Regrets. Everybody’s got them, right? Be it big or small, nobody lives without having the slightest hint of regret deep in their hearts. Don’t you sometimes wish that you could turn back time and done things a different way than you did? I have… Ok, so I know there’s no use crying over spilt milk, but hey isn’t that what a blog is for? Haha. Here’s my list, just for the heck of it:

* I wish I coulda taken up electric guitar instead of classical guitar when I was younger, cause I’m more of a rocker than a classical one.

* I wish I coulda put in more passion and effort in college, cause I know that I could do so much better but laziness made me just an “ok” average student that nobody remembers.

* I wish I coulda given it more time and thought into my tattoo design, cause it isn’t exactly 100% original and I realised too late that it coulda been even more awesome.

* I wish I coulda been more thrifty in the past and given it more consideration, cause I have tons of stuff bought under impromptu intuition which I really don’t need at all.

* I wish I coulda been more active in TaeKwonDo/ swimming/ gymming/ yoga, cause if I hadn’t stopped working out in a specific sport, then maybe I woulda been like a part time pro right now.

* I wish I coulda been less stubborn when my family advices me on my personal relationships, cause realising the truth in them a little late made me sigh on how much time has been spent on fighting for nothing.

* I wish I coulda have taken my time with Buibui, cause I now realise that I ace the creative department, but I’m lacking so much in the business & marketing department.

Lose some, learn some. At least I know what went wrong

Cheesy title, I know, haha. This is my 100th post in this blog, so… Yay

Ugghhhhh what a week! With Alfred away in HK, I’m the one who follows up on half of his stuff on top of my own work and that has gotten me a bit ARGH~ Especially when I have to meet clients by myself and one of them happen to be infamously difficult. Siiiigh… Yes, Alfred, now I know how you feel lol. I wonder how we can make this work better? I don’t fully blame the client, but I don’t fully blame ourselves either. Which is why I’m like, serba salah. No one’s fault, per se. So what can we do? One thing’s for sure, I need to learn how to be a little more thick-skinned and take it as it is haha. Ah, the turmoils of being the supplier…

Can’t wait for Alfred to be back. It’s somewhat nice to be independent, but it would be better if he was around to guide me along my way, as I am still new to dealing with clients.

But sometimes I just wish that we have a better working system though. We’re flexible and it’s nice, but still… Hmmm.

So it has been decided that Bluey’s new name will be Hades, and Stripey’s will be Ares. Credits to SerYoung for the suggestions hehe. It suits too, I guess. Especially when I have an ’senior’ fishy named Zeus. Besides, Hades’ name suits him cause… the poor thing is experiencing some fin rot (the tail edges fell off! T_T), and he’s acting sickly. So, he’s not exactly full of ‘life’, just like the God of Death? ^^;;; I know it’s not the water nor the location problem or whatever. Cause both Hades and Ares live in the same room, also they get food and water changes at the same time. Ares is fine and growing beautifully, but somehow Hades got sick. We’re trying to save him and hopefully regrow his beautiful fins.

Now, I’ve been hand-feeding Zeus to try to train him to make little jumps out of the water surface. Been feeding him this way for a couple of weeks now and he’s getting used to it. In fact, yesterday I just pointed my finger without food and he jumped up to nibble my fingertip XD Yea, attaboy! Exactly what I’m trying to get him to do hehe. Only managed to tipu him once tho Fishy’s not so stupid lol.

Goliath, on the other hand, is still too frightened of my finger that he couldn’t be bothered by the food on my fingertip =_= What la! His name ought to be Achilles or something. Looks/acts strong but has a ridiculous weakness. Sigh, come on, boy…! Be brave, you can do it!

The week sure passed by pretty quickly. It was busy as heck at the beginning of the week and next thing I knew, today’s Saturday!

Quite a quiet week too, in a way. Kelvin, Choong and ChrisLee were outstation all week from Monday to Friday. And Alfred left for HK since Thursday. So… Monday til Wednesday was kinda busy for me, rushing some stuff prior to Alfred’s flight. But afternoons were so quiet and boring in the office with only me and Ron around. Music was blasted out really loud and we were chatting away about life and nonsense. Cause with the lack of co-workers around, we were F*CKING bored! But it was nice, er, “bonding” with Ron. We talked a lot of life in general. You know… Work and relationships, mostly. It was nice to share XD

The 3 co-workers finally back in the office today. We were like, yay! Hello again! XD Sigh, but it’s gonna be a little hectic coming week, me thinks. With Alfred away, I’d have to run some errands in his place. Starting with a client’s appointment on Monday. Gaaaargh~ I have not met this client without Alfred before >.< Meh… This is why I’m sometimes known as his “assistant” lol.

Crowntails!!! *hearts* Still small babies, so they’re not really aggresive yet. Therefore I can’t show u yet their true beauty until they learn to be more aggresive and fully open up their fins and tails. But the thing now is, no names for them yet, any ideas???

  
Temporary nicknames: Bluey & Stripey, respectively.

So what shall it be? Riley? Logan? Achilles? Loki??

I had a great Valentine’s date with Jeff last night. It was just a simple date, but it was really nice and I enjoyed it very much. He took me to 1utama. We had dinner at Sushi Groove. It was really sweet cause he’s not a fan of japanese food, but he took me anyway cause he knows how much I like sushi ^^ Check out this platter of salmon sashimi… Ooooh yeaaaahh…

After that we walked aimlessly around while waiting for our movie. We watched Pink Panther 2. My review is that I didn’t really like the first movie at all, but I honestly find the 2nd movie better and funnier! Kudos =D

Oh yeah, Jeff bought me another betta fish. Actually he bought 2 lol. This time it’s a crowntail Yippee, now I have 3 different species hehe. I have yet to name them tho. And I forgot to take a photo too They’re still pretty small. Wonder how long before they grow to be as big as Goliath and Zeus?

So that’s my Valentine’s day this year. Which I initially thought I’d spend alone or something. Ended up meeting a great guy, and going out on a great date Thank you, dear Jeff~ <3

It’s the day of the colours red and pink shades decorating malls and public spots. The day of overpriced roses in pretty bouquets wrapped with sweet glittery paper, alternatively with tiny teddy bears or candy instead of flowers. The day of fattening fancy-shaped chocolate candies packed in a heart-shaped box with a pink ribbon. The day of worthless soft toys so oversized that it needs its own seat at the restaurant/movie. The day of crowded malls full of couples galore queueing up for a seemingly romantic dinner-for-two at fancy restaurants which stopped their usual menu for special couple package dinners for today. Did I miss out anything? XD

Oh yeah. It’s also the day that singles hate the most lol. I don’t get it. This day is so overrated yet people love it. Except when it’s actually SAD (Singles Awareness Day).

Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovelies <3

So my kid brother Joey left last night for Melbourne, where he will pursue his studies to achieve his dream. Naturally I cried, but he didn’t see me shed my tears XP I’m gonna miss him lots. It’ll take some time to get used to not having him around for a long time. On the contrary for my sister, who’ll take some time to get used to having him around all the time lol! I think I’m not quite feeling it yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks, then I’ll go brawling again that he’s not around.

Bye, Joey! All the best!

I appreciate guys with at least a basic level of vanity towards their appearances, and I’m glad that I personally know a few guys who actually take the minimal effort to look good =D They don’t need to be metrosexuals, but just a little bit of time to make sure that they look presentable is good.

So what did I mean when I said “basic” vanity? Hair should be styled, facial hair shaven, and a clean trendy simple outfit. So easy! Why can’t all men be more vain?

Random topic, I know lol
