In many ways.
My pants is getting really tight. All these nommies is not helping with the weight loss progress. RAWR! But dinner was yums. Hee. I'll just run it off tomorrow lah.
I left my Burt's Bee lip balmie in the office. Grr. Which means I'd need to open my new one for the weekend in Singapore because who travels without a good lip balm!
I am tempted to color my hair but I probably shouldn't considering it is just fine as it is right now. Itchy fingers. And I feel the need to be a little experimental.
It's okay. I just need to keep telling myself that.
I am sorry if I came across as mean. It really wasn't my intention. See, I don't generally want to inflict pain unto others even though sometimes they are asking for it (seriously) but I do feel bad when it wasn't my intention to do so and people still feel so.
And because I hate hearing apologies, I try to limit myself from saying it just for the sake of saying it. People take "sorry's" so lightly nowadays, they just say it to rid themselves of guilt, or to get away from being responsible. But that's not what it is.
You say sorry when you did something wrong, and when you really mean it. Then that's when you should that you're sorry.
Okay. End of rant. I don't even know how I got there but nevermind.
It's the long weekend, and I am excited! :D

Two Thumbs Up
I think I overate. Nope, I am positive I did overeat today. Consistently peckish. Om nom nom fest. I shan't weigh myself tomorrow.
Just found out today that my target weight for matchrace is 50kg's. I suppose that would be good motivation to workout more. And then 2 more kg's to shed to get to my ideal weight.
Hmmm. Doggie was super manja today. So cute.
Thankful for being alive today. You?

How Was Your Tuesday?
I reckon all Tuesday's should be more like today. Simple, and nice. =)
At some point in time, I got greedy. That's why things went a little bit haywire, at least on my own account it did. But now that I've decided, "Screw greediness", I am back to being my ever charming and pleasant self. As if I ever stopped being that. Heee!
I need to figure a way to boost my stamina and strength without injuring any of my joints. I think running is causing my knee to hurt. And my ankle's been a little wonky too. Is that what old(er) age does to you?! T___T
It's a short 3 day work week, so happy. And then it's Singapore for the weekend, 5 days of work, 8 days in Sydney for CNY and Valentines and then 2 weeks of work, and then Matchrace Thailand first weekend of March.
I like it when I've always got things to look forward to like this. Sadly though, Sydney means no angpao's this year and there goes my hopes of receiving any flowers or chocolates for Valentines either. #youwinsomelosesome #suchislife
That's assuming I was gonna get any. I'm thinking, Sydney may be a brilliant idea after all.
Would it be too much to ask for if I want to miraculously have abs? As in, sleep and wake up with some superior core muscles the next morning?
Okay, that's as far as wishful thinking goes.
Everyone, okay, maybe not everyone but A LOT of people I know are falling sick. Take care of yourselves people! Down those Vitamin C's, they're sold in the markets for a reason!
Today, I am thankful that I managed to get home in time to spend some time running in the park, and also for the breezy weather and for the beautifully lit sky.

Me & My Lazy Bum
I wish I could hire one of those one day service to clean my room for me. It's way too dusty but I am too lazy to tidy up the place myself. I don't know where to start.
Been watching a number of rock climbing videos, man - I mean woman really, those lean bodies are to die for. -_- I've developed a severe bout of body envy.
I See Grace
If only my bum wasn't lazy. :P

And Girls, Don't Let This Be Your Song
When I Was Your Man (cover) / When You Were My Man - HelenaMaria
Hahahaha, I think I am genius. Or, they are genius for coming up with the song.
I shall stop talking to my blog as if it were you. Because that's not communication. Doesn't mean I'll talk to you though. Because I am shy. We'll see. =)
Article for Matchrace Thailand in March is out on Sailworld, click to read. Seems like a promising eye candy galore. Wheee. No, that's not the reason why I like to sail, but it's a bonus no doubt. I am actually quite glad I didn't end up sending a team of my own, though it would've been pretty cool to be the only female skipper, but I just dislike losing too much, and the competition looks fierce.
And even though I am not driving, I am worried now. I've been off the waters for way too long and it doesn't look likely that I'll be getting any training time prior to flying to Thai. Oh dear me.
Sorry for that unnecessary rant. That aside, bought a new hairdryer, went for mani & pedi and facial today. The mani and pedi didn't lasts on my nails for too long. Meh. The facial though, was awesome. I am pretty again. Hee.
Today, I am thankful for good genes - even if it is only limited to the beauty department. People say, if you ever wonder what your girlfriend /wife will look like later in life, take a good look at her mom. Dear currently non-existent boyfriend/ partner/ potential future husband, please, go look at my mommy.
Confirm. I'll still be as pretty when I am 50.
Disclaimer: I have been exposed to way more UV rays than my mommy.
I am a bit hyper, can you tell? In the good sort of way. Let's hope I don't crash and burn in the next couple of hours because usually, that's how it works.
Meeting with the uni folks tomorrow! :D

Boys, Don't Let This Be Your Song
When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars
"Too young too dumb to realize". Don't say I didn't warn.
But if you've tried already and were rejected then pandai pandai back off already loh. People don't like pushy and overly persistent people.
For some strange reason - well, it's actually not very strange lah, I know the reason why but let's just move along; you're the first person I wanted to tell this to, but again, you're not there! >(
Anyways! Singapore, Sydney and Pattaya in almost consecutive weekends. Jet-setter lifestyle man. February is gonna fly by and and then it'll be March before I know it.
Thankful for Mommy who supports my extravagant (-__-) expenses and not tell me 'no' for no special reason. Heee.

I Can't Make You Love Me
"It's just perfect in every single way", said Adele about this song.
And I love Adele, I really do, but I love this cover better. I think it has to do with the piano piece in the opening. =)
Funny though, how it didn't occur to me to listen to the original version by the actual singer Bonnie Raitt. And so anyway I decided I should.
Still prefer the covers.
"You can't make your heart feel something it won't." Touche.

Thankful
For good times, good food and awesome company! =)
Nursing a slight hangover, the sleep deprivation is settled now at least. I should really unpack. I am scared of the thunder, it's too close, and too loud. There will always, always be a mountain higher. Something I need to always remind myself. Also, that we don't always get things we want just because.
Dinner soon, I shall go unpack now.
P/s: Power is back on now, hence the delayed posting.

I Am Quite The Emo Kid Too Sometimes
Angsty and antsy means two different things. I learnt today.
I cried a whole bunch in the movies earlier. Watched The Impossible and I can't quite pin my feelings at this point in time. Except that I am really tired from the show and all the crying and that I am once again, really thankful for what I have and that I haven't and hopefully will never have to go through such pain.
Because you're not there for me to speak to, then again, that's probably for the better. I was THIS close, THIS close. Who knows what might come out of my mouth when my filters are completely off duty.
I pretty much had a internal monologue the entire of today about what I should, could and would do. At some point, I told myself, just hit the refresh button lah. Just refresh already. And then trust something else to pop up and throw me for a new spin. The debate is endless. -__-
Stop messing with my poor head already please pretty please. I'm antsy. And I am worried I might take it out on myself tomorrow. So I'll probably go for a run in the morning. Which means, bed time should be soon.
For the most of it. My problem is that I always think I am good enough. I hardly think I am ever too good, but I've brainwashed myself to believe that I am good enough. And then again, of course, trust new things, events or people to pop up to make me realize that, just who have I been fooling all along?!
Eeeee. Emo nemo. That's why Nemo needs Dory. #hahanotfunny
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be all right.

And A Round Of Applause Goes To
People, are such weird beings. They don't say what they really feel. They always prefer what they don't have. They laugh when things are funny and they cry when they're hurt. But they also cry when things are funny and they also laugh when they're hurting. What!
Wheee! My hair is really long now! My definition of very long may be a little skewed but in my world, what I think is ultimate. Them chubby cheeks. Rar.
Been spending a little too much me thinks, need to get the finances in check. Bye bye 30% off Irish Nut Cream latte from Gloria Jeans tomorrow. =(
For the better anyway, save on the calories.
Today, I am simply thankful for the way things turned out. Not too dramatic, not too cheesy, not too dry, not too stressful, not too mellow. Just nice. Like, just the correct amount of sugar, spice and everything nice. /high5
Sometimes. I wish for just a little magic. If I could be Tinker Bell, I'd go around sprinkling pixie dust everywhere I go, for the people who deserve it.
Ding ding ding!
I'll remember to save some for myself too.

I Am A Flower Quickly Fading
Who Am I - Casting Crowns
I have a confession. 3/4 of today's sermon on the Mosaic Covenant I was struggling to focus, I barely understood the message.
My tummy feels a little wonky. My head is spinning since I got up from my quick nap in the afternoon. My fresh milk tastes funny too. I didn't check the weighing machine today. My butt is aching from yesterday's jog. How strange.
Everytime you appear on my page, my heart skips a beat. I am so easily pleased. I don't understand it when people say I am difficult, or picky, or high maintenance. Where did they get that from.
Have I mentioned how cute my doggie is? He's the best!
Today, I am thankful for all the simple pleasures in life. Sometimes, you don't have to look too far or search high and low for meaning. Just embrace what is and smile and be happy about it.
I wanna dance in the rain.. =)

I Had A Very Green Dinner
Leafy greens and a Green Tea Latte. Hee!
I really don't like what the scale tells me every morning.Why can't it just lie. -__- Think I am gonna stock up on more leafs and sausages (because they're easy to prepare). And Kewpie Roasted Sesame sauce. Because I am awesome that way.
Today was a good day spent with mommy shopping and bonding, mostly shopping in OneU. I have to say, I much prefer browsing for items online than squeezing with people in the malls. Save for the fact that in malls, you can actually try on the clothing and know they fit for sure.
I am a new proud owner of the Madison edition Starbucks tumbler. I looooove it! It's too pretty, thank you you girls! /heart
I'll be thankful for my new tumbler and a good outing today. =)
Today also, I said a mega long prayer. Truth is, there's only so much that I know, the rest I don't. And for what it's worth, if it is meant to be, then it will be. Otherwise.
Have an itch to travel places.
You! Take me along!

Neither Here Nor There
That's the state of being.
Today, I laughed so hard that I cried, at a joke that I unintentionally made at my own expense. But I am thankful for that. That I am able to laugh at my own stupidity. And more so that the laughter was shared.
I don't have an answer, so don't ask.
Mid Valley 3 times in a row this week. Money fly but you see, money is one thing, you earn and you spend, of course your don't spend excessively, learn to strike a balance. Spending time with people who matter though is what that counts.
I slowly am learning to understand what it means by comfortable silence.
The reason why I love the people I work with is because they bring out the best in me. For the most of it. They believe in me when I don't believe in myself. And they accept me for who I am and what I am, complete with all the flaws that they somehow always manage to regard as cuteness level up.
I am scared, of what the future holds.
Can I let my guard down just today? It's because I am tired and my defenses are low.

Why Am I Thinking So Much When That Is Your Habit!
I've been told to never ever again date a sailor, by my own sailing seniors. Speaks a lot hey?
But what about a non-sailor who'd sing you a sing about sailors just because.
What about that?
I've considered the option that I am just building castles in the clouds. Maybe after all, I am only constructing my own fantasy out of thin air - a princess living in this grand castle, with rainbows and unicorns, protected by a layer of bubble. Hmm.
Ran today, for 10 minutes in the morning. Should definitely keep this up.
Not much good news in the office today. That's to say the least. I don't know if it's got to do with the fact that we studied Psychology that we are able to tell that it's bad news even before it takes place. You can be smiling, but we know better.
I actually do feel a wee bit bad that all the bad stuff happening isn't my biggest concern or worry.
Today, I am thankful for that Chicken Katsudon. So much win.

Powerveggies & Fruits
Yummm!
I'll go for a run tomorrow. My body needs it. My mind too.
Uni Live successfully ended today. Without much of a glitch. Feedback was pretty positive too, not that there were many. It's highly unlikely that those I wanna thank will actually be reading this, but today, I am thankful for each and everyone of them, not so much for volunteering to help, but more for making it happen and for being wonderful individuals.
Unfortunately, I think I am falling... sick. =(

When Counting 1, 2, 3 Don't Work
Oh lordy. I really do hate the weighing machine. It read 54kg's today. Damn. And I thought I have been decently healthy and cautious of my food intake.
That aside. Uni Live is tomorrow! I am actually pretty excited about it. Sans the anxiety that things might not quite work out as planned. I hope it'll go on without a glitch if that's not asking for too much.
When things are beyond your control, what do you do? When things are within your control, what would you do?
I like the idea that people regardless of who, will see things that are salient to them as 'most important'. For instance, if I were to get married tomorrow, I'd be so excited tonight (or the opposite) that I may not be able to sleep a blink. But if you think about it, me not being able to sleep because my marriage is that important to me doesn't mean that the rest of the world is feeling the same importance I have placed upon my marriage.
Correct?
Basically, my point is, when you're into something too deep or when you feel that "This is too important I can't risk failure", just think again. Is it really that important after all? Will is really cause harm to anyone if it didn't get solved? Will you not recover from it? Chances are, you'll be just fine.
Same thing as how people focus so much on negatives that they totally lose sight of all the positives. If 1 out of 10 apples in a basket is rotten, let it be, you have 9 more to enjoy.
Wheee, enough of being philosophical for the day.
3 things you didn't know about me. If I don't like you, I will show it, and if I like you, I'll show it too, if only everyone functioned the same way. I get toe cramps, sometimes butt cramps too. I watched Life of Pi, and I didn't understand it.
I've been spending a wee bit too much lately I feel.
Okay, bed time. But before that, today, I am thankful for the fact that I've made it this far in life, and for all that has been or has not been, I am glad I am the person I am today.
I think me crossing my toes every time I hope things go well is the primary cause of my toe cramps.

It's A Little Early But..
Do I feel betrayed if what I saw is the truth? Neh, I don't actually. Had it maybe been six 10 months earlier, I might've have. Now, you have my best wishes. =)
Inet's really slow, can't stream songs nor browse online shopping sites cause the pictures won't load. Good thing I dl-ed Ailee's Evening Sky yesterday. =)
Every girls needs a dress that she can put on and instantly feel pretty. =)
Thimble @ Bangsar was having some massive clearance sales so Mommy went a little crazy and bought a tonne of accessories that I am convinced she'll never wear. Least she got me a new bracelet too. =)
Had Marmalade's Avocado Accent for brunch after church. Yum yums! And this time, they spread garlic butter on my bread. =)
I have 11 items still pending on my weekend to-do-list. Too lazy! I wanna be outdoors, by the beach, reading and/or people watching and drinking an iced cold beverage with the breeze blowing in my face. It'd be a plus point if I had someone with me, but I'll be fine just as it is too. Wishful thinking only gets you that far. =)
I know some friends are going through a hard time. So here's a little something that I feel could perhaps shine some light during moments of dark, this and this. =)
"If you don't ask, you don't get". Because I believe in that, I asked, but I didn't get anyway. At least I tried. =)
Sail training should commence pretty soon, please let this year be fruitful in my attempts to sail more and be excited about sailing once more. =)
As I leaned back against my chair, I realized that my hair is finally at a length whereby it'll get caught between my back and the back of the chair. Made me super happy, my hair is finally loooooooong! /squeals =)
Little bro's are talking technical stuff on the WA group we created. I don't get them, like most of the things they say, I don't get anyway. They're bright kids, sometimes too damn smart ass that it pisses me off but I love them no less. Would I die for them? No. But I do love them, a whole lot. =)
Scottie is back to being the healthy doggie he is too. =)
What do I feel like? I feel like cake, and coffee. Because I already had ice cream yesterday! =)

Here Comes Trouble
Every once in awhile, people should allow themselves to get a little high on champagne and Guinness, with sashimi and Lindt chocolate in between and blast the radio to Girls Generation's I Got A Boy in a Peugeot 308 Turbo.
Today, I am thankful for the fact that life's been kind to me. On one too many occasions to count.
If only I were a little more like-able and if you'd like me too!

Yo Yo Friday
That's the not so little brother. A full head taller than me.
Missed posting yesterday, was out and about till pretty late. But there was the story of 3/4 pants being full length and the story of one Estonian, one Thai and two Malaysians eating Korean BBQ and the high chance of all four of us meeting again in Thailand in March. This world is a peculiar place.
I only look tough. I am actually really not.
Dinner was at Lot 10 food court with a good old family/sailing friend of ours, well, more my parents. But it was nice to catch up and it occurred to me how much time has gone by since.
Everyone can be friends, it's just how much effort you put into it and what is it that you value at the end of the day.
The one thing that I have been consistently thankful for is the people around me. What would I be without them I don't dare imagine.
Weekend detox program here I come!

You Like Me Don't You?
It's not out of my character to say such things. Not entirely at least.
It's mostly my insecure self at work. Yup, contrary to popular belief.
I only ask that question when I know for sure what the answer will be. Sometimes when I say things like that though, I don't really care about the answer. But other times, when I do care about the answer, I am actually scared that the answer turns out to be a resounding no.
So those times, I don't ask. Because, when it really matters, I am afraid that the answer is not what I want to hear.
Whenever it comes to finding myself someone, Mom thinks I am not trying or not putting in effort. I actually don't think so. But anyway.
Still digesting dinner, claypot rice, little brother drove! And he gave my car a fresh new scratch (-__-) Then again, it's just another scratch to what my car already has from the time I reversed into my own gate and from that minor accident near office.
I've been on a roll at work (again completely my own perception) so much so that I am starting to wonder if something is going to go very wrong next. But what's the point in worry right?
Today, I am thankful that 99% of people I encountered today were nice peopleso screw that 1%. I am also thankful that I have been feeling really good about work. Also thankful that the weather today was nice and windy.
I do feel like I may be falling sick though. Itchy nose, dry lips, fatigue. Hmmm. Please don't fall sick!
I do wonder, what do you actually think of me?

Well Done Girl
Today is Tuesday, it's only day two of this work week, but I think I've been doing well at work. As in, I feel I've been productive and I've been doing what I need to be doing well, in general. /pats self on the head
If you're reading this because you decided to Google me today, I say Hello! :D
I heard this while driving earlier. It sounded nice, until I Googled the lyrics, and then I went, Huh? And then I became confused.
I still am confused about the meaning of the song. But I also still think it's nice.
Today, I am thankful again for a whole bunch of stuff. From basically having a good day at work, for having people show concern, for being able to make people smile, for being happy, for having an awesome support system.
Also for the fact that despite the token machine eating my token (which I drew a smiley on) at the exit, the security guards and the parking dude were really nice in helping me out.
Sometimes I think bad days are necessary to show us that good days are nice to have.

We're Not Meant To Understand Everything
I suppose. Somethings in life, we just have to leave it be. And not try to understand too much.
Today, I am thankful for a series of things. Thankful for the fact that I woke up knowing today was better than when I said goodnight to yesterday.
Thankful for the fact that work went well. That orientation pretty much went on without a glitch. Thankful for awesome colleagues who pulled their weight around to help one another out. Thankful for the fact that despite how flooded by questions we were, we managed today just fine. Thankful that Monday work day turned out just fine.
Thankful for new friends and a hearty dinner. Thankful that I managed to navigate my way with Google Maps. Thankful that I didn't hit into the motorbike, or that the motorbike didn't hit into me.
Thankful for just being alive and kicking too I suppose. Tired as I am, today's been kind to me.
For that itself, I am thankful. =)

Fancy Sunday
Hadn't actually just sat down and do nothing the whole day up until about now. =)
I am terrible. In a good way. If you know what I mean.
I wasn't expecting it to affect me this much. But I guess I now understand what she meant. It's not about the amount at all. But it's more of, does this mean I haven't been performing as good as the rest?
Withdrawal symptoms this time around ain't as bad as it once used to be. No, I am not referring to drugs or anything of that sort. Please. I suppose people do get used to it after awhile. #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger
I went a little crazy with Blogthings yesterday. I am right brained in love. My ideal relationship is serious dating. I am comfortable PJ's. I am the living room. Hah, I am a natural beauty! I am wild at heart. I am a Japanese Zen Garden, and lastly, my brain is organized.
What secrets do you keep? Or do you keep none at all?
Internet's a bit laggy but I am thankful that it's at least working. Streaming Ships In The Night by Mat Kearney. I can't quite explain why I like it, I just do.
Had a good Sunday, on with the rest of the week!

The Pain of Being A Parent
And I am not even a full fledged one because my kid essentially is my doggie. -_-
If you've been following my blog, you'd know that doggie is sick and therefore is on medication. The first few days it was easy. Lure him with bread and he'd eat his medication guai guai. Today is probably the third or fourth day and he's NOT eating his meds no matter what I do and I wanna cry because how else is he gonna get well!
Prompted me to think back to all those times when we were kids and we refused to eat our medication when we were sick. Parents had to find and use all sorts of ways includingviolence rewards to get us to eat our medication when it is for our own good.
And that's just when we were sick.
What about all those time when we struggled with homework, when we had our hearts broken, when we fell down and scratched our knee, or bruised our hands, or that time when we had to make life decisions in which we felt so confused and miserable. Parents probably feel double of all that we are feeling and hurting. And yet, they somehow manage to just keep showing us love all throughout.
Parents are, probably the strongest people on earth.
So while we always take them for granted, maybe today, at least just today, think about all the things they have done for you. And appreciate them.
Today, I know I am thankful for my parents. For all that they have done for me. For I am me, because of them.

Gahhh! Why Am I So Darn Tired
Today, someone said to me, "It's the first time I am seeing you smile all week". I said, "It's Friday, that's a DAMN good reason to be smiling!" But really? Have I not been smiley throughout the week?
I caved. And had some ice cream. MmmMmmm, so gooood!
Someday, my dear friend, you will find someone just right for you. Like what my little bro tells me, "Jie, one day you will find someone perfect for you". I trust the same for you.
Had dinner in Marmalade BV. Think I've just found my new favorite salad dish. The Avocado Accent was the yummiest ever. And Pumpkin soup is fast becoming my to-go-to comfort dish.
Like how respect works, I suppose you cannot ask for something that you yourself are not doing right.
One step taken to be closer to finding out potential aspirations. Work has actually been kinda awesome lately. Productivity has been hitting high ends of my scales. So if anything, it is the good kinda tired, so don't be too worried.
I am thankful today for realizing the fact that although I am not amongst the brightest of bulbs, I am in fact a pretty well balanced individual. Also thankful that doggie seems to be recovering well. =)
But whoever who calls me before 9am tomorrow when my alarm is supposed to ring is going to get shot in the head.

"Do You Have Ice Cream At Home?"
Yes. It's a good thing I do.
But I probably shan't have any anyway. In no way is it going to help with my 48kg's challenge.
Double whammy! Seeing, more hearing actually, hearing what I heard, I believe I have done a fairly decent job, considering the current result, I actually suppose it's almost a fantastic job I did. /pats self on head
I guess I could be proud of myself for that at least. =)
Doggie seems to be doing okay. But his infection is still worrisome. Please pray for his speedy recovery. And he just pee-ed on my floor. Not so cute anymore. -__-
I thank God for good food and awesome people and also for that sweet smile (supposedly) that I own.

You Had Your Chance And You Took It
It didn't completely work in your favor but you tried and gave it your best shot. Well done, I am proud and happy for you..
Sparks don't account for a lot of things, and maybe it's wise to not put so much emphasis on all that sparkles. Sleep is important and sleep deprivation is not fun - explains why I am a bit incoherent now, used up whatever remaining battery power I had in me at work today. Work was productive though, which is always good.
People can be nice, and being nice to people is always a choice. A choice we make, a choice they make. People should learn to make good choices.
Poor doggie is sick, heart. break. I hope he's not in too much pain. Get well soon doggie!
Today, I am thankful for awesome colleagues in the office, whom of which I have grown to love quite a bit as good friends outside of the office too.

Hello Day 1 of TwentyThirteen
I just got up from a nap not too long ago!
And between waking up from my nap and now, I was streaming Girls' Generation I Got A Boy music video which was released today. All of them look out-of-this-world kinda pretty, but at the same time, they all kinda look alike too.
Of "But I have got no rent card", to "Just say No", to Chinese Monopoly deal cards, to boyfriend.com, to good food and great times!
And between the above and below, I also managed to watch the full 11 mins and 33 seconds worth of London 2013 fireworks. Simply spectacular! Though, it makes me wonder about what's all the talk with inflation and all that. Oh well, who says no to pretty fireworks! Go watch.
Today, I am thankful for each of you in my life. =)
