Hidden Agenda

Reason why I am awake at this hour. No, it isn't insomnia. I was fast asleep until the little brother called me because he was locked out, for a good reason. It was 3 freaking o'clock in the morning.


Okay, maybe it is insomnia, because I can't seem to go back to sleep since.

Because it's year end, I can't help it but be reflective about the year and being reflective means thinking. Which was why... It doesn't matter, not all things have to be said.


This whole new year, new hopes, new outlook, new whatnot thing is really overrated. Way too much of a cliche if you asked me. But, if it somehow tickles your fancy, who am I to judge.

All I have to say is pretty much, goodbye, and it's hello.

The whole thank you speech thing is also highly overrated. We should be thankful every other day, not just on the 365th/ 366th day of the year! But I'll say some anyway, since falling asleep isn't working too well for me at the moment.

For those of you who have been reading or following my blog, a big thank you goes to you of course, for accompanying me (in a very weird and non-physical manner) throughout the past year(s). :D

For those of you who don't read my blog, I'll save my thank you for when I see you in person because if you're not reading this, you won't know I am thanking you anyway. #makesperfectsense

Photos are all from Christmas lunchie with the family

So... I have also done my list. We shall see how that goes. We can hope and pray and wish and cross our fingers and toes for the next year to be a good one, but really, it's what you do that counts.

So do all you can, to make it good. 

Here's to a great year ahead, to going round the Chinese zodiac calender twice and to being a year older and wiser, and of course beautiful-er too!

Fifty Things I Will Do In 2012

This was really tough. Took me longer than the previous list, guess it's because it's future related.

I could've easily written 50 things, i.e, learn to scuba dive, learn a new language, go on a hot air balloon ride, fall in love etc, but these are more of a lifetime bucket list than a new year resolution list. The whole point of new year resolutions are so that you actually achieve them and not write them for the sake of writing them. So here goes...
  1. Travel to 2 countries/ places I have not been to before.
  2. Submit applications for Masters.
  3. Invest in hair care treatment.
  4. Bake a cake.
  5. Wear a dress once a week (unless special circumstances).
  6. Wear heels once a week (unless special circumstances).
  7. Red highlights for the hair before mid year.
  8. Do charity work / volunteer.
  9. Go for a full medical check up.
  10. Keep my hair super long.
  11. Get a new pair of glasses.
  12. Re-start up HELP Sailing Club.
  13. Use a satin pillow case.
  14. Buy a satin pillow case.
  15. Do something nice for one person (or more) each day.
  16. Smile and say Good Morning to the first person I see every day.
  17. Go climb Mount KK.
  18. Get a second opinion on the wisdom tooth.
  19. Drink more water.
  20. Play volleyball.
  21. Not use work as an excuse to not sail.
  22. Go fly kite.
  23. Go for a picnic.
  24. Do something crazily spontaneous, like an impromptu trip somewhere.
  25. Try something completely new, can be anything from food to a new experience.
  26. Make 10 new friends and remember them.
  27. Eat more fruits.
  28. Finish watching everything in my external hard disk.
  29. Read up on NPD.
  30. Either read and return The Lucifer Effect, or return it without reading anyway.
  31. Only make promises that I can keep.
  32. Quit impulse buying.
  33. Do the sailor nails, this! Only at Beauty Base! For my birthday maybe hmmm.
  34. Avoid showering late at night if I can help it.
    Non quantifiable items
  35. Trust more.
  36. Talk less, listen more.
  37. Be more social.
  38. Be responsible.
  39. Be patient.
  40. Take less, give more.
  41. Forgive and forget.
  42. Love, don't hate.
  43. Make time for those who matter.
  44. Eat healthily.
  45. Be kind to others.
  46. Remember that respect is earned.
  47. Be brave.
  48. Do not envy, do not be jealous.
  49. Have a big big heart.
  50. Be nice to people.
Ready? Set. Go!

One Of Those Moments

  1. "I dream in color..." :)

  2. Lappie's power button is getting wonky. Please don't fail me. Probably should lug it to the HP service center already. :(
  3. Heng's coming home and leaving for Langkawi as soon as he gets back. :(
  4. Looking through fashion mags and spotting Emma Watson with her pixie cut is making me wanna try it too. :/
  5. Coming up with the 50 things I will do in 2012 list is harder than I had expected. :/
  6. People come, people go, some stay, some leave, some come back, some don't. :/
  7. It's the happy season for sure! :)
  8. Course counselling is tiring, especially when the people are energy drainers. Nice people are fine, they're nice. :)
  9. And it's only gonna get worse.. as the new semester approaches. I am scared for the new year already. :/
  10. I don't like it. I don't like it when I feel this. When I feel that I am being robbed of my own friends. It's jealousy. And jealousy is bad. Jealousy go away. Friends are meant to be shared, they don't belong to you.
  11. Walk a thousand miles, just to see her;
    But she's far far away;
    Walk a thousand miles just to see her smile again.
    - lyricssong. :)
Where talking, is out of the equation.

The Answer To Your Every Wish

Is it bad of me to put you in the backseat so quickly, so soon?



I love Celine Dion, she's one of those power houses who always will be. One of those singers who will never fade away as time goes by. Just such an impressive power.

It's amazing how much comes back to me everytime I sit in my parents' car because they always play Light and Easy on their radios. I went for bf with the daddy this morning. Pappa Rich, I am not particularly fond of that place, it serves okay food but for some reason, it's just not some place I'd go often.

Anyhow. We had this "discussion" about what it is like to be in the real adult world, and his conclusion was that I am not ready for it yet, my thinking is too theoretical, too right and wrong, too black and white for me to "fit in". See, that's what I don't get... 

Shouldn't it be that the more you grow, the more you know, and therefore the better you are at making life decisions? One example I brought up during the discussion was, if a person cannot afford to have kids, then don't make babies. 

It's too bad if you're poor, but you cannot afford it, don't have a kid and make your kid suffer. Worse still, it's funny how the world operates, the poorer the people, the more kids they have. Well, the reason to that if you used logical deduction is, the poorer the person, the less educated they are, and also the more time they have so therefore, low education + a lot of free time, what do they do? Make babies. -__-

Anyway, that's beside the point. The point I was trying to make was, be responsible for your own actions. If you know you cannot be responsible for a certain thing, then don't push it. This, applies to everything in life. Of course, there are certain risks that needs to be taken in life, certain boundaries to be crossed and certain limitations to be explored but the bottom line is, be responsible.

Be a responsible human being. We are granted the ability to think, some more than others but all capable nonetheless. 

I don't know. Dad thinks my thinking is too idealistic, likened that I see things through some perfectionist lens of that sort. Maybe I do. Maybe that's what I wish it really was. And maybe that's what I am trying very hard to believe. Maybe I am just too protected, I live in my own bubble, I believe what I want to believe and maybe that's what makes me such a difficult human being to be with. 

I believe this is what some people call being a snob, being arrogant, ignorant and selfish, hypocrite maybe even. Grrr. I admit to being fifty percent of each at least. Points for not living in denial.

Not that I am proud of it... Sigh, I only wish I were a better person. I shall work towards becoming a better person. My promise to myself. Then I can proudly tell people to be better people themselves. Baby steps, baby steps.

I am currently working on a 50 Things List project. Can you guess what is it about? It's 50 Things I Did in 2011. I am now at number 31, will publish it when I hit 50 items. You, whoever you are reading this now, you too should write that list, and when you're done, start on a 50 Things I Will Do in 2012. 

My challenge to you. Accepted?

INDIA

I miss my coffee buddy. Come back quick.

Noisy. No like. I like peace and serenity.

Double standards are so bad lah, so bad that they should never exist.

Itchy, shower time.

And where are all these ants coming from? Irritating!

What were you thinking?? :P

So Beautiful



Absolutely beautiful...

It's been a sloppy week at work. Both performance wise and attire wise, even attitude wise. I think it's some sort of a chain reaction kinda thing. Dress sloppy, feel sloppy, perform sloppy. It does make sense if you think about it. Maybe I should propose another Dress Up Week, next week is the week after all.

Funny how I interact with students who for the most of it are older adults and yet because of my work scope I categorize them as kids. Wonder what would it be like if I were to return to school now. Identity confusion for sure.

Everyone I know seems to be doing Langkawi. I have a feeling even some non-sailors who managed to wiggle their way through will also be there, not that I have anything against it, but just sayin'. So although I know full well that it's not possible, I checked AirAsia anyway. And tickets aren't too expensive..

Ai Li Ng, no means no lah.

I am generally not a library person. For my whole three years worth of undergrad, plus one year of college so four years in total, I can count the amount of hours I spent in the school library with all my fingers. Literally. -__-

But as I saw this, I told myself, I am going to make damn sure I further my studies in one these places. The libraries are gorgeous!

Some are a bit creepy lah, but same are just, amazingly gorgeous. I can almost imagine myself spending all the time in the world in the library. Time to focus on earning money to go study soon! =)

Fill your heart with love!

There Are Days, When No Words Are Necessary








Like this.

或许,是注定的吧

I am going to attempt to show off my Chinese skills again, or not.

Anyway. Hair hasn't been doing too well lately, super worried I might go bald if this continues. Mandy suggested to try alternating shampoo on a weekly basis, think I'll give that a go and see if there'll be any improvements. Otherwise, it's so long to my efforts of trying to grow it.

And it can't be stress, because I am not. Maybe it's my dietary intake, Ivy says, too much salt could be a cause too.

Feels like a sore throat is underway. Go away!

Just got back not too long ago from yumcha with the uni mates. Initially I had doubts about whether or not I'd come home feeling happier than if I were to not go. I was tired. Glad I went anyway...

... really hope that April Koh Samui trip works out! /cross toes because I cannot be crossing my fingers while writing this

I am fully recovered from my food poisoning episode. It's evident from the amount I have been eating today. -__-

不想冲凉,想直接睡觉了。好懒哦!明天去新加坡的朋友,要好好照顾自己,知道吗?虽然是这样讲,也别忘了要玩得开心点。难得能放个假。。帮我多拍些圣诞树的照片!

原来,我也没差。跟每个人都一样,都喜欢被人照着。这跟自恋应该不一样吧。但,想一想好像又是同一回事。反正,没人照就最好自己看好自己, 必尽我还是我嘛,学习坚强一点不就得了。对不对?

好了。大家晚安!希望大家美梦成真!=)

Of Sheep, Shepherds, And Barns

Had to invigilate some quarantined sheep students for 1.5hours today. The following was the exchange between Ivy on her comp in the office and myself on my smartphone.

I edited the conversation to make it more applicable to the general public, ie, you right there.
Be entertained.

"Nvmd, all the lost sheep came back d"

"Can I tell them they are not allowed to talk to one another, they're super noisy and they're all eating their lunches in front of me!"
"And what time am I supposed to bring them to their next shepherd ah?"

"Oh crap, one of the sheep just left the room while I was sending you the earlier message!"
"Okay nvmd, lost sheep just returned."

Ivy proceeds to say,
"Just tell them to BaaBaa quietly lah" and
"You can make an announcement, If you would like to wonder to the next barn, please inform me first."

I found it highly entertaining, this whole thing. Still made me smile re-thinking the whole scenario now.

It's been a relatively cold day, downpour earlier and had a serendipitous moment staring out the window along the corridor. It's so easy to feel contented with life. Just watching the rain fall outside, and if I hadn't need to worry about being fired, I would've gone and played in the rain and came back to work drenched.

And best part was, I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Drizzling slightly now, perfect weather to call it a night.

Weehee, Recovery Post

1. I have just cashed in my second ever RM 50 cheque from Nuffnang! Happy me!

2. I suck at cooking Maggie, my goodness, complete fail in the kitchen. It was so bad I didn't even finish half of it. Noodles were too soggy and I put too much water. Least my maid had a good time laughing.

3. And btw, Maggie (above) was my first solid meal, make that food, since dinner on Saturday night. I am kinda liking this no appetite thingy, but worry not, it's not gonna lasts very long.

4. And it's okay. I have got it all figured out. I'll just find someone who can cook really well and will love me so much that he'll cook for me all the time without complains.

5. People at work are just so cute. Have you heard of the nom nom nom song? And I was introduced to a Bubbles game today which we keep in our shared folder, and my manager had subsequently re-named Bubbles to Don't Play Play.

6. Little brother(s) are the sweetest things ever. One left me a super duper cute wallpost and the other called me up at work to check on me, which reminds me, I am supposed to call him back.

7. I need to learn to utilize my phone more. But I can't help it that I like old school pen and paper / keeping a diary!

8. Prom is in 7 days, Christmas party is in 8 days and Christmas is in 12 days! Excited!

9. I am actually relatively proud and happy of myself lah. Yes, I will always wish that I were taller, slimmer, prettier, fitter, smarter; I would always think if only I had tried harder, if only I had worked harder, if only I had been a better person... and it goes on. But the bottom line is, I may not be the best, I probably will never be, but I guess I am just one of those complacent human beings. I am just happy being normal, happy being the average girl next door. If that makes any sense.

10. I am thinking very hard right now but there isn't a number 10. So that should be it for today. Hope everyone had a relatively decent Monday!

Sunday, December 11

Am I Being Harsh?

"Have you been feeding my dog?"
"No" was the response.
"Liars go to hell."

"Well... actually...."

So by right, I don't think I was harsh, because lying isn't right. And secondly, this isn't the first this issue was being confronted and this also isn't the first time the lying occurred.

I am in pain. For real.

Think it's likely food poisoning. Since I Googled it and I am having all 6 of the symptoms. Frankly, going to the toilet every other 30 mins, I am pretty okay, I'll just take it as detox. But the headache, the headache that comes along with it, is really not welcomed. Hurts like hell.

It says to not drink any milk / caffeine or eat any solids for the time being. Fine by me, appetite is zero anyway, how rare. I will drink more water too, for those of you who were going to advice me that, I can take care of myself.

Sore about missing my facial and IPL appointment though. I was really looking forward to both. I hope I will manage to slot in another facial appointment before the 19th, prom and Jeremy's wedding dinner which falls smack on Christmas day.

Still no prezzies under the tree, that's not nice...

I hope I'll be alright by tomorrow, there's lotsa work to do, and I think I may have just started growing fond of the place and its people.

Have a great week ahead people! Love lots!

A Reflective Saturday, Sorta Kinda

The love hate thing with glitter polishes. They are so pretty right but such a pain to remove. But because I am a girl, pain is nothing. College Fashion's Top 5 glitter polishes, click here, so so pretty! I want I want.

I was invigilating 2 papers today, Forensic Psych was one, the other paper was Quan Methods. So so boring, but it's extra income, so I shall not complain. Speaking of invigilation, it felt really weird today. The difference from being a student taking exams to being the person invigilating exams. If only that's a good enough sign to indicate that I have grown up some.

Also, gosh, I am a terrible student lah. I read through the question papers after the exam, and for the life of me, I don't remember learning anything that was in those papers. How did I even graduate, it's a miracle in itself. If I had to sit for any of those papers today, I confirm fail.

Also I was flipping through the new academic brochures, the booklet thingy that 'sells' our programs and boasts of our top achievers, many of whom were classmates, some are good friends. People are achieving so much in their lives, scoring perfect grades, going above and beyond, everyone becoming somebody.

Made me feel a tad lousy about myself lah, boohoo, especially after the realization above, that I was not, am not that bright a student... Le sigh ~

My bangs have grown, long enough to be poking my eyes. Should I attempt to trim them myself? It is as simple as cutting a straight line if you think about it.. Ahhh yes yes.

Also! During invigilation today, because there was nothing else to do but stare at the poor students overworking their brains, I noticed how most girls have long hair; that would be 9 out of every 10 females. So.. not unique lah! At that moment, I was thinking, I am gonna do a Emma Watson, snap it all off in my next salon appointment.

Uhh, so wordy today and I am sleepy. I think it's because I haven't had any caffeine for the past 2 days. And I have been eating too much, tummy bulge yuck. Gotta do some proofreading..

One last bit, why are there ants crawling on my bed?! Can't be that I am that sweet lah right? :D

Dear Eyes, stay open. 
Dear Stomach, you're not getting any dinner tonight. 
Dear Heart, always love, never hate.

Why Am I So Tired?

  1. I really have no idea, why am I this tired today.
  2. Had an awesome dinner with Geng and Nicky, definitely ate too much, way too much. Maybe that explains being tired, brain has been helping the stomach to digest food.
  3. She's real pretty. So pretty that I wish I was her.
  4. Didn't wanna post today in fact, but somehow, being tired, I just felt like blabbering.
  5. If I don't hate a person, I'd be friendly. But I really think that people need to understand that being friendly is just being friendly. Don't come too close just because I am friendly. I can't breathe, and I will end up hating you.
  6. Pink finger nails and green toe nails. To think I once was against pink and green going together.
  7. Invigilation tomorrow at 7 freaking 30 am! Which reminds me, I don't know what am I supposed to wear. *proceeds to text colleague to find out*
  8. Secret Wish... Perfume by Anna Sui. Christmas cum New Year gift from then lecturer now colleague.
  9. Need to drink more water.
  10. I hope I wake up tomorrow...
Eyes are shutting. Good night world, have a great weekend everyone. Love lots.

O M G L O L




Mommy almost burn down the kitchen trying to heat up her pie using the microwave oven. 



OMG LOL!

More Often Than Not

"Psychology is the science of understanding people".


My wallpaper. Too cute lah.

Can't remember where I got this from. I hope I don't get sued. 

I have been reading some Psych materials the past 2 days, some work related, some for leisure. More often than not, I want to understand people. I want to know what you're thinking, if only you'd tell me.

On hindsight, please don't play mind games with me. I don't like it, my brain doesn't like it either. It's either you say, or you don't.

Bestie said, You look good. /insert big smile

I was updating my students' list today. And it was an easy job (relatively), doesn't require much brain power, just very very tedious. So Ivy gave me her playlist to listen to while I was ems-ing away. And at one point, this song was playing...



Nice right?

Moment Of Truth

Okay, drinking on a Monday night, defo not the best of ways to kick start the week, lagi lah a work week. Least it was fun while it lasted. The after effect though was just bad, like horrendously, painfully, almost tragically bad.


Note to self (and the rest), no more drinking on a Monday night during a work week. And the colleagues are just fantastic people. Really a big part of loving my job is due to the people I work with. I hope no one leaves any time soon but that.. really is beyond my control.

Oh well, life goes on. And people move on.


Talk about ego boosters. I haven't had any ego boosting for quite some time already, it's totally unhealthy; totally explains why my energy levels have been so low lah! I used to have a steady stream of ego boosters on a regular basis lah, wonder what happened to all my sources, where have they all gone too.

Nevertheless my point is, I had some over the weekend, teehee! Happiness.

Okay, hungry, gonna hunt for some food now.

It's mid week tomorrow people. ;D

Sharing Goes A Long Way



A friend shared this on Facebook, and I like it, so I am sharing it too.

And you, click on THIS!

Too many cute ones, some obscene, some pretty amusing, too many I can relate to, too many too apt.

Have a great start to the week!

Love.

小情歌 by Sodagreen



笨味。。哈哈,开玩笑而已!
但,每次听到这首歌,终都会想起你。

被误认是“杂种妹”, 是好事吧?

Sorry No Cake

But...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!



Love you long long long long longest time.

Overall, It's Been A Good Day

Tonnes of ups and downs today actually. But I feel like I am going to be ending today on a good note. :D

So work was mad today, considering I have been away for 10 days. Amazingly, I cleared out all my backdated emails by 2ish, had lunch and again did some work and then went in for my very first official meeting with the lecturers which pretty much covered my whole afternoon from after lunch till I got off work.

Got home, changed, made an irrational impulsive decision and met the peeps from KT for drinks at SkyBar because it was someone's birthday. Bailed early though, which is amongst one of the best decisions I have made the past couple of days.

Went into Sephora to check out nail colors, played with their greens only to realize Mom is into greens too when she picked me up! Hehe, gonna coax her into buying some new greens for our collection. I like Jade is the New Black! Thanks Mommy! <3

Also, I wanted to treat myself to a mani and pedi but after tonight's expenditure, I don't think I can afford that pampering. Sighs.

Not-so-random-but-still-pretty-random. I really wonder how culture plays a role in how people treat relationships. Because it's kinda true hey, Westerners are more 'loose' when it comes to relationships, or at least those that I have been interacting with. Then again, so are some Asians. At the end of the day, who am I to judge. Pass.

I cannot remember my HSBC online banking username. Can't check if my pay has gone through for the month. =(

Oh ohhhh! On top of my Sail Racing bag, I also got a new pair of sunnies, Sworke Apyros, FOC!

How awesome is that lah! =))

Come Back, Come Back, Come Back To Me Eli

November is coming to an end. It's going to be December soon..

LOL, that was a misleading title wasn't it?

Well, actually, that was really what I thought it was when I heard it on the radio, so I Googled it and realized that it's not. But even when I played the song on youtube, it sure sounded the same.

Taylor Swift - If This Was A Movie



Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I’m still reaching
Even though I know you’re not there

I was playing back a thousand memories baby
Thinking about everything we’ve been through
Maybe I’ve been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing
Cause nothing like this ever happened to them

Now I’m pacing down the hall
Chasing down your street
Flashback to a night when you said to me
Nothing’s gonna change, not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

If you you’re out there, if you’re somewhere, if you’re moving on
I’ve been waiting for you wary since you’ve been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And I just want to see you back at my front door

And I say
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, before you said it’s not that easy
Before the fight, before I left you out
But I take it all back now

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

You’d be here right now
It’s not the kind of ending you want to see now
Figure out a better ending
Oh
I thought you’d be here right now
Whoa oh
Thought you’d be here right now . . .

I have got jelly arms. We did this human centipede thingy today to transfer what seemed like a container full of boxes/ cartons of drinks. It was fun while it lasted albeit really testing ones my strength and fitness. My arms are seriously just dying now.

Back home, back to work tomorrow, back to being what is. :D

Anyone Of Us



I love this song. It's playing on the radio.

Fb is bad, very bad. I see news I don't really want to see. Please don't tell me it's what I had expected. Please. I don't think I can stomach it.

But let's exclude the people, the gist of it is that there really is no such thing as a happy ending in this world is there? I meant the fairy tale kinda happy ending, not the kinky happy ending. Sighs.

I only had one glass of red wine, one cup of vodka and soda, and half a can of gin tonic, still sober much. What was I thinking lah, gosh.

On a brighter note, I got a sail racing bag, Christmas came early!

Being Around People With Super High Energy Levels

Makes me.. tired.

It was like this in the previous company. And it is like this here. I am aware though, that the problem lies with me. Why am I so problematic? No lah, I am just normal.

I don't know how they do it. Rather, how she does it. But meh whatever.

The girls went shopping yesterday. Seemed like they had fun. I really wished I was there too.

Blue nail polish today, supporting our favorite team in the most subtle possible manner.

Go team!

Alcohol Is Sometimes Good For Me

My friend asked me last night, as I was telling her I was drinking, she asked, What type of drunk are you?

I am inclined to believe I am the happy drunk. 
The peaceful drunk. That's awesome isn't it?

Anyway, last night was a good night. You don't typically think that people think when they have had a couple of drinks, but they do!

The sequence is somewhat like the following, they notice things, they observe longer and then they decide to ask/talk about it and you will talk about it too because obviously alcohol reduces restraint.

One question I had last night was, What does your anklet mean?

So anyway, I had dinner with the boys at the most popular halal Chinese restaurant in town (because everyone else was there too), we had a couple of drinks and then we went to have cake at Secret Recipe, oh yums the butterscotch pecan, omg the calories (which reminds me I was supposed to hit the gym this morning which obviously didn't happen and to think that my last visit was 7 days ago).

Then they dropped me back at the pool where I subsequently made the above realization that people do notice things, they just don't talk about it.

Random: I just sneezed twice, someone must be missing me a hell lot this morning.

And I was saying. Hmmm. 

I really hope my contact lenses will come off today, it didn't wanna come out the day before, well one side came off and the other didn't, I went into a panic and texted 6 different people asking for help. It did come out in the end thank God but I was so scared I didn't wear my contacts yesterday and relied on my glasses instead. But rain and sun and whatnot doesn't go well with glasses! 

Though people did say I was cute wearing my glasses! <-- I am a narcissist, I have to say it, cannot help it. :P

Also, I have found the most comforting sleeping arrangement on my awesome king bed in my awesome room... Sorry Mom I didn't allow you to come because I refuse to share my bed, I am selfish! LOL

So right, I have 4 pillows on my bed (which are awesome too no less), and the best method to sleep is to put two pillows on each side of me, with the 2 remaining for my head... It is awesome! Which reminds me that I had a weird dream last night. I only remember it being weird, but I can't remember what was it about though.

So anyway. I probably still have some alcohol left in my body which explains the wordiness of today's post but whatever lah, not like I have anything to do in the office now while everyone else is up at the skipper's briefing... At least no rain in sight yet!

Have a great weekend people. <3

Oops I Did It Again

But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end?
Well, I went down and got it for you.

Maximum cheese.

Had a round of rum and Coke with the rest of the race comm last night (well actually maybe just slightly more than a round), awesome lot, I love them! Crashed without changing into my PJ's even. Woke up at 5 to this song playing on the radio..


Had to post it, I used to be such a fan once upon a time! :D

I have a light heart.
Warmth feels like home to me.
I am quirky.
I am charming.
I rule with my heart.
I am exciting cute.
I am hyper.
I am carefree.
I am too nice.
I am Chai Tea.
I am plucky and brave.

Did you actually click on all the above to read them all?

If yes, well done you.
If no, it's okay. It just means you're normal.

To be completely honest, I didn't do all those quizzes today. Some were accumulated. It's just today seemed like a good day to post them all.

It stopped raining for a bit! =)

Frequent Updates Today; Because I Am Mighty Bored

Primarily because I am probably going to sit in the office the whole of today again, and also because I need to talk.

For starters, yesterday was a hell of a boring day. There was nothing much to do and I was just bored all day.

I have one thing though, that I need to get off my chest.

You know how I am a little anal obsessive compulsive when it comes to orderliness, neatness and cleanliness right? I absolutely can't stand it when people aren't.

It's been raining all morning today, it was raining all day yesterday too. Most sailors are here now, funny how they are all world champions in their own rights, yet some of them are really really down to earth and nice. So that kinda reaffirms the point that not all people who are somewhere up there are snobs.

That's always nice to know.

I was just told, no flip flops tomorrow because some VIP is coming. Sigh, shoes, in this rain. Not fun. Soggy feet.

On the bright side, the volunteers/ kids from KL are here. And one of them, by far, I have spotted one, is pretty cute, he actually said hi to me when no one was in the office. Cheeky much.

I actually haven't done much at all since getting in here this morning. But the gist of it is, most people have arrived, familiar faces some, some not so familiar faces, some totally new... but that's all part of the job.

Time to work some, if I can find something to do that is.

Update I

So Mandy gave me 3 months to get well. I will be well.
In the meantime..

I. AM. REALLY. BORED.

Update II

Quite a bit of stripping was going earlier in the race office. Why do only the old ones strip?!

-____-"

I was only kidding. I should really tell them they need to have at least their t-shirt and shorts on. And no, boxers don't count as shorts Mr. You.

Was so bored earlier I ended up helping them sweep the sail loft floor. That's really how bored I was. I was actively looking for work.

It's funny how all these people keep coming in to have their weights checked when I am so used to people being way under the weight limit.

Anyhow. As bored as I was, I hadn't been over-thinking today. Think I am finally coming to terms with myself yay me. Or maybe it was just hormones previously...

Rain whole day. Rain rain rain. Pizza for lunch. Huge bar of Toblerone from Aussieland. Koala sitting on the top of my screen...

Hmmm, when will today end? So pessimistic..

Actually no, I am just tired of being bored.

Back On Track (Updated Again)

After sleeping for 3 hours on Thursday/Friday night (depending on how you want to see it), and an additional 40 mins on the bus to KLIA, and another 40 mins on the flight to KT, checking in upon arrival, and pretty much go out sailing straight after, I was tired by the end of yesterday.

I like sailing, but I don't like...
  1. Coaching newbies how to sail
  2. On a Foundation 36
  3. Alone
  4. Particularly when they don't take instructions very well
But the guys were alright yesterday. It wasn't that bad. I was just really tired.

Slept a good 8 hours last night. Awesome room, awesome bed. That has to be the best part of working here!

Woke up this morning, went to the gym for a bit, went back, showered, had breakfast, got into the office, had one whole packet of M&M's... 

Same thing again today it seems. Meeting in another 4 mins or so. 

That means, I got to run now!





You Are Simply You








You believe in originality and tolerance. You think the world needs more diversity, not less.
You are not confrontational or aggressive. You take a mild-mannered approach to dealing with people.


You have no desire to lead or follow. Anyone is welcome to join you on your journey for a while.
You are loyal to people no matter what. You remain true.



I am tired again. I don't think it's sleep related this time. And this feeling of tiredness is no good. It's the feeling of being tired of people. And I like people, I shouldn't be tired of people.


Go away stupid feeling.


It's all good now. Old sails come off, new sails go on. That means, no more corporate sailing for me! Anyhow. The afternoon session today was kinda liberating. The people on the boat were really nice people and they took instructions really well, fast learners too. Not whiny and serious enough when I am being serious.

Snacking all day. Had a Boost choco bar for lunch and I am now munching on cheese Pringles and Sunmaid raisins.. I wonder if I'll be losing weight or putting on weight. Shikes..

No rain so far! Bright and sunny day 1, bright and sunny day 2. Let's hope for no rain all week.

I am going to be creating my to-buy-list tonight. If you're planning on getting me something for Christmas, please consult me first okay! =)

Bye for now!

Probably no more updates today unless something really dramatic occurs.. I rather not.

Two Songs For A Thursday Night

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light,
Sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.

Cause everything will be okay,
I know that it's so easy to say,
But the pain inside will fade.



Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you.



Both were songs that 'spoke' to me today while driving...

TGIF tmr! And I am off to KT.

Enjoy! =)

Thoughts Before Bed

A friend once said, 3 times lucky. Maybe? You think? Maybe..

Dear Throat, the doctor said that you're on the road to recovery already! So why are you still coughing? Either the doctor's a cheat or you're just really rebellious.

Colleagues commented on my eyelashes today. One said, "Are they real?"

I am glad that you're getting better, now that I am no longer in the picture. Though I have to admit, it kinda hurts to know that you're better off without me. Or that I was such a hmm... burden (for the lack of a better word, I blame limited vocabulary), for that, I guess I am sorry.

Do me a favor? Don't ask, don't judge, and don't be overly concerned. Thanks.

I don't cough when I am at work. Me thinks, I need more work, or I need to work more. I cannot believe I just said those words.

It seems KT is pouring and I just packed my bags. But ayee, it's really messy. Everything's a mess. Probably should repack my bag.

Mommy gave me money this morning, and it sparked a little debate. It was along the lines of her thinking I am not capable of taking care of myself and me telling her that I am and her telling me, that's only what I think. I am inclined to prove her wrong, I just don't know how to.

Daddy sent me an email too. The rare kind of email, the ones that reminds me how much he loves me. I do feel loved.

Hillsongs - Mighty To Save

Dear Dr M, must you really be such a pain? Must you? I used to really like you, and I don't want to hate you. But if you keep being an ass, I don't think I can make myself not hate you. And while I think I was a bit rude today, I totally think that your demands are far-fetched. Please be nice.

It's okay if you spill my secrets. By the very fact that I told you, I had risked that possibility. It's just that I trusted you enough. I just wished you could've been more honest about it too. But I will still love you anyway.

I am surrounded by such wonderful people. I sometimes wonder if I truly deserve them.

It's just to help me sleep, sweet dreams people around the world! <3

Did You Do Something To Your Hair Today?

No. In fact, today is the only day I didn't do anything to my hair.

I didn't pin my bangs up.

That's the only difference.

I Hate Pain

I really really really don't like pain, not at all. Not one bit.

Yes, yes, I know. Pain makes us grow. Makes us stronger.

At the end of the day, I am still only human.

So I promise I won't hurt for too long. =)

Blogthings Says I Am Goal Oriented




You Are Goal Oriented





You've figured out systems that work for you in life, and you rely on those systems for stability.
You don't dislike alone time... in fact, you savor it. You grow and learn the most when you're by yourself.


Focused and super charged, your instincts are a good guide for your next step.
Sometimes you wish you could express yourself better, but you don't feel like you know how to do it.

AND, BTW, FYI

Half Moon Nails Version 2

Revlon's Craving Coral and Skin Food's black polish

Fulfilling day. =) Let's see. What did I do today. Dimsum, new cardigan, Nando's, Daiso shopping, controlled impulses, Starbucks tumbler, free parking!

I think I need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow. Also need to reply some messages.

In the mood for some mamak food. Consistently hungry today. Alien in my stomach must've reproduced. -_-

Ivy Choong! I have a photo for you, in my phone, about.. something that'll make you wanna pull your hair out. I think Mandy will laugh too. So would Sharon. I think, maybe. Show you at work on Monday because I am too lazy to transfer the file onto my computer and I haven't mastered blogging from my phone.

Off to KT on Friday, doesn't leave me much time to get much done. Better sort out my to do list with those of utmost priority on top..

Hmmmm... =)

I Am Very Easily Pleased

Nothing a good dinner can't cure.

Marmite sotong! <3

It's Friday tomorrow, TGIF! And of course it is the 11-11-11. Doing anything special?

But I question that. Why only do special things on (so called) special days? If you do special things on normal days, normal days become special too!

Humans. And their ways of thinking.

Stuffed. Gonna clear out the closet and do some closet cleaning tonight! =)

I am very easily pleased.

Strange

I am rather successful at being likeable today. As in. Today, I think I am consistently coming across as a likeable person.

Which is, of course a good thing.

I suppose.

Back


It's been pretty good thus far. I hope it stays good. Or it would be even better if it could get any better than it already is... But I shan't be greedy.

Obvious ain't it? It's been a good day. It's been a good long weekend in fact.

Office girl today. Printing documents for the boss and whatnot. Answering phone calls too.

Almost ripped my skirt today. Tried jumping hopping skipping up 3 steps with my work skirt. Bad move. Never do it again.

Also went to the dentist today. He said I need to have my wisdom tooth removed. Don't want to! Scared.

I have a massively long to do list. Wonder if I'll ever clear it.

Got my KT air tickets too. Like finally. 10 days disappearance from the 18th to the 28th.

Looking forward to my home in KT once more..

Friday, November 4

Good Morning World

It's Friday! TGIF!

Gigi still sakit. =(
Probably really should go get it checked.

I will be on leave over the weekend. =)
Don't expect to hear from me till Monday night/ Tues morning.

Happy be-earlied birthday Betsy Yeo, your present...

LOL. Love you!

Miss me, but don't miss me too much, I'll be back!

Thursday, November 3

Dear Mr Grumpy,



I hope you're not so grumpy anymore.
Grumpy people don't smile. 
But smiling is good. 
You told me so.

Love,

Things I Can Do If I Wanted To

I can cry very easily if I wanted to.

And I Missed The First Bus Again

But it wasn't bad. Because I just waited for the second bus and made it to work anyway. =)

I am good at some things. OK at others, not so good at some. But some things, I just completely fail. And this has to be one of it.

I've lost my train of thought again. Rawr.

My wisdom tooth is hurting me again... =(

One Question, 4 Words



What was I thinking.


And Here Comes November

I just had the urge to write about something this morning.

My work inbox is filled. And I have yet to really read through them. But quickly, some thoughts first.

2 more months till year end. Where on Earth did the other 10 months go to? It's true, the older you grow, the faster time flies. Ugh.

If I think of it in terms of production line... This is how it goes. The parents as in the main factory. So the planning starts, then the production. then the testing and then the development, then further development and then the packaging. I am a pretty good package no? You have to agree.

My parents did a fasntastic job I reckon. /glee

Started doing work mid way so this was left hanging... And I can't think now because my brain is on work mode already.

Might update this again later... Might not.

What Is There To Say Today

Let's see.


Work was fulfilling. Relatively productive day. Productive days go by quickly. I like. 


This is playing on the radio now! And it's drizzling outside, how apt! Everyday it will rain rain rain...



Hm. I managed to play with my phone settings and today I managed to survive the entire day with my battery at 50% balance when I got home.


Another awesome song... Laura Story - Blessings





Well done you! =))

It's Not Competition; It's Compatibility

If I don't tell or don't say, it's not because I wanna hide something or because you are not important. It most likely is because I don't know how to tell you. 

More accurately so, at least 90% of the time it's because I don't know how to. The other 10% is probably really because that 10% don't deserve to know and frankly speaking, in every ten humans I know, there would be one whom I feel is irrelevant. And majority of you reading this, are NOT the 10%!

So really, if you one day find out something that I did not or have not or have yet to tell you, please do not be upset with me. 

Can?

An Appreciation For Pretty Things

Pretty people included.



I probably won't be going online tonight. Ever since smartphone became a part of my life, lappie has taken a back seat. Probably also due to the single fact that there's nothing to look forward to going online now. =/

I'll be home late tonight anyway. Halloween Night in school, "chaperoning" activities. -_-

Speaking of smartphone, my phone has proven to be a tad too smart for me lah. I woke up late 3 days in a row because I failed to set my alarm accordingly. Pretty dumb.

The video itself is pretty. I like the whole snow, elaborate dresses, jewellery, mysterious, dove combination. But see, the thing about pretty girls like those in the video is that they put the standard so high and make the rest of us look... I don't even know the word for it. But they really do look pretty, even I can't help watching the video every time I need to refresh my eyes!

Okay, back to work.

TGIF; have nice weekend everyone! =)

Melt


Dinner with the uni mates yesterday all the way in Tanjung Sepat. Rainy weather. But it was so good. I miss my friends. I really do love them all very very very much.

New phone btw! White Samsung Galaxy SII. =))

An Interesting State

I am not nomish peckish today, Ivy says it's because I am not stressed. But I don't know. I don't think I am stressed either but, it's just interesting because I don't feel like I am fully functioning either.

Hm. How strange.

Anyways. Like I said, I am not functioning at optimum so I am taking some time off pretending to be working to actually write this.

This morning, I left home 2 minutes later from my usual and the bus literally zoomed past me. Without even slowing down. And the best part of this whole thing was that I was actually up way earlier today. The intention was to wake up early, repark the car, and go jog, which I didn't succeed in doing in the end. Boo to the hoo.

Anyway, I was 10 minutes late to the office but all's good. Even better was Ivy gave me her pink Daisy! Apparently Maybank was giving out free daisies in conjunction with the breast cancer awareness month. I don't know how giving out pink Daisies on the streets will contribute to the campaign but I am definitely not complaining. =)

Tonight's a tricky situation right. It's Kevin Saw's birthday with friends and Apple is in town and I while I really want to be at both places with both parties, I obviously can't. Sigh. I hope that my friends know that no matter what I do, I really do love them all very very much.

I think I know what's the problem.

The Punjabi suit that Betty bought for me is really uncomfortable. =(

I Guess It Is Kinda True

Nothing really does lasts forever. And it's kinda scary. But that's life. Sorta kinda.

My brain's kinda exhausted, from over-thinking the unnecessary again probably.

I've always thought we could be friends. But I guess that doesn't seem like the case. Fine by me to be honest. I just really hope that this won't always be the case.

People should just fear less, live more.

Hate less, love more.

Forgive and forget.

Anyways. A little too tired to recap the happenings of today, not that there was much going on.

Bought new pumps! Yay me.. Missed coffee, which I was actually kinda looking forward to.

A good question: Why do you keep in contact? And the answer: "I'll keep the ones who keep me close". So apt, not my own words but I quote and share the exact sentiment.

"I'll keep the ones who keep me close".

Happiness Combo

I just had Jap buffet with the rest of the family at the old PanPac in town, it was yummyness! The only thing they didn't have which would have made me super happy was the lack of Green Tea ice cream.

And the uncle was really sweet today. He said I became skinnier since we last met which was at dimsum before KT.


I think it has everything to do with good angles, lighting and whatnot because there is no freaking way that I have lost any weight since.

But a compliment is still a compliment lah at the end of the day so I am one happy girl!

The whole of today has been about food now that I think about it. Dimsum for bf with Chai, mani and pedi before IKEA meatballs lunch with Mommy, and then it was some shopping... Bought some random statement tees again, told you it's a love hate relationship I have with those tees, and then I bought myself a pair of sandals too, ah, super love! And then it was dinner lah...

I wanna go have some Earl Grey now and potentially read a book before bed.

Long exciting day tomorrow with the little brother who no longer seems so little anymore. <3

I Finally Found It

I have been hearing this on the radio so often lately and I've been trying to find the title to it but was never successful until this morning that is! So happy!



Tear Us Apart - Nadhira Feat. Ron E Jones


From the first time we met each other
I knew that we'd be together
I saw in your eyes
It's just a matter of time

Don't know if this feels like the real thing
Tell me what to do where do I begin
Don't know where to start
Should I let you in my heart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Girl you know that now we're together
I won't leave your side forever
You know that i'm yours
Baby, you're my only girl in the world

Now I have no reason to be alone
Fell in love with you
You are now my home
I'll always be true
I see no one else but you

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us
Ain't nothing gonna tear us apart

And all it took was one touch, one kiss
I've never felt love like this
I pray I wish we can have this forever

I told you from the very start
It's always gonna be about us
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

I knew that we would make it this far
No nothing's gonna tear us apart
Just don't go and break my heart
Baby, don't go and break my heart

OK Is The Word

Feelings of being incompetent kills me. Very much.

As it is, I am a little stressed up, tensed. So I am taking a breather, though I have a huge workload waiting to be done.

I hope I'll be alright.

I know I will be though, just somehow. *exhales*

4 Minutes To Midnight

I finally had my Green Tea Latte, yay!

And stop staring at me, you're making me feel strange.

Casual Friday tomorrow, and not to forget, TGIF!

I really need to sort some stuff out.

Defining casual Friday's is definitely one of them.

Which Came First? The Egg or the Chicken?

I know it's an old riddle but I am not asking for the answer, not today, not in this case.

Just that this is the exact feeling I am having right now. I have thoughts that I want to share but I can't think of the proper sequence to begin with. So this may very well be a very messy entry.

You be the judge at the end of it.

So anyway. Hmm, I shall start with, yes..

I got my HELP Staff Parking Tag today! Now all I need is a car to drive to and fro work. Which reminds me of the research that I have yet to do.

So because of my non-existent car, I sometimes take the bus home which I actually enjoy because I get to be alone and well, be alone for a bit. And walks can be pretty refreshing, when it is not scorching hot. I have this weird issue with buses though. Skip the whole next paragraph if you wanna spare yourself from some bus story.

Like, when it is packed like sardines in the bus, and passengers who are stuck somewhere in the middle needs to get off. Just how does that work? By the time they squeeze their way through the exit, the bus driver would have driven off already! And then you'd think, if you need to get off at the next station, you should start making your way to the exit before you reach your station. Right? But, the bus is so packed that you simply can't move.  Then you'd think, just stand near the exit when you board the bus in the first place, right? But you can't! Because you have to move in in order for other passengers to get on the bus.

See! Valid arguments no? Can someone please provide me with some insights on how to take a bus that's 110% packed to its brim and get off at your stop without having to scream "Excuse me" at the top of your lungs.

And done with bus story. So I was saying, I took the bus home from work and because the bus doesn't stop right outside my house, I have a fair bit of walking to do, say, 5 minutes worth? As I got off the bus today, I realized it was drizzling. Awesome, I thought to myself, chance to use my new pink umbrella!

So I took out my pink umbrella and started my slow walk back home. And as I was walking, obviously I started to think about things, which I can't remember every one of them now.

Of what I remember though...

Dinner with the girlfriends is being pushed back by an hour because we all have priorities, and at least for now, work is priority for most. As my mind was lingering around the idea of dinner, I realized how much I have been spending on dinner since I got back. Dinner on Sunday, dinner on Monday, dinner and drinks on Tues (technically dinner was paid for, so I paid for drinks), dinner tonight, dinner tomorrow probably drinks again... *exhales*

I need to work on my spending too. Have yet to get around to jotting down though I have meant to do so eons ago.

I opened mom's fridge and saw that she had Mango Lassi! So I stole some.

Also, my room, well my closet mainly, is in one huge freaking mess because I haven't had the time to sort out my clothes. It was messy already before I left KT and my laundry incident didn't help either. As I was walking home just now, I was telling myself, "Great, since dinner is pushed back, I should go clean up so that when Ivy comes to stay over tonight she won't have to see my mess."

But obviously, I have yet to get around to packing because here I am, talking to myself, on my blog.

Okay, bye, got to go feed Doggie, pack up my mess and potentially paint my toe nails if there's more time to spare before dinner.

Bye, for now!

Really Need To Control My Nom Nom Habits

I nom, and nomed, and nom, and nomed and nom the whole entire day.

What was supposed to be bf was pre-bf snack, what was for lunch became between-bf-and-lunch snack and lunch was totally unplanned but I ate lunch anyway and then there was lots of snacking in between then till now. And I've got dinner tonight too. =/

Bloat. Bloating. Bloated. The next level will be *kaboom* Explosion!

Why is nom nom noming so bad!

Next Chapter

  1. I tripped TWICE today, once in the morning and another time when I was buying lunch.
  2. I trimmed my bangs and had dinner with Mandy.
  3. I need to go get groceries. But mommy is not home till Wednesday!
  4. Kakak is sick, so she didn't do my laundry today, which meant I had to do it on my own otherwise my dirty clothes would start to get moldy. And then now I realize I don't have enough hangers. -__- Why didn't I just send them to the dobi. Too smart.
  5. I lost one side of my favorite pair of earring today! I always lose one side of all my favorite pairs of earrings. Damn sad. 
Okay anyway, this is just a real quick one, got lots of things to follow up on before I crash tonight.

Bye Bye KT

The wind is blowing damn strong now, it's damn nice. Like really damn nice. I wish I didn't have to go home yet.

Since it's the last day, I made it a point to end with a PhotoLog entry.


Day 13

I learnt a couple of things this time round, some are not new stuff but definitely lessons worth reinforcing.

I'd say, I had a good 13 days here and I am happy. =))

Mean Machines

So the whole qualifiers has officially ended.  Phew!

Mean machines was referring to the sailors who seem to never run out of strength. Amazing lah. Sailing the F36 is suicidal for me as it is, even in light airs, but watching the guys do it, I really wonder what they run on.

Okay, work now. Grrr.
