Another Set Up

I can't wait to get my new credit card. It will be an actual credit card and not the other lame debit & credit card though admittedly, it has helped me in terms of paying the bills in advance though these greedy people, once you pay, ask you to pay even more. That's when I start to struggle.  Anyway, that card is just a welcome addition to my wallet, which is pretty devoid of cards save for my identification card and ATM card. That aside, I got the Christmas presents ready! I got them all in one shot from this shop at Far East Plaza that sells mostly budget bags. Of course when I say budget, it's not like they're in the best workmanship. Like i justified to my mum, it's just a Christmas present and I don't even celebrate Christmas and I don't have to make much efforts unlike a birthday present. Even then...I still suck at gift buying.
Then yesterday, I resisted buying this denim bag with pink details and it costs only $10! WAH!!! I put it back of course coz I told myself that I am here to buy Christmas presents for PEOPLE not for myself. But I still ended up buying myself a black plastic bracelet coz it has been ages since I last bought one. It goes well with any outfit so it's a no brainer purchase at $5. Im usually fuss free with accessories but you need a few statement pieces that goes well with many outfit no matter how plain they may look. It adds a bit of oomph to your outfit.
After the purchase, I treated my family to dinner at Ramen Ten. The problem is that, I planned to go next week when my brother's maintenance fees come in but my mum thought of going there this week and since I would be going Far East Plaza where Ramen Ten is located, so....we just did it one shot. Hrmph..money just flew and all because of my big mouth who blurts out my sudden craving to eat there..haha. But it's okaylah, I've got it covered.
Actually, I want to talk about setting me up with someone else looking for potential mates by sussing out the singles via friends or relatives contacts. I just deleted one off my facebook coz I've spoken to him like once only and then it's not as if I know him. It's just a random thing that my ex colleague tried to set me up with. Obviously, it didn't work...haha..not that I was counting on it to work.
Then on the very same day, and the very same morning, another of my ex colleague tried to hook me up with one of her friends! What the hey. She's younger than me and she's playing matchmakers already. I thought that role has been reserved for aunties. Of course I was just trying to be kind enough to allow him to add me on facebook and then she claimed he did but I did not respond. So cannot wait. I didn't receive the friend request, how to add? He did send me a chat message but I was away from my office table from that period of time so I could not reply and he was offline already.
Honestly, it's very awkward for me. I know I shouldn't dismiss such chances but at the moment, I'm not looking for a relationship and can people stop assuming that just because I'm single, I need to be hooked up with someone? I'm still very old fashioned like I prefer if I have seen the guy before and we develop a friendship from there. So far, it has not happened yet..haha. It's just so awkward for me to know someone without seeing the person and why is that? It makes me more paranoid coz people tend to picture how the other person looks like and then you know, I'm not exactly the head turner sort. I know that's shallow thinking but won't you have the same notions too?  
Then because I know them and they're good people so it's hard for me to just wave them off with my hand and say I'm not interested...unless it's my aunty, haha.
So what is a single...and not looking for love girl..gonna do now?

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...
