be careful of what you speak!

I actually got this of a new TV series I’ve started watching and the men in it are just awesome! Don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but it’s called Lipstick jungle. This is one show I’m watching to actually see how the ladies are dressing and not for the story line! I’ve never done this before!

But in one scene one girl says something to another and it breaks their friendship. Basically, you really have to think what you’re going to say, plan what your intents are before you speak them.

I’ve actually personally said soo many things without thinking and obviously gotten into a LOT of trouble for saying those things. In every aspect, you name it, I’ve done it

At work, with my friends and family. To think i would actually learn!

But I must add, I have recently started thinking before talking. I seem to be a bit of a late bloomer don’t I?

Sighhh

But anyways, to anybody who’s even reading this… just be careful before you say anything, or you might be left feeling terrible after.

Good Luck!

Oh and tomorrow, the YCM series will be held at Nikko hotel at 8 pm, the CEO CIMB Islamic Bank will be sharing his insights. Will be there, and hope you will too!

Cheers

grandma day!

Today, I got to spend some time with my grandma, we went to India in May together, and I must say we’ve become closer to each other better late than never right?

At the same time, there were so many things going on with my friends. (I’ve cheated, I’ve been in contact with a lot of my friends)

My apologies.

Many were upset.  There seems to be sadness around me and it really pains me that I don’t know what to do to rid this wave of sadness.

My Friend told me today that she was upset that people around her were having the time of their lives while she was stuck here. I didn’t quite figure/nor ask what she meant by here. But I’m pretty sure that Malaysia ain’t bad to live in.

At the same time, to any of you who read this, please know that you shouldn’t be comparing yourself to anybody. Cos nobody is like you. And u’re still the best.

My motto: F**k the World, I’m awesome.

Today, I have also closed one chapter in my life. I have mixed feeling about it. Can’t quite decide, but I’m content and at peace. So that’s good…. I think…?

Anyways, I should and will be moving on to my next chapter, and I hope I’ll write it well!

Can’t wait really!

Tip of the day: If you boil food with Tumeric, it kills germs and removes toxins! Did you know that Tapioca produce toxins in them?!? So it helps to boil it in Tumeric laced water. And marinating your meat (I’m vegetarian!) with tumeric also helps to rid germs and the bad odour that meat has.

Golp

Whissssshhhh

That’s the sound i wait to hear every time I hit the Golf ball with my Golf Club. There’s one particular sound that sends me over the moon! But alas, it’s hard to come by.

I probably get that sound once in 4 shots. Sighhhhhhh

Oh, btw, when that sound comes, my ball gets hit damn farrrr! And I get so proud of my self, the next shot sucks!

I need to practice practice practice!

Today, I went for golf again, I stopped for about a month, cos I had pulled a muscle. In a very strange place that I shan’t describe here…

So now that I’m assuming the muscle has healed, I’ve started again, it sucks that the pain’s coming back again. Grrrr

So I have to take it slow. It’s really frustrating.

On a brighter note, I dropped my sister in her friend’s house, they’re heading to Singapore!!!

I get my own bed tonight!!!!!! It’s been too long since I slept alone.

So off I go now, for a little pre-noon nap, then to the office to do some work!

Cheers,

hope you have a productive day ahead!

it’s complicated

I’m sure you know what I’m gonna talk about; relationships.

Be it Boy n Girl

Girl n Girl

or Boy n Boy,

there’s nothing more complicated to having, having had or never had a relationship.

My friend was telling me about how she’d get drunk and drunk text, and I must say, I am not far behind her.

Ok, so I’m straight, so I’m gonna talk about a Boy n Girl relationship cos I’m not that well versed in homo sexual relationships, but I do no that they waaaay more complicated!

So why do women feel the need to go back to a man who probably doesn’t care about her? and even if he does, why do women feel like ” no I don’t think he cares enough” and come on girls, I no this goes on in your heads.

Then i came across another couple, where the guy thought the girl didn’t deserve him, seriously?!?

I think humans are in denial, cos in actual fact, they all just loooovvvveeee DRAMA.

I can’t see any other reason why else there would be this whole issue of complicated relationships.

My last relationship was/is very complicated. And i think maybe I just haven’t met the right guy. (or girl)

but I’m gonna channel a lot of my energy in not drunk calling/texting whatever, and what ever is meant to happen will happen…

Why do people have the need to be in relationships? that still bewilders me. I came across another friend who was stressed out by the fact that she was not in a relationship at her tender age of 23…

Aiyoyoyoyo, no need laaaaaa

Lets save the world instead!

Which leads me to another story!

Yesterday I found out that my effective business writing skills teacher lived in an orang asli settlement. You can read her blog called ecowarriorz with a z!

Mary has my admiration, and if only there were more people like her, and steve (steve mc coy is a gentleman who organises green drinks on a monthly basis, tell you more about it later)

I shan’t ramble on about environmental issues… as yet. I’ll save it for a better day! Okie I should start getting ready for work!

PS: I WENT TO REGGAE BAR ALONE!! ok I went there with a friend, and then had a couple of beers my self after she left!! woo hoo!! and it wasn’t hard!!

my whinny sister

The Citroen pulls up in the driveway, I hear the doors slam, and someone’s entered our house.

I hear the ‘thuds’ of the person walking nearer and nearer to my room getting louder and louder. And BAM! I hear a whinny voice going

“why can’t I have everything I wanttttttt?”

“Why isn’t there goooood foooood?”

“Thambiboy (my lil brother) won’t buy food for meeee”

“Why can’t Chilli’s mesqi salad (if that’s how you spell it) be cheaperrrrr?”

“Why doesn’t Chilli’s do deliveryyyyy?”

“I’m soooo hunggryyyyyyyyy”

owh imma gonna be whacked for putting this up Muahahahaha

—————————————–**——————————————-

This is my sister on an average day, how do I deal with it?Hahaha, I nod, pretending like I’m listening, and understand the dilemma she’s in right now. Isn’t that what all sisters do? By the way, I’m younger… * Head held up in the air*

As much as she whines, I do look at my sister for a lot of advice,  in terms of work, what to do? how to behave in public etc. (yes, I’ve seem to lack all these things… apparently I should be sent to a girls finishing school Pshhht)

So, what striked this brief yet LOUD moment of whining, by the way, she’s just left my room to go watch T.V downstairs, and my room is as silent as a chickens brain could be.

Anyways, back to what sparked this whining??

I was reading The Star, and I came across an article, where in a Malaysian who was listed on the Forbes list bought an apartment in Binjai near KLCC for a whopping RM 38 Million!!!

On one hand I’m thinking I shouldn’t have told her (to save my ears) but on the other hand,

WTHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Apparently the 360 degree view of KLCC struck him as he stepped into the house =.=

It’s amazing how some people get soooo rich!

And sometimes you can’t help but be suspicious about how ONE person can get THAT rich. I guess having good friends in all the right *ahem* places plays a really important role.

At the same time, if I had that kind of money, I would much rather send children who have been abandoned to school, provide them with a decent place to live in. Care for them. I don’t think I could ever spend that much money on my self!

Well, now that my sister’s downstairs, I now have time to think about how I is gonna make myself that 38 million bucks, for you, them and me as well.. hehehe

PS: I cheated on my “of the grid” thing, I told my friend I missed them. I communicated with them. I sent a text message. Grrr I am soo weak! I don’t intend on being of the grid for long though. If I did, I’d be terribly bored.

PPS: I also made new friends! Which was cool! and they were non-school. Although the setting in which we had interacted was a class room setting. So it’s not the same. I’m still trying to meet a friend on the street (or anywhere). It’s not weird okay! It’s just me trying a different way of making friends. Friends who you could impact (for the better) and vice versa. I can do this. Just need timeeeee.!

Cheers!

Pinkdot!

Oh! I was on my way to Reggae bar, but my dad sabotaged my plan and wanted to pick me up! Grrrrr Maybe he secretly knew. I will get this over with! Even if I have to change my name! (hahahahahaha Tamil Drama style)

Plans plans plans

I need to plan, I need to plan what I’m going to do this with all this extra time.

Need to plan fast! But before that I’m gonna sleep and get rid of this damned cough!

Things to do:

1. Study

2. Do more research on my presentation

3. Sleep? hehe

What’s inspired me to plan? Well i came across an article in TheStar where Datuk Sri Edmund Santhara makes his decisions like in a game of Chess. Yes! Chess! Weird huh?

According to him, he says, no pieces are moved for the sake of it and each step has to be meticulously planned and supported. Basically, think before acting. It’s funny how life’s lessons can be learnt from something as simple as chess! Who am I kidding! I run away when I see people playing chess! hahaha

Night people, to those who might (or not) stumble into this blog!

So much time

Not being in contact with anybody is having its ups right now. Today I realised how so much of time goes to sending a friend an e-mail, or a text or answering the phone.

Prior to this, at my job, I must admit that I spent a lot of time finding out how my friends were (via e-mail) talking to them, basically chatting. Well this is because I hadn’t much to do.

Now that I’ve stopped my self from replying texts and answering phone calls from my peers, I’ve found my self thinking of what I can do for my company. I think I was so caught up in my friends lives, being a busy body, finding out what they’re up to instead of focusing on my self.

For instance, on a normal day I would spend some amount of time (not gonna disclose just in case ppl from work are reading this!) writing an email to my e- friend Padmini, or type a letter to my friend in the US.

Today, instead,  I spent writing out papers for my bosses, and making a presentation. I must add that I am 8 months late in realising what should be done to climb the corporate ladder, or at least in being efficient. Sighhh, I have much to do to catch up for this lost time. It is so important to not waste this time and ensure that every bit of it is used productively. This by the way could also mean talking to a friend, by talking we  build relationships, and by talking I do NOT mean gossiping!

Today, I also went for the Young Corporate Malaysians (YCM) series 25; a talk by Dato’ Yusli, the CEO of Bursa Malaysia. It was definitely enlightening to know how he gets his work done. I didn’t however get to talk with the other attendees after the session, I had left early due to a terrible terrible cough! This is getting frustrating. Grrrrrr

I got a few more calls from a friend, along with text messages, it is getting very difficult to ignore my friends. I am not running away, but I just need to take time of to focus on my self. Maybe this is sign of my weakness, not being able to put my foot down in saying now, or perhaps not being able to juggle more that one thing at a time. Oh well, I hope to sort it out with time.

On a brighter note though! I will not be in my office for the next 2 days! I have training on Business writing skills,hopefully that will help me out on the presentation I’m currently working on. And the lesson learnt from todays talk; sell your idea to the other person without offending them!

I would like to dedicate this post (although it is of no relevance) to my dear friend (Padmini) whose dog (Roxy) will be put to sleep tomorrow as her liver has stopper functioning. May it Rest In Peace.

My not-so-lonely solo journey

2 weekends ago, I watched Knight and Day where the movie ended with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz just driving off on a road trip.

And I told my self how I’d love to do that but it wouldn’t be a reality as I apparently have too many commitments here.

I reckon, if you really want to, anything is possible!

Last weekend, I went out for a quiet dinner with a close friend and we watched Germany kick Brazil out of the world cup. The next day, as I was on my way home, driving at 130 km/h, Shirlene’s music playing on my radio and my hair flying against the cool breeze, I thought to myself, yes I CAN be off the grid, and I can very well do it in my current location!

Here I am now, embarking on a journey, with me, myself and I. I am not completely off the grid, as I live at home with my family and have to go to work, where I’ll be meeting my colleagues. But as a starter, I have told my friends that I will no longer be communicating with them, and will get back to them in due time.

This blog is for me, to record all the things I will be doing over the coming periods, alone.

On the 4^th of July, yesterday, I asked my sister and her friend if they wanted to go to Genting Highlands with me, and they agreed, so the three of us, set out on our bus and headed there, where I was left alone in the theme park.

No, this is not a sad story! Instead, I enjoyed myself thoroughly! This was the first time I was going no the rides alone, with no friends whatsoever,

My first ride, I headed to the ship, and it was indeed fun to experience that feeling of your heart losing all the connections to the various parts of the body. Next I headed out to the rollercoaster, I sat in the front of the train, and for the first time ever I opened my eyes for about 2 seconds along the

ride and it was scary yet exhilarating!

After going on a couple more rides, I headed out to have dinner and meet up with my sister and her friend again.

Going solo has its benefits as well as cons.

I liked the fact that I could go on the rides when there was only seat left, I didn’t have to wait for a friend. I liked being in control of my situation, but I’m not a control freak okay! I had a lot of time to focus on my thoughts, pay close attention to my surroundings, observe how people behaved etc.

The bad part was I couldn’t get pictures of me taken and not having somebody to talk to while waiting in the queue; which really doesn’t matter if you’re a quiet type of person. It also got depressing (temporarily) when everybody around me was with their better half, parent, sibling or friend. But you can get over that, no worries!

I had to take a picture of somethin!

All in all it was a good experience other than the fact that we nearly could not get home :S

Oh, and during this temporary period of not being in touch with any of my friends, I intend to focus on my self, lose weight, get fit, and learn. So I hope you’ll join me while I’m off the grid!

What’s in store next? I’m thinking of going for talks or an art exhibition… or maybe dinner at a fancy restaurant or at a bar!

This is too fun!

PS: If you’re trying this on your own, be sure to have plenty of awesome music cos it’ll keep you good company!

PPS: Of the Grid in my case doesn’t mean me living without any electricity whatsoever… hahahah
