Grievances

A quick update before I plonk myself into bed. My maternal grandfather passed away last Friday. Friends who have asked me how I was coping, said this to me, "You sound unconcerned though." I received that comment TWICE. I will dedicate a post to him soon, just not now as I am still recovering from the stress and heartaches. But let me explain the above situation now, lest I sound like a bad granddaughter. I lost someone whom I was really close to two years ago. The pain of that loss was somehow buried deep in the corners of my heart and I never want to experience it again. Knowing my grandfather was admitted into the ICU, that knowledge brought back the memories of that death two years ago. The pain I was trying to forget, threatened to resurface. I do not want to cry again. I do not want to keep crying. To do that, I pretended that nothing was going to happen to my grandfather. I pretended that nothing was wrong. I admit I sounded very unconcerned. But it wa...

Warning: Do not read if you are sensitive or squeamish about the female anatomy. *big wide grin* Shoo...! October is breast cancer awareness month. To 'celebrate' or to create awareness, La Senza recently had a one day sale for members!!! 50% off on all items from any range BUT only if you hit 10 items. Less than that, no 50% for you. Well, obviously, 10 items at one go is a lot for girls. We only have a pair of boobs. We're not cows... Unless you're a female cat or dog, then you can easily get 10 items and wear three to four pairs at once. Hmmm.... odd picture forming in my head. Hahaha. Anyway, yours truly is not a member. But Chian Li is!!! Thank you so so much! She was so wonderful to call (or msg)  me to join in with her in the shopping special. I needed new bras and was in dire need of more 'support' , you know? :P Needed undies too but abandoned the thought when I saw the gorgeous bras!! (La Senza has great bra designs) I got two! Yippee... One...

Future in the Coming

Well, at least I sort of have a plan now. Work hard, just do my best. Do time management properly, slot in part time classes for a Master's degree (pending next year I hope), improve and equip myself with knowledge, experience and useful living skills. (Being able to wolf down a Matterhorn burger is not considered one.) The future is always hazy. Some people rush to get out of it, often knocking into poles, boulders along the way because they could not see. Some take it slow, taking one step at a time as much as their vision allows them to. Some prefer to wait for the haze to clear before doing anything. Me? The haze has somehow cleared a bit and I can see a diversion up ahead. Hopefully I will be able to take the road that I plan to and be successful in it. Hopefully with the experience, knowledge, skills gained throughout the few years will push me up the career ladder greatly in the far future. Hopefully. :)
