Time flies ...

Hello poppets.

Tick-tock, it's almost end of April. And my last post was in Jan, wishing everyone a happy new year. Haha! Been really busy, work and everything else in between. But, life's good.

Was scrolling through stuffs in my Tab earlier on. And I came across this Whatsapp Conversation that I saved. Reading through it made me smile. Especially at one part. 

So a year ago, I was busy exchanging Whatsapp texts with a person, getting to know him better. And on this one particular day, March 23, I suddenly texted 'I miss you.' Why? Haha, typical me. Cause I was somewhat mad at another friend of ours for something he said about only being friends for now and will go on separate ways when Uni life is over. We were just teasing each other actually. And so from that 'I miss you' sentence, our conversation went on to giving advises and stuff. Coz this person told me that he is too busy working 12 hours a day that he doesn't have time to be in a relationship. Me being me,  I started to spurt out advises. One of it goes like this, "Find a girl who is patient and understanding. Don't worry too much, she might turn up in the most unexpected time and place."

Me and my big mouth. Guess who was the girl he found?

Me.

Hahaha! Yes, that person I was giving advises to was Love. Back then we were just starting to know each other better. I was already attracted to him, heck I've been attracted since the first time I met him. But I just brushed it off and told myself I wasn't ready for anything and that I still wanted to have fun. Those advises that I gave, I sincere meant him to find someone else that he would find suitable for him. How was I supposed to know his patient and understanding girl ended up being me. 

Next Sunday marks 1 year for us. Time really does flies. Looking back on how we started out, still makes me smile. I guess the chemistry was already there from day 1 but we just weren't sure. We were usually under the influence of alcohol whenever we hang out together. But then, if it wasn't for the alcohol influence then we wouldn't realize our feelings for each other. Back then, whenever he sends me back after our nightlife activities,  I would always say thank you and give him a kiss in his cheek. Even if it wasn't him sending me home, I'd hug him before leaving and tell him I had fun. Haha, silly tipsy me. 

1 year. Makes me wanna cry sometimes. My reward for surviving all the previous tears and heartache. Among everything and anything else that I have done in my life, I am never more sure of anything else then I am sure about him. Thank you so much Heavenly Father, he is the answer to all my previous prayers done in tears.

One more week Love, then it's already a year for us. Thank you for making me smile everyday. I know I advised you to look for a patient and understanding girl, and you've told me you found that girl in me. But the truth is, you are my patient and understanding guy. 

Praying for many more years to come.

Happy 1st Anniversary in advance Love.

(because I won't be blogging next week!)

2013 already?

Happy New Year!

Yes, I know I'm a bit late in this. But then, better late then never right?

So before we start off 2013, I was thinking maybe it's best for me to summarize what has happened in 2012.  Actually I'm just going to list out the good memorable things that happened. So here we go!

First memorable thing I did in 2012 was, finally chopping off my long hair. As per picture below, it's only shoulder length. But hey, that's already really short for me. So, yeah! 

Shoulder length hair

Following this short hair memory would be the one memory and incident that has made a big impact on my life. Him. Although I met him back in 2011, it was 2012 that made us realized and open up our hearts to each other. And so in 2012, I found my soulmate.

Who would have thought?

Moving on to the next most memorable thing I did for 2012 was no other then attending the Big Bang Alive Tour Concert in KL at Stadium Merdeka! Yea, I didn't blogged about this because had been really busy. And to blog about it now would be like so yesterday news. 

27 October 2012, our dream finally came true!

Definitely until WHENEVER :)

Then, I adopted a puppy! Picture below is when Mishka Bailey aka Mika has only been with us for 1-2 weeks. She's now bigger, and is very cheeky. But I love her. 

Puppy love

Oh! And the reasons why I seldom blog (and didn't even blogged abaout Big Bang!) was because I got my first official job. Tada! 

First step on starting my career

Ok, what else? Attended his bands' gig. My first ever in a place like that! Homai, so not my everyday music. Hahaha! 

One Kill Wonder, his band

Bought my first Craftholic, together with his as his birthday gift. And nope, the pink is not mine.

Kis and Rie, our first Craftholic. Can you guess which they are?

One of my babe got engaged. One by one, settling down. Age really is catching up.

One down, many more to go.

 One of my favourite memory for 2012, was the days spent with my housemate and also close friend. This year, she got pregnant. Was so happy and excited for both she and her husband! It's her first child and my first experience having someone close to me pregnant and being there to see it grow. The days spent watching out for her daily nutrient consumptions and also trips to the clinic, nothing can beat that. And finally in December, I get to meet the lil one.

Christian Ivan Roy, 2 months old

And finally, my family vacation. It has been awhile since me and my family went on a real vacation together. So since we bought the tix early on 2012, we've been pretty excited about it. We went back to a place where we (well, minus my lil bro who has been there like twice) always went to back when we were lil kids. 

SINGAPORE

(I shall write another post for this alone later with more pics, I promise.)

Upon arrival in Changi Airport

The first place we went on our family vacay was no other then the most mentioned Universal Studio Singapore, USS.

Le siblings. Yes I'm the shortest, eventhough I'm the eldest.

Too many rides. But our most favourite, and by far the best I've ever been on, would be no other then Cylon. It's a rollercoaster where Human battles against Cylon. EPIC COOL!

Red tracks for Human, Blue tracks for Cylon

After that day, we went to JB for two nights. And lil sis dragged me to, no other then Hello Kitty Land. I am so not a fan of Hello Kitty. 

Hellolololo Kitty! 

Then, Legoland! Was not as awesome as USS. But still, a vacation is a vacation. You got to enjoy while you can. Right?

Sunburnt!

I saw the Taj Mahal! Well, mini lego version of it...

Back to Singapore after 2 nights, then we went to Marina Sands. 

Pretty right?

 Anddd.. Singapore Zoo! I insisted on coming. My childhood revolves aroung the memory of Singapore Zoo. So, why miss the chance to go there again?

Happy Child!

Orchard Road, where me and my sis spent our Christmas night chit-chating at one of the Starbucks outlet

I love Orchard Road during Christmas!

And finally, we can not miss out Sentosa.

Cable car ride into Sentosa

Underwater World

 And yeah, I guess thats all the major stuff that happened in 2012. Mind you, there's so much memories to share. But I can say, these are what will pop up to mind for the year 2012.

2013

New year usually means new resolution, new challenges, new adventures,

I pray that this year will be awesome. I know there will be hardships to be faced as well but lets just remind ourself that with every challenge we overcome, we grow wiser. 

For this year, I pray that I will be more focus and serious with my career. Buliding up myself to be a better individual. To get closer to God and learn of His ways. To be always patient and understanding in my relationship with Love.

May 2013 be awesome for you all too!

God bless :)

Ending this post with my most favourite picture for 2012

If this isn't love, then tell me what it is?

Til next post.

12.12.12

Tick-tock!

Beautiful date today.

Hello. Just realized that I haven't been blogging since I started working. Been superbly busy, at the end of the days I always end up being too tired or lazy to blog. Actually right now, I am feeling a bit sleepy. But forcing myself to blog, because of the beautiful date today.

So, 12.12.12

12th of December, 2012

This morning I tweeted that 10 years ago, one of my aim and goal in life was to get married on this date. Since 12 is my favourite number, this would have been the perfect date for me. 

Childish wishes and dreams.

:)

Last year I accepted the fact that there's no chance of me getting married on my dream date. So I said to myself, let's at least do sonething during that date to make it memorable. So that in another 10 years, I could think back and remember what I was doing on 12.12.12

So what did I do today?

Woke up early, took a shower, hang out the laundry, cooked rice for doggies' dinner (and also mine), drove to work, tidied up table, checked emails, update training matrix, settle timesheet problems, constantly looking for payslip, go thru list of names on which contract to extend, call here and there, go up and down, drove back home, cooked dinner, took in dry laundry, had dinner, gave doggies dinner, watched Nickelodeon while folding baju, showered, did laundry, checked on love, blog.

Exciting huh? Very memorable.

If I was still staying near to love, would have at least tried dropping by his place with maybe a cake. But we're at each ends of Miri and he is tired from going throught a stressful day. So hey, I'll just let 12.12.12 go.. 

Actually there's lots to blog about. My working life, KL trip to watch Big Bang, le bf meeting my mum, one of my babe's Engagement Dinner, Company Dinner, Pre Christmas dinner, Mammoth Mass, baking Red Velvet, Brunei trip....oh so many.

But tired eyes are asking me to sleep soon....

I feel old... In another 12 more days, I will be officially a year older.

Age is catching up.

Will blog again, hopefully before I fly off to Singapore!

Good night poppets!

Bye 12.12.12

The Post of Shame

Hehehehe

I know in the previous post I've been ranting about how bored and stress I am lately. And how worried I am about hearing nothing from any of the companies I've appkued to or gone for interviews. 

But then, God works in mysterious ways.

After ranting, I went out for a cycle then after that went to walk the dogs to give them exercises. And during that frame of time, I received 3 good news. Well, 1 is really not official yet. 

Good news #1 would be about my friend from Day 1 in Uni and also room-mate for a year. She finally gave birth to a healthy and adorable baby boy. I actually cried coz I've been missing her and the lil one so much since she went back to Kuching in June. Can't wait to meet her and the lil one in December. 

Good news #2 would be the unofficial good news because I havent really received THE CALL yet. My friend was too excited and texted me about it. Yes, I am finally jobless no more. Monday, 8th October 2012, marks the beginning of the next chapter in life for me. But, still have to wait for THE CALL first to make it official. 

Good news #3 would be about another close friend. I know I just met her and this group of girlfriends last year, but I've bonded with them so fast. I am grateful for these girls that unknowingly helped me get over my past and start again. I love these girls, along with some of the other girlfriends that has really stayed with me through thick and thin. And now, one of these girls from my new circle of friends just told me that she will be getting engage in November, not August next year. 

Oh happiness! 

Right after ranting about how stress on how boring my life has been lately.

*shameshameshame*

Thank you Heavenly Father, for everything.

xoxoxo

S.T.R.E.S.S

Sick and tired of this.

What's "this"?

The blaming game.

I'm tired of waking up everyday, knowing it will be another boring day for me.

Wake up, collect dirty laundries, start the washing, sweep the floor, mop them too sometimes, give the dogs bath sometimes, have my breakfast, hang out the washed laundries. When my aunt is not around, I'll start to think of what to cook for lunch/dinner. If she is around, then I have nothin else to do til around 4-5pm. Thats when I would go and collect the dry laundries, sometimes go and pick up my cousin and brother from school, get ready for dinner, eat, clean up after dinner, feed doggies, clean up kitchen. Then later around 7-8pm, I'll be in the living room, folding the laundry as usual. 

And so, other then that in all the times in between, what did I do? I read, I go online, I read some more, I go pester the dogs, I lay around. 

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?!

Now receiving complains from my mum to not always be on the phone or reading. Get up, go and talk to people. 

Now here's the question. My aunt is always busy with her work in her room. My akek, whom I still have difficulty conversing with in Kayan, would be outside with his 'jala' and other stuff. When my cousins come over during their lunch break, they'd sleep. SO WHOM AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK TO? 

Waiting day by day for the response from any company or inteviews that I've attended. Zero. Ziltch. Nothing.

STRESS

They think I laze around all day carefree and not a single worry in my head? NO! 

EVERY.SINGLE.SECOND.I.AM.WORRY.

That is why I read. The more stress and worried I am, the more I will read. Especially at times like this where it is not easy for me to go out and chill wit my girls. Sometimes, that's all I need. A different environment for 2-3 hours, girlfriends to chitchat and gossip with, some bit of music, or maybe nice sceneries in front of me. That's all I need to release my stress. But since I can only go out once a week with love (coz I'm afraid if I go out more than once a week then people wi complain that I go out too much), reading is all I have left.

AND YET PEOPLE STILL COMPLAIN

i.give.up

Bye la!

5 months ♥

*warning! sappy, lovey-dovey post alert!* 

This 28th makes it 5 months.

I use to be one of those people who scorns those couples that profess their undying love for each other even after only 1-2 months of being together. I don't understand how they can be so sure in saying they will love each other forever and then break up after some time. What's the use then? 

As much as I am in love, I prefer showing it in different ways. Anything but that kind of way. Ugh. Too sappy for me. If they have been together for 3-4 YEARS, then I'd think it's ok to be proclaiming out loud how much they love each other and wanna spend the rest of their lives together. 

But now, I'll just have to take back whatever I've said before. 

I guess I kind of understand now. 

I'm sure this time I'll be scorned by another person out there. But I don't care.

People will say 5 months is still too short of a period to be certain. But I am absolutely sure about this. I've found the one. 5 months doesn't feel like 5 months at all. It seems like we've known each other since forever. Even with only 5 months, I know that thisguy here, this is my soulmate. :)

I've never shared this here before, but I have always believed that TIME plays an important role. Why? Let me explain here.

Although it has only been 5 months for us, we actually 'met' each other so much more earlier. We first 'met' way back in 2009. Yeap, 3 years ago. But at that time, we didn't know. All this came to was when one of his friend placed an order of cupcakes for her then boyfriend and also for him, for both of the boys shared the same birthday. Out of the many cupcakes we did, those batch was one I clearly remember. Because we stayed up til almost 2am still coming up with ideas on how to decorate them according to how the customer requested.

Fast-forward to April 2012, where we were sharing stories about ourselves and he was describing that one year where he had funny cupcakes during his birthday. As he started to describe how the cupcakes were, I stopped him, took out my tab, opened up our cupcake website and showed him a picture in it while asking whether those were his cupcakes. He was surprised and asked how did I knew. I just laughed and said, "I baked them." :) The look on his face after that, priceless.

Furthermore, for 4 years we've been staying in the same area. What are the chances that we've never passed by each other? His brother studies in the same Uni as I do, and the both of them went to the Uni's Open Day last year. And I did too!

So, we've had so many chances of getting to know each other earlier and save the both of us from heartaches and whatever silly mistakes that we've made. But no... It was only Nov 2011 that we met, really met for the first time. Although we usual lament about ehy didn't we met earlier, I'm actually glad we did not. Coz if we did, I guess we wouldn't be ready yet for each other. Mistakes that we did in our past changes us to be better, thus better for each other. So we finally met at the right time.

And now, 5 months.
I don't care what others will think or say. I am so much in love with this guy and ever so grateful to have finally met him. Things really feels different when you've found the one. And when I met him, I wasn't even looking or expecting for anything more.

It has been an amazing 5 months dear.
I pray for so much more to come.
I really can't wait to spend forever with you.
