To-do list

1. Buy a pair of new sneakers. DONE.
2. Brow wax.
3. Send out Erin's gifts.
4. Sort out yes & no clothes, and donate the nos. Doing the de-clustering.
5. Get REALLY organized at work.
6. Get new action book for work. DONE.
7. Save up for an island trip. (I owe it to me)
8. Save up for an Aussie trip. (I just found free lodging, HA!)
9. Save up for a Japan trip. (Hmmm....)
10. Apply the 90-days rule in everything I do. (Totally crossing fingers)

7, 8, & 9 -- that means NO MORE starbucks for me? Oh no~ well, guess I could cheat a little. Doing very poorly with no Starbucks, in fact, Starbucks every freakin day!

Learn something about 'the power of public declaration'. Somethings that you've been wanting/trying to do (great example would be losing weight or quit smoking), once you've put it out there, you are obligated to stick to your goals. Coz you got everyone's eyes on ya, kinda hard to back out anymore right?

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Was saying this to my baby sister the other night: I don't cheat, but I lie. I am not lying, I just don't tell the truth. LMAO. I know I cracked myself up. It almost doesn't make sense.

Let's make it to Pulau Redang


Let's make that my next destination. Rare moments of me being proud to be Malaysian... is when I think about P. Redang (also when I lay my eyes on Petronas Twin Towers, e-ve-ry-day, and when I'm sippin on Teh Tarik). Heard so much about it, yet haven't step foot on it. Last year, I made it to Lang Tengah, life undersea is amazing there. P. Redang isn't as good, so I've heard. But how can I not fall in love with it when the stretches of beach there is beautiful. So is the ocean. Dude, I'm so set on going there this year, sometime in May maybe =)

Got distracted by fb. Dude...

I shall leave you with this photo to ponder upon...

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...
