Dolled up

It's been over a year since I was really dolled up for an event (and spent unnecessary amounts of cash on it, sigh).

I recently attended Malaysia Property Awards (MPA) held in ShangriLa hotel, which is grand but not as grand as I've expected it to be (the hotel I mean). Perhaps my perception of 5 star hotel is really, really luxurious. I don't know to compare actually. Haha.

For the uninitiated, Malaysia Property Awards is akin to Oscars for the Property Industry. Yup, big event and it's splashed all over major newspapers.

Anyways. Pix!

Am setting my hair in a salon near my office, love going to this salon to cut, wash, do my hair. My stylist's name is Ivy and she is really very friendly.


The make-up artist putting in her magic on Eunice.

Noticed the difference in background? yeah, we shifted to my house to continue the makeup. Why? My contact lens wasn't delivered on time and we don't want to disturb the salon's business you see. I was really mad at the optician for not being able to deliver my contact lens on time. Sigh. My ugly side my revealed that day, of all days!


The make-up artist and her creations. Thanks Su Yin babe! We super love it a lot! and yes, we had fun :)

Eunice driving us to KL. Got stuck in a massive jam on federal highway and it doesn't help when it's pouring during peak hours. So, camwhore it is. Haha.

Yup. All dolled up.

The guests at the dinner. There were many people during the dinner and I was in the same room with the Sultan of Selangor! Haha *prouds*

We are sitted way behind at the back of the grand ballroom.

The leng chais of PM with a departmental director (in the middle) of a prestigious bank.

The writers who constantly squeeze out juices to churn out words for the mags.

yours truly.

The awesome guys that makes that whole PM fun!!


So, what's in store next year's MPA? ;)

you know what?

I want to change. Really. Physically, mentally and spiritually.

Physically: to be more fit and healthy. Ever since giving birth to baby G, my body felt an instant transformation from a 20-year-old body to a 90 year-old one. Need to get fit! and slim. hehe.

Mentally: To be more positive. To not get caught in the Tsunami of emotions. Want to live life because each day is a gift of life.

Spiritually: Just trying to get my dead spirit to wake up. Not to become another holy-moly person but to build a genuine relationship with God.

I want to be beautiful!

Insert Title

It has been a long, long time since I have last blog in a serious manner. A lot of things have taken a way my time and of course, Baby G and work is taking up most of my time which hardly left any time for myself. Well, time and time again my mom will always remind me to change my mentality because I am a mom, not a growing up teenager - which is true, (un)fortunately.

I have the serious urge to rant and rant and rant, just to get that depressive mood out of the way. I used to do it in a blog freely but now I have to monitor what I put here, in my very own blog because some people might just take it personally and then relationship turns sour. So, what's the point? Maybe I should start another blog where it is password-protected so only the privileged can enter. Haha. But come to think about it, who would want to read my blog la? People want to be entertained through blogs but here I am ranting and trying to make everyone depress. Right, if you find this post repulsive, then just type another address in the URL bar and hop onto another site where they can make you laugh. Go and be merry, with my blessing.

Rant#1

Yes, I have been ranting a lot lately. I have a lot of things to rant about, ever since my life turned upside down with so many uneventful events that has happened this year. My body doesn't seem to be taking the changes very well. I'm frequently falling sick and I'm starting to feel like an old lady with a severe problem of osteoporosis. My muscles are very tensed which I desperately need a good, good massage to ease those tensions.

The operation scar I had earlier to remove a cyst from my neck is causing pain sometimes. I am not sure whether it is a normal occurrence after every surgery. People have been advising me to put on the scar cream but the doctor advised against it. I have an ugly scar right across my neck now.

Rant #2
I feel like I'm unwanted anymore, in any way. I don't know. Anyhow, if I continue about this, sure a lot of people will try to make hasty conclusions and condemn me for it.

Rant#3
I still don't feel pretty nor beautiful even after living life for 24 years. I'm huge, fat and ugly - the three ultimate things that girls hate. I went even more out of shape after I have given birth to Baby G. I always feel depress everytime I think about it. Everytime I see friend's profile pics and other pictures in any social network, I will never fail to envy on how beautiful they have become ever since I last saw them. And me? pfft. Look at me la. Damn ugly b*tch.

Rant#4
I wanna rant abt someone but apparently it's not encouraged. So I shall hold my fingers.

Rant#5
I want to go out and have fun. Have some drinks with friends or hang out just to chat with them without any worry about going home. Now I can say bye bye to all these due to several reasons of which I can't reveal here either. And it's so freaking annoying!!

Rant#6
Financial stability. Ah. Who wouldn't want that eh? I have never feel so desperate in my whole life. I only left few ringgit in my pocket and I bought Baby G's milk on credit, which I really tried not to. Salary is not coming in as promised and I have to use the money for household expenses which is not enough in my current state.

And who is to blame? my f***king self and my F***king credit debts. No thanks to high-paying job lifestyle which I had as my first job. Stupid. I am so stupid and no thanks to me, my family suffers. Sometimes I really wish I can get a superbly high-paying job regardless of what job it is so I can get myself and my family out of debts. I am such a horrible person- Horrible wife, horrible daughter, horrible mother. How to be a good role for my son?! I might as well go kill myself. Simple.

Rant#7
For those who are curious, yes, my spiritual life has went down the pits probably unable to come up to breathe the fresh air again. She has withered and perhaps even dead. Faith and hope eludes me. I wish to connect with God again but it seems impossible at the moment.

Church does not sound very inviting anymore, especially when human minds corrupt the holy sanctuary of God with their own ideals and interpretation of what God wants in a church until it becomes too legalistic. Then, what's the point of having a church when all you do is impose your stupid ideals on people and not focusing on God? Double pfft.

And those who wanna judge me, go ahead. God will deal with you. See the log in your own eyes before you judge me, brother/sister. Go all holy-moly on me and I'll tell you to buzz off.

Christians disappoint me most of the time. God, let's not even go there. He does not seem to even care anymore. Enough said. My family suffered enough and all that we get is more shit getting thrown at us.

You know what. i should stop here. I'm getting all worked up. And it doesn't help with the fact that I have to work throughout the weekends. FML.

Too busy.

Hi.

For those who still checks in once in a while, I apologize for not keeping my blog updated as frequently as I should. Job has been keeping me really busy. And I'm still getting over the fact that I have lost Pepper, forever. So heartbreaking to see your beloved dying in your arms.

:(

I am seriously considering finding another job which is more stable. Even though I like this job, but it is sapping up my time like crazy. No time for family, no time even for myself. Even if I take a long holiday/leave, I would still have to work from home. I'm so tired. There are no incentives, no benefits, sometimes I wonder whether I'm an idiot to stay in this company for so long.

Oh wells. Back to working. Yes, on a sunday where I should be relaxing with my family, or just to have fun outside. Not hunch over the laptop and try to finish up an article.

Sigh. Depressing indeed. I need a life.

I wish

I wish I have the will power to do things that want to do and most importantly to accomplish them, successfully!

I'm aiming to lose some weight la, seriously. Lose my flabby tummy, get rid of my huge arm and thighs. I want to go exercise but somehow things do not work out as plan. I want people to say, "wow, that's one hot mama!" AHAHAHAHHA. Man, I'm dreaming and dreaming only.

MUST.LOSE.WEIGHT. Sigh.

Hope I can be financially independent, soon! At least get my own house la, right? Not too much to ask for. Oh well.

Gah. Just feel so darn useless now. Can't even support my family properly.

Broken

Rambling #1
Office got broken into. Robbers left a terrible mess for us to clean up. Stupid robbers. I saw my thumbdrive lying in the midst of the rubble and decided to leave it there for the police to inspect. Turns out, after the police left, my thumbdrive went missing as well. Stupid police. We can't trust no one nowadays, can we?

Rambling#2
Starting to scout around for potential wedding venues to have our wedding next year. Didn't realize it would be such a huge task to undertake. Man, I hope I can find a really good venue for the wedding. Wanna make it unique la. Don't want the conventional ones. Perhaps can think of Dewan Serbaguna, hahahaha.

Rambling#3
Tempted to take Astro la. Because ever since I stayed in Malacca and was exposed to Astro, I was hooked on Discovery Channel and National Geographic. So, still thinking whether should subscribe or not, considering my current financial status. Hm.

Rambling#4
I have no mood to work at all. Partly it's because of the flu that I'm having. Body aching, blocked/runny nose, cough, sore neck. Blurgh. I just feel so sick. :( I can't even kiss my baby because I'm sick!

Rambling#5
Just wondering why people can't make up their mind on the spot sometimes and have to drag super long before they make their decision. And who suffers? Me.

Ah. Can't take it anymore. I need rest.

I have loads of photos to upload but kinda lazy at the moment.

Marriage & Birthdays.

I received another email from my friend inviting me to attend her wedding in two weeks' time. 2009 is definitely a wedding year as a lot of my friends are tying the knot this year, me included. Haha. My ROM date is not bad, 9 June 2009. Not that I believe in the auspisciousness of dates but well, the date is nice, from my point of view. Haha.

Anyways.

I will be heading down to Malacca tomorrow with Hubby and Baby G - something which I don't want to using the good old faithful Proton Saga. It's so old I'm not sure whether it can survived the journey. Sigh. Oh wells, God will protect?

***

Brought Hubby to Marche to celebrate his birthday, which wasn't planned. I was hoping to have something more a la carte but since Marche is offering Ramadhan Buffet, so we say "why not?" Got out tickets and in we went into Marche, seeing loads of foods but actually it's more decorations than food. Not much variety compared to other buffets and the staff weren't as enthusiastic in serving their patrons and the food was so-so, except for their giant sausages. Haha. Most of their signature dishes weren't there such as their lamb shank. Shucks.

But we had a good time spending it together and talking and making fun of each other while we fill our tummies to the brim. Managed to persuade him to take a picture together with me. He really dislikes taking photos, and I"m not sure why.

So here's the one and only shot I got of him recently. Haha.

With Hubby dear in Marche.


Tonight, going gown-shopping with colleague. *woots*
