In a nutshell » Buzzing… http://choosingdestiny.org/blog Sat, 19 May 2012 10:19:20 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Restroom Etiquette http://choosingdestiny.org/blog/2012/05/06/restroom-etiquette/ http://choosingdestiny.org/blog/2012/05/06/restroom-etiquette/#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 01:59:06 +0000 Bee http://choosingdestiny.org/blog/?p=3806 Alas, the management updated the list of “Restroom Etiquette” which is pasted on the door of every cubicle. Ever since our team shifted to the upper level, I started to hate going to the ladies.

1. It stinks. There is a terrible stench of sewage that’s quite unbearable especially when you enter the cubicles.

2. To add on to the stench, I was terribly disgusted at how the ladies disposed their used tissues and all sorts around the bins, until photos were added to the “Restroom Etiquette” list, illustrating the comparison of a dirty cubicle and a clean one.

Finally on the last line of the list, it wrote, “Keep it clean like how you would treat it at home!” Being working adults, why do we still need to be reminded like that?

Whether it is intentionally or not, I’m not sure if that really pleasures you.

Supporting idols = fan wars?

On the 29th day into the new year, I fell down and had a bad abrasion on my knee.

And CNY is over. I’m gonna miss going out with my family for the whole day.

It has definitely been a fulfilling year, fortunately and somehow unfortunately, with good and bad things coming along the way. Not entirely bad though, at least I’ve learned from them. Looking forward to another exciting year, with lots of things to learn and accomplish.

Some quick recaps of 2011…

Most Memorable


Ruivin @ Serangoon countdown (blog post »)
The night that we went crazy just by looking at their interactions with each other.

 


Super Junior SS3 concert (blog post »)
The first ever K-pop concert I went to! Highly energetic dance, solid live singing and entertainment, how can you not love these guys?!

 


Taipei trip (blog post »)
Have always wanted to visit Taiwan since many years ago, and this was the fruit of half-a-year of my labour. LOL! I’m very glad that this trip made my parents happy, and they even plan to visit again next year! I CAN’T WAIT!

 


Star Awards
My best actress finally won Best Actress Award! Even as I’m typing this, I’m beaming with pride. :D

 


KL trip (blog post »)
“You know that day when we arrived…”
“No! It was only yesterday!”
The 2-day getaway trip which felt like a week. From Changi Airport in wee hours of the morning, to Sungei Wang, Times Square, Chinatown, and finally the 2-hour journey to the “pond”. Fond memories~ Cath Kidston, anyone?

 


Christmas
I’m not someone who celebrate Christmas, but the day this year was spent with BFFs! Dinner at Keppel Bay’s TCC, and gift exchange and stay over at Carribean. Despite saying that we were very sleepy at 3am, we still continued talking for almost 2 hours after lights out. That’s why I always enjoy our meet-ups & gatherings, because we can talk anything under the sun. ^^

 

 

Favourite Songs/Albums

孫燕姿 《是時候》
Yanzi’s comeback after 4 years! Another album of quality music.
“我是怎麽了 像被困住了 時間滿滿的 心卻空空的
有那麽一天 時間停止了 才發現原來心自由才能真的快樂”
That also sums up how I had been feeling about the year.

Olivia 《Romance》
A different genre of music this time, fans of the bossanova Olivia might not like this album, as it’s a little more pop and commercialized. I still find it enjoyable to listen, especially at night or on rainy days.

田馥甄 《My Love》
Again, an album that needs a few more spins for me to get used to the tracks inside. Love the attitude of the album!

 

 

Favourite TV Dramas/Programs


行醫
One of the better dramas in recent years (but Meta still ranks #1 in my heart).

 


We Got Married (Teukso Couple)
My current craze – Teukso couple! *fangirl moment* They are still feeling shy, but their efforts to make little things for each other are so sweet! I can loop the proposal during SS4 for 34291463294 times. Honestly, I will give them my blessings if they date for real, at least I feel that Teuk likes Kang Sora and she’s not fake. ^^

 

 

To sum it up, not exactly a happening year, because most of the time spent was on work, which I’m still pretty enjoying it. (Only complaint is that we shifted to a not-so-convenient place in another area of CBD.) I’m more independent on my job now, although I’m not a very creative person…still trying very hard to learn and practise as much as I can along the way.

Have not made any New Year resolutions for years, but there are things which I hope I can accomplish in the coming year, like drawing, more out-of-the-box thinking (screams “CREATIVITY!!!“), and mastering basic Korean conversations.

Here’s wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Stay healthy and happy! :D

一個人的心血就這樣被遺忘了
現在我真的感受到“被拆”的感覺

我沒有想要求多些什麼
我只希望你能尊重曾經／現在於你合作的“朋友”

I should be really thankful for this long weekend, good time to recharge before the months of battle ahead. Yeah, it’s time of the year again…while most people are busy preparing for the festive season and holidays, we are rushing to meet deadlines. But I’m not complaining! ^^

Have been spending time drawing, learning HTML5/CSS3, and Korean! Looking forward to the trip next year and I hope I will be able to converse in basic Korean by then. 한국어 재미 있어요! ㅋㅋㅋ…

I am not a troubleshooter, I wish I have quick brains.

Just ranting.

There used to be this billboard at the MRT station where I would pass by (too timely for the end of each day of work):

“It doesn’t matter how slow you go, as long as you don’t stop.” – Confucius

Yes, yes, keep calm, prioritize, and get going.

When you are older, you wished you were young.

When you were free, you wished you were busier.
When you are busy, you wished you were freer.

When you were earning less, you thought you were rich.
When you are earning more, you think it’s not enough.

When you listened to electropop, you wished you could listen to more bossanova.

When you had this, you wished you have more of that.
When you have that, you wished you have more of this instead.

Can there ever be a perfect balance at any point of your life?

Today is another reminder to slow down my pace, before I really fall down.
