This weekend has been exceptionally tiring; on friday, right after work - rushed to SIB KL for the United concert. Q-ed in the extremely long, long, long line for almost an hour. It was also very stuffy, and it started smelling sweaty; i guess almost everyone came after work or somewhere. My sisters and i sat on the balcony sittings, less ppl and there were sits. My legs were aching so much from all the standing and waiting, having a sit was heavenly! haha...

Truth be told, all the waiting and standing, and having to bear with the sweatiness was worth it. It was an awesome time of praise and worship.

I dont have any pictures from the concert bcause we werent allowed to take any pics, and i dont even have a camera; thus it doesnt make a diff to me :P However i was disappointed that Marty Sampson wasnt present. It seems that he recently got married, and he was on his honeymoon *sob sob. Hmm..i wonder if Joel Houston is still available? hehe

The next morning i had to go to work, it was very unfortunate. I had to drag myself out of bed; my body, especially my legs were aching from all the jumping and dancing from the previous night. Thankfully there werent much to do at work, hence i rested in the lab with the nice, cool air-cond and with air-borne bacterial hehe.

Got home after work, and felt super hungry. Ate a lot, felt sick from eating too much and almost snooze off during worship practice haha.

Sat evening was a quite one; Thank GOD!!! I opted to stay at home and miss the yummy-tom yam dinner, cause i was just too tired. Suprisingly, good food wasnt even able to get me up and about; it usually works hehe.

Woke up early this morning, had a combine service with another church in Bukit Tinggi, Klang - Agape Sanctuary. After church, went to Tesco Klang. Normally im very willing to go shopping, even if its only grocery shopping. However, i was not in the mood - still tired. Arrived home only around 6 pm; cleaned my room and finally im here blogging.

My younger sis keeps complaining that she is hungry, will be going out for dinner. Im so lazy and reluctant to move another muscle in my body. Shucks....just remembered that tmr is Monday - another day of work. Oooh, the horror!

My Christmas list!!

So fast a week just flew by, and another is just about to.
Work has been tiring, i think ive mentioned it a thousand times in my blog.
Am glad that Nov is about to end, cause Dec, Christmas and the end of my internship is not far off.
Im anxiously looking forward to Christmas; i always do, and yes, even more than Chinese New Year - though 'ang pows' are part of the celebration.
Nothing beats Christmas! :D
Well, one of the reason why i fancy Christmas so much is due to the presents! Weee!
It might sound a lil childish or non-religious, but im being honest here; do name me a person who doesnt like presents? :P
The birth of Jesus Christ, my Saviour is the main story behind this very special day; but having presents and a Christmas tree in the living room has already been apart of tradition in almost every part of the world.
Its excellent that Christmas Day is known universally; i believe its the ideal way of spreading and making known the true meaning of Christmas, dont you agree? :D
Anywayz, i thought of making a Christmas list this year. Truth be told, ive never done this before.
However its a good change, cause i do get a lil restless when ppl keep asking me what i would like as a Christmas gift and to also lessen the intensity of your headaches; from trying to figure out what to buy for me. See! Im such a nice and thoughtful person hehe
Its just a list, so dont feel pressured if you cant afford any on the list. I must warn you that i do have an expensive taste :p

My first Christmas list, 2006;

1. A digital camera, preferred choice; Olympus FE-180
2. A nokia handphone, preferred choice; Nokia 6080

3. A nike backpack4. Books, preferred choices;
~Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

~For One More Day by Mitch Albom

~ P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern
~ A Study Bible

5. Baby- T's, need more of them for uni. Im wearing the same ones all the time :P Btw, im a M size. Cotton material would be best :D

6. Jeans.. im a size... well, i you really do intend to get me one - call me! haha

7. Anything nice and from the heart! hehe..

Seriously, coming up with a Christmas list is not as easy as i thought it would be.
Believe me, this is the first and last time i'll ever do this :D

WELCOME BACK NANA!! :P

Yes i know, i know; ive been slacking, havent been updating my blog as regularly as i should.
However, finally there's something to blog about; my darling Jo is back home!!
Have been waiting for her return for quite a long time, but on the contrary, i still can hardly digest the fact that 9 months just flew by and my dearest 'nana' is back! hehe

WELCOME BACK NANA!!!!! WEEE!!

Thus i went down to Klang to pay a visit to my 2 good friends, and i was simply delighted to see them. It felt like ive not met them in ages! hehe

I guess i do miss them a whole lot!

As usual, food has always been an important part of our meetings.
We had lunch at Trix's place, had yummy homecooked food :)
After an hour or so, we headed to Baskin Robbins for deserts! Yum Yum..
Not long after; around tea time, we went for sushi! haha.. It was definitely a whole day food affair for us. Well, it has always been :p

Even though the food was great and also an essential part of our outing, yet just having my 2 closest friends with me are all i ever need.

It was a fantastic-awesome-wonderful-great day :)

14th November

Ive been busy as a bee, with mostly work.
On the contrary, i fell ill during the weekends - thus resulting in this very outdated post.
There's nothing much to elaborate about work, its quite repetitive everyday; my hands are always in contact with bacterial, yeast or molds. If it isn't microbes, its various type of harmful and unharmful chemicals.
My hands are extremely dry and rough; my thumb looks like its rotting or the more precise word would be - decaying!
I hope that my thumb doesnt fall off, out-of-a-sudden! :p

Well other than work, ive finally written 2 new songs.
The drought has come to an end! Hence i pray that God will continue to bless me with many more songs.
I still can remember it so vividly in my mind; i wrote my first song to God when i was just 15.
I was inspired by a young man, who was just a few years older than me - whom wrote a rather simple yet beautiful song for God before his sudden death.
I still remember asking God that i wanted to write songs too and not because i was dying soon, but just because i wanted to - i was desperate to find a new way of expressing my love for God.

I wrote a few songs, but not too long - i found myself in the wilderness.
I went away from God, lost my way; i thought there was no returning.
But im glad that God found me, and the songs started pouring in again. I dont ever want God to stop.

I completed writing 2 songs on Sunday, but due to my incapableness to play any music instruments - ive to rely on my sister when it comes to finding the right chords.

I thought of asking my mum to teach me the piano, she was a piano teacher before.
Ive havent ask her yet, but i'll bring myself to - i hope.

Its been a great year, even though its been filled with ups and downs. Its hard to imagine that one year is about to pass by.

Hehe.. i think it is still a lil too early to write a post about 'the ending of a year, and a beginning of another'. I'll save it for another day. Hmm.. more like, next month :p

There goes Wednesday, here comes Thursday!

Its already Wednesday, but it hasnt sunk into me yet; and that Thursday is only a few hours away!
Im glad that the days are passing by quickly due to various reasons; firstly, Jo, a very good friend of mine will be coming back from Aust this Friday. Weeee!; secondly, the faster time flies, the faster i'll be done with my internship - im not exactly enjoying it, its the same routine; day in, day out, and its a tiring and stressful affair. I doubt i'll ever like working :p
Thirdly, the sooner Christmas approaches, the better. Even though ive to spend money to shop for prezzies! hehe but i enjoy it very much, the best day of the year! :D

Ive started to really appreciate every single second that i have, free since work started.
Im working on alternate Saturdays too, hence im left with trifle time to spend it with my family and friends.
Usually i'll be too exhausted after work, that all i truly want to do is to sleep and eat! haha..
An hour of lunch is seriously insufficient for me hehe.
Though im dreading the internship, ive learnt lots of practical things concerning the science field; specifically in the aspect of microbiology.
Im basically dealing with bacterial, yeast and even molds, everyday! hehe
My mum tells me the same thing almost everyday;'Make sure you dont bring home any bacterial with you!'. Haha..

Well there's actually quite a number of things to blog about, but im a lil too lazy.
Ive been using my hands and fingers the whole day long, thus lets give them a break.
They deserve it hehe.

Every girl's dream

I attended a wedding this afternoon, and am glad that i did.
Weddings have a way of making me feel all fuzzy inside; to be honest, it leaves a rather sweet and pleasant feeling in me, and i would start imagining how my wedding would be like.
Yeah, its true that we girls begin picturing and planning our future weddings in our minds at a very young age.
It may seem silly but its a girl thing, and i know some guys find the whole idea quite stupid.
Well i dont expect the male species to understand, cause we're made so differently, and its alright if you guys dont :)
Before the wedding i had a short chat with my mum, she jokingly said to me that looking at the rate of both my eldest sis and i are at, we might not even get married haha.
And im glad that she said it was fine with her, if i did not.
I guess due to past relationship failures, ive been a lil skeptical about the whole marriage thing.
I know im just entering my twenties, however there's certain kind of expectation from ppl when your at that age.
Addition to that, im constantly bombarded with the same ole question; 'So do you have a bf already?', and im tired of having to repeatedly convince ppl that im single.
Ppl dont seem to believe me when i tell that im still very much single, and they'll have this i-dont-believe-you kinda look on their faces; as if im not entirely speaking the truth.
At times i do feel a lil pressured by ppl's expectations, and i start looking high and low for the right one.
Having to surrender this particular area in my life to God, has been the hardest and an endless battle.
Ive tried to reassure myself many times, that if its God's will for me to be single - i'll accept it. Yet deep down in my heart, i desire what every ordinary girl do; to settle down and have a family.
Im very much aware that whatever God has plan out for me is the best.
Im certain that i wont be walking down the aisle anytime soon; thus for the mean time, i'll just enjoy and take delight in those that are :)

God is good, all the time

Hmm... on the surface is pure as snow, but beneath is filled with dirt!
Thats how i would interpret my current outlook towards my internship.
When everything seemed to be going on smoothly, the big boss of the company could not resist the urge to complicate matters for me.
Ive been assigned to the microbiology lab; where ive been undergoing intense and vicious training to test water and food products for microorganisms.
Its incredibly intriguing, and i was indescribable happy till the big boss told me that im supposed to carry out a R&D project; ELISA - Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays.
Let me point out to you that Human Sc is not my major, its FOOD SC!!!
I explained my concerns to my supervisor and im glad that she understood me. She even spoke to the big boss on my behalf, but the big boss still insisted.
Thus i'll be performing R&D on something that im clueless about, which isnt my major and doesnt ring a single bell in my head!
Its definitely a deja-vu situation; all seem well at the beginning, and then WHACK! I'll get a sudden smack on the head, and everything goes haywire!
However it usually ends well too, and im hoping for that similar ending for this present situation.
Well God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good! *winks

Work, work

Well first day of work was a breeze.. i sat down on the chair with my legs up on the desk the whole day long, and took short naps once in awhile.
haha.. i wished..
Actually i was up on my feet almost the entire time.
They gave me an awfully thick file which was filled with uncountable numbers of procedures, to read in just a few hours.
It was mentally exhausting.
Not too long after that, when the electricity was back; the practical work begin and it was nonstop!
One after the other, i thought my mind would blow!
My arms are aching and my feet too - a lil.
I'll start to get the hang of it by the end of the week, i hope.
I think i contaminated a few samples today :P Thankfully one of my colleague is extremely nice, and she covered up for me hehe
Even though there's lots to do all the time, its very interesting!
I learned lots in just one day, its a lil overwhelming but i guess i dont really mind.
My brain is kinda jelly-fied already ...overworked haha..
Another day tmr, and wishing that it'll be slightly more relaxing :)
