Strange As We Are

Can't be honest. Because I am not good enough. Feel small. I am tired, but let's go sailing!

Clear Day Cloudy Day

Lunafly

Lunafly; What a pretty name.

Double posting today. Think I am gonna skip posting tomorrow.

If I keep finding fault in everything, it is more likely that the problem lies within me, no?

Two Words Today

Damn those effing book vouchers.

Okay, that was more than 2 words but seriously. -__- Freaking vouchers, so much unnecessary extra work.

On the bright side, today wasn't all bad. I am way below my calorie count and I walked the dog (not my dog cause mine's a lazy ass) in the morning and I also mopped the floor. Funny how chores can make one feel accomplished.

On the down side though, I think I may be falling ill. Yesterday's tell tale signs seem to be worsening with itchy nose and a sore throat. Uncool.

I hope I don't actually fall sick at this point in time. Pray for me!

We Dance Through The Colors

Still - Hillsong

There's just something fascinating about not understanding the language but still enjoying the song.



I think I must've caught a slight cold, but I am not too sure where from. Sniff, sniff and sneeze, sniff sniff and sneeze. Oh boy.

Eric's Song - Vienna Teng

Triple play Sunday!

I Am A Fascinating Creature

I say I have high self esteem so I don't get bothered by things but I actually do get bothered. I always mistype "okay" as "okat" on my smartphone. I act behave childish when I am with the people I've grown to be comfortable with. But with people whom I dislike I can be a total b*tch. I sprout nonsense like they come naturally and some people find it cute, others probably not so much. Sometimes even I myself don't understand myself.

I bet you think the same. =)

Somebody, Feed Me Please

Man I am hungry. And I feel like eating nuggets. And a chocolate sundae.

It's Friday night. But definitions of Friday nights are subjective and differs from one person to another. My ideal Friday night, would be...

I don't really know actually. But it most certainly would not involve cleaning doggie poopie and pee, if I can help it.

This, this and this.

I could've done without the ego boost, but it's a nice touch to end the work week. Sides, who says no to ego boosters?!

Anyways, leave it be is probably the advice I should be listening to.

Inconvenient Fireworks

Just when I choose to trust instincts, reality kicks in.

It's a cold night, nice!

What In The What

Was that all about.

Sigh. Ending today feeling mighty confused.

Too many things don't tally. Too many actions without reason.

Ate too much for dinner too. Indigestion.

Long day tomorrow, be good please?

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

That's exactly my point.

Bitter Chocolat

Note: It's not a spelling error, they actually spell Chocolat that way, without the 'e'.

Oh no! I overestimate (or underestimated for that matter) my time and decided to go ahead with my DIY Beautylabo Whip hair color! I was getting a little irritated with people commenting on how brown my hair had gotten.

Lil bro said, just tell them the UV in Sydney was extra strong and it made your hair lighter by a couple of shades lah. Hahaha.

Which reminds me of another conversation I had with both my brothers earlier this morning about ear piercings and balls. Too damn funny. Sibling love to the max.

Scottie is gonna have a new friend for the week. Dog-sitting a friend's poodle. Well, technically and strictly speaking, Ivy is gonna be doing the work. Because she sorta kinda agreed to it on my behalf.

Work was mighty unproductive. In the bad sorta way. My insecure self just kept creeping up to the surface. I hate it. I hate it so much.

Bitter chocolate has to be an oxymoron. It seems up my current state somewhat. 

Welcome Home

Also equals to welcome back to sucky internet connection. Meh.

Today was good though. Thanks for being kind, Sunday.

Some things are best left untold, secrets only I shall know.

To the very end. Because it's just better that way.

Back From Down Under

But feeling a little under the weather. Meh. Vitamin C to the rescue.

Need to unpack, settle in and get ready for the week.

To upload photos or not? #milliondollarquestion

Have I been missed??

3, 2, 1 And One, Two, Three

What's the difference.

Thoughts that occurred to me today: I hate being an inconvenience to others. So if I ever become one to you, please by all means, let me know. Because I can be a bit dense sometimes and not realize it.

It's okay, that negative feeling is mutual, somewhat. I guess. Not that I am pleased by it, but it would definitely hurt more if I actually cared.

Real life wombats aren't as cute. And koala bears smell a little like assam boi, I have to agree with Wes on this. And kangaroo's look a lot like rodents.

Day 7 in Sydney already. That's the tail end of the trip, a little afraid to go home actually.

It's only a little bit of pain, it won't kill. Plus, pain is necessary for growth.

Isn't that what they all say?

Thousand And One Things Running Through My Head

That T.A.T.U song comes to mind. All the things she said, all the things she said, running through my head, running through my head.

Probably a wise idea to sit down with my pen and trusty travel notebook to work on my to-do-list after dinner.

Sometimes, I look into the mirror, I like what I see. Sometimes, not so much.

Happy Valentines day everyone!

Lazy Day Five in Sydney

Woke up, breakfast, direct factory outlet shopping, lunch, Meet Fresh custard pudding yummylicious dessert drink (there goes my ice cream quota for the day) and the rest was cousin entertainment time, work email and a little catching up on reading.

My calves are achy from yesterday, I hope it stops being irritating by tomorrow. I think my body is getting a little wonky too. Not too sure why or what's the cause. Maybe it's just in the mind. Or it could just be that I haven't been drinking enough water.

Whoever who said Sydney's summer is mega hot is a big fat liar. Okay, fine, maybe not a big fat liar since weather can be unpredictable. But it's far from being hot here. I mean, I am surviving on shorts and tees but it's far from bright hot sunny days.

Looking forward to sunny Pattaya in March. I hope it doesn't rain. And knowing my luck, I might've just jinxed myself.

Valentines Day tomorrow, sending love all around in advance.

Practicality Versus Impracticality

Moscato is my new favorite alcoholic beverage. Because it's sweeeeeeet. And it only gets better. The bottle we're having tonight is pink. =)

Blue Moutains today. Walked, more trekked a few good kilometers. Brought back memories of the Mount KK climb. Wheeee. Good workout considering the amount of eating that has been going on. Weather wasn't brilliant though, drizzling and wet, but ohwell.

I have given myself an ice cream allowance while I am here. One serving per day. Teehee! Because the ice cream here is awesome, like seriously.

Early this morning, I felt a little off (again), I am only human right. Then it got better in the evening. I am going to let go now. Living a little lighter is always good.

My cousins are such a cute bunch really. I hope our presence is as entertaining as theirs is to me.

More shopping tomorrow.

Day 4, over and out.

It's Actually Starting To Get A Wee Bit Chilly Here

And yours truly, thinking that it was gonna be some hot ass summer, didn't pack any jeans or longs for that matter. Champion.

I'll survive anyhow. =)

I had 8 days in Sydney, I am already at Day 3, time is going by too quick!

Today was much more mellow than yesterday in terms of activities. The rest did some major grocery shopping. I got a bit of stuff for the rest at home to nom too. The other fun thing to do while grocery shopping is watching what other people have in their carts.

Traveling makes me HIGHLY introspective. Not that it's a bad thing. I was thinking about life and where I am headed and got a bit agitated with myself at some point. Pfft!

Anyway. I think the itinerary for tomorrow is Blue Mountains. Looking forward to it. I hope there'll be some sun, barely working on my tan.

After awhile, it just doesn't matter anymore.

Question Of The Day

Why do all the wrong ones do all the right things?

Second day in Sydney. I am impressed with the railway system here. The thing though about traveling with people who already know their way around is that it takes away the "exploring" factor. Because, I just follow. If I had to make my way into town on my own tomorrow, I am not sure I can trace my steps and get there.

Did the whole touristy thing, Paddy's Market, Chinatown, the Rocks and ferry to Manly Beach. People here are interesting too. I am having a kick simply by people watching. I wish I could have some time to sit at a cafe alone and just people watch. But the idea of this trip is the total contrast to that - quality family time. I am not complaining though.

It drizzled near the end of the day, and we had some spicy Sichuan dinner to counter the cold.

First day of the 2013 Chinese New Year. Pretty damn awesome!

Sending my love to all once again, because there's no such thing as too much love. =)

Happy Lunar New Year Everybody

Greetings from Sydney. =)

So it's midnight here now but it's 9.17 back home. And I am sweating inside my sleeping bag which as I am typing this, I am wriggling out of.

Just sneezed.

The weather was nice today, bright and sunny, windy at times. I like it here, I've missed my cousins. Going into town tomorrow, should probably get some rest.

As much as I dislike creepy crawlies.. Heng, it's your year. Sending love to all.

CNY Reunion Dinner With The Friends

I am once again reminded how blessed I am to have such awesome people as friends.

Not too sure how regular postings will be after today. So, Happy Chinese New Year in advance and Happy Valentines Day too!

My wish for everyone, because every occasion warrants a wish, is that we will all find our own happiness, and let that be a source of joy for others too.

Because happiness is contagious. 

It's Raining Outside

*sneeze* Who's missing me? ;D

Save My Heart - Jason Reeves

Cute!

The idea is to complete packing tonight...

But I can't help it that I am hungry!

Mr Penguin Found Me

I am thankful, that I am not like you, in some ways.

My tummy has been playing games with me all day long. I'm tired.

Is it incompatibility? Why do I get jittery and speak gibberish at times?

Good advice this - Don't do something permanently stupid just because you are temporarily upset. Good words.

I can't help but feel a little left out actually. That I am not taking any classes. It'd be nice if I actually could participate in some of the conversations that go on. But anyway.

If only I had a little more smarts. But we make do. =)

Let you in on a not-so-little secret...

Mr Penguin found me! /heart
Hahaha.

I've always wished that someday, I'll be holding hands with someone whom I love (and that someone had better love me back too) and we'd be watching fireworks together somewhere in the night sky.

There you go, my not-so-little secret! 

The Stars, The Moon and Everything Else Above

I like starry nights. They're pretty. And they give me hope.

It could be that I've been a bad judge of character. Everyone after all, has their own stories to be told. Who am I to say anything?

Happy blessed birthday to my longest friend ever. I hope you'll live a life of significance, and of course, that all your dreams will be realized some day, in the near future. Love lots.

Work was slow today, but what used to take me half an afternoon to do (namely attendance lists), only took me 20 mins to complete today. Bangga. Goes to show that I am getting used to what I do and is it a sign that I should start looking at other opportunities already? Or a sign that I should continue at it since I am getting good at it?

Anyway. I am looking forward to being back on the waters again. Can't wait.

As for Sydney, I shall start thinking about how to pack / what to pack.

In many ways, I am a child who never quite grew up. Today, I am thankful that I have people whom I have grown to love, and also that they've accepted me for who I am.

Happy week ahead all you folks. Much love from me.

When Neither Being Here Nor There Works

I am thankful for my bubble.

Time To Flip Those Table Calenders

January came and has gone by. It's February now.

And what makes being a city girl, or at least working in the city all that more awesome (despite the horrendous traffic) is that we get the 1st of February off.

Way to start the month!

February, be nice!
