mentally and physically tired, whole body aches...
that's exactly how i feel at this very moment.
after that bad tonsil and high fever on Christmas and New Year's Day, i thought it was the end of a very bad ending for 2009, but i spoke to soon ... just two weeks ago, the symptoms returned, my throat sore and my body was feeling awkward ... well yeah, tonsil made a come back.
it was so bad that i slept in between my stories ... i'm just thankful i have the nicest chief reporter, he just lets me sleep. i'm sure he was angry to see me taking those long hours nap on my desk but he understood that i wasn't actually feeling well.
wanted to take MC but it was kinda a busy week, and suddenly a colleague fell sick, i guess she needed the break more than me ...
luckily i took a few days off this weekend, i'll be meeting my two precious nieces and that's the best medicine ever, i've packed my stuff and we're driving up to Keningau tomorrow, woohoo, can't wait to have the girls in my arms!!!
so i'm calling it quit early tonight, because i just can't wait for tomorrow... :-).

take it easy ...
i was watching tv this morning and was so amazed at all the new inventions, latest vacuum cleaner, latest washing machine, latest microwave and bla bla bla ...
no doubt inventions are good but i realise it made human lazier, we're getting too lazy to stand up and change the channels because there's remote control, we're just too lazy to pound everything from onions to garlic to chillies to serai to anything because there's man-made blenders, we're just too lazy to do laundry today because tomorrow the washing machine can do the job for us, we're just to start cooking from scratch because the stores have packed ingredients, thanks to Maggi and other companies who made cooking easy
as much i thank to all the genius people who came up with the inventions, i feel bad to all of us for becoming too lazy to even move (that explains my body weight haha), but jokes aside, these inventions have made life easier and people lazier ... where am i getting at? ... i guess we can allow ourselves to enjoy the inventions but we mustn't be too lazy, so lets kick some butts... :-).

tHe CloSuRe...
it's been two months since i last jotted, and many things happened during my absence here - both good and bad
my sorta 10-years relationship ended through an SMS, just as simple as that, dunno whether i should thank the IT for this super-canggih way of breaking-up or otherwise ... but i guess i saw it coming. so i supposedly needed time to destress, to gain my strength back and realise that it was meant to be ... life must go on!
funny thing though, i didn't cry ... is that normal? ok i lied, i cried a little, during my drive home from work on that eventful day, but that was it ... i didn't shed a tear after that, strange?!?...
apart from that black spot in my life, everything else is, suprisingly well.
i get to witness a close friend tying-the-knot. i also got the opportunity to learn that i have really caring, understanding, supporting, good friends out there, who shared my laughters and tears, who held me up when i feel everthing else is tumbling down, they raised me up in my downs ... thanks guys!
ok, no mushy mushy stuff here.
i also went on a fully-paid vacation to Macau, thanks to the Macau Government, had so much fun there ... and best of all, i get to shop in Zhuhai, China, the best place to shop, got myself some good stuff ... and of course for family members. this is the best part of my job, getting free trips but of course, we still have to produce stories at the end of the day.
this time around, i get to spend more time with my nieces ... they're just adorable! Jasmine is now running and baby Cheryl can't stand her walker, she just needs to get out. Their smiles are addictive, just can't get enough of 'em...
overall, i will live my life to the fullest, will i ever find love again? may be yes, may be no, but if i do, i intend to keep it buried in my heart for the rest of my life

the not so Good Friday
it's a Holy-day, i know, it's a time too reflect my wrongdoings and so on ... but something bad happened to me today...
i lost my phones ... cell phones ... again!
the cellphones were charging when i left them, when i woke up this morning, there were gone! I thought i had misplaced the phones and put 'em in my bag, but i thought wrong! they were gone...including all my contacts and pictures of my nieces, the most valuable things in my phones.
the culprit, or culprits, used a long stick to fish out the phones from my house, how come i did not see that coming, especially when i've writen stories about it, i guessed i got careless, stupid of me!!!
on a Good Friday morning, i lost my two cell phones ... so the Holy-day was not a good day for me ... but I just wish that the lost would bring something good for me ...
well, for my friends out there, please send me your contacts, i appreciate that a lot

my pledges
AS usual, i always make new resolutions for the new year, and often i fail to achieve them.
so last new year's eve, i made a difference, i did not make any ... i just thought life is so much simpler that way, i'm not tied down to promises i made for myself, it's just tiring
but, having said that, i did make some new-not-so-difficult pledges, it's just to amuse me i guess, to keep my feet on the ground
so things i must do are:-
- read at least several books i've been buying the last few years but never got the chance to read
- keep up with my diet regime
- save some money
- spend more time with my family
that's it (i guess), not too difficult...so, what's yours?

WRAP UP FOR 2008...
This may came a little bit late, but it's still not that late ... so here it goes
TIME TO REFLECT 2008, WHAT DID I DO LAST YEAR?
- tried new things, met new people, make more money, made new friends (hopefully no enemies…), spent more time with families and friends
Stayed single almost the whole year?
- yeap. almost. may be
Done something you’ve regretted?
- yeap, plenty
Lost someone?
- kinda, may be yes, can't recall any
Cut class?
- what class??? mmmmmmmmmm, OMG, I think I forgot to write one story, ok two stories, actually more than that hehehe
Were involved in something you’ll never forget?
- yeap!
Visited a different country?
- nay, I wish I did
Cooked a gross meal?
- u lost me
Lost something important to you?
- i hope not, can't think of anything hmmmmmmmmm
Got a gift you adore?
- YES, definitely, I love it
Dyed your hair?
- after the funky blond, I think I’ll never dye my hair again, at least not that soon
Came close to losing your life?
- yeah, almost, fell asleep while driving but nothing major (and I was NOT drunk), tired ja la, but I hope it’ll never happen again, touchwood
Went to a party?
- honestly, hardly, except for birthdays and weddings, nothing to shout about
Read a great book?
- I tried but failed
Saw one of your favorite bands/artists live?
- nope
2008: FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Did you meet any new friends this year?
- a lot
Did you dislike anyone?
- I don’t dislike people, I think they dislike me (haha) but there must be a very good and valid reason for me to dislike people, then again, dislike is so much better than hate…but I hope I don’t dislike anyone
Did you grow apart from anyone?
- yeah. i knew somehow it would end, i just didn't know that it would hurt that much, but i guess it's part and parcel of life, it's like a transition, life is superly unpredictable, right?
Do you have any regrets when it comes to your friendships?
- yeah, I just wish that things could be different, I love my friends and their ships too (haha), but I wish things were different
2008: YOUR BIRTHDAY!
Did you have a cake?
- nope…just lots of wishes
Did you get any presents?
- I don’t think so…sad
2008: ALL ABOUT YOU
Did you change at all this year?
- may be I did, I don’t know, ooooo ya, I did lose some of the KGs, so that’s totally an achievement, and i think i'm more mature (kinda)
Did you change your style?
- I stopped changing my style since time immemorial, since I realise that I should be saving than buying new cloths (ya right, I don’t see my $$$ multiplying either hehe)
Were you in school?
- nope, but I did send my mom to her school (for the record, she’s a teacher, not student)
Did you have a job?
- yup and is still loving it!
Did you drive?
- of course
Did you own a car?
- yes, I did
Did anyone close to you give birth?
- yesssssss…my sister Emmy Jane just gave birth to her second daughter Cheryl Nadia Wong on Dec 24, soooooo cute
Did you go on any vacations?
- no, except if balik kampung counts hehe
would you change anything about yourself now?
- this should not be asked at all. everyone wants to change something to make them better. less of a worrier, slimmer, healthier me, and more money, and in my case, probably kinder
2008: WRAP UP:
Was 2008 a good year?
- it’s definitely a turning point for me, I realised that there are so many opportunities out there, it’s just up to us to grab it, keep trying till u get it
- To wrap 2008…I’d say… : “full of drama!”
Do you think 2009 will top 2008?
- I hope so! There’s too many to achieve, too many to mention but I hope the new year brings a new start, wanna restructure, reinvent my life for the good of myself and my family, and yes my friends
