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. =)

Krabi 2012

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 people so 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.

Wanted - Hunter Hayes

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. =)
