~*angie's lil reverie*~

Searching for an answer...

These few months had passed like a breeze to me.

It seemed like I had just graduated, but in actual fact, I have been part of the working group for about 2-3 mths.

In this short period of time, my lifestyle had changed. And everything around me seemed to change.

I could hardly remember when was the last time I could talk freely in front of a big group of friends.

I could hardly remember when was the last time I had actually laughed out loud, feeling real happy.

I could hardly remember when was the last time I could sleep soundly at night without worrying about anything.

I also couldn't remember when was the last time I had truly enjoyed myself during my off day or weekend.

Some things are just so different now.

Inspired

I had lunch with my boss today and he gave me quite an inspiring talk.

He said,
" There are ups and downs in life. What really matters in life is that you must know how to stand up and fight when you are down rather than letting yourself sink deeper into the hole."

How true. No matter how difficult my path is going to be, I must remind myself constantly that I must learn to stand up after each fall.

Choco-Monster

Remember my craze over the Choco Baby during exam time?

The craze is back! And it has even came back much stronger!

It's not longer Choco Baby! It should be renamed as Choco Monster! The new cartridge is at least 3 times bigger than the original Choco Baby! Don't believe me? Check this out!

Look! It's almost as big as an ordinary chocolate bar!

Chocolate Rulz!

Good Job

We often heard our friends complaining about their jobs.

But, my question is: "What defines a good job?"

Does a well-paid job makes it a good job? Or a job which gives people a great sense of satisfaction can be defined to be a good job? Or a job which contributes value to the society is a good job? Or a job which gives you fame and status is then a good job?

I would think that there is no fixed rule as to what defines a good job. Everybody has their own definition of a good job. But, I would think that as long as you are happy with your job, you can call it to be a good job.

Nevertheless, we tend to think that the grass is always greener on the other side. We tend to find flaws with our jobs and would argue that our friends' jobs are better than ours. That's the problem with our human nature. We love to compare. Is it true that our friends' jobs are better than our job? It may not be so.

It really depends on how you look at your job. If you can start to appreciate the beauty of your job and overlook the bad points, I guess you would definitely be happy with your current job.

Sick Cat

I'm sick.

Terrible sick.

My throat hurts so much that I find it so hard to even swallow my saliva.

I sneeze so often that I think my nose is going to drop off anytime.

And my left eye is swollen.

I'm feeling so miserable.

I hate to be sick.

Mama's Bah Zan

Though this may look like an ordinary dumpling to you, this is simply the Best Dumpling in the world! All the ingredients are specially seasoned by my granny and beautifully wrapped by my mother. For those who know me well, you all should know that I have a fussy tongue and I ONLY eat dumpling made by my mother. Nothing else. ( So if you ever want to buy any food for me to eat, don't ever buy dumpling as I won't eat them even if they are very famous or what. I ONLY eat my mum's dumpling. )

You must be wondering why am I talking about dumpling when Duan Wu Jie had passed long ago. Well, I have strong craving for my mum's dumpling now, but I have to wait for next year's Duan Wu Jie then I can have fortune of eating them. So, I guess I could only look at this photo to satisfy my desire.

Or maybe I should persuade my mum to rent a space at coffeeshop that sells dumpling. And we shall call the shop Mama's Bah Zan.

Don't you think it's a good idea? Heehee.

Drug Addict

Due to my persistent cough and sore throat, I have became a drug addict. I'm seriously addicted to Robitussin Cough Drops. I will be tempted to buy one packet everyday and I would just finish it within a day! And I would feel uncomfortable if I don't eat any in a day. And that's precisely how I'm feeling now.

However, I guess excessive consumption of the cough drops would do me no good, so no matter what I must stop myself from that for at least one week! If anyone of you sees me eating or buying that, please give me a tight slap.

I can finally understand how hard it is for a smoker to quit smoking.

By the way, despite what I had said eariler, I must still say that Robitussin Cough Drops are indeed a good cough suppressants that help relieve your cough symptoms naturally. Just don't consume them too often. >_<

Home-cooked Dinner is the BEST

This was what I ate for dinner last night.

Though it looked very ordinary, to me, it was the best dinner I had ever eaten for the past few mths! I really miss my mum's dinner! I simply couldn't remember when was the last time I ate a proper dinner at home... I really hope I could come home for dinner more often.

......

Anyway, my wonderful sis had given me a BEAUTIFUL OCCUPATION MUG.

It says,

Proud to be a 100% qualified,
Analysing, Income Protecting,
Number crunching,
Planning Financial Advisor.

It's simply so cool, isn't it?

Lonely No More

Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
But words are only words
Can you show me something else

Can you swear to me that you'll always be this way?
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby

Well I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this
I don't want another lover at my door
It's just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't wanna be lonely anymore

Ooooh Oooooh Oooooh Ooooh
Now it's hard for me
When my heart's still on the mend
Open up to me
Like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me
And it's harmony
Girl what you do to me is everything
Let me say anything just to get you back again
Why can't we just try?

I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this
I don't want another lover at my door
It's just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't wanna be lonely anymore

Ooooh Oooooh Oooooh Ooooh

What if I was good to you?
What if you were good to me?
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me?
What if it was paradise?
What if we were symphonies?
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you?

I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this
I don't want another lover at my door
It's just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't wanna be lonely any more

Ooooh Oooooh Oooooh Ooooh

I don't wanna be lonely any more
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna be lonely any more

I love my FAMILY

For once, I came home at 7+ after work.

Ever since I had started work, I had never reached home before 9pm.

The earliest was around 8.

Thus, I was really happy to be home so early tonight.

With no tuition or work.

Which means that tonight is one of the rare nights in which I could actually spend more time with my family.

However, none of them is at home, except my granny.

Sigh.

Sometimes I wonder is it worth it to slog your life at work that you tend to neglect your family?

To me, my family is everything.

If I were given a choice, I would definitely choose family over anything.

Yes, I mean anything.

That includes money.
