Yay! I finally bought my own series of Twilight books yesterday from Popular bookstore. I was reading my niece's copies previously and since now I have my own books, I can read the whole series all over again, and again and again till I get bored with it.
Meanwhile, I can't wait for New Moon to hit the cinema in Nov 2009.
Guess I'm gonna ignore someone once I start reading again. Sorry honey...... :P
I am so in love with da Vamps!!! I think the fever will not go away so soon.... hahaha

Happiness is a CHOICE
Well, many people will argue back that it is easier said than done but believe me, it is achievable.
Everyone has their ups & downs in life, so am I. I have been through quite a lot in my coming to 33 years of life. Of course I have nothing to be compared to the life my grandparents or my parents lived, and I certainly can't compare myself to the slump dogs or those super rich people like Oprah Winfrey. Nevertheless, I have my own unique life story and it is certainly mine to live. :)
As much as we want everything to be the way we want it, many things are just beyond our control. We can’t control the condition of the traffic, how others perceive us, how much our employer should pay us (though it would be nice, hahaha), how do we look and many more.
When tragedy or something bad happens, our very natural-human-emotion will trigger the sadness and anger. We feel that we are being mistreated, our life sucks big time, our job is horrible, our wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend is not as good as others, and basically nothing seems right in our ‘pathetic’ life.
We start comparing and thinking the grass is greener on the other side and we would start planning our sweet escape. Again, like I said, not everything can be the way we want it to be so while some people are luckily enough to get out or get away from their current so called ‘bad/terrible’ situation, some poor souls are not as fortunate.
Take our work for instant, work is work, whether it is a lot or little, work will never change. We need to put food on our table and we are paid to do the job in order to earn our bread, so like it or not, all of us are in a way oblige to our employers and to at least commit our time and effort to a certain expectant level.
But as long as there is ‘human being’ involved, earning a living is not as straight forward or as plain and simple as it seems apart from the job challenges. Because, people come in different packages and that makes things complicated.
Now…. We are stuck in a situation and with people that we do not like and to make things worst, we have no where to run to due to our circumstances at that moment of time.
So what we do or how we react? We are unhappy, de-motivated and we are stuck so the only natural things would happen are our job performance is deteriorating, we grumble a lot on small little things (which we used to just brush it off with a smirk), works pressure is growing on us, everything and everyone seems like against us. Some of us may break down and totally lose it at work or some might cry & suffer in silence. Of course I have been thru similar situation and I am of course the cry & suffer in silence type. Only my hubby knows it and he is the only comfort I could turn to.
However, over the years, I realise that we don’t always have the rainbow, the sunshine and the sweet candies in our lives. Life will always be unfair to many people and there’s nothing much we can do to change that. We have to learn how to make the best out of what we have by tackling each different situation with an open mind and be indifference towards certain things in our life. I’m not saying not to care about what’s going on but learn to be indifferent so that nothing could hurt us and bother us as easily.
It has come to my senses that since we can’t run and we certainly can’t hide, instead of doing the job or living our life with constant whining, tears, anger and oh-pity-me-I-am-so-unlucky attitude, we might as well do the job and live our life with laughter, peace and positive attitude coz believe me, you will find that things are not as bad after all and life ain’t that bad if you stop your self pitying s*** and focus on the bigger and more important things in life.
It is not easy and sometimes it is really hard to control the emotion and not let the situation or people affect us but each time, I’ll try my best to calm myself down by telling myself whatever I am facing it is nothing compare to the people in third world countries because no matter how bad things may seems at least I still have food to eat, a roof to live in, people who love & care for me and many other wonderful things going on in my life. Misfortunes and unhappiness are just part of our life and we shouldn’t spoil our lives just because of some stains and flaws.
We have to look at our life at a macroscopic way and stop harping on the microscopic things and prolong our unhappiness. Life is way too precious and too short to be wasted like this.
We can always choose to indulge in sadness or we can choose to live with happiness and make peace with others and especially ourselves.
Happiness is a choice. That’s what I’ve chosen.

Alone...
What do you like or usually do when you are alone?
I hardly have the chance to spend time alone after married. No doubt my hubby do travel every now and then but most of his trips fall on weekdays thus to me that doesn't count as I'm working during weekdays myself and most of the time I would be so spent after a long day work so I don't really have the chance to enjoy the 'alone' time. You know basically the same routine, go home, shower, dinner, rest for a while and hit the sack.
Hmmm... don't get me wrong....I don't like to be left alone all the time and when my hubby travel, I do miss him a lot. However, it is real nice to have some time to just spend it with myself once in a while and that opportunity is rare.
Tomorrow my hubby will be travelling to Bangkok and back on this Sunday evening. So put aside the 3 working days, basically I'll have the whole weekend all by myself. There was an initial plan to go to Taiping or Ipoh with my colleagues for a 2D/1N trip but it is cancelled due to some unforeseen circumstances. So now I'm left with a weekend without my hubby and I have no idea what should I do.
I'm contemplating of going to Karaoke, book sales, stay home & read or hangout with friends. I can't really make up my mind yet but then again I can be quite lazy sometimes so I might just stay home & bury myself in all the books I've bought while waiting for him to come home. :)
Whatever it is I should spend this weekend wisely and not waste it by just lazing around and do nothing like sitting at home and Facebook-ing. :P

He Has His Way....
I truly believe everything happensfor a reason and God has his unique way of making things work or not work and waysto convey his messages.
I usually dislike people who can't keep things to themselves when they are not suppose to share the info to others, however for this particular incident, I am thankful to have these bunch of people or else I wouldn't quite know the actual situation and would have jump in to a SH** HOLE after come out from the Fire Pot. :D
Anyway, I am thankful that God has guide me all these while and be there for me whenever and wherever.
For now, I just gonna take things easy and if something greater come along, God will let me know and lead me through it.

Anxious
Anxious as I am but I shall not be overwhelmed with such anxiousness...if it is God's plan & will for it to happen, it will surely be. :)
I have been very truthful and open with everything about myself and what I want in my career and I think I've done quite a good job today. There will be one more session before I know my fate.
I believe if it is really meant to be, God will sort it all out for me (for things that are beyond my control).
Have faith, girl! Muacks (giving myself a kiss, hehehehe)

Backside PAIN!!!
I don't know how it happened but somehow I slipped & fell last Saturday night when I was taking my shower. I didn't make a sound when I was falling and during that few seconds all I thought of was I must try to control my fall so that my head wouldn't hit the wall behind me.
Phewww... I was lucky or what. After my previous experience with my leg injury, I am very scare of falling. Anyway, I fell and because I locked the bathroom's door, thus I figure no point for me to call Keith to my rescue as he would not be able to come in and it might only make him panic. So I just sat on the floor and indulge in the sharp pain on my right wrist & right bum until I could find my strength to push myself up.
I then wash & dry myself slowly, dress up then only I went to Keith and told him what happened to me in the bathroom. Needless to say he was very concerned and asked me why didn't I scream for help. Hmm... first, the bathroom door was locked and 2nd I don't think he could hear me as my bedroom door was closed and he was playing Poker with some friends in the living hall.
It was really painful and I had difficulty to get up once I sit down. I think my bum is bruise inside. It actually got better by Sunday evening coz I can even wear my 3" heels when I was out for dinner. But then I kind of injured it further this morning on my way to work coz I had to carry my notebook (took it back over the weekend to do some work). I guess it was the extra weight and pressure added on plus the 4 flights of staircase I had to climbed up.
By the time I reach my office, the pain intensified and I ended up limping a little when I walk now. I also have to be very cautious when I walk, bend and sit. Sigh.... hope it heals soon as it is really inconvenience for me since I have to move around rather often in the office. Not to mention that the pain is really bothersome!!!

Exppressing 'Love'
It seems to me a very funny and intoxicated situation seeing hundreds or thousands of people screaming & chasing after their idols for autographs then loudly & shameless declare their so call 'love' to their idols.
People tend to listen to what their idols told them to do and try to do whatever they could just to get a glimpse, a handshake, an autograph or more of their idols. I remember during my teenage years, my mom used to tell me that the youngster these days always like to go against their parents' wills but take heed of what their idols tell them to do.
How many of us would actually tell our parents, our siblings, relatives or friends that we love them? Some do but most of the people don't. Why? Oh well, it's because we are shy and feel really awkward expressing our love to our loved ones, those who care for us and we cared for. It's just too embarrassing to say, "Daddy, I love you" or to your sister, "Katy, I love you". But somehow, we can shout loudly and shamelessly to someone who don't know us and who obviously don't care about us coz we are no one to them. I wonder where are all the shyness & awkwardness gone to???
It is not wrong to have idol(s). My point is, if only we can at least express and show our love more often to those who are really dear to us and listen to the advice of those who care for us. After all, your idol is not going to be the one to care for you when you are ill, and certainly your idol will not be the one who listen to your problem when you need a pair of ears or lend his/her shoulder to you when you need a shoulder to cry on (unless your idol is so happen your personal friend).
It's not necessary to say "I love you' loudly to anyone as different people have different way of showing their love. Anyway, whether you are showing your love by saying it out loud, giving a hug, doing little caring things or etc, just do anything that express your love to the special ones in your life to let them know that you love them and care for them.
