Updated!

Hello, peeps!

Happy Chinese Ox Year! (ah, my year *grins*) As promised. I'm finally updating this thing! Sue me. It's 2009 and I'm gonna be 24! The clock is ticking.

Yeah, I know I've been MIA for a bit. Blame it on work! Well, I know many of you have heard this from me probably a gazillion times? but once again, I would like to apologize for not being able to join you peeps for the many social activities planned. I feel bad.seriously. I will work out my social bit for '09, i promise.

I've been EXTREMELY busy with work.Gosh, I couldn't emphasize it more with the caps. Yes, work have been taking the life out of me especially with the gloomy economy situation."Oh boy, here she goes again....".I know many of you commented that I don't sound like a 23 . Instead, I sound so much older than my age! wouldn't know if it's an insult or a compliment. Nonetheless, I shall now refrain myself from talking about work.

Let's see. 2008 has past. Like every other years, I've done my part, reflecting.
So, here's a brief recap of 2008:-
  • Stepped into the working world. Trust me. It wasn't that fun after all.
  • Turned from a small town naive girl to a less naive(I would say, i'm a little street smarTER now)
  • Officially started baking and cooking.
  • Turned 23!
  • Met and be friends with Joel Neoh. I must say he's one humble chap, probably one of the nicest young entrepreneurs that I've ever met(:
  • Met Jeff from 98 Degree.
  • Met Alan Yun (:
  • Met Marion Counter
  • Met Mickey and Minnie mouse.
  • Met some overinflated self- importance clients.
  • Learned how to deal with people. Two-faced people, mind you.(Thank you for giving me the experience of working with you)
  • Learned how to handle office politics a little better.
  • Made great new friends from company
  • Stood up for myself
  • Started kick-boxing, latin dance and gym!
  • Started going back and forth into the dating scene.
  • Rejected great opportunities and awesome work offers. (darn, look how dumb i was back then)
  • Learned how to be a bigger person. Now, I finally know what's real forgiveness is like.
  • Learned how to handle stress and anger. Never knew I have that much anger in me till i started working. In need of a retail therapy and maybe an anger management?:P
  • From a direction noob to someone who can give directions. I've never driven so much in my life!
  • Kick start the contact lenses project. One of the highlight of my 2008.
  • Attended 3 weddings and a funeral.
  • Started a blog.
  • Traveled to Indonesia(for mission), Singapore, Hong Kong and Shenzen in a year
  • Owned a Coach bag (:






As for 2009, I want to be a little more optimistic! With optimism, even the hardest challenges would seem easy. So, peeps, be optimistic even with the sluggish economy situation and things will go your way (:

Happy Halloween?

It's the end of the month. I've seriously lost track of time. Working late nights and weekends seem to be the only schedule lately. My mind has been filled with nothing but work. Pathetic huh? i know this is bad but I've been under a whole lot of pressures lately. Coping with the new challenges, the higher expectations and a whole lot of responsibilities. Sometimes, you just wish that your bosses are merciful enough to give you some space to breathe though you can never escape those pressures from them. I guess I've been pushing myself too hard.

Is this really what I want to do in life? Can I really do this? I'm tired.

Yes, i'm feeling rather melancholic right now but i will be fine. I guess it's time for me to take some time off before i find myself worn-out. I need to be still. I need YOUR strength.

Well, that aside. The bright side? The belated dinners! ( i'm not complaining ;p )

The first dinner that made my week was the ultimate birthday dinner.
Thank you for taking the effort to cook! The awesome night filled with not only the complete 3 course dinner (appetizer, pasta and the mouthwatering mini steak!) but also with the jazz performance at alexis after that. Yes, I met jeff from 98 degree!
This was probably the best pressie that a 23 could ever ask for.
you know who you're (:

The second dinner? The halloween cum birthday dinner. Zul, thank you for bringing me to this unique place not only it was filled with a whole bunch of creepy "ghosts" but the place was also equip with a live band. i didn't know "pontianak-s" could sing and play the drum!

That basically sums up the past two weeks. Oh, it's halloween today. ( though i hardly care)

So, happy halloween?


The hot Atilia & the jazz band. Alexis
