Today in SM History

Today in SM history,

1. I said "yes" to an opportunity. So begins the process of change again and hoping it'll be a smooth transition.
2. Took the LRT to Pasar Seni for lunch with ML. Nearly got knocked down by a motorcycle while crossing the road (It was 'green light' for pedestrian crossing).
3. Had dinner at the newly re-opened Burger King in Shah Alam (after it burned down months ago).

All Nervous and Making a Fool of Myself

Dissatisfaction has been growing lately. None directly impacting me but I can foresee what the future is going to be like, especially come August. And because of this knowledge, I decided to explore other opportunities. With very little related experience, I was doubtful as to whether I would be given a chance to prove myself. But I wanted a change, and the only person who could give me this change was ME.

An Engagement Party

As we grow older, the trends in our circles of friends evolve. And at this point in time, I see in abundance statuses, photos, event invitations, friends' wall messages congratulating them on their recent marriage or engagement whenever I log into Facebook. News of a marriage can become a non-event when you see a new one announced on Facebook every other day. But it really is something else when your close friends start embarking on this part of life's journey.

Hopeless to Hope

Monday had been a difficult day emotionally. Not because of any arguments or massive scolding or dreaded confrontation. Nothing really unpleasant happened. But it was just one of those days where even the weather gets on your nerves. And well, having someone condescending did not help either.

He Knows

God is good. I'm very touched that whenever I'm feeling really down, He sends someone to buzz me - "snap out of it!". And it is always someone who is cheery in nature. He knows. Praise God - in happy and sad times.

My Paranoia Realised

Maybe I'm just IT-illiterate or plain paranoid, but I have always had an insecurity issue about office email accounts - that Big Brother is watching every word you type somewhere out there...

What I Don't Like About My Job

We were listening to the radio on the way home and the topic of discussion was what you like and don't like about your job. Listeners were invited to call in and one particular caller was voicing what she didn't like about her job as an assistant company secretary - the misconception of the job scope. And I was like "Amen!"

10th Sewing Project: ZigZag Bag

Quite some time back I'd bought a whole bunch of textile from Fabric.com. Honestly, I have only used the jersey material of the whole lot. So after many months of mental planning and procrastination, I finally had the will and time to start off on a new project.

Where Does Your Loyalty Lie?

Again I have been mulling on a question.

Many Malaysians work in the public service. So as civil servants (or Government servants, for want of a better term), where should they place their loyalty in? The ruling Government? Or the party that promises a better future for the country?

Indescribably Inspirational

I'm no fashionista and more often would probably be classified as a fashion faux pas. But this recent interest in sewing has turned me into a picture-saving maniac of dresses I see online. Half the time I don't even know who the designer is. And the other half, I'm actually saving photos of replica dresses of the real stuffs! However, lately I've discovered that my OCD streak has a constant... Karen Millen dresses!
