I Wonder...

"There are many things to laugh about forcibly

Like a wind-up doll, like it's my job, I laugh...."

"Because I smile every day

Because I show my smiles,

They think I am happy..."

"But how can I smile, how can I smile....

I smile and I smile but tears flow again"

F. Scott Fitzgerald's

Way of Love

Said I won't cry

heard this song through the radio while i was driving back earlier. The singer/writer (Kelly Poon from Singapore) said she wrote this song while she was going through a heartbreak (if I understand correctly....)

A nice song...a song that touches my heart...in a way :D

Meet my son...

Welcome and please meet my son Peng Xin from Pingquan, China.

And today, he's turning 7!! Happy Birthday Boy!!

(gonna go shop for small gifts to send to him later - I am seriously not really a good mum)

Ok, to explain, he isn't exactly my biological son. He's the child I am sponsoring through World Vision. I applied to sponsor a girl, but World Vision paired me up with Peng Xin. Not sure is this an error on my application but then its no longer important as i believe it is just fate. He's an Arien (both my mum and bro are Ariens too) which is a compatible sign with Leo (me). So everything is GOOD! :D

Some might ask and question why on earth would I fork out RM50 a month? I barely have enough to spend for myself so shouldn't I just keep the money for my own rainy days? and how much can you help with the RM50 a month? Can't even feed him a week....But what other things can I do with the RM50? 4 cups of Starbucks? 2 days' meal and its all gone! So why don't I just use it to sponsor a child?

You see, the money that I am donating every month don't directly go to Peng Xin or his family. But instead, it is pooled together with other sponsors and these money will then be used to build infrastructure to help improve health, education and economy at Peng Xin's village on a long term plan. It is to help improve a community, not just one person's life.

I believe I myself can't change the world. But I know, I can change someone's life. And for that, I've decided to sponsor a child. At least Peng Xin know there's someone out there from another country who cares about him and hopefully this will give him the motivation to strive to study hard for his better future. I've always been bless with a good set of parents and education opportunities and now that I am earning my own money, I would like to be able to help and give back to the community.

So, if you feel what I've said make sense, like this post and go to www.worldvision.com.my and get yourself a sponsor child!

Good week ahead! I am now leaving the office to go grab my first dinner in 2 days!

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do" - Edward Everett Hale

just when i am feeling fugly...

Walked around the mall together with 2 pretty colleagues (one of them is a celebrity). And since I was wearing a pair of flat-flats today with VERY casual clothing, I felt unattractive and un-sexy standing beside them both. Furthermore, my hair is in a mess - I left my hair styling cream in Penang so I have not been styling my hair for a week already. and being a cheapskate and being in a terrible financial constraint now, decided to not buy the cream and endure a few more days till I go back Penang.....

So while walking, I just made myself busy replying mails from my phone (a new phone which i have not blog yet) and suddenly one of my colleague turned to me and said,

M: That guy pusing 2 kali (that guy turn twice)

E: ahahha. to tengok you lah (checking you out) *still busy replying mail on the phone*

M: No-lah. He tengok you lar (No! He was looking at you)

E: Betulkah? (Really?)

M: Yalah (YES!)

E: mana satu? (which one?)

M: itu... (that ....) *fingers point to someone ... which I have no idea which guy..)

E: Handsomekah? (Is he handsome?)

M: HANDSOME!

E: aiyah.... tak nampak (wasted... I didn't get to see his face)

LMAO! Guys checking me out when I feel absolutely lousy and ugly? LOL

Sorry everyone for being away for a while...working life had kept me away from all my personal-work-time... :(

Let's hope the next blog won't be too far away from here.....

Beginning of a New Chapter

A short post.

My boss found my blog and he say i should probably mention in my blog and shout out to the world that I got the job!

So here it is Boss! :D

Felix- The Adopted Cat

Felix is the cat that one of my housemate adopted from the streets. For the past few weeks, he have been coming in and out of the house and we've sort of got used to him being in the house... FYI, I hate cats. I still do (i think). I am a dog person but somehow I just got used to having Felix around.

Currently he's undergoing a surgery to safe his eyesight and eyeball. hopefully Felix will do well and the vet do some miracle and magic and safe this few months old cat from the harsh world out there when all of us move out of this neighbourhood.

I Survived?

No. Not officially yet since my lecturer just gave me an additional week to improve it.

Just feel so relief now that the presentation is over. Some burdens that I've been feeling for the last couple of months had just been loaded off. The sleepless nights. The boring weekends spend stuck in the room vectoring and animating. The fear that lecturers won't like my work...

But now its over :D receive some good comments so I AM HAPPY and RELIEF!

And today, I found out that my lecturer(s) actually read my blog. So if you are reading this, HI Miss! Hi Sir!

Okay, i am going off for an early night tonight as I have to wake up in 6 hours for my morning class later. See you soon....

Healthy Substitute

Now this is indeed the perfect healthy substitute to my recent Ramly burger addiction

www.jimpancakes.com (Got this link via my lecturer's twit :P)

It is gonna be a great weekend

Woke up, switch on my computer, click on Facebook.com

and I saw this picture ........

Image taken from Switch's Facebook fan page

Someone was spotted carrying a Switch's recycle shopping bag at Starbucks this morning. What a great motivation to start the weekend stuck in my room working on my project :D (FYI, I designed that bag)

Hope every one have a great weekend and Happy Mothers' Day!

MUMMY, I LOVE YOU !!!

Caught in the act

Starbucks & Me

Loving my the-one-and-only Starbuck tumbler more each passing day :D

Penang and food, wait up!! Eileen's coming!

Lay's Heaven

a HUUUUUGE packet of drugs to take all the blues and stress away!!

handsome-ness!!

Saw this handsome over at Juice KL's facebook wall pictures. I am sooo in love with it. I know... probably you might have think I am going nuts in love with this guy-ish sneakers right? but well, no one say a girl can't like or wear a guy's pair of shoes. :P

Most importantly its the combination of JackPurcell + Product(Red)+ CLOT! I'm sooooooooo tempted to get this pair man which I think will probably cost me a fortune! :(

Let's hope Edison Chen drop by my humble blog by chance, read this and decide to give me a discount :D ahahahha

Happy Easter everyone!!
