On Cloud 9

....... am I? Pondering on these few things that cross my mind...and wonder which one really is a life fulfillment. Even if it doesn't, there's nothing to lose in imagining that everything is fine and life's a many splendoured thing.

 It would really fulfill me when I......

hear every beat of my heart

feel the rhythmic flow of my blood

fantasize life's an eternity

mesmerize in the serenity of nature

taste the sweetness of all things

and amazed

by all wonders beyond compare

I might not have the strength to ........

bear all the burden of life

resist the temptation of evil

withstand the severe torment of pressure

face obstacles without fear of the unknown

foresee what lies ahead

But I'm thankful enough to ........

be blessed, love and be loved

appreciate the bridges of friendship

put what's right over wrong

unravel the moments of truth

lend a hand to those who need it most

extend little favour and bring a big smile on another's face

It's a wonderful feeling .......

sharing life with those

who love me the way I am

who accept my flaws and strength

who unselfishly let a shoulder to cry on

and

 by my side through thick and thin

*Every single word comes from the sentimental side of me,

On A Lighter Note

Didn't update my blog till today due to my recent bereavement. Now, I'm back on my feet again.

My blog is one year old this August. How time flies! I feel I need a change, so on Thursday I signed up at bloggers.com. It's high time I meet world bloggers and be noticed among the millions. Signing up at bloggers.com has given me the opportunity to get to know a few people from different backgrounds. And at the same time, I do get visitors from different parts of the world. It isn't a remarkable achievement so far but it means a lot to me as a newcomer to blogsphere.

                     Welcome to my blog!

Recalling on how I started this blog, initially it was a rough start for there's so much to learn. I must admit, I made lots of mistakes on the first day and later, really had a good laugh over it. The biggest mistake was my setting which was really awful! I regard it as going through a process of trial and error. Gradually, things run smoothly. There's an urge in me to learn more about blogging, so I keep myself busy surfing the net for related topics and also logging in to other blogs and see how they are organised. Learning is an on going process and the knowledge and tips I get have helped me a lot to improve my blog. There's still room for more improvement though.

At one stage, I 'lost' the password of my blog, thus refraining me from updating my blog for months. It's the lapse of memory! LOL. I'm trying my best to make this blog a comfortable place to visit. A place to put my thoughts in words, to pour out my grievances and to share light and happy moments with anyone who cares to drop by.

To everyone of you and to those at bloggers.com who have voted for me and who have become my friends and followers, I'd like to say

Thank you!

Burning The Midnight Oil...

...it used to be when I was studying for my bachelor's degree... had to spend so much time on my assignments, in particular, to meet the deadlines, so to say. Or when exam's just round the corner.

Now, it's not that often that I have to stay up late but there are times when I feel that I've got to get things done. As promised in the previous entry, the design of my blog have been fixed. :) You might wonder why do I have to stay up this late when I have to wake up early to start another new day just hours from now.  First and foremost, at this minute I find that I don't have to bother much about other things cos everyone else had hit the sack. Therefore, I can focus on what's needed to improve my blog. There's very little distractions apart from the sound of the air-conditioner in my room. Secondly, I don't have to scratch much of my head to get ideas on what to write. There's of course a limitation but I feel more relaxed to express whatever I wanna say.

Let me share this with you.

"The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blenches, the thoughts that never wonders, these are the masters of victory."

You can define it in whatever way you want. It's so inspiring for me which I always look upon to achieve certain goals in life. I'm not totally there yet cos as long as I can breathe there's a long way to go for self-achievement which is often faced with obstacles and which has to be resolved before achieving whatever goals I've set. 

Anyway, it's still a long long way to go...but I dare to dream. :)

It's Been Awhile.........

Hi! here I am again after a few months of absence from this blog......haven't updated it till today. It would be a common reason to say that I'm always busy! LOL...so is everyone else! Anyway, this afternoon I'm quite free, so I'm dropping by. Geezzz! now I'm at a loss for words.....what else need to be said? My schedule this week? Ok, I'm attending a three-day course starting today. Apart from that, I need to look into some serious matters.....mid-year report which has to be presented this coming Saturday. Hehehe this is the tough side of it......have to focus on lots of things and have to be prepared for questions that might be 'shot' at me.....

Last week, I was in Kuching with my family. Went to Serikin....at last! for the very first time though I always go to Kuching. Well , that glamourous Serikin.....did buy a few things after bargaining with the traders....hope this is the appropriate word to use. Back from Kuching to Miri, then Bintulu....and of course....as usual so much to do. Not complaining....again! Hehehe

Glad that today I'm able to see familiar faces again. Once, we're together...it's talk talk talk....lots of things including little gossips.....that's typical among ladies....

Well, I'm looking forward to tomorrow...whatever lies ahead, let it be a good one!

What A Relief!!!

It had been like looking for lost treasure when I had to scratch my head trying to recover my password for this blog. Was it due to negligence? I think so....hehehehe..I couldn't even keep it safely in my memory.....short term memory, that's it! Actually, I did jot it somewhere but where the heck is my notebook??? Seems to have disappeared into thin air....and for that I had been criticised by my hubby saying that I wasn't systematic enough in making sure everything's in place....You're right, sir!

It's another time around when I didn't update this blog for countless reasons....hehehe....Work! work! work!...I really feel that I need an extra two hands more to handle everything.....why are we trapped in such a situation that always make us end up with stress and whatnots....hmmm...looks like I've got to make an appointment with Evelyn, the masseuse.......she knows when my stress level is at a rise!

Many things happened the past few months. My mind is always here even though going through the hush and rush of life....it's just for another reason that I couldn't update little jottings here.....losing my password. The last half an hour...I was scrutinising the screen of this lappy as though my password would pop out right in front of me.....n luck's on my side when I put myself to a test by trying to remember all sorts of passwords I use for my emails.....and thanks for the effort.....at last I could get thru and here I am now. What a lucky day!

This morning and throughout the day at work I had plenty of time mixing around and joking with the staff.....I was so light hearted......I knew I got heaps of paper works.....but it wasn't a really hectic day like yesterday when the staff and I had to be so diligent handling so much data....everyone with a calculator in hand....one wrong step would result in having sleepless night......thanks to everyone.....the ordeal's over....the next step is to key in everything.

Looking forward to tomorrow!
