I spent 4 hours sleeping in the late afternoon till early evening today, and now.. now I’m still wide awake when I’m supposed to be sleeping! I have to leave early for work tomorrow, simply because the traffic jam is usually so bad on Mondays, and with some people coming back from their long holidays and topped with 1st day of school for children, it is to be expected that the traffic will be even worst if I leave for work the same time as I usually do..
So right now, I’m watching Miami Ink Best Tatts on Astro’s Channel 707, which made me thinking. You know all those cute rubber stamps with cartoon icons for kids being sold in stores? Isn’t it nice if there’s something like that, but with mean designs so that one can just use it to stamp on the skin and have a temporary tattoo instead of the stickers? LOL! But then again, some people like cute tattoos, so maybe those kids’ rubber stamps can be used anyway ….
Kat Von D. Those who watches Miami Ink (when she was with them) and LA Ink are sure going to love her artwork.
It’s already past midnight now, and the Miami Ink show is over too.. what now? If I don’t go to bed soon, it’s sure going to be hell waking up early in the morning.. and I’d be a walking zombie at work too… ah geez, enough rambling.. I might as well start counting till I fall asleep! 
Nite nite everyone… have a great week ahead!

While most dedicated bloggers posted their first post on day 1 to greet the new year 2009, it took me 4 days to do so! And it has to be on Sunday. Why? Because a lot has happened in the past 3 days..
On the 1st January, I spent most of the time sleeping the day away and then rushed to get a birthday cake for my Mom as it was her birthday 
Once I got home, since my mom was fast asleep in front of the TV, I decided it was time to clean up the mess from the small BBQ party we had the night before. Thank you to all my dear friends for coming over to greet the new year with us!! It was worth the time I spent standing in the kitchen, with water rushing out from the faucets to clean up the dishes! Haha!
Satay, chicken wings, prawns were on the bbq grill. We totally forgot about the chicken franks (hotdogs) since there were too much food already!
We got Mom to cut her birthday cake in the evening and then spent the night browsing through my Facebook account that I abandoned for quite some time due to the unavailability of internet connection.
Happy birthday, Mom! We love you so much! Muuahhh…!!!
The 2nd day of the year went by as a blur at work and as for yesterday, well I rather not talk about it as it was a sad day for us at work. Not to mention all the weird things I experienced but that is for some other stories.
I hope this year will be a better year, especially financially-wise. I have a few plans for this year, but these plans needs a large amount of money One way to achieve this is, less shopping for clothes and shoes for me this year! Wish me luck!

On 6th June 2008, I was tagged by Shemah on personal beauty secrets, and again on 9th June 2008 by Carol. Yes, it is a very long overdue tag, but like I said before, I try to do all the tags I was tagged with, it’s just a matter of WHEN I do it *LOL*
So here goes my beauty regime, so to speak 
My foundation: Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse - I like the texture, but in truth, I rarely do wear foundation, just my moisturises
My blush: I have a few Avon blushers, Maybelline and L’oreal mineral blusher
My lipstick: Aha.. it’s gotta be Maybelline’s lipsticks
My essential beauty product: Eyebrow liner - don’t care about the brand; as long as it’s a brand that I can trust
My favourite make up product: Maybelline Black Mascara - changing every now and then though
My perfume: Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean, DKNY Be Delicious and CK Contradiction
My current favourite!
My nails: I keep my nails short and unpolished almost all the time
Three products to bring on a deserted island: Definitely sunscreen, a lip balm with SPF 50+ and aftersun lotion!
My feet: Anything comfortable - but if you mean the product that I use on my feet, none really…
My hands: Nivea & Johnson’s Baby Lotion
Women I admire for their beauty: I like to see Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, anybody with flawless skin and natural beauty
Women with the best sense of style: No idea *LOL*
My ultimate dream: Flawless skin
My favourite fashion publication: None, I’m more into gadgets, remember? *chuckles*
Ok, it’s done! I’m not going to tag anyone this time, more over this is a long overdue tag, most people that I know have done this anyway LOL!

Since the year 2008 is almost ending and soon will be welcoming the year 2009, I guess it’s a good time to do some self-reflection. In fact I’ve been doing this for the past few days, and looking at all the photos on my big lcd monitor at work helps me to see things a little bit clearly. Everything changes. Nothing remains the same.
Looking at those photos of happy moments today could make you smile, and tomorrow, looking the same photos could just grip your heart with sadness. You know that those happy moments were temporary, life goes on, and being alive have its ups and downs. You’ll be laughing merrily today, and tomorrow you could be weeping your heart out. That’s the cycle of life.
Yesterday you could be envious of the happy people around you, and today, you might just be grateful that you weren’t in their shoes. People tell you to be grateful of what you have, but sometimes things are not as what you see on the surface. There are some moments that you can be grateful of, and yet there are others that you just wish it didn’t happen.
What have I achieved this year? I couldn’t measure with a wish list since I don’t make any wish for this year. Or maybe I did but I just forgot about it. My life passes me by with blurry mental images. There’s only one thing that I’m sure about…. EVERYTHING CHANGES!
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
would it matter anyway?
would it change how you feel?
I am the mess you chose
the closet you can not close
The devil in you I suppose
‘cuz the wounds never heal
(Chorus)
But everything changes
if I could turn back the years
If you could learn to forgive me
then I could learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it’s real
(Chorus)
When it’s just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
through this part of the day
(Chorus)
Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
It’s more than just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
It wouldn’t matter anyway.
It wouldn’t change how you feel

28th December. The last Sunday of the year 2008. So what does today have in store for me? Doesn’t feel any different than all the past Sundays in this year, especially when feeling like the way I feel at the moment. It’s a blue Sunday instead of a Monday.
I don’t like being stuck in melancholy moments. It’s driving me insane and that definitely is not good for my blood pressure. Why? I cannot tell you why. I just feel this way. Women and their hormones! Though maybe some incidents around me does contribute to this.
A beautiful sight like this is just something that I need at the moment
So instead of mopping around the house, filling my mind with unpleasant thoughts, I plan to do some serious house cleaning today. The bed frames are dusty beyond believe since I was very busy lately that I didn’t spend much time in the house apart from flopping into bed once I got home.
I just hope the day will gets better…
