On getting old and bouncing back and needing lots of luck

I am getting old now.......I can really feel all of the 20+ years. Shoulder aching, eyes are also sore, headaches......sigh, I wanna be 18 once again. Been busy lately, yeah yeah yeah same old story, when am I not busy? I guess coz its just that I try to do so many things that I totally do not have the time to do anymore. I am on a 3 week break from work for something that is very important to me. This is even more stressful than working I tell you. Its not easy. Especially for me. So I need all the luck and best wishes in the world. Pray for me. Back to the getting old part, I like to divert a lot. I feel so old!!!!! Even though I have not hit my 30s....sad isn't it. Life seems to be passing me by. Coz each day just passes by so freaking fast. It feels like in a blink of an eye. There are so many things to be grateful for and yet there are so many things that I wished that I had skipped. But admittedly, life is not that bad after all. I have made some new friends, gotten re-acquai...

Lost cities of the world

I have always been fascinated by all the myths and mythologies ever since I was young. I like documentaries about the tombs of famous pharaohs, lost cities, mysteries (yeah call me a nerd) Have a read here about how technologies verify certain myths about lost cities. Recalling back to my childhood, I read a lot of books like the Hardy boy s, Nancy Drew and the Three Investigators . They had these 3 in 1 books that were sold in Bismi (a book shop which is also selling stationeries) in my hometown Seria. I wonder whether I still have those books or not. There were fun to read. I still remember that there is a hint of romance between Nancy Drew and one of the Hardy boys. I wanted very much to be an investigator back then. It seem so interesting all the things that they do. Well, I wanted to be a lot of things when I was young. I even wanted to be an archaeologists. Coz I wanted to be the one to discover tombs of important people and study their lives. I am curious about everything. I g...

Different look

Tied up all my hair today! How do I look? Soft brown eye shadows with glittery eye liner but the glitter can't be seen here coz my iPhone camera is not that good. (as someone who always remind me that my camera is only 3.2mp) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Blogging for the first time using iPad 2

So yeah have been enjoying my iPad 2.... Manage to find the screen protector for only B$15.00. but have been trying to find a case that tickles my fancy. Finally moved everything from my old house, the bad news is that although I had packed the fridge to the best that I could but my msmi told me just now on the phone that the fridge was dented. Heart pain to the max. My mami spent the night in Bandar last night. I miss her already. Brought her for foot spa and she loved it! My dad came to pick her up after he came back from Bandar. I miss them very much now although I spent the whole day with my mami. Here is a really blur pic of my parents while having dinner just now. My dad is like nearly blended into the dark background as he started fishing and thus his skin is very tanned. I had stayed in Bandar for more than 4 years now, going back occasionally during the odd weekend or so. I miss home. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Good news from Bi

Bi called me at 11:40am this morning and told me "I have got good news for you.....guess what?" Me: "You suddenly got a lot of money?" (yaya, I am materialistic) Bi: "No, its regarding something that you keep nagging me last night one" Me: "Huh? Coach Bags?" Bi: "Noooo.....guess again, you just told me last night one." Me: *thinking very hard........* "Erm diamond rings?" Bi: "NOOOOOOO, Ipad 2. You just nagged me last night saying that you want one. My bro is queuing at AV there liaw. Its only B$600+ nia" Me: "Ohhhhh.....Yeah Ipad 2 and I want the white colour one ah" So I have a new toy to play with tonight after all these packing! YIPEE Can hardly wait!

Finally and then lost again

Finally got my ring back from the Jeweler!!!! Courtesy of Mr Kelvin. Thanks for helping me to collect my ring. See how shiny it was? They plated white gold at the bottom of the ring coz it was turning a bit yellow from constant wear (for nearly 4 years liaw) But sadly, another small diamond has gone missing!!!!!! YIKES! And SIGH!!!!! I guess it's back to the jeweler. I miss it already. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

With makeup and without makeup

Had a good time with colleagues at DST 16th annual dinner tonite. As usual makeup at De'most saloon with makeup artist Moreen. She has not disappoint me yet. My hair was supposed to be curly but oh well the perils of having fine and too straight of a hair. And this is me with all makeup removed! I dun think that I look half bad without makeup except for that reddish cheeks and dark under eyes. What do you think? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Next step in life

I just got my big big cert last week from my dearest cooperation CPA. Please refer to me by the correct titles from now on, which is Jennifer Yen CPA (Aust) Muahahaha...... I feel extremely bored right now at this stage of my life. I need something to work towards to. But alas, I wont be able to fulfill my dreams as of now. Hopefully, with fingers crossed, I will be able to start next year.

Musings in my head

I have no idea how to put these thoughts in my head into words. Have you ever felt like you wanted, no....not wanted but needed to save you from something or someone. But truth be told, there is no one to rescue you. No matter how you fantasize about it. That's the thing, why would you feel that you needed to be rescued? We all need someone that we can rely on right? But what if there is no one that you cab rely on? Because in the end you will be alone lying in the coffin. Sad but true. Who would remember you? Who would miss you? Issit better to be alone? Is it a crime to be overweight? Why is everything judged based on looks. If I am ugly, does that mean that life should just pass me' by? Or maybe it did? Why does something gets you while other things dun? Are some of us really so blind that they are totally oblivious to other things? Why do we still want to travel on that road when we already know that road is a dead end. Why does some people do wrong things when they know i...

Days gone by

Some days are good, some days are not so good and then there are those that are down right bad. Today can be categorized as down right bad I guess. No amount of positiveness can bring it up to a not so good day.

ABUSERS!!!!!!

Some people are mean and then there are some people who are just plain evil. I think these 2 people are downright evil. Just look at the video . How can anyone do such things to a small defenseless dog? And now they have a new 'victim'. These dogs have a big capacity to love. They have nothing but unconditional love for their owners. Why do these 2 heartless people treat their dogs that way? I cannot finish watching the video. Tears are already forming in my eyes within the first minute. They are dogs, they are meant to walk on four legs. If God had wanted them to stand on their hind legs, he would have given them 2 legs instead. But I guess that the owners are not only lacking their hearts but their brain as well since I don't think that they have any ability to think. I read this story here . Help to sign the petition!!!! Prevent animal cruelty!!!!

Time to move on

Back logged! I received this email 4 days ago. An extract from the long winded email.... Dear Len Yee, Congratulations, our records indicate that you have now completed both the education and practical experience components of the CPA Program. By satisfying the requirements of the CPA Program and by holding an award recognised by CPA Australia, we are delighted to inform you that you have advanced to CPA status! HA!!!!! Like finally??! Actually, I just submitted In Dec 2010. The people there were quite efficient. Their website said that it will roughly take around 20 days to process but they got back to me within 2 weeks. So now I have a title already.......Jennifer Yen Len Yee, CPA......hahaha. Time to change namecards!

Ah Lian and Ah Beng

ok... this and this is hilarious!!!!! Seriously....all this while, I thought that ah lian means something like gangster wannabe. (well I was partly right) Someone sometimes call me ah lian coz of my bright hair colour. Hmmmm, now I think I resent that. Almost LOL in the office while reading this. P.S. I did not straighten my hair, its always been this straight. Believe it or not...

Renovations

We are moving in next Teusday, which is on the 11th. Its been like over a year already. At first I wasn't in the mood already. Like as if all the excitement is over already. (well it's been over a year) But now that the date is creeping around the corner, the excitement and the anxiety is here once again. Just a quick update on the progress. The almost done table, with the shelves nowhere in sight. Sigh! My almost done bay window seats.I am absolutely drooling over when I can just lie there and read. With those glorious natural lighting. One of my childhood dream is finally materializing! Imagine when the weather is rainy, I'll just lie there and look at the rain falling down. Our almost done bed. Look at the left side, the gap betwwen the bed and the window is very very extremely unsightly. So asked the furniture guy to custom build another open concept and simple shelf there. Our sealy mattress should be delivered tomorrow afternoon. The furniture guy promised us that eve...

Teenage angst

I am glad that I am no longer a teenager....with all the angst and drama. I wonder how did I ever get over all that. It must be so tiring. Everything seems to be blown out of proportion. I blame all these on those Hollywood movies where romance seem so perfect. Where there is always happily ever after.

Looong weekend

Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim friends and colleagues. Bi and me were on holiday from Fri till Mon. Just came back to work today but technically it's only half day work coz we attended the raya celebrations thus morning at the sports hall. (hopefully they will take down everything in time for badminton tomolo) feeling so lazy after 4 days of literally doing nothing. Bibineh's hair is looking better liaw. Bibineh is soooooo cute. He is always looking for me. Always running here and there just wanting to be with me. I love bibineh! Went to Miri last Sunday. Such a tiring trip. Dunno whether issit due to me being older or what but I can no longer shop like I used to. In addition, I was wearing flats that day. Gosh! Once I could have worn heels and walk around in them for like the whole day and I dun even feel tired at ALL! I bought 3 baju kurongs from Miri. The price is very reasonable! I wore the blue one to the function today expecting a lot of ppl to wear blue theme kurongs...
