Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

Well!! It's been a rough 2009... I'm sure not just for me, but for many at the office and around the world... Looking back, it wasn't really THAT rough, it SHOULD'VE been better but it COULD be worse... so I'm thanking God and the lucky stars in my life who made it worth living... there are so many other things i'm very grateful for..

My new year's resolution this year is - to lead a healthier life! That means less greasy food, more reading, more exercise and less TV.. I'll try to be nicer too... :-)

Happy birthday Dad!!!

Happy happy birthday, Dad!

Sorry for the delay in posting this bday wish, but I hope this year will bring you more joy and happiness than the last... Syukur thank God, we are so happy to have you as our dad, we wouldn't have it in any other way... Thank you for always being there for us...

We love you always!

xoxo

I love this picture...

Christmas is a comin'

Here is another favorite xmas song... the list goes on and on.. but this is one kinky xmas song no one should miss. LOL

And YES!!! I finally get a chance to complain how boring things are right now! I'm so excited because it's been a busy month... too busy to even pee, yet alone complain about how bad, boring, or lame things are... LOL!!

To the rest of you out there - i hope you get to complain about everything too.. It's a gift we should not refuse to give others who are willing to listen...

Happy holidays!!

Gambatte!!

I've noticed that some of you are going through a rough patch at the moment.. Talking to others doesn't seem to help your situation... you feel as if things are getting worse and worse as each day passes by.

In any case, my advice to you is... be positive! If you think this is bullshit, then i'm going to smack u in the butt to knock some senses into you. Seriously tho, how can you expect things to get better when you are negative all the time? You need to focus on a strategy... see it as a challenge! You can overcome this hurdle. Everyone goes through shit one way or another, it's just up to you to realise that you are actually in a better situation than many others in this mad, mad world.

Listen to music, avoid negative people, sleep! Sing! Cry! Write your feelings down, talk to a pro (a.k.a. ME! lol) or blog! There are so many avenues out there to express your anger and frustrations. I can say this now, cos few weeks past i've been going thru the same shit, but in a different hole, as you. Apakan. :p

Anyways, i'm here when you need me. You need some more russell peters in your life. LOL

All I want for Christmas is you...

It's so cheesy I love it! Not a fan of johnny depp per say, but i think it's a cute clip. And! I don't celebrate xmas, but to be honest, i don't think it would be the same without hearing this song in the background.. this one, and of course this song below:



If you ain't humming any of these songs yet, you're a xmas hater!! LOL!! To all the other xmas serial lovers out there, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! and hope you get all you wish for and more...!

Congratulations, Doc!

To el toniosky, congratulations for getting your phd with honors. I'm so proud of you!!!

A special thank you also for being patient and for always being there for me during tough times...

Welcome back to mother earth.

Hi guys... yes! It's been a while since the last time i updated my blog. If you look at Saint Nawtee's and 3471 family's blogs, you'll find that there were no updates either. The nightmare (i mean, work) is finally over. We are now back to reality. No more stress, headaches and over-exhaustion. I'm sure for some, it was a shock to the system. As for me - it was a wake up call i was willing to miss...

For the first time in four weeks, i woke up late today. No more late night/wee morning phone calls... no more stupid msgs abt stupid unnecessary things... and for once, i can feel the blood flowing through my veins and i feel human again. Haha.

Of course, we would not have done it without the help of the great people at the office... you guys have kept me sane... and compared to the past visits we done, i think this visit was much more bearable.... thanks to all of you... Great job... you know who you are... i will never forget all the work, sweat and tears we... excreted... during these past few weeks. LOL

THANK YOU!!!

The best thing about me... is you.

Meng's Wedding 14/11/2009 @ Noonaweena, Sydney

Sorry readers, I've been away to Sydney so I haven't been updating my blog recently... My best friend kate a.k.a meng got married last Saturday. :-)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Wishing Kate and Jordan Foster all the happiness in the world...

Happy wedding day!! And enjoy your honeymoon in Fiji!!

Stress free

Don't be stressed! yes, some of you have your exams, your assignments, your work, problems with relationships, colleagues... no point killing yourself over these things... Yes, please find below more tips... to be on your way to a stress-free life!

1) be in denial
This is your first step in the stress-free process. Switch off your brain for a few moments. Don't lose sleep over shit... because shit happens. and even shit happens to shit. and if you can't be in denial mode, then pretend like everything is ok. you can cry later.

2) crap as many times as you can in one day
Eat lots of vegies, fruits and fibre-filled foods. Once you 'drop the kids in the pool' as my brother likes to put it, you will feel better... trust me. and not one of those 'forced' crap either. The forced 'crap' isn't good for uranus. LOL. and ok, if you can't take a dump, then FART at least.

3) google or youtube your favourite animals
you can't help but smile. they are just.. awesome. fullstop.

4) watch a horror movie

I would recommend for you to watch 'shutter', 'the descent' or... any of the 'Saw' movies... this will help you also to deliver point no. 2 above.

But hey what do i know? I'm no doctor. Go see a doctor or a shrink... that will probably make you feel better.. but! at least my tips cost nothing! LOL!

Gotta love the lyrics. LOL

Thanks to Sir Nosferatus who first told me abt this song. It's friggin hilarious.

To all the stressed-out bunnies out there, this is for you... gambate!

LOL

~i get knocked down... but i get up again~

If you don't think it's cute, you're nuts.

Tips to do things faster at work.

1) Delegate.

If other people could do it, why should you? LOL!

2) Take 10 mins work spurts and 2 min breaks in between.

Unless... you're taking a dump in between, then i suggest you take more than 2 minutes. I'm using my 2 mins in between wisely, by creating this post. LOL

3) Come to work early.

Easier said than done. :-) This is like trying to quit a bad addiction, you know its difficult to do, but it has to be done.

4) Prioritise.

Obviously. You can't do everything all at once.

5) Inbox Zero.

Deal with the emails as you receive them. don't flood it with unnecessary useless junk.

6) Avoid distractions if possible.

Don't log into facebook (you know you will be on it for hours). Appear as 'offline' on your msn. Don't answer calls which you know are personal and those which can wait.

7) drink lots of red bull. or coke.

this will make u super hyper. LOL (ok this one i'm kidding, i'm NOT gonna be responsible if you pass out from a sugar high).

8) Don't stress over what others will think/thought of you.

they're gonna have an opinion on you anyway. whether you like it or not. use this time to focus on your work and ignore these bastards/bitches/ego-maniacs/hoes/skanks/idiots/sensitive/annoying/attention-seeking individuals. :-)

Good luck!
