Sob sob. my office got broke into and I lost a lot of things

I got a phone call form my boss on Sunday afternoon that our office got robbed and it happened on earth hour evening last Saturday. The first thing that came into my mind was "Oh no, my external harddisk.!". sigh... our family photos, sweet memories, my exes, my achievements and success sob sob. research i have done.


I also lost the 2 company laptops which I left it in the office last Friday, my tiger mouse (I was quite proud of it, orange design was nice too) and sony headset (i like it so much, i finally completed my video production project because of using it). My project files and email histories is gone. I hope some miracle will happen and I can get it back.


I went to the office, my new bf came along too. Ok I know I havent break the news to you guys yet, I also didnt plan to have a bf so early, just somehow this guy manage to convince me last Saturday. Whoever read this blog later will know la, I dont need to explain further. So my dear nieces and nephew we gotta forget about the other 4 guys that was interested in me also yah. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Random things that I want to remember and pray for Melissa

Yesterday was great. had a good breakfast (packed food from home cos didnt hav dinner on Monday), had tuna sandwich for lunch (save money) and came back home early from work and my godmom cooked such nice meal (fresh vegie, sambal udang kering, fried fish and fried boneless chicken fillet). Its a bit too overwhelming and I have a feeling I might have put on weight today after yesterday contributions haha.

So today I started breakfast with sardine bread, mini sausage bun and a mini croissant. I am not suppose to take anything to do with rice or flour, but these seems to be the most convenient food that I can get. Drinks? mostly water now, not making milo or coffee anymore. If I make tea, its ok also since I dont put sugar for tea drink. Must stay strong and have better control over my diet, otherwise all effort will be lost. I forgot my specs again today, yikes. Headache looking at this PC whole day without a specs. Today I must finish a very important documents and follow up on a few other projects.

To Melissa, all the best I know you are in there now, trying your best to bring new life to this world. Pray that both is safe, healthy and everything goes smoothly for you all in JB.

Why Monday Blues? its Happening Monday

Did a lot of work today, so my plan to MIJF did not go through. My brother didnt booked my ticket on time, and the rate increase additional 100++ and no more RM10 per ticket promotion:(. The trip is only for one night, so I think its not worth for me to go. There goes my new things to do this year. Did a lot of work and feeling quite satisfy. Joined my colleagues at the corner shop for lunch. An old friend, my former lady PM replied my email and we back to communicating with each other again. So I guess we both want to forget the past and come back as friends again. After work speed to Mid Valley & met up with my beauty friend. Before I left I manage to bought a nice sparkling golden bronzed egyptian style looking earings as a birthday gift.

Went attend a friend birthday gathering at Fidelle, Plaza TTDI. It was a nice place, my first time there. Apparently it was my girl friends chill out place, they like less crowd and posh environment looking area. It was Celeste's birthday and Im glad she like the earings I bought for her. Q'uann could not make it. If you ever go there, park at the Basement parking where its billable by hour, outside parking is RM 10. I parked in basement last night for more than 2 hours and I just paid RM 1.50.

I am glad I went, met a few business men, Datuks and corporate friends. Had a couple of very light whisky mix with lots of ice water hahaha, nuggets and spicy sausages. Suddenly a tall elderly man pull me out to show some dancing steps, I think its salsa steps, and I was like SHiiiT..! I should have practice my dance steps. Yup I kept looking at my feet and nothing go right. I guess he notice I am nervious, so he shift partner smoothly and dance with another girl haha. Its ok, not my time to show off yet, I will have my limelight one day. So I continue chit chatting with the others, sing birthday song, ate a piece of cake, I check my time its 11pm (gotta work tomorrow la) so I bid goodbye to everyone and ciao off. At least I have 2 new friends to add into my FB though.

When I reach home, I packed all the home cook food into a tupperware and brought to work for breakfast the next day. I could not eat at such late hours, so that was the best thing I could do and the food is not wasted. I had a good breakfast though.

Is Economy Killing Our Fun?

Is Economy Killing Our Fun? Nah I don’t want to think like that, it’s depressing if I believe that. So I’m sitting at home and trying to figure out what can I do to have fun without spending much. I don’t expect some folks to understand why I must have fun, some just think its nonsense, and well the new generation learns what stress management is and why it’s important that we manage it. I actually typed out a lot of anger words here but I deleted it. Sometimes I stop and think a lot before I publish anything here. sigh....

Economy downtime is leading people into depression, mood swing and being impatient. Who wouldn’t? when you don’t have money how do you feel? I just have to learn to stay at home during rainy days. I so wish my godmom can manage her depression, but people say her depression can only be cured with money, now isn’t that sad? Nope I don’t believe that, there must be something that we can do besides money. Economy is down, we can’t control that, but managing the stress at home we can.

What did I tell you, didn’t I warn you? The storm is coming and it has happen today.

So what can we do now to reduce the stress at home and no need to spend money:

  1. Ensure everything in the house look neat and nice.
  2. Don’t allow rooms for argument to start. Be nice to each other, take turns to use the computer.
  3. Think about the past things that will be use to nag at you, try not to allow that.
  4. Sleep early if you have to wake up early.
  5. Teenagers! Don’t go out on weekend, hold a book and study all the time especially when you are seen.
  6. Everybody do your duty in the house promptly, pay bills on time, take our rubbish daily, take in clothes daily and fold it.
  7. Every Friday night and Saturday night, ask Ah Ma whether she need a ride to go market ( in advance action I think can safe the day to be more pleasant )
  8. Anyone, just give Ah Ma a shoulder massages daily to release her tension.
  9. Everyone take turns to talk to her, tell her about your day. Give her nice story if you have one.
  10. Let’s start to cook on weekend. Take turns ok; we are so darn tired I know.


So what can we do to have fun for free or spend cheaply?

  1. Swimming Haha, Celine and I went today to Aquatic Centre, Bukit Jalil its only RM5 per entrance and I get to exercise too. The pool is clear, less crowd, spacious and cooling. But ofcourse if you dont want to spend at all, get a friend that stay in condo and find your friend to swim together :)
  2. Draw and color. Whether you use paper or use PC software to draw will be fun too. Draw something nice, like how your future going to be, your dream house, dream girl or guy, etc. For me I think I need to draw 8 gold fish and decorate my room. Feng shui lol.
  3. Do facial, beauty care at home. Do Spa bath, body scrub. Wow I just love that.
  4. Get your friend to visit our house. Guest in the house always bring energy and calming the environment of the house, dont you feel it? everyone just have no choice but to smile and talk to your guest.
  5. Play indoor games (Pick up Stick, Monopoly, UNO, Computer games (this is not so preferred cos other family members cannot join and it cost more electricity). Get your friends over to join the indoor board games.
  6. Blog. be wise on your timing to blog.
  7. Read! Read the books in my library shelf. I got archie comics, magazines, computer books, business, marketing, recipe etc. Ok sorry not much romance book I notice.
  8. Sports activities (badminton, basketball)
  9. Learn how to solve the ruby cubes puzzle. Yeah I know Benroy can do that already, I havent learn it yet.
  10. Learn guitar or drum since we have those. Me no im not interested, maybe guitar :D
  11. Me need to learn VB.NET. Learning new software or programming language would be my choice.
  12. Make sandwich and go picnic at nice lake and gardens. All together.
  13. Borrow from/ exchange movie with friends and watch with all at home.

Thats all I can think of now, until here... if you got better ideas feel free to give comment :)

Night....sleeping now.
