Not in a very positive mood...

Things have been going up and down recently. Happy most of the time... angry at some point... trying to stay as positive as I can.

Finally I've managed to keep some pounds off my body. Perhaps it's due to the positive feeling I've recently developed from reading books.. well online books tho.. (trying to safe up some money ;)). Tomorrow will be the third yoga class and I am enjoying these classes. Years back I have attended a class or two but they gave me a scary feeling and sensation. Somehow I thought I would never understand and keep up to a yoga class. However, it's different now.. and I'm embracing these good vibes... working out, keeping a positive mind and trying to maintain a healthy relationship with people around me.

I will be leaving the country in another 2 days for a short trip with my family. Unfortunately, my husband & baby won't be joining us for this trip. Nevertheless they will be close to my heart wherever I go. Perhaps a short break is what I needed to keep things straight. Have I mentioned about changing my job middle of this year, being more health conscious and re-ignite my old hobby...reading.

Kelly Sweet - Why

Kelly Sweet - Ready for love

Lets share a bit of what I'm obsessed recently, the 2 songs I don't mind listening to over and over again while indulge into my favourite pass time. Something about the way Kelly Sweet sings which melts me from within. Probably I love songs that come with a lil bit of humming.. feels like paradise.. LOL

Till next time!! 

Time passed by swiftly without realising...

I don't even remember when was the last time I visited my blog... this very blog I have abandoned..

Well, I guess it's time to pick up the bits and pieces.

The last post indicated that I was still single and look at me now... I'm married with a son! :)
He's already 19 months, not giving me much of a problem I would say.

When I was much younger, I spent a lot of my time reading... for the record, not school books. I read so much that I didn't dare got back into reading for quite some time as I know I would never stop once I start picking up this so call free time hobby (or shall I say full time hobby... as I would overwrite everything for reading).

So recently, a dear friend of mine introduced me to reading again, specifically a romance novel. I was so drawn to it that I'm already in my 3rd series. Told ya I wouldn't stop *wink*. Nevertheless, I never regret that decision to start reading again. What I'm feeling right now if excitement, joy and satisfaction and of course all that made me feel so much better in life.. like a sense of looking forward to the future.

Life is never dull.. I guess I have to thank my wild imaginations!! It makes me feel light and happy..

Anyways, I guess I need to release all these feelings here otherwise I would explode literally.

Till next time...

Appreciating Life~

First and foremost, thank you for giving me another chance. I do appreciate it and I'll try my very best to improve myself.

Bad day?!

It's not a good day.. in fact it's a very bad day and this applies to especially my darling and I'm affected as well. What have we done to deserve this? *sigh*

In the afternoon, I received a phone call from my darling telling me all his hard earn cash was stolen. I was devastated and heartache of course and I can understand if my darling felt worse. I never would expect this to happen.. anyhow it did.

Darling, if you happen to drop by, I just want to let you know I'm always here for you!

Freakingly weird!

I'm supposed to be sleeping by now as I'll resume working tomorrow after 10days of MC. However, something freaking weird just happened and I must have this blog before I hit the sack.

A uni-mate of mine happen to send me a message on MSN whom I usually never had conversations with as he happened to be a friend of my friend. So, here goes the conversation :

Liew says
Hey

Me :
hi

Liew says
I just took an IQ quiz here.. pretty cool

Me :

Liew says

Me :

Liew says :

Me :

Liew says :

Me :

=)

Liew says :

Me :

Liew says :

Me :

Liew says :

Liew says :

Me :

Liew says :
BRB .. take that test!

Me :

Me :

So, being the usual CURIOUS me, I googled iqscoretest4 (part of the website) and I bumped into a blog which also encountered the same issue. I was right!! It's a VIRUS; which is able to respond.

So Guys, beware and do not simply click on the websites given by your friends or even your bestest pals through MSN unless you're 100% sure.

Ciao~~ off to bed! Everyday is a new day! Nitey Nitey~
P/S : Sleep tight my darling. Sweet dreams~

What a month.....

Hello~~ I'm back but I'm not sure if I know how to write / post a post in my blog..

Anyways, there was and still is so many things I have to adapt to for the past few months and that's part of the reason for my hiatus. Sorry beloved blog for abandoning you... *pats*

I guess it's fair to start the blog again with something I feel like sharing the things happened ever since I go on hiatus.
1) Family reunited *finally*
2) Meets darling lesser
3) Change of work
4) Stress level
5) Health

Well, ever since my family members reunited, I've been meeting my darling much lesser except for weekends. Apart from that, we're both very busy with out jobs, him having to work on two jobs and I, adapting to my new job environment. However, I'm blessed with the care and love he has for me and I'm grateful for that.

There is definitely an impact to my life i changing my career path. It's still too early to determine if it's a good or bad impact but the obvious changes are higher stress level, more pressure, better income etc etc. I'm still adapting as what I'm doing now is completely new.

Then, recently I'm down with chicken pox - which cause me my sales target *sigh* (an excuse =P) and I have been having a toothache for weeks now as well as heartaches from not achieving what I want.. there's so many to think and yet so less time and ability.

Anyways, for a recap - this month, since 10th Aug 2010, the entering of GHOST festival (Chinese's 7th Month), the month I had chicken pox, the month I went Langkawi with my darling, the month with 2 public holidays and many more.

Till then...Ciaoz

Boring..

I'm currently jobless right now. Bf's busy, friends are busy, colleagues (ex) working at the moment. Today is a peaceful day but a boring one. Well, I know I should have rested but I don't feel like taking a nap. Weather's warm..

My new job is going to start in another 2 weeks time. It's a new challenge as it's not something I've done before but I will of course TRY MY VERY BEST to accomplish each task given to me. I hope it's a new beginning to a better life. At least it's what I want and I'll work for it.

Missing my bf now, wondering what he's doing...

All good things come to an end? I hope not..

Good morning world!

This year started not so well... or rather not as smoothly as I want to. Come to think about it, it's because I wanted to change my life, so much that I have to face all these.

First, I must learn to be patient. Then, determination and strong-willed must follow. I must learn to be strong as well, strong enough to accept rejection. I'm not used to accept rejection, probably I always get what I want. It's very hard to digest the feelings and it's very disheartening. However, this is what I'm determined to do and I will face it.

In my opinion, support is very important in times like this. I still feel I lack the support but probably I was just asking for too much.

Adaptation is essential for changes like this. I must learn to adapt to the environment. Life isn't like how it used to be so, I will learn to accept and follow the flow as many would mention that since I cannot change the changed, I might as well adapt to it.

Next week should be the week where I may know if I'm about to change my life.. Let's hope and pray for the best. Mom, I know you'll always guide me =)

Till next post world!

Down period

I guess I haven't been feeling this low/down for quite some time and I don't know how to digest everything on time.

All I can do is just wait and be patient...till again

Why are you treating me so?

Why do I always get this kind of treatment?!

It hurts me alot. Have you forgotten what you've promised?

Hectic Month

Hello once again. It's been a hectic month for me with lots of mind bugging matters.

First, my ROOM.. I need to get it cleared it up. It's a mess and when I say a mess, it is really a mess.

Second, my senior will be leaving the company and no one more senior than me left in the company. However, that isn't my main concern, I will be loosing another friend I know at work. I will have another less friend.

Third, this I cannot reveal as I won't know if it will affect me if others know about this. It's a challenge and something new to me. I hope it can work and I wish for a change of environment. =)

Fourth, Chinese New Year is coming and I haven't get my new attire, shoes, etc.

I'm easily tired recently and I think it's due to the challenge I have to face and yet to meet.

I have to thank a person dearly. If it wasn't for him, his guidance in my first step forward, I will still be my previous state. He's like a brother, helpful and willing to guide me through all the hassle. I will always remember his advises and particularly this "Do not react, respond". Simple but full of inspiration.

What a way to start the new year..

Of all things happen, I fall sick on New Year's Day! At first, throat was dry and then it started to itch till I have to cough as if I'm coughing my lungs out. Now, my nose is so irritated that I almost sneeze but fail each time which ended up with watery eyes.

However, later, dear and I will be watching Avatar which was highly recommended by friends and my bro. Till then..

Happy New Year 2010

A decade has past and I'm still alive. I didn't go to any parties, countdowns or outings. However, I was in the car while the fireworks was blasting and I manage to take a glimpse of it.

I have no more energy to go out and have fun as my work has already drained most or should I say ALL of it. Thinking about work tomorrow can really kill me as there are still so many unfinished work. What a new year to start with?! *lol*

As usual, I don't set any resolutions as I believe, if I want to start anything new, I won't wait till next year. Doing is always better than thinking only. But then, I will still hope this year will be a better year.

I'm now contemplating on whether I should go out or not.. Anyway, I better get myself prepared. Happy New Year everyone! May your new year be blessed and do look ahead to your new year coz' everything's gonna be alright!

A surprise outing

Well, well... today's outing wasn't a pre-planned outing. It was set when my dear Mel texted me to hang out and so we went, me, Dave and Mel.

As usual, we walked around, shopped around which I didn't get myself anything, funny coz I don't have the mood to buy anything. I guess I was too tired since I bowled earlier this afternoon. Bowling was fine but wasn't marvelous. Score sucks! Anyway, ignore the bad stuff coz I want to focus on the happy stuff today. =)

Mel got herself some accessories which was great. Hmm.. feeling regret not getting anything for myself. Nevermind, at least I get to save $$ (hope Mel won't read this).

Seeing Mel in her new haircut really made me more desperate for a new haircut too.. but I have to withstand the temptations as I will have have my hair cut next month since Chinese New Year is 2 months ahead. I don't just need a new hair cut but a hair FIX. Can't wait to see how my hair will turn out to be. Hopefully it will be ok, fingers crossed!

After dinner, Mel suddenly brought out her camera which I drained her battery totally just to camwhore. *giggles* Well, obviously I wasn't a good poser. I had Mel to guide me in which I still fail. I'm always stiff and only shows the same facial expression and pose. However, today I dared myself (though still fail). We laughed so much and I enjoyed the outing.

After dinner

Warm-up session

Warm-up session 2

Close-up

I love this a lot!

Pose taught by Mel
WTF

I was complaining about my hair and Mel gave me some ideas on reducing the defects WT

Photographer of the day! Thanks darling!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

First of all, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS greeting to everyone! Again, a long pause since my last entry. I have been lazy and busy at the same time. This year's Christmas wasn't as great as any others. Well, due to a few reasons.

A month or two ago, the company I'm working in abolished the OT claims and that was after a salary reduction. That left us or probably myself only unhappy. However, the positive side of this is I don't have to work myself to at least 11 - 10 hours a day which really tires me. The bad side, yeah as you all can guess, lower income. Since started working for OTs months ago, I got myself a stiff neck which still hurts whenever I bend my neck backwards. Not sure if it's due to work or posture or even my sleeping posture.

Then, due to year end, workload increased. We have to work more despite no claims but then the company decided to allow OT claims from the 23rd till month end. Not to mention the tiny claims. I still don't find the appreciation I deserve from this company. Since they allow claims, I couldn't get myself to punch out as usual. I don't want to see my colleagues to suffer due to manpower shortage. I was so tired that I was asleep during the countdown. What a sad Christmas year, no where to go, nothing to do..

A week ago, the company offered me a not too good position which I need to be based in another state. I have other things in mind that's why I never request for more.

Apart from work, my mouth is giving me trouble. It hurts whenever I open my mouth as the sides were cracked. It was windy recently and probably it's dry. Like the Chinese say, dry wind *lol*. It has always been like this every year end. Oh ya..have a I mentioned dry lips as well? It bleeds every now and then despite how many gallons of water I drank each day. However, it's slowly recovering.. since I have to open my mouth every now and then, speak, eat, drink and even to brush my teeth.

Seems like I start of this entry sadly. Enough of that I supposed. During the Christmas season, shopping malls are known to set up nice Christmas decorations and I've only managed to visit a few. However, I didn't take shots for all of them. Just a few.

At the Curve

At the Street, Curve

Spotted this disturbing piece at the bazaar (Curve)

Manage to meet my Mentor (Yap) with my colleague (WenHan).
At MidValley, with Candles.

Oh ya, I'm currently into hair bands and other unique accessories.. As you can see in the pictures. I think those hairbands can at least keep my hair slightly tidier. Ya.. I know, it looks like a mess.. and now I have to crack my head to find the right hairstyle for myself for the coming new year. Any ideas?

Once again, Merry Christmas everybody! May your Christmas be joyful and wonderful and memorable and nice and glorious etc etc.

Awaiting.....

Yes, I'm awaiting for something. Supposed to get it yesterday but it's only available TODAY!! Hopefully *fingers cross*.

Getting excited each second. It's the thought of being able to use it online wherever I can, the thought of using something new that excites me.

Till later!! *Heart skips a beat* *Evil laughter*

After a (not so) long break..

I don't feel like working. *LOL*

However, coming to work this morning was as smooth as silk. I wish the traffic is like this morning for the rest of my life.

Something's bothering me and it is my weight problem. More and more people mentioned that I've gained weight, probably I am being over-sensitive but it bothers me a lil'. I guess I have to start watching what I put into my mouth. At least I will have to eat healthy! Start from today! I should start exercising again... NO MORE EXCUSES *determined*

Enough of the sad issue. I'm currently waiting for samples to come, it's a quiet morning but deep in me, I wish it'll be quiet throughout the day...week....months....years... Nah, nothing's perfect, nothing ends the way a person wants.

My dear plans to buy a mobile phone and I'm still contemplating whether or not to change my phone as well. I've been using mine since 2 Christmases ago. However, it's still working fine. Should I or Should I Not? I've been spending alot ever since I started working. *worries*

Enough for now. Back to reality a.k.a. WORK! Dreadful....

Food at the Island

Although I'm always busy with work but there will always be time for food especially when it comes to trying out new stalls.

Actually what I tried out was new at that time but not anymore maybe. This is because I visited the restaurant months ago, labour day which wasn't that long ago anyway. *grins*

No, I had not had food at any island but Island Red Cafe. As usual, I prefer to post pictures rather than explaining.

Their menu, you can also get it online here (which is more up-to-date)

Me and my cup of Iced Lemon Tea

His fav. drink, Jasmine Tea
I'm not a fan of jasmine tea not especially the sweet version
(IMO, jasmine tea, the sweet ones in general taste like soap)

Chicken Maryland

Fish & Chip
I prefer real slice of fish, if you know what I mean.

Couldn't complain much due to the not-too-expensive pricing. Love the sour creams and mayo though.

My sis got me....

Stickers... Yes, she got me my favourite stickers. Stickers make me HAPPY *smiling*

These are what she got me earlier of the week

Then these five cuties she bought last night
Look at the lion, the sundae, the mineral bottle...never ending cuteness
I can look at them for hours, enjoying and checking to see if there's any faults

Rest day

It's nice to have a day of rest after all these months hectic working hours. I do miss my time sitting in front of the PC doing nothing.

Yeah.. I guess that's what I'm gonna do today!
