Hi Hi Hi!!!! Today is the beginning of a thousand new good things!
Times Square is opening, D is back, house moving soon and who knows anything could happen ;) !
Well, having finished my home leave for the past two weeks not doing anything in particular except perhaps gorging on fantastic food one cannot find in KL......ok, hard-pressed to find.....sometimes I feel it was a waste to spend such a long period of time not actually doing anything. Would have loved to have had a vacation somewhere especially since it's going to be another year before I get to do this again. But then, one cannot always get what one wants eh? At the very least, I am still happy, healthy and safe and sound.
Am actually quite excited about moving house. Hope this one will turn out better than the last one. God knows, I cannot do this again in the near future. Moving house is such a damn chore especially since it's not like I am moving into my own new home. Have been thinking about that alot lately, getting me own place. But God knows how I am going to afford it since I am not into buying and selling or renting but into buying my HOME. Somewhere I can do up nicely and without a third thought about expense but actually doing it up the way I like it and being able to call it my own. Hence, I want someplace cool with a nice space with good neighbours and nearby facilities. What any normal sane person wants actually. Shouldn't be too hard eh?
By the way, just wanted to say that I went to watch 'Jit Hits the Fan' at Actor's Studio recently. It wasn't too bad but at RM42 for a measly hour, it definitely is too expensive. Not to detract from Jit, I mean the man can be funny (although even he himself admits he ain't no Robin Williams or Ray Romano ((read: stand up comic)) ) but come on, 40 big and 2 small ones for 60 minutes? No can do. I ain't doing it again. Although Jit, if you're reading this and you're gonna give me free entrance to 're-evaluate' your comedic prowess, I would be happy to oblige.
(Am beginning to sound like someone I know....)
Think Happy Thoughts!

This is only the second time that I have seen this new template of Blogger's so you can guess how long it has been since I've written anything. Actually the truth is I have written stuff....time-sensitive material which focused on my moods and opinions of the moment. Yes, I wrote them at work but then I never brought home my good ole pen and paper jottings and thus, no one has seen the poor forgotten things!
Anyhow, am currently on long leave and looking forward to going back home; good food, good friends, family. What more can a girl ask for eh?
So, here's to two weeks of me lazing about the house, no access to email except Astro, The Star and good food, good friends and family! I don't know to say if I am enjoying the essence of life or that life is passing me by. I guess it is a matter of personal perception and priorities isn't it?
Some people hunger and hanker for the RICH life and therefore, the here and now is filled to the brim (forgive the accidental exciting phrase!) with work, microwave dinners and more work. I guess it's harder for guys isn't it cos if you were a girl then what the heck, MARRY a rich guy! Hhahahhahaaaaa.....but seriously, I guess it is important to work really hard and let your career fill your days......only if you achieve job satisfaction and you actually love the job that is! Because if you don't but yet you spend 80% of your time on it, then life isn't worth it eh cos who knows, before you get RICH, you could get HIT BY A BUS!
If you ask me, job satisfaction is one of the top five qualities to achieve in life. Jump around, look for better and better jobs until you find one that makes you not want to go to the doctor's every morning which pays you enough (and a bit) and then stick around. Stick around because not much could make you voluntarily give up the job.
Simple isn't it - life. Graduate, fall in 'love', first job, break your heart, second job, fall in 'love', buy a car, third job, fall in love, settle mutual hopes, dreams, goals, buy a home, get married, move up the ladder, have first kid, buy better car, make Assistant Vice President, second kid (perhaps), buy another car, celebrate husband's making CEO and your making it good in the industry as well, live happily ever after.
Ok, the fairytale comes true for one in a ....thousand? But at the very least, fall in love, achieve job satisfaction, nurture a happy healthy family, find financial security and enjoy and appreciate all the life has given you.
It is becoming easier and easier to see that people marry quite easily nowadays. Everywhere you look there's a wedding happening and people just seem to jump into the boat like they're buying a holiday package. But it isn't! It is infinitely more difficult and fulfilling than that. Growing older without the pressure of getting married and having the wonderful experience of seeing others go through it first certainly has its benefits. You realise that so much goes into a marriage. So much to settle before and after the decision to commit your life to another person.
And then there's the kids, I mean, how much more difficult do you want to make a marriage? I just have never been one for kids so I guess that's a rather prickly issue for me.
Anyways, I guess I have highlighted a few important issues for people on the verge of marriage. There are a shocking number of marriages that fall apart but guess what, if you jump with the right one (meaning the one you're willing to fight for through thick and thin), marriage can be WONDERFUL.....at least that is what I visualise it to be......it has to be eh? Otherwise what is it all for????

Please check out the end to Temptation Island for those who were in Livingston watching it with me!
One surprising ending and two not at all revelations.

One surprising ending and two not at all revelations.
I must be getting old.....otherwise I would't be feeling as tired as I feel now!
It definitely has to be a combination of the late late nights and earlyish mornings coupled with the great demands of work, thought and exercise; but I have to be changing something or else my body is going to rebel! The only thing I am surprised about is that I haven't fallen ill yet.
Have not been able to catch 'The Amazing Race' as it shows on Friday night. Have had to watch video tapings of it and again this seasonl, I find it hard to remember all the names of the contestants except for the more 'exciting' ones. Is the interest waning or is the show losing its touch? But I was however, very pleasantly surprised when they were in Malaysia (Sabah, guys, not Borneo!) for more than an hour!
Also they highlighted so many interesting places in Sabah that I think I would love to visit! Gomantong Caves, the Sepilok Orang Utan Reserve......it's time for us to get to know our own country don't you think?
Shopping......so many venues so little time. I haven't shopped in ages! So many things on the mind. Wish I could just get away and relax...........yes definitely time for that now!
No energy for big and heavy thoughts now....no debates....no intellectual discussions.

Yes, another month of non-news!
If I won the lottery tomorrow, I wonder if I would quit working! Just travel the world for a bit, go home and relax. Spend time with my family perhaps start my own business where I go around the world, looking for unusual trinkets to sell in Malaysia.
Life is good but not very good. Unsure of how I can explain it. It seems like I have everything, good job, good family, good friends and relationships but then....sometimes, life is always what it looks like on the surface. I don't know how to explain it even to myself. Is everything alright or is alot not? Have you ever had periods like this?
There's so much to think about but when you try to scrutinise the big picture, you think to yourself, there's not much cause for complaint. But somehow, something somewhere deep inside you knows things could be better.
What can I say, I have reached my mid-life crisis! Hhahahahahahhahaa
Anyhoo, another day....is just that, another day. Doesn't life change? Why is everything routine? It's especially bad, I guess, if the routine were ROUTINE!
We should just learn to be happy. But should we be content with what we have or should we strive to better what is? Stir the stagnant pool. Everyone deserves the best and if you don't grab it for yourself, you sure as !!!! can't expect it to fall from the sky.
The thing is, do I have the courage to stir the stagnant pool?

OK, one month of laziness! I know! Don't chastise!
I have been really busy at work. Have started training my team already and it's hard work. Not because of them, but because you have to be constantly on the lookout and on the alert. Your mind is always thinking of ways to explain. Not as easy as one would think it to be.
So that's all life has been so far.....Have also been packing up to move. Hired a lorry and shifted my stuff over this morning and am damn glad that tomorrow is a holiday still!
Wonder what happened on Temptation Island! Have to go check it out. Look out for more updates from me!

KYOO TV - Temptation Island
Ok, this is another reality show I am watching every Wednesday night at 9pm. It's getting better now since things are heating up and I do think the sluts of the group are Alana and Clinton. Other than that, everybody's been pretty goody two shoes so far.
Nothing much happens on Temptation Island. I wonder how they made a reality game show of it. They basically drink, party, swim, date and cheat on their partners. There is no genius to it, there is no plot to it. The only thing you need for this show is people who want to cheat on their partners on national television in front of the whole wide world.
Voyeurism - that's what it's all about. But I guess as long as there are people like me watching the show, it'll go on and on and on.

channel4.com - E4 - YOUR FACE OR MINE?
Can you believe this game show? All they do is sit around comparing each other's faces to other people's and say which is better looking. In the end they have to compare each other and decide to bet all the money they have picked up on who is the more gorgeous of the two partners.....Hmmm...I wonder what my partner would say....
