Drooping eye lids

Sleep! Something that's essential in life to avoid drooping eyelids at work. Hmmm, okay maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration, my eyelids aren't drooping, am just really sleepy. After work I hope to go back to my room and cathc some zzzzzzzzzzz's. Someone actually asked me if I was alright just now, because according to her my eyes look swollen!! *yawn*
In my previous blog, I mentioned going for the Boys II Men Concert, but something I didn't add was where I got the tickets from. Thanks to Ling a.k.a. Hantuling we managed to watch the show. Thanks Hantuling!!!! (Ling is one of my Genting pals, for the benefit of my friends who don't know).
Thinking can be exhausting! I admit, I do too much of it at times which is why I look and feel tired more often these days. It's difficult to explain, but it's like a reflex these days. Something happens, then I tend to ponder, wonder and get caught up in "what if's?" Very very bad for the mental health and as it turns out, has been causing me a lot stress lately. Most people would advice me to "take things easy", sure, does a problem come with a quick fix solution? Well of course it doesn't, that's why we need to think and figure it out but maybe, my flaw is taking that thinking of mine few steps too far.
In light of that, I shall try to take things easy from now onwards (darn it, everything is easier said than done). This means I shall work on cutting down on my late nights and a bit more ALONE time....Wish me luck with this!
Cheers!

Weekends are too short!

Saturday was tiring but worth it in the end! I left Genting at around 10 a.m. to go look for my printer in Kajang. Basically i did a lot of driving on Saturday. Morning drove from Genting to Kajang. From Kajang, drove to Subang, spent a few hours there, from Subang to USJ and from there back to my house in Kota Kemuning. Reached home around 3 / 4 plus if i remember correctly. Around 6.30 i went out again to catch up with friends. By the time i reached home was midnight, phew! I was dead tired as the night before I had gone for the Boys II Men concert (which was good, forgot to add that earlier). Nevertheless, it was all worth it in the end. :)
Sunday was fantastic because I did absolutely NOTHING all day! Watched TV from the time i woke up till i went to sleep at night. This was because I wasn't feeling well too. My sinuses acted up on me, but resting did me some good and i feel a lot better today.
Anyways, where has the weekend gone?? It flew by too fast. Counting down the days to my next weekend..sigh! I so do need a break.
A friend of mine from Genting (who actually read my blog the other day) asked me, how come I never mentioned them in my blog. So here it goes! They have re-Christened me and given me another name (in addition to all the other names I already have), which is Desper - credited to Casper but with a D E S in front because they all call me Des up here. Why? Because I am colourless and pale most of the time. So, in addition to people calling me Desiree, Dee, Des, Desire (which i absolutely hate), and my home pet name (those who know it, good for you, those who don't, well tough luck!), I now have an additional name. Well one more to the list wont hurt.

TGIF

Woo hoo! It's Friday! Tonight I will be attending the Boys II Men concert at Arena of Stars, Genting. This is my first time going for a show up here. Finally kind of met my printing deadline for my newsletter too, but it also means that I am going to send the soft copy, by myself to the printer tomorrow. This also means that I get to leave Genting in the morning :) Things are looking up for the weekend.
As for my sickness, the healing process is real slow. Maybe i shall visit the doctor again tomorrow if it isn't better.....get stronger medication or something.
Hmmmmmmmm..what else? Oh yea, I was reading my friends blog yesterday on her "wishlist of things she's always wanted to do" and it occured to me that I too have such a list, but never actually wrote it down. So off the top of my head, some stuff that I have always wanted to do are:
1. Go to Nothern India - I have heard such nice things about Northern India, in particular the state of Punjab. It would be nice to see where my roots originate.
2. Become a music scholar - To actually study music. Growing up, I used to have piano lessons every week and unfortunately never finished my Grade 8 (which is one more thing I must must do). It would be nice to study music, its origin, how it's evolved, etc.
3. Learn to cook - My mother is such a marvelous cook and I must pick up that skill from her if only she'd let me once in awhile. Something for me to work on.

I can't really think of much more right now. Maybe in future postings I shall continue my "wishlist". Till next time, adios!

Rough edges everywhere

It's been awhile since I last wrote in here. I wasn't well, AGAIN! Had fever, cough, sore throat, the entire works but this time, it didn't involve me sleeping for 14 hours because I actually went to see a doctor this time. I am still recuperating, haven't got my voice back entirely. One thing I have noticed, when I fall sick up here, it takes much longer for me to recover. The weather really doesn't suit me.
Besides that, things have been a little rough on me lately. Not only with me being sick but also work, etc. Hope things brigthen up real soon!
Cheers!!

The end of my week - finally!!

Unlike most working people, I officially work 6 days a week, sometimes 7 depending on the amount of work I have to complete within a specific time frame. My main job function is my company employee newsletter, which is published twice in a month. It's rather hectic and challenging, which is why at times, i do not take my off-days and just carry it forward to the following week. How it works up here at Gentings is you have an option of taking your off-days weekly (meaning, you get one day of in a week) or monthly (you work 24 days at a stretch and take 4 days off in a row). My option was of course weekly, and i chose Sunday's to be my off-days. Usually, we are given the privilege of taking a half day the day before we go off, which means, today i get to leave the office by 3:00 p.m.
The weather this past week hasn't been very friendly. It's been raining, misty and windy. Work wise, the week was not as crazy as past weeks. Things have calmed down for now, which is good i should say. However, yesterday was a bit crazy (but not as super-duper crazy as it gets at times). I was asked to step in at the last minute to conduct new staff orientation (yes, we conduct orientation for staff on a weekly basis). This was my first time, and there wasn't any experienced people around to assist me. One of our clerks assisted me, but he too had not done this before. It was a pretty straight forward process actually; all i needed to do was tell them where they should report to the following day and at what time, then proceed and distribute their overtime cards. Sounds like a breeze right, but wait, there were 200 plus of them. After I completed the whole thing, I think it was a disaster!! I hope in future when I need to conduct this again, I would be more prepared. It was because didn't know what to expect that I fumbled here and there.
I am looking forward to this weekend. I have taken leave on Monday to take my mummy to get her medication. One extra day for me to be away from this mountain - you can't imagine how great it feels!

Yes, I have created a new Blog!

In the event of me forgetting my login and password of my old blog, from now onwards I shall be updating this one. After complains from friends (who actually read what I write) about me not updating my blog, so, I am taking this time to actually write something!
Hmmmmm, my last post was about me being sick and getting better. I wonder if anyone thought that I died or something..hahahaha..quite funny actually, because my last post says something about me sleeping for 14 hours, then NOTHING! heheheh..Well, no! I didn't die. I went for the wedding and had fun (although i did fall sick again while i was there).
So it's 2007! Happy new Year to all my pals whom I didn't get to wish personally. Things have been pretty much the same at work. A bit toned down this week. From Christmas till after New Year I was really swamped with work, due to the public holidays. It's amazing how it's a Public Holiday yet work still piles up. Why doesn't it just chill and take a break huh? (ok i know this makes no sense - disregard it, it's just me thinking out loud).
Let's see most people have made new years resolutions and all, and for the first time i would like to announce that; I dont have any this year. With that note, I end my post today.
*Peace to all*
Cheers!!!
