4th Day of CNY 2011

Posted on February 6, 2011February 8, 2011 By sweet surrender No Comments on 4th Day of CNY 2011

It’s the 4th day already! It’s going back to work day tomorrow for some. Including me… Oh well… Have work appointment so what to do?

Strangely I don’t blog much about CNY this year. Simple, It’s not as happening as it used to. This post is enough to summarize these 5 days…

CNY’s eve, painted my toenails red and added some nail stickers on it. First time painted my toenails red ;p All thanks to my sis who is back for CNY this year, it’s been 5 years I think… Lost track. She has red nail polish so I used it. I found myself liking this red toenails more and more hahaha… I didn’t shop for shoes this year. The shoes I’m wearing was bought in 2009. As for clothes, my sister did the shopping for me ;p Whatever she bought, those she couldn’t wear, it would be mine. I only bought two sleeveless t-shirts and a clincher online.


Fireworks war(illegal but who cares?) around the neighbourhood welcoming the rabbit year but it was short lived because of the rain. However, once the rain stopped, they started again. Then again, it’s pretty quiet this year at least for my area. It’s not as crazy as it used to be. Even these few nights were not that noisy, just random ones.


Left: Rabbit cookies we ordered for my sis hahaha… She’s born in the year of rabbit.

Right: Cake form my cousin, used to have Secret Recipe’s but not this year.


Day 1: Woke up at around 10am. It was a gloomy and wet day. Went over to my friend’s house in the afternoon as usual… That’s what I did on the first day all these years LOL. Only one house and that’s it. No one came over, the usual ones are no longer in Kuching. Quiet day…

Day 2: I’m sick! I felt so weak, nose was runny. Stayed home whole day, watched series online and watched TV. Nothing much, no one came. Went to bed earlier than usual.

Day 3: Woke up at 10am+, felt slightly better. My friend said that he’s coming over at around 11am! =.= I only got out of the shower at 11am hahaha… When he came, my hair was still wet, no makeup on. So… He waited for me while helping himself with the newspapers on the table. After that, we headed out to visit our friends. Everyone wasn’t home. Only went to one house and went back to his place to wait for the others to come since they’re out and about instead of us visiting them. We didn’t have any plan this year for group visiting. It was all impromptu. Whatever, I was pretty sluggish because of the flu. It’s not me driving anyway. Met quite a number of friends from college but not as many as it used to.

In fact, I had some plans to visit some friends but I was sick and I still am. So I scraped the idea. I don’t want my virus to spread to the babies -.-” Talking about babies, damn… Our topic yesterday at the second house we went was all about hitting 30! Also, shooting each other with “when is your turn??” even though we all know it’s still very far fetch ;p Gosh! 30 and achieving nothing much when many of our friends are already few levels ahead of us(singles/not married and struggling to find our path in lives, only us got the time to meet up during CNY, the so called not-settling-down-group ;p). The already-settled-down-group were just too busy with their own lives and it’s hard to hang out like we used to. Life…

Day 4: Here I am… Sitting at home doing nothing hahaha… Thought of tomorrow, I dread it… So lazy ;p Luckily I’m my own boss.

That’s all about my CNY this year. There’s still one week plus to go, will there be any surprise by then. I don’t know… Not putting any hope at all. Some stuffs just didn’t go as I had planned and hoped. I don’t know what to expect, time will tell. Life still goes on even though kind of dreading the reality but what to do? It’s just parts and parcels of our lives. We can just hope and do our best.

All I know is that I need to get some matters settle before I embark on the next adventure. Some might know about it, some don’t. Whatever it is, I’m likely won’t be celebrating my CNY here next year. We’ll see how by then. Just goes as the flow.

Wishing all of your a happy and smooth sailing year ahead!

Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Posted on September 4, 2010September 5, 2010 By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Happy 28th Birthday to Me

Time flies… I’m turning 28 this year, going to hit 30 in no time! However, I don’t feel like I’m 28, instead I’m only 18 hahaha…

At this age, many of my friends are either engaged, married, have children, climbing up the corporate ladder, buying properties, and so on. Everyone is moving to the next phase of life. One of my friends gave birth to her first child yesterday, just few hours shy away from sharing the same birth date as mine 😉

Me? None of the mentioned. I’m still trying to figure out where I belong to, where I want to end up in life. As many of you know, I have a plan for next year, most know what it’s all about and I’m sure by reading some of my posts you will roughly know too. It will be a turning point for me, trying to discover my strengths and weaknesses by getting out of my comfort zone and trying to figure out where my life should lead me to. I believe there is something out there, something hidden inside of me that is not discovered, I need to find it, that’s why I’m not settling down and there’s no sign of me settling down too, not until I found what I want or what I’m supposed to do. It’s a huge step, I’m going to explore a whole new environment, a whole new life awaiting me. Will I end up with it after the period of time ended or come back to my comfort zone? We will have to see by then.

Remember my IELTS exam? I can’t laugh sigh… I got a phone call yesterday telling me that I have to resit. I thought of changing plan but apparently after doing some research, I have no other option but go back to the initial plan. Sigh… So… I will be resitting IELTS this coming 25th September hopefully will nail it this time. All component 7!!

I’m very worry about writing because the topics are fixed, speaking part I’m quite worry too because I tend to become disoriented if I got too excited+nervous and I would forget about my grammar, run out of vocabulary and “lies”(ideas) just like what happened that time *gulp* Seriously need to overcome this problem. In fact I’m also worry about the listening part, I was lucky the first time, not sure will I be lucky this time around to score almost a perfect 9.

I guess my main problem was being too nervous that day, I hope this time around I will not be so nervous anymore because I’ve been there once and I know what to expect. That’s one expensive “tuition fee”. Have to part with another RM550!! Not cheap! Total will be RM1100, this amount is enough for me to travel to several places or about 1 month rental for next year 🙁 What I’m afraid now is if I still do not get at least 7 for each of the component, I’m seriously in deep shit.

I have more or less 20 days to prepare but after subtracting those days that I will be packed, I have an average of less than a week to prepare 🙁 Then again, I now have problem with how to prepare for the resit. I’m so lost, I have no idea where to start, I’ve exhausted everything I could find and do that time. Am I going to do the preparation the same way? I really don’t know…

Anyway, that’s all for today. Have a great weekend!

Cut My Looooong Hair

Posted on August 25, 2010August 25, 2010 By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Cut My Looooong Hair

Finally shorten my hair ;p Not much, at least shorter than it used to be. The length was below my waistline but because of my natural curls it didn’t seem that long. Can’t stand it anymore, finally got time to cut it today. My last hair cut was more than 6 months ago.

Here you go… No more dyed end also, it’s now my original colour, virgin hair. It was blown dry, my curls will be back after the next wash. It won’t look this long after that 😉

Usually when I cut my hair, there will be some changes to it but nothing much this time ;p just shortened it, still very long right? My brother said it seemed not cut ;p hahaha… No bang too as I feel quite lazy to maintain one and decided to let it grow out.

Wonder should I get it coloured again? Hmmm… Means spend money again, I don’t think I’ll dye it any sooner, no money to spare. Just let it be.

A Trolley Token for Irene

Posted on July 24, 2010July 25, 2010 By sweet surrender No Comments on A Trolley Token for Irene

A trolly token for me… If not mistaken, my parents bought this in Scotland. Anyway let’s see what printed on it…

Goddess of Peace, yes… I love peace. I can’t stand people arguing or fighting with each other. Such act freaks me out. Usually I would leave the place immediately if that is happening else I’ll be the one breaking down in there even though it got nothing to do with me.

I only think winning thoughts, yes and no, depending on the situation.


Always finishes a task that I begun, quite true. You can trust me on that. Those who had worked with me before know this. I will make sure I complete the task no matter what, I can’t let it just hang there halfway, I’ll have sleepless nights if I do that. That’s why I think a lot whenever I have another commitment coming. I have to make sure I can complete the current task and make sure I can complete the one coming.

Thoughtful and serene, always thinks of others. Oh hell yes! That’s why I’m always being taken advantage of and also always forget about my own needs. Bad… It’s bad for me. Also, whenever I want to do something, I always think of others first before myself which is why it’s hard for me to make a decision most of the time. The major decision that I had made recently actually took me more than a year of considerations, even now I’m still not 100% sure. In fact, I’m learning to be more selfish now. *blek*


Time to sleep. Good night!

Me, myself and I
