| Is privacy really an excuse for a lack of concern and an apathetic attitude? Will one become too contented and eventually, uncompassionate? | | |
| I went home to KL on Christmas Eve afternoon. However, the nightmare home started when my flight was delayed for 30 minutes. In case you were not informed, I was going to make it in time for Christmas Eve service at church as well. My flight landed safely, and I was thirsty and hungry. But I didn't have time to stop for a drink or food. I bought a ticket for a bus to the nearest KLIA Transit station and for the train to KL Sentral. The trip to KL Sentral took 1.5 hours in total, including waiting time for the bus, the trip to the station, waiting time for the train, and the trip to KL Sentral. My luggage bag's handle broke when I was boarding the train and I was so embarrassed. When I reached KL Sentral, I had to carry my 12.3 kg luggage, plus 2 heavy paperbags of gifts and my handbag across the lobby and up the escalator to the entrance, while wearing 4-inch heels. I just collapsed in the car after that.
Well, nightmare ended the next day because we spent Christmas weekend in Pangkor! Lovely time, food and people.
Now I'm back home. Had a good time with friends last night, and am literally stuck at home for the rest of the week (I WANT MY OWN CAR!). Not even going anywhere for New Year's Eve. And I was supposed to study a little bit for my actuarial exams every single day. What la... shopping on Friday better be good. I'm in dire need for fabulous retail therapy. | | |
| Usually, I would post something every birthday, ever since I started this birthday. But this year, I was simply too busy or too tired or too lazy to switch my laptop on. But now, while waiting for a program to run at work, I shall blog about turning 23. The celebrations this year was great. I went home the weekend before my birthday, so I had an early celebration dinner at Tamarind Springs, Ampang with my family. The place was gorgeous and serene. The food was tasty. The price was quite steep, but for the service and food, I think it was worth it. The boyfie sent a bouquet of 24 roses the night before my birthday as a pre-present. He said that the real thing won't arrive on time, and true enough, it has not arrived yet to this very day, HAHA! But the flowers were gorgeous this time. They bloomed like crazy over the days, and only wilted yesterday! The purple ones were the best. The blooms were large in the end. So beautiful flowers, and they don't stink this time! I loved them... thanks, baby.  When midnight struck, the housemates + Sarah - Alarize (because her family was in town) surprised me with a slice of cake and we took many pics (check Facebook!). We talked for quite a while, and later that night, met up for dinner at Fish & Co. They also managed to make me climb on a chair while the staff there sang me a birthday song. That night, 11 other birthdays were celebrated at the same place! So funny... The office also celebrated my birthday with an ice-cream cake. Lovely time! Lots of people also wished me on Facebook and via SMS. Thanks for all the wishes, everyone. I replied every single one. I felt truly blessed this year. Love surrounded me the whole day. Even the hour-long wait for a table at FIsh & Co. didn't manage to raise my temper right through the roof. Turning 23 sounded scary. It seemed like the start of adulthood, especially since I graduated this year and started earning my living like any adult had to. Being in a relationship that's totally different from previous ones because of the distance and the depth also changed me a lot this year. Every single decision you make is what shapes your future. But one thing remains constant. God is always there for me. His love and the knowledge of that truth is what keeps me at peace, because all things work out for good with God in the equation. And all things are possible with Him. So I am looking forward to spending my 24th year of life with Him by my side. It is all worth the journey. | | |

| Hi folks, It's official. Working life kills the blog. I mean, I really lack the enthusiasm to update my personal blog anymore. Because the last thing I want to see is another computer after a long day. Boyfriend makes me come online to webcam together, and that I can do, albeit a little reluctantly. But to update my blog, oh, it takes so much willpower to do so, even more when your boss is rather much like a silent killer, pouncing on your mistakes and making you feel like a tiny grain of sand. Wait, make that a tiny mustard seed. It's even smaller than sand. So I feel discouraged at times. It's not because of my own expectations alone, but more of the expectations people have towards me. Am I learning enough or fast enough? I do not know, because there is no feedback. A little encouragement won't hurt, you know. This is making me more and more depressed from time to time. I need to go home, take a breather, and find the strength within me that is God to continue praising Him despite the storm. | | |
