Lucky You, Lucky Me
“Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.”
Recap
As mention in my previous post, I was to begin a new chapter in life. Hehe. Which actually meant, I got a job.
Work has been alright for now. Just that I don’t exactly know my job scope just yet. For now am suppose to handle the English and Malay media. Which I’ve done great. Connections are getting stronger cause I try to make them feel appreciated and contact them personally not blasting out mass emails.

The first week itself was busy for me. It was the company’s annual dinner and book launch. Lucky for me, I made many new friends in an instant. It was fine yet tiring. Hours were long, weekend was filled.

brissy mates yo!
Though things were new for me. Trying to adapt to all this. I did slot in time for my friends. Erika and Ija was back from Brissy for a holiday. Nisa, Amad and Nisa’s sister Nurul, and her bf came down for a visit. So we had a lil get together. Brissy style, which meant a BBQ!
Family ;p
It was a lot of fun, catching up with all of my old friends. Loads of laughter and I finally learnt how to play tai-ti. A cook out is always fun.
Til the next round of BBQ and fun time!
TGME
TGME, YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!
Hehe. Although I was so late. I did go for the sole purpose of supporting you “kiddies”. Sorry yea. Will try to be there on time the next time.
It was a great night out. It was simple and short with the nearest and dearest. Oh let’s not forget the creepy 51 year old dude that tried to hit on us. Saying girls need to have great hair and pretty pearls. That’s all a guy looks for. WTH!
Like seriously dude, you are 51! A wife at home with so many kids. Argh.
But nevertheless, it was fun. Finally hit The Library. I must say it’s totally over-rated. Sardine pack, though we had seats. It’s just not to my liking. Too many people. Oh yes, Johanna was right. There’s no freaking hot, cute guys left in KL! It was such a let down, no hotties to go feast our eyes on. Shish.
It’s a holiday tomorrow. I can wake up late. Yeay. But then again, I’ve to work. Charity event. Not just that, I’ve an engagement to attend and perhaps partying that night as well. Saturday’s a working day. Can I pull it off yo? I hardly doubt it. Til tomorrow comes. Nights!

This baby will be mine soon. I really wanted ankle boots. But I don’t think it would be that great to be worn in Malaysia. Plus I’ve already got a pair of Oxfords. So this sexy number is going to be mine. Happy? Indeed I am. Such a great steal.
Something To Ponder On
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”
