一根火柴不夠一毛錢，一棟房子價值數百萬。但一根火柴可以燒燬一棟房子。
一根火柴是什麼東西呢？
1.無法自我控制的情緒；
2.不經理智判斷的決策。
3.頑固不化的個性。
4.狹隘無情的心胸。
檢查一下，自己隨身帶了幾根火柴呢？
Read this on a post in facebook. Think that it is worth sharing here. We should not letting small, something like our short temper, our fear or our own stubborness affect something much more precious, such as our friendships or our future!

A weekend getaway
The weekend was fun. I miss the people so much that i am now currently having withdrawal symptoms. Hate the fact that i only have less than two months left in Malaysia. To be honest, i wished we got closer earlier. It's always this ironic. But nonetheless, i am happy we had this getaway together. Am looking forward to the next one!
2nd last week at work. Time flies. It feels so comfortable being in the office right now that i guess i would feel a bit sad when i actually leave. But to be honest, i have no regrets cutting short my work duration. Just like i have no regrets taking up this job. I'll stick by decisions that i made and make the best out of them.
My schedule from July onwards is going to be real packed. I kinda wished i had more time. But that's never going to happen. So no point fretting about it. I'm gonna draw a physical calendar for my time left here and then plan how to make full use of it!

Breathe.
Someone asked me a few days ago if i am ok, because i have been very quiet recently. Hmm. I guess i am fine. But i admit that i am feeling a bit off recently. I have no idea why. I guess it's because i have not confirmed many things and that the time left to get them done is dwindling by the minute. Still yet to settle flight tickets and visa application. Still yet to confirm many things actually. The only thing i am sure of right now is that i will be going to Ohio in August. Oh, and London! Lol. That's what is sure. The rest is still one big blur!
Roughly 8 weeks left in Malaysia. Not a very long time. Especially since i have a few other commitments which restrict what i can do with that time. I am not complaining though. But maybe it is time i become a bit more selective with how i spend my time. I know my parents have been wanting to go on another trip as a family and previously i was reluctant because it would mean another Sunday morning which i am not able to teach. But, come to think of it, i need to spend more time with family right now. Because when i am god knows how many miles away from home in Ohio, they will be the ones i miss the most.
OK! FLIGHT TICKETS FREAKING EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW! I am hyperventilating! Should have booked earlier. What was i thinking? SIGHS!!!!

to-n-fro
Yesterday was tiring, but fun! Lunch, dinner, movie, supper session number one, supper session number two. All with college mates. Was tired from a whole day of work and activitites, but it is always fun to hang out with college mates and laugh about trivial stuffs. It refreshes me and reminded me of how easy friendship can be.
Communication is always a two way thing. I get that now. Doesn't mean i am used to it. In work, i see how easily a colleague discloses stories about herself. I wouldn't be able to do that. I guess i am just a more private person.
Oh wells, shall get back to work. I actually am getting quite accustomed to everything already. No kick.
Waiting for next week! Such a fun week! =)

Eyes barely open at this hour
Had a little female emergency in the office today. Rushed to the departmental store and bought what i needed. Felt so self conscious holding the pack of pads in a semi-transparent plastic when i walked back into the office. Thank god no one seemed to notice. Anyway, my back ached tremendously today. I assume because it is that time of the month. Seriously, it's at its worst since quite a long time. I don't even feel like leaving my bed right now, because that's how bad it feels when i stand or walk. It's not exactly pain, just discomfort. And i am feeling so so tired today.
The weather is so freaking hot! I can practically feel the heat radiating through my jeans and into my skin when i was in the car.
Friends coming down from Singapore next weekend. Looking forward to it =) Gonna have lots of fun with that few people.
My room's getting messy. I should clean it soon, and do something about all those textbooks and storybooks that have been piling up. And my wardrobe's a mess as well. Time to reorganize!

believe
So, I've been working for 2 weeks now. I initially thought i would work till the end of July and then have a break of about three weeks before flying off to the States. But a trip down to Singapore after the first week of working made me change my mind. In the bus trip back to Malaysia, i was plotting how to cut short my working durations. Lol. So as of today, i'll be working only until the end of June, which translates to one extra month of Holiday.
Well, the trip down to Singapore actually made me realized how much i miss the people in Singapore. We used to spend every day together. The people i remain close to right now, are actually unexpected in a way. It's weird how fate works out sometimes. I am glad actually, that despite the distance and months since our last gathering, we still managed to talk and laugh like before. It's as if time has never passed by. I went for bike hike again this year, to help out. And only 3 other from my batch turned up. Still, the small group of us managed to have fun. Thanks jingxi, kaiyun n jerrold, for making me laugh till my stomach ached!
Hmm.. back to stories bout work. I like the atmosphere in my office. It's very... hip i would say. Everyone working here is so young, but yet so driven. People i meet are also pretty impressive. Working actually made me realize how stuck in my comfort zone i have been all these while. People my age are already making a living and supporting themselves, yet i am only just a student.
Oh, i like my lifestyle now actually. Working actually 让我有份充实感. When i was studying, it was as if i was doing nothing. Just going to college, coming back, laze around and the cycle repeats. I do nothing productive. But with work, i have to wake up earlier, and after coming back from work, i fill up my evenings with family outings, friends outings, or occassionally a quiet night at home. After that i read my story book for half an hour before sleeping at 12 or latest 1. It's a predictable lifestyle, but at this moment, i feel contented with it. I like having the luxury of reading. Oh, and it's been about two weeks since i came online at night.
Visa and flight ticket still not done. I was supposed to get them settled this weekend @@ Sighs. Ok, Monday night! I SWEAR!
Sometimes, it's hard to decide who or what to believe. So, it's best to keep an open mind, and decide only when you have to. Sometimes, it's not even important so why lose sleep over it. Things will always work out in the end.
Oh i forgot, today's stint at the orphanage actually tested my patience. Too many mischiefs, too many tears. Lol. I was so worn out by the end of it all that i slept from 1.30pm till 6pm after that (granted that i slept at 5am the previous night/morning).
Ok. Enough rambling. I shall go to bed now.
