Week 6

At the rate I'm going, I think I'm better off making this a weekly thing. So here's week 6.

I'm especially grateful for 2 people's advice or word of comfort when it comes to love and relationships. JC told me to focus on my career first and the rest will fall accordingly in place - "What you are at that moment in time will attract the person". JV told me that some day I'll find someone who loves me without being too fussed about who loves who more. Coming from JV, I was a bit touched. Thank you, you two. True that, I've been focusing on my career and my studies and, most importantly, myself. I have not felt this happy or done these many crazy things in a long time. :)

I've been out late as of late and I'm thankful that I've not gotten into any trouble driving home. And no, I wasn't drunk driving but I get a bit too tired to focus. Thank you. I know You are always protecting me. :)

It was the raya weekend and so the whole family was together. HAPPY!!! I'm thankful for having my family around me. We had a good break filled with lots of SEAFOOD - I think I have to go on a diet for the next 2 weeks or so just to compensate the overeating.

I'm also thankful for being able to make time to read a little this weekend. The Time Keeper was a good reminder of the thing we take granted for the most - time. One lovely quote from the book was this - "There is a reason God limits our days. To make each one precious".

And thank you, Marsh, for giving me this lovely card. Love getting things with quotes like that. Indeed, big dreams start in small places. This shall sit on my work station for a long, long time. :)

After the 4-day break, I'm (finally) looking forward to going back to work again. There's a lot to do this week but I'm sure I can manage it. To a great, eventful and productive week ahead!

Day 33

Some days, I go by thinking that there is nothing that I am particularly thankful for. I guess that's one of the reasons why I decided to start this 365 days of gratitude and appreciation - so that I could see the little things in life and not take them for granted and at the same time multiply all the positivity.

I had one amazing Saturday. After the entire day of revision, it felt good to be out with the girlfriends. Thank you for such an awesome-and-fun-filled night. And for exploring the idea of preconceived judgement. Well, the ending was totally unexpected and unprecedented in my life but I have no objections!

Thank you Lemony Raymond for finding out about Top Catch. Had a nice plate of sashimi for only RM29! Bought 2 nice pieces of salmon fillets as well! That was a good start to my Sunday morning. And thank you to the kolokmee uncle, for making such chewy kolokmee! Yummmsss happy to have found a new place for breakfast :D

Today, I had a buka puasa with Shazwan and Raymond. Didn't manage to fast but it was a good opportunity to learn more about culture and religion. Raya is sooo near! I'm happy in anticipation of the short break and family reunion! :)

*Think I really should practise this. :)

Day 31 & 32

I'm thankful that Mar proactively contacted me a few months back asking whether I was going for the rock climbing tryouts. I hadn't climbed that often then and could count the number of times I've climbed in my life with one hand. If she hadn't contacted me, I probably would have changed my mind last minute and not go for the tryouts. But she did and I went for it and I have since then been picked to join the Bank's team and now enjoy climbing very much. And on top of being selected to join the team, I'm grateful that I've made a new friend. You're so random, Mar, but you're awesome in your own way. :)

I'm thankful for people who are efficient at work. Send an email at 4pm yesterday thinking I wouldn't get a reply quick enough to satisfy my manager but I did! Always grateful to work with efficient, proactive people. :)

Also, thankful to be back home early today. I didn't get my revision done as planned but I'm glad to be back early as I'm feeling really exhausted. Gonna hit the sack soon!

Weekend is soooo near. Feeling happy. :)
