Resolutions ^_^

New year = new resolutions. This is the first time i am making resolutions, never thot that one day, i ll be making them too! Hoho :P Lets try!

1. Slimmer and healthier: hope to regain my weight during sec sch (a secret! but i m close to it)
2. Reach new heights in career: to excel in watever i do and to do wat i really love (which i tink is procurement and PR, not only me, ppl ard me tells me i m cut out to do that!)
3. Love my parents and Granny more and more (*mucks~~)
4. Keep in touch with more old frens and extended family
5. Read more books: I have been reading lesser since i work, which is bad and imbalanced.
6. To try and go dating (if there is someone): I have been shutting myself out for 4 yrs and its really time to move on, get a life. If u know me well, u know i hardly talk about wanting to date, coz it wasnt really impt to me, but after so many yrs (u know why), I think i can let go of the past.

Speaking of books.. I am reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom. Hmmm..i love this book. His books are simply written, no chim chim words and long descriptions. Everything, every word and sentence that you read, you must understand and think with your heart. Your heart will lead you to the gist of his book. Must try this book! :)

New Year :)

Its new year soon! The long long wkend is coming at last! :P

Read an article in the newspapers yesterday and came across this phrase that I like, "Every day, we are closer to the day we die". Hmm..a lot of 'flavor' right? It teaches us to treasure every day we have, every hr/min/sec. Life is fragile, recently read in the papers that ppl just die in their sleep. Wah..can u imagine sleeping and not waking up the next day? So sad...every time u say goodnight to ur parents, it could be the last time too....hmmm..so now when i say and kiss them goodnight, i bear-hug them tightly too. I am afraid of losing ppl/things that i treasure. Haha..yah..kissing and saying goodnight has been a habit for 23yrs and its still counting. I guess even when I am married with my own family, I will still make a trip home just to say and kiss goodnight every day! Woohaa..i dun grow up, do i?

Mom went to spa yesterday and told me Jennifer (her fren there) met me last wk (when i was dining with a fren near her shop) and Jennifer told her that I am look so young, not like 23. Hmm...*pondering* u mean i dun grow old? but i like to remain and look young le, so i do pamper myself a lot > I have an Aunt, who amazingly looks like she is forever 30yrs old only! Not an exaggeration, next time i post her pic on my blog and u can judge for urself! :)

New year comes new resolutions. *pondering*

Happy Boxing Day

Yeah! Its Christmas and over soon...Hahaha..nevertheless, I'm still in a festive mood, coz of the long wkend that is beckoning to me (for New Yr). Wonder how my new yr will turn out...haven made any arrangements yet, and I doubt any arrangment will come to me, coz usually I'm the one who 'date' my frens :P

Was reading Shufen's blog and she wrote this statement (which i had to 'borrow' from her): "我想有些事不强求,顺其自然,不想太多,反而更多惊喜吧。" (Thanks Shufen dear, I love this statement). Hmmm..this is a simple yet deep sentence, which brought me lotsa enlightenment and realization.

Met up with my extended family over Xmas eve/Xmas itself. Wow..I'm truly impressed by my network now. I realized that almost everyone ard me knows everyone. How my uncle know my boss, my aunt knows blah blah..wow..this is wat i call a big social circle (and a useful one too). I like connections and how ppl connects to one another in work/life. I like ppl who are meaningful in my life and brings me knowledge, and ppl who loves me (hohoho). Hmmm...a small woman with big aspirations > my new yr resolution :)

Jay's song > Bai Se Feng Che > one of my fave songs..nice nice ^_^

Single man VS Single woman

I like these 2 posts, so decided to post and share:

男生没有女朋友的16大好处
1)走在校园中、大街上、宾馆里,可以不慌不忙的去看自己想看的MM,想看就看,看得随便。可以大胆的去和世界上任何一个MM搭讪,不用担心耳朵被扯掉,胳膊被卸掉,或者眼珠子被挖掉。
2)可以不用担心过节如过关,再也不用节衣缩食来储备资金,迎接那些万恶的情人节、圣诞节、她的生日、我的定情纪念日……

4)可以一天不洗脸、一周不洗澡、一月不洗衣,一年不洗车,照样不会受到任何人的任何处罚了。 5)可以想吃什么就吃什么美食,不用担心因为口中气味被拒绝KISS,不用担心体型不好被骂成唐僧的二徒弟了。
6)可以安心上网,在QQ与自己想聊的MM说话。不用为了保住电脑,只能无限伤感的把自己苦心搜集的美女图片送到回收站里了。

14)可和几个伙计踢球踢个痛快而不是被人踢了,可以斗地主斗到半夜而不用担心被关在门外反思了。

Mentally do a count..how many reasons apply to you? Hoho :p

幸福是什么?

I read this from a site, hope to share with my 'readers':

什么叫幸福?

幸福就是当你想拉屎时,找到了一个茅坑,但是却发现那上面已有一个人,你就会觉得他很幸福.

曾经第一次听到电视里面这句对话时,对于那个民工这样对幸福的定义而感到好笑,后来反过来想想,幸福又何尝不是这个意思呢?

幸福是什么?幸福只不过是一种简单的满足.可不管怎么样,人的欲望是无穷尽的,这也就意味着你永远也满足不了,也许那个民工觉得很幸福的人他自己并不感到幸福,反而有可能在抱怨,早不来,迟不来,偏偏这个时候来,我快迟到了............这样一来,我们就会发现,他其实并但不感觉到幸福,反而在抱怨,所以也就引出了另外一个问题,幸福既然围绕在我们和身边,那我们怎么样才能去发现呢?

从一本杂志上看到这么一段话,当每天早晨你醒过来的时候,发现你所拥有的一切都还没有失去,你就会感到幸福,发现你的身体也还完整,你也会感幸福,等等.其实,我觉得幸福不在于你现在拥有什么,身体是否完整,关键的是你是否拥有一颗感恩的心.套用一句话来说,生活中不缺少幸福,而是缺少发现幸福的心.

Tis' the season to enjoy

Its Friday before Christmas. Hohoho..meaning I had to clear work today, else bring work home over the wkend :P Heehee..hard to say..depends on wat activities i have over the wkend bah...

Flipping thru the newspapers, I realized that there are many parties, late-night shopping, new movies etc. Hmmm...happening? Do ppl feel that joy and love is in the air? The skies are getting clear these days, with little/no rain > maybe Heaven knows that Christmas is coming and we need good weather to enjoy the lights and parades. Hmmm..I am beginning to feel the season's warmth and love. Tis' a season to give love and joy and to receive some in return. :)

These days, I am discovering more and more of myself. How weird..as if I din know myself for the past 23 yrs. Haha, but i feel that I have 'elevated' to a new level of self-being. Used to demand a lot, think a lot, and made a lot of unnecessary communication, this caused a bit of destress among my family and frens, as they felt 'overwhelmed' by me. Once a fren remarked that I need too much attention and not all ppl can take it. Being the little girl I was then, I blatantly ignored her words and continue to be who i am.

Nowadays, esp since I stepped into the working world, I realized that a lot of things just won't nicely happen the way I want them to be. Sometimes things cropped up, changes had to be made (even last min) and caused disruption of plans. Did I get angry/fed up? Surprisingly (to my own surprise as well), I did not. Took it quite well and was still quite pleased. I realized that some things are unpredictable, wat will come will come, everyone has their own things to do and its virtually impossible to suit ppl's timing all the time. Communication is must but not necessary everyday. To me, this is growing up. More independent, more objective and understanding. I am adamant not to make the same mistakes again. Even Mommy was proud of me this time! Hahaha!! ^_^

Though i am more mature now, I am still a young girl at heart. Heehee, which means, I am still girlish, bubbly, smiley, cheerful, optimistic and as usual, no bout of unhappy things can make me frown!! Hohohoho :)

Weather & Mood

Weather is wet, rainy, gloomy these days..the rainy season is here. My mood is up-and-down, moody these days...the festive season is here again.

I dun really like Christmas. When i was young, we used to have family gathering on Xmas Eve. As I grow older, the gatherings get lesser. Frens have dates, families have their own activities. Xmas/NY is always alone, or with parents. But sometimes parents wanna re-live their days of dating too, so I must be 'automatic' la.

Looking into the mirror, I realized that my laughter has decreased, smiling face is not that often. Cannot...Evelyn is a happy girl. I must find back the happy cheerful Evelyn.

Enough said. Merry Christmas to all!! Hohoho :)

PS: Will try to continue updating my TW pics over the wkend. Laptop is still crazy... :P
