It's August Tomorrow

It's amazing how one can hit a high note one second and a low note the very next. Human powers amaze me. And I wasn't referring to singing or anything close.

Relationship 101, not that I am one with the best credibility, more like the lack of but hear me out anyway. People always say, we always want what we cannot get and we always take for granted what we have. True, we always want what we cannot get because some people just like the challenge or maybe for some it's just the whole well-I-wasn't-going-to-get-it-anyway mentality.

But this is my take on "we always take for granted what we have" bit. You cannot just be with someone just because he or she likes/ loves you lah right? That's not being fair to him or her. So it's not that we aren't appreciative, we're being realistic and in a semi twisted sense, we're being fair.

* I wasn't sure if I should be using we/ they/ I but "we" seemed like the best bet so I just went with it

Of course, the same saying when used in other contexts may differ in interpretation but I already said, Relationship 101, hello, are you following?

Moving on. How am I to lose weight and/or get toned if I am THIS lazy lah. HOMG. Why can't people lose weight just by doing nothing and eating whatever they want to. T__T So much flabs. Ugh.



I actually do love what I do. I mean, there's no such thing as all good but there's such a thing as more good than bad. Everyone in the office is falling sick though, one by one.. Time to boost the immune system with some Vitamin C. Our pantry is going to be ready soon too! Excited!

My 'hamper' from Mentholatum just arrived - I've got about 13 lip balms waiting to be tested and tried out now. Anyone?

My bangs were not very friendly today. Meh hair day.

And a Sungha Jung piece to end:



Bye July! August, play nice.. Thanks!

Triple Posting Is The Way To Go



Strawberries for dinner! 
.. Om nom nom nom..




I was doing so well, until the strawberries came along. 

Words



Backlash. Feelings. Modus operandi. Comfort zones. Double standards.
Olympics. Dreams.  Diet. Exercise. Cheat. Coffee.
Codes. Florals. Pastels. Mc Cafe. 
People. It's always people.


No Sleep


Sodagreen; 无眠

Photos Oh Photos

The power of one photo beats a thousands word. Or something like that. True indeed.

I just got back from dinner which two of the girls ffk-ed to, RAWR! Nevermind. Ate with Ivy or rather Ivy watched me eat since she wasn't hungry. And I overdid it, stuffed to the brim. Am suffering from another bout of indigestion. Green tea to the rescue.

Sorry for not updating the past couple of days.. They've been fun but they're all yesterday's now.

I don't like how I allow external factors to get to me so easily. But the bottom line is, I've always wished for everyone to be happy. And if that's what it is, my wishes have come true.

I will be happy too. I can be happy too.

When The Clock Strikes 12

It is Friday! :D

Don't know if my new routine is doing me more good or bad. But okay lah, least I sleep well at night.

I've got questions I want answers to. Why? Why oh why! Zzzz, it's a good thing I am tired. Shan't argue, shan't complain. 

Half day tomorrow, I hope I'll manage to clear all my errands I had set out to do!

Neither Here Nor There

It's been one of those days where I can't quite grasp if it's been good or bad or neither... Just one of those days.

I had a conversation with a friend earlier today, whereby he mentioned he was having a meh Tuesday and I said that my Monday was meh so I had full intention to make my Tuesday non-meh. And I even told him to undo his meh Tuesday by putting in more effort to make it a good Tuesday.

So much for the gungho-ness when I don't know if I succeeded myself. The irony.

Feels like I didn't quite make it though.

It's one of those, feel like I was okay, and then feel like I could have done better and then *bam* it hits that it wasn't okay.

I don't know, maybe I am being too hard on myself, it is a possibility except I don't think the bar was set very high to begin with. Meaning to say, I am achieving below average. Not good, not good at all. 

Am thinking of heading to bed earlier and getting up to go for a quick run in the morning before work. Hopefully it'll help in providing some new perspectives, I hope.

I'll wake up early tmr, wish me luck. /four leaf clover

Haha, Still Got Market

Yay! I can walk normally and can even climb stairs with almost no audible "Ouch!" or "Ugh!" now.. Speedy recovery for the win! :D

Work was boring today. And I was extremely extremely peck-ish too. Talk about going on a diet.

Shopping yesterday was fruitful, got my skinny jeans and pastel shorts and photo frame for my certificate. And a pretty yellow shimmer polish which I cannot wait to try out! What's left on my to buy list is a new backpack and some new shoes..

Let's see.. Working late tomorrow then dinner at where lil bro is working part time, dinner and Dark Knight on Wednesday, dinner with CF on Thursday and dinner and drinks on Friday..

The week is looking good, hopefully there'll be more to do in the office so I'll pay less attention to my ever hungry tummy too!

When I Say That My Face Is My Rice Bowl

I really do mean it. I don't know why people keep thinking I am making a joke out of it.

And now, I have this pimple like growth to the right of my nose. Problem is, it doesn't seem like the normal standard pimple and it's been there for a good week already. 

Truthfully, I am scared. Very scared.

Today, I am tired to the core and pretty much at the end of my wits too. I was questioning myself at one point. And Bestie gave me the best words I needed, perhaps wanted to hear.

"Because you are a strong and crazy girl".

Mt Kinabalu; Freaking Conquered Yo

So here I am sitting in front of my computer back in the comfort of my own home thinking about the events that occurred over the past week...

And all I can say, is that it feels so damn surreal!

The only thing that confirms the fact that we did make it to the peak are the photos which proves that

"I FREAKING MADE IT TO THE PEAK OF MOUNT KK!"

Of course, the pain associated with every single step/ move I make reminds me of that fact too.

=)

People keep asking, "So will you do it again?" -___-

Please lor... You think climb mountain very easy is it?
No, I won't. Once in my lifetime, is good enough. Really.

This whole jungle, mountain trekking thingy really isn't my element lah. But I did enjoy it while I was at it. Sans the whole knees going wonky and threatening to give way and the 10-steps-I-am-outta-breath hike, and the cold and the height and the steep steep cliffs.. /shudders

It's amazing how I made it, even I myself still can't believe it.

But seriously, how awesome was the whole experience, only I can answer, only I can tell, only I can remember. I am proud of myself, that certificate is one I am gonna frame and keep for a long long time.

Famine Group Leader training the whole of tomorrow, am doing well with my 50 things to do!

How's yours coming along?

Away For The Next 4 Days

I just woke up from a really weird dream. It was part camping, part sailing part of everything really. A tonne of familiar faces too...

But anyway.. It's time for The Climb.



LOL

Pray for our climb, for our safety, for our health and for fair weather!

Bye, till I get back.. =)

Hypnotized By Drums


The Wanted; Chasing The Sun

"When the daylight's fading, we're gonna play in the dark, till it is golden again..." Oh yes!

Bags are 90% packed, flying tomorrow, climb starts Tuesday (also Heng's birthday!) and Wednesday determines if we make it to the peak and all the way back down. Flying back on Thursday.

So many things I want to do after that too, but that's for later - after I get back.

For today, big breakfast and get some ors and snacks for the trip, I am excited! :D

Jealousy Radar Ping-ed

I don't understand how they can all be so pretty!


T-ARA; Don't Leave

But this is a nice song.

Lunch now with Boon Woei! Laters!

Sometimes, It Isn't About Others

Because we lack the courage, we fall short of our own expectations, our own ideals. So let's be courageous in our own ways.

It turned out to be a pretty good week actually. =)
Thank you, Week! <3

听听两首华语歌。。让我跌倒-可晴,还有,黄美珍的途中。好听吗?

A blast to the past - I really brought it onto myself didn't I? If I could turn back time, which I can't, so let's not go there. Anyway, I wish you all the best. I really do.

The next couple of months looks pretty exciting actually. So much to look forward to. Can't wait!

Future, bring it on! :D

Unhealthy Eating 101

Good friends will always bring out the best in you. Whether you realize it or not. <3 Just saying.



Juniel; illa illa (with Eng subs)

So pretty. illa illa illa anyone? =)

Today is seriously unhealthy diet to the core. I double dosed on cereal today because I poured too much milk into my cereal bowl and had my usual morning coffee before I left home. Then Ivy called to say she bought me nasi lemak - how to refuse nasi lemak you tell me!

Then I had the awesome kopi from downstairs, makes a latte pale in comparison (literally, pun intended) but lattes are typically healthier since they're sans sugar and/or condensed milk.

And then it was Maggie Goreng for tea break and then Chatime Strawberry Kiwi with rainbow jelly to sum it all up!

Sinful max can but nvmd after KK it will be full on toning for the perfect beach body!  


So I say. LOL

A Moment, A Dream, A Love, A Laugh


The Temper Trap; Sweet Disposition

Soothing this tune I find, do you like it too? I found my new favorite smartphone free app btw, it's called SoundHound! =)

I have a question that I've wanted to ask for quite some time now..

是在躲我吗?Didn't we promise that even if things go awry we'd still talk and be friends??

But it's okay. I understand that not all promises can be kept. Things we learn as we grow up. This is the second time now, that the same promise has not been kept. Maybe the problem lies in the nature of the promise and the people relevant to it. I shall refrain from making that promise again in future. As long as we learn from our past mistakes right? =)

I reckon I am doing alright though.

LOL

I am fine thanks.
I wasn't contemplating about life. At least not at that point when the question was asked.

Mount KK in 5+ days! Oh gosh the nerves.. Pray for me! Love you thank you!

Greener Pastures

"Bare Face Selca"
Think I can make it if I were a Korean celeb? And Mike Wan, I've been to Korea but it wasn't for you-know-I-know-what-you-are-going-to-say.

Anyway. Today started off on a scary note. With a lot of doubts and not knowing what I'd be getting myself into. But I thank God that today is seemingly ending on a good note.

Which brought me to think, maybe greener pastures are what we make it out to be. You say?

You Get Some Right, You Get Some Wrong


Someday; U-KISS

I have been thinking, "What type of an adult do I want to grow up to become?" 

That is probably part of what's been tiring me lately. And I still don't have an answer. But I guess, there's no definite "correct" answer to this case too.

Oh well, we do what we can..

Time for some Sunday morning coffee! =)

The Middle Seat




You Are a Middle Seat





You are an outgoing, friendly, and likable person. You enjoy being in the middle of the action.
You trust others freely. You enjoy cooperating and collaborating with people from all walks of life.


While no one likes being in the middle seat, you're happy to make the best of it.
Your positive outlook creates a lot of stability and security... both for yourself and for those around you.

So Many Things To Say

But this, has to be the highlight. Today is the day, we all learnt that Pia, isn't really Pia. As a matter of fact, Pia is actually Din.

Nope, not making a reference to transgender or sex change but really.. 

It's just Ivy's handwriting. :P

Poor Din, imagine everytime we called him Pia!

The Things I Say Sometimes

"I can't work now, I am too full, my brains are in my stomach." Very bimbo meh?

I can't quite tell if it is psychological or if I really have a calcium deficiency but I swear my right knee has been making these crack!-ing sounds recently.

And I almost semi sprained my left ankle today too. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

Damn I miss being out on the water. I don't get why everyone is so keen for me to start a girls team. Let me lay it down for you, apart from eye candies for you guys, I don't see any other straightforward benefits.

Girls are more vicious than guys, you think guys sailing together is scary? Think again. People say, guys fight and argue on the water but when they're back on shore, all is said and done. It's true that girls hold onto grudges way longer, let's just put it that. Ever sailed with a bunch of girls? We scream way louder and may potentially be more vulgar at times too.

It's more of the mental barrier that I am not willing to go through than the physical one, girls may not be as strong and as fit but that's just an excuse. It's really just that girls do scare the crap out of me, put them all together, perfect recipe for disaster.

I also said something along the lines of because food is solids and because drinks are liquid, even when you are very full from food, you can still have drinks because liquids will sip their way through solids.

It's science! It makes perfect sense! Pfft!
