My 1st Ever Wish List

Given the person in me a few months back this question, "What do you want for your birthday?", my answer might sounded something like this, "It's OK. You don't have to give me anything." Yeah rite.. I'm always conscious of not putting others into trouble to get me something and not receiving from anyone, if I wasn't desperate enough.

Perhaps I'm more comfortable as a giver, rather a receiver. There's a tiny voice in me that keep reminding me that being a giver is better than receiving. Maybe it's the moral values that I'm holding on so rigidly all these years. Jules and Sandz told me before that I needed to love myself more. I couldn't understand that actually. I felt happy when people who received from me were happy. It's the act of giving that made me feel happy, or honestly, it made me felt that I'm a good person. And I never think that I deserved anything from anyone. A really troubling side of me huh?

Today, when I went out wiv Jules for a drink at Starbucks, I realized that I'm into something that I've never thought that I would be able to do. Having wishes. I have so many things that I wished to have, to do, places to go... I thought that it would be a great start by actually listing things that I really wished for. So, here goes the list.
  1. Getting my Masters Degree - And of course, another 4 yrs of PhD. I know it'll be tough, I know it'll take up another 2 yrs in my life, but I havn't been this sure before. And i really hope that I'll be able to lecture in the uni someday.
  2. My very own digital camera - that will probably be the next 'to buy' list after i get my salary. I have an urge to take pictures of family, friends, events, experiences, places etc...
  3. Travelling around the world!!! - Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia, Greece, Netherlands, Italy, South Africa etc.... And of course, i want pics of every place i visited and experienced! Really gotta start saving money for this, or get a rich husband to pay for my travel fees. Wahahaha (evil laugh)...
  4. Paying off my study loan from PTPTN before going 30 - Is it possible?
  5. Lose some flab from my arms! - I'll be getting my 1st set of dumbells by the next weekend, i hope, and say farewell to my "bye bye arms"... It's really a self image problem, and it's damn hard to fit those arms into clothes. Sigh.. nothing can be done bout the weight. Mum says it's big heavy bones..
  6. To get my prediction for World Cup 2006 right for the finals.. hahahaha, this is a desperate wish.
  7. Laptop!!!! And a really good one!!! - This might be a little bit later to fulfill due to restrained financial abilities.
  8. My own room, or better still, my own apartment! - Ok, 2 yrs time for a room, and 5 yrs for an apartment.. realistic enough?
  9. To be able to drive again - Another sad case for me...
  10. Starting a business.... - Hmm.... How does this get in here..?

That's basically everything that's in mind now. All i can hope is to work hard to get all these wishes fulfill. Or if anyone interested, No. 2 can be fulfill by the end of the year. =P

World Cup 2006 updates: 3rd place playoff (Germany vs. Portugal: 3-1)... Finals tomorrow! Yay!!

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...
