Before I Had To Write 2012 On My Dates...

I love Decembers! There were so many celebrations and it's filled with holidays. I know December 2012 will be the month where I can finally clear my annual leaves. Looking forward to finally be able to take annual leaves and just chill at home.. or maybe go for a short getaway somewhere. Anyway, I had a great December celebrating Flo+Wei Shin's baby shower, Christmas and of course, Boxing Day. Wish 20 cents were here for all these joyous celebrations.. oh well.. there's always another time.

Flo + Wei Shin's Baby Shower
This is my very first time attending a baby shower and it was of my close friends. Got to know them a few years back when 20 cents brought me to church. Flo was the first person to talk to me; I was that anti-social. Today, I am celebrating their baby shower together with them. How times flew by.. anyway, I am looking forward to see their little girl soon. It was a great celebration with plenty of laughters and joys during the baby shower.

The buffet spread was yummy!

Celebrated it in a small cafe in Plaza Damas; Elise's. Had great food, company and games! It cracks me up everytime I see the paper sheets of games. Now now, I am waiting to celebrate Flo+Wei Shin's baby's full moon. Woots!

Christmas Day
Celebrated in church this year. It was great to be in the House of God on Jesus' birthday. And I love giving out gifts on Christmas Day. It makes me happy.. but it gets a little odd that the seat next to mine is empty this year. Oh well.. I am going strong and trying really hard to adjust of 20 cents not being here always.

Christmas gifts!

Boxing Day at the Lee's
Was invited to the Lees for a Boxing Day dinner. Had great food and great company with 20 cents' family. And *cough* I shamefully pack back food for myself. Thanks Geri and Francis!


Christmas tree and gifts!


Food!!


More gifts!

Eventhough 20 cents were not around for these celebrations, he is back for New Year celebration. The long, long weekend with him will be more awesome!

The Perks of Being Me

I had three presentations in a short span of 10 days. And I was looking forward to learn a lot while I am attached to my FI. Yes, I learned a lot. I learned so much more than I would have probably learn in my 3 years of university life. Anyway, that was subjective because my job and degree has no relation at all. Of course, I learned a lot of interesting facts from my degree and I am exposed to cultures and what's not in my degree. But learning from work is altogether different. It's all hectic but so damn interesting.. the stress is there but I am just so damn happy because I am learning so much.

Well, you see.. I am an alright presentation person. Not to boast but my Mat Salleh trainer from my British Council classes think I did excellent in presentations. Gotta thank my very first lecturer from university for giving me an awesome insight of public speaking.. anyway, presentation in working world is so different. Fortunately for me, the judges for our evaluation were really, really nice. They taught us aplenty of technical stuffs around our FI and of course, the constructive criticisms made me even wanna work harder and smarter too. I feel so blessed that I am always surrounded by great people who are willing to teach me things. I hope it continues like that for a very long time. And when it's really my turn to teach, I want people to be able to understand the things I will teach..

Everyday I woke up, feeling thankful and blessed that I have great people to nurture and shape me to be who I am today. Of course, God is my number ONE teacher. My parents were there supporting me all the way.. I used to be rebellious and what's not but I guess growing really made me think differently about things in life. And I have my sisters too. I used to have really bad relationship with my sister but we outgrew that phase and now we are sisters; like literally sisters sisters. All my aunts and uncles who supported me and just being there for me and of course, not forgetting my number ONE fan, my Grandma! She was soooooooooo happy when she saw me in my robe and mortar board during graduation. Now she can boast to people that her granddaughter is a graduate with a great job.

20 cents would probably be my greatest, greatest supporter who guide me through my hardship and happiness. No matter how horrible the paths might be.. he is always holding my hands and letting me know that we can outcome everything. Boyfriend, are you reading this? I love you deep deep! My close,close friends or maybe someday become family; Francis and Geri.. thanks so much guys for always looking out for me and helping me when I needed help. Even 20 cents' parents are often there to look out for me. I am so blessed! I guess growing up really made me open my mind and eyes about things in life. Like how I am appreciating weekends now because it's such an awesome privilege to sleep until the sun comes down on weekends. Haha. I didn't do that.. I usually spend time alone at home or just chill with friends.

Life's great or what.. not quoting from ING or is it Great Eastern? Oh well.. to make my day an awesome one.. my superior treated us for lunch. Woots woots! I am looking forward to check off the things on my list. I checked off two already. Not telling you what's the list because well, awesome people sometimes do not reveal their awesomeness. Haha! And I'll be back blogging more about the things I did for the past few weeks. The blog is looking so dull without pictures!

Busier Than A Bee

I have yet to unpack my stuffs since I moved in like 2 months ago. Oh well.. I've been busy and lazy too. And oh yea.. tired. This month marks the third month I started my journey in the working world. Life's been pretty interesting. Like very, very interesting. I am beginning to like this path of mine.

Had 3 presentations in two weeks. It was all hectic and stressful but surprisingly, I am loving the stress. Ok.. maybe not the pimples. It irks me everytime I see another pimple popping out on my face everytime I get really little rest. Oh well.. guess it's time to do facial eh? I'll probably just whip out some face masks. It works the same too. And yes, I will be unpacking too. I need more space in my room.

What else eh? Christmas is this weekend! Woots! Did my Christmas shopping and I am almost done with wrapping gifts. I love Christmas!! I am gonna wrap everything up by tomorrow. 20 cents would not be around this Christmas but he said I could totally make a list of Christmas wishes here. And he'll grant some. I have an awesome boyfriend or what..

Love, my Christmas wishes goes like this..

1) Spending time with you (Maiu buffet, too! I'll book next week!)

2) Mini shopping spree, perhaps? I have yet to get a pair of pants for work.

3) Chatime's Brown Rice Green Milk Tea with Pudding !!!

4) Having you around to bring me out for grocery shopping (I need a table and ironing board. It's so hard to iron clothes on the floor.)

5) Spending New Year with you!

I'm not greedy, right? I can't wait for 20 cents to be back for New Year. I miss him super a lot! I think my life is gonna get more interesting.. interesting in a good way.

Blessed Christmas, everyone!


I don't know who's picture is this but it's too cute!

I'm A Freaking Graduate!

It's 1 in the morning and I am still awake. And I have to go work tomorrow. Oh man! Since I am awake, I might as well blog about this before I went all lazy and forgotten all about it. My first week of December has been great.

Let's start off with my GRADUATION ceremony!

I finally graduated. Ok.. I graduated last May but today marks the day where I wore the mortar board and robe! I totally look awesome in it. It's the banker's confidence I have to call myself awesome. Bad habit.. but oh well.. I do look great. You can't deny it! I was the 92th person to be on stage to receive my diploma (it's degree in American). I almost tripped because my shoes were too big for me. Thank you Jesus for not letting that to happen.



My family came down to KL for my ceremony. And 20 cents took a day off to attend my convocation and I was literally crying in tears of joys because of that. But he might not be back for Christmas. Oh well, he did mention that he's coming back for New Year. Yay! I miss him already! I was secretly crying in the car when we were sending him off to the bus station. 20 cents held my hand so tight and I wanted to just burst into tears there and then. I gotta stay strong for both of us.



Didn't manage to take a lot of pictures with my coursemates though. I was tired and the family was here. So I took some and left. It might be the end of us as students but this is the new beginning of the new chapter of life. And I believe all of us will do well. I know I can do it :)



Wrote a note for everyone in my Facebook page. It's a personal thing so go read if you have my Facebook account. If you don't, sorry! You could always ask me about it :)

Gotta rest for work tomorrow! I can't wait for New Year so I could spend more time with 20 cents.
