I'm not sure if you know that feeling.

The feeling where everything seems to feel just like yesterday.
The feeling that sends you walking down the memory lane.
The warm, fuzzy feeling that puts a smile on your face.

I was in Velvet last night.
With familiar faces around me.
With really good music.
I had a really good time.

Yeah..I had that feeling last night.
Nothing over the top.
It was just nice.

PS - Sometimes, all you need is one touch. Just one touch.
 

I just attended  an ex colleague's dad's funeral earlier today.
I have to say it's not easy .....even if you don't know the deceased.
Looking at the family, grieving...it just tugs at my heart strings.

We always say that life is short, live it right.
I wonder if we all really walk the talk.
Exactly how many of us really live our life to the fullest?
Exactly how many of us live everyday like it's our last?
Seriously, I'm really trying very hard to live life the way I think is the fullest.
I guess you can say that sometimes I'm confused as to what is the fullest.

Well....
As long as I have the chance to wake up every morning with the sun on my face.
As long as I have the chance to be around the people I love.
As long as I have the chance to tell the people around me how much I love them.
As long as I have the chance to smile and be happy with what I have so far...
I think I've lived life to the fullest.

It's been 5 months! *shocked*
Well...not that shocked actually.
I KNOW that I've neglected my blog. TOTALLY.

So...here I am.
I've got a lappie now so I seriously hope that I will blog on a more regular basis!

So....what have i accomplished in these 5 months?
Too many to mention here! But I'll try.

Let's catagorize my journey in these 5 months.

WORK

There are major changes in my course of work.
To cut a long story short, I've been given the opportunity to grow and at the same time learn new stuff.
Having said that, the change comes with it's fair share of stress and headaches.
But i'm happy to say that I'm coping and so far so good. ( I hope )
Then I have my bunch of ever active "children"!
They are my greatest source of strength at work. *laugh*

LIFE

I finally hit the big 3 this year!
It's really no big deal actually but somehow, I do find some changes in me.
Had sort of a 3 day celebration. It's good to have friends around you huh?
Well....not when they make you drink some PEPPER VODKA and insist that they  
give me a birthday ride in the round bungy thingy at Clarke Quay.
But I have no complains.  I have good people around me. *smile*

Then I did something out of the ordinary.
I took 1.5 months of unpaid leave. Yup....1.5 months.
And it was good. Really good.
Good for my body. Good for my health. Good for my soul.
Well...good for my siblings too! Cause I'm like a maid to them! 
I cook, clean, wash the toilet too! BUT.....I loved every moment of it.
Well...I won't complain much because I got to travel. 
I did Macau ( this is for free! Teambuilding! Hah ), HK ( overdosed of it actually ) and Cambodia!
I loved Cambodia! It was beautiful... *in bliss*

LOVE

I get loads of love!
From everyone around me! All the time, every waking moment!
Everyone except "that" special someone.
So no, I am still not seeing anyone. *laugh*
I am NOT fussy. ( everyone, stop saying that I am )
It's just that....I dunno...I cannot explain it either actually!
Life works in funny ways, that I have learned.
So I'm just gonna sit back and let life unfold right before my eyes! 

I've said this a million times but I shall say it again.
Life is good for me now. Really good.
I have everything to be thankful for.
I'm grateful that He listens to me every night.

I have so much more to say here but at the same time, I don't want this to be an overbearing post.
So I shall leave it for now.
And I will be back here again! I promise.

Tahdah...

PS - I'm watching Private Practice now and I like it. A lot actually.




 

Hey.

I'm quite impressed with myself.
Blogging again after a week is not too bad huh?

Life is good.
Seriously, it is. 
But of course, nothing lasts forever. I know that.

I had the privillege of spending time with my close ones the past week.
Well, looking at the fact that I work odd hours with weird off days, 
it's pretty tough to tie down specific days to meet my buddies.
So when the opportunity comes up, I'm just thankfully happy.

Had dinner with the gang last Friday. 
Mr. Woodcock couldn't make it because he went for a short getaway to KL with his girlie. 
So it was just us - the usual bunch. 
Oh, with Mr. G as well. He was back in town for the weekend. ( with a "purpose" )
We were all quite stuffed when Mr G went like : 

" Eh, would you rather be in a tub filled with rats or filled with shit?" 

You should have seen all our faces. 
We just had dinner! A good one for that matter!

I very quickly went " Definitely shit. I hate rats! "
Then one by one, all the answers came out around the table.  

Mr G : " Then would you swallow horse piss or your own vomit?"

By this time, we were all cracking up, trying to think of the best possible answer! 
It was a good night, really. 
Though I didn't join them for drinks there after, it was still good.

Of course, time with the BIMS are good too.
We see each other almost every other day.
The best thing is, we always have something new to laugh about! 
Something new to bitch. 
The word "routine" does not exist in our vocab.

OH, then I had a chalet just this past Tues.
I was drained, tired, exhausted but I was happy.
It was a pretty successful one cos most things turned out well.
I've some pics but it's with one of my "kids" - I'll post them later.

We're hanging out at Mr Wallaby's place again this Sunday.
I'm going to be their cook for the day! 
The gang will come by for dinner and they even requested for their own favourite dish! 
I'm just looking forward to Sunday.

Then of course I have my Bintan trip!! YAY YAY YAY! 
Exactly a week from now.

So, you see.
Life is good. For now.  
Nothing beats being around friends, people you care about .
( Even if it means talking bout shit and piss after dinner ) 
Seriously, it's priceless.

* Notice that I didn't mention a word bout work *
*chuckle*

I'm at work - on my lunch break and hey, decided that maybe I should just blog.

Feeling a little light headed - came down with a minor flu this morning.
Not having a water heater at home is really sometimes quite depressing.
It was raining when I woke up this morning and I was dreading my bath! 
But I can't possibly not bathe and head to work right so yeah, I was like this 
worm "wriggling" in super fast pace when the first few splashes of water hit me! 
By the time I got out of the shower, I was sneezing all the way.

Anyways, back to my subject, " Nostalgic".
I just finished reading Miss Tai Tai's blog.
It brought back memories when I saw the pic of Central Park and everything other pic actually!

Though I wasn't in NY for long, the stay there was definitely memorable.
Walking down the streets would automatically put a smile on your face.
I remember my super duper "walkathon" when I was there! 
I don't think I ever walked so much in my life ever.
But it was good. 
Seriously, you don't know what's in store for just around the corner.
Contrary to what most people say, the Americans are pretty nice actually.
At least to me, that is.
I get greetings and smiles from people on the street. 
Sales staff were pretty decent too.
Even the Hispanic guys behind the sandwich counter was sweet! 
( Well, maybe because I was wearing my very nice robe from the hotel when I grabbed my sandwich )

*sigh*
I'm not sure why I'm feeling NY NY today.
Maybe it's because I'm turning 30 plus I'm prolly down with the Sex and The City syndrome.
* you get the drift ya - 30ish year old women in NY. Endless roller coaster rides - nice.
 
I think I should mark today as Feel Like Running Away to NY Day. *shrugs*

Have a good weekend.
Tahdah.
