To recollect and tell of past experiences or events.

hmm I like doing this once in a while. It is funny and joyful to look behind you and smile at the path you have taken. The viewpoint is always rewarding.

Now I have reached a point in my life that I have always wanted to be. Yet there is more to come. I want more. I know I can achieve more. I know the future stores a lot more for me. I can feel it deep in my heart that my journey in life is long and soo full.

Back in July 2005, mid summer in Birmingham. I started writing my thesis. I wrote this

I announce my marriage to my Thesis today!

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Today I start on my thesis.. nothing much just bloody stressed and wondering if i will ever survive it without anyone special in my life.. (I recently got single then.. hahahha I was really sad and lonely... duh)

My industrial supervisor yesterday said she is happy with my work so far. My academic supervisors are all also happy with it.. Great.. now I just need to start writing up.. but it feels so lonely without that special person next to you giving that special understanding… (oooh nooooo... hhahahahha so kesian)

hmm anyway.. I did update my CV today and gonna apply to do some post doc jobs around… and also started on my thesis.. basic templating in Word.. and sorting out my reference manager.. boring stuff… then Risa (my sexy skilled rich hairdresser/friend).. match maked me with a Hong kong guy called tony.. not my type.. but he was a recruitment guy so.. i got his email anyway just in case it resulted in a job.. hehehehe (i dont remember the guy anymore,, i did not even remember this)

anyhoo.. i am gonna go back to work.. and msning.. ppl.. heheheh :p


That was it.. very short two paragraph first blog of mine. :) Oh so sweet. Now I am at another point which I have to kickstart. The research side of my academic work. Don't get me wrong.. I have done some but I have to get this machine on full swing now.

Lots to do...

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

Happy Mother's Day!

To all Mothers. Happy Mother's day. I heard from the radio that there was a research done on how much a Mother should get paid if there was something like that. They should get 30K per year. That is for being a cook, house cleaner, carer and at times a psychologist. :) It is hard. I work but I also feel for the mothers who are homemakers. I salute you. I cared for my very sick son for one week at home and the work just does not end for mothers. I am not belittling working mothers for running away from the original responsibilities. I am one myself. I am just saying we should appreciate each other wherever we may be. A mother is a lover to the husband, a house cleaner, a laundry person, a cook, a dishwasher, a carer, a milk making machine, a seamstress, a first aider, a counselor, a giver of life, a DIY expert, and in our some places usually the Breadwinner. Thank you moms for having superhuman strength to do all these. If your kids are still young and nobody thought of giving you a...

Jovial and full of life

I thought about you recently and in my heart I was celebrating the fact that you had soo much of life even towards your old age. I never expected you to leave us so soon (00.45 am 11/08/08). I enjoyed your jovialness and your love for life. The way you would seize the day and just have as much fun as you wanted to. You were always the life of the party. You treated everyone of all walks of life with the same attitude. Happy and warm. You make people feel they are appreciated and loved. I know Penampang will miss your presence at every "Keramaian" (party). I miss you already. You remind me of my own Grandma, your Aunty as well. I miss my "Ina". She was strong and decisive. Always had a mind of her own. My Dad did mention that he thinks I have been made similiar to you and Ina. That is an honour I can not take for granted. You were both strong and believed in your ideas. The only difference was that you were more accessible to everyone at any time. I know you would no...
