It's already 2021

With a blink of an eye, its already 2021.

I could say I'm amazed that I've survived marriage life ! *pat on the back* 

Thank you, Mavourneen for being patient with me and I hope you'll be patient for more years to come... And grow old too !

My 2020 resolution, I could summarized as follows:

1. Travel MORE

Due to the pandemic of COVID-19 that has occurred in our country, with first 3 months of lock down and with few stages of MCOs' until end of 2020.  We've managed to fly back to hometown for almost a week and come back home.  I could say, a couple of days later, MCO happened.  During the MCOs' days, we have only managed to do 1 staycation of 2 nights in the heart of KL (yea, during our anniversary). 

2. Spark Joy

My husband own a small unit of condo in KL.  A one bedroom condo. I love it because its easier to managed, no nonsense impulsive buying (so guilty on it. Especially when I stayed at my parent's), 

3. Learn to cook

Seriously.  My husband is a better cook than me. 

4. Be better, be thankful

I believe he has been very supportive.  He whispers his love and motivations to me.

NEXT, what's my goal for 2021 ?

1. Be Thankful

Need constantly to remind myself that I'm blessed with people around me.  May be bit of 'Spark Joy' for toxic & non-toxic people in my life...

2. More Activities with Mavourneen

I do enjoy walks and workouts with my other half.  As he make it more intense and fun.

This year will be a fruitful year too, and I know it !!

2021, here we come !

2019

Happy 2019 peeps !

Image by pintrest.com

I guess it's never too late to wish that... (checking the calendar... Yea, still January)
More goals for this year, I guess...

To workout consistently
As for now, I have badminton activity very Friday night.  Not bad eh ?  Different group tho... As my ladies are busy with their job.  Kind of doing upper body during the day & lower body during the evening.

Travel more !
For this year, I think I already have plans for the 1st quarter of the year.  I mean from February until April 2019.

Get a job ?
I have not been working since October 2018.  I've been helping my mom on cleaning up (KonMari mode ON!  Spark Joy~) around the house.  It does takes time to do it as we do have disagreement on the arrangements of the furniture, things, etc etc.

Get my blog done
I think I've been saying this for quite awhile... (Damn you procrastination !)  have few blog been typed on and have yet to post it as I write it half way through.  Yes, I'll finish it before getting myself to work !

KonMari method for people
I guess cutting off people who gives you no "spark joy" was a good thing.  Well, see how it goes...

Most of all, have fun & be safe !

13 years young achievement - Billie Eilish

Videos are from Billie Eilish Youtube channel, you may click this link

Billie Eilish - You Should See Me in a Crown

Her chorus, I like that part (in highlighted)

"You should see me in a crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by, one

One by one by

You should see me in a crown

Your silence is my favorite sound

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by, one

One by one by (one)"

Somewhat it feels so powerful, strong...

I do not know what's the right word for it.

I wish I have that power (Ahahaha)

If you a Sherlock Holmes BBC fans, the line “you should see me in a crown” was said by Sherlock Holmes' nemesis Moriarty :

"In a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king.  And honey, you should see me in a crown."

Start to know her existence via FBE Teens react to Billie Ellish.

After knowing she wrote one of her song when she's was 13 !

Makes me feel that I haven't accomplished anything in life yet and there she is, composing her first song, "Ocean Eyes".

I need to work harder.

It's my first time having breaks before continuing/searching for another job.

It feels weird.

I guess that is how the previous offshore crew having it after their crew change.

I guess this time, it's so-call "me time" & I do not know where to start.
No job also means by...
Less entertainment outing.
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Michelle Eliza Johnny Teo

Never thought that my last event is going to be a night that I would remember for my entire life.

It's the day I've lost a joyful soul, a good friend and an awesome colleague, Michelle Eliza Johnny Teo.

I knew her back in Johor Bahru as she's one of the Preservation Engineer.

A hot engineer with class & style.

As you would not see any woman engineer wearing a coverall and holding a Prada handbag.

Only her.

Mark on the 25th Feb 2017 , it was the day 

I really miss you so much, Michelle...

God must have love you so much.

Knowing the world is not meant for you but to be at God's place.

Tower 3 Firedrill

2 years in this company.
We never had a fire drill exercise.
Until today.

One of the colleague got too excited for the drill

Thank fully, no one panicked.

It was the opposite, they're seems happy with the drill.

Fire drill = stop work in commence.

Its a way down from level 20...

After we reach at god-knows-what-floor-was-that, there was a firetruck and ambulance right outside the building.

Yes, I was amazed by it.

Firetruck !

Triage Area

Its a looooooong walk to the assembly area.

Makes me think, "Dammit, I've should done my exercise regularly"

Anyway, it was a fun walk with Ms Rachel. :)

The one on the right with the grey blouse, Ms Rachel

Reached at the assembly point, and did the head count for my section.

This is how I did the head count.... Kidding.

Took us around 45 minutes - an hour for them to release us from the assembly area.

They gave us treat after the fire drill

I know it might sound so weird, is indeed a fun fire drill day :D

Too many things happens within these past few months.

2. Pamper myself more... (i.e. spa, threading, facial, wax, eyelash extension?, etc.)
3. MORE vacations (over-the-seas or domestic)

Eye Twitching

Source : http://healthable.org/beautiful-secrets-for-beautiful-eyes/

It really irritates me when my left eye start twitching.
Do you ever felt the same experience as I do ?
I notice that my eyes start twitching whenever I'm having stress mode 
or during the time of the month.

Until yesterday, I'd google on "Eye Flinch" and found out few reasons on this matters:

• Stress (might be)
• Tiredness (I don't feel tired...)
• Eye strain (Hmmm... Does smart phone counts?)
• Caffeine (I dont't take coffee...)
• Alcohol (I don't drink...)
• Dry Eyes (Sometimes)
• Nutritional Imbalance (HOLY !!!)
• Allergies (Nahhh)

My conclusion is that, 5 out of 9 the reasons my left eye keep twitching.
I guess I should to change on my food consumption and exercise more.

A self reminder...

And found out something fun to read about eye twitching!
The title itself is already catchy...

Problems

Image by gq.com

At times I just do not get it...

If someone who has problems with me, 

why can't they face me?

I'll listen.

I have my justification.

It will remain unsolved if it's not dealt sooner.

It's just not right...

You Give Me Something

Someday I might know~ my heart.

Sometimes when people do give you something,

either you mistakenly misunderstood them

or

you didn't notice what's their intention(s)

Hmmm...

Complicated.

-----

James Morrison - You Give Me Something

Source: azlyrics.com

You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep

For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean

I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart

But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

Ku Mohon

Ku Mohon by Shiela Majid.

Some what the song really tells my feelings...

Asking guidance from The Almighty.

And wish that I have a powerful voice as her.

So I can sing my heart out too !

Shiela Majid - Ku Mohon

Source : ilirik.com

Setiap hari ku 

Mohon agar Kau sentiasa
Memberiku ketenangan dalam hati... kekuatan
Menempuhi segala dugaan yang mencabar ini
Pasti punya erti-Nya
Engkau beriku harapan
Menjawab segala persoalan
Hadapi semua dalam tenang

Dengan merasa kesyukuran
Ku doa Kau selalu
Mengawasi gerak-geriku
Berkatilah ku penuh rahmat dari Mu

** Oh Tuhan terangkan hati dalam sanubariku
Untuk menempuhi segala hidup penuh cabaran ini

Oh Tuhan ku berserah segalanya kepadamu
Agar jiwaku tenang dengan bimbingan Mu selalu

Ada kala ku merasa hidup ini seperti kaca
Jikalau tidak bersabar
Hancur berderailah akhirnya
Tabahkanlah hatiku
Melalui semua itu... Ooh...
Kuatkanlah
Cekalkanlah diriku

Repeat **

Curahkanlah nikmat Mu pada hidupku

Repeat **

A Lesson In Psychology

A Lesson In Psychology

When someone laughs too much,
Even on stupid things,
Be sure that person is Sad deep inside...

When someone sleeps a lot,
Be sure that person is Lonely...

When someone does not talk much,
'n If he talks, he Talks Fast,
Be sure the Person Keeps Secrets...

When someone Can not Cry,
Be Sure that Person is Weak...

When someone Eats in an Abnormal Way,
Be sure that Person is Always in Tension...

'n Finally..
When someone Asks about you,
Although that person May Be busy,
Be sure that someone Loves You.. !

Hair Cut

Year of Water Dragon.

Somehow it reminds me of Hatori Sohma from 'Fruits basket'.

Encouragement from a very important person, suggested that I should get a  new hair cut.

And I did it.

This shoulder length haircut.

It does makes me feel like a new person.

A new life.

The new me.

Less emotions.

Less stress.

And I could care less about people.

And my hair used to be this long.

Better Late than NEVER !!

Happy 2012 !

Year 2011 was not an easy year for me.

Work

Early of the year, I have struggled so much.

My boss was awesome. (& always be :D)

Just that I was poor in handling my colleagues and documentation thingy.

And the Top 5 has helped me out so much by giving me a helper !

Woohoo... Hopefully this year would be an awesome documentation year :)

Can't say that I would have less OT this year tho... 

So many things to be done.

Got know that my colleagues found me as a very "awesome rude secretary". Hmmm... Agreed.

I was being outspoken and if they think that my argument is invalid, they should just say it.

Hard to pleased people eh?

Vacation/Trip

I guess the first trip of the year would be Kuching for Petronas-Petrad Workshop.

Workshop was a success but did not have much fun due to certain circumstances.

Coz the hotel is so FAR from the town...

The furthest and my first time to overseas trip would be Bandung, Indonesia ;)

Thank you FE for making it happen.

But I did make an awesome trip for myself during month of December.

To Bird Park again... This time, managed to get into the Butterfly Park !

@Butterfly Park

The love birds @BirdPark

2012
Hope that this year would be a better year for me...
More backpack trips and work life balance.
Look forward and take one step at a time.

My precious treasures.

Wallpaper

It is time for me to change my desktop wallpaper.

I was thinking...

Since my office desktop wallpaper is an awesome StarCraft II wallpaper,

Why not I put my desktop something gotta do with Warcraft..

I heart Sylvanas ♥

Could not find an awesome wallpaper on her...

But somehow, when I look at her cosplay...

Some memories are meant to stay in your heart

Most of our life is a series of images.

They pass us by like towns on the highway.

But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens.

And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image.

We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

Conscious

Lately I have been really conscious on my look, my skin, everything !
I have NEVER been in this kind of state before...
I have to admit that I have a very low self esteem.
Especially when it comes to my looks.

Source: motherhoodthetruth.com

I have this problem that afraid people might say that,
"You're not good or pretty enough" or even "Stop dreaming of being perfect"
I admit that I'm not pretty or talented enough to be a model.


I always envy with my friends due to their looks, makeups, etc..
Such as my colleague or college pals..

Yes, FE. Envy her. She's gorgeous.

IAAB too ! grrrrr...

MKO hot engineer

Looking at them makes me hate myself more.
WTF I'm mumbling about here ?!?
