Thumb Down.

So, the manicurist injured my left thumb last night.

It was so painful that while having a conversation with my pregnant sister, I let out a really loud shout. 

Then, it started bleeding. 

This morning, woke up, still painful and still bleeding a lil.

I feel so "not complete" now that the thumb is down. 

Have a careful Thursday, everyone.

That made me miss my college years, so much.

Color Cheers.

When Kelly was old enough to talk, she told me that the color she hates the most is black, because black is so like dark and scary. And then, she went on to say she hates pink too. Now, that's my girl. We both hates pink. But her schoolbag, water bottle, pencil case and other things she loves are all in pink. It's like we've got no choice but to like pink if you know, you happen to like those fairytale characters and most of them comes in pink. Sha Lynn definitely gonna get colorful things from me. No pink. Say no to pink! Purple still acceptable. Hah. Actually some shades of pink is nice. Sometimes, my braces are in pink. Like lips kind-of-pinkish-red.

During my era in primary schools, we go around with a nice diary, asked all our friends to write down their 'biodata'. Should have kept those diaries of biodatas till today la. Memories like that is precious. Anyways, one of that MUST question is "What is your favorite color?'. I remember mine was blue and then it changed to green when I enter Form 1. And it stayed green till today.

Colors definitely affect my decisions making in certain things. Like when I'm looking for a shampoo brand to try it out, anything pink will automatically be out of my list, or at least the last in the list when I have no choice at all. Or like certain shops that I will never walked in by myself because it's all pink, like that shop next to Kim Gary in Gurney last time. Now, it's dessert place d. Or like, I will never buy a pink dress/top/skirt. Even when my sister gave me a pink bottle that keeps a foldable umbrella, I kept it in Koay's car (actually because his car usually doesn't have umbrella also la). At first he thought it was a bottle and he refused to use it because it was pink. His reaction was huge! I even told him that I got it especially for him and make him feel guilty. So funny to see the way he reacted. Then, later only found out that it was actually an umbrella. Immediate relief shown from his face man. Anyways, it is proven that a  pink hater I am. Not that extreme though. Like some of the facial masks I use are wrapped in pink glossy plastic. 

But the, as years passed, I realized my 'hate' towards this color is dying. Like really quickly. I find myself becoming 'okay' with this, which is not me at all. 

Anything green (right shades of green that is) gets my attention immediately. Once, i bought a plain notebook that costs me RM30 plus, just because it looked so nice in that right shades of green. Went home and regretted. Probably got nagged by Koay for few days in a row (can't really remember how many days)

But now, I like anything that is colorful. More than one color. I like it even better if it has that unique look to it. Like it's so unusual kind. I will spend money to get it even if I have no idea what its functions are or even if I don't need it at all. Argh, this habit/obsession needs to end. But yeah, colors make me happy. I think color makes most people happy. It it doesn't, then it should. It cheers up the mood, for sure :)

Bluey Day.

Waking up to the alarm this morning was such a pain. Never actually felt so ughh before to any mondays ever since I started working and having to wake up at 8am everyday (even on weekends!). What is happening?

I remembered a conversation I had with Josh the other day and surprisingly, my response became different than what I agreed with him then.

Josh: Wah, now I really feel it lo that I'm getting old.
Me: I know right *sad face*
Josh: It's like I don't want to sleep at all, you know.
Me: *looks at him* *waits for his explaination*
Josh: Cos don't want to waste the time ma.
Me: Yes hor. True heh.

I agree la with what he said. His logic behind it. But that's not what really that's happening to me eh. It seems like I just want to sleep more. Either cos I get tired easily now or sleeping has always been very important! Haha. Whatever it is, if I don't get "enough" sleep or food, I think i will get quite grumpy lo. Koay should know about that. Hah.

So today, I dragged myself to shower, brushed my teeth, checked the Instagram, called the babe and almost switched on the TV (come to think about it, I should have. It'll prob make me feel better! WHY DID I NOT DO IT! Argh.)  And then, I ate three pieces of oatmeal cookies with strawberries and blackcurrant (thought it would make me feel better but it didn't). Then, the thought of blogging about it actually made me feel better a lil. Somehow. It's so weird. It's like letting out one uncomfortable vomit or something.
I don't know about the rest of you and how you're feeling today or how you're handling your Monday blues if you have any but this definitely works alright for me.

Yeah, it's Monday today.
i will forever be 22 years old.

Busy Friday.

busiest day of the week: Friday.

03 January 2013

Change is certain.

Surprise surprise! 

Change of layout is not optional. i was 'forced' to change it. 

The previous layout which was taken from blogskin went crazy (it's prob cos I did something also le heh) and I decided to just stick to the ones that doesn't need special professional way of handling its html. Such pain they give me I tell you. Almost spoil my entire day. Almost. 

How not to be tempted to be emo and moody when the day also become so gloomy with all the rain and stuff? But I did it. So proud of me self. Heh.

So I've just spent hours trying to get this current one fixed and up to my expectation. Shoulders are pretty sore right now from having to be so focused in it. Such dedicated blogger I am. 

I kinda like it. Not the best I've seen. But so far it's simple enough to my liking and it's not too plain. 

So, my title pretty much says it all. It made me realized today that whether I like it or not, change will happen. How I choose to see it or accept it will determine almost everything. I could have chosen to get really upset about it and complain non-stop in Twitter (which I did and then stopped) and Facebook, and then let this whole situation 'çontrols' me and my emotions and be grumpy whole day. 

It may seems like it's no biggie about this whole layout thing what right. But then again, when it comes to the things I love or like doing, I'm a lil OCD towards it. It has to be 'acceptable' to my eyes. And it really made me go 'NOOOO!' pretty loud in the office.

So yeah, I think and feel that there's going to be a lot of change happening around me this year. I like surprises but those kind that changes you forever, not very like-able. But for the future changes, I will definitely learn to accept it and look at it positively. I will for sure, bravely face them. That is, a promise to myself. 

The only one thing in my life that I know for sure will never change is the Big Man.
'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever' (Hebrews 13:8)

Anyways, I am feeling pretty excited for tonight's meeting to plan for the whole year's events and dates and camps and retreats. Ahh, the joy of serving the fireBRANDS. It's there. It has been there many many years ago. So glad the fire is still burning :)

One more day till the weekends, everyone :)

2013's 1st.

Yay! We did it. The world didn't end. The Mayan was wrong. Just some of the posts that I see on Facebook from last night till today. Can't believe some people actually believed that the world will end this year. It's pretty crap, no?

Anyways, FIRST POST OF TWO ZERO ONE THREE. 

31.12.2012.









Amazing last moments of 2012. 

31 December 2012

New Year's Eve of 2012.

2012 's New Year's Eve is finally here.

Don't know why this year's end feels more significant than any other years that I can remember. 

Even before the year ends, there were so many bonds formed and sacrifices made. Cannot believe I've actually lived 24 years of life. And many more years to go. Many more stories to be told. 

I'm definitely looking forward to see Sha Lynn for the first time. That will probably be the highlight of 2013 as for now. Few more months baby girl! :)

I hope you all will be having great time with the great people to being in 2013. 

:)

The Last 2012 Friday.

I got bored just now and started looking back to the past few years in Facebook. It definitely brought back a LOT of good and fun memories. Posts/photos/wishes that I actually forgotten about. And that actually made me think. How fast time has passed all of us by, isn't it. 

It's so funny to see how I've changed (physically) over the years. Not that it's massive but still (I do think I looked better as I grow older..)

Last Friday of 2012 and I am stuck in office with nothing to do. Tried making loads of appointments but they are either on leave or err.. on leave. So, I'm warming up my chair in office and I still have couple of hours to go.

Days like this I feel like I can go on being as random as I can. Hah. 

Oh, just in case you didn't already know, little one is a baby girl :) Apparently, she has been very active lately. Kicking and moving around like a boss. Four more months. It's going to be really awesome 2013. I just know it. 

Mom's gonna get a new phone. A new Hello Kitty's phone. She's definitely very excited about that. 

I haven't been to the nail salon for the longest time I tell you. No kidding. I used to be able to spend certain amount of money on these things but when I started working, the priority list seems to be re-shuffled. I miss those pampering moments. Time to look into Groupons and MyDeals and Living Socials to get those promotions! 

I changed my phone ringtone. So what right? Hah. Now, I just made people wait longer so that I can hear the chorus longer. 

Having choo char last night with the camp staffs make me realize that I haven't been eating choo char like that for quite some time d also. Sadness. Penang's chinese people has got to eat some rice yo. No rice, can die. 

Okay, I just asked my sister to buy for me the manipedi package. And a laptop table. Soooo cheap. I is happy girl today. And we've got a special surprise form Mr and Mrs Khoo too :)

I still haven't watch Life of Pi. It's so sad. We are never able to find time to date/hangout. Not in the month of December. But hey, no one's complaining. Get  to see each other a bit here and there is fine. Not great but fine.

I have plans for upcoming holidays but I can't find the 'perfect'date. Dilemma betui ni.

I hate nightmares. Or bad dreams. Or dreams that are totally useless yet they give you weird funny feeling when you wake up. Or dreams that causes arguments (yes, it happened).

I miss eating at Homes Chef Garden. It's been a while (actually I had dinner there a week ago but still miss it).

I thought I could already play Sims 3, but false alarm. Oh the sadness is huge. Now, I've gotta wait longer for it to actually work. Fingers all crossed.

*sings* 'You don't have to be a star baby to be in my show' 

I just finish watching a mini pig going down the stairs on youtube. Shoooo cutee! 

How nice is it that we get to spend the last Friday of the year with the company of good friends and good food. Turkey, I'm coming for you real soon!

I really want to experience snow at least once in my life. 

I found out that I'm not that adventurous kind of people after all. I've always wanted to try bungee jump but come and think about it right, it will never happen to me. I will never be daring enough to try. Skydive then maybe yes. Cos I'll be jumping down with a pro strapped to me. I think I dare la but who knows right. 

One thing girls must be absolutely good at is knowing how to hide the fats. The muffin top. Must learn la this one. Just must. Everyone say I lost weight but in actual fact, I've gained (i think). I'm just good at hiding them (not to be proud or what la). Heh.

I miss my college life soooo much. The giggling in class and the endless chats during group study. Gah, that part of life passes so quickly. I miss those mad bunch. 

I kept eating in office. So hard to NOT think of food when my drawer is filled with all those junks. 

Craving for beef noodles and Queen's Food Market's Thai Food Number 13. 

Signing off.

Moments in AYC 2012.

I was reminded of the reason why I'm still serving in fireBRANDS. Reminded of the passion that burns in me for each one of the youth. Reminded how seeing them re-dedicating their lives to Jesus gives me such joy. Reminded of how Jesus has blessed me through all the circumstances in my life that I now can share with them. Reminded that this battle was not fought alone by me, from the beginning of time. Reminded that as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Reminded that it's not all about physical-award-victory, but of making sure our peers are encouraged. Reminded that it is very important to live life through God's view. God reminded me a lot of things in those five days. I will see an increase in every aspect of this life God has given. The only focus/target/goal/resolution for the new year. INcrease. 




























Memories made, irreplaceable.
God is, indescribable.

Catching My Breath.

Catch My Breath
(Kelly Clarkson's best song ever, in my opinion)

I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath
Letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know
This is my life
I won't be told it's supposed to be right
Catch my breath
No one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that

Catch my breath
Won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith kinda comes around
I'll spent the rest of my life


You helped me see the beauty in everything
