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

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

I'd like to have one please!

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

/swoon Major.

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!

Is all.

Happy Song

Why not.

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.. =)

It's really simple. Just like that.

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.

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.
