brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............................

to write again!

Hopefully will start to write again!
Yesterday I went to the Family Day 2011 for my company, most of my colleagues from my dept won some stuff...I won myself a hamper for playing a game. Prizes won were a Samsung Galaxy tab, washing machine, 32" tv, convection oven, bread maker etc etc...

When a colleague told me not to be sad cos i haven't won anything, I was like "no worries, I feel happy for those who won"...honestly, I memang don't have a lucky draw luck...but in all honesty, I think it's ok, i believe God is fair, the reason I never win lucky draws is because I'm already very blessed in life, and very very lucky...especially always meeting very nice people to help me etc ^_^

Gratitude

You know how about we always complain about needing more, wanting more?

On my trip back to Yangon from Kalaw, approximately 7pm, a single event that I witnessed completely changed my life.

At least I hope that I would permanently remember that image.

We were in a hired van, and for most of the 9 days in the van, although it was sooooooooo old we were generally grateful that it brought us to where we wanted to go. Never mind the dust that got onto all our clothes and faces. Never mind the air-conditionless van. Never mind the non-existing suspension of the van. Never mind the every single spot we touched was black in color.

We were on the end of the highway and entering the border of Yangon, and from far we saw a boy sitting on the middle of the street. "That's really dangerous, vehicles could easily not see him", we exclaimed. (Given the fact that Myanmar doesn't have enough electricity so the lights were kinda dim too).

As we passed by, guess what we saw the boy doing? He was holding a book, reading. The only reason he was sitting there, risking himself being run over by vehicles is because he needed the lights from the street lamp. I guess his house must not have electricity then...

And our kids in Malaysia? (and many parts of the world) They could not be bothered nor appreciative of the resources provided by parents...luxurious study table, chair, all the books they can read. Instead they complain of wanting the latest gadgets. I'm sure this poor boy would've been ecstatic if his family could afford to have electricity at home.

So the moral of the story? Be appreciative of what we have. It's not easy when there are so many things that we are chasing in life, but sometimes we just need to step back and appreciate what we have. ♥♥♥

incoherent speech

I don't think he will ever be interested in my non existing ongoing life, will he?

unlike me...

2nd post in a span of a week. not bad not bad... :P

Just had a very random thought again, and these thoughts could not be expressed in FB cos it wouldn't make sense.

Was just looking back at old pictures and specifically had my eyes on one pic, this one super cute Greek guy i met when I was in Italy. and I sighed and asked myself "if only..."

If I had to ask myself this question, then I would say there were many missed opportunities...

I mean, these were the guys who caught my fancy and they reciprocated...but due to my lembab signal picking skills, they became missed opportunities! :P
Back in Glo, Mr. Z and Mr. C
Back in Italy, Mr. F and Mr. K
Back in Baker, Mr. A, Mr. (i actually forgot his name? then he wasnt worth it ha ha), and Mr. G
Back in SLB, Mr. H...

Oh well, now that I have found my Mr.Y...I do hope that, and I know that he will make up for all the missed opportunities that I lost, and worthy than all of them combined. (*crosses fingers)

thoughts

bi-annual posts, how's that for a blog. or a post a year :P

had been an eventful yet quiet year so far...time passes, sun rises, sun sets...day by day...

OH not to mention i got into a bad car accident which i will have to post pictures of one of these days :)

just a few random words came into my mind at the moment:
- unhealthily dependent
- the words "i promise it will never happen again", "i forgot" don't mean ANYTHING
- i need a life

:) other than that, all's well...just landed back in Labuan an hour ago, I was in KL for a week bingeing on food like nobody's business.

Job wise, I hate my job but i kinda like it too, just have to make up my mind, really... :)

Happy new year!!! [2011]

yes yes another year, another year wiser, more wrinkles, more waistline... less metabolism, less money, less energy

but i have a good feeling about this year...2011

2010 was such a hectic year and passed by in a blur, to be honest I don't remember much about the year...it all started on Dec 2009 when i signed up with the new job. The chronology after that...let's see...if i remember correctly:

The year it was...
Abu Dhabi to KL to Labuan
Labuan to Miri
Miri to Labuan
Labuan to Kota Kinabalu...wait all these was just in December 2009...

2010~
Feb: Labuan to KL to Balikpapan, Indonesia

Met amazing peeps there, the friendliest I've seen, the helpfulest ones I've seen, but also the most corrupted ones too (had some problem with the work permit there and almost got deported)
Made amazing friends which I hope would last long long time...
April: Left and went back to KL then to Abu Dhabi (again!!)
Here it felt like I was back to high school again or was it university...endless assignments but fun fun fun too!
End of May, left for KL --- finally!!! a good 2 weeks vacation *whoop dee doo* spent quality time with family and friends, my dear LL Housemate got married, Mrs Au... ;) Congrats Rin2
June - October - headed back to Labuan, got thrown offshore in Bintulu for 1 month
Back in KL once, beau came to visit once, oh received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers once too

Then November...again to Abu Dhabi...yes for the 3rd time in one year, the one month was the most, well, let's just say i met the most arrogant and annoying people, but again, we learn something from them, mainly "not to be like them" but i'm glad each of us improved towards the end of the month

and in December! yes yes yes, finally got my long awaited vacation...in fact extended for 3 weeks...spent great great time with beau, we went to Melaka and Port Dickson...then went back to Penang again for another very good friend's wedding, miss Jolene Ooi *sheds tear* she made such a gorgeous bride and I hope my wedding one day would be as beautiful as hers...

So...This year? back to the grind of work, but I am positive about this year...partly because i know i will be having scheduled days off/vacation now from my current position ;) yes! and then...no more training so i can do so much more @ work instead of pretending to study every day...LOL

Anyways typed in hurry...but happy new year y'all!!!!!!
