Despite hating the job, I kinda miss having tight deadlines, very picky clients (who couldn’t make up their mind even when they’ve already decided to stick to a particular design), late nights at the office eating take-away foods while trying to get some book cover done and the events at exquisite hotels! YESSSSS… I kinda miss THAT life. My life currently is loud music, super-irritating people and music blasting from the car audio.

Well ok, I party all night long. At least it’s so much better than having to withstand the politics in the office. Yes, office politics sucks!

But I guess that life is OK. Embrace my life and accept what I currently have. If I dislike it, I can always change for the better! :-)

And I HATE IT.

I miss waking up late, knowing that breakfast or lunch will be waiting for me on the table. I miss making plans for the afternoon with my family. I miss taking our pet dog, Girly to the beach and laugh as she runs away from the incoming waves.

I miss all that.

Life in the big city in the ‘working class’ is just so laden with excess baggage that sometimes I think I’d be better off going back to school and get me an information technology degree or something.

The truth is when I’m sitting alone at a corner, I think of leaving everything behind and go live a humble life back home in Sabah.

Maybe I’ll just do that someday.

Nantilah aku change the theme, kio?

So here I am, back in Kuala Lumpur. No more Christmas themes at the malls, only Chinese New Year decos and music. No more Christmas sales or Christmas Best Buy – only Chinese New Year sale. In fact, I am planning to get a few red clothes for myself too. Ha ha!

By the way, I got my first sakit of the year yesterday. Got food poisoning. Silaka betul. Now I can never see ngiu chap (beef noodle) the same way again.

Well gotta stop. Need to write in my Diary. That’s my New Year’s resolution. To own a diary again and write like a school girl. :-)

It’s so hard to pack my stuff, like packing a whole load of medical computer carts. Just about a fortnight ago, I was packing my stuff excitedly. Tonight, I’ll be packing with a heavy heart. But anyway, life goes on.

Tomorrow, I’ll be sleeping on my other bed. :-(

Of course, when I got the bag, I knew it’s a Union Jack tee inside because I requested it personally from her. LOL. But the most exciting part was to see the size of the tee on the label. It stated XS. Hahahaha! I feel like a slim woman once again! And oh, the tee bag comes with the shop’s website URL as well. Looks like I can buy another Union Jack tee online from them (at the same time I’m promoting green shopping bah this) for Jaya. He’s so green with envy that I got a tee while he got a Beatles original Abbey Road poster. Aww, baby.. your poster costs more than my baju bah. :-P

But then again, I get to wear the shirt while he gets to hang the poster on the wall. Muahahaha!

I’m in dilemma.

My other half just gave me the green light to getting myself a brand new work table – and the best part is, he’s paying! I know free stuffs are always great, but what if you’re undecided on what (or rather) which table to go for?

Like to go for this one:

Or… this one:

In terms of price, the difference is just a few bucks…

I so can’t wait to have a new workstation but I still couldn’t decide!! Maybe I should just go out and get some prom dresses for my cousin’s upcoming wedding this December and see if the dresses could help calm me down and decide. LOL

Which table do you like?

PS: They’re both IKEA workstations! ;-)

However, yesterday’s dream was different. I did not dream about my ex. I dreamed about my childhood days when I was still a much younger girl wearing mini skirts and ponytails. I dreamed about my best friend and how happy we were being a little girl with no responsibility in life whatsoever. We were oh-so-free.

Those days, we do not have Internet access to help us with our school works. We depend solely on our teachers, friends or parents to help us. What we had was well-respected teachers, delicious and cheap canteen foods and silly games like ‘buaya-buaya’ that I doubt children these days still have.

I hope I’ll dream about the first time I stepped into the kindergarten tonight because it would be awesome to see Sr. Bernadine once again!

Well.. about a kg or 2. LOL

Not only do I have to look good for Christmas (I wouldn’t want to look as big as our Christmas tree for the family photo), I also have a few wedding invitations for the month of December. And looking fat for the photography sessions is also one main reason why I should lose more weight.

So stress lah. I really have to start my diet already.

But anyway, welcome November.

Bring it on!

I spent my Friday night having drinks and way too many roasted chicken wings with one of my favorite uncle, a nephew, my other half and my siblings.

Just family.

Which was lovely.

Wish my parents were there too. My family is real awesome, you know? We may talk a lot (especially me), but when you get to know us, you’ll know that we’re just a bunch of people who enjoy good music, loud guitar and random song-choices once the beer gets a hold of us. Ha ha ha!

And speaking of family, I think the fox in Frontierville looks kinda like my mom’s pet dog adopted daughter, Girly:

My mom of course wouldn’t agree to that statement. I can almost hear her say, “Heck no, Girly’s way cuter than that!” LOL

Oh well, at least I still see my family in almost everything I do. That can just mean one thing:

I love my family

He took a quick look at me and said, “Is there supposed to be something??”

“Of course, look at my tummy! It doesn’t pop out that much anymore!”

“Oh yeah.. it so much smaller now.”

“You’re just saying that so I don’t get mad at you!”

“Of course not. You’re slightly slimmer now, love.”

(OK, whether or not he’s lying, I am GLAD that I think I’ve lost some weight – without any help from safe diet pills that work too!)

I’ll get on that weighing scale at the end of the month to prove that I’m right. LOL
