Time for spring cleaning....for the soul (Part II)

Today I managed to call the personal empowerment contact person that my boss passed to me. Right now I need to pray for God to provide the resource and opportunity to attend the workshop. Hmmm...didn't realise that this kind of workshop can cost RM888!! It's supposed to be at Mont Kiara for a weekend but only food is provided, not a stay-in workshop. It should be sometime before the end of the year. She just needs at least 10 people to start the workshop but right now she only has about 4 people interested.

Gosh! I really need to work out my budget....what with Christmas coming and all. Time to get a little creative again this Christmas?? Do I have the time??!! Time is such a precious commodity to me....sigh. I need to MAKE TIME!! Just have time to start getting in touch with my soul again by making this simple list:

What makes me happy:
Dancing and singing in the rain!
Puppies and dogs...love to watch them sleep and eat
Making music...on my piano, violin, guitar...anything!!
Playing with children especially toddlers
The joy of sharing and seeing someone receive Christ
Thinking back of the time when I first discovered the way to heaven is free
Feeling and smelling the fresh crisp sheets of newly changed bedsheets
Watching the night sky and singing praise songs at 1am in the morning
Discovering a rainbow in the sky
Smelling the fresh air after a heavy rainfall
Giving and receiving presents!
Chatting and spending some light hearted moments with my friends
The look of a child when she discovers something new/exciting.
Walking on the beach
Snuggling in bed on a rainy day
Cheese....anything from mozarella to cheddar
Chocolate...anything from ice-cream to frapuccino.
A good haircut...and a hairdresser
Watching a good comedy
The feeling I get after a good workout.

Hmm....20 items...not bad for starters. This list is actually things I've done or experienced before. Some might think I must be crazy...but what the heck, it makes me happy and it's not illegal...hehe! Maybe the next list I should do is "What do I want to do before I die"....gotta find time for that.

Calendar boy

The long queue snaked along the walkway outside Espanda club and it was only 8pm. At the entrance the organisers were busy giving away doorgifts and free drink coupons. Behind the stage, 30 nervous young men were getting ready for the final round of interview. Inside the club, it was already jam packed with people waiting impatiently for the event to start. There was hardly any standing space left and yet people were pushing their way through to get a better view of the stage while the long queue kept getting longer outside. Finally there were lots of cheering and wolf whistles, the young men were coming out to do the catwalk. Dressed in jeans and body hugging white T-shirt with "I'm A Hunk" printed in front, to show off their muscular bodies, all 30 of them looked liked cover-guy models vying for the title of....New Icon/New Tide's latest 12 Hunks of the Year 2005. In between interviews, there was also a special presentation from our Malaysian Idol, Daniel as we...

All I Want for this Christmas is....

This Christmas has really been a nostalgic one for me. I was window shopping these past few weeks for some Christmas gift ideas when I came upon Memory Lane the other day. What caught my eye was this little miniature wardrobe wrapped in bright, eye-catching colours. I was attracted to it and went in to take a closer look. It actually turned out to be a jewellery box shaped like a miniature wardrobe. It even has a little mirror inside and a turnstile inside one of the glass cabinets...to hang your necklaces in. Hmmm....good idea especially each time I take out my necklaces from my jewellery box, it all gets entangled and takes me forever to get them unentangled. Then nostalgia came in....I still remember how I got my first jewellery box. I think I was about six or seven of age and my favourite grandma used to come visit once in a while especially during the Christmas holidays. That particular Christmas, she came to visit and gave me a jewellery box for Christmas. It was made of...

Why so downcast O my soul?

Recently I seem to be having a few upheavals in my personal relationships and also those around me. Don’t you get the feeling that sometimes months go by without something big happening and all of a sudden it all just comes pouring upon you? Is it me or it is absolutely no fault of mine. *blinks innocently* In the past few weeks, I seem to have upset one of the most patient and sweetest guy I know…though not intentionally. I’ve apologized and tried to make things better but he hasn’t been replying my messages nor picking up my calls. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I don’t know but lately I feel like whatever I say or do, people seems to be reacting negatively or things just blows up in my face. Then my brother did a very good job in making me feel like a failure by letting me know I am not making enough to help with the family finances. It’s bad enough that I am already frustrated with the fact that I do not have the resources to get a degree or get a place of my own… or even my own wheels. Now h...
