Post Holiday

NOOO!!!

Ok back to reality.
Planning for the next one.
Our Staff Day will be at...

BATAM.

Weight Horrors

It's time to lose weight. 

C'mon girl .. You can do it! 

Ignorance is Bliss

The thing is , you looked down on me and my capabilities.
Thus, I proved you wrong .
I played the same game & you lost.
What can I say?

At least I tried and yes, I'm going back to my humble shell now.
Don't test me

Bag-xiety

Today I brought my Jacobs out to play. 

If I can't have Saffiano leather now, I'll just make do with other kinds of leather.

Statistics report today, but I did it in my own style. No boring simplistic design template for me. I also gave my boss a preposition. 

Don't raise my pay but promote me and my colleague instead (cuz we're already doing stuff above our level) .Give us a target and if we hit it, they have to give us a cut. 

So she gave me a target of $30k per month. 

Game on.

Feels Good

It feels good talking to yourself. 

For that I mean, as I'm typing these words, I'm actually pouring out my thoughts and letting it flow out of my mind & heart.

It really does cleanse the soul.

& knowing that someone out there is "hearing" you out , makes me feel ..

Human 

Prada Saffiano

I've been eyeing this bag since 2 years ago and I thought my infatuation with this oh so classic bag would fade. 

Sadly, I'm still in love .

I used to think branded bags are such a cliché and people who don't earn much and buy those stuff are dumb. 

But, here I am thinking , why the f not? 

I can afford it ( if I stop eating out ) .

I work hard enough too.

Why can't I be one of them? 

I can prove my self worth too

Right? 

Getaway Goal

And we're back!

Now, the next cause of excitement would be Krabi.The goal is to NOT buy anything unless absolutely necessary. 

List of things I'm gonna look forward to ;

1) Clear blue sea & white sandy beaches

2) Thai massage 

3) Read/Draw/Paint while sipping hot cocoa on the patio 

4) Fresh dewy morning mist

3) Absolute silence 

New Kicks

YES . I'm gonna start getting fit again.

With new running shoes ! 

Every woman needs a boost right? 

Albeit the real intention

Hahahaah

My Amazing Husband

I'm so lucky.

I wonder what I did to deserve such a wonderful person in my life.

Blessed and thanking God for every second I'm with you.

Batam -ing

Batam, the land of second wives.

We took the ferry from Harbourfront and frankly, we had a quite good time exploring the city with the tour group.

Uncle Andrew was really nice to everyone  and even went go-karting with us. 

For 50 bux per pax , we enjoyed a nice seafood lunch and a pretty dandy 2-Star hotel with excellent WI-Fi, including return ferry tickets.

How nice :) 

Dampener

I knew it.

I knew the price was unbelievable for a 5 Star hotel. Damn fine print . But nonetheless, it's much cheaper than booking anywhere else online.

You bet it, I triple checked. Around $400 cheaper. 

Oh wells, at least I can secure one of the best morning views of my life .

Saturday

Since we need to go out pretty darn early tomorrow morning at 5am, I should'nt do much today. Cameron Diaz was really good in Bad Teacher.

Enjoyed it while munching on my toast and bread.

Maybe I'll do some 'yoga'

HAH

Domestic Helper

No conversation was ever spared with this sentence for the past 2 months 

, " When are we going to get a new maid?" 

I could do so much more with that extra cash and would rather do my own housework or cook my own meals. Maybe , I could even gain back my wifey sense of domestic pride too.  

But I'll do anything for my MIL's happiness and our family.

Prejudice at work

Is it because I'm not one of the 75% population in S'pore?
Is it because it's rare to have 'my kind' be accomplished?
Is it because you don't think I deserve to be rewarded/compensated even though almost 60% of your salary comes from my hard earned sales?

Are you serious? If my other colleague of your race does the same, will you treat him/her like that?

Oh well, such is life. But you should know I prove most of my skeptics wrong.

Extreme Excitement

I just bought the best holiday deal ever for a 5-star resort in Krabi, Anantara Resort.
S$205 for 3 days 2 nights. Awesome!
I'm so excited. This is the view I really hope to see.

Praying for the best

Ambitions

What are my ambitions? 

1) to have a business whereby my life revolves around making people happy .

2) to be an adventurer/explorer/risk-taker

3) to inspire others 

4) to be awed 

So where do I start? 

 

TGIF

Friday is here! Hurrah!
What to do... what to dooooo?
Stay up late and watch a movie or maybe go see my parents who just returned from Turkey?
October is my most favorite month of the year.

Sales Pitch

Received a call earlier from a 24 year old fresh out-of-school insurance Sales man.I listened to him rambling on and on about his dental coverage product.

I listened attentively and at the same time, I was wondering if he would be using the same words I use when I'm doing my sales. Hence , I learn that i should never use the following words if i want to convince my customer  ;

1. " Entirely up to you" 

2. " Don't worry, no obligation" 

3. " I truly understand"

4. " Ok ,Ms ( insert name) , let me explain to you Ms (insert name) , right now you won't feel that it is beneficial for you but , MS (insert name) , you should consider ....

I think I'll go read more books on people skills.

Yay?

I didn't realize that it has been quite a while since I last light up a cigg( maybe 2 weeks)
I do feel healthier and more at peace but it seems like nothing much had changed.
My face look slightly less haggard. I don't feel like there is a need to puff because
maybe I'm not stress at all... but my mind seems preoccupied.

I feel more positive though!
Well, it's a start..

Rumour Has It

If rumour goes around spreading like wildfire, would you be the person to shut up and let it be or are you the kind who goes around spreading the news like your life depends on it because , what the heck, maybe that news could change someone's future even. 

I feel kind of honored to be THE Rumour..but meh.. Just move on with your GORGEOUS smile  :D 

Overruled Ideas

Remember in school when the teacher wants you to form a group and work together to present something great?
There will always be this ONE person who just wants to do it aaaaallllll and everything must be on their terms . Any suggestion given by their peers mean nothing to them and they carry on blabbering how to do it their way and their way is the BEST idea ever.. when it clearly isn't?

Urgh.

Seeking Paradise

Wow. Just look at my background .
Anantara Resort, Seminyak Bali.
Can you imagine waking up to this glorious view every single day?
Like the whole world is waiting for you to come out and play.
Why not sink yourself in the jacuzzi tub while your man is snoozing on the Egyptian cotton bed after a wild night?
hahahahha!

Dreams can come true.

Goals

I have to realign my life and the way to start is to set some solid goals.

Achievable and Attainable.

As they say , Nothing is Impossible.

It's like how far we want to go to reach our limitless opportunities laid before us.

What's stopping me? 

Well, to put it simply... Money. 

So, what am I going to do about it? 

I should be thankful. 

Note to myself : 

List the things that I'm thankful for; 

1. I have a job 

2. I have my amazing husband

3. I have an intact loving family 

4. I have easy access to anything I need 

5. I have food and water 

6. I have a bed to sleep comfortably in at the end of a long day.

So, this blog actually helps me remind myself that my life is not perfect and yes there will always be "i need that" , " i want that"... But i need to remember what I already "have" and be thankful to God Almighty ..

The Need to be Heard

Everybody wants to be heard. I want to be heard but not known.
Silence could numb you sometimes and maybe its bothering me.
What is this empty feeling inside ?
I feel that I'm going around aimlessly.
No excitement to anything .
I think I just need an escape to Freedom.
The best memories of mine are trips outside of singapore.
Hopefully, this short trip to Batam this weekend would make me feel whole again.
