Birthday Gifts

The other time I was thinking to myself that I need new clothes. So I'm definitely looking forward to my trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia next Saturday so that I can grab me some new clothes and try to get them as cheap as possible, without of course holes and tear. Then this kind soul asked me if I want her clothes because she has some clothes which she can't fit anymore and I thought why not..hehe. I'm fine with second hand clothings. Anything to add to my wardrobe as long as of course, I can fit and wear them.

She also gave me some decorative buttons for my cards which puzzled me initially because I thought that she forgot to give me or something. But then after my birthday, she gave me in this nice little handmade gift bag which I tried to find on youtube later on how to make it, haha.

Anyway, let me share with you the gifts that I got. I didn't take pictures of the things inside though.






I got another gift from my colleague (btw these all above are from them) a day before my birthday and I actually thought I took a picture of it but actually it was a video recording :/

Anyway, it had a cute cat motif packaging which was sweet because after that, inside was a pencil box with more cat motif! All because I like to send her and a couple of my other colleague videos of the popular Maru. You should check out youtube on this cat. He's such a joy to watch..so much so in future, I don't need kids, I just need an entertaining fat cat.

Actually the first gift I ever received was a hongbao with Malaysian ringgit in it. I used some of it (changed to SGD first of course) because I was low in cash but will promptly replace it before my trip next Sat.

I wanna thank them from the bottom of my heart for all the gifts :) They make working in the office more worthwhile. They have changed the dynamics of the workplace but they have added some colour to it as well despite some minor squabbles given their age and experience. I guess not every workplace is perfect right? 

I gave them personalized notebooks as a way of saying thanks. Oh, plus a hippo chocolate from Kinder Bueno which they thought at first was an image of a naked woman body because they mistook the hippo's eyes as er...boobs. Never mind. Silly me didn't take a picture of them but the next day I made a notebook for the Vice Principal who kindly gave me hongbao or red packet :)

Of course it has to be bigger lah. The one on the left was the size of notebooks given to my colleagues.



Nice to have people who care about you. To me, it's not the value of the gifts but the kindness of people that touch my heart and I want to thank God for such people. I want to also change for the better because as I age, I don't wish to become just older with age but wiser with knowledge.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
