A silent night

A night with minimal distraction. Dearie and I are 12 hours apart and I am missing him like crazy! HOwever, he will never ceased to make me laugh and smile over our short chat. He is the best I could ever have even though there were ups and downs. Ah.. enough of me EMO-ing on the screen...

I think I am too sleepy to write now...haha! Yawn....

Life Goes on!

With much suffering and breakdowns during the first week of work, I have finally pick myself up to look at things positively. Well, not 100% up yet but then at least I am 90% off from depression!

How sad can life be... I can't bring my Camoorah to work! ARGH! 

How hard working can we be? Do we work long hours to show our productivity or do we work short and effective? Well, if there is no time limit to go home, that definitely spoils the market. But when you work towards a time limit, you'll tend to be a little more effective and focus in work. Sadly, this is not the culture here. HATE to THE MAXIMUM! Can't wait till the day I tender my letter! Yes, I know I have just completed my second week, I have learnt something and I love my job...I just hate the culture!

Ah, with life without the SUN, I almost lost my excitement for my birthday. However, friends around you are always the best finger to tickle you and make u smile! ~silent~~~~ Ok what ever. I am just saying that friends are one of the best comfort in life when you are all defeated! That is why God simply put people around us!

This year I am truly blessed with so many greetings on my FB wall (I can't reply them one by one!), blessed with wonderful gifts from hubby and friends and a lovely call from my mama! I am also blessed with so much work that I almost could not make it home to celebrate my birthday with my beloved cell members! LIFE! 

Above all the stresses, taking photo is an absolute stress relief next to shopping!

This picture gives me the feeling of calmness... Love this pic! Took it with manual mode! AHA! 80%mastering it ald!

Cute? My sis-in-law fav doggy! ahahahahaha!

Work Life - balance/ no balance

Before I begin, let's congratulate my hubby's brothers' wedding aka my bro in-law!

Beautiful yeah?

It may be a super tiring weekend but then it was definitely a memorable moment for the both of them. And for me, it was my first attempt on 'actual day' photography! I LIKE! Well, if i have a chance, I would definitely love to brush up and one day, ONE DAY, I shall be a photographer... money comes by clicking and editing! MUAKS!

First week of August was my final week of freedom! Well, Sunday was officially my last day as a housewife. I have resigned! Monday was my first day in my new job. Well, need not to say, I am already missing my freedom and flexibility. I miss those long holiday and late night hang outs! Well, I am nothing more than just a work-being... Wake up- eat-work-eat-work-eat-sleep-wake up- eat- work- eat - work and goes on! This has been my life for the last two days! Thank God it is a holiday today! But then there is nothing much more than settling my banking stuff, cleaning the house and replenish my sleep! After all that, I am still back to normal routine on improving my knowledge regarding my work.

I am well defeated daily, but then I take what Keith says :- we get up each time we are defeated! Here goes, get up each morning with new motivation and defeated each time after work. Come back, pray and get up again the following day! My rest is always found in the LORD And God is still the best person to talk to.

The only thoughts I have is how to sustain this life by suppressing the pressure? Keep on looking towards the best possibilities to get the best out of this bad routine. After all, our situation is determined by our cosmology aka world view! 

What are the things that I can do to make my life better?

> Get an iphone to get connected... (no personal mail, FB and MSN in work... I wonder reading news is allowed?)

> Sign myself up for a gym membership - to sweat out the stress and tiredness, exercising not only keeps you in shape but then improve your alertness, sharpness and sleeping time (need not take a long hour sleep)! 

> take a good walk and take some pictures - to make life more colorful and meaningful 

> take a nap during lunch - to sustain me through the rest of my day - I am gonna buy a pillow to work!

> Don't get cheated by my work hours - must be smarter and no longer naive

> Options are wide open and I am still young! Exploring opportunities and who knows I might find something suit me best!

> Never neglect God in the times to tiredness... He is still the best rest

> Never throw your stress thoughts to your spouse, you'll never know what it will end up to be...either a peace in your heart or just another stress in your butt!

> Keep smiling not matter how much it hurts

> Look at work positively! It is a learning curve!

> Learn to love the Jam and toll! It is a gift from our government! It is our specialty! It will not be us without them! They truly mold us to be more patient and more creative in our earnings! Hence, we can survive anywhere with anything!

> Enjoy the sunrise while you have been sleeping through it 1/4 of our life! Enjoy the sunset, which we usually miss due to TV.

> munch during work hours! 

> try to wear smth nice to work but smth not too nice.. don;t wanna be too eye catchy!

> Lastly, be the salt and light!
