Yo

I am in a relationship. I am. The guy is an interesting one of course, a colourful character; not from the outside maybe, but inside for sure. Of course, it's all very new. We have plenty to learn about each other. I like most of what I know so far. (hey, he's only human) I hope he feels the same way about me (also human, very human).

This time around, I will take it slow, take time to get to know him properly, especially as a good friend. I will be myself and not try to be someone I am not, just to please him. I will share my thoughts and feelings with him. I will take things as it comes; go with the flow. But I totally believe there is potential with him.

Until I come up with a proper nick, for now, I shall call him Yo. Kinda cool don't u think...Yo? :P

U better!

Happiness!

Two weeks into the new year, and boy has my life changed.. The most significant change I'd have to say is that I am no longer working at the News desk at Malay Mail. I'm now the latest addition to the Lifestyle section. No more long, boring meetings. Yay!


Perks of working at the Lifestyle desk:

1. The latest I may have to work is up to 10pm...
2. I get to interview interesting people at interesting locations...
3. I get cool free gifts!

I am really excited about it and am enjoying this 'new' job very much! With the new hours and less stress I plan to continue my exercise routine (that I've been missing for many months now)
and get fit as I learn as much as I can.

To sum it up in one word - Happiness!

Why?

Sometimes life presents u with an opportunity u can't say no to. No matter how irrational, no matter how impractical, u take that chance and live with the consequences. Sometimes these consequences are worth the risk. They are the stuff that makes memories. But after it is gone, all there is left is the emptiness and a longing for more.

It leaves u with the question - why can't there be more?

Another year...

As another year comes to an end, the same ol' question comes to mind. How would I rate this year?

I achieved a few things this year. I was looking for a better job, and I got one. I lost some weight (ok, so now it's back to normal, but that's another story), stuck to a diet that I never knew I could do. I took the plunge. I've learnt a lot over the past five months, am still learning. I've met new people. So taking all things into consideration, it's been a pretty good year.

Next year, my aim is to be more independent. Get my own car, house perhaps. Decide on what I want to do with my life. Listen more to my inner voice. Do things that will make me happy, happier. Love a little more, live a lot more. Make it a year of new attempts. Make things happen for myself. Enjoy the quiet moments. And the loud ones.

As cliche as it sounds, I wanna make each moment, or least each day, count.

Is there hope! Hope there is!

The truth is life is a bitch. You keep saving the right words for the boring, mundane but necessary stories that when it comes to the fun, non-work related bits, you are lost for words. Somehow I've got to get my act together. Somehow I've got to get past this. For there is more to life than work, although it doesn't seem like it these days.

There's holidays and the promise of the next holiday. There's an interesting guy, oh yes...there's music and the half bottle of white wine just for me. There is the anticipation of the future. There is reason to carry on. There are reasons for expression. There is hope. There will always be hope.
