There is always tomorrow. I will start tomorrow. Today will be the last day. These phrases are so frequently used in my daily life, that it carries no meaning anymore. I use them frequently merely to 'encourage' myself to procrastinate.
For example, I wanted to self-learn a foreign language in order to help me secure my dream job but I never start. Why? Because I will do it tomorrow. I wanted to start exercising but never actually did. Why? Because I 'promise' to do it tomorrow. I am going to start revising for my exam but then again, it did not happen yet. Why? Because today will be the last day I indulge in my leisure activities. Tomorrow will be books, books and books only.
I tend to procrastinate so much, I realise I have wasted so much time in my life. Cooking up excuses for myself; planning my schedule for tomorrow but when tomorrow comes, nothing goes as planned. So yeah, I am going to try to actually start something. It's always the first step that's difficult. Once you take the first big step, everything will go accordingly.
It's the same with our environment. We are all so familiar and aware with 'Save Earth', 'Save our Planet', global-warming etc but did we really play our role as inhabitants of this planet? Did we really carry out our responsibility to try to 'prolong the life span of our planet'? Earth Hour is going to take place on 28th March 2009 at 8.30pm till 9.30 Malaysia time. All we need to do is to switch off our lights and try to minimise the consumptions of energy for an hour. Yet some people find it ridiculous and unnecessary. Yes, it might only be an hour and is definitely not enough to save the planet but after so many decades of taking our planet for granted, it is time for us to appreciate it. We, earthlings should take Earth Hour as a stepping stone to love our planet before it's too late.

Current Top 5
It's going to be 5am and I am still not asleep. Why? Because I want to make the most of my weekend since I work so hard on weekdays. Well, the truth is I had coffee at Coffee Bean in the evening and therefore I am still very much alert at this time. So why not I post my third consecutive entry for the night.
I was reading some random blogs and find that many people were tagged to list down fifteen male celebrities that they think are cute/hot. At the moment, I could not name 15 celebrities that I fancy. So I present to you my top 5 hot male celebrities.
1.
Wang Lee Hom ~ American born-Taiwan based singer/composer/producer (he was my first celebrity crush).
2.
Iker Casillas ~ Spain football team captain and goalkeeper / Real Madrid goalkeeper.
3.
Matt Dallas ~ Television actor (the tv series Kyle XY made him popular).
4.
Fu Hai Feng ~ China men's doubles badminton player (thinking he is hot does not mean I do not support my country's player).
5.
Travis Brorsen ~ Contestant in the reality show Greatest American Dog and the proud owner of Presley (the winner for that show).

What do you want in Life ?
It's already 3am but I am in the mood of blogging, therefore here I present my second entry for the day. Actually it's not so much a matter of mood, I had to always post entries late at night because I prefer to blog discreetly (which explains why my blog is photograph-free) and prefer to write only when my family members are asleep. Besides, I believe I can write better with the quietness and peacefulness of the night.
Lets get to the main topic! I feel very grateful and happy with my life. I feel blessed to have understanding, caring and supportive family members. I am also honoured to fill my weekends with lunch and dinner dates with different group of friends. I felt that everyone moment of my life is meaningful being surrounded by wonderful people. I used to be a shy and quiet girl in high school and chose to change for the better since I started college. I don't go clubbing as I don't fancy night life but just chatting with great people over a nice meal always make my day.
As for working life, I sort of enjoy it although Monday morning blues is a norm for me and my Mondays always kick-start with "I dislike my job. I am going to jobstreet to hunt for a more interesting and better paying job" but at the end of the day, that thought usually ward off. I dread Tuesdays too because I have to rush to class right after work and that means it will be a really long and tiring day for me.
I had given up my course for quite a while and recently decided to pursue it again, but it was a decision not solely made by me. I was sort of forced to continue this field of studies which I seriously have lose interest. At the age of twenty plus, I finally realise that my ambition is to be a cabin crew. Some people might laugh and look down on this job because it requires simple qualification and you don't have to invest much money to pursue this ambition. Plus, some people have the mindset that cabin crews and pilots are big flirts. I don't actually care what people think and say because it is my life and only I can live my life. My biggest dream in life is to see the world and meet people from all walks of life, and this occupation can make my dream a reality.
With the world economy crisis and political chaos in Malaysia, experts say that it is best to invest in education (learn something new, sign up for a new course, upgrade yourself) because it guarantees a better future but I choose to differ. I have the intention to stop my course of studies because I don't plan to work in this field for the rest of my life. Since I don't plan to go far in this field, why should I 'waste' money in this course? Plus I still have a long way to graduation. This decision will definitely shock and disappoint my parents and I am in a dilemma now.

This blog is still Alive
Yoo hoo!!.....This blog is still alive! It has been abandoned for quite a while but yes, it's still 'alive'! I had been a busy bee since the beginning of year 2009 and I sort of enjoy it. The past months were spent juggling over-time at work, ever-so-boring studies and social life. There is so much to talk about, I don't know where to start....
Perhaps we should start with Chinese New Year. The ox year started off with a blast with my close-knitted family members having a sumptuous reunion dinner. On the first day of the lunar year, my parents invited friends and colleagues to our open house. My cookies was one of the hot favourites with the guest and I was really proud of it. I enjoyed helping around and playing host although I was totally exhausted at the end of the day. On the next day, we headed south to my maternal grandmother's house at Gopeng (a small town in Perak). I spent a couple of days there indulging in more delicacies and tossing 'yee sang'. It was a very special gathering this year as all my cousins are back (from studies overseas and work) and it was a complete family reunion. I learned to play mahjong and gambled a little, playing blackjack and won.
Next up on the calendar was Valentine's Day. It was not a very special day for me as I am still single. However, when couples or even families and friends were spending quality time together on that day, I was working from home. There is a case that I had to complete over the weekend and hand in as soon as I get back to the office. Honestly, no matter how I spent that day, I think that that day is overrated. If you love your loved ones, everyday is Valentine's day. Why must you splurge and go for overpriced dinners and buy lavish gifts for your loved one only on that day? If you really love that someone, just telling him/her "I love you" is enough. Plus, you can always shower your loved one with gifts on ordinary days with no reasons but simply because you love him/her.
After Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, it was pretty routine for me juggling work and studies until last weekend. My maternal granduncle celebrated his 80th birthday, the 'tycoon-style'. His great grand nieces and nephews organised a large-scale birthday bash for him in a chinese restaurant complete with slide shows, speeches, entertainments and long list of about 140 guests. We were all dressed to the nines and were really happy with the dinner served and the programmes on that special evening. I felt really happy to be able to meet many relatives and friends of my mother for the first time.
I felt thankful to have such a wonderful head-start in year 2009 and am hoping more to come.
