Mooncake Festival

Mooncake Festival is here again.. This year somehow, there seems to be lesser 'mooncake festival' excitement in the air. In the past, esp when I was still little, I remembered that there were loads of lanterns on sale in most of the shops...Lanterns of all sort of size and shapes and patterns. But these days, sad enough to say, barely were there shops selling lanterns. Those lanterns used in my days, with cartoon characters are no longer seen these days. Lanterns also got modernization, it's been upgraded to those battery operated and those which has music. It's only either those battery operated lantern, or the paper one. Don't see much of the old type of lantern made of transparent coloured paper with cartoon characters.

I've spend my mooncake festival day very interestingly. Day time was spent with my sis and mom shopping. After doing grocery shopping, we went shopping. Bought books, something to play with, and bought a dress which I just couldn't resisit not buying it cos I tot it looked nice. Including lunch also, all in it, I've spent close to RM300 - 400 in one day..including for my mom and sis too.

Evening time, we departed for Seremban to have dinner with my granny. My little cousins there are growing up fast, and they don't play with lanterns or candles anymore. I still remember few years back, we used to light up my granny's whole porch with candles or hanging the lantern there. Not tonight though, but nevertherless Me, my sis, and my cousin still carried the lantern and walked 1 round nearby the hse and came back.

Not much of the festive mood in the air. But nevertherless when we got back to PJ, to my delight I saw some of the houses in my neighboorhood's porch nicely and brightly lit up with candles and lanterns hanging around. It's just nice to look at.

It's so nice if we could play with lanterns and candles again.... Regret that I didn't do it. Anyway, feeling tired to do so now also.

Sick with work

I shall summarize what has been going on for the past week in this blog. In short to say, I'm beginning to feel unhappy with my job. I've gotten it from people sending emails to the whole wide world indirecting saying I didn't do my job properly. I've got people almost shouting at me for not following up my work. So many others complain about my job.

Yesterday I was down with fever, but yet went to work in the morning to finish up my job. By noon my job wasn't 100% complete, but it was near complete. I just emailed my portion out and leave it to others to finalize and touch up on it. Went and see doctor after that, took medicine, took MC hid myself, and slept the noon away. Funny enough, today went to work one of my senior colleague was concerned enough to come and ask how I was feeling. Even joked to my other supervisor no.2 not to drown me with too much work else I will just take MC suddenly and leave him stranded. From what I gathered, yesterday after I took my MC that left my supervisor no.1 stuck. According to my colleague sitting beside me, my supervisor no.1 had on a tired and annoyed look on her face the whole noon after I went to hide and sleep. I suppose that she must have complained to my senior colleague, that's why he made such statement. However, whatever it is...I don't really care. I really couldn't work yesterday noon as I was aching all over and I have all the rights in the world to take MC and go rest.

Anyway, Eeyore had been really sweet to me yesterday for taking care of me. He kept me company to see a doctor (which I probably won't have gone at all if I was alone). At one point, he fed me porridge, as though I don't have hands to eat myself. And at this point of time, I just wanna say that he is the best'lar. He had been awfully sweet and charming lately, letting me go my ways.

Wedding Date and Salsa

I've watched Wedding Data few days ago..actually it's 1 week ago. And well... it was a nice short romantic movie, but makes me wonder if in real life does things work that way? Meet a guy, and in few days time fall so deeply in love with him and get married. But the Michael Buble song, "Home" was fantastic though...

Another show I liked which I watched on TV few days ago also...cannot remember the title of the movie though. About a girl, who was already engaged and she joined Salsa lesson. Fell in love with the dance instructor and ran away from her wedding to join this salsa dance instructor. I liked the movie because of the Salsa dancing in it.. It had been fun taking salsa lessons and dancing, esp when your partner is good at leading you and you just got to follow his lead. But somehow, I enjoyed myself watching people dance salsa... But I guess it's different when it comes to I myself dancing to it. Guess I didn't like the idea that as a girl you always have to follow yr partner's lead. You won't know what he's gonna do next and you have to be prepared and quick enough to respond to his lead. I don't like the idea of not knowing what will happen next, and the idea that I have absolutely no control at all over the dance. I suppose it just rounds up to the conclusion that I just didn't like the idea of not being able to take control at all. It would be fun to have a partner to dance with also... if and only if we could take turns taking lead. haha

Tipsy Turvy

Tipsy Turvy... Don't know who actually reads my blog, But just wanna say thank you for all the wonderful friends I have around me.

Alot of things which I do not understand seems to be spinning around me. Amazing how after I have done some nasty things to an old buddy, he still forgives me and still is such a good buddy now to me. From what we have gone through, he has indeed taught me alot and I have learnt alot.

But no matter what he teaches me, it will never teach me how to understand a man. Something which I never seemed to learn also... which is to "never give 100% into a relationship". Stupid enough that I can give that sort of advise to other people, but I myself go do dum things.

Again and again, the same thing happens, the same cycle, the same process.. Sigh.. Awfully tired now. I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to give up, and I don't want to repeat the cycle anymore either. .Somehow after donating blood yesterday, I've started feeling dizzy. In addition to my insomnia of not being able to sleep last nite, I feel like a dead log right now.

I really appreciate my friends around me..there are always there for me no matter what.. My amazing dear buddy (if u are reading this, u'll know who u are). Thank u peitze and alex for keeping me company and somehow i feel more cheered up after hanging out wit you guys just now for mamak. Really wish all of us could live in our own virtual land, create our own lives and all..like playing SIMS.
