I've just got back from the 2nd jab for today.
It has been some time since I last got jabbed ...
what more 2 in a day at the buttock (almost same spot) 12 hours apart
I've numb feeling all over my right leg.
I'm going to rest ... I need rest.
people say if there's anyone who's willing to take the pain for us ... it has got to be our parents and our love ones ... it is indeed true.

I'm back on track ...
source : flickr.com/photos/coloursofmalaysia/2227968631/I'm back on track ...errr. I mean the walking track at Tmn Tasik Permaisuri.
I've just came back from the track.
It has been like a month (that's a total of 4 weeks equivalent to 30 days) I've been absent from my weekly walk at the park.
It feels good to be alive and walking with the companionship of buddies. Thank you buddies.
Also thanks to CY & family whom I always trouble to pick me. Thank you very much CY.
Looking forward to more walks.
They say the 'walking' will make the 'process' easier ... hopefully it does help =D

'no need to read also can' post
It has been some time since I wrote something 'SOLID'
I used to be someone who write about what happened in my life ...
somehow I feel I've changed over time.
I'm now a little more protective of those dear to me in my life or coming into my life.
I'm not too sure as to whether this is for better or for worse ...
sometimes I feel like sharing my ups & downs in my life,
sometimes I'm afraid I spill too much for my own good.
Now that I'm closer to the BIG 30 ... I think I've got a clearer picture of what I want in life.
No doubt I do wander around aimlessly at times but I know what I want most of the time.
I also begin to understand more about unconditional love and responsibilities.
It has been a wonderful journey so far ... I would like to say thank you God for the blessings I received every day.
Yah, most probably you have the feeling "write already equal to didn't write" cause I "say some don't say some"
Perhaps it will be some time before I learn to open up again.

English is a difficult language .... for some
I couldn't stop laughing after reading this ... such is the beauty of language =plunchtime is lunchtime
The office phone rings, one of the employees picks up and says: "What kind of an idiot is it that dares to phone me in the middle of my lunch break?!?"
The caller shouts back: "Do you have any idea whom you are talking to...? I am the CEO of this company!"
The employee replies: "Do you have any idea whom YOU are talking to?"
Perplexed the CEO mumbles: "NO!!!"
The employee heaves a sigh of relieve and say: "Thank goodness for that!!" and hangs up.
ps. this is one smartie the company should retain =p

I added too much salt and ended up with a pot of 'sea water' =p .... there you see, I was & am never good in cooking but I hope I'll be good enough to cook for my children in future =)
那一天
This is one of my favourite movie of all time ... 天下无贼 A World Without Thieves

The song will start playing on minute 5:16 of the video snippet from the ending of the movie. A little long but I hope you can watch till the end.
and this short simple scene ... it's so simple yet it conveys a whole lot of emotions.

money money money
Lately, I'm worrying about money again ...
We seem to have many expenses coming and I feel I'm not earning enough.
Call me a kiasu but I'm more comfortable with some 'cushion' (the thicker the better) in my account rather than living from paycheck to paycheck.
I've been saving very hard from young ... thank to what my parents inculcate in me and I do take money very seriously.
Looks like now I'll need to pursue a higher income ... nevermind via the main stream or via side stream (even better if it's from multiple streams)
Help me ... I need the money.
I'm also in a dilemma. I do not know whether in times like this, is it appropriate for me to hint to my friend to return the money I lent her about 1.5 years ago?
I really do hope she and her husband is doing better now and returning a few thousands of dollars will be 'sap sap sui' for them. But then how come I find it so hard to ask? why?

will you or will you not?
A friend raised an easy question to another friend which may not have such an easy answer after all.
Q : You're not so into that person. However, if in the end, there's no other options / alternative, will you still choose to be together with that person? Will you?
I could not answer this question because I've found the person I love.
There are differing views on this though :
1. NO... It wouldn't be good to treat others as last options. It wouldn't feel good too if we are that person's shoe. If we think we both are not meant for each other, let the person go. Do not hang on or give that person hope just because we are afraid we couldn't find other better options. Thus if you've let go, no matter what happen in the end, you'd rather remain single than to drag the other person (whom you may love only half heartedly) in.
2. YES ... Sometimes, when we come to the last options, things may just work out wonderful. Never try never know. Sometimes, when we are still capable and have the conditions to find better options, we do not want to settle for 2nd best. However, things that doesn't look bright in the beginning may shine in the end...Susan Boyle remember?
3. YES ... Human being human are greedy and selfish creatures (although not all, i do not want to generalise). We do not want to be tied down to a person because we are secretly hoping we find a better option down the road. At the same time, we may refuse to let the person go because we want 'security' .. something we can fall back on just in case other options fail. Thus we want both the 'grass is greener' option and the 'security' despite being unfair to the other person. In the end, you still think having 'someone' is better than 'having no one'.
But then again, like they say, love is blind ... you could be not into that person at 18 but love that person to bits at 28... so things in life are sometimes hard to say.
Will you or will you not?

clean up act
Arriving unusually early in office yesterday, looking at my office desk ... it suddenly occur to me to clean my office desk .... to sort out what's below, what's above and what's inside my desk.
If you're wondering what's below my desk, wonder no more .... there are currently 19 boxes, 2 pairs of shoes / sandals, some paper bags, some plastic containers, some recycled A4 papers in 2 boxes.
what's on my desk .... papers & papers, files, calendar, plants, monitor, keyboard, telephone, some souvenirs from colleagues....
what's inside my desk (basically refering to 3-tier drawer) ..... haha, my colleagues say I have a sundry shop here right at my desk.... basically it consist of neccessities like dry condiments / foods, medicines, mobile kitchenware (eg.bowl, spoons, forks), personal items, a support pillow, some recycled plastic bags, ang pow packets, notebook, groceries which I've yet to bring home.
haha...now that I do stock check, really like a sundry shop, isn't it? =p hehe
update as of 11/6/09 8:40am : I've only managed to clear my desktop of some papers and old newspapers and brought some brochures home to for wishbone's shi* =p i think to really clear this whole place of mine will take weeks if not month ... it's a personal MEGA project (imagine how long it took me to accumulate those THRASH) =p wish me luck.

getting angry
Looking back, I almost never got angry for the past 6 - 9 months ... and hope to keep it that way =)
I think I almost forgot how to get angry ...
Everytime when I'm about to get angry, I will think who am I to judge others and why should I be angry when I myself make mistakes as well. Sometimes I will also think 'What if this is the last moment of life I get to see this person and yet I spent it getting angry and souring the relationship with this person?'
And because of not getting angry and stating my 'opinion' in a firm manner ... many may feel or see me as a person with no 'stand' ...
but let me share with you, I have my 'stand' ... it may differ and it may be the same as others ... but I do not see the point of getting angry just for the sake of winning the argument. Sometimes the one that wins the argument loses all.
I do know of people who get angry at the slightest things .... and these people are the one suffering themselves in the end. We do not need to suppress all our anger all the time ... but do not let it consume us and the people around us.
You may want to try not getting angry for a week .... a month ... a quarter
you'll feel different ... as though the world is suddenly so much more a nicer place to be in (no kidding =)

that's where I discovered ..
Popular Warehouse Sales at Summit USJ
that's where I discovered my motherly instinct kicking in.
I don't know much Chinese words yet I struggled to read and understand each book I lay my hand on ... mostly children book.
Being a bad storyteller, I'm afraid I'll run out of bedtime stories to tell my children in future.
Thus, I'm preparing myself with stories to entertain my tiny tots =D plus the challenge of reading the stories in Chinese (with hanyu pinyin) hehe ^^!
I was very happy as there were VERY GREAT deals at the Popular Warehouse Sales ... imagine books like these going for RM1 to less than RM5 except for the set which costs RM24.90 with 2 hardcover 150 pages book and a story telling VCD.
Sometimes cheap stuffs can be precious gems too =D (to me at least)

on my office desk top
at a place where I spend around 8 hours or more per day .... I couldn't survive without colours (and motivation) ....
so this was what I have on my desk top (literally) for the past few weeks...
among them :
1. 2 kiddies apples .... one for my morning break .... one for tea break =D

2. 2 little elephants .... which I got from Bangkok Cathucak Market. I bought a packet for souvenirs for colleagues but 'kidnapped' these 2 for myself =p hehe
3. this pack of colourful paper clips which I got from Tesco for RM2 ... there were more colours actually but distributed some to my colleagues to add colours to their desk top (not that their desk top is dull but I just want to see more colours around) ... =p
If you noticed the little dictionary in the background ... I got it there with the intention to learn chinese but with the amount of work we have, I hardly have time to touch it what more read it.
4. Last but not least, a smiley on my eraser to remind me that every day should be a happy day...erase those worries away =)
I do have many plants on my desk top (currently 5 plants).... reason being, I thrive with them around and I love to see them grow =) Sometimes I don't blame people or bosses wondering whether I'm productively working or managing my plants =p I just play the song 'My Way'

dumplings
Dumpling ... one of my all-time favourite food ... especially those with 'mei tao' and 'fung lut' =D DELICIOUS ... it's time of the year again for dumping festival. Thank you very much for the dumplings.
potpouri of precious colleagues
to soothe ourselves before the re-structuring, we treated ourselves to foods & more foods and most importantly companionship.
this group of colleagues is easily one of the best group of colleagues in my working life so far ... the most fun & comfortable to be with, least judgemental & the least pretentious lot. All are very nice & humble people.
Eating, having fun & pouring our hearts' contents over dinner at Chilli's
drunk from having too many glasses of bottomless fruit juices =p
taken after a pot luck sumptous lunch (from right : Chua - spaghetti 'liu', June -longan laici agar agar, Lynn - spaghetti, Lily - herbal eggs, me, Yong - lots & lots of fruits, Siew Choo (vegetarian mee hoon & burger, Ya Li - helps with everything)

in the almost 2 months ...
Wishbone has been with us for almost 2 months =) We do get questions like how old is she .... which we do not actually know ... for she was abandoned and rescued and adopted.
Perhaps wishbone is about 3-4 months old.
This weekend we'll bring her for 2nd vaccination ... which we do not know how the much stronger wishbone will react. She's afraid of injections =p hehe
Her 1st vaccination experience was special (to me at least) because never before I experienced such a little helpless creature clinging so dearly to me ... the emotion was very real.
some random pics of wishbone with her antics =D
wishbone with jie jie slippers which has ever since became her chewing toy
biased wishbone with kor kor slippers which she never dare to touch at all what more bite
Comot wishbone after burying his precious bone in the garden =D
Eager wishbone when she sees you bringing her food

This dog is really like her owner .... can sleep anywhere anytime anyhow =D

I'm crazy about corn ... natural corn / corn in cup / corn in can .... everything also I sapu (just like wishbone) =DMonday, May 18, 2009
I'm already half way through =)
I'm happy I'm already half way through ... if you asked me about the little sacrifices (maybe they are not even sacrifices) ... I feel sweet and I think they are for good if not better.
Initially I thought I had lose out on many things but then slowly & slowly I realised I was gaining so much more in return (yah, and that include weight as well ... hehe =p)
Also I thought I didn't get to enjoy the type of life others are enjoying ...carefree and full of excitement but I was so wrong as I'm enjoying my life now more than ever.
This could easily be one of the best part of my life...
if I were to choose again, I think I would still have chosen this same old path.
I love life ... I love lives ...

don't worry be happy =D
Currently, there are some restructuring at the organisation I work in. Everyone (well almost everyone is in a turmoil of emotions and miserabilities (newly coined by Su)
I too was initially one of them .... until I woke up one morning
I've reached the stage whereby people say "too many types of feelings / emotions until cannot feel anymore"
Essentially,
what's there to be worried about? life still goes on for me and my loved ones
I've better things to worry about than things which is beyond my control.
sometimes we spend too much time worrying and speculating till we don't know what's true and what's now ..... that we forgot what was the important thing to worry about.
life wouldn't be life if there's no worries
just don't let worry consume us ... it's just not worth it.
