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....

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 ;)
