7th day of 2012

/i’m actually waiting for the pathetically experimented nails to be dried enough to put on another coat of polish.

/i hope the wind from typing will speed up the dry up process

first of all, hello you there. there or not there. before i realised,know,think about it, we are already into the 7th day of the new year. let me play some music, as i try to draft some haps during the last few days.

/oh shit. i missed out the taiwan post. i really needed to do one cos im missing this place so much!

let’s just start from christmas. the entire week of christmas at work was plain boring. maybe busy is an underrated word for work then. i dont know what the hell i was rushing for, but i can only remember each day i had to bloody post-it myself the to-dos, and the items for submission etc.

oh yes, i like this year’s christmas. and there are a few attributions to it.

Most important reason of all, i do not have to work on eve and day, and the following boxing day is also a holiday! that explains a long weekend. hurray max.

next, i met up with really loads of people whom i wanted to meet. most, but not all though. my sec school mates, cliques, friends….. shall upload when i aint this lazy. mahjong session checked. and apparently i forced these small grp gatherings to play secret santa:) loves this christmas, packed to the brim. and of cos, i finally made time for the boyf.:)

following week was as busy. work and socially. haha, dates everday after work. and eventually, its the boyf’s bday. had lunch at my fav brunch place piknik, and dinner at pasta inc. we need more fine dinings practices, and of cos, need more money too. talking about that. i still owed him a present! thanks for his understanding cos apparently that also happened to be the busiest day of the week AND im on leave! *faints*

calls after calls, constantly checking emails to make sure things are on track. and more calls after calls. even i was annoyed. thanks babe!

*luckily, all went well*

Alrights. Eve. Work. More work. No sleep. Cos work. explains it all. more in details? 16 hours of work, breaking my work records. how about that? nuff. oh yea, countdown in the resort. luckily i managed to smuggled in to a table with all the staffs( it was empty, and we smuggled in really) and just in time for the au lang syne. at that point in time i really cannot remember what did i do throughout the 2011. i know that it was a bad year for me and my back, and i really prayed hard things would be better in the new year.

/when i was schooling, this song will make me cry. the entire stuffs i had done in that year flooded back into my mind then. now? not really. if it really makes me cry, its because it reminds me of how heartless time is.

eventually i concussed till the new year. met the tj cliques for lunch in my pasir ris town, and mind was filled with backlogged works. crappy. i really needed more sleep then. forget it, skip that.

2nd of Jan. i cant really remember what i did. OH. repaired my back, and shopped and slacked with the boyf. loads of errands to run. i’m tired. on this day, i realised the dependency of mine, on caffaine. oh and the ipad entertained me throughout.

abrupt stop. my train of thoughts broke when i accidentally touched my nails.

okay. now its time for the right hand. till then, see ya:)

loves,

myself.

 

2012.

Hello 2012.
Goodbye 2011.

My memories of 2011 are quite vague. Other than working, it’s still working. The only very significant thing that I remembered is trying to adapt to my back problem.

Another, probably is the huge loads from work.

Alrights, all the bad things aside, 2011 is the year when I made quite a lot of friends from my office.met up with loads of ppl whom I always wanted to, and of cos travel to a bit more places than usual. Traveling is really a therapy that I adore.

In the year of 2012, I’m going to construct a list of resolutions soon enough. haha. Making wishes seemed pretty useless. But I’m still going to wish/pray that my back will recover soon enough.

Alrighty, happy new year everyone!:)

 

disappearance from the blogsphere

many reasons why am i disappearing from the blogsphere

1) daily rantings are on twitter

2) happening photos are on facebook

3) life is really damn mundane now that there’s nothing much to update

4) dont feel like keeping any memories for my daily happenings nowadays. i mean, 5 yrs later and read back how sucky ur job is and everything else? nah.

5) too tired on weekends to blog

6) too sleepy on weekdays to blog

7) indulging in my random shoppings online and i forgot to blog

8) my command of english sucks so it’s not wise to blog

9) finding loads of excuses not to blog

10) *okay, decided to find time to blog those really important thinng*

 

trust

you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

steve jobs

 

dedicated to the greatest innovator in my life time – steve jobs

On 5th October 2011 Wednesday, this great man passed away. I wonder how can i feel so much (relatively) for someone whom i don’t even know, or don’t even know my existence. No doubt, he is really one greatest innovator, revolutionist, in my life time. and he is mr steve jobs.

looking at/ staring at/ depending on my mac and iphone everyday somehow made me feel that i do know this person a little bit afterall. in my opinion, when the whole world thought that Microsoft is going to monopolize the world’s IT, and that a phone should only go smaller and prettier, Steve thought otherwise. till now, i had never regretted the day i chose my mac and brought it home in 2007. the feeling is like choosing a pet that you really fancy and wanted to bring it home to live with. thank god i chose it.

in the same year, i bought my first iphone. it was iphone 3 then. prior to that, there was iphone 2 that was rather fail. i got the iphone 3 cos i thought it would be compatible with my macbook (that feels like looking for a suitable partner for your pet). i think mine was the 1st or 2nd Gen. and at that time, people was like asking, why is ur phone so big? it’s ugly! it’s not user friendly! it’s touch screen yucks! it’s fat! okay, look at urself today, are you also taking an iphone now?

thanks Jobs for ur dying spirit that made the macbook/iphone better and more amazing. you brought what was thought to be ideals into this world, definitely changing the lives of many others.

thank you because all these gadgets indirectly/directly made me who i am today (errm im not any big shot though, hahha) and the apple, together with your, spirit lives in our lives.

rest in peace, the great man.

PS: this is one of the best article on steve jobs so far. http://techland.time.com/2011/10/05/ap-reports-apple-says-steve-jobs-has-died/

Inspired by a friend, I would like to write a letter to the mighty one up there.

Dear god/gods,

Hi how have you been? Throughout my 23 years of my life you have appeared in a form or another, in different religions, trying to speak to us mortals through stories be it myths or legends. Thanks for taking care of me n my family n my friends, bestowing all the awesome people that existed/existing/will exist in my life.

I didn’t want to ask for more. But I wish you will grant me the wishes below on my birthday for this coming year and more.

1) may my back be fine. Free of pain n numbness. So that I can run and jump and venture more things. I promise to be good to my back and take loads of care of it.

2) health is the most important thing in life. Wish my family n friends the best of health.

3) excel in studies for my brother sister n the bf.

4) happiness in My friends n family. Daddy business to prosper n earn big bucks.

5) if possible, I want a bit of wealth to travel:)

Thank you very much and hope to hear from you very soon.

With loads of love,
Shimin.

 

september is love!

this is one of my favouritest (if such word ever exists, or it shows how much i would like to emphasize on this word) month of the year. September is an autumn month, typically be it anywhere else in the word the weather is almost perfect in this month. apart from that, a little morbid it seemed like it is the month of disasters. be it man made, or natural. 911, earthquakes… and of course it is the birthday month! birthdayS, with a S behind.

i always loved companies of friends. i truly enjoy the fact that i share the same birthday season with some of the closer fews. be it my secondary clique, or my jc clique. there will always be endless meet ups because it is to “celebrate all of their birthdays together”.

they say birthday is only another day that made people remind them of your existence. how apt. but still, there are some relationships/friendships that were mend on this day. a thought a concern a greeting.

so on this very day, happy birthday joychua and yjr. both from the same clique of mine, and we do treasure and cherish our clique friendship alot! have an awesome day, and may lucks stay with us!:)

 

August flies

I thought only July flies, because I took real loads of leaves in July.. However, w a blink, it’s already September. So here am I tryi g to summarize the whole of July into words over here.

It started off with a new promotion, and the first baccarat tournament I had ever seen in my entire life. Emcee-Ed as usual, and I was secretly smiling to myself when my bosses said that our emcee skills are getting better throughout the promotions:) in preparation of the tournament was tough, I got to learn some IT skills, plan the scripts and worrying at the same time if my bosses are happy with the words we used. Learnt alot just throughout the 4 days of tournament. N once again I reali like my team to bits cos we always learn n have fun tgt.
Team, that reminds me. Things changes. We have new team members n they are not adapting well here. If you really want to learn here, show n prove it. We would really be very upset if ure coming here just to escape from the previous title. Despise too. Yap wants us to devise a thing to improve the situation now. Gtta work on it.
Oh. Voted for our president too. Will go in-depth about it soon. Hurhur
Alrights. Sept is gg to be a very scary n fierce Month. Emcee to another level hohoho.
May luck be w me yeah!

 

august.

its 4.20am in the morning.

august has/will be a very busy and taxing month at work with many events running concurrently. sometimes i just need a moral support to alleviate all these problems.

anyway, recently i was thinking about the future, im 23 now, i need to know what i want in the future. what kind of career i want to build and where i will want to be. my back aint good. i hope it will only8 get better and not worse. reading tumblr sometimes made me sad. haha, it reminds me of all the puppyloves and how one girl and one guy can exist in each others life so perfectly. im not saying mine aint perfect, but there is a lack of communication, understanding and reasonability (if this word ever exist).

at work, there seemed to have more problems arising. like internal conflict and such. arghs such asshole problems. i just hope to learn more from this team, and to enjoy my stint there. works getting more physically straining and it is already affecting my daily emotions. i need some regular dosage of comfort food. since you dont buy for me i have to get it myself lo lol.

before i end this post, sharing some awesome photos from jul.

 

july is the season of joy.

i can’t remember when was the last time i wrote a post in the blog. may, i looked back.

it is July now, and during the last 2 months, my life was a status quo. apart from working, it would be sleeping and eating. and of course i do meet up with many more friends last few months over the weekends. throughout may and june, my slipped disc went through quite a lot. the pain was hysterical. it was kinda unbearable. i forgot how a normal back plus lg should feel. exaggerated? not really. i had really controlled my diet real well for the sake of my back. no cold no alcohol. those were the 2 most important stuffs.

went KL; went Kukup. short but enjoyable. photos are on fb but i cant remember if they have limited access hhaa.

let’s talk about how awesome july 2011 will be. on leave on leave and more leaves. visiting Genting in a day’s time, and Hongkong in about 2 weeks time. i cant wait to splurge in HK, but i promise after which i wil abstain for a real long time. btw, i just bought my iphone 4. yes indeed. a good 500 bucks was gone from my bank.

i really got to sit down and think of my financial situation soon. hmm.
