Space and time.

I have so much to share that I don't know where and how to begin. Right now, all I know is that I'm jam packed with work and I've no time for real actual fun. I miss going out doing activities but I always end up meeting my girls for dinner only. I mean, I'm glad that we all still try to make time for each other but I'd wish we can all do more than just that. Haiz oh wells, I need to take note that my friends' financial status and my precious time that I have left per week, do play a part here. :/

A quick update about work, the CE team has got 22 ceremonies to cover and we all take turns in doing them. So it's a total of 5 ceremonies that I have to do. So far, I've done 2 and another 3 more to go for me. It's not exactly that tough but sure as hell is tiring, all thanks to the 3-5 inches of wedge/heels that I always strap on. It's not necessary to be always in those, flats are allowed but I don't think it's nice nor appropriate(to me la). Side track abit, my favourite Zara platforms aren't allowed for big events. :( So that can only mean one thing, to get a good comfy pair of heels, a black/nude in color and the first thing that came to mind was Melissa's. Ps; Melissa's would cost atleast $200. Double :/ Haiya nvm, I'll just take it as one of my "investment". :P

One thing for sure, I had alot more to learn and I'm willing to learn also. I just need more time to prove myself that I'm capable to do things, up to their standard. And ps; different managers have different style of working and I, have to adapt to whatever "style" their's is. Easy? Right. If kena scolding, just swallow it down and do as they say lor. It's only been 4 months or less, I'm sure they'll "tekan" me as much as they'd like and.. I'm good. Haha. Though that being said, it's not that bad or all mean, almost all of them are nice. I love my job and the perks that comes with it. Example, eating lovely cupcakes and more and more cakes. Hahaha I'm so gonna be fat la! AND I'VE NOT BEEN EXERCISING FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS. DIE LOR, JUST DIEEE. FATTY BOM SHIQS.

I'm proud to say that I've been saving up $$$ pretty well. I'd loveee to earn more because that means, I'm able to save even more. Like shiok right, to see $$$$ in you bank? That being said, I have a list of what to buy next. I hope I can and when the time comes, I won't be a pussy and not buy it coz I'm too sayang to be apart from such a huge sum. Hahaha haiz why aren't I rich?

In between life and love.

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember


You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over


But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough


No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

LOVE is a 4 letter WORD.

Nurul from Bonvo and myself from NUS > Bayfront> Gorgeous Gardens by the Bay, be it in the day or night > crazy standing of 2 hours plus and thank god I decided to leave ze heels at work > Tuna and Honey Chicken sandwiches that we didn't managed to snap pictures of coz we were ravenous as hell > A plastic cup of Sprite and a bottle of Fiji water that was priced at $8 each. More exorbitant than the weekly Starbucks Frap that I have at work > Charmed, swooned by the one and only Jason Mraz though my love meter for him would go rocket high if he had a shorter hair do. Ps; I can't stand guys with long hair. Pss; I like my man clean cut. With stubbles? BONUS. Hehehe  > We walked and got ourselves lost while trying to find our way out of The Meadow. It's like a maze, a pretty one but Nurul and I couldn't be bothered much as our feets were literally begging for help. :( We followed the lesser crowd and managed to reach MBS close to midnight > Toastbox for supper and it was like a mini pit stop for us. Nothing beats simple food such as kaya toast and half boiled eggs to be eaten in the middle of the night or rather, morning > Wouldn't forget how we almost didn't get a cab due to our line being cut off, to the cabby calling us back and making our way home safely in the wee hours > As always, memorable.

Last week of June.

After so long, a simple dinner at Canele with Paula after work. We both had the same thing which was the Spicy Marinara and I tried out the Strawberry Tea. At the first sip, it was weirdly tasteless and they were nice enough to make a new one for me. Slightly sweeter but definitely better. Love the atmosphere at Shaw Lido because there ain't many people and the service was 2-thumbs up! I forsee myself visiting this place pretty soon and as usual, precious catch up time for less than 2 hours are always loved. I mean, how often can I meet my girlfriends with such busy schedule of mine(or theirs). It's like you gotta plan atleast a week in advance before finalizing it a day before to double confirm. HahaI can't believe we are all in this "working" phase. 

Though not all my friends are exactly working and earning themselves a living la. Haha I don't know what goes through their mind at times. How do you feel not earning any $$$ and wait for others to feed you? Pretty much sucky, I assume. But oh wells, perhaps different people have a different mindset and they most definitely are not on the par with me. ✌

 I collected my tickets at ION Orchard and I must say that SISTIC is very good in reminding us on collecting our tickets before the "closing" date. They kinda spam me on my email before sending out SMS-es and I'd take this in a positive way because people like me can be really busy and forgot about all this small things. But of course, there's no way I'll miss out on JASON MRAZ! Hehe. On the Friday, WERKZ our photographer (for work) came down with lovely desserts for us and mind you, the day before he came with Soyabean tarts instead of the Chocolate Banana and Apple Guava tarts. It's uber delicious and I forgot to take down the place of where those goodies came from! Nevermind that, I can always pray for another time. ;)

Everything was down right awesomeee! I can still remember how charming and amazinggg Mraz was. Though, I'd admit 2/5 of the songs he sang, I was pretty clueless. Hahaha. I'm not a hardcore fan to begin with la but I went for the experience and whatnots. Loveeee it when I especially  had a crazy partner for the day! I swear we both were damn tired but we made time and energy for it (somehow)!

Allow me to digress but do follow me on twitter ya? I mean, it's really the easiest way to know what goes on behind all this picture that I've posted and gonna continue posting. It's a little redundant to mention over and over again. Like the photo above, it was before we tried calling for a cab at MBS Casino taxi stand. I swear the queue was massive and there was no way me and Nurul was going to join the line up. We both called but to no avail and my line got cut off but only to receive a call by the cabby if I still am in need of one. Hell yeah we needed it. It's 1am+ fyi and that's the longest time I've stayed out after hmm something-something la hor. I don't wish to talk about it. Anyway, either Twitter or Instagram. Both with the same ID: ahshiqs.

Cmon, we all had moments like this right? :P

Even if it's just for a short while.

25 things to do before you turn 25.

1. Make peace with your parents. Whether you finally recognize that they actually have your best interests in mind or you forgive them for being flawed human beings, you can’t happily enter adulthood with that familial brand of resentment.   

2. Kiss someone you think is out of your league; kiss models and med students and entrepreneurs with part-time lives in Dubai and don’t worry about if they’re going to call you afterward.   

3. Minimize your passivity.

4. Work a service job to gain some understanding of how tipping works, how to keep your cool around assholes, how a few kind words can change someone’s day.

5. Recognize freedom as a 5:30 a.m. trip to the diner with a bunch of strangers you’ve just met.  

6. Try not to beat yourself up over having obtained a ‘useless’ Bachelor’s Degree. Debt is hell, and things didn’t pan out quite like you expected, but you did get to go to college, and having a degree isn’t the worst thing in the world to have. We will figure this mess out, I think, probably; the point is you’re not worth less just because there hasn’t been an immediate pay off for going to school. Be patient, work with what you have, and remember that a lot of us are in this together.  

7. If you’re employed in any capacity, open a savings account. You never know when you might be unemployed or in desperate need of getting away for a few days. Even $10 a week is $520 more a year than you would’ve had otherwise.

8. Make a habit of going outside, enjoying the light, relearning your friends, forgetting the internet.

 

9. Go on a 4-day, brunch-fueled bender.

10. Start a relationship with your crush by telling them that you want them. Directly. Like, look them in the face and say it to them. Say, I want you. I want to be with you. 

11. Learn to say ‘no’ — to yourself. Don’t keep wearing high heels if you hate them; don’t keep smoking if you’re disgusted by the way you smell the morning after; stop wasting entire days on your couch if you’re going to complain about missing the sun.

12. Take time to revisit the places that made you who you are: the apartment you grew up in, your middle school, your hometown. These places may or may not be here forever; you definitely won’t be.

13. Find a hobby that makes being alone feel lovely and empowering and like something to look forward to.

14. Think you know yourself until you meet someone better than you.

15. Forget who you are, what your priorities are, and how a person should be.

16. Identify your fears and instead of letting them dictate your every move, find and talk to people who have overcome them. Don’t settle for experiencing .000002% of what the world has to offer because you’re afraid of getting on a plane.

17. Make a habit of cleaning up and letting go. Just because it fit at one point doesn’t mean you need to keep it forever — whether ‘it’ is your favorite pair of pants or your ex.

18. Stop hating yourself.

19. Go out and watch that movie, read that book, listen to that band you already lied about watching, reading, listening to.

20. Take advantage of health insurance while you have it.

21. Make a habit of telling people how you feel, whether it means writing a gushing fan-girl email to someone whose work you love or telling your boss why you deserve a raise.

22. Date someone who says, “I love you” first.

23. Leave the country under the premise of “finding yourself.” This will be unsuccessful. Places do not change people. Instead, do a lot of solo drinking, read a lot of books, have sex in dirty hostels, and come home when you start to miss it.

24. Suck it up and buy a Macbook Pro.

25. Quit that job that’s making you miserable, end the relationship that makes you act like a lunatic, lose the friend whose sole purpose in life is making you feel like you’re perpetually on the verge of vomiting. You’re young, you’re resilient, there are other jobs and relationships and friends if you’re patient and open.

Wed wed wedd.

First and foremost, I'd like to let the whole world know that I brought G12 to Yaty's wedding with no memory card. Yes you got that right, NO, nada, and when I found that out, I was pretty much pissed with myself. I mean, what's the point of spending so much on a camera when I always end up just taking pics with the 4S. Like no use right? I might as well don't buy G12 in the first place. -_- Nvm that, I shall treat this as a lesson learnt and also special thanks to N for wanting to come down just to borrow me a spare memory card but I kinda don't wish to trouble others. Your thought was much appreciated though. :)

JUST LOOK AT MY CHEEKS PLEASE. OMG hahaha. SO TEMBAM FOR WHAT? >.<

Positively sure that I've gained weight! (2kgs up = 42kg now. I don't mind if all this fats goes to my boobs but noooo they decide to go to the face first before the arms followed by the tummy or thighs. Bloody hell. I geram you know? But.. I've been eating like no one's business and I've missed 2 weeks of swimming and cardiomix. Nobody to blame but myself. Literally, padan muke kau shiqin.)

Zie pop by at the very last minute and truth be told, I miss her.

It's a wrap! And though I know I didn't do much aside from eating bryani for my breakfast, lunch and dinner there. I was dead beat mending the reception area and what nots (too many adhoc duties to be mentioned here). Bottom line, I enjoyed spending time with the girlfriends doing something different and I'm pretty sure they all did too! I hope that the blood, sweat and tears were all worth it! Hahaha k drama mama abit la hor. :P

To Yaty and Fauzi, 

May you always feel as close as you do this day.
May your lives be graced with good health.
May you always find happiness in your home,
and may it be a refuge from the storms of life.
May your love grow ever stronger as you share
your lives together, and may your future be even
more wonderful than you dreamed possible

XOXO.
