yeah.. so it seems..

2012 is fast approaching. Haihhh I soon will be in the 3 series. Unfortunately, unlike BMW 3-series, it means bad news :P

Hihi even though I’m on this depressing topic, I’m not feeling all that depressed. Maybe the magic of being in the “3-series league”. It means “yeah, so what?” hehe I guess you can say being wiser. Or maybe just a simple i-don’t-give-a-damn attitude.

When I was approaching 20, and in early 20s, I was anxious. Of what would be lying ahead. Of what kind of future awaiting me. Then while living it, it totally passed me by. Before I knew it, I’m approaching the end of it. I am about to begin a new phase of life. Even though the current phase hasn’t changed much.

To sum up my life up till now, I haven’t accomplished much. I’m still a normal office worker, a salary-woman. I can provide quite well for myself and a bit for my family. I can go places for vacation (though for this purpose I am still not in the comfortable zone to go wherever and whenever I want). But because of my twisted priority and my ever-lacking discipline, I am still unable to buy myself a house. And I don’t have a good saving. And I don’t have a husband who I can claim back the money I spent on make-ups, shoes, dresses and such.. :P ahahahaha

Huh? All I’ve been writing about is MONEY?? ♬♬ It’s all about the money, money, MONEY~~ ♫♫

Haha yeah, so it seems.. my main target this coming new year is to save as much money as I can. Err.. how about finding a husband and going for vacations you ask? Tsk.. tsk... Hahaha of course these two are also listed in the target list, silly! Duhh.. LOL

As ever, my wants are never-ending, you see.. As a human being, this is NORMAL right? I want to live a comfortable life, I want to buy nice things, I want to go places, I want a nice husband and build a nice family. There are so many things that I want. But do I get to have all these? Of course not.. I am just being ambitious, that’s all. It’s not like I’m being greedy. I am truly blessed that I had been given so much. Alhamdulillah, ya Allah.. Syukur atas segala Rahmat dan nikmat yang Kau limpahkan padaku, ya Allah..

My years had been great.

But if I work harder, I can do better!!

So what do I want to achieve this incoming new year?

1. Save up money as stated in the newly re-constructed “Kira-kira 2012”

2. Get married (err like I said in previous years’ entries.. don’t u need to find the candidate first?? :P)

3. Lose weight (just for the sake of tradition LOL)

4. Vacations: bought air tickets to Tawau – will be going to Mabul island next year, insya Allah.. And also a plan to Beijing (will be depending on my friend’s availability. Not many people interested to travel to Beijing)

5. If (current_month > 9 && get_married == false) action = buy a house;

6. Hm….

Can’t think of other resolutions.. I still have about 3 weeks before the year end, so I’ll update this entry if I can think of anything else. Haha not that many things to be accomplished right? But, if you weight each resolution, hmm all points are really heavy and required great deals of effort and discipline. Yoshhh… gambaruze!!!!

Selamat hari Rabu!!

Hari ni aku tak banyak keje. Maka, pelagi, pastilah aku menggunakan masa emas ini dengan surfing internet~ hohoho

Aku da berangan-angan nak menjejakkan kaki ke Beijing sejak aku da habis baca novel “Empress Orchid” dan sequelnya “The Last Empress” yang ditulis oleh Anchee Min. Aku sangat teruja rasa nak tengok The Forbidden City dengan mata kepala sendiri. Pastu lagi, baru-baru ni aku ada repeat tengok movie Jackie Chan, the Karate Kid, ada scene kat Forbidden City dan the Great Wall. Ahhh nak tengok, nak tengok!!!

Aku amat teringin nak tengok dua-dua tempat tu!!

Maka sejak 3 4 minggu lepas aku da start search around pasal trip ke Beijing. Dan da dapat dua orang member yang juga teruja nak g China. Yang sorang ni da confirm nak join, dia amat berminat nak tengok Terracota Army. Sorang lagi hanya boleh confirm kalau date bersesuaian.

Note: do you know, Wikipedia is co-founded by Jimmy Wales.

Err why suddenly I note something like that you asked? Hahah well, remember when Steve Jobs passed away on October 2011? Even though I’m an Apple user, I don’t even recognize the name. haihh I was (jokingly) bashed by my officemates :P

Haha sebenarnya, aku tengah baca-baca pasal Beijing ni, found out Great Wall bukan lah 1 tembok besar yang panjang. Dia ada banyak2 section.. then aku tengok maklumat pasal Jiayuguan Great Wall, aku come across Silk Road. So pastilah aku wiki untuk tau pasal Silk Road ni.

Quoted dari Wikipedia: “The Silk Road or Silk Route refers to a network of interlinking trade routes across the Afro-Eurasian landmass that connected East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean and European world, as well as parts of North and East Africa. The land routes were supplemented by sea routes which extended from the Red Sea to East Africa, India, China, and Southeast Asia. China traded silk, spices, teas, and porcelain; while India traded ivory, textiles, precious stones, and pepper; and the Roman Empire exported gold, silver, fine glassware, wine, carpets, and jewels.”

Dan bla.. bla.. bla.. Malas lak nak baca fakta-fakta sejarah ni. Google lagi, aku hanya focus baca info within Beijing trip jek. Wahh memang menarik la Silk Road ni. Destinasi yang boleh pergi kalau ikut laluan ni selain Jiayuguan Great Wall ialah Terracota Warriors Muzeum, yang memang da set nak pergi. Yahoo~~ nanti ada masa lapang lagi nak search dengan lebih lanjut pasal ni. Nak kena g solat Asar then boleh cabut balik. Bestnya kalau hari-hari lapang macam ni :P

Uwahh... can you believe it? Two entries in one day!! (though it's already a new day :P)

Wyeee~~ just finished watching anime oofuri season 2 (Summer tournament). It was actually aired on 2010!! But I only found out this morning.. wuuu~~

Huh at the age of 2*, (of course the exact number is a secret) i actually realized how true the quote "laughter is the best medicine" is.

I'm fasting today, and began my morning in foul mood, as i had some bickering with my sister at home.

The bickering continued in the office ( through email). And i went to shop for a bit, alone. So i din get engaged in friendly conversation all day - all my teammates are busy(except for me), no time for chat-time. Well at lunchtime i always chat with my lunch-mate(s). Or if i wasn't lunching out with anyone, i'll have my lunch at my workstation while reading manga. Of course, i will laugh quite a bit (sometimes too much)

But today, my head was feeling heavy and started to ache. I tot it's because i'm fasting. But then, when i read a funny fb status from a friend, and laughed aloud, my headache magically lifted off!! Isn't it a wonder??

So there u go, laugh, and your day will be brighter ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Wuuu T^T

I can't sleep and just barely managed to stop crying..

Just finished reading this book, written by Ali Shaw. Huhu this book is truly magical. Uhh i still can't get over the sad ending.

The story evolved around Ida who was slowly turning into glass. When she was trying to look for a cure, she met Midas and they fell in love.

The ending was so painfully abrupt that i was left hanging with tears falling heavily until the last fullstop. Until the acknowledgement page. Until i shut close the book.

I knew i will get into trouble sleeping. As i keep remembering the last scene. Even while typing this entry my tears are not stopping.

Uh definitely will get puffy eyes tomorrow~

It's already this late and i must get to the office early tomorrow. Must try to get to sleep now. G'nite.

well, not literally ;)

I've finished reading The Last Empress by Anchee Min. this book is sequel to Empress Orchid. I read Empress Orchid a few years back, and I didn't know then that there is a sequel. By the time I know, it's either the book wasn't in store or I'm kind of short of cash to buy it. :P To cut the story short, I finally bought the book last Monday and spend my whole weekend reading it. (actually i'm in the middle of reading The Girl with Glass Feet, and it's getting to interesting part. but i had to put it down to give way to the last empress!!)
