Hiatus... The Fault with Picasa Web.

Notice how I tried to imitate John Green with the title of this blog post? "The Fault With Our Stars"? Ring a bell? lame i know... nevermind.

The whole point with this blog post is to explain my long long hiatus from blogging. I solely blame PICASA web for it. As you all know by now, i have been using picasa web for uploading my blog photos. It was a marvelously convenient way for me to blog & post my photos from my phone to my blog. Yeah... those were the days

Picasa web back in 2014 suddenly went  crazy on me. It decided to NOT function with my Internet Explorer browser. Big SIGH! I couldn't upload pictures and everytime I tried, picasa would hang on me. Talk about a trust worthy friend ditching on you... *Sobs*

Anyway, it wasn't until early March 2015 that I found out the problem. It was because Picasa would only function with Google Chrome... and not Internet Explorer... SIGH!! (Correct me if i'm wrong). So anyways, I got a new computer with Google Chrome installed. And my problems were OVER.. Yay!

So back to blogging I am!

Stay tuned for more updates :) 

Trust in Love N Life

This month, the last month of 2012 has been a month of many many weddings.
Of late, I have started to develope a crush on FD and now that we're not working together anymore, I seem to be missing him more.

Pathetic, I know!

At this point in life, I suppose time has taught me many good lessons.
1) Never tell a guy you like him unless he tells you first/ or shows that he likes you and wants to chase you.

2) Always keep your feelings to yourself. Don't ever share details with people who are within the same circle.

3) Never fall for someone you work with :(

4) Use your head when your heart is telling you otherwise. Always listen to your head.

5) Self-pity is always there - get over it and move-on

yeah, not the average advice... but all the above have come from painful and embarassing lessons I never wish for anyone to go through. But through them, can I see the light and to never repeat those in the future.

In referrence to WongFuProduction's latest short mini-series, "When It Counts" - on YouTube, I say the girl should just keep it to herself, no matter how badly she wants him to like her back. Been there, and got burnt. Won't be going there ever again.

FD, if ever you get to know, I really did like you. I hoped at the time, that you could be mine and loved me, but I know this would never be. And I'm trying to get you out of my system. I know that with time I will be free from the thought of you.

I wish you happiness.

I wish myself happiness, the kind that is for ever. Right now, I really do feel sorry for myself. I can fantasize about us being together as a couple. It will remain a fantasy.

Who am I kidding?? We can never be, except for when I dream.

I can only pray that you to have loved me.

Lesson Learned

Never take things lightly. Never take things for granted. Today I got the reply from MOA regarding my submission of a poster presentation. It got rejected.

Sigh! I took things too lightly. I didn't put enough effort into the abstract and this is the outcome of it. I don't take rejection very well. Damn.

I know that others didn't even bother to submit any this year, but I did. I bothered. I wanted to keep my record. Yet, it was done half heartedly.

I admit, yes, I half-heartedly did the submission. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect this sort of reply.

I would come back better and stronger! That's a promise. I should be more careful next time. I should never take things so lightly - EVER.

Now, how do I face having to tell the others who actually know about this? Where to hide my face?? Sigh. When you get knocked down, you get right back up! (You hear me)

Of Birthdays and Presents

Today's Mum's Birthday! Happy Birthday Mum! We love you. We went for lunch at Salsas Restaurant today. As usual the lunch was great and dessert was especially special today! Tiramisu with vanilla ice-cream! Super-nice!

It had been raining the whole week this week. But today, today... it was shinning brightly. Not a rain-drop insight! woo hooo !!

Hope Mum enjoyed her Birthday today!
Check-out the presents we got her...

I got her the yellow wrapped package behind, dad got her the thing right infront, and bro made all these possible :)

Skype tonight too!

We love you MUM

Mixed feelings

Today I was happy to donate RM500 to my church. It felt good to do charity.

Then later that evening, dunno what made me check. I found out that I had a speeding fine of RM 150. Bummer! But I guess I knew the day I committed the offence. Kinda saw the policeman under that bridge.

So the offence took place somewhere in Kuala Kangsar. Hmmm... Perak!

Oh well....

I deserve better!

Just love the above statement. "I deserve BETTER!"

I deserve better than to be compared to a staff nurse
I deserve better than to settle for second best
I deserve better than to become a second wife
I deserve Better!
I deserve someone better than you.

I hate myself for needing help
I hate being the damsel in distress
I hate the fact that you're always there to help me
I hate that I feel safe when you're around
I hate to be second best
I hate that I have no one to call my own
I hate that I don't have someone all to myself

I deserve better than to feel this way

I know I am better than this
I know I am better
I know I deserve better

I just hate it when you treat me nice
I just hate it that I can't treat you better
I'm just afraid I'll get broken hearted
I hate that I'm just running away

I know I deserve better
I hate that I like you helping me
I hate that I want you to be there for me
I hate that you'll never be mine
I hate that you'll never be able to say what I want to hear
I hate that this will have no happy ending

I deserve better than to suffer thinking about you
I deserve better than this
I deserve better, someone much better who can and will love me openly.

I deserve better than you

I think I know what love is?

I think I know what love is?... but i still end this statement with a (?)

Something happened to me or rather someone's gestures towards me made me think. I actually felt something. And it reminded me of having this feeling before. That was in 2007. (i side track... sorry... let me start again)

I think I know what love is... or what it means to love someone. It means to want to protect that someone or try your best to constantly make that someone happy. (not in a give-laughing-gas-nitric oxide kinda way)

It's different when you watch it happen between two people and when you are the actual person receiving that 'love'. (okay, i feel gross using the word 'love' here.. for obvious reasons that is taboo....so i'll substitute with 'kindness')


I was surprised that subject 6 was so open about it. I mean, there were people withnessing the moment, and yet he did it. That made the other people start teasing even more. I was caught dumb-founded. And Embarressed!! If i didn't have my surgical mask on, people probably would have seen me blush. I honestly, I didn't want to do it either... and luckily for me, he did me a favour by insisting on not giving me that task.

Alas, after much teasing, I couldn't stand it anymore (the teasing)... and eventually took up that task (just to shut the mouth of the idiot who was teasing). Now, both my arms and hands are all sore. ~muscle ache~

this whole "protecting me" gesture has reminded  me of the 2007 incident... of which i really thought i'd forgotten for good... then this thing happened and brought back memories... and that 'feeling'

I suppose subject 6 just felt that he was protecting me AS A SISTER/COLLEGUE... (i really really hope so!) and not as something else coz he knows i know that he's married.

The Last Day of the Year 2011

Time certainly flies! Here I am now, at the last few minutes of 2011, reminising on the year that was, the year that has.. and the year that is to end.

I look back and feel so grateful for this year, as many things good and wonderful has happened to me. I also take-in the not so good as a learning curve and a step FORWARD :) with much positivity!

So Year 2011 in a summary has brought me many things to me thankful for:-
1. Getting masters
2. Getting to work back on the island
3. Getting me new friends in a new working environment
4. Having great bosses.. and running away from not so great ones
5. Got a new car
6. Got new phone/phones
7. Got new cupboards
8. Got new IKEA cupboards
9. Got to travel KL, Ipoh
10. Got to meet-up with old friends (wedding, ipoh)

I thank GOD for all the wonderful things that has happened to me this year.
I am grateful of all the things that has come my way.
Mostly, I am grateful to GOD for my family and friends

May 2012 be equally as wonderful and bring even more joy!

Here's to the new year 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone

My Counter started counting...

Yes, yes, yes... finally after a while, my Nuffnang counter started counting!!
I still remember I was excited about joinning Nuffnang. And then I kept checking to see if my blog was worthy of any visits to be eligible for the Glitterati status... then i was disappointed that it was just an ordinary membership status... and my counter hadn't even started counting...

But i was patient... and i persisted to blog about the things I loved.... and waited and waited...
Soon the moment I'd been waiting for came... My Nuffnang counter started counting! Yippie!!

That day was the 18.10.2011

Althought it was merely RM0.60, still I felt happy... it was as if my blog was reconised for something, on a certain level... to me, it was as if my blog was finally acknowledged as being visible :) hahaa

Till today, the counter's still counting-up the numbers (yay~!)

I know RM2.60 it's much, but still i'm glad that there are all you people out there... you really come to read this blog of mine. Really appreciate it :)

Hugs

11.11.11 Samsung Galaxy Note in Penang

Made sure I woke up early today to get my hands on the new Samsung Galaxy Note @ Queensbay!
Got all excited and with credit card in hand, I went to the event - rhymes!
Ok, ok... at the pit of my stomach I had this sense of disbelieve, that everything was going as planned.
I was worried that there'd be a mad rush for the phone because they were giving free phone covers for the first 50 buyers.

Alamak, I was worried. What if they'd all sold-out before i got there? Btw, I reached at sharp 10.05am when they opened at 10am.

So far so good.

There were 'flies' around but still many phone cases still...

but my 'so far so good' turned-out not to be... and my gut feeling was right. There WAS something that wasn't right.

Other than the phone cover being cheap-looking, it was abt the damn phone itself!
Apparently, the advertisement in the newspaper was so misleading@! $&*%&$##%@%

The salesman at the booth told me that the free phone cover was only for those who signed-up for the phone plan. And they DID NOT sell just the phone, YOU HAVE TO BUY IT WITH A PHONE PLAN!!! O-M-G-!!

I woke-up early for NOTHING!

The guy continued to say that if i wanted just the phone, then i'd have to wait till next week or buy from an authorized Samsung dealer at 1st Avenue.

This was really a WTF situation!

I wanted to eat somebody alive for the MisLeading advertisement! Somebody should be held accountable for this!

I tried calling-up Samsung's careline and they denied everything, saying that the special phone cover give-away was by the telco company, not by Samsung.

Then when i called Digi, they said it was by Samsung! WTF- again!

forget it! I've decided that the blooddy phone cover looks cheap and flimzy, so it's not worth buying a data plan just for that extra phone cover. Besides, the most likely situation is that the so-called crystals would probably just fall off anyway! - given that the crystals are studded all way round the back surface of the phone. So, if you're using the phone often with the note pad and all, the crystals would probably take alot of surface scrapings!

ARgh! Stupid advertisement!

But I still like the phone, though.... gonna get my hands on JUST the phone soon... hopefully.

Yes, like the title suggests - one must be Thick SKin!
If you don't have it yet, well grow some!

I must really try not to take everything personally.

aKa  must be thick skin!

Arrghh, who cares what people think, who cares what people say, who cares what they feel!
I must build thick tall walls to block this all out.

Must must must...

M.U.S.T

Be...


Thick...


SKIN!

Love...

This is to remind myself that I need to LOVE me for who I am.
Feel the love, ya'll :)

My IKEA cushion... LOVE it!

XoXo

Unappreciated

Every morning it's the same routine. Wake-up go to work. Finish work, come home. And the next day, the same cycle continues.

These days, feeling more and more of the strain of going to work. Probably because if the 'environment' i'm in. Don't know how to make things better. Frustrated!

Perhaps the chinese animal prediction for this year for me was somewhat coming true? I'm losing my authority and placing. Need to lie low, keep a low profile this rabbit year. Hmm... food for thought.

Keep telling myself to be patient. What goes around, comes around. Those 'ppl' will have their turn!
ugghhh!! Still need to keep cool! I can feel a change is right round the corner... in the near future... don't know what'll become of me. Must be strong!

I'm going to watch Rango tonight with a friend. Hopefully, i'll enjoy myself and forget all the work-related 'problems' that i have. Huhuhu

Wait for my review :)
