MidAutumn Night's Dream

Don't worry, this shall not be a post on the play written by William Shakespeare.

It's just this particular dream that woke me up a while ago ...

If they have reality show on tv, this is what I call a 'reality dream' playing right before I woke up. Everything is so real.

It is like I'm doing exactly what I'm doing in the dream.

I'm sweating, I'm crying and I'm angry. I woke up with my exactly 'that face'

After this, I'll try to go back to sleep ... the night is too long to be awake. I need to rest.

Rest from reality. Hopefully I doesn't go into another 'reality' again.

Once, a friend told me, if you have terrible dreams, that means you have unresolved issues.

I bet that's true.

I hear this song ...

Amazing Grace

some time ago, a friend shared this song / gospel.

I didn't know the title but

and upon hearing the 1st few notes, I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

They just came down ..

I guess it must have been the memories I had ..

the very 1st time I heard this song was during mummy's funeral (albeit the chinese version)

and for the following don't know how many days / months / years ...

my heart has found solace in this gospel ..

because it will be accompanying mummy (and us) throughout this journey for a long long time.

At that time, I used to sing and hymm this song for mummy ... so that she'll not feel so lonely and afraid in her 'journey' and so that she know I'm with her always although we are 'far far apart'

Only god knows how how much I miss you ...

PRECIOUS (from BBWS 2011)

Guess how much this set of 'Brain Quest' would have cost me outside? When I found them ( only a few left) and a 'gentleman' is trying to conveniently grab them from my box, I gave him that 'stare' ...haha
You can take anything that's meant for me...but never anything that's meant for my children...













Omnibuses from some of my fav authors (like Danielle Steel, Dorothy Koomsoon, Nora Roberts, Ken Follett, David Baldacci) ... for RM10 each. Effectively, that's RM5 per story.











Golds ... some books which I've been wanting very much to read & own but didn't willing to part with my $$. The prospect of finding them was estatic ... particularly Nicholas Sparks - The last song & The lucky ones and Anchee Min - Empress Orchid & The last empress. RM8 each even for hardcover.













Some other books which I'm very glad to find ... Felt like hitting jackpot .. albeit a smaller windfall but nevertheless, never failed to bring smile.

















Some asian writings ... which I start to find intriguing and interesting. Perhaps it's due to the rich culture and something we are able to relate to.

Another set of books from parenting, self help and general ... these are treasures =) RM8 each except for Lilian Too feng shui - RM15.

Last but not least - children books ranging from RM3 - RM6. Except for the 300 over pages Disney storybook collection for RM12. Was lucky didn't get the lace & trace motor skill development kit from another bookfair earlier for RM27. Now I got something similar for RM6 (with six different designs inside) ... yippie.

wth...I've got more important things to attend to.

Today at this time, I'm supposed to be physically present at office testing for DR (Disaster Recovery) exercise.

But here I'm sitting at computer right @ home. Instead I conveniently ask help from another colleague to 'stand in' for me and conveniently told my boss that I'm not able to come and had make arrangement for it. I believe due credit must be given to my colleague for helping me.

I've got a 2nd chance today ... to attend to something which I've been longing to. Never mind that it's taking up a whole day, never mind that I may be rated 'irresponsible / under-performing' at work, never mind all that ...because to me, this is way more important.

till then, wish you have a good day too =)

花花世界花家姐

Just managed to finish watching this ... Next to complete is Secret Garden (Korean series).

next up, big bad wolf (local series) ... =p

previous weekend experiment

白果 fu chuk barley ....

I think I used the wrong type of 'fu chuk' as it took very long time to really melt.

Lesson : ask the shopkeeper for the type for boiling 'tong shui'

chicken leg mushroom + ang ku kueh - what they have in common?

last time it was this

now this

我和 '他' 有一个约会

Tomorrow (or rather today)

I'm having a date with 'him'

I've been eyeing 'him' for god knows how long before I dare to ask 'him' out.

Looking back, it must have been the fear of rejection, feeling of helplessness that were holding me back.

So, last week, I buck up the courage to ask 'him'

and he said 'YES'

I was elated. It was like having a big stone lifted from my heart.

So, now I'm sleepless over tomorrow's date.

It has been some time since I'm in the dating scene, so I wonder whether I'll be 'good enough'

I wonder how's it like when we meet, I'm worried about what should I wear, what are we going to do, what are we going to eat, and when it comes to paying ...

My heart is fluttering, so is my stomach ... how many hours more do I have to wait? Why time seem to pass so slowly...

how to use?

got this gym ball for RM5 from tesco ... now I'm learning how to use it.

This ball come right on time ... just when I need it =)

3000+ steps

Managed to reach 3000+ steps this morning ... although I lost some counts in between when seeing and greeting some neighbours.

Nevertheless, I feel good.

Yah, I know counting steps is childish and non-productive.

But it's effective to get my mind of my worries.
