A New Day

After 3 months long of being "jobless", I finally started my first day in a new company. The day was not heavy but somehow I left office at 6pm, which is unusual for me!! Looks like I have to get use to working late now. Well, now I can totally understand the phrase "Getting out from your comfort zone needs a huge effort!" Hopefully, I will get use to it real soon. =)

Yesterday was a day where I did nothing, intentionally, so that I won't be striving hard for the year of 2010! This is one of the superstitious practice of mine. =) I picked up this practice as I remembered reading an article that says on auspicious day or important dates, one needs to spend the day leisurely - welcoming the positive and good energy into your life! Though it is not scientifically proven but there is no harm practising it, right? =) I'll keep you posted if it is working!

Another good news to share - my friend has delivered a baby girl today! Both mother and baby are doing fine now. Can't wait to see them! It has been quite a while since I last held a newborn. Now am wondering which lovely name will the parents name her.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the well wishes (no matter it's via SMS or FB)!! =) God bless...

The Big Day

The long awaited big day of my family has finally come to an end. Well, it's not an end afterall as it is just a new beginning for a lovely couple. They are now all set to face the new phase of their life, welcoming the new journey of happiness and blessings from all.

The memorable day was witnessed by relatives and close friends. A big thank you to all as they have made the auspicious event a memorable & successful one. With the joyous laughter, delicious food and most of all the presence of far-away relatives, the bride and groom were deeply touched. They were filled with happy tears though it was a tiring day. All these memorable and heartfelt moments were captured, and yes, I am still waiting for the 'end-products'. =)

Well, a great toast to all who has sent their wishes! Also, a sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this big day of the year! =) May the new couple lives happily ever after......God Bless!

Crush

Having a crush or being crushed? These are 2 extreme feelings. Most of us have the experience of having a crush on someone. It is usually sweet and lovely to quietly like someone; sacrificing yourself to do things to please them without them knowing, some are into writing romantic messages on scented little papers to their crush signing off as anonymous. You feel happy and satisfied when you see your crush smiling away reading your messages or just a simple word of thank you from them.

However, when time passed by, the feeling of having a crush on someone becomes tiring. It involves a lot of effort to take note of the other party likes and dislikes. Apart from putting so much effort to keep them happy always, it hurts when your crush does not notice you at all! Plus, if you find out that your crush does not appreciate for what you have done, you felt as if the sky has fallen! Suddenly you feel that you are surrounded by darkness and unhappiness.

At one point, you wished your crush would know that all these while you were always there for them but the thought of confessing might ruin the current friendship. You are afraid that you will make a fool out of yourself by admitting that you have a crush on them. These are holding you back from reality. Somehow you manage to persuade yourself to stay where things are, secretly enjoying the pleasure - even just a glimpse of your crush or hearing their voice could brighten up your day!

Should you develop more your feelings towards your crush? If you are up for it, just a gentle reminder that not everyone will end up living happily ever after! It's your call whether to be a crush or being crushed!

Rain Rain Go Away

Dear Miss Rainy

You have been staying around for quite sometime and your presence is much appreciated. We treasure your good will of cooling off the heat from Mr Sunshine. However, if you overdo it, dropping by everyday in the evening, you will bring unwanted troubles. There will be heavy traffic in town and flashflood at poor drainage roads. The outdoor lovers are stranded & the gloomy weather made us less motivated.
As you are always accompanied by Mr Thunder and Miss Lightning, their stern manner frighten us occasionally. For times when your companions are angry, their loud roars and acute bolt could even damage our electrical goods.
Well, I personally do enjoy your presence a lot, just a small request - please visit my place during the day & not at night. It will be a great help to me! Since you have visited us for quite a while, it's time for you to pay attention to places that need you more. If you do miss us, feel free to pay us a visit every now and then. We thank you for being with us during drought & whenever we need you.
I hope that you could hear my pleads & do not take this post personally. Remember that I enjoy your singing in the car & I always do! =)

~Treasuring You Always~

Sorry & Thank You

"Sorry" and "Thank You" are the most common words said in this universe. It is statistically proven that the Brits say approximately 12 times of "Sorry" within an hour. These words are embedded in almost every sentence. It is too often used that it has become a habit. Similarly "Thank You" has become a habit as well.

I personally think this is a good practice and Malaysians should adopt it! I seriously think that people in our country need to be educated on manners. They act bluntly and also slanderous in verbal. This hit me when I started noticing people around me do not apologize or be thankful for things that happened. It is as if for a moment, either they mouth has been sealed or they have totally forgotten the existence of those words.
For instance, last week when I was walking towards the cafeteria, a lady accidentally stepped on my foot and she did not even stop to apologize. She just walked away leisurely as if nothing had happened!! I was so furious that such an educated lady working in a MNC can't utter the simple word "Sorry" when she has done something wrong.
Another instance was today, a colleague of mine bought some delicacies to share with us in office. As soon as she arrived, she offered the steaming hot dumplings to her colleagues. They stretched their hands for the dumplings and were happily eating. After filling up their stomach, they just wiped their mouth and turned away. I was patiently waiting for the precious word but my jaw dropped when they just happily returned to their cubicle after enjoying the delicious dumpling!!
I am wondering is it that tough to blurt out these elementary words? It is actually an effortless action to be apologetic and express our gratitude. Saying "Sorry" and "Thank You" is as easy as ABC! If I can do it, so can you! So start embracing this positive habit and you'll eventually help to change the people surrounding you! =)
