Turning Point 转折点

It was not a smooth sailing start for 2016 but we just got to keep moving; learn and improve. Then I saw this TVC on YouTube and I find it really meaningful. There's no guarantee to success, but not trying is a guarantee of failure :) Again, I spent sometime communicating with myself (I am not CRAZY ok): Whenever you are rejected, you are reluctant to try again. Why?  Why are you so afraid to make mistakes?  Do you know it is absolutely okay to make mistakes? As long as you learn from them and do not repeat them.  No one expects you to be perfect. You are no one and you know that's impossible unless you are not human -_-  It is alright to admit your flaws. Apologize, fix things, learn and move on.  Last but not least,  Whatever you do, enjoy the journey, embrace the good and learn from the bad. Most importantly, be happy! 

Having one of the worst headaches since I started working full time again. It visited me once I woke up and it's still with me except for the 2 hours nap. Reluctantly took MC as I really didn't want to put my work on halt. I was thinking to blame it on stress and the weather but I guess I shall blame it on myself. I think I've been harsh to myself, forcing myself to learn quicker and act faster. I was away from the industry for more than 5 years and I felt left behind. Fear creeped in and wreak havoc physically (the headache)/ emotionally (not so much, just a little XD). Been affected by a few other non-work-related factors too.  On a positive note, I am really glad it's just headache and not so much about emotions. Come to think of how I was badly affected by every single small thing in life 10 years ago, I would say I've changed for the better :D?  I sincerely thank my husband for being my pillars of strength, no matter how knackered I am, I know there...

A song that depicts my current life so accurately. I wrote about Being Twenty Something  7 years ago and how time flies without you even realizing...I am already in my 30s T_T! If I could, I would have told the 20-something-me, stop worrying and enjoy your life! If you are still in your 20s, I strongly advise you to: 1. Travel more 2. Forget about those crappy relationships 3. Enjoy being single 4. Play hard but work harder too 5. Treat your family well 6. Save and invest ASAP 7. Buy yourself a property 8. Spend time with true friends 9. Get involved in volunteering work 10. Most importantly, have an open mind, go for your dreams and have no fear. I am sharing the above from the bottom of my heart, lol. I wouldn't say I have regrets but I think I could have done more and better in my 20s :) Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with ...

The screenshot above shows that I did try to blog multiple times but I failed to complete any of the entries. Call it writer's block or perhaps I have to many concerns whenever I try to blog? I've to make sure my grammar is correct, I am writing proper English and I have to think many times if it's okay to share what's on my mind. I do miss the carefree me. I would really like to ask the 20-something-me, how did you manage to share so much? Don't you worry what others might think of you? You being an emotional person, the relationship issues and your shameless selfies! What has aging done to me -_-? Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging. ― Maya Angelou

A quick thought yesterday made me realised my life has been mundane and I really wanna make a difference. Hence, I've decided to start with making small changes in my daily life. This is to believe that, all these small changes will eventually lead to my destination  *cough*, I mean reaching my ultimate objective of => " Getting Things Done & Feeling Accomplished At The Same Time " #asmallchangeaday Today is the first day and I've started the #asmallchangeaday challenge with:  Leave for work 8 minutes earlier so that makes me arrived at the office 8-10 minutes earlier as well (yeah, there's no such thing as skipping the traffic jam and having the travel time shortened)  Finally blogging in year 2014 :X  To be continued ... Your life will improve only when you take small chances, and the first and most difficult chance you can take is to be honest with yourself.

I know I've disappeared for a while but I don't think it matters? Coz I believe only 1 person visits this blog and that's me. Lol, sorry for the lame joke. I just didn't feel like blogging. I think I spent too much time reading about others' lives and neglected mine :(  The biggest change in my life this year would be ... getting married? Like finally?! After all the shits I've been through, I am finally settling down with the luckiest man on earth #yesihavethickface Anyway, the ceremony and dinner will be in 2014, there are still lots to do :| The day after our ROM we went to Genting for our super mini honeymoon (mini-moon?) My favorite photo from the trip. Went overseas to Myanmar, Thailand and Korea this year. I hope to travel more next year after watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty -_- not sure how long this desire will last though ^_^ but traveling has always been on my thoughts. We shall see. As for work, I am still persisting and w...

I blame myself for not blogging enough. I need to be more hardworking. So that ten years later I can still read my blog to reminisce the stupid things I've done ten years ago. Or maybe I'm trying to avoid that -.- in order to pretend that I am all this while a smart and sensible person. I do not know the purpose of this entry. It could be due to the consumption of unknown substances. It caused the adrenalines pumping and activated the urge to start typing. Okay, ok, I surrender. The sentimental moment is caused by the fact that I am no longer in my 20s :( and I've met many people who are much younger than me. Where did my youth go? I thought I could forever be in my rebel stage!

Just realized it has been 2 months since I last updated my blog :| I tend to blog a lot when I am down, so I can say that I have been quite happy hence the lack of updates :p. And I am here writing craps again because something is bothering me :(. Anyway, I had my first run with Yoke Yee over the weekend. We have been wanting to do this for a while. So when Shirley approached Yoke Yee for the Run for Peace run, we gladly joined in! It's definitely much better than I thought it would be (I imagined myself crawling on the road for the last few kilometers. Yes, I am exaggerating because it's just a less than 10km run :p). I think I did okay although I know it could be much better, more training sessions needed. After getting 2 goodies bag (thanks to the lovely aunty who so generously gave me extra) and the Run for Peace cert, I walked back to Yoke Yee's house to get my car and headed for breakfast. Got a so-called-caring-message from King crab while I was having break...

Bin sent me this the other day. Do you agree?    I have to say, I still hold back at times...hahaha   Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.  ~Rose Franken  

1-Apr-2013 I woke up at 645am this morning hoping for a great start of the week. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out too well. I was telling myself you can choose to dwell in negative thoughts or just buck up and move on. So after calming down for 5 minutes, I lifted my own spirit and proceed to right the wrong. I should really stop making myself miserable -_- 2-Apr-2013 I am having migraine again. I've been having headache almost everyday since last week. I had one of the worse last Thursday, struggled through a meeting, traffic jam and back home. Ended up vomiting. I am having it now, again! I suspect it's the aftereffect of the accident I had in Oct last year. My life is badly affected by this, gonna see a TCM later. I hope he can fix it.

I've been slacking. Have been feeling reluctant to on my PC after working hours since months ago. Maybe age is catching up or maybe I am just too lazy. Didn't really have the mood to write a proper blog post and I just realised because I was trying hard not to reveal my real emotions. I used to blurt about everything and poor English/grammar mistake is never my concern but I am not sure since when I started to stop myself from being too emotional. Soooooo, in year 2013, I just want to be myself when I blog. That means I am free to use lazy/busy as execuses of not blogging, I can write long wordy posts without any pictures, I can be as emo as I want, I can curse as much as I like, I can go with random posts when I am not in the mood etc etc I know it's a tad late but better late than never :). I have been slacking in updating my blog but it's not like anyone is reading. *knock* Hello? Anyone there? A recap on year 2012: January  It wasn't a pleasant mon...

So much to do, so little time.  There's so much I want to achieve. It's obvious that discipline and persistency are the keys. Regardless of how reluctant I am to turn on the computer after working hours, I am still forcing myself to do it. You can't always remain in your comfort zone. Still trying hard to wake up at 630am though, haven't managed to reach the target >.< It's so TOUGH!   The perfect weather to sleep in, the cozy bed...with these factors in place, how to wake up -_-? It's just a short post / a random one for today. Back to work :p I'd like mornings better if they started later.  ~Author Unknown

3 weeks after the accident and I am almost fully recovered with minor side-effects that hopefully will be gone few months later. I do suffer from dizziness and had difficulties to focus due to cerebral concussion but I believe my brain will be back to its normal state very soon. I did feel a little emotional after the accident but a conversation with the crabbies helped. Especially when I was told that they are glad to be able to speak to me again *sob*. Just realised, it was that close :|. Enough of the accident. Let's talk about something happy. Within two weeks, I attended two weddings and visited a new born. I am so happy for my friends :) I can still remember few years back, Ah Tai told me about this girl he met in the church. Fast forward, 2 years later he's married to the lovely lady. It was a fabulous wedding held in Hotel Maya and also a great gathering with the Lepak Here group (most of us are quite sensitive towards the group name...hahaha).  Visited th...

Just woke up from a 3-hour nap after taking cold & flu tablets. I felt it coming that's why I drank lots of water and orange juice the past few days. But a day out to the city and a walk under the scorching sun defeated my immune system (plus I have been so lazy that I have not exercise for a long time :() The long walk. It's around 800m (I am just guessing). Not a big deal compare to the 2-3km I had when I was in UK. BUT, not this weather. Left work early, headed to the pharmacy to buy flu tablets. The price difference between drowsy and non-drowsy pills is quite significant. RM 28 for non-drowsy and RM 4.50 for drowsy. RM 4.50 that's it. Afterall, I know I will sleep through the afternoon.  The mess I created in a few hours time.  Feeling much better after the nap and gonna start clearing my pending tasks. That's life, it goes on :| Blame the flu for making me sentimental at this moment -_-. The greatest wealth is health.  ~Virgil

I have to admit procrastination is my biggest enemy. My to do list is so long that I've lost track of the beginning of the list ~_~. I am supposed to work out my wish list, get pictures printed and create my own so-called wish board but as usual I am procrastinating, since weeks ago. This is more like a vision board but almost the same thing la. You get the idea? Pic grabbed from google image. Even blogging about this took me more than an hour. In between, I was on the bed, in the toilet, brushed my teeth, played my phone... I am continuing this after a 5 minutes phone call (ya, procrastinating again :|). Oh, another half an hour gone, typing this after my shower. I know you feel like whacking me when you read this. I'm doing this to show you how far a procrastinator can go. By the way, that's not the main objective of this entry. I'm typing craps here just to remind myself I still have tons to do. To create a blog post out of nowhere and to let you know I...

I just realized I haven't updated anything in August! That shows how busy I am excuse la,just lazy & surf too much net reading nonsense online :p There have been a lot going on in my life since July, I haven't really had the time for myself: Company Trip to Hanoi - thanks bosses for the invitation. Do you believe it, this is like my 1st company trip after working for so many years I exaggerate a bit la, I am not that old okay, definitely not more than 10 working years . Had a great time with colleagues & watched 3 episodes of LOTR with my roomie - YH throughout the 3 nights before we zZz (3 hrs long for each episode -.-)! Celebrated E-Sing & Tricia's birthday on a Thursday night. No photos taken, I was a bit sickish. Weddings - bridesmaid for MS, attended wedding dinners Photo courtesy: MS's wedding photographer :p Wedding dinner @ InterContinental Hotel Celebrated daddy's birthday with dinner that cost RM 400+. Thanks to dearest ...

appreciation [əˌpriːʃɪˈeɪʃən -sɪ-] 1. thanks or gratitude 2. assessment of the true worth or value of persons or things I find it hard to write a sentimental random post but it used to be my strength to blab and crap. What has aging done to me?! #lookingforexcuses Referring to the title, this post is about appreciation (duh...) but I don't know where to start :| You will be surprised to know that this post has been in draft stage for more than 5 days. I thought of giving up but I have so much to tell! I've been through some down times but this time around I didn't have the chance to be in the emo stage for too long becauseeeeeee someone was there to pull me out of it. My family didn't question much and no pressure given on decisions that I've made maybe they are trying to ignore me...hahaha . And the crabbies, no questions asked when they sensed that I have no intention to do any story-telling. I thank them for the respect and trust. I would say in a...

I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. What's ahead is unknown but at least I need to do my part for my country. 11:47am: Arrived at Plaza Rakyat station, on the bridge. I had the urge to cry looking at the crowd. We are here for the same purpose - we love our country, we are here to fight for a better future. Why can't our dear government understand this? Who wouldn't want to spend their weekend more comfortably? Instead of stuck in a crowd, sweating, shouting and under the hot sun? 12:22pm: Having a quick brunch at Petaling Street. Stuffed ourselves full to ensure we have enough energy to walk on. We were told someone passed away in Petaling Street. (It was confirmed later a guy passed away in the early morning due to heart issue, RIP). RM 4 for fried mee hoon & a piece of yong tau fu. Taste bland, I didn't even chew much. Just for the sake of feeling my stomach. 1pm: We walked from Jln Sultan towards Dataran Merdeka. The crowd were sho...
