HARLO 2012

Bye 2011, Hi 2012!!!

2011 has been a fruitful year for me....i've learnt so much through 1 year of working...things i couldn't have learn in 16 years of studies.

i did not really have a new year resolution for 2011...all because i was an unfocused, undetermined new graduate at the end of 2010. But by the end of 2011, i knew what i wanted in my personal life, career and future. so here goes...

1. To have more FOCUS in work. Although my work is kinda flexible in the sense that u can do whatever u like as long as u complete all your work and hit your KPIs, it definitely requires lots and lots of discipline. Something that i think i lack of in 2011. Sure, I was able to do well in work and in that process earn quite well =P....but still, i know that i did not put my 100% in it. SO FOR 2012, I WOULD GIVE 120% IN MY CAREER!!!

2. Strive for career advancement. i got the recognition i deserve when GM followed me out for fieldwork (definitely the scariest moment of my life....although he intimidates the hell out of me, a hands on GM is somewhat better than other GMs who sits in the office all day long). Identifying me as someone to look out for to my ABM & NSM is 1 step closer to my long term career plans. NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ANOTHER STEP CLOSER...

3. Financial planning. With a large chunk of monthly salary going off to parents, insurance, car loan, house loan and credit cards payment, i would have to be more prudent in my savings. Happy to say i've done quite well in 2011. MUST CONTINUE TO SAVE MORE IN 2012!!!

4. Start paying my student loan. I'm so embarassed to admit that i have not been paying my RM40k debt in 2011. MUST START PAYING at least RM12k/year and settle off student loan by 2015 or I'll be in debt till im old!!!

5. FURTHER STUDIES = MBA by end of 2012!!!

6. EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!!! need i say more?....MUST DRAG SHENG ALONG COZ HE'S GETTING FATTER AS WELL!!!

7. Wow, Sheng and I are going into our 5th year now...time really does fly. =) and every single moment in the last 5 years was amazing...to others, when u r already in a 5-year relationship, u would hv probably met with the parents, grandparents, extended families etc. But not in our case...yes, we've met each others' parents...but just short meetings n never for dinner or anything significant. Same goes to extended families, some knew that we are in a relationship, some do not hv a clue at all. Mostly because we prefer living in our own world and never like people asking us too many questions (think of ur own personal situation in family gatherings, weddings, CNY, and times that by 100x o.O). So, for 2012, should we make an effort to branch out and explore the possibilities of meeting the families??? ....we'll see how it goes. CNY is less than a month away...

8. MORE HOLIDAYS!!!! ya, a lil' against resolution #3 (where i'm supposed to save more $$$). But i believe all work n no play...will not make me a dull person, it'll only make me CRAAZEEEE!!! Sheng and I started off the holiday thing quite successfully in 2011, where we paid our own way to HONG KONG!!! before that, it was either KL or Genting (meh!)...

i hate blogging except when i feel like expressing something without anyone really understanding what i'm actually talking about....it's a crazy habit of mine coz i really want to keep my thoughts private but can't help but to write it out....

so.................


RANDOM POST ALERT!!!!
...........
.......
....
..
.

it's weird....but i can't help but to feel flattered by it....

it happened last year, and it happened this year....

or maybe i'm just too perasan of myself....

=="

on another note, i saw a rainbow today after an exhausting 7-hour lab session.....made me smile... rainbows have a weird effect on me =)

Num 109

i'm having my last paper tomorrow and i'm not in the mood to study anymore =="

reason?

scroll down to the bottom of my blog n u'll know!

it's our 3rd ANNIVERSARY!!! =)

time really flies, and it has already been 3 years......doesn't feel like 3 years though. i remembered when i entered into UTAR, we had only begun to 'date officially' for about 7 months..and as a new couple in the early stage, u know la....all lovey-dovey and the i'm-gonna-miss u-dun-wanna-leave-u thing.....

3 years later, it's still the same thing...and i'm about to graduate in abt 4 months....hahahaha ==" but we've adapted so well to the LDR. we c each other once every 3 weeks and if it's longer than that, he'll make an effort to come down to kampar.....delivering McD of course =P

i can foresee that final (next) sem is gonna be hard for us, with me doing fyp thesis....but it helps since he now owns a laptop and we get to virtually see each other every night. whatever la, we can make it through.....=)

if i go on writing abt how awesome he is, this post is never gonna end and i need to study NOW!! so yeah, he's 'almost' perfect with a few flaws....who doesn't right?

yea, silly picture....u could almost c my tonsils....but i love it coz that's how we act most of the time...=)

p.s: good luck to the Malaysian team....against Denmark wor later =="

Num 107

my 23rd birthday fell on the study week....it was actually a blessing having my bday during the study week unlike the previous two years where i was having papers on the 29th....=)


sheng wanted to suprise me by coming down to kampar....but somehow i figured it out earlier and forced the secret out of him....lolz....he then complained that i'm so un-romantic...so true =P....i'm too clever to be fooled...or in other words, i'm no fun >.<

i don't actually like taking pictures...but it's my day so whatever la.....=.="

my pressie from him...such a waste of money but whatever la, it's nice ma hor?? =.=" he did gave me a children's t-shirt =.=" coz he said the design was nice...like wtf, the round-neck collar was so high i could barely breathe.....the last pic on the right is the reason y i don't like taking pictures....whatever la hor, it's a rare chance for u to admire my ugliness....and make u feel good abt urself =D

anyways...to UTAR students reading this, GOOD LUCK IN UR FINALS!!!!!

and to my other graduating friends (i.e. SGGS girls =D )....CONGRATS!!!!!! i have 5 more months to suffer before joining u guys...

Num 103

we're so different yet we're the same in so many ways =="

u make me laugh, u make cry....i can never stay mad at u for more than an hour....coz u'll always find a way to make me smile =)

it's amazing how we can just talk for more than 3 hours without realizing it....

that's y u r the best...the only person i can really be myself with...

c u soon =)

~ilyss~

argrhhhhhhhhh.....screw my blog la...........make life difficult nia.... a few things to ponder abt before i continue studying for my mid-term tmr....

i hate to choose......... sometimes some things are best being left unsaid.....n some things are best being left unheard...wat u don't know won't kill u......unless a murderer wants to kill u la.....then it would be best for u to know it 1st.... hahaha =D

haiz...mood swings n pms not good for mental health la ........c wat it has done to me?? i merepek teruk-teruk ...........let's c some rainbows
