birthday boy

Last week was a celebration for little Adam....
checkout how excited he was!

training 101

I have to give out training tomorrow... I don't fancy public speaking, but I guess if I have to do it, then I HAVE to do it. How exactly do you make people sit on their seat and be interested? Trust me, I've been on that seat, and gosh and how many times the thought of "OMG! this guy/girl is sooo boring, pls be over sooon!!!!" been running through my mind. It's hard to be interesting and all technical at the same time (for me lah). How exactly do you make training clicking here and there interesting? Although I've been to training where the trainer seems to be natural speaker, they can make the worst training interesting by exciting presentation as well as making jokes here and there and interesting intermission (funny short video?)...

Hmmm, I might google some video to include in my training..

Wish me luck! Hope people won't be yawning tomorrow... blergk..

preloved items

Hey ya all...

Sorry for the long hiatus... It's not that I'm not around but... Errrr, I have nothing much to write I guess... All the pouring creative energy is almost gone.... Anyway... here's some updates..

Marathon
- Didn't run for half marathon this year. I opt to go to R's wedding instead because I can always run next year, but R's wedding maybe never come around... Me n gals during the reception... More pictures in my facebook...

Took 1 week leave to rejuvenate... Went to lokkawi zoo n bring these two lil active kidssss... Ulai, babysitting them is more tiring than running 21 kms u know....
Went to Sandra's garage sale as she'll be moving out of KK soon... my nieces got these, all preloved items.... Sandra, hope your move will be smooth :) Looking forward to read your experience from your blog!

half empty

63 days to HALF MARATHON! And I haven't trained at ALL! I'm sure my mental capacity can handle the 21 km after going through this YEAR, but physically I'm sure I would hit the wall at km5...

Okay... Training will officially start tomorrow, 5 km per run minimum for this week, and this will increase for the upcoming weeks... I'm still thinking how to train during fasting month. Hmmm, any ideas? The last time I trained during fasting month last year, I almost faint of dehydration... Errr, plus, being single and all, I can't go home early, totally makes me unmotivated to train like an hour before breaking fast. Hmm, I guess I have to figure this one out soon...

I'm itching for another vacation, but at the same time I'm worried of the mountains of paperwork in the office ( sign of workaholics?)...


Okay, wouldn't want to complain much... Life could be worse, right? And a little optimism wouldn't hurt, plus I don't wanna grow old and bitter...

Have a pleasant week everyone!

wish

Happy Birthday
May you wishes come true...

geek or freak?

I think my life has revolved around these IT people for waaaay too long. And I actually realized this when we were having lunch today. So we went off to lunch outside of office area, and most of us are IT people. So we were talking about riddles (can't remember what it was), then somehow it got to the topic of fishing. So, there we were talking about fishing, fishing poles, and then the fishing lure. Then my colleague mention about how fishes nowadays are not attracted to modern fishing lure except for fewer ones.. Then we started to make hypothesis of why that is... Another friend started saying maybe their image processing broken.. then it got to small RAM that it makes slow processing. Then, it hit me, "OMG, we are such geeks!". whylah this interesting topic of fishing somehow can be relatable to a modern computer? I have no idea!

Uji, please find some artsy fartsy friends who can actually start a sentence without saying "logically speaking" (er, I do admit i start lots of my sentence with this!)

update

oh my.. it's been awhile since my last update... Nothing much had been going on, only I'll be taking 3 days off starting tomorrow after a month of working monday-sunday for most weeks last month.

- Run 7k Sutera Harbor (did this yesterday, and omg i almost fainted half-way through)
- Erk, decide whether to run half marathon this year and submit application form for early bird price. With current stamina and level-of-mind, errrrr, I haven't quite decided yet... I might as well join the 800 meter for kiddies.
- Plan my trip to kl 14-17 august. Places to go, people to meet, place to stay?
- Get over ex-boyfriend
- Plan for next year's vacation. Mmmmm, maybe somewhere exotic?
- Get a hair trim, shorter haircut definitely! Does short hair really makes you look young-er?
- Summer clean the closet and finally get rid of the size Zeros jeans ( i kept them in the hope of being able to fit into them one of these days)

Anyway, it's been raining cats and dogs in kk lately, it's a perfect excuse to stay under the duvet!

Let me leave you with this picture of these two cuties... Ayu and Baby Adam who grow so fast! Aren't they such posers?

definitely a friend

summer hiatus...

it's summer hiatus for most shows. So, here is my playlist until fall tv is back..

• Samantha Who
• Lipstick Jungle
• The Office
• Last few episodes of Heroes
• True Blood
  

Oh yea, did I tell you, while I was stuck in malacca for two weeks (without astro channel and internet connection in the hotel), I "secretly" followed malay drama series "matahari"... So much for drama....

update

I've started to run again (or maybe walking is the correct word here)....

So.. I'm gonna log my fitness progress here, with the hope it'll actually stay this time around... Although, I'm not really sure that I'm quite capable of running 21 km this year. We'll see...

Tuesday: 4 rounds (walk) ~ 4km
Wednesday : 4 rounds (walk+run) ~4km

Jogging with girlfriends is soo much fun. We don't need to jog faster, we just have to gossip to raise up our heart rate ;)

I've decided I want to have long floooowy hair when I get hitched... And I just cut my hair pixie short, go figure... Maybe the short hair will stick for awhile. So far, I'm loving it!

haircut

I had a new haircut before my birthday...

But I'm getting bored with it after few weeks... So, thinking of getting it shorter like this one? Dunno if I can pull it off, since the cheeks area have gone rounded over the years! Hahahahh.. Tapi who cares kan, with the new haircut, I'll probably spend less than 5 minutes getting ready in the morning....

fight-or-flight

I don't do fights. In fact I hate fights because I don't even know how to fight fair. Being a taurus that makes it even worse, we taurus are stubborn creatures. How the hell do they do that in the movie? Like fighting so calmly without screaming and screeching noises? Most of the time I choose to flight and brood in silence. You can totally tell that I'm pissed cause you'll get that cold shoulder aura from me. But I'll turn around eventually, I always do.

Don't blame me for this, maybe I do have overdrive biological cue for my fight-or-flight response?

Males and females tend to deal with stressful situations differently. Males are more likely to respond to an emergency situation with aggression (fight), while females are more likely to flee (flight) turn to others for help, or attempt to diffuse the situation -'tend and befriend'.

Do you fight or flight?

birthday & b&s

You Are a Visionary

You tend to be a the rock in relationships - people depend on you. Thoughtful and caring, you often put others needs first. You aren't content to help those you know... you want to give to the world. An idealist, you strive for positive change and dream about how much better things could be. Your strength: Your intuition Your weakness: You put yourself last Your power color: Rose Your power symbol: Cloud Your power month: June

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I had a little too much time on my hand before heading home... So, took the time to find out what's my birth date mean which I found so not true... i don't think i'm a visionary-i'm more like a realist. i'm not an idealist-i'm a pure realist with tad of cynicism. And I'm not the rock in a relationship, it's more like i put my relationship in a rocky positions - always do. But I do dream of better things in life, who doesn't?

I watched B&S finale on monday and found it quite sad... Not for Justin & Rebecca (spoiler) who get engaged, but i think justin's proposal is soooo sweeeeeet. I mean what could top that? Exactly like what I wrote in my post before, being with somebody could just change you to be a better person. It's kinda sad for Kitty & Robert, I had been rooting for them since they first started dating. I hope they'll still be together next season...

Alamak, the summer hiatus is here.... I can't imagine how boring it would be....

room makeover

i need good bedroom aura.. hence the need of a room makeover....

after contemplating for a long time, i've finally did it!

1) Bought nippon paint - 5 ltr of vinilex (pebble grey)-RM98 + 2 ltr of satin glo (robust red)-RM56 + 7 ltr undercoat - RM40
2) masking tape
3) ready-to-use cement for cracked walls

this is the almost empty bedroom

labor in action

Room beforeRoom after

a plan for my bedroom

i'm soooo loving my bedroom now :) now all i need is a new curtain to match!

the day i turned

26 years old...

gawd, i do feel o.l.d - tapi like what people say, age is just a number right?

Tapi still, feeling old-ish, I've bought myself new mosturizer/anti-ageing cream also eye cream few months ago...With my low-tolerance to stress and incapability of being patient, i need all the anti-ageing cream i could get! hahahahahha...

well... it's all good so far. i'm on leave today, so gonna be at home and embracing my new age . hehehehehhe...

long weekend

I have already gotten few tickets to get away from where I am this year. Didn't even check the book for events, talk about gambling, huh... Two in October and another one in August. The October one is special because I bought the ticket to see R got married... Tapi sekalinya when I checked my dept's schedule, it's there, written in red BOLD, one of the most important event of the year.

I doubt I could miss it, so.. most probably I couldn't make it to R's wedding :( sob... sob... But I'm wishing you all the best R... Mmmmmm, ever thought of having the wedding webcast via web-conference?

After talking about it for years, I finally gonna do it. I'm gonna paint one of my bedroom walls RED! This is like hot red! While waiting for them to mix the paint, I was talking about hardwood floors and plastered ceiling. OMG, I never thought I get to this point of talking about house renovation and be taken seriously. Er, which makes me wonder, do I look like Old?

All my energy now is heading towards my bedroom... I need to get all my stuff out of the bedroom, and trust me I've got lotsa stuff... After painting job is done, I want to have my very own reading nook. I still haven't found the right chair yet. Something comfy and warm. Also, I will be looking into my digital pictures library for photos to be framed.

This is very exciting!!!

I'm on leave until wednesday next week, so I'm gonna enjoy my very absence from the office ;)

random post

One week had passed, I don't know where do I stand... Am I in denial or do I couldn't care less about it? Can people be denial about being in denial? What I know is, changes happen, you can't stop just because things don't happen as you want it to be. I can't be greedy and have it all right? I hope I won't have to go through stage 4, but it's there written in the rulebook. Can I get express boarding to the end of this?

off-day

I'm on leave today... Gonna go watch "He's not that into you" at gsc, go drink expensive coffee and get distracted for the whole day. It's almost 1pm, and I'm still on my bed... Talk about wallowing big time!

I'm gonna get a hair makeover this weekend... Due to recent event, I'm gonna go for a funkier highlight, red perhaps? Hair salon is like the replacement for an hour sitting in a shrink's office, it's thereauputic and relaxing at the same time...

Communication is the key to a good relationship. Once it's gone, all hell break loose. So, knowing what you expect from another person is as important as waiting for it happen. I mean, how would you get something that you want, if you're not gonna ask for it? When you don't ask questions, how do you get the answers? When you don't expect anything, you've got no point for waiting....

p/s my birthday is in a week time.... I already ask what I want....

cyber-catharsis

Ever since my training, I hadn't been sleeping well. Well, I sort of drifted early (as early as 10pm), but most nights I would be haunted by vivid dreams, and woken up around 4am in the morning by my dreams... Of course most of time I won't be able to go back to sleep until 6ish in the morning.

Last night, I'd slept early and had the weirdest dream ever (bukan xxx dream tau!). I was in a cafe lining up to buy food, and I surprisingly bumped into someone (who I used to pour my heart out shamelessly.. hehehee) - It's kinda shocking lah juga, since usually when I dreamt of that person, that's when I am in the most troublesome mind ever. It's like my subconscious was taking me where I wanna be - seeking for answer. Then terkejut bangun from sleep at 4 am knowing something had changed. It's been awhile that I get in touch with my instinct/gut-feeling, knowing that I had this dream, I knew something had changed/or will change. And I was right....

But I've got no answers. So temporarily, I'm just gonna bury my head in mountains of paperworks and spend lotttttss of time on bed.

Nothing better than a comfort of ben & jerry's ..

away again

I am away from home for two weeks... I'm kinda glad this is happening at the right time. I guess I'm one of those people who got itchy staying at one place for too long. Somehow being at different places at different time makes you like that... It's such a fun thing to explore different cities where nobody really knows you. You could never bother sitting alone at a coffee shop alone or watching movies by yourselves. Erk, I don't know whether that was sad or it just says that you're comfortable being alone (not lonely yea). Also, where else can you have some vacation fling kan? Because when you're actually gonna be at one place for a short period of time, and somebody actually asked for your number and you actually give it, I think that only means one thing: vacation-fling! Of course what happened when you're away stays there... on this topic, i'm not gonna elaborate more.. hehehehehe...

I'm bringing Twilight, New Moon for my trip. Since our hotel doesn't have entertainment beside star movies, I can always turn to my book for pleasure. I also toss in Emotional Intelligence book, this one so that I can deal with whatever people behavior out there, as well as for my own personal drama.

In less than month, I'll be adding a +1 to my age, but.... I think I make a lousy adult. I still can't keep up with the pay-the-bills at at the end of every month, I still can't handle office politics, I still can't be as assertive as I want to be at this age, I triple think whatever I want to say in a meeting (so that I won't look stupid) and I still don't know if I can pass for handling personal issues of my own. Heck, I mean I don't even know what emotional maturity means...

Oklah... it's almost end of my training ....

will be writing soon...

Singapore Trip

Singapore Trip

Last month, out of the blue, Mel called me up and asked me whether I wanna join her to Singapore! Without hesitation, I said yes!!! It's time for the travel buddies to be reunited. Hehehe.... So flight was booked, the vacation started on Friday until Monday... Lucky for me, I got super-cheapo flight ticket from Air Asia (KK-Changi) while Mel flew via JetStar from KLIA.

I got to S'pore at 9pm, and about the same time as Mel arrived at Changi as well...

Second day (Saturday), me and Mel spent the day shopping and exploring the endless shops at Orchard Road... But with our currency at RM2.41 for $1 - erk, I guess shop till you drop is out of question...

Saturday night, went to Clarke Quay where people dine, wine and having a good time ...
On our third day, we went to explore the city... Do what tourists do, bringing huge dslr camera and started snapping...

At Sentosa IslandEr, this is supposed to be an artsy shot ... hehehehe

Sentosa Island - Song of the Sea

Going home.... Garden at Changi Airport... ooh yea, shopping at Changi Airport is heavenly...


No big shopping this time around, I only bought two C&K sandals and my favorite chocolate, Lindt (this satisfied my craving)....

Good trip, good company for good time...

Until next trip okay?

i'm back

Just got back from a wonderful Singapore trip... I so deserved that vacation, of course... after days of working late and working on weekends??

Anyway, pictures and updates coming up soon... Now I gotta relax my aching feet from too much walking...

packing list

I hope this year is gonna be a year full of travel... More often, I sometimes bring more than necessary... So hopefully after years of experience, maybe I'm a better 'packer' now... But we're women, what do you expect? We need one shoes for each pair of dress ;) I remember when I travel during the first year, I was travelling with only backpack (no choice because we were travelling by train at that time). But after that when we had to travel to a different place by car, me and my girlfriend brought lotsa of other stuff, and this includes 3 pair of shoes for just 4 days of travel . Hehehehehe...

So.... here are my packing list for future reference :)
1. Identification (IC/Passport)
2. Ticket (as well as ticket number written someplace else in case I lost my printed ticket
3. Toiletries (travel size of course) & Makeup (only bring powder, concealer & blusher- the others just leave it at home)
4. Tops & Pants (something that I can mix n match)
5. Pyjamas ( the lightest possible)
6. Towel ( the thinnest possible)
7. Handphone & Charger
8. Camera & Camera charger
9. A book to read while waiting for flight
10. Notebook & a pen in case I get inspired (wahahahah)

I know some people make fun of me with my list (esp when travelling for a day, people would wonder what's the list for?).... See, usually I would make my list earlier, maybe a day or two days earlier than my flight, so the night before, I just toss every item in my list into the bag. Trust me, it saves hell lotsa time. Oh yeah, I also can spend the extra hour thinking what baju to toss in the bag ;)

Happy Packing!

***pssst, I'm already writing down my singapore trip list.... obsessed much?

my fatal flaw

I enjoy watching tv shows since I was in college... Drama is addictive but personal drama isn't... Believe it or not, there are shows that I haven't stop watching since college, and college is long time ago. Now, one of my favorites is Brothers & Sisters. I love it! The scripts (even though some are a bit melodramatic, tapi still good screenwriting) as well as the actors/actresses...In fact, last Sunday's episode is one of the best for me. I will review the episode probably soon...

Anyway, here's one of Everwood quote......

My Fatal Flaw, by Ephram Brown (Everwood)

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw: my inability to change.

I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse.

So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little.

When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do.

But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again. "

how to deal with negative people

This type of species is everywhere....

But now, I'm gonna use this tips on myself... Balik from holiday terus stress + overwhelmed... I better find solutions before I go off attacking innocent civilians out there!

Oh yeah, I already stick my Singapore Itinerary on my cubicle wall so that I have something happy to think of.

- I bought few mineral makeup from lovingminerals - I'm in love with mineral makeup! I think it's much more natural than regular makeup, plus it's less cakey/pasty-looking. I bought Lumiere finishing powder, everyday mineral's blush as well as the kabuki blush. Since I don't go to shops that much anymore, all shopping is done at the comfort of my bed. How convenient...

- Last week I had supper at grace point. Went to Claypot to order Ginger Beef... After paying RM6.50/RM7.00 for the food, 15 minutes later this is what I got....

Few ketuls of beef,

and.... a full bowl of onions!

OMG Memanglah not worth it..... So- don't go to claypot in grace point. I don't mind paying more for good food, tapi this, sudahlah mahal, it doesn't even taste good....

- Went to Focus Point 1Borneo to make lenses for my glasses. After talking to the salespeople, somehow I terbeli the transition lenses. After picking it up, I realize that the lenses are not high index, it was actually the same standard as NORMAL lenses, index 1.50---- I blamed it on the sales people.... I feel soooo ripped off. After talking and discussing, I already mentioned that I would prefer high indexed lenses yang sangatlah nipis. Now I feel like throwing the glasses in the garbage!!!! And after spending hundredddsss on it, I feel sooo wasted... I mean, money doesn't fall from the sky okaaaY! This is totally pissing me off! The sales people are not experienced, they probably would prefer people buying expensive stuff rather than giving people choices of what's best! STUPID!

- It costs me rm400 to fix/paint my car! Honestly, I wouldn't even mind driving a car with a minor scratch as long it gets me from point A to point B. Tapi to avoid nagging and hours of lectures, I'd rather pay the extra 100 to avoid all those.... Why can't people think like Randy Pausch when his wife wrecked his car? I mean rather than lecturing one on how to be a safe driver, why can't they think "bad things happen to good people too". (hehehehhe)

This is from here.
"Nobody likes a negative person. Listening to complaints from someone with a pessimistic, mud-slinging, doom and gloom attitude can drain your energy, push your patience to the limit, and impact your mental and physical health."

So solutions:-
- don't get it get to you.... The only difference of a grave and a rut is how deep it is...
- find solutions.
- don't bother to stay after 5pm when you don't even get paid OT. What's the point right?

and finallllllyyy... Chillleex..... go chill someplace nice and have nice cuppa hot chocolate....

update

I am on leave today... Oh my, how I miss waking up late. I know some people who get up early even on weekends, but I'm sooo not one of them. It's such a cozy feeling staying in bed until 10am (that's not late ok). After that, I babysat the kids at home, OMG, penatnyaaaa... I burned all the calories I had from DoubleCheeseBurger.

For those men out there, women do keep scores. Men who think they got 10 points from ONE expensive gift, they got it wrong. This is how women keep score, gift 1 point, card 1 point, breakfast in bed 1 point, surprise message in our jacket pocket 1 point... Oh yea, don't forget we deduct marks too - so please be nice to your ladies so that you'll look good in our books.

BIM 2009 is coming up in October. So, do join me for half marathon. This time, I plan to train properly... Itupun see-lah if work is letting me out early (how to train when leave office at 7pm?). I think joining this is certainly a good motivation to get moving and keep an active lifestyle.

Anyway, congratulations to my 2240 housemate, R (ala GG pulak), on her engagement recently :) I'm expecting a save the date card early...

getaway

Sorry I had been m.i.a for awhile. Nothing much had been going on, just had been occupied with work which is draining me like crazy!~

Although I am excited to say I am going to have a getaway with my long lost travel buddy, Mel to Singapore next month! You know what's the beauty of going oversea- office can call you, but you have the perfect excuse to not pick up. Roaming charges are very expensive okay? Plus, it's a good way to get away from the mundan-ess of daily things. I always need a good getaway to recharge.

It's at that time of the month and added with the mounting of stress- I am as hell frustrated and moody. So... here are notes for future references:

1) Have a clear expectations of myself and other people, and make sure the other person is clear about it. This includes personal and professional issues okay?
2) A good plan can save you plenty of time and energy later
3) Make a note to other people to not annoy/irritate me with annoying remarks or questions when I'm moody (this is esp for guys. Why they do not get the sign that we obviously not interested to be chatty?)

Okay.. gotta go!

dbkk TH

Me and Josie are looking for team members for dbkk treasure hunt which will be held on 22 February. Because of I'm being "last-minute" this time - most teams are already constructed or people already have obligations... We probably would need someone who can drive- I definitely cannot be driving (can't think and drive at the same time-hazardous!)...

Info can be find here ....

This is the info from last year's...

So, who wanna join our winning team? Heheheheh....

v-day

The supposedly daily-updated blog has become the twice-a-month updated...

Anyway....

Here is tisha on her 2nd birthday. She cried because of the loud pop! So kesian... She got a barbie cake- tapi this time the cake wasn't that kembang (bantat eh?)

Baby Farish Hilman, a new addition to the big family! This was him two months ago-such a smallie-
This is after one month and half months... See how fast he's grown! The last picture just say it all... Stress... Bad (horrible) traffic... Sleep deprivation... just lead to this!

Oh yea- after the minor accident, I find justification to get days off. Eventhough, I won't be celebrating V-day (as usual-working), I am still rooting cheap fares to go somewhere.

The only time I can get off-days is when I get away and have flights booked!

So any interesting travel plans?

update

I'm still here!!!

Sorry for the long hiatus... I had been 'kinda' busy at work - does that 'kinda busy' means that I'm not delegating and prioritizing enough? The truth is I had been spending more and more time at work lately. More always means spending 11 to 12 hours at work and Saturday is spent at work. Not only I don't allow myself off-day on Sat, I also ask staff from the office to come on Saturday. Yes, I can practically admit that I basically don't have a life :/ (as well as depriving other people their lives!)

Despite my whining, there's one thing that I feel comfortable with work, it's so tangible and comprehendible. Although with the mountainous paperwork on my desk, I feel like they're beyond my control unlike other things in life.

Oh yeaa, I just realized that we have reached end of January. So what's the progress with your new year's resolutions? Erkkk, I've forgotten some of my resolutions. I remember one of them is spending less time at work and finally get a social life. That one is certainly not going well, but I'm not so worried, I'm a late bloomer anyway.. Hahahaha...

Talking about late bloomer, I feel like I'm so stuck in the middle of teenage-hood. I always imagine when I'm 25/going to-26, I'll be that calm lady who already figured things out, including an expert in juggling work, family, friends and relationship. Certainly not someone who's still struggling with hormonal changes before that time of the month and also fickling with decisions daily. I somehow think all of these are associated with the middle child syndrome! (It's always easy to blame on something else rather than yourself kan?)

Eh, enough drama-talk. I'll continue with more updates tomorrow. Tisha's 2nd birthday, new nephew (yg milkaholic) as well as upcoming off days!

16 random things

Aik, I think last time it was only 8 random things, now it has gone to 16... I hope the next time it won't be 24... heheheheh

So here it is 16 random things about me tagged by Lana.

1. I sleep with the lights ON every NIGHT. Nope, I'm not scared of the dark... not at all, but I get restless with the lights off(I mean what can you do with the lights off just alone with your thoughts?) So, usually I read until I doze off every night. When I was small, dad was kind enough to check on me and switch off the light, now... the light is on until I wake up in the morning.

2. I have a thing for Lists! My organizer is soooo FULL with lists. List bills to pay lah... things to do... books to read... things i paid... Not that I rigidly follow my to-do-list but it helps me to be a lil more organized.

3. I have changed job (careerwise still in the same industry) 3 times since graduating.

4. I skipped primary 5 - hopping to primary 6 when I was in Primary School. So, in high school, I was a year younger than the rest of my classmates.

5. Despite my fear of public speaking, I was forced to be MC for an annual dinner during my first job. And heck I was supernervous - I think I got stage fright! But lucky me, I didn't trip on the stage (despite my long dress) or stumble on words.

6. Back in high school-my ambition was to be an accountant. Siap mintak tukar major to accountancy from JPA when I was offered to do IT.

7. I'm more of follow-your-head than follow-your-heart kinda person. Tapi at times hormones do intervene... Reality and practicality rules!

8. Same with Rozanna, I don't really watch TV anymore. Now, I just watched downloaded shows (A LOT!).

9. A tad perfectionista - in certain things onlylah... If I want to do a certain things well and done in time- then I would do it. Once upon a time, I used to sort my clothes according to colors, erk how obsessive is that (or maybe I had too much time in my hand!)?

10. I can be compulsive at times - I recheck my car/house whether it's locked a few times. Sometimes I would go through the extra hassle of going back to the car even when I already reached the office door (shopping mall's door).

11. I realized I was shortsighted in high school-tapi despise glasses. So started pakai contacts when in UiTM until now.

12. Think more of practicality of the things I bought now. Back when I was a student, mmg shoppacraze lah-the temptations to shop were everywhere- online shopping, crossgates, factory outlets... Now, buying clothes/handbags/shoes makes me think gazillion times, tapi spending money on good mosturizer, new bowling ball ok pulak.

13. I have a horrible habit of eating junk food while driving home - mostly when driving to parents home!

14. As a typical Taurus-ian, I am stubbbooornn as hell. If I want something then I'll damn make sure I'll get it!

15. When asked where I'm from, I always say from Papar but I grew up in few places, spent primary school years in Keningau and high school in KK. So, when asked about things/people from Papar, I have no idea. Is there any correct answer for that question? Does it mean, where you grew up? Or where did you spend your childhood?

16. I still can't believe I am 25 years old and to be 26 years old this year!

I'm gonna end this tag here, but feel free to do this tag if you want ;)

Happy New Year!
