i noticed that i can eat the same thing everyday without getting bored of it.

i can eat the same sandwich every single day... ham sandwich.

i remember eating instant noodle every day. either during tea time or for supper. i just HAVE to have it.

i can eat the same dish every day.. this usually happens during Chinese New year. you know the dish where there dump all the leftover meat like duck, siew yoke and chicken, into a big pot with "kai choy" (i don't know what they call it in english) with dried chili & asam soup.. you know that dish? sour and spicy soup. yum! it's very delicious especially after 2-3 days you keep adding more leftover meat in it.. i can eat that, and ONLY that, with rice. every single day if possible.

is it just me or everyone else is like that too?

but then again..

i also noticed that after a period of time i eat the same thing every single day, i will switch to another type of food and eat it every single day again for another few weeks or months.

does this reflect my personality when it comes to friendship & relationship as well?
i think it does..

i can see the SAME friend every day.. hang out at the SAME place every time and talk about the SAME thing too.. of course.. without getting bored at all.

i can see Smelly EVERY SINGLE DAY and still feel like it's only the first time we hold hands. well, the good thing is, i have not get bored with Smelly.. not yet. (will i ever?)

every time i discovered something different, i'll be hooked for a very LONG period of time before switching it to something else again. and i can also always go back to it any time i want, forgetting that i've once got bored with it, with a whole new feeling.

just like the feeling i have for instant noodles lately.

i used to eat curry flavor and got bored with it and switch to chicken flavor. i remember the times when i rather not eat because only curry flavor left at home. i banned curry flavor. i think because i ate at mamak and it tasted like noodles with water.. but lately, i fell in love with curry flavor again.. i've been craving for curry flavor instant noodles for days now..

where's my curry flavor? Maggi Mee?

Smelly, will you approve this?? please...

OMG!!..

MAS is having this low fare thingy again..

i just checked.

to Bangkok is only RM325 for return tix!

and to Hong Kong is only RM659!

this is sooo tempting!!!!!


rates above is for travelling in May 2009..

since my probation only end in April, i can only plan for holidays after that. and what a coincidence.. May happen to be my birth month!

a birthday treat for myself maybe?

this time, must go during weekend!! MUST MUST MUST go Chatuchak..

hehe..

oh.. and i've also checked the Baiyoke Boutique Hotel , it's only like THB 6500 for 4 nights including breakfast for 2.. should be around RM 670.. around RM170/night. i think it's quite reasonable la.. since it's at the centre of the city and has really nice room.. (no, i'm not going to the Baiyoke Sky Hotel.. very expensive! Boutique Hotel is the lower range of Baiyoke hotels..) and it's just located at the warehouse place.. imagine.. after breakfast, take a shower, get ready and start your day with shopping.. which is only few steps away from your hotel.. and you can put your buys back to the room and continue shopping if you got tired of holding too many shopping bags! whoa!! so nice right..

and Chatuchak... i missed it cos i went there during weekdays few months ago... (also in May!) i can't wait for my next trip!!!

how how?

can i get the tickets and book the room already?

please?



(anyone wants to be my travel partner if Smelly don't want to go with me? hmmmm..)

too early for new year's resolution?

i'm planning to go for gym next month.

i already have a plan..

let's see..

breakfast - home made sandwich (tuna/ham/egg) or cereal with milk *note to self-stock up cereal*. except weekends and public holidays. because by the time i wake up, it's already lunch time. normally i'll eat noodles or porridge..

lunch - as usual, the company's canteen. they usually serve rice and noodles with a variety of dishes to go with.. like chicken, fish, chicken, fish, chick.... a lot of vege too. half the portion of rice or noodle i usually take. (eh.. i'm serious about this diet healthy lfestyle thing ok?). maybe i'll go out for lunch once in a while with friends... and have like.. fast food? hehe.

dinner - depends on what Smelly's mom cook. but i usually only take 2-3 tablespoonful of rice. and a lot of vege also. sometimes we eat out. so i guess eating out is a bonus/rest day for me.. so from next month onwards, no more rice for dinner. strictly no carb for dinner. only lots of protein and fiber. (i'll try to follow this dinner menu..) must follow!

so, i'm planning to go to the gym every monday, wednesday and friday. since it's free for staffs, might as well make full use of it right? i heard that it's really underutilized. and i heard from one of my colleagues who visits the gym religiously, said that not more than ten people every evening. and she sees the same person every time.

so i thought.. why not?

ok.. i think i need to get running shoes and exercise attire..

*pledge to self* follow the routine and menu strictly.

let's see how many kilos i will gain shed before new year!

Lucky Charm?

look what came in my mail today!

i ordered it from Stephanie the other day..

it's carefully wrapped in those bubbles plastic.. *me love pressing on those bubbles*!

neatly wrapped in blue paperbag.. does the color look familiar to you? *cough*tiffany*

"handmade by stephanie"

ok la.. tiffany and stephanie rhymes right?? *i don't have the money to spend on a real tiffany though*cough*hint*

opened the wrapper and it's wrapped with another bubble plastic.

another "logo" there.

Stephanie's.

here's the bracelet.. it's called "White Clover"

i have a thing for four leaf clover ever since i got my first real four leaf clover pendant 3 years ago..

how it looks like on my wrist.


Stephanie's online shop sells 100% handmade accessories. bracelet, necklace, handphone charms, etc. she even custom make for people if she happen to have the materials that clients request..! i'm thinking of getting a full set of custom made accessories already.. hehe..

check out her shop now. you might find something you like!

(this is not a paid advertorial. sharing is caring right? winkz!)

camera camera..

which one?

Canon or Sony?

compact or DSLR? (of course... i'm thinking about something cheap and easy-to-use.. like EOS 5OD? cos i am camera-idiot.) *btw, can someone tell me what is "prosumer" ??*

i'm not very good when it comes to gadget.. i think the pro-est that i can get is to know how to use my iPod by heart (well almost la)..

i've been longing for a camera since like.. forever. i'd love to have a DSLR. but i think with my hangat-hangat tahi ayam nature, it'll take seconds (okay, i exaggerated.. maybe few months) for me to get bored and fed up with playing with it..

i do think that it takes a lot of effort and time to learn and explore photography and i certainly don't have the artistic genes.. (blame my parents.. they gave all the art genes to Shorty). i'm just afraid that after spending so much on a DLSR, i don't make full use of it ended up keeping it in the storage box.

actually, i just need a compact camera.. i'm eyeing on one of the Canon IXUS/Powershot or Sony Cyber-shot. i used to like Sony T series.. (obviously because of the sleek design).. but after a while, i think i prefer the W series... (cos the lense is not built-in.. i heard built-in lense's photo doesn't come out as great as those "un-built-in" ones.. [what do you call that? zoom-able lense? or just lense?] correct me if i'm wrong..)

i'm eyeing on one of these babies... tho i don't really know what's the difference.. but i think i like the design.. :P

Canon E1

Because it's cute and got white color..

Canon IXUS 90 IS

er.. because.. it looked more expensive than E1...

Sony W300

because i purposely want to compare Canon with Sony.. it's black and definitely handsome!

Sony T300

Because it's RED!!!!!!! and it comes with wide screen. nice.

but actually right.. i just need a compact camera that can make my photo come out like DSLR.

hohoho... i still salivate everytime i look at DSLR photos.. so real and so nice! no need photoshop...

seriously lor.. cos DSLR is very bulky.. i can't take it with me 24/7.. not to mention that it's expensive too.. though i know i can just top-up few hundred bucks and get the entry level DSLR.. but like i said earlier, i tend to get bored easily and no art genes at all.. so i don't want to waste money.. (i'm considering on learning photography from friends though).

so.. any suggestion on good compact camera that will turn my photo into DSLR effect (without photoshopping la)?

i don't want to grow old.

i went for a drink with best friend just now..

bff : so... when are you giving me the BIG BOMB? (wedding invitation lah)

dy : not so soon la.. i won't get married so young... what makes you think that i'll marry him?

bff : i know la.. must be him..

dy : who knows.. maybe my husband is another guy.

bff : don't joke la.. you won't break up with him now.. cos you're lazy to find another one. you won't get used to it geh.. like my situation also.. if you ask me to break up and find another girl, i rather don't break up. unless of course, if got another girl that i'm interested in and so happen if she like me too lah.. =P

dy: -_-


does this mean that it's not about love anymore? it sounds more like companionship and habit to me...

is this good or bad? or does every long-time/married couple face the same issue/situation too?

halloween party.

going for halloween party this Friday at Rahsia. Seng Tat invited me early last month i think.. and it's kinda like a private party if i'm not mistaken. he said we have to dress in halloween costume..

because Smelly don't normally go parties with me (due to his age catching up), i invited Tockie to become my date for the night.. lucky me, he's free that night cos he will be attending another party only on saturday..

i hope that he will be able to make it this time cos he ALWAYS had something coming up EVERYTIME we're supposed to meet up.

i'm totally gonna ban him if he ffk me again this time.. No.. better ask him to treat me for fine dining next time he ffk.

hahaha...

who wants to go to halloween party with me this friday?

Back From Book Shopping!

Alice told me yesterday that she bought 25 books!

i was very thrilled and couldn't wait to go for the MPH warehouse sales today.. it's the last day today so i think there aren't many books left for me to choose.

here's what i bought.

The Life of Mahatma Gandhi - Louis Fischer

The Diary Of A Young Girl -Anne Frank

Marley And Me - John Grogan

'Tis - Frank McCourt

How Starbucks Saved My Life - Michael Gill

The Secret Of Scent - Luca Turin

If You Could See Me Now - Cecila Ahern

To Kill A Mocking Bird - Harper Lee

Specials -Scott Westerfeld

Extra -Scott Westerfeld

Stories We Could Tell - Tony Parsons

Man And Wife - Tony Parsons

My Favourite Wife - Tony Parson

Breaking Dawn & New Moon - Stephanie Meyer.

I wanted to get Stephanie Meyer's "Eclipse" and "Twilight" but the guy told me they had promotions days before and sold off everything.. too bad.

i also wanted to get the first 2 books by Scott Westerfeld - "Ugly" and "Pretty".

and i only noticed that i bought a wrong book while taking the book's photos just now!

initially, i wanted to get "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt.. i took the book and before i went to the cashier, i saw that the book is ot in a very good condition. so i went to the shelve and take a better one.. because the color of the book is almost the same, so i guess i took wrong one.. T_T i took 'Tis instead of Teacher Man!! which i already had in my collection..

i'm thinking about selling it off or giving it away.

:)

couldn't find "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards though... i wanted to get more books.. but couldn't find what i wanted so i ended up with only 15 books. the damage? RM308.00. which i think is kind of worth it la.. i think i saved at least a hundred bucks there. maybe more.

hope they have another sale soon!

i woke up early again. 6.30a.m. (before snoozing til 6.45a.m.. =P)



though actually i really tempted to snooze til 7.30a.m... but i never did cos i'm afraid that i'll oversleep and going late to work.



i remember i had a dream 2 days ago that i was very late to work. rush like fuck and was damn scared that i'll leave bad impression to boss. (eh.. have to jaga a bit la.. if not, how to grow better, right?) then i woke up and the clock showed 02:43. -_-! but lucky it was only a dream.



i don't know why lately i've been waking up a lot in the middle of the night. almost every day, i will sleep latest by 1a.m. (nowadays, i can even sleep at 8pm... but normally 10 or 11pm.) and i will wake up once at 2.30ish a.m, 3.45ish a.m and 5.45ish a.m. (see? it happens almost every day that i remember the time!).



i don't know why i will wake up... it's either from dreams or i wake up naturally. but normally i'll fall back asleep very fast. it's been like this for few months already. before i started my new job, i will usually snooze my alarm every 10 mins, for more than one hour, before waking up and go to work (this explains why i was almost always late to work whenever i drove). i always feel that i did not get enough sleep so i sleep in most of the time.. and be late to work. =P but after a while, i started to carpool with a colleague and he will wake me up 20-30 mins before he come over. so i HAD to get ready before he reaches my place at 8.3oa.m.



and now, i have to reach office at 8.30a.m. no more less snoozing time. =P



why am i writing this down?



because to me, it's really an achievement weh!! though for some, waking up early and go to work earlier/on time is nothing unusual. but for ME/WO/SAYA/WATASHI/NGOR (wtf!!) it's achievement of the year! wtf!)

his best friend.

we went out for dinner at mamak yesterday cos his friends are joining us for yamcha.. i order yee meen next door tho. regretted cos it's not yummy at all.

we went back at around 12a.m. so Smelly drove his car my car our car (wtf??!) the kenari (that belongs to him but i'm driving. wtf. so is that my car or his car? his driving a car that belongs to me.. so who is the car owner? wtf.. so complicated.) nvm. i shall state the kenari as my car from now on.

so he's driving about 300 metres away from the mamak...


me: BIE!!! yer!!!! YERRR!!!!! you see... YERRR!!! *pointing at the middle of the dashboard.

Smelly: what? what?

me: stop the car!! faster stop the car!!!! *unfasten seatbelt,unlock the door in split second*

Smelly: HAHAHA!!!!!

me: faster stop the car... don't move!! don't move.. *open the car door, jumped out 2 feets away from the car*

Smelly cupped his hand on the dashboard, struggled a bit with it and threw it away.

yes. it's his best friend, mr. lizard. there was a baby lizard in my car! MY CAR. LIZARD. IN. MY. CAR!!!!

how can that thing went inside my car??!? i was damn sceptic and keep on asking him "did you really threw it or you're just making a gesture of throwing??" "what if the lizard's mommy still inside the car??" *SWEAT*

smelly: good la.. let's catch a baby lizard and make it as a pet.. i'll put it in a clear box for you to see clearly... and you can feed it too....! ok??

me: -_-! go away!

UGH!!!

damn geli lor!!! some more the baby lizard can nicely & slowly walk across the dashboard and made a pit stop there right in the middle.. wtf????!!! fashion show meh? luckily it wasn't coming to my direction lor.. luckily it was going towards the driver side..

on the way home, i felt like they are more lizards in the car and keep on brushing my legs. yerrr... thinking of this made my neckhair stands.

i think it came through the window when i parked my car beside neighbour's tree/plant, which is as tall as my car, and i kept the window opened an inch so that the window and mirror won't get fogged the next morning when i drive to work.

wtf.. i think i should stop doing that.

windows will be closed ALL THE TIME when parked.

i started to feel good about waking up earlier in the morning for work.



yes. you read it right.



i'm definitely not a morning person. but then these few days i've been waking up earlier than usual, (actually half an hour earlier only...), i made breakfast for myself and Smelly to bring to work before going off. i think one of the reason i felt good is because i skipped the terrible traffic jam. i saved at least half an hour on the road.



i reach office and i have time to have breakfast and time to see my boss to update him and just catch up.. (he's very busy during working hour due to meetings..).



sometimes, i'd go home on time. but most of the time, i'll stay til 7pm just to check if there's anything urgent to do after boss' meeting. and by going home later, i'll skip the evening jam. another half an hour saved.



i'm feeling good about this kind of routine.



though sometimes i'd miss those days when discipline almost lose it's place in my dictionary.



right here, right now, i felt more disciplined. also most importantly, i felt healthier.. well, mentally.

Today's breakfast: Cooked Ham & Cheese Triple Sandwich



Ingredients (per serving) :

3 slices of Gardenia Breakthru Bread (or any type/brand of your choice)

Butter

Mayonaise

1 fresh tomato (sliced)

1 slice of cooked ham

1 slice of cheese (i used Kraft Singles)



Methods:

1. Butter the breads.

2. Place the cooked ham on top of the buttered bread. Fold the ham if it's too big for the bread.

3. Spread mayonaise on the ham and cover with a slice of bread.

4. Place slices of tomatoes on it. (i put 3 slices cos the bread is small).

5. Put the cheese on top of the tomato and slap it with the last piece of bread.





easy right? (sorry if you can't understand the instruction cos it's the first time i write a recipe.) and i usually prefer making simple and easy meal.. which reminds me that i still have a post to finish writing : potluck party.. i made spaghetti and steak.



you can make it for your breakfast too! you can add lettuce, cucumber or any vege of your choice. i use tomato cos i like la.... can use so many different types of ham too!! hehe.. oh.. you can heat it with microwave to melt the cheese.. and if you have toaster at home, you can toast it too! but i like it chilled and un-toasted.



but then i know sure you've tried making or eating this sandwich before.. =P



stay tuned for tomorrow's recipe! hehe..

part 1
part 2

I know it's still early to make a Christmas wishlist.. but since i'm so free now, might as well do it now. :P

i remember writing a wishlist 2 years back and i received a similar gift from Shorty *ahem*hint*ahem*!

since i did not receive any gift for last year and this year's birthday, valentine's day, Christmas and anniversary *AHEM*HINT*AHEM* i think i should come out with a Christmas wishlist huh? (ok lah.. i still remember you gave me cash for my bday this year.. BUT it's different ok..)

let's start with...

- A PHONE.

why? because mine is spoilt and currently using a spare phone which i think will face the same fate as my previous phone anytime soon..

- A WALLET.

why? because i need a proper wallet.. i'm getting bored with the one i'm using now... the one i'm using now is like... very kiddy... =)

- A LAPTOP.

why? because i don't have one and i need it la.. plus, i'm really sick of waiting turns to use the desktop. i need my own space too weh...

- this silver strap for my watch.

i have the exact watch but it's leather currently.. so imagine how dirty it can get.. (see? i'm not greedy.. i wished for strap. not watch! but if got a new watch also can la... *evil grin*)

- Bookstore vouchers? hehe..

- ALL EXPENSE PAID trip to...

NEW YORK! because i miss mommy..

JAPAN! because i like la.. because i can speak my broken Japanese with them.. wtf!

HONG KONG.... because.. don't say lah! i think it won't happen.. (refer to this.)

- a bag for work.

Jimmy Choo

Balenciaga

Balenciaga

because the current one has a tiny lil hole inside.

why 3? because i can't decide which one i like the most.. wtf.. but i think i like Jimmy Choo's the most...

- This...

Maybeline Lash Stylist mascara. I want waterproof geh...(if not mistaken, they have it in US, Aussie, UK and some other places BUT NOT Malaysia!!! -.- )

i think that's all i can think of for now...

hint: anyone who wants to get any of the item above for me, no need to look for it so hard.. i already gave out the brand's name!! LOL!! (wtf, so materialistic... tsk tsk... ok lah... similar also can lah...)

oh... i read back my old wishlist and noticed that some of it came true... like..

- that white pointed heels. (which i think i got for myself)

- that dress. (Shorty got me a similar top...which i still wear until now)

- that pet dog (i didn't name him Chuzzie tho..)

and i noticed that i have not get myself a new wallet since 2006. -.- and also that Adidas shoe!! i've been searching for 2 years and still no sight of it. sigh!

note to self: must get a new wallet soon!

it's nice hearing your voice everytime we talk over the phone.

so comforting.

it felt like yesterday never ended.

where to find a boyfriend like mine?

i have a habit of buying shoes at least once a month.. cos most of my shoes doesn't last me more than 3 months, except for slippers and sneakers.. you know lah, nowadays shoes that i can afford is not high quality ones.. i tend to always break my sandals and heels within 2 months.. i think it's because of the low quality.. but then i've bought shoes that are slightly more expensive than it worth for the brand and still, the shoe will somehow spoil. it's either me or the brand has got very low quality material and cheat people.. bluek!

so i went to shop for shoes with Smelly couple of weeks back.. he don't really encourage me to spend so much on shoes cos they tend to break easily but he cannot do anything about it la.. those kind of misfortune cannot be saved..

so i decided to get a pump heels i tried and ask for his opinion..


smelly: anything la.. you will break it anyway.

dy: what wor.. cheap shoes is like that ge la.... not that i intend to break it.. unless you get me a Jimmy Choo and it still break, then i got nothing to say..

smelly: i think give you Jimmy Choo or other branded one also will break lor...

dy: why leh...?

smelly: because you're too heavy. the shoe cannot support your weight.

dy: =.=

Annual Trip - Cameron Highlands

So finally i have time to post some of the photos from the Cameron Highlands trip last month. it's kinda like an annual thingy la.. whereby we will choose a destination for short 2-3 days trip anywhere in Malaysia. this year, we all agreed to Cameron Highlands again (we went last year too). one of our friend's company owns a bangalow there and it's really cheap to stay since we don't have to pay for the rent.. we only pay for the meals which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. there is a care taker there to clean and cook for us. so during our stay there, i felt like a queen... wake up in the morning, breakfast already served. then watch tv or play games and lunch is served... then another leisure time and dinner is served...

no need to do anything. so relax. that was the purpose of the annual trip..

just some photos not in order.. lazy to drag..



first night. after dinner and nice long hot shower.



the next morning. photo session... actually we're really reading.. (LOL!!!! believe or not? hehehe.)



first night. steamboat. all thumbs up for the food.. vege were very fresh.



second day. still morning. we played boxing on Wii. guess who won?? (of course me lah!! 3 rounds non stop winning! now who wants to challenge me??



second night after dinner. it was BBQ. yea.. i know u must be thinking... why i wear the same attire from night one until night two.. because it's cold that we don't have to shower.. gah!!!!!!! hahaha!! actually it's because i slept the whole day on day two and woke up already dinner.. BBQ smoke very smelly ma.. i don't want to shower so many times. (Bleh! lazy!)



this is actually day 2 morning..


oh... before i forgot.. "Congrats Joyce!! you will be mommy soon!!" i'm so excited when i knew that Joyce (in black jacket) is pregnant.. it's like... of everyone in the group, can say she'll be the first.. so happy to hear that..

Note: Joyce is Smelly's bestfriend's wife.
Note 2: Everyone in the trip is actually Smelly's friend and the girls are all "Ah Sou".. including me.



told you photo not in order...



girls in action. seriously, i think i should get a Wii too... after 3 rounds of boxing, my arms muscle hurts for few days. it really helps for those who are lazy to exercise..



Good hair day... this is first night.



gah!! i know you can tell it's heavily Photoshopped.. bluek!!! seriously, i just want to show how good my hair was...



last day... we don't feel like going home...


i saw a moth on the wall in the morning of our departure... it's very nice actually... only my camera not nice..

will post the rest of the photos when i'm free..

the pot of gold.

It’s been more than a year I’ve been away from the corporate-style office, which is to require me to be at work on time. I’ve been going to work well, not very on time I’d say, for the past year. But hey, it doesn’t mean that I’m lazy.. It’s just that, it’s kind of a culture in the previous office. People come to work not on time, but they work more than 10 hours a day. Some even go back home after midnight. So it’s natural not to be at work on time. But then, it’s also because the company is not a corporate company. It’s because the company is just a small and comfortable one.

So anyway, I’ve finally had the courage to step out and learn something new. Well, not exactly new la.. but more to change of environment and also to challenge myself in a different industry. It was kinda difficult for me to leave everything and everyone behind. Especially Sam. He’s the first boss that treated his subordinate like friends. And I treated him like my older brother cos he’s very young too. Only 6 years older than me. Perhaps that’s why I felt happy working there at the first place. Even though the salary wasn’t as good as I got before, I felt happy and didn’t mind working there. Come to think about it, he hardly gives me any pressure during my service there. It’s very comfortable working with him (I can always walk in his room without even knocking and chat with him like a friend). Very informal and very easy.. I wonder if I have any chance to have a boss like him again..

The next thing that I missed most is the colleague there. Even though sometimes when we’re busy with work, especially during events, and sometimes there will be some misunderstanding and disagreements, everyone were very close. It’s like a small family growing in the company. We talk, we laugh, we got angry, we scolded each other, and we made up, we’re just like a family. A typical one.

It’s kinda sad knowing that I had to leave but seriously, if it wasn’t about the company’s restructuring plan that went terribly wrong and stupid (my opinion lah), I wouldn’t have resigned. But then.. oh well… let’s just make that a history.

Being in a new company, a different industry, a new boss, whole new colleagues and different environment kind of made me feel like it’s a new ME. It’s like I’m newborn. There’s so much to learn.. So many things to catch up and because this industry is new to me, there are so many emotions running in me now. I have a mixed up feeling the moment I got to know they accepted me in. I felt very happy but at the same time, scared. I was really nervous that I couldn’t really sleep well and had nightmares for almost two weeks. Yes… it really affects me. I don’t know what I’m going to face. I don’t know how my future boss will treat me. is he the kind who have a black face all day long? Will he scold me for something puny? Or will he treat me like my previous boss? Is he strict? Is he lenient? I don’t know..

I don’t know how my new colleagues will be. Will I mix with the wrong crowd? Will there be any crowd? How will they think of me? Will they think that I’m a bad girl by judging my looks?

I’m so nervous yet very excited at the same time. Can I wake up on time every morning? Will I be late to work? I can’t afford to go late to work… must be disciplined. It’s unlike my previous company where latecomers aren’t warned at all..

So.. the first day of work….

Miraculously, I managed to drag my lazy ass and heavy body up and finally forced myself to open my eyes and face the reality – which is to wake up early to work like almost everyone else. I find it quite challenging to wake up early in the morning, as I’m really actually very superbly definitely NOT a morning person at all. But I managed to be at the office 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time (praise self).

I went to HR dept to get my tags and do some quick introductions of some of the policies and stuffs and went to my workstation. My boss was in a meeting and the CEO’s PA, Carmen, showed me around the building. Which is quite a number of floors we need to go (regretted wearing high heels— hurt and blistered like hell now). Got to know some important people that I will liaise with in the future, which are secretaries, head of divisions and some other people that I will work very closely with. To be honest, I can’t really remember who is who yet and I totally forgot their names right now but I will definitely try my best to remember who is who and what is what.

Well, I can’t judge my boss now cos it’s only one day and so far I think he’s okay. But I got to know from Carmen that he’s a very morning person! He reaches the office around 7-8 every morning… -_-!

So this week is more like a 'getting-used-to' period.. hopefully everything will be fine la. Oh.. Have I mentioned that lunch is provided too?? Hehehe… this way, I can save up for my Hong Kong trip!

Yesterday was a very nervous and blur day.. to be honest, I felt very scared because I really don’t know what’s ahead of me. I felt lifeless. I felt dull. But then just before I went home yesterday, I went in my boss room and I saw a full rainbow. Yes… FULL RAINBOW in KL.. and it instantly lighten up my mood. I instantly felt much better and funny though… the rainbow is like a hope. A very good one..

Perhaps God wants me to know that there are still hopes and the world is still colorful.

Perhaps there are really pots of gold at the end of the rainbow… :)
