What the future may hold…

Now it’s already 1 Feb! Counting the days to the end of my school experience.

These days I’m having bad mood due to lack of sleep. Zzz

Plan for at least the next 6-7 Mnths…

  • Part time, 3-6 month (Earn about SGD 6-10 per hour)
  • Tuition teacher (Earn about SGD 15-30 per hour)
  • Baby stuff business (At most I could get SGD 75 profit for selling all)
  • Jewelry-making business (can earn lots of money but it involves lots of time too – fine craftsmanship!)
  • Bakery ? Hehe.. Going to try making loaf again.. :D

Thought of the day : Nehemia sebagai orang yg dipercaya oleh raja n dia jadi bisa membangun kembali Yerusalem.

Jadi mikir2 tentang byk hal. Terutama yg terjadi barusan aja, gimana aku sebenernya agak males ketemu dgn beberapa orang karena beberapa hal tertentu.

Tapi jadi ngerasa berdosa jg karena itu mungkin circle of influenceku.

Aku ngerasa gak masuk di sana karena emang aku berbeda dari mereka. Ngomongpun ga nyambung, pikiran ga nyambung, cara pandang ga nyambung, nge-joke pun ga nyambung!

Namun, somehow kita selalu bersama dan aku selalu diajak melakukan apapun itu. Mulai dari hal2 yg ga berguna ky ngeliatin orang cheerleading di tempat parkir (ga ikutan she akhirnya)sampe hal2 yg bikin terharu, misalnya bikin surprise party/present.

So, should be thankful karena ada orang2 yg care…. :)

Trus jadi mikir2 jg di sini, keberadaanku yg sekarang di sekolah ini, di kerjaan yg agak2 gak jelas ini dan yg agak kurang makna. Sebenernya bisa juga make a difference to a particular person.

Thankful jg bisa kenal dia, bisa menghabiskan banyak waktu ngobrolin hal2 ga jelas, mulai dari gosip guru en murid2 yg nyebelin, makanan kantin yg beracun sampe hal yg serius kaya agama and kawin lari n how to do it. :)

Will treasure hari2 terakhir ini untuk lebih ngobrol sm dia n jg beberapa orang lainnya yg Tuhan uda tempatkan di sini untuk menghibur n dihibur (Yah, walaupun ky cuman 2,3 orang gitu yg mayan deket zZz – sisanya ok lah buat di senyum2in hehe).

Simplifying things

How to simplify our lives? Get rid of all your unnecessary things!

There are so many things at my house which I just want to keep in the storage for life. But to be honest, our space does not grow overtime, only our things do!

This will be a major thing for BOTH of us (I wish Qq would take part in it too :p). Will try to do this in the next 4 months, as there’re really2 a lot of things to be cleared out.

To do list :

Living room :

  • Sell grey sofa set :( This would be really hard for us to let go as it’s very2 nice, but very big)
  • Hack our own broken tile + put cement
  • Put parquet flooring (still not sure to buy the cheap one – from IKEA, or to do all flooring in our house)
  • Sell our white dinning table/switch with computer table.

Guest room :

  • Tidy up computer table (PIC : qq.. please only choose what we need)
  • Sell 1/ all of our shelves
  • Sell/give away most of our books ( to keep : Narnia set, Laskar pelangi, comic books, year book, books that r given by friends)
  • Wardrobe -> Sell? Turn out that most of our guest do not use the wardrobe
  • Throw/give away all the small2 things on the shelves, keep max one shoe box of these things

Our “Mechanic-shop” drawer TO KEEP (the ones that i don’t remember would not be so worth it to be thrown away) :

  • The IKEA set
  • 1 small set of screwdriver & 1 big set of screwdriver
  • Multiple Plugs
  • Hammer
  • The white wire thingy
  • The drill

Our own room(Wardrobe):

  • Give away clothes that we dont need.

Storeroom (Haiz.. the hardest part, as we want to keep all..) . TO KEEP :

  • Chosen bags
  • Air mattress + the pump
  • Bell Air stuffs
  • SOME cables that we actually use (e.g. cable extension)
  • SOME CDs/VDCs that we actually need/ will watch again in the future
  • SOME books that we would read again

Store room  TO SELL :

  • bb’s clothes
  • Power plug stuffs
  • souvenir bears
  • IKEA table that we never use..

Our broken drawer :

  • keep things to minimal, max 1 shoebox of  jewelry making stuffs
  • to sell/throw/give away extra BAGS that I don’t need

Others :

  • Scan & Throw pile of bills.
  • Psychology book, which ones to be kept?
  • Questionable : Boxes of things that we bought …. to throw now / later??

Kitchen (nothing much as I always use everything there):

  • Sell 1 fondue set (the one that we bought)
  • Sort the containers

And that’s my OUR 4 mth project.. okay?? :D

Hummingbird

I saw a blue humming bird during my walk home! :) It looks like one in above picture. It was not eating something, it’s just sitting on a branch of the tree. So serene. I am not sure whether this is a rare occasion  to see one in Singapore, but I’m truly amazed. Stopped by for few minutes to just take a closer look, and it’s like the whole universe just stopped when I gazed in awe. Quickly sms my Qq too. :) It’s my first time seeing something so blue and beautiful with wings. It felt like Pocahontas movie coming alive in 3D! Hehe..

I’m thankful that throughout the journey, I had little surprises popping by, something to be grateful of, something to think about. I don’t necessarily get answer for everything, but I’m happy that I could think it through…

Thank You for the motivation You give to me!

2nd week…

11 January

A fine day for me. CCA open house. I love angklung :)

Went home running / walking. It took 50 mins, longer than I expected. My exercise consisted of about 15 mins running and 35 mins walking slowly, and was ended by savouring 6 otah fish balls and banana chips. :D *not really an exercise!!! Oh no*

12 January

Angklung again. We played in the canteen during the recess. However, noone was interested to join. Boo hoo. During the first recess, we came down late due to problem in the snare drum. During the second recess, people are busy eating. :S Normal day for me. Felt so sleepy most of the time starting today!

13 January

Missed aerobic exercise (again!). Went to airport to send Ka Budi n Ka Lidya off. Threw a bomb to the school. There were lots of thinking involved. Not sure on what will I do next. I’m glad that I have lots of support from Qq & friends.

14 January

CCA again. I love coming to angklung practice. Today I got to know lots of them better, trying to memorised their names. :)

In one of the days, inspired by angkung practice, I thought of opening music school biz in Singapore. I really hope we can someday!! Music could heal one’s soul and playing it also has therapeutic effect.

15 January

One of my major thinking in one of these days – Why do people want children? Was discussing it with Andrew during breakfast. Good thing I was not really convinced by his argument on not to have kids at all. Although through him I also realise that many reasons that people give to have children are really selfish (even those religious reason such as : to fulfill MY calling to be a mother/father). Discussed it with qq in the afternoon (and he was bored because I kept asking the question that he claimed to have answer while I found the answer not satisfactory hehehe).

Decided that having a children is not something that we should or should not pursue, and we come up with this analogy.  It’s like wanting something, e.g. a new gadget). We would think that having it would be fun and will be helpful for us. However, it’s not really true. We would try and try to work hard to save money to buy it. Maybe the price keeps increasing that we take a long time to get enough money. Maybe it’s so cheap that we could get it right away. We put our effort, we also ask from the Lord to give us blessing to have this particular gadget. Some of us could buy this gadget – some of us will have one, some will have more than one. Some will not be able to purchase it at all. However, there are 2 ending to the story. One, we love our gadget and live happily ever after. Two, we regret having it and think that pursuing to have it is such a waste of time.

In the end, we agreed that having children is a blessing. We could want something, but to get it or not to get it, is beyond our power – it’s up to God, we human could only ask and try our best.

Still in topic of having baby n stuff, though it does not really fit to the context, I remember one particular scene from FRIENDS season 1, when Ross was going to have Ben. He said something like this : “I was so busy thinking about that I was going to have a baby that I forget the fact that the baby is going to have me!”

16 January

It was a fun day! Went to Pulau Ubin for the first time with Henry n Ririn. We cycled for about 3 hours okay! :D However I had a terrible experience with my butt. It’s still aching till now. :(

The trip was closed with eating seafood at the opposite restaurant, which has a yummy cod fish fusion dish (which cost 32 dollars for just 400gr of it!). Went to KKM with much pushing from Qq. Sometimes I felt out of place there. REALLY.

17 January

A fine day too. At church one thing that I learned is about RESPECT. We have to respect people regardless of who they are, what position they hold (still a bit sensitive on this issue hehe). Because when we respect someone, it’ll be easier to love them. :)

Qq played football and we ended up eating Alif again (I can’t remember when but one of those days we ate alif too) :D . Met Benny n Sianty there.

5 things I’m grateful of :

  • courage – to quit whatever I am doing now
  • Qq’s job :D due to reason no 1
  • lots of exercises I managed to do this week
  • the friends I have in school
  • Angklung CCA :)

2 things that need prayer :

  • Commitment to read Bible
  • What I’m going to do next?!?!?! (i have 3 choices on my hand now)

It has passed, so quickly.

On the 31st, we bid 2009 farewell at church. It’s then continued by playing wii and supper at Billy’s house with few others. Returned home at about 4am. Slept through until 12 pm. Cooked lunch and not-so-successful cakwe :( Got phone call from Julie and we went to Chillies for dinner. For me, meeting her was such a comfortable, homey experience that I did not realise that it’s been 1.5 years we haven’t seen each other! :)

2 January -

went to Church for practice for Sunday service. After that, we went shopping to metro at woodlands. Finally bought nice beltS for qq. :) At the evening, went to Fashel’s sister’s wedding celebration. The dinner was wonderful. I liked the lamb dish even though I really really hate lamb! It was really yummy.

3 January -

Church service. Weekly shopping with qq. :)

4 January -

First day of work for me. Experienced blessings and quite understood some purpose that God placed me in this position. Gained some new friends. Considering some changes in life, esp with what I’m going to do.

5 January -

So far so good!

6 January -

In personal life, there are some things / sins / terrible behavior that I need to sort out. Though until now, I can honestly say it’s very hard to clear this attitude. In a nutshell, I realised that I really like to see other people suffer and to pity them – it makes me feel good about myself. Sounds really bad right? In real life (maybe you could identify this with yourself too), it’s a part of me which really like to gossip about other people (and i just did few days ago with my friends. T.T). I should stop looking for gossip!

7 January -

Had weird dreams about some broken relationships back in life. I dreamt that these people said sorry to me for not initiating to talk to me again. I dreamt that I apologised too that I didn’t take the initiative. And we hugged a friendly hug. It was a wonderful dream. In the end, everyone was living happily ever after. Everything is sorted out nicely. No unclaimed baggage. I was quite disappointed that it was just a dream. :( I feel really difficult to get back to someone close who are not close to me anymore. It feels awkward for me, esp in the past, I have been rejected after initiating contact. It’s too hurtful for me. I also realised how difficult it is to say sorry or say hi to people who we have hurt or people who have hurt us. Why? Is the dream a sign that I should be thick skin and contact those people again?

8 January -

Stayed at home coz not feeling well. Helped me to save a lot of time in cleaning the house and preparing food for Family fellowship the next day. Did the next week shopping too, alone. Actually I spend only about 9 hours waking up so there’s not really much thinking for me ;P

9 January -

Wedding celebration of our church mate. The event was so happening and I liked the program :) . After that we went home, watched Desperate Housewife (it was quite touching and made me think a few things too) and then prepare things for F2. The F2 was about relationship. Looking back, I thanked God how the two of us met each other. It was a really long story and hopefully someday soon I could have the time to write about that here. :)

10 January -

It was a long day for me and I felt really weak and sleepy the whole day. :( watched some teenage drama movie with qq in the evening and it was so *duh* for me.. hehehe.. But the moral of the story is good :D At Church, we are reminded to keep our commitment, and it started by reading the Bible everyday. For me, it was a really sharp reminder, because for the past one year, I feel that I have been drifting away and not sure about everything. I seldom read Bible too. To be honest, I finished most of my Bible reading in Singapore, during Sec school & JC time, and after that, I feel like it’s a compulsory thing to do as a Christian. I don’t know how to start (again), but I feel that I don’t want to read the Bible only because I have the actually-I’m-lazy-but-I-have-to kind of attitude. Let see how it goes for the next week!

and that’s how my first week of the year!

5 things that I am grateful of :

  • Friends, new and old and fellowship with brother n sisters in Christ
  • Our simple home.
  • Our jobs.
  • The terrible experiences that I had last year.
  • Food that we could buy and we could cook nicely he he he.

3 things that need prayer :

  • bad bad gossipy me
  • expansion of our little family hehe..
  • what I really want to do ?!?!?!

(I really hope I could write smth like this every week!)

Irony

I just asked dear yesterday..

me : “Do I cook healthier food nowadays?”

q : (thinking) “Not really. Just that u are more organised.”

me : “Really? But I choose healthier ingredients now.. like olive oil, wholemeal flour, etc etc”

q : “Hm ok true. But it’s funny that u are getting fatter now (despite the food).”

:,(

Yes I am!! WHY?!?!?!?!?!

Maybe because less n less exercising and lots of sitting down and TOO MUCH of eating good (although healthy huhu) food? Now just doing once a week.. Tried to add more hours but… something always happen HEHEHE, even missed the one hr exercise..

So, now I’m planning exercise routine (which supposedly start during the holidays). expecting to tone up in 2 month time .

M : run/walk home from school (45 min)

W : aerobic class (1 hr)

F : run/walk home from school (45 min)

Sat/Sun : Body attack (1 hr) – Optional

Starting TODAY! :D
