A couple of fave photos from my cammy last Fri!
Can't wait to receive the professional photos & videos from EO side!!
As expected, din get to take many pics as I wanted to, but I was glad I got to eat ;)
Until today, compliments kept coming in, from management, from colleagues...
Can't help but feel a little empty now that this D&D craze is over,
but probably I really need some time now to think some things through in my personal life.
It's easy to fall in love,
but it's hard to maintain that love.
But I will hold on,
because I love you, T.
:')
- Mood:
peaceful
Someone said this to me today and struck me really hard,
"Choose a man who will make you a better woman".
Rest is not a luxury,
It's a necessity.
So true for this month, gosh really stretching my limits!
Have not much time for myself to rest/spend time with T/spend time with friends/
randomly text friends to say hello etc etc. these days.
Not complaining,
seize the moment while it last! ;)
Counting down 1 more week to my coy's D&D,
and then it will marked another mini milestone,
another little footprint imprinted :)
- Mood:
tired
LOL.
Actually many a times I wanted to update this space,
but I guess it's a case of too many things, too little time.
I am happy if I am able to have some good sleep for weekdays!
Sleep can't never enough for me for weekdays but not that I am complaining!
Work definitely has its ups and downs, but I guess POSITIVENESS ROCKS!!! :)
Lovin' my cheery pies at work! <3
A few things really looking forward to this weekend & next:
1) Fondant cupcakes class OH SO FINALLY! Time to upgrade my skills!
2) Steamboat with Random Gang
3) Catch up with old friends!
4) KRRRRRRRRRABI! Counting down 7 daysss! Let's hope the relatively new resort we are staying at will rock our boats! ;)
TTFN!
Happy New Year to you! If anyone is still reading this blog... LOL.
- Mood:
excited
Gonna remove the cobwebs building up!
Stay tuned! ;)
And hope u had a GREAT christmas,
cos I did & am feeling the inertia to go work tmr after 4 days of break!
But this week gonna be a short one too heh ;)
Good things must share, so pls see the video below!
I guess Adele's voice is so so so awesome & powerful!
Glee cast did this video damn well too!
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurt instead"
Anw yes HELLO DECEMBER!
I had a "HELLO XXX" for the months for some of the past entries,
which I guess has somehow became a habit of mine, to go Hello this and Hello that in my blogging/tweets haha...
The last month of the year,
prolly came too soon for us.
Too soon for us to realize that the year will be gone before we know it.
For me, it's the time of the year which I do lots of reflection,
and more often than not, I find myself in tears reminiscing about all the things that had happened in my life thus far.
It's like a flashback all in the mind,
and too fast, too furious for the heart to take all at a go...
Not that I'm a pessimist and only have bad memories in life LOL.
Thank you to all who are loving me <3
Anyhow it's gonna be officially the half year mark being a working adult!
I guess I have proven my worth when my department was shorthanded for that period of time,
now that two newbies have joined me in the same rank,
I guess the workload for next WY should be more spread out perhaps,
am hoping I will get more international and cross-divisional exposure,
and I should get a rough answer on 9 Dec which is Retreat Day.
Retreat = Half work half play in this context LOL.
Initiated ice-cream making workshop and woots,
IT IS GOING TO MATERIALIZE HEEHEE :D
Been studying my jap for the past 2 days, some sort of haha.
The motivation isnt quite high, cos I signed up for the WRONG level abcdxyz :(
So prolly surrendering white flag even before going in :x
Oh and this point time, it's time to set new goals!
I believe in it, and it is time to plan for all the travelling,
given that I self-embargoed myself from all personal travelling for 1st 6 months of job so that I can get a good hang of things at work!
Seems like it paid off :)
Gonna spend some time thinking of this,
and hopefully all the exciting things will one by one fill up my new year turning 24!
Can't wait for my lao ban tmr + trying out Cocotte this Sat finally after missing it out on a fully reserved seating the other time for Alfred's birthday!
This Sat gonna be extra awesomeee cos' din get to spend time with Mr BF last weekend cos of his biz trip,
and I love giving surprises! <3
And this is the month of giving! :)))
Finally to conclude, <<那些年>> was really so damn good!
Really glad that Mr BF enjoyed it too :)
喜欢它的简单,它的朴实.
戏里没有什么海枯石烂地老天荒,
只有很清纯很简单的爱情小品,
就因为简单,所以更容易让人牵动...
我真的有被感动到 :)
CATCH IT IF YOU HAVE NOT!!!
- Mood: happy
Woohoo can take a little while before sleep to write an entry,
which is really rare for a weekday.
But I guess this week is a breather week for me after some hectic weeks previously,
and work should resume full steam from next week onwards!
So meanwhile I'm reflecting on some thoughts these days,
and doing some blogshopping after being off the radar for so long (to be share later! :D)
So first thing first, you know what are the 5 Love Languages?
Got reminded of it when I read LoveBonito's ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7){kind=small}
ms_rach's entry on it....
And I can't help but agree to almost the full extent of her thoughts,
though my r/s is a far cry from hers.. haha.
The main important gist is the fact on understanding what are the love languages of your other half,
or your future other half if you are not attached yet.
For singles means bf/gf of cos.
I first heard of the love languages from a colleague-friend in late June,
she's like a love guru and we all love to hear interesting stories & insights on r/s from her!
So she was sharing how different the love languages of hers and her fiancee is,
and the importance of understanding this difference...
"Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you."
There are 5 love languages in total, namely, Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Can't rmb what was my top love language the first time I did it, but this time round, it was Quality Time. And Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch follows thereafter. Very true, very true...
In Quality Time, nothing says "I love you" like full, undivided attention.
Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—
with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved.
Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.
I think there is so so so much to learn in a r/s...
To learn about someone truly deep down and know if he/she is the right one for you.
In dramas, this may seem so dreamy and any girl would want to marry a Prince Charming,
or some dream to be a tai-tai in life. Or maybe in real life too.
Doing a reality check, it definitely doesn't paint an entirely rosy picture.
Many a times, I go through rough patches with my dearest boy too,
and at times finding myself being unreasonable but can't help but feel that I don't get the so-called "love" that I desire.
Which actually boils down pretty much to what I define my love languages to be.
But the truth is, they may not necessarily be the ones that my boy define for himself...
I think I made him do the test before,
and Acts of Service is one of his top love language.
So different ya?
I have a sudden urge to go get the book and read more and understand more about these languages haha :D
So what is your love language?
You might want to check it out by answeing some questions over here: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/assessment
On another note, yay did some shopping finally!
Though it is done online, but it makes it so convenient for me,
and 95% of the time, I find myself fitting well into those I chose :D
First time bought stuffs from the famous Love Bonito,
BO-ed this simple nice dress in Burgundy, really like this shade!
So apt for Xmas and CNY! :)
And a knit top for cold weather in ivory! Double yay!
And and can't wait to receive the BO blazer in camel from TCL!!!
Hope the wait is really worth it...
The suede material and polkadot endings were the 2 main attraction points back then,
and I almost instaneously decided that I want to get it when I first saw their preview.
The photos taken for this collection was really beautiful!
(http://theclosetlover.livejournal.com/93
The world is really pretty small, the photographer I realized turns out to be a good friend of my ex-boyf.
Can't wait to upgrade my canon ixus to some semi-pro cammie,
S95? G12? I still have my affection towards olympus pen haha! :D
Should be getting one in Jan before CNY,
and change my phone too since my 3GS will be 21 months old by then! :D:D
Now definitely time to start shopping for the two festive seasons,
and gosh 2011 is gonna end before we know it @.@
It is just the start of the working life,
and so much more ahead to plan for and work towards :)
One little bear step at a time, I've been reminding myself :)
x, M.
- Mood: calm
Me at Lake Tekapo last Nov :)
The colour of the waters is so beautiful isnt?
These days I'm seeing the exchange photos of juniors of fb and of cos I can''t help but feel envious...
So did I make them envious last yr too? LOL.
The beauty of NZ South Island I saw it for myself... by my own eyes...
And the beauty of nature is far far far more awesome than the beauty captured in the photos....
A part of me really feel like going a holiday...
But I've actually made a silent promise to myself that I shall work real hard for the first 6 months of work,
by right it is also probation period,
and I want to set things right in my first job before thinking of flying off for a holiday...
Colleagues at work esp those being parents have taken their leave this and next mth,
and I guess office will be much more quieter in the last 2 weeks of dec.
But I'm still thankful for my lovely colleagues at work,
providing the little doses of laughter during serious work (imagine everyone working hard at his/her table and no much background noise hurhur)...
And for answering my questions patiently :)
Can't wait for Christmas to arrive!!!
The season to see beautiful Christmas lights and indulge in log cakes in the company of family & friends!
Gotta plan for some spring-cleaning to usher the Dragon year! My zodiac finally! :)
Ending off this entry by making a little little wish,
that next yr Christmas will be a white one :)
- Mood:
busy
I'm still alive on this blog!!!
Know that it's been more than 1 month since I last updated.
Oct is indeed a happy and lovely birthday month!
Shall sum up Oct in my next entry! xoxoxoxo :)
