People do change

for better or for worse? I am not here to judge.

I am changing...

Like I used to not like having make-up on. I remember back when my friends would get all dolled up in sexy outfits and make-up before we hit the clubs. They tried many many times to convince me to put on gook and gunk on my face. I wasn't able to accept the made up look. I was complaining about the eye shadow being too outrageous, I would also complain about how bad make-up is for my skin, blah blah blah. I was adamant about the au naturel look. I didn't get into make-up til two years ago. and NOW I'm addicted! It is amazing what it can do. Let's not start with the freckles on my cheeks due to sun damaged, something I did when I was young and stoopid. lol. I still love tanning but I'll do it with loads of sunblock, I even started using sunscreen on my face daily. ;) Yea, make-up evens your skin complexion and hide things you don't want ppl to see. Heheheh. It can also make your eyes looks bigger with tricks (my chinese eyes need help). Tons you could do on your face and neck too, for some. I love it!!!!! Shout out to Benefit (girly fun), MAC (like Coach for bags) and Stage (new found love).

The thought of changing... came to me when I heard this lovely song 'Need You Now' on the radio couple of nights ago. It is freakin country. I hope my taste bud isn't slowly changing, it's that scary. Coz I don't like country songs, though I have a song or two that I've collected years ago on my playlist. A good friend of mine introduced me to country songs, even dragged me to country club. Good ol' days. =) My point is, I can't believe I'm finding myself adapting to country songs. If you are not a fan of country music, try listening to the video. Song is pretty good, the video... only so so.

This photo signifies the energy and the spirit of (me) patiently waiting for the arrival of Chinese New Year. Again, I was not a big fan of Chinese New Year. Somehow this year is very special, I actually can't wait for it to be here! I took the initiative to decorate the facade of our house for CNY with the help from Heay, mei & di. One of the reasons for my excitement could came from the fact that I can take long vacation without feeling an ounce of guilty-ness. How neat is that. We shall see how interesting this coming CNY would be. And don't forget about me attending a reunion... This is me doing new/strange/different-things galore.

And here is Need You Now.

Inspired by a New Year letter

I keep in touch with my Nutrition Education prof. In the long letter that she wrote for New Year (updating ppl who knows her), there was one line, and I quote "I’m still trying to figure what I want to be when I ‘grow up.’" Guess how old she is now? Guess Guess Guess... =) She's 67! Yea 67 saying she's still trying to figure what she wants to be when she "grows up". Her passion towards life and what she does is Amazing. Why and who are we to sit here and complain about life and work? We should live our lives like her!

Ah I wish you guys could be reading her letter, each and every words of hers is an inspiration. She's the professor who allows us to correct our work and resubmit numerous times, because she wants to see improvement in us. Who else would take such trouble to read our work over and over and over and over again??? She's the teacher who truly cares. She's the teacher who teaches, leads, guides and inspires...

I've spoken before about we only have a hand full of ten years to live. I am passionate about living life, but through her, I know I can dream more and do more because at 67 she still dreams. At 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, just imagine the potentials that we ALL have!

French Onion Soup from TGI. ok ok lah. The one from Applebees is WAY better.

My favorite Tau Fu Fa in town, can be found at Food Republic @ Pavilion.

What they call Nasi Paprik. Looks yummy doen it?

I have a goal

for the new year.

That is to make new friends. I think my life will appreciate that, I might not know it yet, but my life does. ;) I've took one of the many first steps, I have RSVPed to a primary school Chinese New Year reunion. Oh how's that making new friends? One way to look at it, I was never close to them, I wasn't able to connect with them. I think they totally qualify as strangers. Hence, by meeting up with them in february, that counts as making new friends! =D Brilliant right?

Goal's goal. There bound to be obstacles. Mine is pretty interesting. When I first met someone, I am friendly, kind and helpful as hell. and so they got close to me and like being my friend. But, the closer they are to me, I feel the need to put on some friends repellent. I feel annoyed (by the "stickiness"). I feel drowned in all the need of attention (yuck). I had enough of people needing my attention at work, I don't I don't know why but it is just it. hmmm.... maybe that's why I don't have a lot of friends. and it could very well be one of the reasons why I'm not in a relationship. I am trying to change that to accommodate my goal. I want to see some changes in me, the good kine of course.

If you are one of the few ones who wonders what's up with my picture? The construction in progress is the Hyatt Hotel. In the near future there will be a grand looking tall building in sight, and there will be one less spot in KL skyline...

You bet Imma blog about it

I stupidly left my phone at an atm and lost it.

Yeap. I left my brain at home... I have never lost a phone or anything physical in my life!

Really really sad right now. Can I afford a brand new phone right now? :(

*sob sob* Im so so so so sad. Like no tears kind of sadness yo.

R.I.P. meeiphone.

Only 355 days left in 2010

Thank you so much for today! You guys made today be the best day of my week =) I will always be grateful for having you you you in my life...

I had a great today, in comparison to what I had gone through all this week (which I will spare you the details here). Today was also a treat for me, celebrating my birthday (belated kine). But before I get to claim my treat, I had to haul my ass back down to office for a couple of hours. Hahaha. After that, I head straight home, showered, put on some fresh clothes and makeup and I was out the door, listening to all the latest hits on our local radio station. Oh yea. Suddenly, this very soul-full voice came on. For the life of me, I can't remember where and when I heard that voice before. (To find out the voice belongs to Diane Birch)

Basically I spent my sunday in SS15, good times with the girls. Talkin bout how huge changes are gon happen in the next ten years of our lives. Which is true, the place we were sippin on coffee and tea was a "restaurant" with food stalls ten years ago, talk about change! The dude I went for my hair cut ten years ago now owns his shop with 4 helpers when he only had 1 then, talk about advancement! In this next ten years, we're gon be married, have children, we joke about recycling baby clothes (since it is cheaper and healthier), talk about insane-ness of all those thoughts.

Some ppl have experienced wifehood and motherhood in their 20's, more power to you! But I'm glad I didn't. Sorta like I don't wanna rush into the ending of this chapter of being in my 20's. I like flipping and reading through every single page before I get to THE END. :) All that being said, I still got 3 years left til I hit 30... Hahaha.

When you put your life into chunks of tens, we don't actually have a whole lot of ten years!!! Yea? My 30's is hearing my foot steps. ;) I gotta plan the however many tens I have left best I could. Hmmm....

p.s. I stop doing new year's resolution. But there is one thing I really wanna do this year is to make new friends.
