tae Yang

3. It's December already! Would you believe it? It's gonna be Christmas soon, and then a brand new year, and then I'm going to be older than a quarter of a century. Hm. Quarter life crisis.

4. I'm sorry I pretended not to see you.

5. "Miracles are miracles because they're not common".

6. Someone once told me that if you dreamt about being together with someone in your dreams (duh!), then you're fated to not be together in reality.

I wonder how much truth is there in it.

7. Have you told someone you love "I love you" today? Have you said "I miss you" to someone you are missing today?

What are you waiting for? =)

How? You Tell Me

How to not be attracted. You tell me how.

The Reply Me (1994 / 1997) series got me hooked for good. It's either something about the actors, though I think it has more to do with the earnesty the actors are delivering the storyline, the premise itself isn't as farfetched as most, and there's just this familiar feeling to the show. Maybe just how to whole thing fits.

My recently made famous words, "Go for it".

It's been drizzling all. day. long. Total cuddle weather.

I hope Monday has been kind to all you peeps! x

143

143 - Henry

Apparently 143 means I Love You. =)

I suspect I have shared the song above before, but every now and then when I hear it on the radio, it still tickles me, so no harm sharing it again.

It's one of those songs whereby when I wake up and it's playing on the radio, it sets the mood just right.

Happy week ahead all you people! x

Massive Headache

So this will be short.

It was a tiny insignificant crush I never quite paid attention to - but I vaguely remember the time when we had gone to NZ for one of the match race events and he sat across the table from us and tried to engage us in conversation like a good host, all sweet and kind and smiley.

Maybe that's why I've kinda sorta always had a soft spot for him. Haha. Glad he won it. =)

Watched Frozen, I reaaaally liked it! Then again, that's probably just me lah, I love cartoons/ animations and happy endings. And the songs were brilliant. Here's one of em'.

Let It Go - Demi Lovato

I went for a quick run this morning, and managed to sprain or twist my neck during my warm down. It hurts! And that's probably the cause of my headache.

Gonna sleep it off, goodnight world. =)

I Want To Dance

Odd but true. =)

Good dinner. Noms!

Decent week. On to the weekend.

Wanna catch Hunger Games and Frozen! 

Some Major B1A4 Crush

Humans. Are as fascinating as ever. Pick your battles wisely they say. We all do that, don't we?

They be cuuuuuuute! And they look like they are having fun, which simply makes it all the more adorable. :D

What's Happening 

Beautiful Target + O.K

I love you too! x

Open Your Heart - Anggun

My Baptism Speech | Testimony

Early this year (or rather at the end of last year), I sat down and reviewed the list of things I've accomplished in 2012 and started working on my 2013 resolutions. And the thing about resolutions is that more often than not, people don't follow through, the same goes for me. But I sat long and hard and came up with 10 things I definitely wanted to achieve, and item 6 on that list reads:

I've always felt "insecure" and inferior when it comes to matters about religion and that is mostly because I feel inadequate. Also, overly warm people scare me to death. 2013 will be a year in which I shall not be afraid of overly warm people, but I will do what I have to do.

So mainly the reason why I am here today is to fulfill my resolution, but that's not to say that it is the only reason. I grew up with this church, I attended Sunday School, kid's church and then due to conflicting schedules as I grew up, I grew apart too as a result. And while I always wanted to come back, I also always found a reason not to. You're not good enough, you don't know the Bible from head to toe, you don't memorize verses, you don't know 70% of the songs sang in church... And then it occurred to me that, no one is judging me, even with me as I am, Jesus Christ had died for me. He does not love my less because I take longer to flip through to Acts in the Bible during sermon, He loves me all the same. So what is stopping me?

And so, when the announcement about baptism class was made, I felt something thug at my heart. I was still unsure, there were a lot of what if's, but I went ahead anyway. I didn't know what to expect but now that I am here, I am actually surprised at how easy it was - no exam, no test on bible knowledge, no intensive 6 month crash course. Just a willing heart, and a clear mind.

That said, being baptized seems easy, but I know and we know that the difficult part is in living in His grace, everyday of my life from this moment on. I thank my family, my friends, the church elders and everyone who has helped me be here today, and I pray that you will continue to encourage me on this journey.

For those of you who missed it. x

Chilbongie

I'd like to have one please!

Answer Me 1994 fans would know what I'm talking about. :D

I hope he wins the girl in the end.

Incredibly

Incredibly tired.

Yet, incredibly thankful, incredibly grateful. And incredibly blessed.

Here's one with the baby cousin, Eng Li at dinner earlier to celebrate my grandpa's be-earlied 85th birthday!

Will You Be There In The Morning - Heart

That Girl, Who Is Me

Pretty sure I've got some residue of a splinter still in my foot which is slowly growing into a bigger bump each day. T__T

I should prolly have it checked at the clinic one of these days. Scared!

Finally went to Betty's Midwest for nommies! So much yums, that's also partially because I was deprived of well, non-halal food over the past 5 days since I landed in KT for the Monsoon Qualifiers (which they now call the Liga Layar Malaysia, Malaysian Sailing League if you wish).

The qualifiers in itself is a story, but I'm not going to bore you readers with details of my sailing technicalities, but for summary, it was good fun, and I learnt, a whole damn lot. We came back 6th of the 7 entries. We sailed a total of 15 races and we won 5 out of the 15 matches, which isn't too shabby.

A special shoutout to my crews, who made this possible, thank you. And to the organizers for a job well done. The biggest takeaway from this event would be that I've learnt to not take winning (or losing) too seriously. I've still got a looooong way to go, but hey, baby steps.

And considering that ultimately, to me, sailing is a hobby - something that I enjoy doing, it isn't something that I want to make into a career or say become a professional sailor, my own expectations have become more realistic, and that has made it much easier and clear cut about my goals and direction.

Work was mainly catching up on stuff, and we finally swapped our ancient desktops to sleek looking laptops. Exciting! Now I just need to figure out how to organize my table and what goes where and where goes what.

Will you journey with me?

Exciting days ahead.. =)

You Learn

It's really simple. Just like that.

On The Floor - J.Lo feat Pitbull

Once in awhile. It's okay.

Tuesday

Also Chocolate Sundae kinda day. Yums!



Energy levels are low. It's been depleting at a super rapid pace lately, no matter how much I recharge. It just goes empty so quickly. I need a power bank too.

I'm trying, I'm trying. I really am trying.

P/s: Cut me some slack, please.

Sunday Spells

Chocolate sundae. Imma go get some. =)

Back Off Monster

Today.

我好想你 - 蘇打綠

Word

"All of us gravitate towards things that mean something to us, and for most of us, that's people. But if people don't anchor meaning for you, then you seek something that does."

Blink. Page 224.

Teenage Drama

Too much unnecessary angst. I just seriously don't get it. Show, you've disappointed me. Pretty looks can only carry it this far.

My phone covers have finally arrived, that's one extra reason to look forward to tomorrow (actually, the only reason I have so far).

Lazy bum this morning, heard my alarm but decided to just snoozed my way through. So no run.

Wisdom tooth is hurting me. I want to have iced chocolate from Gloria Jeans tomorrow. Okay, so let's make that 2 reasons to look forward to tomorrow.

Yay me! In all seriousness. Better to have at least 2 measly reasons than none at all.

Can You Keep A Secret?

I vaguely remember Utada having a title track with those words. Here it is!

Can You Keep A Secret? - Utada Hikaru

Today is one of those odd days where nothing major went wrong, and also nothing minor went right. Probably the first day in which I actually asked myself, "What am I doing here? Just what exactly for?"

And I don't have an answer.

My annoyance with my day grew that much stronger when I had to wait for the bus to go back to main block to get my car which took aoens and I was feeding mozzies and the driver was a bl**dy assh*le who doesn't know how to drive properly.

Breathe Ai Li, breathe.

Gonna take a warm bath and get into prep mood for tomorrow afterwards. Maybe wake up early and go run too.

Thursday be kind!

Lavender Is A Pretty Purple

Maybe I should try finding work in Korea. And live in one of those attic houses which I can play deco with and hang out on the balcony at night.

Not that I can't do that here but the grass is always greener on the other side hey. Maybe the stars shine more brightly there.

Feeling a little under the weather again. What nonsense, as soon as there's a chance to rest, my body gets sick. Boo.

I feel like eating a Choco sundae, but I've been so sedentary the whole of today I doubt my body will appreciate the calories. Neither would I.

At least there's some good news today. Some light at the end of the tunnel. Hahaha! I wonder when my phone cases are gonna arrive. It's been way too long.

Thinking of all the pretty places I want to go to someday. =)

Think I Just Shot Myself In The Foot

"He reminds me of Sangnam's character.." That's what I had thought to myself. But what in the what is that! Not remotely fascinating. Brr.

That said.

X You - Avicii

Too cool.

The Simple Recipe

Righto!

Some reflection time, some personal space, prayer, cheerful supportive people and good advice from real adults - because I don't consider advice I give myself as adult advice, makes the world okay again. Oh, and coffee, one shall not forget coffee.

Not that I wouldn't have recovered from yesterday's episode, it just depended on how long it would've taken.

Which brings me back to my advice giving self (as mentioned earlier, this is the part which you have to always take with a pinch of salt), a lot of things in life, the more you think about it, the more you feel like you're at a dead end.

Sometimes, it pays to take a step back, breathe, let others help you and then approach the situation again. If all else fails, don't worry, just give it another shot. Try a different method. Or change your perspective.

Nothing can be so bad except for the fact that you're really hungry but you don't have anything to eat.

Happy Saturday you all.

Show

Why do you have to break my heart.

And today is probably the day that nothing really goes quite well for me hey. Shucks.

Life goes on. TGIF.

The Day I Forgot My Water Bottle

Also the day I got angry. Also the day I had to rush like mad. Also the day I told myself, you'll just have to work some over the weekend. Also the day I felt like I had grown a little.

In actual fact, there are many days like today.

Can't say I'm happy with the amount of things I need to get done. The list seems neverending to me right now. At work, at home, personal goals.. No. End.

Shouldn't be complaining though. Consider yourself blessed and fortunate is what I've been repeatedly telling myself. Yup, sooner or later I'll buy into it.

Also the day I realize crushes don't just fade away.

I Just Call You Mine

Martina McBride

Not in the mood for words tonight. But hey! =)

Sick And Tired, And A Little Sad

I've been unwell, and occupied, and that's to explain the lack of updates.

Bad hair day. That's self explanatory as well.

I'm feeling conflicted? Sad? Indifferent? Sick definitely.

Probably just the weakened state of my being, coupled with my total dislike for pain. Throat is killing me, and of which I am already taking medication for, but it still bloooody hurts. =(

I wanna cry.

Feeling a little hypocritical too. I don't know. Crying just might help me thinks. Okay, can't help it.

Good long shower will (hopefully) help. 

P/s: I'll miss you, too. Have fun in heaven, and please keep watch over them, forever and always.

Ninja! Ninja! Ninja!

That's completely random. I don't even know how ninja's came about, just that it sounds cool. :D

10km's - checked! Can't say I am proud of my time, but I'm glad I finished nonetheless.

Achy!

And I'm semi whiny. Contemplating if I should have coffee now.

Blogthings: 100's of Fun, Free Quizzes and 3 Stupid Ones

We are at the tail end of October already. Soon, 2013 will be over.. if you've got anything that you've set out to do but have not done, you've still got some time left.

In the meantime, smile - it's important!

It's A Slow Saturday

I had my own little version of Heirs drama unfolding in my dreams last night / this morning. It was kinda cute.

My nail cracked again. Gah. And my 10km run is tomorrow. And I'm just lazy.

I probably have some stuff to sort out, I'll get to them.

In a bit.

Why Do You Lie?

Hmmmmmm. It's 10 already, it was 8 just awhile ago. Likewise, it's Friday tomorrow already, it was just Monday, like yesterday. But it's funny because when at work, time goes by incredibly slowly.

I want to go to some place pretty. Peaceful. Without any distractions. Just a good book, fresh air, hot coffee would be a bonus. No TV, no internet connection, no data, no cellphone.

It'd be best if I could somehow still read recaps of episode 6 of Heirs though. Can't say I'm invested in the show still. But there's a lot of cute. Well, eye candy cute and cute banter, and moments. But it seems like it's about to get nasty and I don't like nasty, but they've got a story to tell otherwise there won't be a show.

I don't have thoughts tonight. At least none that I can think of right now.

Drinking From The Bottle - Calvin Harris feat Tinie Tempah

We live, we die, we give, we try, we kiss, we fight, also we can have a good time!

愛 | Love

Plus the 理. And that's my name.

I think I have a cut at my middle toe on my right foot. It hurts a whole lot. =(

I be a fatty bom bom. Ate so much food at dinner, it's not funny. I've always loved hanging out with these two people. They make up for a strong part of my support system.

Had my hair cut to rectify the mess from yesterday. It's decent! And I sorta like this new place - Derrick and Team in Telawi. RM100 for cut, wash and treatment. And I didn't have to wait. And the people were really nice. It's another good instance of not judging a book by its cover. =)

一切都是因為愛 - 倪安東

I just checked in the mirror though, both sides are still not exactly the same length, bah, why oh why! But it's acceptable. I suppose, not gonna find fault with it no more. I've got better things in life to fret about. =)

10km's this Sunday. Hahaha, best of luck to me, I am so gonna need it. Hope my toe feels better before then too. Still trying to figure how I could've gotten a cut there.

Tired. In a good way.

There's No Wrong, It's Just Port

If you saw that coming, well done genius! :P

RAWR.

On that same note, today was more lousy than good. Here's why.

I tried to be smartass way too many times today and too many times, things backfired on me. The shit I say sometimes. Assholes don't deserve my time, neither do people who can't be bothered to ask nicely and expect me to help them. And I'm disappointed at myself for feeling so negatively so strongly about this particular human being whose identity I don't even know for sure. And I'm also disturbed because I said I'll pass the word around when I really don't want to, and won't. And also for being a cheapo by paying RM10 for a haircut at Aeon Big's "salon" which now seems somewhat imbalance to me. I am gonna do a test tomorrow to see if anyone notices anything off, if yes, it's a call to make an appointment at an actual salon. And there goes more money. My skin is also peeling (flaking more like it) and it's gross. And for lousy coffee (or is it just me today?), which I hope won't keep me awake tonight or I might kill someone.

The good though, at least the RM10 haircut left me with decent bangs, so I suppose it's not too bad. That's highly likely the only good thing to be honest. Bah.

Hahaha. Ohwell, it's a good thing I'm rather resilient. Life goes on. 

There's No Right, It's Just Starboard

Symbiosis. Means "leeching" off one another but each to its own gain. Somewhat.

I think I much prefer symbiosis to sacrificing, or even tolerating per say. Because the latter two basically means one party loses out on the relationship. Most functional relationship (or interaction for that matter) is based on how good the symbiotic relationship gets.

Think there's a high risk my piercings on the right ear is infected. It's itchy like mad. /scratch /scratch

I know what color best describes me now - dirty brown. And I'm not exactly proud of it. It's dirty after all.

Long work week ahead, it'll be good - I'm not gonna let it be otherwise.

Life of The Rich & Famous

Not. (The continuation of the Heirs effect.)

It's easy to assume, and I see how people can be misled. But ohwell. There's more to what meets the eye. And if you can't get beyond that, too bad. Your loss.

Frankly speaking. I am absolutely unapologetic for who I am or, what I am, and for that matter, of what I am capable of doing.

If today isn't considered a good day, I don't know what day would. =))

My Love - Lee Sung Chul

So sweet. Read.

A girl can dream. And she will.

Jeremy said I lost weight when he saw me today! *happy dance* I reckon I was plenty cool today too - as I am pretty much every other day, so long I don't beat myself up unnecessarily.

Shazam > Soundhound anytime, any day.

Man in Love - Infinite; 0330 - UKISS; 1-4-3 - Henry; 我好想你 - 蘇打綠; Gotta Talk To You - Seungri. All songs identified via Shazam goodness today.

If I don't want to talk to you, I won't.

You're Gonna Hear Me Roar

It's a bit late. And I should really be in bed. However, I have tonnes going through my mind, and they're all scattered in every direction possible. So much so that I can't even begin to write them down in my little trusty notebook.

Trying to sleep would just not cut it. So I might as well just tire myself out completely and then head to bed.

I'm not exactly complaining though, please don't get me wrong. I'm just doing what works for me. And this does somewhat.

It was a long day today yesterday. In a roundabout kinda manner - it was good for awhile, then bad, then bad for awhile more, and then good. And then bad and then good. And then good again and then bad. And then it was good again. It just went on and on.

If I were left to my own devices, I reckon I would be a danger to myself. I was this close to getting my ears pierced again, and this time, the jeweller said," But we don't do piercings for the top of the ear." After all the deliberation whether or not to step into the freaking shop. Strange but ohwell, I walked out without causing any bodily harm to myself. I can't tell if I was relieved or disappointed.

The day I eventually get my ears pierced again, it would be worth celebrating. Or not.

I'm still watching Heirs. Despite me still being unimpressed about the plot, the story is picking up. My only real fascination with the show for now would be the fact that there can be such gorgeous looking people all in one vicinity!

Sailing over the weekend and I've yet to pack my bag or organize things thoroughly. Let's hope for some fair weather. I've got new socks, bought them at a discounted price. And I managed to smile my way through some glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Those are going around for some sharing tomorrow today.

Since I've decided to take things in stride anyway, I might as well just enjoy the journey. Whether it'll turn out good or not, we'll see. I echo my inner thoughts: Come what may. Bring it on.

Roar - Katy Perry

Cause I am a champion. Have a great weekend everyone!

Okay

Okay.

Worlds Apart

When I say that, it's not to console any party. It's stating a fact merely.

This week is full on birthdays and meetups and whatnot. Tiring but hey, all worth while. Happy birthday all Oct babies!

That's not to say that I'm not tired though. I am.

So much to do, so much to do. Are the decisions right? Are my choices correct?

Am I thinking right?

Still

Still - Hillsong

I hadn't had enough sleep, that one is for sure. But, my body seems to be recovering well. Yay! Also, Aloe Vera gel can be applied to the scalp.. I tried it yesterday after all. And me thinks it was a brilliant move.

I am gonna call it an early night, sweet dreams y'all! /love

Pain Is Essential

It's hurting all over. I am hurting all over..

My muscles (or the lack of muscles) are all sore. I'm not red in terms of sunburn but I am sunburnt - just brown in a very non fashionably manner. Think dip dye kinda brown from my sleeve, to my watch band, to my gloves, to the tip of my open finger gloves.

And I've got a case of batman tan too. Them shades. Bah.

And my scalp is on fire too. Because I hadn't want my Zhik cap to go diving. And I can't put aloe on my scalp can I?!

Nuff' of complaining, not that I was actually complaining. It was a good weekend. A well spent one. Except that I am in pain. Thank God that we're off tomorrow. Recovery Tuesday.

Watched episode 2 of Heirs. Is it me or does the show really make no sense? 0__o

I am getting a little frustrated at myself for wanting to continue following it but thinking that it's a utter waste of my brain power. It's seriously just for the eye candy.

Gotta get organized because all this unorganization is not doing me any good whatsoever.

Selamat Hari Raya to those celebrating the festivities and to everyone else, happy holidays!

Who Are You? It's Me

// Scheduled post. //

It's Me - Kahi

Now, THAT is some serious abs. #abenvy T___T

I've always liked Kahi. She was my favourite from After School, which is why I am not particularly surprised that they don't seem to be doing too well after her departure. UEE comes in second (only because I really liked her in Ojakgyo Brothers).

I can hardly understand the lyrics, nor do I really want to understand the meaning behind "I'm so bad girl, I'm so cool girl, I'm so sexy sexy sexy girl", but I do like the sound of it.

And the music video is preeettty! Everything about it 'fits', if you get what I am trying to say - the backdrop, the fashion, the cinematography, the air in which Kahi holds it all together with such ease.

Some serious Kahi love. And even more serious is my abs envy.

It's Time That You Won

Cabbage, Enoki mushrooms, egg, garlic and and a packet of instant noodles. That's all it takes a masterchef to cook up a storm! Noms.. Okay, fine. So it was a decent meal put together with whatever I had in the fridge, it was seriously pretty nomtastic nonetheless.

I could so live on my own and not starve to death.

So I will be spending the weekend in Thailand, Pattaya more specifically for some fun under the sun. Wheeee, here we go. Heh, all in the name of carpe diem and YOLO. I hope it'll be good. Maybe I'll be back with some battle scars, but as long as it's worth it, and they usually are.

So Heirs premiered, and it is all eye candy! But meh, is that really it? I don't know. I'd probably still follow it, purely for its aesthetic purpose, though I do hope the story picks up to make it a little less like I am wasting my time.

Got my new S4 too yay! And it came with Dropbox installed and I am automatically a Dropbox Guru now, 48GB of bonus space. So much win. Gotta be smarter now, can't be outdone by my phone can I.

I've got some things to settle tonight. And I've also realized that I'm not really for multitasking. Rather, when I get pre-occupied with thoughts, I seriously can mess up the simplest of tasks. Leading to many funny instances.

So ultimately, my best friend, would be a to do list. Keeps me organized, keeps me in check, ensures I do all that is necessary, and ultimately leads me to achieving my goals!

Memories. Good old memories. But that's exactly what they are. And that's exactly what they should be.

If you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for anything. Sucker Punch
Be hurt, the world can take it. No Strings Attached

Enjoy whatever whenever! =)

Let's Be Kind

Life's a game made for everyone, and love is the prize. Wake Me Up - Avicii feat Aloc Blacc.

Everyday is full of surprises. Sometimes good ones, sometimes bad ones, unfortunately we don't get to pick which surprises we'll get because otherwise it ain't no surprise right!

Today, I was surprised (more amused than surprised actually), at how absurd people can be. They can be so ridiculously absurd, and I don't mean the good kind, so much so that my entire being just refuses to see the good left in them.

But anyway, the most surprising thing today was how the best advice came from an unexpected person. You know who you are lah. (y) /love

Also, in the name of some acronym fun, here are some that were created today: BPP (B pi pee), KIV (Kay IV), IV's DV, M&M (mommy's monster).

Today, this evening rather, will be all about drawing up my pro's and con's to certain decisions I need to make.

I spent a good 10 minutes drawing that on Paint, not too shabby eh. Pretty pastels. =)

Topics to include would be: Platu event 12th & 13th of Oct in Pattaya, to leave or not to leave, to splurge on Pilates or not to splurge, to push for leisure sail on the 19th or not to, to fit diving into the days before Langkawi or not to.

These are all good dilemmas at least, so all's good! :D

A Little More Like Me, A Little Less Like You

Brain is on an overdrive, in the good sense. It's like I'm bursting with enthusiasm as we speak. Strange, because even I'm not too sure what exactly am I excited about, but of course, there are reasons, just can't quite put my finger on it.

Guess the crappy bugs have gone away, for now at least. =))

Email frenzy to commence in a little bit. Tummy behave. It was all nice and calm. The motions set in place. And then you come along. Again! I'm not complaining. Not exactly.

Wake Me Up - Birdy

NooOOooOoo! There's actually a cover of this by her, I am in a disbelief! I can't tell if I like this or not actually. It was a fun, upbeat song with Avicii's version. Birdy just made it sad, like really sad and painful. But I suppose it kinda works too. Sorta. No?

Also, I finally had my facial today. My face feels ultra clean. That aside, facial today was definitely one of the best facials I've done. Mostly because the shoulder massage was awesome, and also because they've also resorted to giving hand massages too! Guess they finally figured that they needed to do something to counterbalance all that extraction pain.

My favourite part of facials is the massage. My least favourite part of it ironically is, the facial itself. Hahaha.

Can you tell? 

Love Is More Than That

It's x-th day of feeling a little bit emo, a little bit down, a little bit clueless, a little bit helpless.

Today was better than yesterday in many ways though. Up level. =)

Message at sermon today to love by action and by living a life of truly loving was a good reminder. Sailing was good, as it always is. But you add on meeting new friends and winning races, it's just doubly good. And marmite sotong dinner with the kawans was fantastic.

Maybe I am just tired and need good rest.

My fingernail (specifically my middle finger on my right hand) has been cracking non-stop. It's already mega short, any shorter means my flesh underneath the nail would be exposed. Ouchie. The funny thing though is that it is the only finger which such issue.

I wonder if I may have injured it or something and therefore it's not functioning properly, ie, not sending enough nutrients to my fingernail. Possible?

I really hope I get teman to join Pilatique, it's mahal to join alone, and it's always nice to have a friend come along. Accountability and motivation.

Think I may be a little bit dehydrated too. Downing h2o and then heading to bed.

Have a great week ahead you all, love lots.

You Keep Proving Me Right

Time and time again.

When all I had hoped for, was for me to be wrong, even if it was just for once.

I Swear? Or Underwear?

I Swear - All 4 One

So those of us who followed the Master's Sun series, we had our cute, happy ending yeah! Pleased as a punch me. I'd usually feel a little lost after the end of a series that I follow religiously, but somehow, this one is a little different.. Maybe because Heirs is taking over so it's not that big of a void. =P

Ate too much for dinner, yummy food nonetheless! Om nom nom.. Avocado lassi was two thumbs up!

How we respond in any given situation or towards any person highly determines (I'm talking maybe 90%) how the situation continues to unfold, or how the person reacts back. So always think about the part that you play, always.

Underwear - Minions

Tired, stuffed, sleepy, pleased. TGIF!

Don't Go Chasing

I will be needing a planner for 2014 sooooon-ish a.s.a.p.!

Power grids and bottle caps remind me of you. "Cold showers after PT is good for you" reminds me of you. Kim Jong Kook reminds me of you.

Need a haircut, and a facial. This week is kinda packed already though. Maybe next week. A mani and pedi would be nice too, maybe the following weekend.

Clearing off things I never use in my room. The dust accumulated. Is incredible. /cough

With reference to the topic, I was reading a book over the course of my Bangkok trip and it occurred to me that chasing after things, or people for that matter is futile and redundant. Of course, there will be people who will have something to say about this, but if you don't share my sentiments, it is perfectly fine with me. Happy chasing, if that's what makes you happy.

Waterfalls - TLC

Knackered from the lack of sleep and traveling. Not that I am complaining. I'm already itching to take flight again, but please no crying babies on flights, or on buses for that matter.

I'm a good kid, but not a great one. Yet. Brainstorming ways to be better version of my current self, not in the famous diva sense, but you know what I mean.

Step one, would be to live today as if tomorrow won't come, includes saying and doing all that matters TODAY. Step two, would be to stop chasing, and just be. Third, to not get angry at people or events that are trivial and won't make a difference in my life. Baby steps.

Yours?

All You Never Say

All You Never Say - Birdy

I can't tell if I've gained weight or if I've lost some. All the nom-ing going on versus all the walking. Which has more affect I wonder. I sure hope it's the walking.

Still have the 10km's to survive in a couple of weeks. My pants feel tighter. Muscle mass gained? Hahaha!

I caught myself thinking over the past few days - What if I hadn't been born with a (relatively) pretty face, what if... Life would most certainly be a lot different, but different how, I guess I wouldn't know for sure.

Home bound today, early morning flights and midnight flights are a pain. No crying babies please pretty please.

Bangkok, you will be missed.

Sawadeeka

It's my day 3 here in Bangkok.

I'll be back home tomorrow / Wednesday morning.

A special shoutout(s) to some friends:

Congratulations on your win boys! =))

And may the both of you be happy together forever, and live happily ever after. Arguments are bound to occur, non-physical fights, clashes in opinions and thoughts, but I pray that all of that will make your relationship that much stronger. /heart

Off to have my mango sticky rice breakfast with coffee followed by more shopping later (when my mom eventually gets her ass of the bed). 

I hope all you folks have been good over the weekend, and here's to a great week ahead.

Ready Steady Go

For starters, let's rewind back to a couple of days.

Wednesday - This day, I felt iffy. Iffy in the sense that I didn't feel right. If I had to explain that feeling in words or actions, it would be similar to me wanting to cut my hair off. Something like that. I'm glad I didn't go with it nonetheless. Also the day Oracle beat Emirates Team New Zealand (in Malaysian time).

Thursday - Was green tea latte day. Yay me. But there were still moments in which I asked myself if I'm being the best I can, and doing the best I can. To not be judgemental, to not be impatient, to not be defensive. I felt like I tried but was not trying hard enough.

So now we come to Friday, first up, thank God it's Friday. =))

There are many times when I come to conclusion that I much rather be alone. It's easier that way I tell myself. I just need plan my own time, do my things, at my own pace. Sorta kinda.

I'm not saying that I don't need friends or family, they're essential don't get me wrong. I suppose it's just what kind of relationship you end up having with people that matters. Now it sounds as though I've got some attachment issues hey?

Ready Steady Go - Paul Oakenfold

Maybe that's just it.

There was some grave news today at work too, a student had gotten into an accident and had lost his life. It's sad. It really is. You never know what might happen tomorrow, or in the next second.

So as always, but more so now than ever, cherish all that you've got, say all that you've got to say and be earnest about the things you do. Don't waste time and effort doing things that won't matter. Don't hurt people just because. Do what you know is right, even if it may not be the easiest thing to do. Be truthful, be kind, and live and let live.

Happy Friday you all, and have a great weekend.

Am I Tired Enough For A Cuppa?

Let Her Go - Passenger

Pretty sure I've shared this before too, but it's the tune of the night.

Clarification: I had meant that if I were to have a nice warm cup of coffee now, would I still manage to sleep just fine tonight. Otherwise, it's no point risking sleep.

Funny turn of events today. Nice people make my days that much better. 

Look At The Stars, Look How They Shine For You

Yellow - Coldplay

This, my dear friends, is one of my all time favourite. =))

I am contemplating whether or not to wash my hair again. Simple evening. Watch some AC action on youtube, sort my folders, and dream time. Just the way I like it.

I wonder if there's such a thing as a dream date - as in, you date in your dream and have your happily ever after and wake up to reality feeling happy. A real dream date dream date would be cool too of course!

Everyone has a secret they can't tell. 

I Wonder

If you remember your promise. I am tempted to say it straight to you that if ever a day comes when the promise can no longer be fulfilled, that you can tell me honestly, so that I won't allow myself to look forward to the eventual day. But I'm also scared that by doing just that, the promise never gets fulfilled.

And after all that, I wonder if we even did pinky promise the whole deal.

Or I merely conjured it all in my head. #goldfishmemory

Because It's Sunday Night

My brains are still on a break and have yet to return to me.

The message at sermon today was strong. A reminder to love God the one and only, and to love your neighbours as you love yourself.

Thank You Lord - Don Moen

Two things you probably never realized as you transitioned into adulthood. We gradually started using pens and left our pencil days in primary school. We gradually outgrew velcro type wallets and moved onto ones that can hold at least a couple of cards.

No race to watch today, postponement again.

I end this post with two questions.

1. What is your calling?
2. And, how much are you willing to suffer for others?

Questions I ask myself too as I drift into slumber. 

Maybe I'll Have A Teensy Bit of Ice Cream

Aww man, I'm 58 minutes into the replay of Race 13 of the AC and I am feeling real sad for the Kiwis. =/

Two side points. Boss asked me if I was following the America's Cup today and that conversation sure took me by surprise. Having thought about it though, it does makes sense that he's watching it. Point 2 - I know I've said how I don't ever want to date a sailor no more, but, I am thinking it's gonna be tough to not date a sailor.

It's just one of those things.

Since I've already paused the clip.. Funny how I had already read race recaps before watching it and already knew the outcome anyway but yet watching it now makes me feel even sorrier about the race. Maybe it's because you actually see the crew putting in all that effort to finish the race and you know that they're not gonna make it. BAH. I've been there, done that (albeit on a much much much smaller scaled race), it sucks.

I think I may have just sat there and cried, if it were me. Complete with, "I'm just gonna quit", but that explains why I not at that level and instead sitting here writing this. Of course, that's just me putting it plainly. There's more serious and realistic reasons as to why I'll never make it that far in this sport.

But ohwell. It's not always about me hey.

Psych challenge 2013 ended well. "It's a wrap!" is what I had in my mind when all the winners were announced. :D

I actually hadn't done much but being a part of it still made me feel happy and proud. This is exactly what we coin as basking in reflected glory. I do remember some things I learnt in my degree.

I'm tired, and feeling mildly under the weather. My effing wisdom tooth is still hurting, I had kept to chewing food with the right set of my teeth (so to speak) but I think that has taken a toll too because I've now got an ulcer on the right side from biting myself too many times. -__-

In any case, all's well ends well. Saturday has been great, I must say. =))

When You've Done What You Can

And have given it your best shot.

Turns out, Master's Sun has such a huge fan base. =)) Can't believe it's gonna be another week before the next episode. Well, at least something to look forward to to the next week .

Not counting calories today. Confirm exceed.

Psych Challenge tomorrow, we're all set. Or at least we've done our prep as best as we can. If any issue is to arise, we'll just wing it. I'm pretty confident we'll manage just fine.

It's starting to dawn on me that I'm not going to be part of this team for much longer. It's definitely one of the best teams I've been a part of, everyone compliments everyone. That's what a team is all about.

No Matter What - Seo In Guk

You've got a reason to smile because, you know you've done your best! #tgif

Of Flower Pots & Flower

I want to talk to you, but I don't want to talk to you.

I'm incredibly tired. And my body is aching, strangely though, it's more my upper back than my legs.

Got my contact lenses. We're all set to conquer the world now. Hehehe!

I miss my brothers.

Wise Men Say, Only Fools Rush In

Can't Help Falling In Love - UB40

I'm totally recovered from yesterday's lousy mood. Sorta. =)

Though I do have an amendment I'd like to make. I mentioned in yesterday's post that "not feeling like the brightest of bulbs was already getting to me", in all honestly, I have never felt that I am the brightest bulb, what I had meant to convey was that I felt like I was below my own average. Which really sucked.

But ohwells, all is good now. =)

Lengthy post ahead because I seem to have quite a number of thoughts today.

People say a girl can dream hey.. I would like my future wedding to be by the beach, where I'd wear a pretty (but simple) flowy white wedding dress, like this, or this, or this. With pretty gold/ bronze flip flops. Ahahaha! And my guests can wear flip flops too because I've always wondered what goes through people's minds when they wear any form of heels to the beach. Hello? Sand -> heels -> sink. How to walk?

And I'd like to be holding a bouquet of Baby's Breath, click here and here. So pretty! =)

I would pray and hope that it wouldn't rain on my wedding day, considering it's redundant to have tents built for a beachside wedding. But if it does indeed rain, I'll probably ban umbrellas because 1, umbrellas always get in the way and 2, for some strange reason, umbrellas remind me of funerals. So I'll probably have colorful raincoats ready. And my guests can wear rain boots or something of that sort. Hahaha.

As for the groom, well, that I haven't given much thought because of all things, that's the one thing that I probably wouldn't have any control over. I wouldn't be picky about the beach either, but I'd obviously like it to be somewhat secluded and clean. I can't imagine (yet) that the wedding would be overseas because I think it would costs a bomb to fly all my favourite people to the location and pay for their stay, though a girl can dream, but I'll be realistic to this point. So a nice quiet, clean and cozy beach within Malaysia would do. For the time being.

And I can tell you now that if and when that day really comes, and you do get an invite, you are a very important person to me. And that would be the reason you're invited.

Wedding hallucinations dreams aside, my wisdom tooth is hurting, again. Gahh. And no, I'm not going to the dentist for it because it'll be the same old just-extract-it-once-and-for-all and you'll never have to bear the pain again. No thank you, I'll bear with the pain, thanks very much.

Also, I did wake up to go jog this morning. Plus minus 30 minutes all in all. My legs wanted to die. Heh. My knee actually hurt at one point, so I stopped and walked and then I felt like I was being lazy so I jogged again. I wonder how I'll survive the 10km. Maybe I should really try the sticky tape thing, a friend recommended it to me saying that it actually helps prevent soreness when you run long(ish) distances. But it's so expensive!

Tummy feels a little weird. Probably wasn't a wise decision to have that iced latte and that mushroom aglio together hmm. My hair is actually quite long now, and I am toying with the idea of keeping it till December and then dip dying the ends with some funky ass color since I'd be free to do so by the end of the year. I'd accept sponsorship. How about, if you'll pay for it, I'll color it whatever color you will. Okay. On second thoughts, maybe not.

Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. =))

Fall in love with me? Please pretty please. Hahaha.

Haha, Not The Best Day Of My Life

Not feeling like the brightest of bulbs was already getting to me. And of course from then on a string of other events happen and it just goes down down down. And then Microsoft decides to crash on me too. As it is, tech savvy-ness isn't my forte. I just wanna cry. Oh wait. I've already done that. I guess I just have to tell myself that the world isn't ending. Nor am I dying. Nor are my troubles too big to handle. I just need to get over it hey? I'll probably lug my laptop back to the shop one of these days, whenever that is. The attempt is to wake up early, and go run it off and hopefully knock some sense back into myself.

Goodnight world.

A Monday That Feels Like A Sunday

My Bali post seems to be getting quite a bit of hits, actually.

I'm not difficult to please, but I've got pet peeves too. I don't particularly like waiting for people. So I try not to be late, though I'm still not very good at it. I don't like people saying they're sorry all the time. I don't like people forcing their thoughts, views or opinions on me. I don't like rude and/or mean drivers on the roads. I don't like it when my freshly done manicure gets all smudgy.

I signed up for a 10km run coming Oct, what was I thinking. Having to actually run it aside, I just realized I don't really have much time to train for it. Most weekends leading to the run is actually occupied already, leaves me with practically no time to practice!

9 things we need to just be honest about already. Ditto!

Looks like it's gonna be busy stress busy stress for the next couple of weeks, but fear not, I have A WHOLE EHD WORTH OF DRAMAS TO WATCH! /glee Thank you you!

I'm already slowly starting to work on things I wanna accomplish next year, too soon? Should I keep my bangs? I'm undecided.

Last but not least, Happy birthday Malaysia! =)

Gone, Gone, Gone

Gone, Gone, Gone - Phillip Phillips

Heartwarming.

If Tomorrow Is The Day I End Up In Heaven

I was never one for the rainy weather. Yes, it's nice and refreshing and all, but it always makes me feel a little sad. A little lonely. Maybe due to the simple fact that more often than not, rain confines people.

Probably the only time I actually like the rain is when I need to cry. Are those tears yours? Nope, they're raindrops.

I much prefer sunshiny days. I can go out and be happy and well, just be. =)) #justsoyouknow

P/s: I still miss you.

I'm Giddy From All The Cute

"Joo Joong Won, Joo Joong Two, Joo Joong Three.." Master's Sun (2013). That's all it takes. That one thing. The right thing. From that one person.

Such an adorable show. I'm hooked.

The premise initially didn't interest me - with our heroine seeing ghosts and the usual-chaebol-prince who has the-usual-dramaland-problems. But I happened to read one episode, or was it having seen one particular screenshot..?? Either or. And that's how I got started.

If you've been following my blog for a while, you'd know that I have the habit of reading dramas instead of watching them. I read recaps of episodes on Dramabeans, the best thing I've stumbled upon on the worldwideweb, sans Google that is.

Bali travel buddy - her name is Wai Li and mine's Ai Li. 

Speaking of today, I don't feel too swell actually. Think I am getting slightly feverish. Boo hoo. And the throat hurts.

Stinky feet. But I wasn't even wearing my closed toe pumps today. Rawr. It'd Friday tomorrow anyway, and a long weekend for those of us in Malaysia.

Hope I get better soon! =))

That Wednesday Kind Of Love

That Wednesday Kind Of Love

ThoughtCatalog once more.

And so, that's what Wednesday are like. =)

Something Doesn't Feel Quite Right

I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Sneeze, sneeze. Is it you?

Least nothing is wrong either hey. That's a consolation. =)

Take A Step Back

Salvation Belongs To Our God

Let's see. Yesterday, I went to church and then went sailing. And I successfully did a couple of things wrong. One, I left my crew to go out to sea without me onboard. Two, I decided, let's just sail this when I knew the boat wasn't exactly fully prepped, and that caused the bump on my head now - from hitting the boom because it was lower than usual and I overestimated my height (when else can I actually say such a thing right)!

But all that aside, it was a nice cold sail, we had fun. I think. I had fun to say the least.

And then we had myBurgerLab in Seapark for dinner and then I met a friend for supper. Verdicts: Yay for BurgerLab's burgers and fries and dip, nay for the queue and nay for the long wait. And Devi's corner has pretty decent Teh Halia. Oh loves.

Let Us Exalt His Name Together Forever

So all in all, Sunday was good. =))

It's been rainy heys! Let's play word association for awhile.

Monday morning. Stay in bed. Coffee. Late. Blue skies. Car. Traffic. Park. People. Music. Youshouldn'thavedonethat. Funny. Rain. Glowing. Pumpkin. Spinach. Coffee. Work. Touch Love. Rain. Safe and Sound. Cold. White duvet. Stretch. Daydream. Cream cheese bun. America's Cup. Woots woots!

At some point, it didn't make sense no more.

I made dinner - cabbage soup and pan fried broccoli. Hahaha. I did say foolproof dishes! But I didn't eat much, because I wasn't hungry to begin with. It's just that my vegetables are gonna rot in the fridge if I had left it still.

That's it pretty much, have a great week ahead! #totalcuddleweather

Good Morning Saturday

This wasn't quite what I envisioned my Saturday morning to be. My idea of sleeping in was to really sleep in. But I guess a part of being a *cough* grown up is, waking up automatically in the mornings even if it's meant to be a sleep in weekend.

To this tune.

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

The ultimate feel good song! Makes me wanna pack up my bags and go somewhere. Badly. But not in the bad sense though, I just don't know how to explain it.

Dry dry lips. Someone once said kissing helps. And Reader's Digest even tells you the 5 benefits of kissing. Hmmmm.

Have quite a bit to do today, now I just got to sort out my timings and priorities. Cue to my to-do-list! =))

Awesome Saturday all you folks!

And It Only Gets Funkier

Organic Hojicha Chai. Roasted Green Tea with spices. Smells good, haven't tasted it yet. Instruction said to brew it for 4 minutes.. which would be right about now.

Hmm. I probably still prefer the taste of brown rice green tea.

I am likened to believe that all things happen for a reason, whether good or bad. We may not know it, but that's because we're not meant to know all things!

Put in some extra hours again today, which turned out to be a smart move because I can proudly say that my work week ended on a awesomely good note.

My face does need some rescue work though. Breakouts are all over and my fingers keep itching to poke my pimples. And sailing this Sunday means more sun exposure.

But who am I kidding. Fun-under-the-sun trumps facial breakouts, anytime anyday!

So, I was starving when we finally left work and was thinking of treating myself to some icecream since this week has been such a good run. But I ended up sticking to my cherry tomatoes with Mizkan sesame dressing with extra sesame.

Not bad eh? ;)

My room smells a tad funny. And I can't seem to trace where the smell is coming from. I hope that it's not gonna keep me awake tonight..

Neways, a great weekend to all you peeps! Sending love to all..

Thank You's That Are Due

Dear Lord, thank you for today. Thank you for showing me grace and how to respond to unkind people of sorts. And thank you for showing me that being the better person will not only make a difficult moment pass more quickly, but that it also ultimately leads to my own happiness too.

I was a pescetarian today. Had fish paste noodles for lunch. I reckon I could stick to this diet for much longer. I feel healthier. Now all I need it to throw in some form of exercise. Plus, being vegetarian / pescetarian really isn't all that hard!

Sometimes, when you want to prove a point, is it to prove it to yourself? Or is it a show for others? Ask yourself that question first. Because then it determines how you act in a given situation.

Sneezed. Twice again today. Who's that!

Sleeeeepy! ZZzzZzzzZ, and it's Friday tomorrow! =))

Dear Darling, Please Excuse My Writing

Dear Darlin' - Olly Murs

Another good day to say the least. Productive at work again, although it was only because I put in extra hours today. I wonder if it's because I'm coming close to the end of it that I feel things are getting easier and easier to do. Hm.

Sneezed. Twice. Who there?? Fess up.

I was torn between Dear Darlin' and Roar. Both are equally entertaining tunes.

Roar - Katy Perry

So why not just share and listen to both. There's a third too actually, Avicii - Wake Me Up. But three is too much of a crowd.

Coffee before bed last night was a terrible idea. So I learn. Today, it's icecream and organic brown rice green tea. Woot woot! Nothing makes a happy girl happier, with the exception for icecream. :D

You're gonna hear me roooooar!
