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!

i miss ...

Twilight show on the Big Screen! I have been putting off watching Twilight since it came out. The excuse, wanted to finish the book first. After I did, then came Big Family Obligations, then work obligations yg kept me working past 7pm... After that, I was sooo tired that all I wanted to do is hit the bed.

But now..... it doesn't show in ANY Cinemas in KK anymore! Sob... Sob... Sob...

I guess I have to wait for the DVD Version to come out. But it's soooo different isn't it? There's no fancy effect of the vampires playing baseball and other thrill effect that you feel in the cinema...

So... moral of the story is: When given the chance to do something that you want, you have to grab it while you still can, because it may never come back in the future.*

*It's ok to be selfish while you still can
**Lucky me, there's a RM8 DVD!

oh end of the year....

After a long hiatus... I'm back to writing again...

Not so many things happened yet there are many things to be done...

I was away two times last week for work. Lucky me I got to be meet the RPIans on my very short trips. Of course one of them included a dine n bowl at Cineleisure. Oklah we weren't that great, but it's the company that counts right? Thanks Mel, Rozanna and Arep for a great time. Next time we rematch ? Lana and Sha, we meet another time yea?

I was at first excited the thought of jet-settings... But the truth is... It's quite exhausting. Not to mention time-consuming.. I mean the 5 hours spent at the airport (and in the airplane) could've meant crossing off 5 things in my to-do-list. Okay, that is if I were productive.

My flight going back to KK was quite a nightmarish. It was an airbus flight to Korea but with a transit to KK. Next to me was a guy who annnooooyed me to hell. Usually in the flight, I don't fancy chatting unless if that someone is somebody I know, exciting or extremelyyy cute (hahaha!). So, my trick is usually just plug in the earphone, shut my eyes, or read a book. Those are the absolute signs I gave to people to NOT DISTURB me. So, while I was gonna close my eyes, he started chatting. Chat about his work, his girlfriend, his problem with his girlfriend, and asked me to not sleep first before he goes to sleep. I mean, HELLLOOO? I have my own problem to think of!!! So, to make it clear, I gave the one-syllable answer to his questions-either hmmmm, yes or no... To avoid the conversations, I shut my eyes immediately after makan! Heheheheh...

Gonna continue later...
