Splitting headache...

Ever experienced having a splitting headache from sleeping too much?

Well, have not only experienced it but am having it now!! Argh...

Poor babes got food poisoning and spent the whole of today sleeping away. With no plans made thinking that I was going to spend today with him, I spent half my day accompanying Rob sleeping away too... And the result of that... a splitting headache... *groan*

Gonna do something about it... laterz! Ta...

Bored...

I'm bored out of my mind!! Brumph!.



I can't wait to start work!

Feels like there's so much to do, yet I'm just wasting time... Haha...

Went over to Mic & Joni's place yesterday to watch "Shutter". Well, the boys did. Not me...Don't think I missed out much.. hur hur... Cindy and I both stayed in the the room and did some female bonding. Talked alot and felt kinda good knowing my guy's friends better... Charm came later with Dom, bringing us loads of tidbits and chips!

Mic's place was REALLY nice. Really cosy and I liked the platform concept in the living room, with bean bags and a really cool projector TV. Not to mention, it's way cooler when you use a projector to play games on the xbox...

Would love to go over again sometime. Probably when Mic and Joni shifts in after their customary wedding...

Everyone's moving on in life... I just can't wait to move on in mine too!

Starting with a brand new job! :)

Elated...

I can't stop smiling just thinking that I'm going to start work AGAIN next week!

The feeling I get this time round is a much better one then before... Met up with my new boss today and confirmed the offer. He seems to be keen to get me started, and he brought me down for my very first business briefing for a new project for next month.

I'm due to join the company on the 3rd of May! :)

Did my first amateur proposal today for this afternoon's briefing... Ain't too optimistic about it cuz I'm never one for original creativity. My creativity stems from improvision... Hehehe... Can that even be called creativity?

Oh well... but I'm Elated!



Highlight of the week: A new job offer... :)

Uninspired...

is NOT what I am right now. For what I've been, is Inspired...

BUT, my inspiration has been washed off with a splash of technology failure.

Wrote a really thought provoked entry a couple of days back, after having not updated my blog for a while... and took every single effort to find the right words to perfectly describe my thoughts, my emotions... before my stupid firefox browser hung on me.

Have you ever experienced how it feels like to have bought a brand new scoop of ice-cream on a cone, only to have the scoop of ice-cream drop off the cone even before you could have a lick at it?

Yups.. you got it.

Anyway, that incident pissed me off for days and that is explains my MIA from here... Haha..

Now I'm back but there's no way I could reproduce what I wrote that day. No wish to mention it too... the feeling's lost.. no point bringing it back...

For all that's worth, here's updates. Haha...

This week (plus the last weekend) has been most eventful... It was filled with BBQs, family dinner, meet ups with friends, and creating new cards... Met up with the CNETters today.. and got myself a free movie and dinner. Felt really good... (the company.. not de freebies)... makes me wonder how come it couldn't have been like that when things were still beautiful and nice... Hahah.. now I know what they mean when they say that ties get tighter through tough times...

Other than the materialistic stuff, I've just been so overwhelmed with my friends... with their love lives, problems, mess... I don't understand how people can just lose themselves so badly in love. Perhaps I'm anchored to reality due to the family upbringing and (conservative) culture that had been inculcated in me... But people just go BRAINLESS when they're in love.

Oh wells... am in no mood for details like that. For one, I got to go meet an ex-bf of one of my friends to try to clean up some mess... Don't ask me why but I feel like it's just something that I got to do even though I'm not too keen on it...

Anyway, tomorrow might also be a day that bring good tidings. So... Will update more later on!

Till then, this entry better not be lost!

P.S. Somehow, the recover post option did not work for me... am I unlucky or what...bleah...

Plateau...

Seems like I've reached a plateau...

While waiting, rotting, lazing... Hehehhe

Finished reading two books, "Peacocks Dancing" and "The Bartimaeus Trilogy". Both are nothing near the previous two books but I guess they served me well... occupied some of my time... and entertained me.. Hehee...

Anyway, been wanting to send out resumes... but the inertia in me is too strong to resist.... Hehee... Sigh.. got to BUCK up!

Highlights of the week: 2 mahjong games, Phish Food, Sunshine, a Card and my hand-made rose and leaf embroidery!

SunShine


(Haahha... Yups! I started some little embroidery practicing and I'm really pleased with what I came up with! Poof!)

Doors of opportunities...

Some good news might be in the midst of brewing now. I might be looking at another job opportunity in another 3 hours' time. Thanks to an ex-colleague of mine, Ed...

Am keeping my fingers crossed... hoping that this will work out to something that will be suitable for me... While I'm optimistic again, I'm trying not to get my hopes too high.. Afterall, I thought I was in the midst of recovery... Haha, from the trauma of last week...

Dropped off a toy for Aiden today at the office. Felt like getting something for him since my (Ex) bosses were quite good to me. After that, met Angie and Winston for lunch today. T'was a really good lunch. Hehe.... Talked about quite a couple of things and I saw some light in my past history in CNET. Hehehe... Somehow, I do feel slightly more comforted. Yeah yeah.. it's all in the past and I should let it go... in fact I have already, just that something slight feelings do return when somethings are dug up from memory... it's nothing like reopening the wound... it's not fresh hurt.... but it's just remnants, the trace of the feelings that were left behind. The familiarity of the situation....

Anyway, am hoping that I'll have some good news tonight. HOPEFULLY... Keeping my fingers crossed.... Will update more later then! :)

Sunshine after the rain...

I once was lost...
but now am found...
was blind...
but now I see...

It's official! Today's my last day at work....

I can't help but feel really relieved... and truly happy! At the same time, I am feeling the 'break-up guilt' and am feeling terribly bad about how I troubled my 'new' bosses.... Sigh

But it sure seems like the right thing to do...

I was seeking for a route to take...
while heading towards a direction that I was sure...
Somehow, I looked around,
and saw my options at that particular junction...
I decided on one... and walked straight on...
It turned out to be wrong... And I needed an U-turn...
Before it was too late...
But nothing made me more glad,
then the U-turn that I took...
Cause when I was heading back to the junction,
my mood lifted and I was feeling lighter...
As if I could start flying...
And on to the next junction,
I will walk...

Tears...

The angels have been shedding tears of joy, flooding the earth for the last few days...

While I have been shedding tears of grief....

It sure seems to me that the Pope's passing on, is an occasion for rejoice... Because I believe he is called Home, to where he belongs now. Like what was said during the Homily this evening, it's time that he enjoyed his rewards beside the Father... in heaven.

However, I grieve to think that it might have taken the death of the Pope to bring me back to where I belong. The irony lies in the fact that the loss of a Shepherd, has brought a lost sheep home.

It took the passing on of the Pope, to bring me back to church today, for his memorial mass... It took an occasion like this, to force me to muster up the courage that I lacked, to seek forgiveness, to return to face a place where I've avoided for the last few months. It also took an occasion as such, to bring me back on track, to take a U-turn, from a route that I should not have chosen.

I can't help but think of how significant the last couple of days it has been for me.

As with how Jesus died on the cross for the people, to wash away our sins with His blood, the Pope did too. He died for me... for many others... and the rain that has been showering down on earth the last few days, sure seem to signify the washing of sins, of mine... away....

He brought me back to church, and as turbulous the last week has been with my new job, somehow he gave me strength to move on. Life's too short. I was also blessed by having plentiful of support from friends and family. Yeah... News: I resigned from my job only after a week.

But I felt like that's the right thing to do because I simply cannot stomach the work. The job seem to be a misfit for me... Or rather, Me a misfit for the job.

As wonderful as my new bosses are... It's my loss that I cannot work for them. They are truly warm and sincere people. But I guess for my mental health... I had to do it. Not being able to breathe or sleep, sure ain't no joke.

Anyway, the memorial was good. Helped me recollect what I should have been doing. Also reminded me that the past should just be treasured for its values, not its flaws. And I should move on with a lighter heart... :)
