rest day

for the past 7 days, have been doing a lot of cleaning, washing, mopping, then eating, drinking. time flies, today is already the 6th day of CNY. day 1-3 were solely occupied with family and relatives. i started working on day 4. other colleagues in the same department took longer break as they went back to penang and ipoh. i will take a day off next tue. the 9th day of CNY is the BIG day for hokkien. according to the "start work" calendar, my best day would be on day 5. but i didnt find it best as i was "stranded" in the office until 9.30pm. some hiccup with work due to miscommunication. no point to get angry, just quickly sorted them out as it's due next monday. during the past 2 working days, we went out for lunch. vegetarian and then organic lunch. drove out because traffic was still smooth as many were still on leave. not often we got the chance to do this. haha. after a hectic one week of none stop cleaning, washing, eating, drinking, today is the day i wo...

display for this year. brought grandma's "8-por" basket out from cupboard for display. mum said it's antique because grandma used this when mum got married to dad. welcoming the long holidays, the "traffic" in kl sentral was as bad as the road traffic. it was raining last friday (last working day) and added more "waiting time" for the commuters. i was luckily to escape the long wait as i was in the office playing "chinese lego". rearranged my table nicely to welcome a new year. hopefully the year of dragon will be a smooth one! kong hei fatt choy!

between sisters

i'm a cry baby. whether it's happy moment, farewell or whatsoever, i can cry easily. i started reading a book last week and i finished it yesterday. got this book randomly from the big bad wolf sale last year. Between Sisters. pic source i almost cried at certain section of the book. if i didnt stop reading (because i have reached my station), i would be crying already. it's not a sad sad book. it's about life. how fragile it can be. and by just being there, supporting each other, it really means a lot. love it!
