Tiring weekend...

I have been troubled by a stomach upset since Sat afternoon. Feeling rather weak physically but warm at heart as hubby's been really sweet though I have been throwing a little bit more tantrums than usual. He gave me tummy rubs when I whined in pain. Gave me hugs and pat me to sleep while watching TV at night. Bring me water even when I growled at him for not remembering to do so when he took hiss drinks, heehee. Felt really loved :D

Been sleeping alot for the last 2 days to recuperate the lost sleep and energy spent at work. It has been both mentally and physically exhausting week...really need more motivation and an energised physique to face the week ahead, or rather at least till the next big break at Chinese New Year.


Thought of the day:
Laugh when you can,apologize when you should,and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life's too short to be anything…but happy.

Got back from my two weeks holiday in States with sweetheart. It was lovely to be spending time with him and getting closer to each other. We had so little time together since it's a LDR. The only thing was that it was a funny winter and it dint snow! So we couldnt have a white christmas and sweetheart couldnt bring me skiing. We had a simple christmas dinner in A's room and just spend a quiet christmas unwrapping each other's presents and watching tv. haha. I think it dint matter what we do now that we're together physically. :)
After christmas, we went to New Jersey, New York City and Washington DC. Enjoyed myself! It was all new refreshing and nice. Washington DC is especially beautiful, mostly low rise buildings, many historic buildings. And clean too. Stayed in Buffalo the rest of my trip, just hanging around with A's frens and enjoying each other's company. We went Toronto to meet Edward and June too. Had a great time. We around hunting for Coach bags too, requests of the gals. A was very nice and drove me at least 5 times to different places to look for the bags cos we couldnt seem to find the models tat the gals wanted.

Busy week...

It's been an extremely tiring week for me...meetings the whole day...
even on my birthday, I had to work till 7pm...

it's was pretty uneventful, given that I had hit the Big "3-0" this year. Din feel anything except more challenges ahead :S

Had a nice little dinner with hubby at Crab Shack, recommended by Makan King. Felt it was only so-so, over-rated I guess. The crabs weren't as fantastic as it seemed.

I was rather disappointed when we were on our way home, I was expecting something more from hubby. Even as we reached home, I secretly wished that he had planned a little surprise. Which he did : ) he bought a little cake and sang the birthday song for me in the toilet hahaha...while I was removing my makeup :P it was sweet of him tho it was a copied idea from me for his birthday ;)

Had received lots of well-wishes from frens, am quite surprised to receive birthday wishes from those whom I least expected to remember, a pleasant surprise indeed. Last but not least, a good friend of mine gave me one of the most memorable gift for this year. Instead of a real gift, he made up for it with a sweet, thoughful action. It was pleasantly surprising indeed...

Resolution for 2007

never gave this much thought all these years...basically I am a happy-go-lucky person. Just take things, good or bad as it comes/falls upon me :) If good, be happy. If bad, cry abit and moved on...very Ah Q spirit I think.

I wonder if its time that I seriously start thinking abt the year ahead. I am a poor planner person, hate to think too much cos' usually things dont happen anyway. Lame excuse, I guess...I know all the necessary skills it takes to execute it just plain laziness... :S

I learnt from somewhere that we should start from smaller things first or break the big plans into smaller goals and achieve in stages...

How to be more disciplined in planning ahead?

till next time...heehee

How I celebrated my New Year

This year is rather special, I celebrated new year on the sea :) . Darling and I drove to Msia to a Kelong off Sibu Islands. Initially we were worried that there wld still be floods at Kota Tinggi, luckily the water subsided as claimed by the papers.

3 days on the kelong, doing nothing but eat, sleep, fish, laze around...the tranquility of the place made me felt that days seemed longer than it was in the cities. The breeze blowing in the face, numbing every part of the body. I relished the simple pleasure of casual chitchats with the fishing kakis. Not forgetting the adraline rush of having a fish hooked up when minutes went by.

Lessons can be learnt too: sometimes I was not patient enough or maybe my skills was not good enough to ensure that the fish really took the bite, halfway thru winding the reel, some of the biggest fish managed to struggle off the hook. Haiz, cld feel a sense of disappointment. But quickly I recovered and drop the hook for another catch. The second time round, I made sure that I paid enough attention to the fish taking the bite and waited long enough before hookup again. Most of the time, I am rewarded with another slightly smaller catch if not a bigger fish again...thus, we should never be dishearten whenever we met with obstacles or failed in our task, learnt the lessons and get back into it, u wll never know what you will get, it cld be even better that what you have lost.

Lazing around in an area of not more than 5000sqft might seem boring to most of us. But it is a good time to rest, reflect on the past year and decide whats going forward in the year ahead.
