I'm Loving It

LOVE is in the air.

The weekend has been good. It has been a while we made it a point to do things together on our doing-things-together-Saturdays.

Jin suggested to visit the gym in the new house. Since he got muscle tear and so his plan was to just lift weights while I can do some cardio. But my butt muscles are still painful after my badminton session on Thursday. (also I can't wake up la... it's SATURDAY for God sake!!).

I finally had no choice but to wake up at 10am because the contractor will only be available until 11am. We went to select the wall tiles, floor tiles and then went over to the new house to receive the kitchen equipments. The company we bought the equipments from are quite messy but the boyfriend is just too nice compared to myself. He talked and explained very nicely and gently (which I am expecting the retailer to do that instead of the customer), and in the end, we went all the way to Setapak to settle the balance payment.

Things I really enjoyed the weekend with Jin:
1. Getting his shirts/tie/socks for work
2. Talking about the ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends
3. Went to pasar malam because I wanted to eat Banana to have better output in the toilet.

Monday is coming! I am waking up tomorrow at 5am. Tomorrow is Jin's first day of work. I am so excited!

Valentine's

The girlfriend: I love you romeo.

The boyfriend: I love you juliet.

Happy Valentine's Day!

A Day In My life

I've been skipping writing this for a while...it's time to keep it going.

Here it goes.

Today my top three priorities are: (since it is already 10:13pm now, I will write down my top three priorities for tomorrow)

1. To complete the finding report.
2. To ensure smooth running of the department.
3. To draft out the process and training.

All are work related. And I don't think all can be completed tomorrow. :)

Three words or phrases that describe me:

1. loved.
2. very real.
3. I am kind.

I am serious. Hahaha. I think I inherited all these from my dad (my mom is also a very nice person).

Three words or phrases others would use to describe me:

1. mean. too mean sometimes...especially with lazy people, liars and evil people.
2. funny
3. simple - a very nice way but some may think it's stupid.

I like myself most when: I did the right thing.

I like myself least when: I am not determined.

A new invention allows me to change one thing about myself. I decide to change: determination.

That change would make the following difference in my life:

1. Fit - because I will be determined to exercise.
2. Healthy - because I will say no to sinful food I like only and say yes to fruits and the green stuff.
3. I will have long hair. I like to get my hair cut.

One place I go to find peace: the (clean and safe) beach.

One activity that makes me happy: Just one? OK, being with the people I love.

One circumstance or person that consistently makes me so angry I might explode: I think should be people who take me for granted... If you know me, I am quite predictable.

One train of thought that brings me serenity in the midst of stress: To have a thankful heart.

Challenges I am currently experiencing that I have some control over: Work?

Challenges I am currently experiencing that I cannot control: Work also? It's OK, have a thankful heart.

Fly

I was already at the airport 1.5 hours before boarding. I was praying for good weather so that there will not be any delay or retime because it has been raining for the past two days. Thank God for a smooth journey. It is my second time traveling alone since last October, and actually I enjoy traveling alone (siting in the airplane alone) because it makes me think of my family and people I love. And there is always a funny thought what if the  plane....haha..

I love you mom. I love you dad. You know my dad is so lovely this afternoon. Normally he will leave the house after lunch around 3.30pm but today when mom and I reached home at 3pm, he was rushing into his bus and left. Mom saw that he was still munching food in his mouth when he left and was wondering why was he in a hurry. We went back into the house and manage to grab a quick bite before I left. On the dinner table, dad left a red packet on top of the plate.

To Laverne, from Dad.

It is a love message from dad.

Anyway, it was a safe journey. And it is rather a funny experience this time. I finished reading 2 magazines and played solitaire on my ipod until I win a game. Normally I only listen to the slow songs on my ipod, but I kept skipping the slow song and got really excited listening to some techno songs on the playlist. 2.5 hours passed very fast (especially with the techno songs). There was announcement that we are required to put on the seatbelt and prepare for landing. Normally, landing is pretty scary especially with the famous airline we're talking about here...but surprisingly, it landed VERY SMOOTH. Just when I was thinking to tell Jin later how cool the landing was, there was an announcement again in Malay..."Dear passengers, we have yet to land, please remain at your seat because we do not know we should land on the left or the right...thank you for your patience.."

...

Jin had cell group earlier so that he could end it earlier to come to airport and fetch me. Then we had catch up chatting at Sweetbean. Then Jin sent me home and we took the luggage up. It's true that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... The grill was locked. And I don't have the key!!!! The very friendly neighbor next-next door looked out from his unit and so I tried my luck by borrowing his key hoping that it is the same...but it is not. Alright, I used to lock my brother outside the house once when he came back from work. So this is the pay back time.

Good night. It is my first day of work tomorrow.

Stranded

Oh so sad I am at airport, kar heng did not come and pick me up.

haha.

jk.

happy birthday to you!

立春

lì chūn - it means spring begins.

Aunt called to asked mom if we managed to make the egg stands on its own. So we went home and try and tada!

Where is the Sun?

It rained almost the whole day yesterday. And now, the sky is so moody at 11:15am.

Show me the sun...I am going back soon, give me the sun! Haha.

初九日

I woke up earlier than I thought these few days. According to mom, today is Hokkien's first day of new year which is also mom's birthday (according to the Chinese calendar).

Then we went to Wisma Merdeka to get something and bump into Louis. What a small world! Then we went to Warisan Square and bought mom new pants and shoes.

Yes, I bought myself a pair of flats!

Hello February

I can't really say that "time flies" in KK, but I've lose count of which day or what day here... Anyway, 4 more days and I will be back to work.

Hello February. What happened to January?

On the first day of the year, we were praying in the new building, for the new building. :) Many things to let go and move on, un-learn some things and re-learning some foundation truths in life. Leading cell groups, teaching bible studies, attending counseling sessions, morning prayer meetings, singing with the team, finally having my hair cut after 3-4 attempts. Work was rather slow. Not that we don't have things to do, but really really have to be focus on the strike off the long to do list. No increment this year, that is sad. The angel and devil character in me were fighting. Sigh, just have to face it. I wonder how quiet CNY can be in KL. Last weekend, I was with Tom and Tony in Pyramid doing some "last minute shopping". The atmosphere was really quiet. Maybe everyone is in the balik kampung mood. CNY back at home this year is more meriah. I am glad that mom and dad are healthy. Most of the time at home we spend on the dining table and in front of TV. I had a short 2 hour sun tanning at the beach. Wooooohoo.

A year of promise. A year of ministry. 4 more days for me to complete this before I leave.

1. Finish writing the email.
2. Realigning my vision/goals this year.
3. Prepare sermon for Fri/Sun.
4. Update my resume.
