I have to admit I am a bit slower than the rest. Well, a bit is way understated but I have finally succumb to the twilight fever. Smart ass me finished three of its book in just 6 days. It took longer for me to finish the first book because I have already watched the movie before I read it and although it was different, the plot was too predictable. Anyway i read the three other books in speedlight because it was AWESOME! I hate to admit it but the actor and actresses in the movie were very well picked. I was addicted man. I eat, sleep, drink, go to toilet and dream of the twilight characters. I spend hours with the book after i finish work and i was totally in my own world for the whole week. I went clubbing and all i could think of was the book!
Second book - new moon had so much heartwrenching moments that my heart ache along with it and then there was a twist and it washed all the sad sad parts away. Eclipse was my favourite of the series because all my favourite characters had equal parts in it and it was all very lovey dovey and lots of jealousy and stuffs. Breaking dawn was interesting because there were more twist but i was expecting a bit more but no one can hate a happy ending! HAHA.
After finishing all four, I felt relieved that my eat shit drink twilight days were over but boy was i wrong, i missed it, it felt like i have no purpose of life anymore and it's making me want to watch new moon in a movie even more! SO now i have nothing to read and lots of hungry cravings for a good old love story.
Well i guess all good things have to come to an end. i wish i can stop being so obsessed with it (i am youtubing about it too much too!) that i can finally go back to my life! i need to get a life!!

What has Malaysia becoming into?
I always feel sorry for my country whenever my friends on my facebook list have to talk about how much they hate politicians in a social network like facebook. I am even more saddened when my fellow Msian friends in Australia is disturbed by what's happening back home. But I do understand being the leader of a country is not easy because you can't please everyone. Yet in Malaysia, nobody has so much anger and frustration with the government as much as us Malaysian Chinese.
I dont care about what trouble this will bring me but we were never treated equally. We made more money because we are smart yet we pay taxes to feed a bunch of ppl who can't do their jobs well. It's no wonder we run from our country. It's no wonder we make up a bunch of excuses to run from paying tax. I sometimes dont blame the police for taking corruption because the higher ranks one ate up all their wages. few hundred dollars a month for a normal policeman is not enough to feed his family. It's no wonder they get tempted. People who are rich and powerful gets richer and people who are poor will remain poor (although this is also happening elsewhere in the world).
If it's not for my family, if it's not for my friends or the food, I would never never never over my sorry ass go back to Malaysia for holidays once a year. Because I feel very unsafe when I go out. I dont know when I'll get snatched. I dont know when i'll get kidnapped/murdered and they will never find out who did it. I dont know when we malaysian chinese would lose the littlest amount of place in this country.
It is a pity because Malaysia is such a beautiful place. Yet governed by a bunch of unbelievebly corrupted people. People who are still elected to do the job eventhough they do it in the grossest manner.
Do we actually have a choice? I really don't know.

boring
So. No updates lately because life is pretty boring here. The weather is too cold to go out at night. Too much rain makes me lazy too. I'd rather cozzy up at home and watch tv. Weekdays are spent working and Weekends are half working and half partying/movie/eating/coffee. Can't complain because life at this stage is extremely peaceful. normal is good. i like normal.
Nothing new too. the last time I update, i bragged about my car and bag. HAHA. Hmm, maybe I can talk about Adrian's new investment (which I happened to chip in a little too) - his new restaurant. It's not a big place but cozy and more like a take out kinda place. guai los love the food. I dont visit him a lot because I am like a wood when it comes to things i do not know how to do. I only know how to dispense/check scripts and give medical advices. LOL.
And been reading a little too, finally caught up with the Twilight craze. Cant remember when was the last time i bury myself in books. The storyline is really good but the style of writing was just so-so. It did bring me into the mood but it doesnt deliver that sort of "blast" and addictive-ness I was hoping it would.
And I got involved in a freaky incident last night. We usually only have 1 staff at night with a pharmacist and this guy brought in this script which was rather obvious that it was forged. There were two medicines on it and one was a controlled drug item (something like morphine). I never thought I would be able to identify a forged script but I did, right from the beginning. It was freaky because I didnt know what to do. Should I call the police? what if it is a real deal and the police are busy ppl you know. So i rang up the doc to verify the script and he said he hasnt written one with a controlled drug. i am like F**k. So what should i do now? In theory i should have just rang the police but I was too nervous and decided to confront that big guy. Not a great idea but he managed to grab the script and left. DAMNIT someone else could have given him if they're not careful. Anyway, they got caught in the end in another pharmacy. AIKs, my extremely lack of experience nearly got me into trouble. i was shaking so badly after that.
Boss has left for vacation too, leaving me to solve issues in the pharmacy. mind you, i have 20 staffs i need to look out for. To make things worse, it was the flu season and many ppl got sick. I need to replace ppl without exceeding the budget. damn. wasn't an easy task.
So.. that pretty much sums up recent happenings in my life. i hope you enjoyed reading it. HAHA

What I think about my first ex
I am 24 this year. Not a big age but it feels like everything has only just begun. I've got so much more to learn, to see and to live. So anyway, one day when i was just being really bored, started facebooking and noticed Alex (my first ex!) had a lot of wall posts on his profile. Curious, i decided to look into it and oh my, found out that he has actually proposed! It doesn't shock me, really, because I know he is attracted to commitments (sounds weird?) and he believes in 'the one'. The bigger shock came when I was talking to one of my SAM chi muis and realize he is gonna marry current MCA president's daughter. BUT the biggest shock came even much later when I realize his list of VIPS in his wedding.
HEY, those are ppl too i know, but how often have you got all the hot shots of your country in one venue and that venue isnt even about something important. HAHA. omg, there were past prime ministers (with an s!!!), current prime minister and other miscellaneous prime ministers! i'm not star struck or anything, I bump into christy chung in shopping malls or andy lay in a hotel lobby before and I didnt walk up to them to get autographs (mainly because i am lagging a little!) but those are BIG ppl, of msia!
Suddenly, i feel proud to have dated him. HAHA.
wonder what's gonna happen to my second ex or third ex? marry Megan Fox or something? LOL

Work
When we were in uni, the 'matured working' people would always tell us that uni life is the best days of your life. Back then I was in uni, and I thought the constant pressure of achievement kept me from enjoying life to its fullest. I hate exam days when nights are days and days are nights but of course, they were days of partying, of holidaying and not worry about exams, mahjoing til the wee hours of the morning that i wish i now have the energy to do!
But true enough, as they the 'wise' people had warned that working life is like a no return. Once you stepped into it, it's like your feet being stuck to mud. Of course I enjoy the financial independence that I once yearned so much (because i save a lot during uni days so my parents didn't need to spend so much on me!) and I have a great job with a good income that allows me to indulge in anything I want. BUT it is these indulgences that kill me.
It feels like i can't get out of it already. I have to keep working until I die. And i will be getting a house next year, i would die even faster. Anyway the reason I am whining is not because of the course of life I am going through now but I just had a bad day at work yesterday and it really demotivated me a lot. Sorry I am weak but this is who I am.
Being pharmacist in charge, I am liable for what staffs do, well this of course includes their stupidity, their not-listening-properly-and-then-puts-the-blame-on-you problem which I find it very hard to swallow. Honestly why should i be blame if you made a mistake? why should i be liable when if i were you, i wouldn't have done it in the first place?!
BUT this what a boss is supposed to do. It's like a waitress being complained by a customer, the manager has to step up and apologize. ANd honestly I am no boss material because I believe your actions are your own consequences. I can't convince myself to buy into shares for this pharmacy because i really don't think I know how to manage people.
ARgh. so here I am stucked! I need to be boss to feed my indulgences yet I know I won't be satisfied by a meager income if i am not boss? I am just like a big lost greedy monster. I guess I can't have both then?

My Addiction
I think i need help! I have a serious form of psychological disorder that no anti-depressants/ anti-psychotics would help!
I am addicted to.. SPending! Using money! The more I spend, the happier I feel and the less stressful I become. I need to keep spending in order to sustain the 'level of good mood' and when I don't spend, it feels as if something is missing. I would even feel the urge to spend even if there are not shops open at night, here in Adelaide. and guess what do I turn to? Online spending. Omg. This is really bad!
Just paid off my credit card bills that I racked up almost to its limit. Can you imagine I spent all of my wages (minus rent and bills etc) on stuffs that I don't even need? I need help man! Urgent and desperate help. I need to channel my vicious spending energy into something more productive, perhaps studying would be good! Maybe doing a short course! AHA perfect or exercise, like Yoga. or just put all my money in an investment! or or or....
argh. it's all just in the mind. I must learn to control it!

Looking back
Out of the blue, I decided to go back to my old blog and have a read about how I managed to get thru my puberty life. A lot of ups and downs and twists and turns but somehow it always turn out alright. I mean of course it turned out fine, because here I am standing, i mean sitting and blogging! Can't say my writing changed much, i still like putting commas everywhere and anywhere I like. Not much of the thinking changes too because when one is born, somehow u are just born with your personality.
But it was more about priorities - then, and now. I've been working almost one and half year now - got thru the period of studying frantically for exams, burning midnight oil, playing mahjong til the light of dawn etc. It just all seems so vague to me now because work fills my life, my bf and my aims in my life. I feel less carefree.
I have nothing to regret because I know I have achieved so much more. I am driving a car that I've set eyes on since forever, I am good at what I do and I am rewarded, I am living a life of a princess, I have the unconditional love of my family, I am going towards the direction that I've always hoped I would lead to. I am vain but I am proud of myself!
Really. Really. I do love my life. But perhaps, life is not just about settling down but towards more aims, more things in life. I'm not talking about greed, but an aim, an aim of life. If u ask me what do I see myself in three years time, I wish to have a house, a 100,000 salary career and to help my parents live better and let them have the freedom to do anything they want without having to worry about money. In five years, I see myself less of a career woman but settling down towards marriage and making my own family.
These are all visions. What i am living now was a vision i had five years back. I hope it just keeps getting better. And same goes to all my friends!
