My Simple Life ♥

I couldnt remember the name of this space.

I thought I had left this space untouch for at least 10 years. but i just realised, i am still updating it up till 2017. thats pretty recent.

Life right now.

I have a ok job. not as good as i want it to be, but i can be comfortable.

I am stuck with a double life.

Seeing people around me moving on. enjoying life. i am envious. but i cant bear to get out of this at this point of time. its too cruel.

Kai is now pregnant. I am so happy for her! so glad everything eventually worked out for her and Dave. I am sure both of them would be great parents.

What about me?

Sometimes these thoughts keep me up at night. Parenting. Age. Savings. House. Debts.

I am 35.

Looking back at my old photos. I used to be so happy. So easily contented. Now I am hardly happy. Cause a part of me is dark. I became someone i hated.

Is this guilt? Will this feeling ever go away?

My Simple Life ♥

All I ever wanted in life, was to have the person I love, love me back and be faithful to me.

And this person I love is now my husband.

I wonder why am i doing this now.

Why is life so complicated?

Why am I so unhappy?

Was it a choice to make my life so complicated??

My Simple Life ♥

May flew by.

Last month I was worried about my unemployment situation. Now, I am 1 day away from starting a new (short) journey. I wonder what will happen after 6 months.

Best case scenario : Converted to Perm with a half month AWS
Worst Case Scenario: Back in the job market looking for a permanent position.

One year ago when I joined GB, I was very happy that I got a 35% pay rise (well not really, if you factor in AWS & VB, but considering I rather had a high monthly basic so this was a good jump, so I can ask for higher pay going forward). Then I ended up in NF, almost 100% increase in my salary.

Within a year, I went from contented to a level where I never thought I would have reached at my age. Unfortunately, I did not treasure it enough. Maybe I should have suck up more to the people I worked with. Maybe I should have tried harder.

Maybe.

But the 8 months with them was indeed amazing. I traveled to places I never thought I would. I met and worked with amazing people. I stayed in beautiful 6 stars hotel. It was a great exposure.

However, falling from such heights was hard for me.

I felt depressed. Perhaps not as depressed as when I was struggling to meet the expectation from my manager. I fell defeated and inadequate. I feel myself not being able to tell people I have fallen, even though they do not judged.

One year later, I am back to square one. Back to the ordinary path. Back to being ordinary.

I always wonder if I am asking for the sky.

Why am I so hard to be contented as compared to as I was in SH? Is my world bigger now? Am I being too unrealistic?  I really dont know.

Who am I afraid of to judge me? I think I am the only person judging myself. I just cant get over it.

Many people, including B told me that the salary I am drawing is above average. But why is that I still feel inadequate?

And now that I see there are people around me facing more challenging issues in life like divorce and breakups, I wonder, in comparison, which is worst? A failed career or a failed relationship? I think many of you will say the lather.

In any case, I am just glad that I am going back to workforce after 6 months. Sad to say I dont think I have achieved much during the 6 months. I spend most of them having fun and recharging. Now that I m going back to 9 - 5, I am having anxiety.

I hope things will still be good after 6 months.

B is doing well and I hope we will both do well together. Slowly, but surely, I will want to reach a new height again in 2 years time. By then, will I already have plans to have kids? I am not sure. Definitely not now.

Will I ever reach the new height again? I definitely hope so.

My Simple Life ♥

Its been.. what.. 5 months of not working.. today i wake early to have breakfast with B.  After he left for work, I sat at the hawker centre and stared into space for 5 mins - feeling like a bum.

I am not sure how B can do it last time.

These days, I sleep till about noon everyday so that the day seem shorter. Everyday I wish I had done more productive things earlier, like travel, attend courses, now i just convinced myself everyday its too late.

I should have started the job hunt earlier.

I am not sure if its my experience? Or is it my asking salary? I mean I only had a couple of interview.

Even the recent one I went to with high confidence, I have been waiting to hear back. I feel defeated by the day. I feel useless, I feel broke, not that the compensation is all gone, but a big portion of it I have set aside like I have strike a mini lottery.

Only when I am drinking, listening to music, I feel calm. But most of the time, I feel lost. I keep asking myself what if this is it? Maybe I will end up being a useless bum, or maybe I will just accept any jobs and waste my life away. What if..

I feel desperate, hopeless.

Half of my friends know I am out of job, the other half doesnt.

I feel a mixture of wanting to go out to keep myself busy, the other half of me hate the socializing because everyone is seemingly interested about my glam job. I think most of the time I still prefer to go out though, as long as I can evade the topic.

Maybe I just think too highly of myself. Whenever I talk to recruiters, I feel they look down on my experience and achievements.

I hope I hear something by today. I need to get my life back on track. Into the rat race. To feel the work stress and fatigue everyone is talking about. I cant do this anymore - not doing anything.

My Simple Life ♥

A year went past without me touching this space.

Life was routine with not much highlights.

I guess this is what they call Growing up.

Not that i am not happy. In fact, 2014 on the average was good.

Work wise was ok, i was given more responsibility. I love what i am doing now. I get to talk to people and people know me. Got involved in projects, kept me really busy. The usual problem between me and my boss and my team didn't go away, but didn't bother me as much.

Right now, i am just waiting for March and April to decide my future. Honestly, this place doesnt inspire loyalty.

One of the bigger decision i made for the year was to finally start my CA course. I figured since i am not doing all that well, i might as well upgrade myself, so that i have better token to negotiate with my future employer.

I had a tough time with friends this year. and i start to wonder have they changed? or i have? a handful of them i really struggled to understand their reasoning. I have lose all hopes for a few of them, its beyond reasoning and understanding, i just.. give up.

maybe i just cant get along with anyone.

It is also a year of major change for B.

He became involve with his new business after the venture on the gaming side didnt work out. It was quite a shame, i think that route would have open up more paths for him, but i know his interest is really in the pub business, so i have been very supportive.

Honestly, i am really proud of his achievements that he always undermined,

I can see his efforts being paid off, although not as much as he wants he wants it to be, but gradually, i see the improvement in all aspects of the business. I think its not easy.

But i know B is someone who needs instant gratification. Or maybe since i am not in the business myself i dont see it as clearly as he does. I dont know.

His involvement in the business have changed him as a person, causing a change in myself too。 His thinking have evolved and matured a lot in 2014. It makes him a less happier person but also a more responsible and driven man. Welcome to the real world.

As he faces a lot more pressures than before, and as he started later than most of us. I tried to be there for him and be as supportive as possible. So far, it works. I see that he handle hurdles better and get over negative feelings faster. Although there are still a lot of negativity day in day out, and sometimes it passes on to me because i worry too much. I care so much about his happiness that once the negativity kicks in, rather than dispelling it, it absorbs it like a sponge. But maybe things are not as bad as i perceived it to be.

Another change is that i find that i am more trusting towards him, gain a lot more faith in him. We almost dont fight anymore and i hope its a good thing because some may say not fighting all of a certain may just means we are tired of fighting about the same thing. But i realised some times that i mind or bothers me a lot does not bother me as much now. E.g Not replying to my msgs immediately. I used to hate it (i still do), but i know hes out there working hard and the last thing i want is to add on to his burden. so usually i just deal with the negative thoughts by going to sleep or watch something to distract myself. That works pretty well.

I would like to think we lead a very positive relationship now, so much so that i notice i am yearning to proceed to the next level - marriage. We have never really discussed it in details except for once. We talked about our future together but we never talk about how to get there. I know he is the one and i think its a matter of time. But i know his concern now is financial stability and he would not ask for my hand unless he feels he can provide comfortably for me. Its not fair to me but i know this kind of principle is important to man.

Honestly, i dunno if i like the idea of a wedding or marriage. Because sometimes i feel like getting married, but sometimes i dont. Oh, but i do like the idea of getting engaged first =D

And i also worry about fertility problem because my gfs keep harping on it -.-

Other than that, i don't really feel the urge, its more like peer, family and social pressure.

I think we are just happy as we are.

In any case, i really hope things in 2015 will be better for me and him and that there is a bigger chance of us going to the next phase.

My Simple Life ♥

2013 is coming to an end.

I wouldnt say this is a fantastic year for me but neither it has been too bad for me.

Went through some struggles with my work. Went for a few trips with my loved ones.

Bali with Kailin & the rest of my second family. Got to know some of them better and thoroughly enjoyed my first Bali trip.

Hokkaido with B at the beginning of the year and it was really so awesome. Lots of memories created once again. Most unforgettable part was surprisingly our side trip to Obihiro. We drove from Sapporo to Obihiro and side track a good 2 hours off the scheduled time in hope to find famous Yubari melon. But to our dismay, it was not in the season, so all we got was an Melon icecream from a cafe.


The stay at Onsen resort was awesome. Huge room. First experience for him. Enjoyed awesome food for dinner and breakfast. And not forgetting the heavenly awesome Butadon.


 Cant wait to go back to japan again soon.

Europe with my parents. While i wont say it was a fantastic trip but i am really glad i managed to fulfll my mom's long time wish to go to switzerland. The whole trip cost a bomb, but i think its worth it as long as both of them enjoys it.

It was my first trip out of Asia too. Especially love Holland and Belgium :)



Mom has been asking when i am going to get married. Honestly, financially we are both not ready.

But she cant seem to understand and think that i am dragging it. On my side, i have hardly brought this up to B in case he feels pressurised to do smth about it. I have mixed feelings.

On one hand i dont feel the stress yet, because alot of my friends are still single.

On the other, i look forward to my wedding day. Maybe just for the wedding day itself.

Our relationship have stabilise alot over the past one year.

I think we have both put in tremendous effort to achieve this. We hardly argue because of things that we cant agree on. Not sure if thats a good thing. On my part, i know i m becoming less insistent about certain things. When i am not happy about it i usually just express my unhappiness to him and not pick a fight over it and let it pass later.

In a way i am also afraid that this relationship will lose the passion, that he will no longer look at me with those loving eyes - although we have been together for 3 yrs already, and losing some passion along the way shd be quite normal. But i dont like that idea because i think we still have a long way to go :(

On my birthday this year, i received alot of nice presents from my dear friends and a surprise dinner party which i had already anticipated. feel lotsa love from everyone and i m glad although i dont have tons of friends around me so that i can go to different xmas parties tonight, but i do have a handful of people who really cares about me and love me. I am very blessed.

In 2014, i need to manage my finances better. Use lesser credit cards and use more cash instead.

I am looking forward to Mery's baby girl. I am sure she will be as pretty as her mommy.

I also hope that my wish for white xmas can be fulfilled. ^^

Hope for a big bonus in March!

Hope that more recognition can be given to me in work and more people can see and know me.

or i just have to hope that i can find a better job elsewhere so i dont have to pray for that promotion that i dunno if will come to me at all.
