Today's Steven's birthday. Happy Birthday :*

In my haste this morning to send him an e-card, I accidentally sent it to the wrong e-mail. Goodness knows if that e-mail address exists.. xD But I heard gmail doesn't allow underscores, so I may be safe from embarrassment :D

Just two weeks ago I celebrated my birthday. ^^ I get younger each year :D

What can I get for RM20 at most?

Almost a month after Christmas, my department's having a secret santa thingy with presents loosely capped at RM20.

Currently, I've no idea what to buy.

I also have no idea what to put on my wishlist that is within RM20.

So after pondering for a bit, I think I found some items that I want that may be below RM20. But I still don't know what to get for my recipient........

I need ideas!

It's only the beginning

The graduation is over, but there's still lingering stuff about NEP going about. Things like thank you notes, recycle-able items, props and stuff is yet to be settled. At least, it has now taken less than 5% of my office time! :D

But that does not mean I'm shaking my legs a lot in office. There's still quite a lot to do, and I'm hoping to juggle things well. Work and off-work. I do wonder how to reason about not being that type that stays in the office morning to night. Not that I'm against it, and not to say I'm not passionate about my work. I'm just too passionate.. about too many things xD

Tho I'd like to be passionate about my work. Doing that makes me feel good with what it comes with: my earnings. Basically, I don't want to work because I have to. I want to work because I like to. But me running off from the office doesn't mean the other way. Like I said, there are other things I enjoy too!

Soon, my weekends will be dedicated to sailing again. Oh how I want to go further from where I am now. Besides that, other things I'd like to do is play squash, attempt to discipline myself to go gym again, and attempt to improve my Mandarin.

There are things that I've let go due to overstretching myself... one of them being dancing. :(

Oh well, it's still only the beginning! :)

(Btw, I haven't gotten any pics/vids from the actual grad night yet)

What's a fever without the cough and cold?

What a way to start 2010!

On Wednesday, I started feeling the chills and feeling very uncomfortable in the office. My appetite's gone and I could hardly think. (Yes, I do think ok). I was supposed to have a meeting Wednesday afternoon, but at lunch time, I felt really nauseous, so I postponed the meet, took EL and went home just after lunch time.

I ended up having a temperature of 39 C / 102.2 F not long after I arrived home and rested in bed. Besides that, I was throwing up whatever I ate followed by a massive headache.

Pretty much the rest of Wednesday and the whole of Thursday was spent in bed. I visited the doctor Thursday morning whom says what I have may be attributed to stress. :P

Somehow managed to muster enough energy to go to the office on Friday o.O It was a busy day. The throwing up still happened, once at work, and many times after. But Friday was the day the diarrhoea began. Without the stomach pain.

Anyway, whatever it is, it's weird. Saturday was better, and I went out a bit. To fetch Schramper and Chumil! :D I'll introduce them later.

Sunday's good. Looks like no more throwing up today. Normal appetite's not back yet tho

Result of Two Homes

One week prior to the wedding, up to yesterday, I was staying in Rudy's old room in P16. Now that things are more calmer, I opted to stay in Surian yesterday. So, tonight we had tickets to watch Red Cliff 2 at 9.10 pm. Since Rudy lives nearby, and it being a late movie, I wanted to hitch a ride with him, as I rather not drive alone at night. At about 7.30 pm we talked on the phone to reconfirm our plans, and he told me that they're planning to leave the house at 8 pm. So at about 8 pm, I got ready, and was pretty much ready to go at 5 minutes past 8.

Events:
8.13 pm (approx)
Fai nee-chan called to say that they're arriving soon. So I went downstairs to wait.

7 minutes later
Still no sign of them, I wandered back an forth around the lobby.

8.20 pm
Rudy called.
Rudy: Where are you?
Me: Where am I? Where are you?
Rudy: Downstairs lah.
Me: I'm also downstairs, near Block B. (at that time I wandered towards Block B, while in Surian I stay in Block C, but Block B in P16)
Rudy: Why aren't you near the benches?
Me: What benches? (There aren't any in Surian)

It didn't occur to me right away, but they just realised that they were picking me up in P16 while I was at Surian...

Lesson learnt, we're not gonna assume things anymore xD

Thoughts of Conflict

I think I tend to create all sorts of complications within myself, and stuff around me. Now I'm filled in conflict, as half my mind says this, half my mind says the other. It's always hard to be simple, as much as I yearn for it.

Now comes to the two hardest issues to create compromise. Yet instilled in my mind, one factor easily reigns over the other. But the consequences? Am I gonna sacrifice something I've always wanted? My mind feels so at loss, it seeps endlessly through my thoughts and takes away my appetite too.

Are the differences finally catching up? Saying that it's not gonna happen? I really hope not. Is this how it's gonna be like? My mind has loads of questions wanting to come out, but I woke up too late today. I'm hoping to ask, if not now, but when we meet later, and I hope he'll be there and willing to answer.
