My favourite four letter word, among others :)

2 more weeks before I wake up to this, again.
Heck, I've got no complains. It's simple, I tell myself as the Monday blues are oozing gradually into my veins. Live through 10 days at work and this will be your reward.
My yearly attendance to the mystical island will be ticked off sooner this year.
It's going to be different this time. There's gonna be, fami-losity.

Indira Gandhi said...

..."There are two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there."

It's week 4 of 2010. Here's hoping sometime down the months (fingers crossed in Q1), I will find myself in a new employment.
Bought myself a garnet bracelet and added some charms to it over the weekend for good luck. Popystarz who visited the island for work and play, got charmed as well in the shape of a beautiful star and heart. May there be magic created, although both my charms have no significance on the career front, and more towards somewhere for two.
I feel like this little turquoise bird. Stuck in a cage. Unable to flap its wings and venture out.
I tell myself that the right opportunity will come knocking on my door when the time is due, for there are some things in life that cannot be rushed or masterminded, full scale. It will fall into place if it's meant to be and you have to let it happen naturally. Else, we might have to give something up, that one thing where nothing compares and in actuality end up taking the consolation, when we thought it was the winning prize in the first place. That would be a blow.
Don't know if I make sense on the above but as long as I've done something for change, for betterment, and not just vent in frustration about the situation, it's enough for me, for now.
After all, there is so much one can do in a single day. We need to BREATHE and LIVE life, as well.

Super Monday Blues

"It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart" - Anne Frank
I want to believe, holistically.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
At the end of the day, there was still good left in Darth Vader even after he was lured to the Dark side and he died, redeemed.

Ex-Energizer Bunny Me

Warning: You might find this post delusional.

This morning, in the midst of my commute to work nap, somewhere between the realm of the conscious and subconscious, I wished. I wished that there would be a jam from a certain road and all the way to the office in order for me to gain more shut eye.
I am such a sucker for sleep nowadays. Eventhough I get at least seven hours of sleep everyday, it does not feel enough. Guess it's pay back time for the many days and nights of slumber lost when I was younger and more energetic. Gone were the days where I would be bright awake the entire day with just a few hours of sleep. Once upon a time, there was once a challenge among friends to see if we could go without sleep for 50hours. We managed to and still had bars of battery life remaining.
My mum used to be amazed at my lack of sleep tolerance level. I remember her saying, "You went out all night, slept for two hours and you're watching tv now. Later, you'll be out again. Don't you wanna take a nap first? Dear girl, you will know when you're older." Yup, her words now echo in my mind for I do know now, and I feel age, kicking in. I have exhausted my energizer bunny coupons.
Back to my wish. It came true...! Right on the particular road. And I can confidently say that this road rarely gets congested let alone jammed up. Incredible...
My logical other half tells me it is only a matter of coincidence. Nevertheless, it started the day on a mini happie note and if more wishes come true moving forward, I will decide then if I really have powers *grin*

For with powers come responsibility.

Aurora is my favourite princess.

Sleeping Beauty Castle... in the happiest place on earth.

It's the first day of 2010 and what a fabulous day it has been. Great company. Laughter. Food. Merriment. A new toy. Feathers. -> What more can I ask for? I'm a happy camper :)

As I compose this post in my living hall, I realise I've been having an optimistic vibe about this new year throughout the hours that have passed since bidding 2009 goodbye. The thing is, it has been years since I've felt this way. I tell myself not to question a good feeling for one should not question something good. Therefore, my seat belt is strapped on and I'm ready for the journey that's in store for me. I trust my instincts. It's going to be a year for changes (good changes) and many mini happies.
Happy New Year to you, who visit me virtually. May there be new ways and means to achieve your hopes and dreams.
