Being Thankful: Day 30

I'm thankful for:

1. Friends and food
2. Sedap mata memandang
3. Writing more than 10 pages
4. Realising fun times are approaching... fast!
5. Busy busy busy is better than an idle mind

Being Thankful: Day 29

I'm thankful for:

1. Getting into the writing mood - minutes time!
2. An unfortunate event but remedial actions has been going smoothly.
3. My iPod nano. Music motivates. Music heals. Music keeps me awake!

Being Thankful: Day 28

I'm thankful for:

1. last minute plans materialising.
2. Sunday parking.
3. having the control to not give in. Let's heal faster and not open up the wound again. :)

Being Thankful: Day 27

I'm thankful for:

1. Not acting rashly, though it would seem the apt thing to do at that time.
2. Reality check. I get it - for the thousandth time. Heart, please listen to your head! This is pure silliness! Be gone, tormentor! XP
3. People that I can trust and rely on. Cherish those who have endured tests and came out still being your friend.

Nexus Temptation

Looks like I've been hit by the tech cycle itch again and this time my craving is for the Google Nexus 5 android phone. There've been many wonderful phones in the market, like the Samsung S4, Note 3, Sony Xperia Z1, HTC One, Apple iPhone 5 etc... but they were either too popular (to the point that it has become generic), too angular, too plasticky, too expensive... and the list goes on.

Again I will admit that I may care more about the design than what's under the hood. However, it wouldn't hurt if the tech specs were great - that would  be another plus point!

Being Thankful: Day 26

I'm thankful for:

1. funny antics that totally crack me up! Some people just have that comedic element in every move they make. I wonder whether I too, have a peculiar quirk which is unmistakably me... maybe not!
2. much laughter on the last day of Lunar New Year.
3. instant messaging via mobile, which enabled me to catch up with a number of close friends tonight who are currently abroad.
4. ACS meeting cancelled thanks to the after effects of a certain quarantine exercise.
5. my leave approved!
6. reconciliation.
7. weird conversations on Valentine's Day.

No dragon dance this year, so the box dragon danced for us with his belly filled with chocolate gold coins!

Being Thankful: Day 25

I'm thankful for:

1. Waking up early and not feeling like I'm lacking sleep.
2. Eating a heavy lunch but able to concentrate on listening to the voice recordings thereafter.
3. Being able to drive the rickety car (which has more power than my little white elephant!).

Being Thankful: Day 24

I'm thankful for:

1. laughs
2. Whatsapp!
3. my car not breaking down on the way home although it was behaving really wrongly.

Being Thankful: Day 23

I'm thankful for:

1. being alive. No matter how advanced we get, we could be here today and gone tomorrow due to some microscopic influenza virus.
2. being able to laugh in the face of an obvious con job. No more nasi paprik from the new clubhouse operator!
3. having the chance to see my colleague in a different light - in a domestic setting. It really changes how one sees the other person.

Being Thankful: Day 22

I'm thankful for:

1. music... just changes everything!
2. face-to-face contact. Makes me wonder why?
3. the little gifts :)
4. sisters in Christ. Strangely they are always timely albeit unbeknownst to them.
5. a reminder to seek God.
