Valentine 2011

The moment I woke up from my air-conditioned room, I had the urge to visit the washroom.  I then opened the door and found the bf standing outside my room (about to enter to give me a surprise) with 24 white roses in a transparent glass vase.

I stunned for 5 seconds in my PJs and thick-framed spec, while the bf cleverly said:"happie valentine!!!" in time.. .hahahahha...

What an awesome way to kick start our first valentine :)

p/s: love you, dear.

The end of.... 2010

 

1/2 of my December.

Christmas dinner, presents, family gatherings, food explorer, kids running around, birthday bash....

I was very tempted to not write any closing for my 2010 since it has passed for almost 3 weeks. But then I was reminded that this blog was not created mainly to gain visitors, but as my personal journal. One day, when I look back in the future, I can sigh in relieve and say:" ahhh... all these has finally came to past;"

Finances

2010 has been a completely different year for me. First, i graduated. Then, I started working. Needless to say, there comes the stress of financial independence. However, now i spend what I earn, save what i earn. The feeling is a lot better than getting money from my parents. Yes, it was tough surviving with a fresh grad's salary, but at the same time I got to learn to plan my finances wisely. Start small, and eventually when it grows, I will have no problem managing money.

Family

Also, 2010 was full of family gatherings as compared to the years before. More meet ups with my maternal family, more kids fight, more Audrey, more good food, more sofa talks, more toys encounter (mostly Dominic's toys @.@), more adults getting crazy with the kids' play, more cleaning after the kids played, and more bond~

BGR

Not only would I like to thank God for his blessings in my career & family, but also my relationship with Jacob the soulmate. We've gone through so many ups and downs, we rubbed shoulders among ourselves, but in the end we were also the only one who could comfort each other. All these good & bad moments have shaped us to become a better partner. Thank you soulmate for always standing by my side, rain or shine :)

Another section of  VIPs

Of course, these are not the only things I feel grateful for for the past 12 months. Thank God for ministry growth, awesome CG & church members, last but not least, my BFFs who are ever ready to share joy & burden. This section may seems to be shorter but that's because I am rushing to get myself a shower now, lol. I assure you that all these people have been playing different yet important roles in my life, until now.

A million thanks to daddy God & those who've made my 2010 was a memorable one. Now I can kick start my 2011 post, well hopefully :P

Long lost treasures

While i was doing spring cleaning just now... yes, on a Saturday morning. Not because I have had enough sleep, but after doing all the laundry I suddenly have the urge to clean my room, especially all its cupboards & wardrobe.

Okay where was I? ah.. while i was doing speing cleaning, i found my long lost treasures:

See these shiny "bejeweled" hair clip bows? They were like my Iphone or maybe LX5 back in the 1990s where I was still a child. By saying this,  i feel so old mature already. haha.

They were so precious for a small girl like me, that i kept them in a hidden place in my room. Until spring cleaning was done, everything being opened & raided, I finally found them again. I'm surprised that they look just as new as how I remembered them to be.

The funny thing is, I tried to recall where these little things are few months ago. Did i gave them to someone? Did i threw them away when i was in my teenage? Or did I kept them somewhere in my room that I have yet to discover?

Now I know the answer :)

So start raiding/ spring clean your room. Who knows you might find something. CNY is coming real soon anyway you don't want your mom to scream:" CLEAN YOUR SMELLY ROOM RIGHT NOW" at the very last minuet right?

I'm glad I did~

p/s: I know I should be writing about Christmas, new year eve, or at least some new year resolutions. But that will be another long post I suppose. Maybe tonight :)

十一月的最后一天

不晓得是否是我的错觉，天气很冷。

下了地铁，走进人群中，

双耳塞着耳机。

突然有种狂念又来了。

恨不得马上搬去个陌生的城市，

煮自己的早餐，过自己的生活，

不为谁伤心。

看着身边来往的路人，

我的心里只能轻轻叹息...

Weekdays phobia

Yes, weekdays have became a phobia to me. Not only Monday blues, but the entire week.

For many days, the moment I open my eyes, I feel like taking emergency leave just to escape the super heavy workload in office. OTs are like lunch now, everyday will happen. Public holiday has became a pain, for I have to process double or even triple workload to cover back whatever that needs to be settled during the holidays. 

And though I am the top performer in my team, for some reason I just don't feel the sense of belonging in this company. In fact, the more I work with my so-called-seniors, the more I begin to lose my respect towards them. This is no good :(

As if these are not bad enough, I realized my mind is often at its "shut-down" mode after work. In this week alone, I :

• NEARLY pushed into the male washroom
• washed my contact lens' casing with my lens still in it
• shampoo-ed my hair twice in  a roll
• wanted to take a pump of bodywash but ended up pushing off all other toiletries to the ground like a bowling game
• take more than 5 seconds to recognize faces that I've already knew

Now, this is double no good T.T

Haihz, life goes on. What keeps me going every week, is the random food discovery with the soulmate.

I love having caffeine drinks with some pastry, in a not-so-local cafe *if you get me*, talking nonsense / ranting / planning our future / surfing the net with Iphones. 

 Can Sundays not pass so fast?

p/s: Sigh, my eye bags are getting worst, all thanks to 8 hours of daily PC usage. Time to really plan for a prison break.

Finally KO-ed...

Been on MC for the past 2 days, I feel like throwing up all the time. Only has appetite for red bean milk tea.

Sigh, I don't want to spend my weekend on the bed doing medication T.T

Don't judge a shoe by its cover

Then how to buy shoe?

To be honest, I've been asking this question for the longest time *role eyes*

Whatever shoes I bought, 8 out of 10 of them will bite me. Better still, the remaining 2 which don't bite are slippers. Sigh. That's why I don't fancy buying shoes. And that's why most of the time I'll be seen in the same pair.

However, shoe being shoe, they will get teared apart someday. Especially when you do distance walking everyday, like me. So, a few pairs of comfy shoes of mine have been ripped off their base ever since working life started.

I couldn't explain how panicked (more like.. pain in heart) I was seeing them got broken one by one. Part of me feeling broken-hearted, another part of me was worried what if I cannot discover other comfy shoes? Am I going to allow my feet to be bitten every single day? wear slipper throughout all occasion? store up plasters at all time? or just walk with my bare feet? 

I was so desperate for another pair of comfy shoe that I walked from office to Pavillion, to Isetan, to Sungai Wang after work, hoping to find my feet another good carrier. 

Guess what, I found none. But because I was so desperate, I settled for a I'd-give-it-a-try-shoe from Vincee. The shoe wasn't exactly comfy, but it is made out of good leather (reasonable pricing too). I tried it on and did some walking around the shop. It was all good, except that its back part has some rubber thing attached so that particular part was a little tight.

Looked all angelic and decent, I was so convinced to buy it. In fact, I actually did.

That was my BIGGEST mistake!!!!! It bites It bites!!!!

After walking for 10minutes from the LRT to my office, I ended up with 2 dissimilar Doremon plasters and a sinked heart T.T

Oh gosh.. now I can only pray for my cotton crocs (yes, the one being accidentally ran into a pool of rain water) to survive longer.
