250709 friday

it's 12:12 am. angels n laogong r sleeping. oppss.. eva is coughing, she is not feeling well. i am in the middle of this big room, typing in the dark. feeling sleepy, but i felt to record my day.

dawn. received sms from a special someone asking 'how r u?' suddenly gary chao ge' new song - lonely man's lyric came across 'i am not okay~~' 'feel like myself is being destroying' this was my 2nd reply. in this early morning, i got new discovery n i got so many queries answered, n i got so many uncertainties.. after sharing my feeling with laogong. 1st time i found myself feeling so secured in laogong's arm. seriously, i am so tired of everything.. too many challenges for all my roles. many things are out of my plan or imagination. i got confused n down when my ideal model is not happening. anyway, thanks to the sms, at least, i was in someone's mind during the sms exchange 'i know i can go thru all the challenges :)'

so tired and so the blank, how i wish i could take a day off. but i cant. i chair a communication session with end user n vendors, n bosses r so wanted this to be happened. drove to usj warehouse, the office where i worked when i 1st joining this company. so many memories came to my mind. ya, this is also the only office both me n laogong working together :) ohhh no, we worked together at the internet cafe too! wow times fly, most happiest moments that time when we staying together at sunway n ampang. no worries n burden. reached usj late, didnt expect the traffic jam at the highway. joined my friends there we went for breakfast at summit. i ordered for roti telur+ bawang. when i heard ppl ordering thosai, 'ya hor, why i never order thosai? i dont eat roti ma..' but it was too late :~

final touched up to the presentation slides, then we went to shah alam for lunch before the comm session started. everything went well, 1st time met the vendors. n without further thinking, i commited myself to some additional job :p never mind la, kerja saja la. left the office around 5pm. in fact, i was feeling down. when i think of what i heard ppl telling about me 'apa michelle buat? she has nothing to do, everyday sitting there open facebook only'. tell u, i am so shocked n down about this. 1st, oh.. ppl noticed me and care about my performance. 2nd, why facebook? i am much ok if u told me i was always in my blog. coz facebook is not my main hang around site, n i can access facebook 'just a touch' with my iphone. ahhhh... apa saja la.. i do online like no body business during lunch time n after 6pm. during working hours, i wont sit there n online for long except do some fast internet banking transactions or just to take a short break, coz i need to clear my workload. but ppl see me online n dont check when i access internet then i got nothing much to say.

can u get my frustration? been trying hard to be a good mother n teacher to my children, but i got feedback abiut my children not so good attitude n their performance in the school 'need more time'. been wanting to be a good daughter, at least dont need to trouble my parents, but now i 1 family staying in parent house in weekdays just to accommodate my children study n safety. been loving loagong with my ocean deep love, n more feeling sharing, but somehow there is always conflict n misunderstanding. been wanting to make myself smile more, laugh out loud, n feeling happy from my heart, but i found myself look n feel tired n no more sunshine. sooo.. finally i chose my work as the part, where i have more confidence in, as long as i work hard then i would get some nice comment n rewards (spot award was a BIG surprise to me), but ending up, ppl see me spending time n work for facebook. this is the question i been asking 'what else? what's next?'

after left usj, thot to go giant shah alam to fetch sis. traffic jams made me lazy. so i headed back home. it was still early, laogong would leave the office at pm, i have no house key. then i decided to go to saloon to trim my hair, guess it wont be crowded in this friday evening. laogong called me right at the time when i wanted to leave the saloon. he said long time didnt go for a movie.. but both of us bringing laptops, so we met at home. after taking shower, we went back to aeon bukit tinggi for dinner. spent laogong this dinner, sempena my spot award :p i did celebrate this with sis, we went ktv. then i promised to buy toys to bbb when salary out. aiya, forgot about laogong. so we makan together just now n window shopping. we didnt go for movie, coz almost all the sessions were FULL.

reached home, saw bbb, i felt warm. never mind la, how hard the situation is, i still having my lovely bbb to support n cheer me up. so mummy needs to be strong n confident :) for those things that are beyond my control, keep the faith, anyhow, i am just being tested and trained to be better and to have more wisdoms ^_^ for friends who are really concern about me, thanks for your messages, feel blessed to have u :)

good nite lo. want to rest now. been coughing n feeling weak n low i spirit for this week. may all my dreams come true, 1st hopefully it would be the piano set that laogong n i seen at the shop. suitable for young learner like my royee boy! laogong got surprise 'wahh, u also know how to play ar?' yala, every saturday mummy learns do re mi too! :p after piano, wii? laogong's new car? no no no.. i hope i can get promoted with my own hard work, i want to shut off those 'cctv' in the office, kidding la :p i hope i can prove to myself, 'michelle, u r doing it right, u get what u working for' btw, thot to shut down my blog too! coz there are 'cctv' too! laogong said, ppl came here just to know about u n your family, that's it.. let them la.. (am still considering this :~)

rushing wednesday

work for tomorrow then cuti again. Time flies. Am in the train alone without laogong, laogong taken the earlier train, n i missed it. Was rushing to park the car n running to catch the train, when i reached, train just moved n bye to me. I wake up early this morning, to prepare breakfast - sandwiches + banana then pack those biscuits, milk powder n oat to bring to the office. Planned to reach the office early so i can finish my walkathon blog post n all other posts. I got the message from arpu yesterday 'wei darling people in singapore waiting for ur blog update :) I know u r very busy...' In fact, i got message from laogong too 'where is your new update? Bad bad' hehe happy to know that at least there r readers out there to care n got interested in my stories :)

Well, i have been busy with my old n new job scopes. Start feeling the pressure n my bp gone high. So i feel giddy n bloated. Water retention pun ada. Bad la. That day when i was in the mid of tension, the me in the mirror didnt look like me! The face n lips were so pale then very big face n bad hair. Hmm that's why i took laogong's word seriously 'u look old, especially your eyes, i think we need to send our children to nursery childcare center for 2 weeks' ya, i need to rest. But i will adjust myself n manage the time table, i cannot let go my bbb, if not, not only my eyes look old, my heart would be too :p

what is in today todo list? submit the income tax efilling. actually i have completed it early of april for myself n laogong. ya, dont feel to pay the tax that's why i dont want to submit :p i used this to comfort myself, 'u earned enough then only u r eligible to pay income tax lo' be thankful lo, at least i am having a job :) to get more rebate, maybe, i need to work much harder to show good performance, then i can get some awards from the company, then i can have rm2k rebate :p kekeke.. this one memang susah, so buy more books for children n myself lagi senang :p month end, need to pay all the bills, credit cards.. hmmm all need to be done by today. there is also todo list for my office work, wow, today is a super rushing day!!! i dont want to stay back today. n i want to have lunch with my friends in the office! 2 days already, i didnt join them for lunch, i miss them soooo much :~

so everything much QUICK n FAST! tata! mau kerja liao! hehe sound so efficient :p

my talents and skills

yesterday i received the mail with subject "Are You Willing To Share Your Talents/Skills With The Under Privileged " from maxis volunteer brigade. hmmm been holding a year back for not joining any outdoor charity activities, coz last year laogong was working at foreign countries, then i was busy taking care children/householdf n setting up bkt31. n now, i got this mail, am so excited to turn the engine on n start my charity ride :D ya, spiritual satisfaction yo~

the problem is, my talents n skills.. hmmm sounds like i know many many things, some friends always address me as 1-stop info center. however, i am not pro for everything, here a little bit, there some smaller pieces. ai.. anyway, come to charity activities and to help out the needy, i memang tak tau malu one la.. below is my reply :p

in fact, i wanted to choose category like cooking n baking, then apa yang i tau? not pro lo.. making sushi? dont want to make ppl down la.. if i can bake very nice yummy cakes then ok la. so i pass this category. music! - 'Any musical interest by the residents of the Homes that we can provide'. hmm i can sing for children. with my duckling voice tone :p but i know they are looking for talented ppl who can play musical instruments, sing very well, band, choir.. dance! i can do barney dino dancing! hop hop hop, turn left, turn right, then twist! kekeke bbb love this, so i keep this talent at home enough la.. kakaka..

never mind la, they are so many things to learn under the sun. slowly la. in fact, been looking for nice sewing blog, feel to sew simple dresses for angels and some cute pj for bbb. i had bought fabrics from ikea in fact, keeping it since last year :S as of now, am searching info for healthy n fresh food. told my colleagues, i want to bring healthy bento if possible. then from monday the 20th, ppl already asked, mich, where is your healthy bento? :p sick ma, didnt go out n buy vege ma. kekeke.. buat malu je..

as what royee mentioned 'mei guan xi' tidak apa.. take my time lo.. as long as i am happy :D been recalling the happy smiley sweetie michelle recently. i found myself not easy to smile as last time, so many things n worries in my mind. in fact, last year end when i joined the charity work at KL, the volunteer kakak also said 'michelle, kenapa sekarang tak senyum dah? tak macam dulu, happy happy je' hmmm.. can get white hairs in a night :~ ya, i want sunshine! working for it lo~~ learning to put things down when worry doesnt help to change the situation ^_^

hope i can have more n more post for labels - home class, beauty, dreams n goals, travel :D
