YOE-ism

Final jots before my 2006 ends:

1. I’m sick of the people who are in and out in my rental house. I think that’s just a bad thing when you’re actually living with your landlord who owns too many friends and they just check in and out as if the house is a hotel. You can’t recognize them well as there are too many of them. You can’t figure out the timing they’re in because the door is rarely locked and they just in and out anytime they want. Want to talk about privacy? I’ve lost that since my first week in the house. So, the worst parts are, I can’t simply put my food in the fridge because it will soon be gone as one week passes by. I’ve lost one jar of peanut butter last week and last night, a big box of soybean drink had gone too! (Both were still full when I first left them). O yes, I can’t take it!

- I guess it’s a good thing to have a tenant who simply speaks when she needs to. I have to sustain my right. What I did last night was, I went to my landlord and asked her what was going on. She displayed a startled face! She just didn’t realize who had actually eaten all those. How can those people just simply eat things, which are not theirs? My stuffs are not meant for charity, hello?! I was still keeping my temper together, and I went by suggesting to her that maybe I should start labeling my stuff with “yoe”. She agreed, and I was contented. So, by next week, I will be keeping more stuff with labels as discussed, but if I ever noticed my stuffs have been consumed in any way again, I just know what to do next.

2. I’m clearing my major year-end project by 15^th January. The deadline is so near, yet many things are just not settled. I am excited it’s drawing near as I will be less tensed and less time is spent at the office but to get over with it, maybe couple of weekends from now will be cherished here at my workplace.

3. Resolution? Not much. I just want to start pursuing my Masters as soon as possible. Where and when will be determined later. But the program, yes, it’s here, resides peacefully at the back of my mind.

4. I’m a bit overjoyed for the new launching of Herbalife Facial products this coming 27^th January. I guess I must attend the function. It’s just going to be marvelous!

5. I think I need to do one final shopping before the Year-End-Sale ends! Better late than never!

Finally, a very happy new year to everyone, and those who are celebrating Raya Aidiladha, hopefully it will be cherished with full on penitence and moderation. Lately, quite few disasters assailed Malaysians, and hopefully with this Raya coming by, more mercies will be received from Him to keep us safe, tight together with our families and loved ones till the end. Amin.

I’ve been witnessing few weddings lately and somehow this thought gushes into my mind. It’s something worth thinking, although may sound too trivial to some.

When we had our moments back then somewhere in schools, and campuses, I reckoned friends were the most essential pieces that we were needed to treasure - such very good companions for our classes, our dining times, our tears and laughter. And to make it cornier, we promised each other to bound ourselves in this precious relationship forever.

However, just how intangible promises are, there is no way for us to keep it safe till the end. The relationship is somehow loosening its knot as each one of us is heading towards our personal careers, as well as personal prospects and plans.

And I guess it’s just simple; the friendship is there, but the intensity is diminishing bit by bit. Might be as well, if none is making the first move to revitalize the bond, it will just fade away without we’re even realizing it. Few factors such as distance, marriage, and working commitments are the evil powers, which persevere the faded solidarity.   

Again, I think it’s true, once we’re heading different ways in lives, friends are just like stars; there are too many of them and you just have to keep on looking up on them to make sure they’re really shining upon you. And if they’re not, I think there’s just no reason to care when they are too lazy to bother.

Many of you are still in daze of how on earth did I lose my weight.

I guess I have explained it to few, yet still missing out another few.

However, after toiling myself for 8 months, now I’m ready for a proclamation. J

Herbalife. One name, which stands 80%, aliened to me 8 months back.

It did bang my memory somewhere that I can’t recall back then, but I can’t figure out any information about it. The knowledge was totally zero.

At first, I was skeptical. Hence, I guess that is just my natural temperament, but deep within me, I was struggling to suppress the resilient voice telling me, “Go, and try that!”

Well, I was defeated by that voice, and I did go and gave it a try.

I didn’t really bother if I ever lost my weight or not, but the part which astonished me the most was the financial earning.

So, I guess, since the product was very new in Malaysia, a thought came into me, “maybe I can be among the first people making a great breakthrough of Herbalife in Malaysia.”

As I had the products with me for the first time, I consumed it impishly. I still took a lot of fatty food and broke rules here and there. But after a month, after the thought of money came into mind, I started to think twice.

“What good does it give to other people if it doesn’t seem to serve any good to myself?”

And after the second month, I tried to behave. From second month to another one, I’ve seen the great change in me. Few kilos had gone and I started to believe that “I really can lose my weight with this!!”

I moved forward ecstatically.

And now, from a girl who is weighed 81 kilos, I’ve turned out to be 62 kilos-lass.

I do have my aim of my targeted weight. And I’m still here, still going strong to that bull’s eye on my dartboard.

Bout the money thing, yes, it is worth it.

The more I’ve lost, the more trust I’ve gained from people. And I’m so glad today that I’ve finally helped a group of people who really trust me and the miracles of Herbalife.

I will stay stronger in Herbalife, making good health and wealth out of it. Many people have done it all over the world!

And if they can, why wouldn’t I?

Here are some images of this huge transformation.

And do believe it. J

Déjà vu; another production by Bruckheimer is simply tender and subtle in terms of its promotion. I haven’t seen its trailer anywhere and I didn’t even know who have been selected to be in the film.

As for my first try of Cineleisure Damansara, I’ve decided to hike on this another Bruckheimer’s production; Déjà vu. Just by looking at the casting; Denzel Washington, I could simply presume the movie is just going to delight me all over.

And again, I was right for reckoning that Washington must have been very persnickety in choosing film to act. The movie is indeed tricky, but the theme is simple although some sort of illogical elements are heavily utilized in the movie all the way.

I’m contented and that really matters. I wouldn’t want to elaborate more here as I’m not in any intention to create a movie review. Might as well, my point is simple; less promotion doesn’t mean the movie is dull.

Those people with great minds might want to give a shot. Just go, and you won’t regret.

Weeks nowadays run so fast that I barely feel it’s reaching end of the year 2006. And I don’t plan to create a gist of 2007 resolutions either as I believe that without any action taken, a dream is merely an illusion.

However, I just want to list out of all important things occurred around me lately so that they will always remembered as my chronicles reaching end of 2006.

I am not in any way an important person, but I guess I do stand as a crucial figure to those who serve the same altitude of importance to me. And as time passed by, just as too many events swiftly passed, and as my age climbs, it’s the more responsibilities I’m able to foresee. In other words, I am some kind of VIP to some, and without me, puny they would be.

Maybe I’m too scared to face them, to lead through the life of late 20’s which is not that faraway from me now.

This is the funny thing about time. It runs so fast yet the ordeals don’t manage to wash away that fast.

2006 brings a lot of meanings to me. It’s the year I’m a full-time employee to an organization. It’s the year I start to knit commitment in life with a man. It’s the year where I can foresee my life as a career woman who has to take care of a husband and kids. It’s the year I’ve realized the importance of money in life and how tough it is to survive without it. It’s the year I’ve actually figured out there are too many hassles in life compared to the good it would bring. And also, 2006 wakes me up from the dream that life is not merely about laughter, joys and felicities in life. There’s something more out there that you need to act as a fighter on the street for survival.

2006 also put my strength at test, when I start to lose more favourite things in life.

However, 2007 is just around the corner, so all I have to do to put more heat in life, to regain the lost happiness and zest and to feel complacent with my personal achievements.

A handsome plan must be constructed delicately. Few have crossed my mind, but I wouldn’t dare to circulate it publicly until the proper actions are taken.

Till then, wish me best of luck in 2007.
