Bad Day

Yep, one of those days. Things didnt really go my way today. And things like this normally happen one following another, making a nice snowball there.
  1. I got up today heavy headed - means migraine is coming.
  2. Got up later than usual, so gonna be extra late for work. "Extra" because I am already late everyday :p
  3. Then before leaving the house, I spilled my water plant and I had to clean the mess. Extra extra late.
  4. I met with multiple traffic jams (the unusual kind). My 20 min ride become 1 hour today. Super extra extra late.
  5. Work was not so smooth either. Work started by being questioned by my boss for not revealing certain problems to him. Had my reasons though.
  6. Went to site to get something done. But there were some problems and we couldnt do the job we planned. So we have to go again tomorrow
  7. Of all days, we have a shipping thingy today. Oh, by the way, I hate shipping - worse part of my job I find so far. I hate the hassle and uncertainty of it. Emails flying up and down, documents searching, clarify this, clarify that, this info missing, that info don't match, call this guy, coordinate with that lady. And people I deal with are not polite. That's the worst thing. Sometimes I wonder if it hurts to speak nicely.
  8. I came back to office to realize my boss got into an arguement with one of his partners. Fine by me. But then he got me involved to clarify the issues to support his argument. I ended up trying to clarify while trying to make peace instead of standing on his side to help "fight the enemy". I still don't know how that is going to turn out because I did that during overtime. Oh well, we'll see tomorrow. Might get a wack but I don't care. Hehe
  9. Came home exhausted, migraine worse. Too lazy to pack food on the way because hard to find parking. So i bought 2 packs of maggie at the convenient store in the apartment and got charged RM2.20 for it. Wow... price rise again.
  10. During dinner, mum msg me to say Dad is not feeling well and my grandma had another fight with my uncle >.<

Ok, enough complaining. So much for my unfortunate events today. However, I'm still thankful for all that I have, esp the Lord in my heart. With that, I have remained calm throughout my day and I have yet to lose my temper. My expression might have been sulky (mainly because of my migraine, it really drives me down) but I still didnt find it difficult to remain polite and smile at someone when I need to, or saying 'thank you' to the shipping people. And now that I'm sitting comfortably at home, typing this blog peacefully, I'm thankful for a good resting place in a wild city like this :) Bout my job, at least I still have a job, so I really should be thankful. As for family, there may be things to "fan" for family sometimes, but at least I HAVE a family to worry about. I think its a blessing. And now that I think of my day, well... I guess its not that bad and I was making a big deal out of it.

I thought of a cute song to share. and one of my favourites too.

So... how's your day been?

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008.  I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today.  I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia.  ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market.  Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found.  Don't think its complete though.  Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog.  And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...
