A lucky day
I'm tempted to continue watching Sex and the city season 1 but today is miraculously smooth for me. so i guess i should make a note about it. Next time when i'm not feeling so well, this post can probably cheer me up.
The first thing that made my day is the mornign sun. Finally the sun showed up this morning, after i had been missing it for a couple of days. I remember yesterday when i was driving home, the question of when will the sky stop crying keep popping up in my mind. Then this morning, it was sunny. I can't stop smiling when the sunshine touched my face.
Secondly, i arrived at work earlier than normal and it so happened that my boss came early too today to tell me what he had just discovered about our data. If nothing goes wrong, i'd have my first published paper some time this year ^_^ yeah i know i'm not the author but just a research assistant. Still, it's goin to be the first journal article with my name on the author list. Let's put our hands together for Jocy~~
Thirdly, my lunch and dinner were free. Nining paid for my lunch and meimei paid for my dinner. Thanks to both of them. I enjoyed the time spent with them (not because they paid for my meal). But i feel a bit guilty for nining lah because i wasn't so eager about meeting up after a few last minute cancellation from her. Am i too petty or inconsiderate?
I can be so fake at times. I was angry and disappointed and yet i told people it's ok, it's not your fault or you didn't want that to happen too.
I can be bad too as in, i criticized the boyfriend in front of the girlfriend.. is that bad or i'm just blunt? hm..
Oh yeah! Another highlight of my day. Just look at these pictures.. who, especially girls, can resist a big grin when looking at her own 'trophies'??
Awwww.. so lovely~
The last picture is my new phone chain. I'm so in love with it!
Hehe.. don't get me wrong. I'm not that into shoes. I think my latest target is skincare. Yeah, i have given up on buying shoes after searching through few shops or department store and still couldn't see any pair that match with my eyes. Then suddenly, i bought 2 new pairs within a week.
I've been putting my eyes on that pair of white heels when i entered that boutique some time last year. So when i saw it again this afternoon, and still with strong desire to buy it, i just gave myself a go. But i'm sure that is going to be the last pair of shoes i buy for this coming chinese new year.. yeah. should be..
Hmm.. i think that's all for the highlights of my day. I feel so much blessed today. Almost too good to be true. Hope every day of the year won't be too awful for me or i'll sure miss today a lot. But i bet i'll forget about today in no time, because good things are easily forgotten :p
Mimi is right, we are blessed to be living in brunei. I want to add one more point. We are indeed blessed to live in this part of brunei. Like i said before, i love my town. It's not far from the capital, not far from KB. I can reach the capital within an hour if i want to do shopping or experience city atmosphere. After that, i can just come back to my own place where it is quiet and safe from flooding and soil erosion/landslide.
I miss my dear. Thank god it's thursday already so i don't have to wait for too long before he comes back. Hmm.. another blessing, i suppose.
Actually, for me, being able to live is a blessing already. I won't live like there's no tomorro. That will be too tiring. But i agree for certain things, i should work for it like there's no more next time.
Isn't it amazing? I believe till now, all the old ladies, including me, have changed in our ways of thinking in one way or another. Sometimes our opinions can really vary a lot. But we'll always have the patience to read each other's blog, line by line.
The other day, i did a quiz in facebook and the result said that i am a cheater. Honestly, i am amused by the result. Hehe.. it's nice to play the bad guy once in a while. But what or who have i cheated??
Another day, i went to Express for takeaway. I pity the counter lady. She seemed blur and inexperienced. My order went like, 'i want to order a dinner box and can i have 1 wing, 2 drumstick and 2 thighs?' She was confused and i began to question myself am i too fussy..
Before i realised, i've been ordering food this way whenever i go to restaurant now. If i go to KFC, i'll request for 1 drumstick and 1 thigh. If i order hot drinks, i'll request for less sugar. There was even a time when i'd request for no black sauce for fried kueh tiaw and no ginger for porridge. Ok, i better stop here because i really think i'm fussy now.

First post of 2009
Since it's my first post of the year 2009, i think i should put up something i like.. such as the two below. I like old-styled things and i hope i won't pick up antique collection as past time next time (too costly).
Me, junho and eshyn during one of our evening walks
Windows on one of the shophouses in BSB
On the last day of work, a colleague brought up the question of hightlights of 2008. Hmm...
My highlights will be my convo, KK trip in Chinese New Year, received my first salary, appreciation speech during appreciation lunch, gave my mom pocket money for the first time, found a nice yoga studio, erm.. also learnt a lot of new lessons, death of my ma kim and many more.
I am so glad that i can come up with lots of highlights because that means i am 'alive' haha
But recently, i have been quite emotional. Very likely, it's due to my sister's mother-in-law falling sick. It once again reminded me how fragile life is and the horror of aging. Eventually, i get over that stage and i'm now trying to look at things with an open heart.
Something to share..
One night, when i could feel that the tension inside me was reaching the top of my head, i tried sitting down in half-lotus and practised Ujjayi breathing. To my surprise, it worked. I felt a lot calmer and my heart felt lighter too after that.
I miss my yoga class.. but i'm having period now so have to rest.
Another colleague also asked me for my new year's resolution. Hm.. no idea about that. Because i almost always set a list of new year's resolution and forget about it the next minute haha.
But i do plan to spend more time with my grandparents from now on. They are getting old now.
Last week i finally got to watch 'Twilight'. I think the hero in the movie (Edward Cullen) is better to look at than the movie. I don't like the way of shooting, it makes me dizzy. But i like the character of Edward. In movies or novels, a boyfriend like that is soooo perfect.He's there whenever you need him or in danger. The best part, he can bring you hopping around tree tops. That is even more cool than canopy walk. He is strong, sweet and not-bad -looking.
But in real life, if a vampire falls in love with me, the first thing i'll do is probably run! It's kind of suffocating for me, a boyfriend sticking to me all the time and watch me asleep throughout the night. Oh my god!
I still prefer my own dear
Oh yeah! i forgot!
Happy New Year to everyone! Let's hope this year will be peaceful and everyone will be healthy and fit.
