The Last Day Of Year 2012

Here goes " Good-bye 2012 and Hello to 2013".

I should probably just go to dye my hair. 

I have just purchased a pair of gorgeous heels for myself before the ending of Year 2012

to welcome Year 2013.

Haha. What a brilliant excuse.

Jimmy and Ethelynn, Tong and Yii Jia

just got married this year.

And according to Yjia,

it will be Apek and Cindy's turn in 2013.

Moreover, Cindy got Yjia's bouquet.

I juct can't wait to see Cindy in the pretty white wedding gown.

Work is just NEVER-ENDING.

Christmas Post

This lovely gift is from a sweetie named Inara (I hope I spelled her name correctly). The brother and her went to Hong Kong and brought this back for me. Inara never forgets to bring back a little something when she went travelling. How sweet. This is why I decided to post about it. It's very touching. Thank you very much, Inara sweetie. Kisses for you.

Went out for dinner with Handsome after work. We are both super hungry that day and spotted this steamboat place and decided to give it a try. We were very disappointed with the food and the price. We spent RM57.00 and still feeling hungry. Never ever going back to that place again for sure. Too bad. Highly NOT recommended!!!

Mr. Handsome went to shopping alone and bought me a drawer full of 3-in-1 coffee, junk food and a lot of instant noodles. This is exactly what he would do if he went shopping alone. Always bought a lot of one thing. I think I can open a mini market in the office and gain some extra income out of these. Haha. 

I am spending my time in the office on a Christmas Day working on Sakura project. 

Pity me. Merry Christmas 2012. 

Unexpected

Seriously, I really felt guilty after eating junk food every time. 

So why not eat something green instead. 

My Mister accused me of making him eat 1 tonne of leaves.

Haha, can you imagine how big the plate is. 

It's the size of plate which they mostly used to serve the first dish in every wedding reception dinner.

Huge. And good for him.

Little muffin for tea time. Making these muffins are too easy and time saving.

My Mister bought the 'convenience pack' or I shall put it the 

ever ready muffin mix from the supermarket.

And just add in water and stir until light moisture mixture

then pour into the muffin cups.

Put them into the oven for 20 minutes.

And let the oven does the rest of the work.

Birthday Month

Birthday was fine. First celebration was with Dy, Irene and my Mister. Second celebration was with my beloved father and brother. Which means 2 birthday cakes for year 2012's birthday. How nice is that. 

Irene bought a singing candle saying that she is lazy to sing the birthday song for me and just let the candle do  all the hard work. Funny Irene. Dy is paying all the food and the cake though. My Mister sponsored the place and also he finished off the cake. Yjia got me the Sereni & Shentel which I was longing. Irene got me the purse. And Mister got me the double C. And also all the texts all around the globe.

Thank you everyone. I love you all.

   

November equals to hectic month. Or I shall put it every month equals to hectic month. 

I can't possibly explain the work load. 

I would really want to walk away once in a while.

Fancy October

Basically, I was busy from the beginning of October till now. October is very happening. Loaded with piles and piles of paper works and estimation. I have done most of them and there are more yet to come.
People who know me well probably know that I am not of the outgoing kind and it's really hard for me to find friends who I can really open my heart to. Now unfortunately, my colleagues are leaving the company. I am very depressed of they leaving. Hence, I am trying to persuade one of them to stay. I really hope that this VIP will reconsider and stay because the company truly needs the service. If this VIP insists of leaving, there are no choice of course for the boss to look for new personal. Frankly speaking it is not easy for me to accept the truth that they left the company.
20th of October was Irene's birthday. And which I think, she had her most wonderful and special birthday over these few years. For the past few years, all we did for her was a simple night out to a fine restaurant in town and nevertheless birthday presents. But this year, she celebrated her birthday in a friend's house. The friend made her a very fine home-made dinner and of course with her favourite of all times, beer. She was thrilled. From the bottom of our hearts, we all hope that she is truly happy and truly enjoy her birthday. I think she was a bit drunk by the end of the day. LOL. 'Happy Birthday, Irene. We love you.'
Things are getting touch when we grow up. And I realized that the key to happiness is learning of letting go.

Tough Week

My marimo tank is getting congested due to my 'Mister' accidentally purchased 100 marimo balls. But he managed to sell off 70 marimos. So there are 35 in my small tank. Thinking of giving 5 to my mother since marimos are really easy to cater for and it won't take out much of her time. I have a feeling that she will probably love them. 

Having to work on leave is feeling really bad. What was in my mind is that why am I always the one to do these troublesome works. Now it's not just working at nights and weekends but on my vacation!! Come on boss, please just give me a break.

On this particular day, I had to go for a tender interview and work right after the meeting. What a terrible week I had. I had to work at a coffee shop since my boss had to go down to the plantation site and I definitely do not want to follow.  And it's 2 and a half hours drive back to my office. Thus I ended up sitting in the coffee shop to complete off my work. I wanted to go home so badly that day.

At the end of the day, I was rewarded with this mouth-watering dinner. However, I regret after the first bite. Because it's around 7 pm and it's too heavy for my stomach to digest. It's not so rewarding after all. 

Nano Marimo & Star Moss

I was truly excited about these little marimo balls from Japan. Based on the information I get, the growth of these green marimo is only 5mm per year. And the greatest thing about the marimo is that it can live up to 200 years!!! How surprisingly long this marimo can live. I got these marimos of a very fair price though. In the aquatic shop I came across, the pricing of each little marimo is RM 20.00. These marimos are obtained online from ebay which 5 of the small balls cost 1 US dollar and plus RM 18.00 for the postage. Thus, altogether the marimos cost RM 20 ++. I got the glass from 'SuperSave' which cost me RM 2.50. And the small rock underneath I collected from the beach.

And for a lazy person like myself, marimo is truly a very very very easy plant to take care of. It requires only a little ceiling light, changing of water every once a week or once every 2 weeks or the most 4 weeks, no carbon dioxide injection is required for healthy growth and of course a lot of love. It says to add some salt to the water if the marimo turns yellowish. I truly hope that would not happen to my little green fury marimos.

The greenish square cube is star moss, also one kind of aquatic plant. And of course easy to rear like the marimo. I was most curious of how the star moss would grow like. Waiting.......

The Last Day of August

This is the pieces that I bought for the month of August.

When I am getting tired of working, this is

what I would do. 

Buy shoes.

This is my way of release tension. 

I will create a place to display them in the future.

My Little Happenings

My new fragrance from Lancome.
Was thinking of getting Coco Channel's fragrance at first
but its sense is a bit too mature for me.
Hence, I finally decided on Lancome. It's very romantic
kinda sense, this is how I would like to put it,
Romantic Fragrance. Have been fallen deeply in love
with it.










Mummy is coming back this Raya festive.

So, there we go, having the fullest steamboat dinner of the family's all times favourite.
Daddy had been talking about it for the pass
week. He is the one who is looking forward
for this steamboat. And mind you, he really ate
a lot tonight.



I am just being to addicted to shoes, especially high heels. I bought this 'I Love Ribbons' on Zalora, a Malaysia website. I called it that is just simply because I fall in love with the ribbons. I was most thrilled to have received the package after 2 days I placed the order. I was still discussing about these shoes while I received a mms from my youngest brother. He took a photo of the shoes and give me a peek of them before I could actually touch them. The first thing I got home from work was of course to try it on. I am aiming for the next pair.

Here's some photos of it.......

Saturday

This is what I did last Saturday. 

Do some shopping for my skin. 

I hope I am hardworking enough to wear it on my face at least once a week. 

If the effect is good, I may probably add these into my shopping list next time. 

Talking about balancing between work and life, 

the scale is still weighing more on the work side. 

I should truly find sometime for myself and 

do some shopping at the book store

next time. 

Should add some new books on the shelf. 

Nothing much happened for the pass week.

However,

I could truly feel that

a person's character will slowly show through time. 

I just need sometime to adapt it.

At Work

When tender closing date is getting closer, you can really feel the tension in the air. Therefore, why so serious? Ease the tension by implementing some childhood fun in the work. I can't make up my mind on the final figure for the tender. So, I just simply write the number in each of the paper and fold the papers. Put the papers into a box and selectively choose from the box without looking in the box. When i got the figure, I called my boss to reconfirm but he said to stick with the figure we both agreed a day before. And so, end of the story.

July's Break

I was on an official trip to KL last week. I went on the 18th of July, straight after work.

The tender interview was on morning of the next day so I have to reach KL a day before. 

I reached my hotel room at 11 pm. I can't possibly described how tiring my body was.

My prior mission to KL is to attend that tender interview. Then I have

to go and collect my cert which I was supposed to have taken

last year. I went to my ex-college and found that it had moved.

I was stunned. But hey, this is when the taxi drivers come in handy.

It was just a 10 minutes drive from the old place and cost RM6.70

for the taxi fare. However, RM10 was paid to show my gratitude towards

the taxi driver as the 1st driver refused to take me there, saying that 

the traffic was very congested at that area. 

This is an award to myself. Herbal bath, very soothing indeed.

Some ear pieces I bought at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall.

I have been buying these for years.

A quilt cover I bought from IKEA. This was not my first choice actually.

I want the red base with white dots. Very cute but it doesn't come in 

the size for my quilt so I have to give it in.

And

I bought a wallet too, in purple, I just love it. It costs 

me quite a lot to own it.

This was taken during the dinner at Sunway Pyramid. All kinds of stupid facial expressions. 

Pretty worn out after a whole day of walking. 

The food at this Chinese restaurant "天 京客栈"

was fine and the price was quite dear. 

If I was not mistaken that's the name of the restaurant.

On Tuesday

Work hasn't been that hectic lately. And this is what I have been doing in the office when the bosses are not around. I have been reading this awesome book since ages ago. Can't finish it because work keeps coming in. And now finally I can steal some working hours to lay my eyes on this book. I am most grateful. I know it's 'illegal' but since I have no work to do for the time being, why not I try to finish the book. I got this book at the clearance sales in Popular bookstore for just RM10.00 last year. Just imagine, how long this poor book lay there unattended. Can't wait to finish it and start off with a new one.

Job Politic

I don't know what got into me recently. I feel very fade up everyday I come to work. I kept on wandering why my colleague always ask me to give him a copy of my work for his record. I don't feel okay giving away my hard work to someone who doesn't help out. I need to do all the estimation, costing, filling, photostatting and I need to compile all the paper works. Why do I need to give him a copy of the final estimate? And also my taking off. I don't feel right. I have to right to refuse him. I gave him all the things he desires and he still kept all those quotations, facsimiles, emails from me? Taking it away from my table and tell the other colleague that the facsimiles do not have to give me a copy? How I can possibly tolerate him this way? I really get all fade up and wanted to yell at him so many times. But he has not pissed me off that serious after all. I will be patience with his attitude until the day he gets solemnly unreasonable. Till then I will just do my job and keep quiet.

Simplicity is Happiness

I read a statement from the newspaper one day saying that " there is no 'y' in happiness, there is an 'i' not 'y' ". Which means there is not doubt in happiness. Happiness is when someone who really listens to you and didn't take your words for granted. Happiness is when someone who is willing to work hard for half of the day just to cook a meal for you. The clean-up box makes my desk more organized. The home-cooked chicken soup is delicious. Happiness can be really simple.

New Affair

I bought this pair of 'sexy' sometime in April on a family trip to KL. I love the height it was designed. I have been dreaming about nude colour heels for ages. It was love at first sight for this pair. I paid for it without second thought. It took me only 5 minutes to own it. You can't imagine how beautiful your legs look when you put them on. Superb. I am somehow addicted to heels at this height. And will definitely add more to my heels collection.

Blue made the day

I kind of like this nail colour though my father described they as dinosaur nails. It's really funny how he interprets things. I wore it for a couple of days cause it is too obvious. I think it just doesn't fit on a regular working day in an ordinary construction office. However, I wore it on my toes today. Haha. Just can't get enough of the 'blue'. Thinking of getting a pink nail polish someday. If I could possibly find it, I will definitely wear it on July. My life is getting colourful with nail polish.

Ordinary Saturday

He can always turn an ordinary day to an extra-ordinary day to be remembered. We took a stroll down the beach. He discovered a school of fishes in the rocks and pulled out a fishing net from no where and started catching fish. He exclaimed that my fishing skill is very lousy though I managed to catch one tiny baby fish and one tiny baby crab. And the next thing I know is that we were in the greenish sea water. The water is warm as the weather is quite hot that day, perfect for a picnic. While we were in the water, I saw what I thought is a plane in the sky. But he claimed that it was a rocket! He said we saw a rocket. And so let 'it' be a rocket then. However, later that day, his family called and told him that China has successfully launched its rocket. He went all cocky saying that he was right, that what we saw at the beach is rocket. Swimming without any preparations is what I least expected and seeing a rocket just make it double. Sunset was extremely beautiful that day. He said we need to do something crazy when we are young so that there will be something to be recalled when we are old. My extra-ordinary 16/6/2012.

Delivery

When I got back home from work yesterday, my brother told me that the clothes I ordered online have arrived. I was thrilled for it had just been a week. Usually I have to wait for one month to get the clothes. And to my surprise, the quality of the clothes is brilliantly good. I thought that maybe one or two pieces would be off to my 'museum' but all are perfect for the price of RM170 including the postage. Oh, there is just one small non-perfection. The one-piece dress I ordered is blue but it came beige. But I have tried it on, it looks ok on me and I don't have any beige shirt so why not keep it. Something cool other than work just cheers up my day.

D.I.Y

I was working with this for more than an hour. It's not as good as those made by professionals of course. But I love it and brother said it is fine. Life can be enjoyable.

The Only Day

The FM kept on repeating that 20th of May is a very special day. The only day in a year which represents 'I Love You'. Took off to a really beautiful beach. After a very long ride, here we were. I was told that this is a very old Malay fish village. An old uncle owns this piece of land and he maintains it really well. He has a fish boat which his sons and his son-in-law will took off to catch some fish. He feeds some chickens and some city man will come to buy from him. This place is unpolluted and well preserved that the old uncle said sometimes the wild boars will run into his house.

I set the coconut on the swing and decided to take its portrait. Silly me.

Took a stroll at the beach. It's surprising to see a school of small crabs sunbathing on the beach. Can't manage to catch even one though. 

The sun is still very strong and so I was too lazy to move. It's fun just standing still to feel the sea breeze. Never been this relief for so long due to the heavy workload.

The rocks are full with dried oyster. Never though of finding one lively oyster. There was a Malay aunty catching fish for dinner when we crossed by. She said the oyster is really sweet so we give it a try. It tasted fine but seriously I don't like it.

Can you believe it? We took a nap under the trees. We really snoozed off. 

How can you tell when you really met your 'Mr. Right'? 

It's a very meaningful day. Definitely will go back again.

Usual Monday

How to get the balance between work and life? Working is definitely part of your life. But your life can not be part of you job. 

I was pretty surprised at myself. 

The volume of freedom and privacy I required is far more than what I actually expected.

Lonesome. I thought I could defeat it.

But the truth is I am the loser.

I am addicted to your hug. 

I love the way you cuddle me.

Good Morning Tuesday

Holiday mode is on. Am going to travel with family on this coming Sunday to KL. Somehow deep inside my heart, I noticed that my mum is pretty looking forward to this short trip for she can spend her precious time with her dearest. I miss her a lot though. Will be spending 4 days 3 nights at KL. I think I need to buy her a pair of comfortable slippers as there will be loads of walking to do at KL.
My boss doesn't seems to be happy that I applied 4-days leave. He doesn't seem happy to approve the leave either. Can't I have something personal? What's wrong of applying my earned leaves? He is inside his office while I am posting this. No more leave for me for these few coming months. Sigh.
Will try to take some photos will staying at KL. Will keep updating this blog soon.

Emo Script

Boss came in extra early today. And I can't find the strength to start with my work. I always have this uncomfortable feeling when I reached the office door way. The feeling of turning back and walk straight home. I am not trying to be hilarious. I am just feeling very very very exhausted. It's getting hard to concentrate on work. I tend to dislike some tiny stuffs. Maybe I am not having so much work to do during these few weeks that make me feel like I am kind of wasting my time in the office. 8-hours seems to be a long long day because I am being not progressive at all. I am getting way too emotional. I can't control my emotion these few days. This blue mood seems to stick with me whenever I am not working. The worst thing is that I am getting too forgetful these days. I just told Dy on Monday afternoon that I will confirm with him whether I will go out with him and Irene again later in the evening. But I forgot all about that and went straight to the office. I only recall this in the next morning. I am such a lousy date. I will try to remember next time. I need to keep myself busy so that I will stop thinking about nonsense.

L.O.V.E

There are some memories buried deep inside your heart that you do not wish people to dig in. Somewhere you feel painful whenever you thought about it. I wish that I could wipe off all the bad memories once and for all. But somehow I just can't stop thinking about it. It keeps on repeating inside my mind.
There are always some conflicts between people. I am starting to miss someone when these bad things happen. How I wish that very person is here with me now. Just right by my side. I wish to hug him tight. I wish I could just lean on his shoulder with an empty mind. I want to spend 24 hours with him. I could spend the whole day just looking at him without feeling bored. I love the way you tug me in your arms. I really miss you.

Improper

A lot had happened lately. Sometimes life could get tough. Heavy thoughts were playing in my mind while the pouring rain showered last night. Feeling of unsure and insecure is getting stronger. I am starting to feel panic and uncertain of my decisions. Am I just being afraid of getting into a new relationship or so? Getting into serious relationship means marriage and children. I don't think I am prepared for that now. I am just thinking too much. I wish that this will end soon.

Cheerful Tuesday

I am still working now, definitely. I have been wanting to post about this book for ages. 

Haven't find the time and the mood to do so. 

Since I am leaning against my chair and I don't find the strength to work,

blogging is the best choice to kill the time. 

This is really a very fine book. I love the way the writer put

it to encourage his reader. 

Should have bought it earlier. But better late than never. 

I am really thankful that my parents have supported my decisions without questioning me.

I was very surprised. I have never thought of this.

I am very grateful to them.

French Braid and Wedding

I am in love with this braid recently. Have been wearing it very often. I am having fun playing around with my hair. I am basically still very caught up with work. Being busy just kept me from thinking too much, which is a good thing for me. Nothing much happened lately. Just came back from a short trip to Sibu. Attending Jimmy and Ethelynn's wedding.

Didn't took much pictures that day. I feel really happy for those two love birds. Wedding could be very touching. Jimmy and Ethelynn, I wish you two happy ever after and all the best for years to come.

Wednesday

I really really love this hair bun to the max. Got my brother to took this photo for me cause I can't possibly do this by my own. I never know how do I look from the back. I love my back view though. But my hair is really really dry and fussy. Haven't find the hair product that actually works for my dry hair. Am looking for the hair product that can make my hair smooth and silky. Still working hard on that. Had recently dyed my hair and that just make it worst. Have to find some repair serum to save it. Think to wear my hair long, not just long but super long. Hope I can stand the heat.

Fragrance

This memory is just as sweet as the smell from this little bottle.

I got carried away by its fragrance. No more uncertainty and 

no more inconfident. I love how this little magic bottle surprises

me. 

Life is filled with too much uncertainties and it is somehow

uncontrollable.

Have been quite worn out by work recently. Nothing new about

work actually. Just a couple of small tender to be estimated and

were successfully submitted yesterday. I am hoping that the jobs

would be awarded to the company. There is still great way ahead.

Feeling very lazy lately. 

I can't find any energy to do anything. The only thing I am missing is

my cozy bed. I want to lay down.

Seriously I want to tell my boss that I think I need a break!
