Can I Buy Your Time?
I’m in need of time. Seriously, I wish the day had 26hours.
Almost every other day I do OT. Am exhausted. Yet I love my job. My job scope has expanded as I have fully taken over the Marketing Communication post. I now handle all PR job for all five or seven companies. I am not too sure on the number of companies. But one company alone, the main one is a handful.
I wish I have more me time. I miss the self pampering session. Going to the saloon. Getting a mani pedi. Sigh.
I come home late and then I have to focus on my other job, which is my online business. I have to go through my emails and pack them items. Then it’s time to sleep. So little time to do anything else. I rarely watch TV. To make up with the lost of time, I multitask. I dry my hair while watching my series on my laptop. I reply emails or sms from customer via my mobile phone. Sometimes I even have meals in front of the laptop 
I miss my friends too. Am always tired to go out. It’s either that or I am still at work. I need to learn to delegate my time. It’s not just that, I work on Saturdays too. Sometimes I even work on Sundays or public holidays.
I want more time. I need more time.
Can I buy your time?
People and Character
“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.”

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.”
A New Chapter
Tomorrow marks a new beginning for me. I hope it’s a good one. I have good vibes for this new place. This new environment. This new crowd.
It came to me by chance. God must have heard my prayers. See I told you Santa, I am a good girl. Hehe.
Wish me luck. I’ve got a lot to tell a few colourful pictures as well.
Oh yes, jujuwiwitata’s has been updated. Do visit. Click here.
Dear Santa
Dear Santa,
I have been a very good girl this year. I know that for a fact to be honest. I’ve been doing all my chores. Saying my prayers. Being an obedient child. A great sister. An awesome friend. Helping others and many more.
I’ve been so nice to others that I have been taken for granted more than once. I’ve been hurt too.
So please Santa, grant me three of my wishes.
1. A new shiny toy. It’ll keep me happy for a long time.
2. A holiday with my friends and family.
3. A token…of appreciation.
That’s not much right Santa? A girl would normally ask for oh so many things. But this is all I want for now.
Thank you.
xx

p/s: I don’t have a chimney so I’ll open my window just for you. I’ll bake you chocolate chip cookies and a nice warm mug of milk. I’ll even leave some of my favourite marshmallows for you.
Taking Up A New Role
Dad has left for Marang, Terengganu to teach the poor unemployed graduates Business Communications. He will be there for a month. Thus, I have stepped in his place. Meet the new father, Little J or as dad calls me Baby J.
Now, am on full time driver duties. Sending and picking up Aizat to school for his SPM papers. Picking up Chichi from school too. Dropping and picking up mum from the kindergarten and running around doing my errands. This means my days are going to start early and end late. Sigh.
Will miss you, Ayah. You have fun there. Go look for the answers that you need. Help those kids. You could also promote me there ;p Be safe. Eat well. Don’t get gastric. No more yapping with you in the car. Here’s a picture of us together on your birthday.
Big J & Baby J
Oh yes, jujuwiwitata’s will be updated tomorrow. Hopefully before 8pm. Do check it out yea. To visit click here.
I’ve learn a lot lately especially about girls of late. Self respect is not something they portray.
“I’ve got more respect for myself than you have for yourself and your boyfriend. How sad.”
Dramatic November

I had an early day, I promised Zaha that I would help him be a facilitator for a PO event. Liyana, Juan and I went to help. It was a lot of fun. Meeting new people from JWT and the PO too. It was just so cute watching all of the PO staff interacting and having fun in their first ever training. I was actually shocked to watch them. Never did expect them to be so eager. Participating in all the quizzes. What a sporting crowd. I should have taken pictures with Liyana my cute little doctor. But I totally forgot. I got home rather tired though it was a half day job. So, I slept my day off ;p

I took grams for her monthly eye check up. I was glad to know that her eye pressure has reduced. Finally, I was getting rather worried for her. Hehe. We had to wait so long for the check up as the doctor conveniently went for a tea break in between. Right after the appointment, I drove off in jiffy to pick up Aizat from school. We were all rather hungry. So I asked grams what she felt like eating and took her for a treat. She was so happy that she ate so much. Glad she had a good lunch. She spent more time at our place before going back to TTDI. I then continued with my weekly picture taking. So boring, I dread it at times. Haish.

Check out the cool date yo! Haha. So I managed to catch 11:11 to make a wish. Just for the sake of it honestly. I went to get some gifts for mum’s kindy kids. It was really fun to go into a kid’s store. So many colourful things to look at. I almost started buying unnecessary things for myself. Got myself a handphone socks. So colourful. Even Aizat wants it. So off we went home with all the purchases. I got myself an awesome envelope clutch.
Envelope Clutch
After doing all that I had my usual “nap”. Hehe. The weather was just too perfect to resist.
When I got up, then did I realize I had to finish editing my images. So I pushed myself and was a good girl to finish it all off til the wee hours.

Woke up at 8 to upload everything onto jujuwiwitata’s. Was so glad to get it done and over with. Blast out updates and headed out to the PO. So mum came home, helped her with the kids and then headed off to the supplier with mum and dad. I was already so so tired. I had to meet up with a couple of friends for tea. I postponed it til 6. On my way to KL, I noticed my car was making a lot of noise. But I totally ignored it. Suddenly a car flashed dad, we pulled to the side only to notice a bad ass flat tire. Sigh. We decided to change the wheels there, got out of the car, opened the boot and walaa. No toolbox. Thank you la my “friend” for borrowing and never returning it. Had to jump back into the car and drive as slow as a turtle to the nearest petrol kiosk. My god, talk about drama. Here you go drama overload.
I couldn’t help my dad and the nice pakcik to change the tyre because I was wearing a rather short white dress. Of all days ain’t it? Finally it was done. I was just so annoyed, angry, sad, mixed emotions. Couldn’t think of what to do. Thus, I drove off to get my tyre fixed. No such luck though. It was ripped. Wonder how that happened. Sigh. Had to fork out money to get new ones.
Rushed home, had a shower and got dressed to meet up with my fellow friends at OU. I really wanted to back out but in good faith I went. It was such a good thing I went. Had a lot of fun catching up and talking about various interesting mind boggling issues.

Friday the 13th, it’s Shazna’s birthday. Happy 24th babe!
I ran more of my errands today. My gf, Mot is back from her Euro trip as well. So happy. I was suppose to meet up with Mot and Liyana but I was knackered. So off to bed I went. =)

I was out with my mum. Doing some girly stuff and a little shopping. Had a good tea at Marche before heading out to OU yet again. There were so many people there. Little did I know, it was the Fly FM anniversary. That explains a lot ain’t it. Young kids were flocking here and there. Did a bit of window shopping and then it was time for dinner. It was a great day. Haven’t gone out in a while. Spending time with mum was fun.
15112009, Sunday
Was suppose to meet up with the girls at Palate Pallate, but a few minutes before I left home. Shazna called to cancel. Did we all get worked up over it? NO! Instead Liz, Liyana, Mot and I decided to still meet up. We were already dress up. Why let it go to waste? Liz was picking Liyana up while I was picking Mot up. Met up at pavillion. Had a simple dinner at the foodcourt because we wanted to utilise the table. We were in for a long chat. So yip yap yap yap we went for a whole 2-3 hours. Here’s a few pictures that we took. Not so great but it’ll do.

Tempted
Am so tempted to just send a little text that contains just two words. But am refraining myself. I don’t know why am holding back…maybe am scared.
