Ramblings.

I don't know why I seem to be blogging more this month. Maybe it's the fact that I've finally scounged up Internet connection at work (Yay go me! - boss, please don't read this) or perhaps that Josh and I have concluded that our very gung-ho vow to take on the NaNoWriMo challenge has completely dissipated so I'm just vomiting out a few thousand words here to make up for it.

Orrrr... I'm just procrastinating because I've got deadlines to deal with. 20th November marks our project presentation to the subsidiary CEO & management team for them to judge if paying the both of us this exorbitant amount for the last two months have been a waste. *dies* Meh.

Either way, it works.

So usually, when I'm blogging at work, three paragraphs down the road and I'll start feel guilty for not doing any work. I had better open up my spreadsheet and start clicking away already.

But, it's at least an hour and a half till lunch hour and I'm already hungry! Why am I like this?

Maybe I should stop thinking about food and start thinking of the weekend ahead instead.

I'm excited, who's with me?


Oookay. That was a rather pointless post. Forgive me.

Sisterhood.

Today I received one of those chain e-mails and apparently it's... Girlfriend and Sister's Week! Now, I didn't know that something like this existed, but well, more power to anything that celebrates those who tick the 'F' box when filling in gender in forms.


I mean, how can you say no to anything that commemorates womankind and sisterhood? :P Right? Right.


(In fact, boyfriends you should also celebrate this week by treating your girlfriends like queens today and EVERYDAY! Habis la all the guys gonna come after me with parang.)




You go through the best years of your life together.

We play netball together and get into catfights on the court together...



You work towards graduation together and then go on holidays after graduation together... :D


We get tipsy and drink graveyards together...




We go through thick and thin and generate way too much noise together...

p/s: See Ching you never come for my birthday that's why no pictures of you. Lol.

So to all my lovely girlfriends, Ching included, whether your picture is up here or not (because that's all I have on my office laptop so forgive me :P), you know I love you. Here's to us and here's to sisterhood.






I am only as strong as the chocolate I eat,
the hair spray I use and
the friends I have.
To the wonderful women that have
touched my life, young or old... Here's to you!

In Dire Need.

Just cause I'm bored and I need a break from work (plus the boyfriend has disappeared from Gtalk chat - my new favourite invention since MSN and whatnot are all blocked), I'm going to just exercise my fingers here for a bit before I make the next phone call.

I'm dying for end of November & the whole of December to come so we get some very much desired public holidays.

Three long weekends in December, yo. Public holidays FTW.
Colleagues and I were saying how much we needed a vacation over lunch which made me think back to Pangkor on Merdeka weekend this year and how blissful it was. Sun, salty seawater, sand in our pants, flip-flopping everywhere (not like I don't already flip-flop everywhere la that is), and sunnies perched on heads. Ahhhh. I want another vacation.
Ah, so picturesque. The guys sans ZH who was busy sleeping.

Sepet & sepet-er! HAHAHAHA. He hates this picture. But I like it so too bad. <3

:D!

Sigh. Back to reality.

Oh My, It's Already November.

Dear poor, abandoned bloggykins,

It's been already two months since our past encounter. Where on earth have the last two months gone? It seems as time goes by (and as we age and grow more white hair) the second-hand on clocks drills faster, round and round.

Even you, are already nearly five years old!

The last time I wrote in you was about the Time-Traveler's Wife trailer, and now the movie's already out. Imagine that.

I wonder when I'll find in me again the love of writing with ease.

Till then,
Your old owner.

So, I'm Holding On.

"I've been waiting for Henry my entire life."

Is it possible to love someone long enough to want to wait for them your entire life? Is it enough to have brief staccato moments of bliss, hastily shoved in between long periods of bleak waiting? To just take whatever you can get, whenever you can and have that be sufficient. Not to have, but to have had.

"It's you."

Adam and I went to watch The Proposal last night (which was hilarious by the way) and this was one of the trailers playing. I've always heard about the book of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger, but never knew there was a movie out. By the end of the trailer, I was teary.


The Time-Traveler's Wife starring Rachel McAdams & Eric Bana. Heartbreaking but still strangely hopeful. Plus, the lyrics of Lifehouse's Broken fits the trailer perfectly.

"You told me that you go back to the same places a lot."

"Yes, like gravity... big events, pull you in."

"I was a big event."

I've always been a sucker for love stories. Romance novels, grand epic tales of star-crossed lovers with happy endings. It's corny, bordering on the edge of stupid, but I love them all just because they give me hope and believe.

"It's kinda magical."

"I don't feel alone anymore."

So to answer that question, is it possible to love someone long enough to want to wait for them your entire life? Call me a hopeless romantic, or a silly girl, but I do believe it's possible. Not realistic or logical in the very least, but who said life made sense all the time? It will tear your heart out, make you fall apart, eat at you slowly inside and it will hurt like hell, but I think that's the power of love.

"I travel through time, I can't control it. It just happens. I wish it didn't."
"What do you wanna talk about? How bad it feels to sit here and wait for you?

"I don't want you to spend your life waiting."




"I wouldn't change any second of our life together."


"I can't stay."

"I know."

A Pit-Stop Update.

So! Quick update. :)

In the past two months, I went for multiple stages of interviews for two jobs, challenged myself in ways I've never before, thought about questions I've never had to think about in the past few years, put myself in the hot seat while having to come off as intellectual and passionate at the same time, worked up the nerve to tender a resignation letter and started a brand new job. Phew, thinking back makes me quiver a little. Heh.

Anyway, the new job. I'm pleased I got the one I was interested in and attracted to since Day 1 and I'm happy with how things have turned out, job and learning-wise. I still wonder on and off if it was the right thing to do and at least I can say, in the sense of opportunity, growth and a starting block, I can safely say it was a good decision so far. Assignments have been good so far and colleagues and management trainee program peers have been so warm to me. It still may be too early to tell, but at least I can be satisfied with what I'm doing at the moment.

It's gonna be three months with the Group Internal Audit, after which it'll be soft skill training and working on projects for any subsidiary, and then the rest of the two year period with Finance.

Haha! I just realised all the above sound so hush-hush, like I'm a Secret Service Agent or something. :P I'm still rather iffy about divulging details about company for fear of the non-existence privacy on the net, but we'll see how that goes. Makes more sense for you to ask me when you see me personally, right? :)


Sooooo, enough of the boring stuff and let me tell you now that I'm blogging from my hotel room in Penang! Been here for a week working on an internal audit project and will be here for another week. AM. SO. STUFFED. WITH. AWESOME. PENANG. FOOD.


Anyway, gotta run now. Colleague is back and we're off to a mall. Talk soon!
