card #2 with Liza..
nah... my accomplishments are BIG... yup, i'm that confident of myself aka thick skin, oblivious, in my own world ... wahahaha
i'm the forever dependent eldest daughter of 蔡妈咪 and jiejie for the 3As whom they can go to for anything and everything... this tells me that i'm responsible, resourceful, approachable, reliable... in other words, super goody two shoes... sometimes, i do wish i'm not...
i'm an extremely lucky to meet Mrs Mano and Lina who guided me and appreciated my strength & the work my team of amazing teachers, huimiin, ain, mdm zakiah, aster and I did back in JPS... gave me 3 promotions within the first 8 years of work...
i'm also super fortunate in the friends category... i somehow have the talent to choose and keep amazing friends even though i always feel that i do not know how to approach them and be there for them when they are down, dont know what's appropriate to ask and say, so most of the time, i keep quiet or talk a lot about myself instead... but i hope you all know that i'm also always there for you... i will confirm make time for all of you one...
21 August (Fri)

7 Aug (Fri)
6 Aug (Thurs)
woke up to the first ring of my alarm but body felt unusually heavy so for the first time on a work day, i pressed the snooze button... i knew something was not right when i dozed into a deep sleep in that 5 minutes...
it was a 20 minutes of blacking out and waking up to alarms at 5 minutes interval to send out the few messages to colleagues... i knew the blackouts werent because i was too tired cos i had a 2 hours+ nap the afternoon before and could still fall asleep at 11pm the night before...
doc said that it could either be my medication or that i was lacking in sugar / potassium ... after some thoughts.... i think it could be iron??? cos it did feel like the blackouts i had back in sec & jc days when i was anaemic...
this is really a year of poor health, physically & mentally, and aging... =S
5 Aug (Wed)

the queue @ daiso vivo was scarily long... so went to the one @ Chinatown Point instead... spent 1.5 hours slowly browsing through each and every shelf of items... pure joy of shopping alone.... wahahahaha....
i'm such a good packer... managed to arrange all these into the yellow meow meow bag...
used one of the crate boxes from ThreePpy as my new art box...
used google to translate the unknown phrase... it's German and it means "but the other half is nicer" ... awww... 误打误撞... such an apt box to house my art materials... individual art style shouldnt be standard, it should be unique and exclusively...
now my art materials can sit prettily and neatly on my work desk instead of being hidden in toyogo box in the store room...

luv u mummy !!!
