A fresh start

I'm a slow person and so, I've only decided to mark down my resolution for the 2010. Not here, may be in my new Midori Traveler's Notebook. Yea, that's the name. Cool right? I like the concept of the book very much and so I bought it at Tokyu Hands during my trip to Japan. I made a right choice, although it's not as cheap as Moleskine.

Anyways, I just got back from Japan three days ago and I've started to miss it already. The weather has become colder and colder but I loved it! Although sometimes I dressed like a polar bear but I'm still loving the weather! Now, I'm back here, back to the friggin' hot weather again. Bah.

Went to 1Utama yesterday accompanying mum for some CNY shopping. The grey handbag she got reminds me of my grey MBMJ working bag. She got it for only RM80. That's a really good deal.

Now I need to continue my cleaning job. My desk and my room is in a mess. Catastrophe.

My dream house

Today I'm on medical leave as I just went for wisdom tooth surgery. So I have been staying home and resting because of the surgery's aftermath. No I would not talk about the surgery as it's scary and I still have dull ache after taking the pain killer pills.

Anyways, since I have some time to kill, I then checked out Flickr for some pictures browsing. And so I began looking at the pools of interior design and related subjects. Oh well, heaven knows I have been secretly thinking about how would my dream house be like.

In my dream, I can see mainly white colour, mixing with other earthy/ random colour. It's such a simple yet refreshing colour.

The interior must not be over dramatic, it's not something that I would prefer and I think it's not my style afterall.

Here are some settings that I heart:

Living room: love the white fur carpet and the random cushions on the white sofa.

I heart every little detail of this living space, the white chair incorporating with the cozy sofa, the white shelves, the greenery and the warm fireplace (picture courtesy of Jeana)

Oh the natural sunlight! And the book shelves! I would love to spend my whole evening there reading and knitting.

Dining space: A studio-like setting which I think is pretty cool. Love the chairs!

I said I'm not fancy of dramatic design, but I have a thing on crystal chandelier. I just cannot stop looking at it. Again, love the eclectic setting of the chairs, the lovely white flowers and the black-and-white portraits on the wall.

Kitchen: Oh I always wish there is a center island in my kitchen!

Work space: Who would not love working in this quaintly space?

Lastly, there must be peonies in the house.

I heart peonies :)

Now I shall come back to reality, and continue working on my secret project.

Comment ca va?

Hey ya (if there's still anyone reading this). I've abandoned the blog for the longest time, I know. Guess I've lost my mojo in blogging /writing since the past year. Sometimes when something really strike me up in my mind, I just couldn't state them down in words before I could still remember.

Hence, the longest-ever hiatus up to date. Hmm, what an excuse.

So. Life's been good for me, if the working life doesn't count. I have started working since June when I was still soaking in the holiday mood which I've always longed for. The typical working hours and workload just couldn't make me smile and laugh from the bottom of my heart anymore like those days back in my uni life.

Sounds like I don't satisfy enough for my job. Yea, I guess? Maybe I am not sure with the path that I'm walking on right now; whether is it wise for me to stand still for..say... the next 5 years. I just keep thinking whether I will be sick it or regret of choosing this. I am STILL sucks at making choices if I really don't have a concrete idea of it. Anyway, sometimes I would think that this career path has good potential, definitely and will always be challenging despite some of its seemingly-tedious daily routine work. The point of this path is, you have to deal with PEOPLE, poeple and people - both internal and external ''customers''. But of course, management skill is utterly important; same goes to decision-making, multi-tasking, and pandai-pandai ing (that's what I think a freshie should have, as normally we freshie would never learn to say ''no'' to those tasks which are not within your work area).

So, be pandai-pandai at all times if not you will just end up NOT finishing the things that you are supposed to do.

When you are not getting right-things done, you are just not doing the right things.

"What is your ideal working place? And what is your dream job or at least having a job which will make you a happy person?"

Those are some of the questions running in my mind now.

Less than 3 months I'll be done with my contract job and HOPEFULLY I could have a holiday to loosen up my mind for quite a bit.

But that said, I should start looking for another job if I'm not staying in my current company. Hmm... now off to bed..

渐行渐远

人家对你好，你当作草。别人当你是草，你当作宝。

醒醒吧！别再自找苦吃了！

该做的，我们都尝试了。再这样下去，只有绝望，没有希望。

只期望你会有醒悟的一天。

记忆的烙印

话说，我爱上摄影已经有一段日子了吧。大概三年前的我还没领悟到那种按下快门的瞬间感动，所有无法形容的感觉。所以现在每当回想起那次的香港行，都会有点自责。那时的我超懒惰，就连启动相机的欲望都没有。所以那次的旅行，也是我的第一次远距离的海外出游，相较之下少了许多具体的回忆。如果再给我一个重游香港的机会，我一定不再让自己后悔。

这两年来虽说拍了不少的照片，可是都没怎么整理和过瀘。一堆堆的相片还好好的存在记忆体里，心想得找个时间，冲洗它们才行呐。毕竟这做法非常的不保险。万一我的电脑或记忆体报销呢？呵呵，我一定会哭死。

如果有一天，我能够把那些相片印成一本自己的摄影书，那该有多好啊。记载着满满爱的回忆。看着肉拉的po，心中一阵感动。

毕竟人生的旅程只有那么的一次啊。

Time flies...

been so busying on assignments and presentations this month. other than doing assignments, I've been spending time doing anything but no blogging cos I just seems to lose my mojo in blogging. time flies. in a month or so I'll be having my final and last exam in uni and I'll be saying byebye to my uni life. just saw a vid made by rika and started feeling emo. I'm gonna end my uni life very soon. what will be the feeling of saying goodbye to your friends that you have been having laughters with? moving into a different pace of life, all of us might not be meeting each other (anymore?). lately I've been spending my time with couple of new friends. and they are so cool (I mean, come on. I like them SO much). we played pokers together. we laughed so hard we almost teared. we had gin + sprite and chilled out together listening to my fav songs. singing the songs together. swaying. laughed again. swaying. so comfortable.

but then I started pondering - what if we all get to know each other earlier? like...way back then? could my uni life be different? oh I'm sure it's gonna be tons of fun. well oh well, at least I still own a month of FUN time with them :)

just cherish the moment.

Here they come

I just woke up from a sweet dream that pretty much sounds like this:

"The sweet boy gave the girl a sweet surprise by traveling all the way from the Venus (which was weird cause I heard that's where women come from) to the Land (where the girl's staying at). He told the girl not to worry about anything and it's going to be two awesome weeks. They spent their time happily together. Walking side by side along the never-ending-walkways. Spraying each other water while watering the garden. Playing games together. Teasing each other while the girl kicked the guy cause he tickled her. Eating nice food together. Holding hands. Looking into each others' eyes. But then the image got blurry and the boy faded away...."

That's the time I woke up. And now the nightmares are coming. They are knocking on my door. Now.

I want to run away but I can't. It's depressing.
