Sigh, I have to work this weekend. Can you believe it? Tomorrow I have to run some interviews with kids relating to a current project that we are having. I guess the problem would be the fact that it's my first time and it will be done in Malay. For those who know me would know how bad my Malay is. So I do hope that I don't screw it up.. damn scared ok....
Another thing is my report. I've been writing it for almost two weeks now and it's yet to finish! I can't take it! It's been dragging for too long and I have not been reading much of it. Sigh, but I do aim to finish it today.. probably would start a bit later since it's afternoon and I don't like to work in the afternoon...
There's so many things that I need to follow up later today. Need to call this person and that person to arrange for the interviews later on. Sigh... why do I have to work on weekends lei?????

Singapore training
Was in Singapore for a week for training cum vacation from 15-Jan to 21-Jan. It was great. Been working for a Singaporean company since end of last year and they planned for me to go for the training beginning of the month.

Excited
Yay! I'll be going to Singapore tomorrow. I have no idea what to except re the training, but I figure I'll enjoy myself no matter what. I do hope that I won't be stuck at work most of time and not able to hang out with my friends :( then that would be saddening.
This weekend is really tight for me. It's 920am not and I'm already up! I need to clear my room (and PACK for the trip) so that the air cond guys can do what they want. Oh ya, I never did mention, did it? My air cond konked out on me about more than a week back and with my room with no fan whatsoever, it's really hot and stuffy!

Thoughts at the start of the YEAR
I can't believe it! The year passed me by so fast... It's now a brand new year at a brand new place with brand new challenges to face. Am I excited? I'm not sure. I do wonder if I am.
Certain people asked me about my resolution for the year. My response? I don't do resolution. Why? Because I know I won't follow it through. I am not the kind of person who is very resolute in what she does. I do as things comes my way, that's me and it's very hard for me to change it, although I know I should. But then again, oh well :)
This year will definitely be a challenging year for me, for the fact that I am in an entirely new field in which I need to tackle. Do I take up the challenge? I am trying to, though things can certainly be overwhelming right now. Do I concede? I am trying not to, because though things are different, it doesn't mean that I can't do it right?
One thing is that in this job, I do get to travel, be it within Malaysia or even overseas. There's still alot of things that I am quite blur being in this company, but I am taking things in stride, being myself and taking up things and challenges that I can. But being in a small company allows me to learn more I guess, we shall see :)
There are times when I do feel so tired from everything that I don't feel like updating my blog. I shall try to update as often as I could. But sometimes it does feel like there isn't anyone who checks my blog out :( A bit disappointing. Sometimes I think I should actually stop blogging... just a thought.
This year is deemed as a challenge year for me. Why do I say that? It's because I feel that both my work life, church life and personal life is being challenged. Work as in, new job, new situation and new things. As for church, I may be taking up new role, as a teacher to the teens!! Oh wow, am not entirely sure if I can take up the challenge but I shall try. This really test you to the maximum eh.. such a big responsibility. Also, I'll be part of the core committee for the youth and teens too, in planning and setting up activities for them. Another one is worship leading. I am not sure if I am capable of all these things, but I am willing to try.
Personal life, there's a lot of things happening right now that I am not sure if it is going the direction that I want it to be. Really do have to sit down and seek God in terms of direction. But it's a bit hard given that I can't seem to even find a quiet place to place my focus on. Sigh..
Frankly speaking, I am worried that I am not able to juggle work with church life, and that is my biggest concern. It's not about just serving, but I see it as placing God first in my life. My priority has always been God and hence, I don't want it to change just because I am in a new job. Such a dilemma sometimes, but it really do test your faith in that sense, to be able to focus and see what your ultimate decision is. I do hope that this job serve to draw me closer to God rather than pulling me away.
I have certain plans in which I want to execute and today proved to be a good day when I shared this thought with my friend. She gave me such sound advice that it really got me excited over it! hahah.. can't wait to really sit down and do up what is required.
This Saturday would be a working day for me, sigh..... so sad huh!!! But what to do, honey moon days at new job has ended. I believe my workload will increase dramatically once I come back from Singapore's training. I can only pray.....

Start of a new YEAR
The start of the new year was amazing! I spent it with an Aussie and two Singaporean, all whom are close to me and we've done amazingly well catching up with each other. I had such a great time and though the holiday is short, I've done a lot of things too.
I managed to get some lovely clothes for a wedding that I have to attend on 1st itself. I didn't really set out to shop but hey, it was worth it buying the clothes. It will do for future weddings as well as dinners :) Now it's just a matter of getting shoes and bag for meself. Thank God I don't have to dress formal to work, so it's cool :)
Went to become chi mui at my friend's wedding, Ooi and Yen Fen. IT was GREAT! We tortured the heng tai and the bridgeroom as well.. hahaa... but they were really good sport and it was really really cool :) When we were up 2nd floor, just before Ooi gets Yen Fen, we made him sing Unchained Melody (revised version) and it was sooo hilarious and sooo cute! The couple were soo sweet together and I'm so glad to be a part of this joyous occasion. I really to thank God for such union and that May GOd continue to bless them abundantly :)
Although I didn't manage to rest much but I am thankful for the catching up with friends. Will put up some photos later on to share with ya all :)
Bettter head to sleep now, since it's late and it's time to go back to work tomorrow :( Do hope traffic is not massively crazy....
HAPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

The Sleeping Dictionary
I was just lazing around on Saturday night when the movie "The Sleeping Dictionary" came onscreen. I have read some reviews on it previously on the newspaper and found it interesting, but being the forgetful me, did not pursue to watch it. Nonetheless, with my initial interest in it, I've decided to watch it. And truly, it is quite interesting. I sat there watching it till past 1 at night with my mom, so there you go (plus my mom seldom watch english movies). Whether it's fictional or not, it does open up my eyes to see the beauty of Sarawak.
I'm not good at writing review and thus I will not pursue it here. But here's the sypnosis that I've managed to find:
Sypnosis:
In the 1920's, a young British officer journeys to a remote jungle outpost, where he encounters some unusual local customs: a beautiful young woman is assigned to ostensibly tutor him in the native language, but it becomes clear that she is some kind of army-allotted concubine. When the officer falls in love with the woman, both the military and the local tribe are thrown into turmoil.

The Greatest Advice
THE GREATEST ADVICE
- Rick Warren, the Purpose Driven Life
Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Ms./ Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Ms. /Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
God is good all the time!
