New Year Eve

Sick, sick & sick. At home resting, but the apartment above my home is renovating. So cannot rest quietly.

Most likely, will spend the new year eve at home sleeping and resting with noise above my home. Surprisingly, there is still renovation at the place where I am staying as it is an old apartment block.

The renovation at my new house is worrying me and caused me sleepless nights. It has not really started as most likely, the renovation will start after chinese new year.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be better as I wish to go out and not stay at home. Anyway, stay at home is alrite as I need to clean my cabinets and throw away some files. Come to think of it, not some but a lot of files.

Sickness, please go away and let me celebrate new year happily.

Bye bye 2012 and welcome 2013

2012.

Overall

What has I achieved in 2012? I have been working like a dog in 2012. In 2012, I was also rewarded for my hard work. The year 2012 brings me a lot of hard work and some good news too.

Work.

Good. All my hard work was rewarded although still below my expectation.But what can one expect from a company which is so calculative.

Love

Average. Could have done better if not for the heavy workload.

Family

Great. Happy as it is. Nothing to complain


2013.

Overall

My hope for 2013 is lesser work. No more working like a dog. If I am still with the same company, this will remain the same, all year round, hard works. Maybe is time I leave this company and join a new company.

Work

Hope my salary will reach my expectation. Need more money to meet my monthly expenses. It is time to move on to a better pay job.

Love.

Hope to do better in this area.

Family

Hope my brother can sleep well. As for me, to be healthy always.

Generally, life has been good to me despite the ups and downs. Nothing to complain. Could have done better.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui. Either you believe in it or don't believe in it. Is it a matter of the flow of chi? Recently, I have an encounter with a Feng Shui master. Took the opportunity to ask him a bit on my BaZi. BaZi is another form of calculation on the life.

Work. Apparently, my life is dedicated to work. Ha Ha Ha, no more dreams of being a grand lady of the house and no need to work. 

According to the Feng Shui master, our life is about one third is how we live our life, one third is feng shui and one third is our BaZi. He qualified himself by saying action speaks louder than the rest and action can overcome the feng shui and baZi.

I half heartedly believe him and as they are no major issues affecting my house, I will try my best to follow his recommendations.

So, my new house, I will be shifting there soon. Sigh, the budget is so tight that I feel the pinch even before going there.

Money, can you fall from the sky so that I can collect some to settle my "financial woes"?

Happy New Year!!!

If I could turn back the clock, I will ............

The new year is coming. As I look back to my past, I feel I have learn a lot from my mistakes and be stronger. Without those mistakes I made, I will never be what I am today, a better person.

If I could turn back the clock, I will go back to the past to change/do the following:

teens - study harder and stop annoying my mum with my "couldn't care less" attitude.

20s - study harder and stop dreaming too much. Day dreaming was my hobby at that time.

30s - Less arrogant and more considerate for other people's feeling. Also to stop antagonising those who loves me.

In my life, I always feel I could be a better person but if I have to live my life all over again, I will do it the same way. Perhaps, should stop antagonising those who loves me.

What will I do if I could turn back the clock, I will ........:

Love - Love bravely and without fear. Think and analyse too much. Care too much of the consequences.

Career - Could do better but happy with the way I am presently.

Family - Could have love my parents more and take care of them better while they were alive.

For my brother, I thank him very much for standing by me through thick and thin, health and sickness. Without him, I will not be what I am today. Thanks, bro. I will not make it in life without you.

Poor but happy

Poor but happy. That is what my childhood is about. When I was just a little kid, there is no TV in my house and we have to go to the neighbour's house to watch TV. Although there is no TV in my house, I was happy as a kid. My mother loves me very much and  I am pampered by her. This make up for the lack of material goods in my childhood.

My dad used to buy "Hokkein mee" whenever his pay day came. Although I do not have many toys to play with and clothes to wear, I was very happy. In the government flat where I lived, there were many good and tasty food to eat like my favourite, "Hokkein mee".

Compared to now, when I can buy most of the things that I want or fancy, I feel that I was happier as a kid with my parents around. Sad to say, my parents were not around to enjoy life with me when I was earning a decent income.

How I wish I can still have my parents around so that I can pamper them too. Well, school days were still the best compared to working life. Having said that, I do like my work and the nitty gritty that comes with it. However, sometimes I do feel I will have a better career life if not for certain things that happened in my life.

A person need not be rich to be happy. She willl feel happy when she is living her life to her satisfaction.
