Be Kinder
Hi!
erm.. Happy new year?! it's been awhile hasn't it. :P
So in my futile attempt in maintaining a "blog".. I've been focusing on my sense of smell lately. Or rather, my sense of smell has taken over all my other senses.. i keep getting sucked into nice smelling shops and ultimately buying handmade organic soaps (all the buzz now in KL), perfume (Jo Malone), essential oils.. etc.. I've even enrolled myself to some soap making classes .. which weren't that fun cause i hate sharing tools with other people *super impatient..
so one of the shops that i've bought from is "Kindersoap". They have a nice little outlet in Jaya 33 PJ. I know they're just soaps.. but this particular one makes my showertime extra special. and the scent lingers .. unlike other soaps. I hope i can quickly finish the current one so i can try a different type soon. - this is how much i like them. They're also very popular that they keep running out of stock.
Meanwhile, C is thinking of buying a man-necklace and a guitar. I tell him it's just a phase.. because.. a man necklace.. really????
ok it's midnight. time to try my self-made eye pillows! (C says i've put too much essential oil)
*will upload pix later la*
nights!

my life timetable
Hello neglected blog! It has been approximately a year since any update. Apologies for that! It's just that my life has not been 'happening' / interesting enough for an update. But nowadays KL is full of haze (PSI 400-700) that my hair stinks all the time. and C is sick. yeea.. so that's the only 'big thing' going on now. *yawn
To bore you further, let me share with you a typical week in the life of boring/lazy aunty me:
Sunday:
Sleep till noon, wake up dreading tomorrow's monday.. go shopping or facials/massages (hoping that would cheer me up), eat like a pig whilst still dreading tomorrow's Monday ................yes basically sunday is all dread....
Monday:
Morning: Wake up complaining/whining about work.
Afternoon: Manage to do a small task and manage to piss some people in the company off by sending reminder emails to give me whatever that has been outstanding last week / month. Feel so sorry for myself that i'm pissing people off and my job doesn't have any meaning.
Night: Grocery shopping, buying fruits and such in an attempt to start a healthy diet. Prior going to bed realise today hasn't really been THAT bad and feel abit motivated to go to work the next day
Tuesday:
Morning: Wake up feeling determined to finish whatever big task i've set out. Piss off more people by sending another reminder. Realise i like pissing people off and shouldn't feel sorry for myself (you shouldn't blame yourself for other peoples' stupidity)
Afternoon: Embark of manageable tasks and piss more people off
Evening: hopefully able to finish major portions of task and be friendly with colleagues whom i've pissed off
Night: go home feeling tired and thinking i should go for yoga / massage the next day
Wednesday:
Morning: Wake up feeling even more determined to finish the bloody task so not to wait till friday. Put more stress on people.
Afternoon: receive additional work which puts a strain to whatever i'm working on. get even more stressed
Evening: finish additional work and hopefully original task.
Night: Either super happy i've finished work / super tired there's more work to do next day. Eat KFC or other unhealthy shit because i deserve it after such stress
Thursday:
*Repeat Wednesday*
Friday:
Morning: Wake up planning what to do for the weekend
Afternoon: do work at a very jolly mood / work under immense stress because of tight deadline
Evening: Go home watch some movie / Go for painful chinese massage with bruises on my back - oh feels so darn good after
Night: Go clubbing if lucky / watch late movie and cuddle with C
Saturday:
Morning: Go for yoga / pilates.
Afternoon: nap / read / laze
Night: nap / read / laze
so there you have it, life isn't really that interesting. Even my sister says my life is so sad. T.T
I've been following a friend on facebook who's quit her corporate job just to go pluck apples in new zealand. and she's having a ball of a time. But i don't think i've got the guts to ever do that *looks up*
How ah?

dreamdreamdream
Yesterday i dreamt Mr C cheated on me.
I was halfway through the dream when i woke up, but i forced myself to go back to sleep to see what would happen. And the dream continued.
The dream is now all fuzzy already, but i remember mr C bringing me to the cheap hotel room where he did his disgusting act and I forced him to tell me everything that happened. From beginning to end. I was sitting on the bed of the hotel room crying (in the dream) when i woke up, and when i got back to the dream, Mr C was defending / justifying himself like:
"Why are you so sad, it meant nothing!"
"I still love you, it was purely physical with her! I'm sorry but all the other guys were doing it too."
"I really don't understand why you're so sad, I still love you and am still with you right .."
writing this all down now makes me feel like punching him again...!!
AFter breaking up with him (in the dream), i woke up the second time and called Mr C (who was at work) straight away to ask why he cheated on me. and when we met up for lunch later, i punched him. HAHAHA.
Of course, dreams don't mean anything , unless i'm psychic...????!!
Mr C's response is:
"I've only been cheating on you with diablo III.."

special update:

Lady gagaH!
Last Sunday, I signed myself up to teach some kids english at a community centre. It's sort of like a baptist centre where people come to have free food every Sunday (like soup kitchen la), and families who cannot afford tuition send their kids here for english tuition.
Having been on a career break for so long and forced to think about passions in life, I remember my happier moments:
1. being able to get into the advisory team where I was able to have a more planning and seeing things from a big picture role
2. CSR project where we brought orphans from several homes for a day out into our office. The main purpose of that project is to introduce the workplace and conduct talks so as to plant hope and motivation into these kids and also to put them in touch with the scholarship/helpline etc organisations.
Referring to moment #2, to be honest, I didn't really participate much during the planning stage because:
- I was in the midst of a very busy time (but then again i was always busy heh)
- this project contributed nothing to our KPI
- some colleagues were getting shit left right centre for apparently spending 'more time' on this project than work.
Come to think of it, the team did a remarkable job in planning and politicking. So in the end I was only in charge of door gifts and the more specific role was to get people to sponsor these door gifts - i was very lucky and managed to get everything sorted out within 2 days. So the day came where the orphans were welcomed into the office. I didn't want to go at first, being it was a Saturday and I treasure my sleep on weekends more than anything. But I went, and that sparked the beginning of my interest in stuff like this lor.

Some conversations:
Me: "So what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Kid 1: "erm.. Accountant..?"
Me: "Oh kid, trust me, you do not want to be an accountant.." and told him everything bad about the accounting profession.. yea yea bad accountant watever
Me: "So looking at your hobbies, you like to talk and read.. oh and you're really good in english.. what do you want to be when you grow up?" (hoping to hear the answer lawyer)
Indian Kid 2 grinning: "Accountant!"
Me: "Whyyyyy?"
Kid 2 doesnt answer..
Me: "Ok erm, do you know what a lawyer is..?"
Kid 2 shakes head..
I chuckle at myself for expecting a 14 year old kid to know what a lawyer is before proceeding to tell him (actually should they be knowing what a lawyer is ar?)
In the end, ALL the kids wanted to be accountants... -.-

So back to my kid teaching activity last sunday, we were to read Peter and Jane to kids. The kid I was assigned to was 12 years old and she couldn't read really basic words like where, there, with.. etc. Le sigh. I spent 1 and half hours going through 2 pages of Peter and Jane with her, it really wasn't enough. Maybe we should prolong the studying hours hmm.. She was willing to learn though. I'm not sure what to do if she rejected me. then i'd feel really sad :( But, so far it has been smooth and personally rewarding , i hope i'll still have time for it once i start work! *fingers crossed*
oh want to share something! :) enjoy

oh oh, will be going to singapore to see Lady GAGA in the flesh this weekend!! ah nong and I will be in the moshpit dancing until our legs break! (chinese saying for really tired legs). spent 2 days shopping in sg wang to find the right outfit for the concert. In the end gave up cause too time consuming and dangerous - 4 floors with 10 little boutiques on each floor all selling clothes for RM25!!! I ended up buying bags of unrelated stuff.. and shopping alone is really sien! *misses sisters* I can foresee myself buying clothes for the kids I work with soon,, all the clothes are so colourful and pwetty!
