Greetings! =x
Today's the 9th day of Year 2009.. things have been going great for me since the year started off..

1) I'm 48 days away from being back at BBDC! Disqualification period: 27 Feb 2008 - 26 Feb 2009
Since my appearance in The Subordinate Court No. 21, i have been disqualified from driving/riding for 1 year and fined a sum of S$1000. mistake being the moment of fun and excitement to ride someone else's bike without license and insurance. Lesson learnt and it wasnt the fine nor the ban that shook me up. surprisingly, it was the fear and tense that filled me when i stood before the microphone and pleaded guilty. MAY wipes her perspiration away and flashes a smile on her face.. she lets out a sigh of relief and tells herself "its soon to be over".

2) I have cultivated a postive attitude towards life, money, people, career and etc..

In the last few days of 2008, ive sweeped away the little devil in me. ive learnt to analyse and judge things in a more 'other's point of view' and positive way..
Life - is nothing but a cycle. my life has stopped since the day i left school in mid 2004. i did nothing productive and led my days through playing, sleeping, having fun. letting my mom, friends, loved ones down is a grave mistake. ive decided that it's time i move on and keep my life going again.
Money - is an essential. ive quit indulging in luxury. now, ive realise im such an expert in hunting down good deals and buying what's worth and necessary. been selling off stuff such as my guitar, creative speakers, gucci and LV bags, uzap. though minimal returns but least its better than leaving them on the shelves as their value depreciate. due to the economy crisis, it's time i cut costs and learn to be thrifty.
People - make great impact in our lives. be it family, relatives or friends they all play a part. understanding their stand and position (plight or joy) helps u to interact with them. communication plays a big role in relationships (friends or loved ones). i often drop msgs to friends asking bout their work/life. it doesnt cost much time or money to let someone know that u care.
Career - is an experience to everyone. be it the uncle who sweeps your void decks while you're in ur slumber or Warren Buffett (the richest man in the world).. their still doing their jobs. its a matter of job satisfaction thats starts and ends your day with a smile. i sorted out my thoughts and wanted to do something that i would create such job satisfactions for myself.

3) I have decided to pick up pet grooming as a future studies.
Choosing pet grooming has my aim wasnt an easy one.. after all that ive been through in accounts, olvls, schools.. im a really temperamental girl. i gain and lose interest really fast. ive pointed out my lack of interest in books and papers. therefore i realised i needed something hands on. choices left were only a handful. hairstyling, personal grooming, makeup, arts. and it struck me.. pet grooming. i enjoy time with furkids since i was a kid. it takes lots of patience and love for these lil fur animals to be a pet groomer. seeing them enter a shop with heavy locks on their coats and letting them leave with silky/fluffy coats will be a great satisfaction. moreover, allowing their owners to thank u and leaving smiles on their faces will be much pleasurable.

4) Jason and I have decided to get married in mid-late 2010.
Marriage is a really heavy word. if you're able to visualize, link these words up and you will get marriage. 'house, car, baby, wedding, honeymoon, money, pressure'. behind a tiring but enjoyable day of the wedding ceremony comes these questions and words. money is the lead above them all. at the age of 22 and 20, many singaporeans will not have the ability to have a proper marriage without depending on their parents. Jason has been independent (money, life, problems) since he was 16. and we will need to save up more to fulfil our marriage dreams. some might say.. 'why not just pay $28 dollars and rom'. though through the generations, traditions had been forgotten and omitted, parents would still wish to see the younger generations host a wedding ceremony. pressure sets upon us..

5) I will be starting work at Swisspro again on the coming monday.
Swisspro contacted me last night and offered me a job at their main office at Jalan Kilang Barat. Pay being $9/hr with flexible hours and days. i used to work with them as a roadshow promoter at westmall back in Aug 2007. i enjoy working with them as the boss is an american. their really flexible and friendly with their staff. will be starting work on monday on the marketing side and after i complete their customer database, i'll be moving on to help them out with their inventory. hope things will go smoothly and i'll enjoy working there. =)

it's been really a long while since ive posted such a detailed and long-winded post. well, summarizing it all... im having a wonderful 2009. if any of you need a listening ear or would like to share your problems, dont hesitate to email/sms/call me alright? hope u guys out there would lead a life u want and live it to the fullest.

since i'm always lost at what to blog about, i'm more than eager to share my point of view on your problems.. feel free to tag your problem or email them to me. if you feel that the solution or advice might help others out there, please state if you're willing to let me post them.
