Let the be light!

CJ — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 01:47:15 +0000

The light in my mini office is actually quite dim. In fact, whenever I work on my computer, I can hardly see the letters on the keyboard. It’s THAT dim. And the fact that I’ve just got an IKEA floor lamp next to my table still does not help much – maybe because the lamp’s light is facing upward instead of downwards where I needed light the most.

I guess it’s time to get some ceiling light fixtures right above my seat. Maybe that will enhance the brightness on my table. Else, just get a mini lamp to put right beside my computer screen. Instant fix! :-D

Scorching hot weather today :(

With the hot weather like this, I think nobody wants to get out from the comfort of their home. That includes me! Was out having breakfast with my parents and partner this morning when the heat got into all of us. Everyone complained about how hot it is. It’s waaaaaay too hot! I told my mom that I pity those who had to work outside, under the hot scorching sun. Like that man we saw clearing the bushes at the cemetery. So kesian…. Would be nice to just stay at home (or work from home) enjoying the newly installed flat screen tv with the flat panel mounts installed, sipping a glass of cold orange juice.. Wahhhhh!

Maybe it’ll rain later today making it all cool again. :-)

Just another manic.. Monday?

It feels like Monday today. My workload is piling up and I feel like I’m moving too slow. Could it be that my table is getting smaller coz it’s filled up with stuffs now? Do I need to get a new rack to keep my files, books and whatnot? And do I need to get a new logitech universal remote for my mouse, wifi (eh, can kah??) and lights? I feel like I need an assistant to help me with things! :-(

But like my brother said, being busy means money. Oh yeah! And I have one person to thank for that. Dear God. :-)

Beautiful evening like this…

It finally rain today!! And… twice! Woohoo!! I’m so happy that the cloud finally waters the earth with it’s beautiful rain. It was quite a heavy rain, I must say. And I took the chance to have my power nap in the afternoon. Even my dog agrees that it’s a nice afternoon to sleep in. He slept with me on the bed the whole time! LOL

Of course, I was hungry when I woke up and there’s just too many things to eat, I don’t even know where to start. And since I am trying to lose some weight before my cousin’s wedding, I decided to skip the junk food and go for healthier choice – an apple. Ha ha. Went to my table and start surfing the Net for nothing. Just surfing and reading about structured settlement quote – which I have no idea what it was.

And then I feel even more hungry! Guess I should try those noodle my sister bought. It looks yummy!

Dream the impossible dream

As a child, I’ve always wanted to be a ballerina. But my parents moved from city to another due to work, so my dancing classes was always put into halt. Not every city has a ballerina class, which made it even more difficult for me. Towards the end, I had to bury my dreams. I now collect ballerina figurines or anything that has a ballerina printed on it.

Maybe when I have a child of my own someday, I will sign her up for ballet class and dress her in the cutest tutu I can find. And on her birthday, I’d get her gifts for ballerinas! That way, my dream would somehow..come true. :-)

Long day today…

Accompanied my partner for his car service this morning.. It was a total long wait that we had a couple of drinks and cookie binging while the men at the workshop worked on the car. We even had time to joke around – there was this time when a stylish woman walked by and my partner gave me the eye-contact. After the woman left, he mentioned to me that she looked kind of like Amy Winehouse. I don’t see which part of the woman resembles Ms Winehouse, she don’t even strike to me like she needed to go check herself at a methadone detox rehab treatment center..until I saw her tattoos. LOL. Yeah, Amy Winehouse type of tattoos.

We also bought a few packets of ‘kuih batang buruk’ for my partner’s workmates in KL. Since he’s going for the annual staff meeting next week, I think it’ll be nice if he bring along some food from Sabah for them to try. Besides, the ‘kuih batang buruk’ we bought was so yummy… :-)

Back to school

CJ — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:54:58 +0000

A few of my friends are going back to school. Most of them are signing up for weekend classes and stuff, which got me into thinking of signing up myself, now that I work from home. Weekend classes should be fine! Perhaps I’ll try out a programme that has something to do with graphic design, but not before I read through those Online bachelor degrees programme available on the Net. If not, maybe just join my friends and sign up for these weekend classes at our local university.

Money matter

Someone was telling me that this year is a good year to invest. “Start to plan and invest your money. Dragon is a good year to make money.” So I was told.

Is it? Is Dragon really a good year to make money? Or invest? If you believe in feng shui or whatever that goes toward it, maybe Dragon is indeed a good year. Maybe we should start investing on buying gold coins or buy silver coins and store them somewhere. Or maybe EVERY year is a good year to invest money or make money.

To me, I believe that you don’t have to see what year it is. No matter what year, you HAVE to make money and save some. Trust me, I know..

New Year already?

CJ — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:53:26 +0000

New Year is drawing in real close. Bet everyone’s busy preparing for a party, celebrating the coming of a new year.. So what’s your new year resolution? A few of my friends are planning for a marriage next year, some trying to lose weight (and that includes me!).. and another is building a new home! Whatever your plans are, please do not overdo it, especially when it involves $$$. We wouldn’t want to end up having lots of debts, do we? Or best, get some debt advice before venturing into loans and such.

Most of all, I wish you all to have a better new year next year.

To lash or not to lash

My partner and I went out last night. We were supposed to go see a friend doing a concert/show but we had to cancel the outing last minute.. and I was wearing a mascara! What a waste of mascara. Ha ha ha! I also noticed that I’m running low on the mascara supplies… guess I’d be doing some serious makeup shopping real soon at Sephora, KL. *hee*

I heard from a friend that it’s not a good thing to curl your mascara all the time. It’ll make you lose more lashes, she said. Well I’m not really sure if that’s true (I should do a google search on this lah). If it’s true then perhaps it’s time read up eyelash growth product review and start investing on eyelash growth product! At least it’ll save me some time from applying eyelash curler and probably mascara too.

We’ll see.. after I google some stuff.
