It's gonna be a month I think, since I last updated here. I just read back the last post, and just remembered that I mentioned about updating often, now that I have the iPad and it is more convenient for me to update this little space of mine. Looks like I am undetermined afterall. But anyhow, I am still thankful that I have it. Cause I can now jus spill out my heart and soul in this little space of mine, while watching drama. Sometimes I jus need to share my thoughts instantly when it crosses my mind, when it is still fresh and when I am still filled with emotions. It is the best time to write, don't you think? But then, I just can't spill out now, cause I think that it's best to keep to myself. I but I can still summarize my current emotion. All I can say is that, sometimes you gotta believe that there is something called fate or fated. When you are fated with a good life, you sure are lucky. You have people to respect you, listen to you, care about you and of course like you. But if you have a face which everyone thinks that you are not meant to be loved or respected, erm I guess you shall just be stuck alone forever. I don't know, I am just blabbing. I should stop already. This is nite interesting. Kthxbye.

Happy 2012

Happy 2012 everyone. Wishing everyone good luck, good health and good wealth. Hope that everyone will have a harmoious and a memorable year. But these wishes are not only for 2012, it's for lifetime. Everyone always pray for peace, good health and wealth. I don't usually make resolutions because I am just simply too lazy to think and later too undetermined to achieve it. But I think this year, I think I can have a resolution. Which is to seize the day and enjoy my life like there's no tomorrow. And since I am working now and starting to earn my own income, I have made it a point to begin traveling at least once in a year. Working is stressful, living is even harder. Therefore, everyone deserves a rest and a good present once in a while. And also, I have this greedy craving of getting myself a little present once a month. Be it big or small, cheap or expensive, just one thing I like a month. For the previous months, I had to save for my UK trip. When I came back in November,I didn't have much in mind so I saved quite a sum. But December was explosive, I used too much at one go but I think it was worth it and I totally deserve. I got myself an iPad 2. Since 2 months ago I kept asking myself if I should spend money on this, but every time I get too stressed up at work, being chased and scolded by clients also being stuck between the clients and the UK colleague, I just want to make myself feel better by owning something which I have been wanting. I earn my way to life, and that's how my mom have always trained us to be. Nothing goes easy in life and money doesn't just drop from the sky. If you want it, you have to got to work for it. Up to now, I still have not regretted buying it. People asked why do you want to buy an iPad instead of iPhone. Actually I don't really know. Maybe because my phone is still working and I don,t want to pay the extra cash every month for the data plan. I already have Internet excess at home which cost me an amount already, I don't think I need another bill at the moment. Plus my main purpose is to surf the net, playing games when bored, watching videos of course and YouTube, and reading free e-books. So a bigger screen is more convenient. Looks like I can't buy any more expensive stuffs for the next few months. Jan is cny, so there must be some money to be spent on gifts for my grands and mom. Feb is mom's birthday which only comes once in every 4 years. So it must be big and she is also retiring this year which makes it double celebration. What should the present be? I think we should get her something useful for traveling because she's gonna continue her dream of traveling around the world now that she has more freedom. Camera? Hmmm..Well anyway my reason of blogging here is to actually trying to blog using an iPad. Not bad actually but PC is always better. At least now I can just blog with a touch a way and any place which I can bring my iPad along, which almost any place. Hope this gives me a reason to update even more often? Neways, wish everyone a memorable 2012. Remember to seize the day, carpe diem and just live life the way you have always dreamed of. Life is short, just do it. Signing off now. Toddles!

Lifeless and Directionless

Working life is almost lifeless. Routine-like, boring, stressful and tired. Goes out by 8, get stuck in the jam, work work work, get stuck in the jam again and comes home by 8. OMGEEE... That's 12 hours already. 7 hours of sleep and 5 more hours doing I-don't-know-what. Everytime I come home from work, I just feel like doing nothing. There's so much which I need to do. Like tidy my room, update blog, learn new language, start a hobby, re-arrange my clothes, ironing, upload my UK pictures.. But till now, none of these are being strike off my list. Because I'm just simply lazy and moodless to do so. Weekends are going to be different now. Don't know, just feel different. If I spend weekends in the city, it will be the usual window shopping and movie catching with darling. Nothing else special. I feel that life has been meaningless lately. And everything that has happened, I am not cherishing even a second of it. It's so mundane and I feel so lost. I don't have a direction, no aim and no purpose. I don't even know if I'm happy or content. I just wish that I can stay home and not need to go work like a routine. Probably work from home sort of thing and still generate good incomes. Good income, in my dictionary would have to be enough for necessities (house rental, car installment, good food, splurge on luxury shopping, vacation at least once/ twice a year, investments, bla..bla..bla...) Sounds too good to be true isn't it? Well, nahhh!!!! This will not happen. My life has always been strive hard to earn what you need.

Looks like it's time for me to shut up and bid tata. But before that, one song just suddenly came across my mind and I would like to share it here. I am the very oldies type. So, this song is quite old but I hope you will like it. Heaven Knows ~ Rick Price.

Thank you.

Bulletin Post: It's Been A While

I guess it's been almost 2 months, since I last posted anything here. A lot of things have happened in this short period. I started my very first permanent job, as an internal sales engineer. Nothing glamorous or professional cause it's just a job. I haven't really found my dreams yet, but even if I do know what my dreams are right now, it's probably not the best time for me to start with it. Ain't even sure if those dreams are gonna come true, but I just wish that someday it will. It needs alot of hard work, perseverance, faith and creativity. I've been trying to live those dreams, but I always kept them hanging.

How's work, if you ask me. It's been more than 2 months working now. I would like to express my appreciation to God, for giving me this good opportunity; Oliver Valves, my company, for welcoming me to be part of their family; Jarret and Chin Woei, my bosses for choosing me out of hundreds and gave me a chance to work for them; family and friends, for their never ending support and advice. This job may not be my dream job, it might not be a life changing job, but as a start, I would say that I have made all the right choices and I took the road less traveled by. I have good colleague/senior/boss who has so much patience in training me up. Hearing my friends' job experiences, I felt utterly lucky that I was treated well, so well indeed. He taught me everything which I'm suppose to know, had so much patience with me cause I know I'm not brilliant which is a fact and it's not something which I'm proud of. No one else apart from myself understands my limits and whatever feelings which I go through everyday. I don't mean to be funny or dumb but sometimes I really wished I didn't do what I did. Anyway, I'm happy working here at the moment and I have a friend who is now my colleague working with me. So, this is another lucky part and I still don't get monday blues. It's good, I suppose it is.

I graduated officially in these 2 months, September 11, 2011. Sorry, I won't be posting pictures here because of time constraint and I'm really tired from a day's job. So, facebook will be pretty convenient.

I received my very first significant salary, money which I had earned it with my own strength and ability. I remember feeling so excited when I saw my bank account, cause it never had so much money before. Yes, cause I'm poor. =) It was enough to feed myself, pay for the car, petrol and the list goes on. Was also thinking on how to treat my family to a nice meal using my very first pay. Was waiting for the right moment but I guess it never really came. Because, a family is not complete without everyone in it; a brother or a sister, a mom and of course, daddy. For the past 2 months, I've experienced many first times. First job, first pay, first convocation, but it wasn't complete because I went through all those first times, without an important someone who actually made me. No matter how many exciting first moments I had or will have in the future, nothing beats the fact that it's the first time I lost someone so close to me. September 3, 2011 marked another important date of my life, whereby my father chose to depart from us to be reunited with God again.

Living is difficult, adapting to new environments, dealing with different kind of people everyday, they are all tough. There's not a single day which I felt like life is so unfair, and felt like giving up, but then I thought again; there's no reason for me to be afraid anymore because I know that there's someone special watching over me, day and night. And

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me.

RIP, daddy. We will always love you and keep you dear in our hearts.

Faith is a belief. And when you have faith, anything can happen.

Living is hard, so why live?

I believe that living is hard, but I have faith that I will lead a good life.

Lately, I've been looking for inspirational quotes. It all started when I bought my very first Chicken Soup For the Soul(Just so happen they added quotes for every story). And I believe that there will be 2nd, 3rd...............infinity. I hope I will be able to start a collection for Chicken Soup For the Soul.

Working is not really making me tired. Just the waking up early in the mornings and driving are the ones which I'm tired of.

Still trying to cope and absorb things in lightning speed. Eventhough its not a big company and my job isn't glamorous, I'm very lucky to have a great mentor who is so patient eventhough I'm stupid. I really salute him. Thank you very much and thank you God for blessing me everyday. At work and on my way to and back from work a.k.a DRIVING.

Good nite and sweet dreams.

Fukuya

It's been a long time. Now I know why people stop blogging after starting a full time job. This is the first weekend which I'm enjoying after I started working. It has been a tiring week. Not just because of the job. It's hard to catch up with the company's product, system and all. Plus I have a bad memory and slow turn around. However, I'm more tired of waking up early and getting stuck in traffic jams. Plus, I HATE DRIVING. IT'S SO BORING.

Anyway, it was darling's birthday yesterday and I didn't prepare much. Not that I forgot but I didn't have much time. So I just treated him to a nice lunch. Since he loves japanese food, so I chose to go to Fukuya in KL(beside Levain Boulangerie Patisserie).

Address:

Jalan Delima
55100 Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan
03-2144-1022

I didn't get him present, cause I'm planning to get him something, which I won't tell it here, of course. :p It would have to wait, cos I'm on a tight budget now and need some time to sort things out. So ya. There's just food for now.

Birthday Boy

And Fat me (dunno why I look round lately)

Appetizers which were free I suppose cos they weren't in our menu.

Chawanmushi was awesome.

His main course, Eel and tempura with rice

I opted for sushi bento cos I dun reli felt like eating rice.

Hahaha

Look how pretty my bento set is and they were really delicious

Its miso soup

The seafood was fresh

Hot tea

Dessert and hot wet towel

Birthday boy eating his fruits

This is the restaurant(front entrance view)

They made it such a way that it looks like a modern design, exclusive Japanese home. They have private rooms also. If you come in a bigger group, you can get to dine in the private rooms. How convenient.

Overall, the service, ambience and food were excellent. Recommended to go back some time but not too often cause it's quite pricey. Dinner sets are more expensive than lunches. But I'm not very sure bout ala carte for I didn't quite go through the whole menu.

Well, that's all for this post. Quite lazy to write long long. =)

Happy birthday, dear. Many happy returns of the day.
