Happy Chinese New Year!

Today, we went for morning mass at SIC. Spent a while at my aunt’s place. After that, stayed in at home to tidy up my room. Managed to throw a few old hand bags away, finally. I’ve always kept old things, things which are rarely used or taken out, like old letters, diaries, clothes, bags, movie tickets, notebooks, ex-company’s training files etc. Just don’t have the guts to throw them away.. don’t know why.. maybe i’m afraid i may need it later, or that they bring memories from the past.. that i want to cling on to as long as i can..

While tidying up, ww said he will be coming over for visit tonight. I told mummy, and she prepared yummy dinner specially for him. Was surprised he came up the doorway with a huge hamper. Thought he already gave some home-made pineapple tarts and seaweed crackers made by his mom earlier so was surprised he got the hamper for us. Immediately i went like.. noooo, whyyyy did you buy… oh, there’s a box of mushroom, and i was telling him how his mushroom look nicer than the one i’m gonna give to his family when i go visit him, i might just as well exchange it by giving him back the nice box of mushroom! haha!

but the best part of the night, ww helped fix my firefox and IE which was down for a few days, and sync-ed all the songs into the new Ipod (which is given by mummy as she got it free from cc points exchange). i’m such a technical noob, and am thankful that my bf is so good with IT and technical stuffs

It was a good first day of CNY.

realisation

drumsticks — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 05:09:37 +0000

Sometimes, i would get this sudden newfound realisation, appearing in my mind just a split second, and in a blink of an eye, it will just leave. and i would want it to stay, as i try hard to remember what the thoughts were, for it came as a light.. like some kind of eureka and i knew that its definitely a solution to answer some questions i asked myself.

yesterday, this sudden flash of realisation came to me as i was driving alone. i realised, if we wanted all the solutions for every situation life place us, we will never get it, because, in the worst scenario one may find themselves in, the best solution to win it is, to just simply laugh about it, and take it lightly. i could always find humour in things i take so much weight upon, which, are simply out of my control. the most mysterious part of this, is that no one can tell you how to do it, only you yourself can.

and i know, i can do it.

helpless

drumsticks — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:09:45 +0000

when i felt down, or blue last time, i always had him to talk to.. to share everything to, even if our conversation lasted the whole night, we would stay up and talk. but ever since he is not here, i’ll try my best not to allow myself to feel so down to the point i feel helpless, because i know i can handle it, don’t care how, but i trust that i can do it. but, really, i can never curb the part of missing him so much my heart aches. i love him so so much, and i miss him to death. but nothing i do can ever bring him back.

first OT

drumsticks — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:24:13 +0000

People used to tell me if our work doesn’t make us stay late and we get to go home on time, its hard to actually hard to start staying late if we ever change to that work long hour kind of jobs. It’s so true! I had my first ever OT today, although it was only like 8pm. but its just one day and was already very tiring. i just couldn’t picture myself having to go through what i did in external audit again.

maybe i have just gotten lazy. or i’m just turning old. haha.

11.1.11

11.1.11

Today is special, not just because of the date, its also my boyfriend’s birthday. After work, i went to meet him at klcc, and then went to pass some docs to the car sales agent. After that, we headed to Shabu-Shabu Plus one at 1utama to have ww’s birthday dinner. I gave him a parker pen with his name engraved. So glad he likes his present.

And now, time to hit the sack. I’ve been running up and down so much today. and in fact, haven’t been resting much since last month due to all the festive seasons and holidays, and have been out most of the time.

Back to blogosphere!

I’ve been meaning for so long to get back to blogging, and had been successful in putting this long enough! lol. Here’s a quick update before heading off to bed to face a new week ahead again.

Wow, its a new year again. Looking back at my resolutions for 2010, i’ve achieved just one. which is to get a new job. I started work in sept for a co. for a short while until my current co. offers me a job which i felt was something i’d prefer. I’m now entering the third month of working in my current co. I’ve never worked in KL before as my previous jobs were in PJ, so working in kl is something new and different. Working in kl entails inhaling large chunks of pollutions and walking amidst crowds and cars everyday but things are slowly settling in as i’m now feeling much more at ease and comfortable working in kl.

Oh, i’m attending acca class for 1 paper and guess that’s one aim for this year – professional exams

It was so long ago that i logged into wordpress that i needed a few seconds to remember the username :p lol.. anyway, am still alive..

drumsticks — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:36:22 +0000

Just in case anyone wondered, I’m still alive. Its already August which means I’m turning a year older soon. Time flies.. I had this friend who was 2* then and told us he had quarter-life crisis after reviewing on his life so now I think if i should feel the same way as he does because I am turning 2* soon. Seriously, I never expected this is where and how I will be when I am 2* I guess we can never guess or expect things to be how we planned it. Of all things that I’ve experienced within this year, I am thankful for one thing that I seemed to have which carried me through- a happy-go-lucky attitude. People can take it as a positive or a negative trait, but to me, it is because of this trait, I survived.

the world reflected a different light

drumsticks — Tue, 11 May 2010 06:47:05 +0000

i can’t wait till this is over. just another 1 month and that’s it. and from there, i shall make my next step. next step towards the unknown. what is known no longer applies to my world now. the things i thought i knew no longer hold their truth and honour like they once did. Looking at the world now, it has unfolded itself to be unrecognisable for my two eyes which were once naive and simplistic.

There were things i knew from theories and hypothesis analysis, but the real world is never the same as mere interllectual thoughts and theories. Now i’ve lost my senses of how the world should be, or is like, or to set any expectations at all for others, or myself.

i’m not dissapointed, but am just having no expectations. and when there’s no expectations, there is no dissapointment. but deep down, i know that’s not quite right. i know its hurting me. but so what? but what’s there to ask from the world when by nature it is so imperfect and flawed in the first place? but no matter how much i wanted to fight not having any expectations, the closes people are the ones whom i depend on, and have expectations on, so i can’t exactly avoid all dissapointments.

what’s the point of asking questions when its not being answered?
