I have been getting a lot of missed calls on my cellphone lately. Not sure who is it from. I picked up one time but there wasn’t anyone talking at the end of the line and the line was cut off after that. Hmm.. Oh I don’t know who called because it was a withheld number. Sigh this was during work time so I either don’t hear it or cannot pick up at that time. Then, I get restless for the rest of the day because I kept waiting and thinking who would call me at such time. Sigh, mengacau and I can only wait for the person to call back again.
I was out with friends after work on Monday and had a little bit of coffee cake. Well, at least I can taste coffee in the cake even though friend said there’s no coffee in it. So am I dreaming? I strongly dislike the coffee taste so yea.. even a little taste I can taste it.
Check out this sofa.
So cool. I haven’t seen one like that before. I would love to have a sofa like that but not sure if there is any space in the future house. Not too fussy how my sofa should look like as long as it has the L shape. Like this.
Leather sofa is nice but during the winter, it will be super cold. Having the cloth sofa, they get dirty very easily. =S Never satisfying huh.. I am sure modern sofas will evolve. Lol
Being bored and nothing much to colour up the blog, here are some new clothes from my mum. Yay!! I absolutely love the heels. I even walked back from work with the heels. I saw one like this, probably about a year ago in Zara and I wanted it so much. Seeing the reluctance in mum, I decide not to pursue it. Hehe.. I love fashions but I don’t have the energy to dress up so nice everyday. At times I just felt like wearing jeans and big shirt. Let’s just say comfortable clothes. To me, comfortable clothes means bigger and able to move around in them. =P
Darling and I went to mosaic yesterday instead of church mass in the morning. The sermon was really good. Pastor talked about how David let God take control of his life, how his life transform, etc. There were two people before pastor gave his sermon sharing about how their week was, either horrible or tough. Pastor said that if we let God take control of our life, things will be easier though there will be tough times. Pastor explained how Saul let God control some parts of his life. It just makes me reflect on my own life too. I did let God take control of my life. I have been doing the looking-into-mirror-and-realising-where-am-i thought at least once a week. Every time I wonder how far I have gone and how lucky I am to have this job for now. I just watched the news and apparently, there will be more job cuts in NZ govt. I got a little worried since it will be harder to find a job later this year. I mean, if I were to compete with them for a job, obviously they are more experienced than I do. Sigh..
Anyway, caught up with Anu and Em just now. Talked a lot from life to gym. I wish I have the exercise equipment at home because I always get lazy if I have to get out from the house to go gym. I admire people who has the motivation. It’s not that I don’t want to go and yet compaining. I just don’t have the motivation. Sigh.. right maybe I should try getting the smaller bits to help flatten my tummy. Hehe..
So here are my birthday cards. Hmm.. the blue card is from family. Handmade card. I love the fact that sis is so creative in making cards, I think she can even make them as a part time job. Sometimes I think she is more talented than I am. I am no creative person even though I am into making cards. In fact, most of the time she suggested doing something and I go along with it or help her, that is if I feel like so. =P
So what was my birthday present? Well, I don’t know what I wanted when darling asked me so I got him to pay for my eye serum cream from The Body Shop. =P I have been into eye cream lately. Maybe I should check out this website at http://www.eyecream.org/. Seriously, I could ask the impossible for birthday presents. Try asking if you want to. In person or through chat though. Muahahaha..
Yay!! I got my own singstar to sing. =) The transformer is darling’s. He wants to add in to his DVD collection. Well, it was on sale so I guess that’s fine since he insisted that it’s a guy thing. Is it? I don’t have brothers so I wouldn’t know. I do love that movie though. When the first movie came out, I went to watch it in the cinema. Well, it’s an action movie so obviously you would watch in the cinema. Good surround system and bigger screen some more.
Just look at this!! My eyes probably look big when I saw them. I convinced Anu to buy it. She loved it. Oh we shared by the way. It just reminds me of mama (it is what my cousins and I call our grandma). I recall following my mama to a shop where she bought one for me. It was back where I was born and mama’s hometown. I also recall that she used to make these in the kitchen too. All the vague memories of being in the kitchen. I bet I was being nosy and walking around, disturbing mama. Hehehe.. Back then, I didn’t know how hard the adults had to work to feed us. I had to say I take for granted that my parents would be giving me until.. I am not sure when. Definitely when I started earning my own money. ‘So this is how hard they work at work, bring home the money for the kids and if there are some left, for themselves.’ It’s not that I just realise. I did realise a long time ago but I left it too long to think more and do something about it. Sigh.. for me, I think I have to go through an experience in order to realise it and take immediate action. If I don’t, I will never realise the situation.
Anyway, I should snap back into lantern festival mood. So, I haven’t been to lantern festival in Christchurch before. Yea, was my first time. Sad huh.. So the festival isn’t that bad, some food stalls here and there, retail stalls and lots of people. There were some songs played so it makes the atmosphere better. =P
I have heard advertisements from tv and read about it in story books about herpes simplex but I never really google it to know more about it. I mean, it really depends on individual right? I shall say no further about it as I assume my readers to know more than I do. I shall continue reading about it then. I need to cut my finger nails. They are getting longer. Need to trim them. =P
Remember the star jump I put in the collage in previous post? I should say previouses but there is no such word so how about previous posts? =P So yea, about the star jump photo, did I mention that Zan entered it in the Jetstar photo competition? Yes, she did and the photo was one of the many photos selected. I browsed all the photos and still think ours is the best jump, not being bias though. Hehehe =P
Talking about the sleepy oily face, my back hurts at times too. Maybe I should get back acne treatment too? Actually I should get treatment for my whole body. Hahaha.. at least something to soothe the body once in a while. I have never gone for one so I should give it a try. Apparently, there is lantern festival in town tonight. I sort of knew about it but wasn’t that keen to go. Well, it will be just the two of us if going and I don’t find it fun when it’s just two people. I am sorry I am not being romantic but I prefer big gathering. This is a time when friends and people gather and socialise too. Oh yea, Anu is going since she was the one suggesting. I thought I go since I haven’t seen any lantern festival since I first arrived Christchurch. =P Another way to catch up with her. Hmm.. haven’t caught up with Li since the last month but it’s ok. She is busy at the moment.
The summer is ending soon and my vege garden will go into hibernation soon. As in, I cannot plant anything anymore until late winter. I shall have to do some research on what plants I can plant. My chinese cabbage didn’t grow, I think because I cannot see the white head. The leaves has holes so that means worms have been eating them. Sigh.. By the way, the vege plant in the photo above was given by a friend and she helped me to plant them. Finally, can eat the beans. It is not a lot but just enough for one meal. Not forgetting my lettuce too. I do have it with my sandwich. Getting sick of the bread so I shall fry some other food for lunch. =P
Lately, I have been noticing my face oily. I think I am looking at a sleepy tired oily face in the morning in the mirror but a friend commented that I look stress-free. Maybe I should treat myself to a beauty treatment or get the best acne treatment. The weather turned gloomy today and according to the weather forecast, it will stay like that till Monday. Somehow, the weather mirrors my mood/feelings today.

This was my first to watch orchestra. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Song made me relax and when I closed my eyes, I could feel myself flying in the clouds/air. The feeling of flying, you know. Oh yea, we met some friends over there as well. We never actually made plans to go with them. Well at least we did knew that we will be seeing the two girls. One of the two boys said I look different and couldn’t recognise my stress-free face if darling wasn’t there. Lol. I thought I was always calm and not stressing much. I guess it could be the final year stress. =P Anyway, I love to go for concert like this. The UK should have more orchestra events so *hint hint* you should go and watch them while you’re there. =P I am not sure if M’sia has or not. At least not at my hometown. Well, what am I saying, I haven’t been back for so long.
Nowadays, there are so many pre paid credit cards for customers. I guess it is the norm now. Does visa debit counted as one? I have been thinking of getting it but I kept delaying. I also thought what is the point because I would spend my money. Hehe I know people would say that you use your own money and that it works like credit card. Call me weird but I rather keep it like that. =P
That is my birthday cake. The butterfly on top of the cake is the candle. How pretty yea? =P
Quite late in putting up this birthday cake photo. Hehehe.. Anyway, I shall write more about last weekend. I went to watch an orchestra concert. Was my first time so I was really fascinated. =P
What can you use with used travel trailers? Hey, how come I never thought of using trailers whenever I moved my stuff around? Oh I just remember a friend mentioning that if you get a trailer, your car needs to have the tow bar. I am not sure if it is very easy to get tow bar at the back of the car nowadays. Hmph..
Bought these drinks. They taste very nice. I think it is the latest drinks on the supermarket shelves.
Gosh, I cannot believe that I am feeling sleepy at work. I cannot believe it!! It doesn’t mean work is boring. Maybe I didn’t have enough sleep. Ish.. tea caffeine doesn’t work on me anymore. Sigh..
Anyway, uni has already started as all my friends are back in town. Managed to catch up with them on Wednesday. It’s not just friends from uni though. One of them is working. We really talked a lot. I didn’t feel like leaving. Wanted to continue to talk so I told them that we should catch up again. =P I think I am quite free now that I am not studying.
I saw a job that I thought is good and applied last night. Guess what, I got a rejection reply today. Sad =( The internet has been weird lately, maybe should get wireless security systems. The eternet line is alright but not the wireless. Like say, darling is talking on the phone in the room and the wireless internet line just dropped off. Wait, it’s not the same thing. Urgh, I am just going to stop babbling. I feel like sleeping now. Night.

Sunday was hectic. Had brunch and headed off to watch Valentine’s Day at the cinema. After lunch, headed to Ilam to meet up with friend. After that, dinner at lone star. Yay!! Some photos taken at Lone Star. Desserts was after that. No other friends were around so we ended up blowing the cake at home with Emma. Thinking a year older was ok but it comes to the number, I just thought, gosh time passes so fast.
Just last week when I was at work, I turned to the mirror to straighten myself. I saw my reflection and thought, hey where am I. I was wearing work clothes and I asked myself how did I get here. The last time I really look at myself closely was during university time - I was still studying. I really have achieve one thing in life, which was to finish a degree. Really, I didn’t think I would graduate. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t looking down on myself. I just didn’t realise how fast the time goes. I usually set myself goals and try to achieve them. Getting a degree is one of the biggest goal in my life so far.
Now I have jumped into working life. What is my next goal? I don’t know yet. I haven’t thought about it. I am looking forward to graduate, seeing my family and have fun. I shall think about setting goals after that, yeah? Setting something for myself to achieve will, at least make me look forward to future otherwise life seems meaningless. Well, that is how I see lah. Guess what, I feel like bringing back some work to do for the night, want to read extra notes about insurance quotes on the insurance risks. But of course, I cannot as I would need to use the work programme. If I do, I would have no life because work is all I think about. So yea, I guess throw that thought away yea?
