I'm engaged!

wow.. the last time i put up post was last year.. haha.. time really flies.. i really wondered where they go. i remember that i was in a totally different emotion.. i was contemplating whether to marry the guy i have been goin out for the past 10 years.. & now, fast forward 1 year later in 2008.. i'm engaged! i'm engaged since 23rd dec 2007. was super excited initially.. got all those bridal books, mags & even joined the bridal forum but as time goes by, the excitement begun to sink down and now, 9 months has passed, NOTHING is planned!

well, i'm really focusing on my career now.. this year is an extremely crucial year for me because i'm goin for a promotion next year! my kind of promotion is kinda different because it's not determined by someone above me.. but it's a promotion that i have a total control in. as long as i'm able to fulfill the requirements that's needed, there's no way the company won't promote me. i'm goin for my interview tomorrow! i have a pretty high confidence that i'll do well tomorrow, mainly because i know the interviewer so well..hehe.. i'm goin to dress so smartly tomorrow that he'll probably be very impressed when he sees me tomorrow at the interview.

sigh..the clock is ticking..2 clocks actually.. it's 2 months plus till end of the year.. and i know i just need to be really focused to ensure everything goes well for my promotion. i needed to get this done before i become someone's mrs because if i don't, i know it's going to be harder next year.. stress!

2nd clock.. wedding date on the 5th dec 2009.. it's 1 yr & 2 months away! have to go search for my wedding notebook & start to fill it up with some plans =P

I'm a Lightning!

You Are Lightning

Beautiful yet dangerous People will stop and watch you when you appear Even though you're capable of random violence You are best known for: your power Your dominant state: performing

What Type of Weather Are You?

This is so cool.. coz it's so right! Lightning is one of my all-time favourite occurence in this world.. somehow, i'm so facinated by this bright few-seconds flash that it excites me when it's happening.. i know that lightnings are dangerous and have killed many people that stood on their way to the earth.. i guess it's both beautiful and dangerous that intrigued me..

i have heaps of lightnings pictures in my comp.. used to put a pic.. similar to the one above (purple coloured sky) as my msn pic.. & my msn nick even has a lightning symbol.. haha..

i guess you're what you attract or what you like most.. perhaps, deep down in me, i wished that i could be a lightning.. but don't get it wrong.. i may be beautiful, but i'm certainly not dangerous!!

Am I Ready For Marriage???

hmm.. i was right about me being just excited-for-a-short-while in this blogging thingie.. the last time i wrote was in july.. boy, that was about 2 months?! lolz, should have known that i won't last long in this..

been meeting up with a couple of old high school friends & most of them are settling down.. sounds pretty exciting at 1st but at the same time, scary.. coz we're entering into another phase of life & i'm not sure if i'm ready for it. it seemed like we only left school yesterday..

i have been in this relationship for about 8 years now.. yes, 8 whole years!! since i was 15.. so yeah, u can guess my age now.. quite hard to believe for most ppl.. & it's my very 1st relationship.. never thought that i would actually stick to one guy for so long. started with this 'trying-out' thingie.. but time flies.. & 8 years has passed.. & i'm still with the same guy..

well, i'm not complaining or anything.. but i guess i have a great thing goin & i shouldn't try to destroy something so beautiful.. but i wanted something more.. i wanted to do something to prove that he's the ONE. my friends who heard me complaining about this simply think that i'm just being silly or difficult. they think he's an angel & perhaps one of the best guys around.. & why am i still complaining?

maybe it's because i have never dated any other guys.. therefore, i have never experienced any bad relationships.. maybe i should be thankful that i never have to go through heart-aches.. but why am i still not satisfied?

humans are simply quite impossible.. they're never satisfied/contented with anything.. & i'm such a perfect example for that..

sometimes, i just wished that he would just ask me to marry him.. & i have been hinting this for a couple of times.. it's because i just want to agree & decide and not think about this anymore. i just want to be tied in this 'agreement' & just put away the urge to find reasons that he's the one because i've committed.. sounds like most guys are afraid to be in this situation but for my case, i'm the 'guy'. i'm afraid that if we don't go to a higher level in our relationship, i might just break our relationship- maybe on our 10th year.. come on, is there anyone out there who dated for more than 10 years & haven't got engaged!??

i have this temptations to just go out & have flings.. just to meet some wrong guys & tell myself that i have the 'right' guy all these while by my side.. but i know that if i do this, i'm risking of losing him.. that's why until now, in our 8th year, i still don't have the courage to do this.. because i can't bear to lose him..

i think i'm crazy.. most of my gal-friends said the same thing.. what other evidence that i need to know that he's the one for me & i'm the one for him?? maybe i'll never know until i'm 60 years old.. with wrinkles & white hair.

arrgghh.. this is so frustrating.. i love this guy so much.. but yet, do i really love him that much to spend the rest of my life with him???

Am i ready for marriage? if he really pops the Question??

oh well, i'll probably say yes.. i guess the 8 years have shown that he's 'quite' the one for me..

but i'm such a fickle person..

i'd say that i'll need more time to think about it..just for the fun of it to make him nervous =P

Sleeping Beauty Queen.. NOT!

It's almost 3am now.. & i'm still awake..
sleeping used to be my favourite thing.. i loved sleeping.. & can never get enough of it.. even my ex-housemates & neighbours called me the Sleeping Beauty/Queen.. but i guess i don't live up to my that title anymore. Instead, i'm the DEPRIVED Sleeping Beauty Queen.. might as well be both.. a beautiful queen instead of just either Beauty or Queen..

Since i've started work after my studies in Sept 2005, i've became a workaholic.. sleep no longer my priority.. it has became almost my very last priority. most of the time, i would only go to bed when i can no longer stay awake.

i loved my job.. which involves meeting lotsa ppl & i would just fit my whole day with appointments.. until i have no time for my dearest DL. then, i would feel so guilty for not spending time with DL & thus, would meet up with DL at late nites.. hang out with him until wee hours.. & started feeling 'depressed' for not having time for myself or with DL.. which DL would then tell me that I'm just too stressed out with my work. but when the next morning comes, i would get back to the start of the circle again.. goin on with my work until late.. for i believe that if i work really hard now & be really successful with my business, i would have more time & wealth in my older years to come.

"A+B+C= Success, where A = Work hard, B = play hard & C = Keeping your mouth shut" by Albert Einstein.

This is one my favourite quotes by Albert Einstein. I like to believe that i'm doin A & B quite well.. not too sure about the C..
work really hard during the day.. & sometimes at nites.. & i play really hard as well.. there's always something happening after my work, which brings to the lack of time for myself..

i guess my real problem is time-management.. & priority setting..

alrite then, since i know what's my problem now.. & found the solutions.. which are to set my priorities, have to admit that i'm not a super-gal, hence i can't do everything at once.

cool, i guess i can call it a day & go to bed now.. gonna have an early start for saturday tmr.

shall do the time-management & priorities thingie tomorrow.. i'm also a procastinator.. sigh.. maybe i wouldn't do those tmr..

Cool.. just me blog!

Cool.. just started my very 1st blog moments ago.. such a spontaneous decision.. never thought of starting one before.. wondering how long am i gonna stick to this? started a diary last year.. went out all the way to Chadstone to buy a lovely diary..stuck a ribbon as the marker.. but only written less than 10 posts in it.. & now, it's left in the shelf collecting dust.

always thought that by keeping notes of my daily life.. ie a diary.. i'll eventually learn in my older years to appreaciate what i've done over the years..

*i'm having such a hard time writing.. can't believe it.. even on my very 1st blog! my mom has been coming into my room so often.. at such odd hours (1am in the morning!!!) & trying to strike a conversation with me.. trying to snoop around with what i'm doin.. this is so annoying!!! anyway, i've just managed to shoo-ed her out of my room.. shall continue now in peace *

so, yeah, perhaps i'll appreciate in the future that i've kept note on what happened in my life.. but at the same time, i can't help it but feeling that it's kindda waste of time.. & what happened to the notion, the past shall be the past? no point goin back to the past..

anyway, i've started one now.. maybe i'll actually get addicted to 'blogging'.. a behaviour that i find it's kindda hard to understand.. maybe it's because i never did actually try it.. well, here i am..

glad that tomorrow is friday.. & yay, i can sleep in late!! but i really want to work out in the morning.. really need to bring my cholesterol level down & lose some weight.. i shall see what's my feeling or motivation when i wake up tmr..
