Hey all!
It's coming to the end of April. May will greet us soon. Time flies. SUPER FAST. I remember when I was still in Colorado, during my senior year, this is the time where I got all hyped up about graduation. This is the time I did all the crazy stuffs I always wanted to do. This is also the time where I took some personal time to walk around the school area alone absorbing and memorizing all the scenery I'm going to miss today, two years after my graduation. But, that's not what I'm going to talk about in this entry. I want to talk about the boring stuffs happened during the fourth week of April 2013.
As usual, the boring stuffs, I was super busy with the work in the office. I feel like 24 hours a day is just not enough for someone to do the job or complete some tasks. I think I need more than that, speaking about greediness and poor time management. I still haven't finish my grade promotion project, and the deadline is coming soon, I need to get promoted by May. I'm like super buzzed right now. Aside from all the issues and services I need to do for clients, I also need to complete my grade project which is tough! I'm trying my best to do this. I don't deny, sometimes I feel like giving up, but then, it will be a waste of nine months since I started working there. So, I'm going to work really hard and show to everybody that I'm an engineer and I can definitely do this. Lately, I've been spending my Sundays in the office or getting a nice cup of Grande Hot Chocolate and working in Starbucks.
Enough about the boring working part, but not yet to the happy part. This week has been a super fast and really tiring week. I had some bad news coming in too, not specifically about me but about the people around me. First, one of my hang-out buddy is quitting his job due to poor ratings from the client. But I told him that "everything has its first time, take this as a lesson learnt, and move on". I hope he thinks about this properly before resigning. Me and him and three other Grade Eight engineers were very close to each other, we hang around often, like almost every day, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. So it's going to be quite sad, if one of us is leaving. And once a person starts to leave, there will be others who are going to follow his lead too. That has always been the case. Deep in my heart, I was praying so that he doesn't leave. Second, my friend's uncle just passed away, it was on Friday. Just on Thursday I was happily talking to my friend in the car, we were on our way home, back from the office, when she received the bad news from her mother. Her mother told her that her uncle was involved in a serious accident and that the doctor said, he don't stand a chance. My heart was shattered, I felt so sorry for her, in a blink of an eye, the mood turned very dark indeed. We were quietly praying in our heart for her uncle, I quietly sent her to the nearest LRT station so that she could get to the hospital. The last word I spoke to her is that "keep calm and keep on praying". I haven't seen her since that night, but I got the news that her uncle was in coma for several hours and he just couldn't make it, he passed away on Friday. I cried. Bad news never had good timing.
Enough of the sad news. Wow, I've never thought that this entry would be this dark. OK, really, enough of the dark stuffs, moving on to the bright side and happy ones. One of the perks of this week is that I got to meet some people I haven't met in years. The last time I met them was probably 5 years ago, they were my friends in pre-college school. Nana and Wani, it was very random. I met Wani on Friday morning at San Francisco Coffee Shop in my office building. It seemed like she has a meeting with a client. We got to sit and talk with each other for like 15 minutes before I need to rush to my office. Glad that we exchanged contact details, it is always great to broaden your network especially when you are a career woman. Then I met Nana on the sidewalk for like 5 minutes on Friday afternoon, I feel bad because I need to rush to see one of my clients. I wished I had more time to talk to her, she has always been one of my favorite person during my pre-college years. After that I met my college buddies, Amir, Kimah and her fiance. We had a great dinner where we talk about some crazy lifestyle Amir had, and also about Kimah's engagement, it was really nice to catch up things with these awesome people. I can't wait to attend Kimah's wedding on December this year, it's gonna be super awesome!
And yeah, not to forget, I finally meet my favorite junior in college, Edwin. We worked for the same company but I haven't seen him for 4 months due to his training in Australia. I kinda miss him, we used to have lunch or dinner together. He is so SKINNY now after he got back from the rig, I'm jealous. And during my college years, he has always been really helpful towards me. It's really nice to catch things up with him too. He always makes me laugh, that's the fun thing about him, he has the ability to make me smile, laugh and not think about the bad stuffs. Thanks for the great time Edwin! Let's do this more often.
With all these bad and good things happened, I realized that, this is the circle of life. Sometimes you're at the top, and sometimes you'll be down the hill. But it's OK, just keep moving on. What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. On a happy note, I did some shopping for myself, had some good foods and hang out with my favorite people during the weekends.
It's close to 2AM in Malaysia. I need to sleep now, so that I could wake up tomorrow and work on my Project. How sad, tomorrow is Sunday, who works on Sunday anyway!? Yes, that would be me. Hope everyone had a fun weekend :)

- Present. Thank you :) -
- Had been craving for Italian foods for a week.
So I had chicken meatballs spaghetti for lunch today -
- Bought myself a super comfy cute shoes -
Went all the way to Setia City Mall to shop which is like half an hour away from Kuala Lumpur if you're using the expressway. Lucky my friend was driving. I could use some time to sleep in the car , on the way to the Mall. After we came back from the Mall, we straight away went to this food market or 'Pasar Malam' as you Malaysians called it, to buy foods for dinner. You'll never have 'Pasar Malam' anywhere else in the world, it's definitely one of the perks of living in Malaysia.
