Being Thankful: Day 21

I'm thankful for:

1. Siesta! That satisfaction when you are able to catch some winks after a heavy meal (or rather forced into slumber mode)
2. Trip planning underway. Another accommodation booked!
3. Chocolate pie manja-ing!
4. A 1.0 for my pset 0! I just found this out - totally forgot to check back after submitting.
5. The humour in finding out that the jello I bought, mixed and put on my face had sugar in it when I accidentally liked it! Exfoliation fail. So much for reading the labels!

Being Thankful: Day 20

I'm thankful for:

1. Finding the Lego Movie fun!
2. Fellowship with friends.
3. Exploring Klang Valley alone.
4. Patience on the road filled with tailing fiends!

Being Thankful: Day 19

I'm thankful for:

1. A smooth day at work.
2. Getting into the summarising mode - too bad 6pm came too fast!
3. Signs that pull me back to earth. Better this way - a way out.
4. Maximising time.

Being Thankful: Day 18

I'm thankful for:

1. The little break in routine I had today. It's funny how simple irregularities can refresh me!
2. The random impulsive hop-on-the-bandwagon thing we did today - we have an investment guru now, unbeknownst to him! haha
3. My understanding of Cantonese may have improved slightly! ;)
4. Being distracted from my temptation - aim higher and longer term, sm! Technology always gets better with time.
5. I bought a cheongsam! And after CNY! hahaha preparation for next year then!

Being Thankful: Day 17

I'm thankful for:

1. My freedom. Just watched 12 Years A Slave and it was sad (in a 'how can a human do this to another human' way). Slavery is evil and happens when people start thinking they are god.
2. Yummy char siew!

Being Thankful: Day 16

I'm thankful for:

1. A good laugh with colleagues.
2. Able to leave office on the dot.
3. Salted egg anything!
4. Good fellowship with friends.

Being Thankful: Day 15

I'm thankful for:

1. Super wonderful traffic in the morning that omg I reached office in 12 minutes and parked under the helipad (in the shade!) and took my time to walk to office yet I was still early but I'd forgotten to bring my pass card and so snuck past the guards without a name tag and reached my office level before 9am and managed to catch my colleague while she was passing by the glass door so I didn't need to phone her from outside to open the door for me and when I got to my room I still had some time to edit my yee sang photo (from yesterday) on Line camera and post it to Facebook, completing my annual yee sang adventure! Phew, that was a mouthful.
2. An easy going day.
3. Bursa is closed for Federal Day! Yay, I'm absolved from announcements.
4. Literally no emails, except for one CFO replying my courtesy reply that I can expect the rest of the feedback this week. Why he no celebrate CNY!?!
5. Good food - always blessed to be treated to sumptuous meals. Yee sang, Buddha jump over the wall, suckling pig etc.
6. My gold shoes! So pretty! Need to find more occasions to wear them.

Impressed with Ikea!

Preparing for the wedding had taken a physical and emotional toll on everyone. Some chose to be minimally responsive while others endeavoured to direct people on how to make things work (but don't do much to contribute) and there were the workers (cut the shit and just do it).

With the recent termite attack, we needed to get a new wardrobe for L. So after looking through the Ikea catalogue, L agreed on one of the suggestions. About a week before the big day, mum and I went to Ikea after work to buy the chosen wardrobe. Little did we know that the Brusali wardrobe came in 4 boxes which were so heavy and long (n.b. this was our first time buying furniture from Ikea).

Being Thankful: Day 14

I'm thankful for:

1. Fellowship with friends.
2. Meeting two babies!
3. Discovering the yumminess of ramen.
4. Late night ice cream with mom.

Being Thankful: Day 13

I'm thankful for:

1. Safe journey, although there were many psychotic drivers on Karak today.
2. The adventure of driving in pitch dark narrow winding road through the jungle.
3. Fellowship with family.
4. The cool weather in the hills.
5. Enjoying blessings from others.
6. The adventure of driving without GPS and following signboards, missing turn-offs and entering a few different highways to finally reach our destination.
