Dear Neglected Blog....
How are you? I wouldn't be surprised if you were upset with me. I can't believe it's nearly three weeks since I updated you.
I have really been bad, been busy, been lazy.....
I would offer excuses, but I'm not fond of abdicating responsibility. The truth is I've been caught up in other things, online and offline.
Thus, you have been neglected. No updates. No moderations of comments. Not even a peek into you foer weeks. I seem to have drifted away from the process of getting ideas out through my own blog. Certainly part of it is sheer lack of time (and possibly ideas!) but it also reflects the choice of channel these days. For me the diversions include Twitter and FaceBook.
I'm sorry. I still love you, treasure you and cherish you. You were here for me before Twitter, before FB. You were the one place I ran to during my times of low and sorrow, once upon a time ago. But, the flexibility to link to twitter and embed other bits of online stuff meant that for me it was a better place when blogging alongside others – especially conferences. And as that was when I posted quite a few of my posts it meant that my own blog has become very neglected and combined with my apparent inability to write a quick blog post mean that you have been placed on the back burner. I'm sorry. I will try to visit more regularly, if for briefer periods.
I know that when I neglect you, the chain of neglect also extend to my blogroll friends and then my loyal followers. To both these groups, I also extend my apology. If blogs could sue their owners for abandonment, mine would make a fortune already! I do plan on keeping it going as soon as my life gets just a little less hectic. In the meantime, I apologize to all visitors for the cobwebby feeling to this place.
Life has been hectic, I admit. What with my new year's resolution to workout everyday for at least 30 minutes, it kinda puts me into tired mode at the end of the day. And, plus Hilman's UPSR year, I have been really frazzled with his hectic schedule. Extra classes, tutions and study groups just eats up my time in the form of chauffering him everywhere! Seriously, I had more time for myself when I was doing my Masters, compared to when he is sitting for his UPSR!
But then, those are excuses, I know. I should be more disciplined and put more effort here. The Woman, the Mom and the Lover put me to shame when she hit her 800th post here! I should strive to be like her erk? I mean she has got three roles on her plate, whereas I've only got two... surely I too can do like her... and strive to reach that 800th mark! Hehehe....
The must difficult part of moving forward is what we leave behind, and I really do not want to categorise you as something that I will leave behind!
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this visit as much as I have. I will be back soon... and yes, that is a promise!

Aiyooooo... Friday Already Arrr?
Been a hectic week. Nak update blog pun tak sempat. And I owe Amy from Vistana a review on the food sampling dinner that I attended last Thursday! Still have not got around to doing it yet, so many other urgent matters need to be attended to first!
Work have been piling up. No matter how vigorously I attack them, there is still a big pile left over in the evening, and when I come into the office in the morning, the pile just keeps getting bigger! Haiiiii.... ngeluh karang, orang kata tak baik, sebab rezeki tu!
Hilman is sitting for his UPSR this year. His school took the inisiative to organise extra classes for the UPSR students every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nites. Friday and Saturday he goes for tution. That renders me a full time chauffer to him after my office hours. Another reason why this blog is not regularly updated now (excuses, excuses....!)
Syed is leaving us, after 10 years of partnership. He is venturing out to another firm with a whole new aspiration and perception. Its kinda sad, as he was one of the founding partners of this firm of ours. But I wish him well and bid him the best of luck in his future endeavours.
I've been a glutton lately. Asyik dok makan jer! So much good food, good company, occasion to celebrate, has turned me into a pig! Oink, oink... that's me! People have been commenting at FB that my page is a food lover's haven. All my mobile uploads are always scrutinised and well commented by fellow Facebookers, especially when it is food related!
On a brighter note, Long is coming back from Korea this coming Monday! Miss her sooo much ler! She's been there for the past 4 months already, staying with her auntie. And I'm also looking forward to getting my soaps. Yes, I now collect soap! Hehehe... stupid, I know, but they are so unique and fragrant, I can't help but ask for soap from those who goes holidaying abroad!
So, next week lah I update properly erk? I'm off to KL for the weekend for MNS Council's meeting. Something that I dread, coz of its loooooong hours! But hey then, we only meet up 3 months once!
In the meantime, you people keep chilled okay? Don't go around burning churches or smearing them with paints okay?

Happy New Year....
We’re several days into the New Year already, and many of us are still basking in the glow of a fresh start. Well at least I am! Hehehe...
Every year, January brings renewed optimism for change, for a better life, for a better you. And that’s a wonderful thing, I think!
It’s wonderful, because this fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent our lives and ourselves. It allows us to reinvigorate ourselves, to shed the baggage of the previous year and do anything we have longed to do. Well this year there are a few things that I have listed down, not as a resolution, but more of a 'want-to-do' kinda list.
Just to share some here, with U readers...
1. I wanna get rid of negative thoughts. As Winston Churchill once said, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”. I want to be that optimist and see the rainbow at the end of a rainy day!
2. Take a breather. After one less than great year, after finishing my Masters in June last year, I found that I was literally holding my breath and forgetting to breathe at times. Sometimes consciously taking slow, deep breaths is the best way to revitalize energy levels.
3. Make a list of books I wanna read in the upcoming year. Depending on my reading rate, this could range from 5-30 new books that I’ve always been interested in.
4. Find a new topic of interest. A new hobby can kick start the New Year with a burst of energy. I intai-intai to somebody's blog tadi, and see that she is an expert in quilting, something that I have aspired to take up for a long time, but got no one to guide me on it! Check it out at Dreamneedle!
5. Spend more time with myself. Learning to enjoy my own company is maybe the hidden secret to confidence. The Dalai Lama even recommends it, having said, “Spend some time alone every day!.”
6. Take a look at my resume and giving it a facelift. Even if I am currently self employed, chances are I could always move up or do better. Getting my resume in working order just in case the opportunity presents itself.
So, here I am, raising a glass of teh-O to the New Year and all that it stands for! Here's wishing a great year ahead for you readers too!
