Age 30 is a moment of truth when certain realities of life firmly take hold.
Here’s a list of signs that telling me that I'm turning 30. A freakin’ stiff back..
Less partying.
Get emo easily as like just a "clicked".
I woke up with a back ache.
No longer tolerate or have patience with teenagers or cocky dudes in their 20′s.
Usually get up to pee at night instead of sleeping.
Gain weight. I realized this in my age around 28.
Starts saying “younger people” and “back in my day we had…”.
Finally buy a bed frame in my age around 26
Of course I care about my family more.
I actually could sleep 8 hours, and wish everyone would SHUT UP so I could.
At last I understand why Large Print books were made. I enjoy reading novel instead of comics now.
Some great realizations as turning 30 years old should be:
Money is not about health, happiness, fame or peace of mind-life
is. It’s not about getting drunk to be flirtatious or to cut loose, have
fun, get over a bad day, or to say things we couldn‘t have when we were
younger. It is realizing we do not have to ‘be friends’ with people we
don’t like or who are unkind, or who annoy others just because they can.
It’s hanging out with people we just plain like hanging out with. Whether we choose to celebrate or ignore the day it is just a 24
hour period and when it is past business will go on as usual.
Everyone is looking forward, making New Years resolutions and planning for 2012. It is the thing to do. I am too. But, as I’m looking forward, I couldn’t help but pause and take a look back. I wondered; was there anything different, unique for me about 2011. The obvious came to mind. I started this blog.
2011 did have a very unique element to it. I made my decision to changed a new job, hoping the grass will be really greener. In my new job, I made more business partners online than i made offline. My network grew. Started a new relationship after I've been single for a year. Somehow there is still obstacles on and off but this is how we see growth I think.
Moving forward to 2012...
Get Healthy
Getting healthy doesn't just mean losing weight. Perhaps I getting worried on myself. The <500 steps really worries me. Imsomia is another bad habit. I must have go gym regulary and sleep before 1am every night in 2012! No more exhausted activity. Less alcohol consumption; less smoking perhaps?
Get Happier
This is a little more of an abstract resolution that can mean different things to different people. As I always find ways to boost up my self-esteem, spend more time doing things that I love instead of things that making me feel bad about myself.
Be a Better Person
Being a good person I think I should actually throwing some random acts of kindness into my daily routine. As time goes by, am losing my patient. So I will keep telling myself, be patient and passion!
Show more Love to My Family
Spend more time with family! :)
Get Better in work
Bump up my work performance by just a little bit this year!
Its a mirror image of life. The battle of emotions and no matter the obstacles, surprises, hard times, no matter anything... Sometimes love really does conquer all.
Every year we get together with this rowdy group!! FUN FUN FUN. Everyone went to get their own pressiex for the merry exchange session and look very forward to this evening of laughter.
Last year, we held the party in Pearl International Hotel with the dresscode green, red and white. Fun games, hard core drinkers, wines with big laughs. So this year, much surprise for everyone, we have new members, I decided to get them some Christmas accessories instead of specified dresscode.
Masquerade party mask + novelty Christmas hair accessories. As usual we will going to have the gift exchange session with some additional quizs session. I believe tonight will be a great night.
Non stop playing A Thousand Years, Christina Perri. Doubt creeping in and starts wondering..
Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
[Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this
One step closer
[Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer One step closer
[Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
I love this movie! The combination of mixed emotions and I will absolutely give an "A"! A resolution can become a revelation. And when one night can change everything. Never mess with serendipity.
I am so want to see one of my new toy today since morning..
Really upset after i tried to get home from a 'carpark' situation of jam session.. Rushing from work.. Rushing to this stupid ONE UTAMA that no nice japanese restaurant.. Ever thought i could give a try to Robot Sushi, Sakae Sushi or the most UNWANTED Sushi Zanmai.. But guess what!?? I ended up in Dragon I?? How irony it was..
We never say goodbye but we will meet again for sure. The pictures really shows how fun is our friendship. Back to our first trip to Genting 4 years ago. We took hundreds pics in first world resort carpark then came to 2nd trip in Melacca, u will b surprised a boy Jump out from the car in sudden and those gals in car are posing themselves. We are super cam-whoaring. The total pics we had from both trips is thousands. No one can imagine how crazy R5 is i think.
Like what Su's said, time flies..a gazzilion pictures later.. But the math is still right. R5+eternity. In our recent outing, we added a lil fun which is we always like to picture something (imagination actually) we pictured how is a wedding, a wedding menu list, r&r conceive.. All these make a big laugh always.
I know i will be missing u crazy boy! Wherever u go.. We will owiz luv u! Muakss
15 years friendship.. Our 29th birthday! It's gonna be a blast one. Million thanks to Cass doing this special celebration for us!
We laughs and share our tears all these years.. Really meant alot! Luv u girls!
Feeding a new work
is like diligence, Opening this will inherit a new work; I hammer him
with a sizzling effort As he fed on me in the past with love; The rest
offered peace, so much peace, A living system of pleasure and it teases us. Forcing an
expansion of our life, The system is a new enterprise of good
sitting, Full of my love is this plan, this weight of goodness. I
am patient, do not complain, as my frantic work Is complete as can possibly
be.
Manage to clean my wardrobe? not at all, but at least do the laundry. Just realised i had super lot clothes that still pending to settle.The washer machine has been turn on twice only manage to settle my clothes..hahaha
Thought wanted to clean up my room on during this break but am so sorry to myself. I am super lazy to to do.. the mess really caused me headache. lolx.
3pm. manicure time.. RED again. am in love with RED
Thanks for the nice dinner Ivan.
Allo Paris. - nice dining place with nice food also.
Movie of the day - You are the Apple of my Eye
It is a very simple story but it reminds us of something that was once special and important in our life. We laughed through out the movie and our emotion was triggered by a very simple but very hearty story.
My first day off. No special plan for this short break but my schedule seem really full.
As usual i am awake at 9 plus morning. Finished 2 episodes of drama then meet Cass and Wai Meng at Sunway Pyramid.
9 hours shopping is much tired compared to work i believe but we just manage to shops in 5 outlet after all. It's really fun to went shopping at working hours.
We been spending hours in the fitting room and playing so hard with the dooodolls hat.
It is with mixed emotions that I send this email. I just left a bunch of wonderful, colourful, loud, boisterous team members. It is with a heavy heart that I will leave here.
I feel blessed to have to get to know each and every one of these people, share laughter and tears (not mine), and the support and guidance given are honestly, beyond compare. We go through the ups and downs of life together – just like a real family does. That experience is priceless.
But moving on, hoping the grass will be really greener is always on everyone's mind, I guess. So here's me writing this email to bid all of you "Ta Ta For Now" in search of the greener pasture. :P
I would especially like to thank Marnix : Boss, over the 3 years 11 mths, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. Your demands were high and your patience short, but I take great solace knowing that my work was, as stated on my annual review, “mostly satisfactory.”
To those souls with whom I’ve actually interacted, here are my personalized notes of farewell:

IT Team: (Back in 2008, IT is just a small team and we only have 2 IT people > Jacky and Jeffery and now the IT team has been grown up to 20++ staffs. Wow~) Jacky : Thanks for supporting me when I have hard time at work. Good that you finally improve your drinking skill. I will never forget how you drunk with one pint of Kilkenny in Irish bar 3 years ago. Haha.. Khew : Thanks for sharing your IT knowledge with me. Please be more patience when explaining k.

I will never forget how you guys explained to me how to married 4 wife?! Whahaha.. Also something I really don’t know. My apologies for not speaking good Bahasa.
My lunch group of members (you know who you are!) – We seen each other grow through ups and downs. Some of us got our hair shorten, longer, cut, curled and colored ... some of us added new spice in life, removed some qualms ... but what made us special is that we are randomly different individuals who find similarity in our friendship
And finally, to JC: How can I missed out as everyone know you are my best friend within Sam Media. We have so many nick names here..e.g. Chopstick Sista, Ribena Sista? Lolx Our friendship is the most graceful thing I’ve in Sam Media and you were right, I need more time on this email. :p
I will never forget the wonderful experiences and challenges we have shared and gone through.
I wish all of you nothing but the best and I do hope our paths will cross again.
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave and I need to leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
I'm really surprised and touched when i received the first gift yesterday and the second one today.
Thank you Lee, I will not forget what you told me yesterday when you suddenly came over my place. really appreciate it.. i know you always being nice to me when i had request from u.
Thank you Carene, although we just know each other for one month but you are the one that i talked most in this office during working hours. haha.. you are really sweet. thanks for the lovely gift.
Thank you Monica for the lunch. I've learn a lot from you!
Silly boy! i almost tears out while i reading your mail then i recall how fun we was when i look into those pics..and you're right we really grow through together. am so glad that twitter and instagram that keeping us so close so we can have each other update anytime, anywhere!
