Money Issues.

Money:

can buy you a house, but not a home.

can buy you a bed, but not a good sleep.

can buy you a clock. but not time.

can buy you a position, but not respect.
can buy you blood, but not life.

can buy you food, but not a good appetite.

can buy you insurance, but not safety.

can buy you a car, but not safe journey.

Money, in fact isn't the ultimate goal in life. It should not and must never be. Money isn't everything.

Of course money makes most things in life more comfortable. So, I heard one of the famous saying "Would you prefer crying in a Kancil or a Ferrari?" My thought is that, when you are already crying, would it matter what car you're in? Not for me at least.

Money makes the world goes round. Money separates the rich and the poor in such a sad way. The rich will never be satisfied with whatever amount of gold that they already have and they will dig more and more.

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless" (Ecclesiastes 5:10)
Well, I'm not saying that the rich people should stop and not continue to do whatever they are doing. Of course not. It's just rich people face higher chance of getting obsessed with money than poorer people, I would think. They become more critical in being thankful for the little things. Or at least that's what I have been seeing/hearing. Just a thought..

One of the things that I have been really thankful towards God is the fact that I was not born with a silver spoon. And I was raised knowing and believing that money isn't everything. I grew up believing that money must not be an issue that separates people. And I'm thankful that I became a person who is easily contented with whatever God has given to me so far.

Nick Vujicic said "You can either be angry because of the things you don't have or be happy of the things you have". Two choices. And I chose the latter one. It's not difficult, really. It's a choice that everyone (at one point of your life) had to choose.

I could be upset that I still don't have my own car, or a house (now that I'm 2X.. Okay, nvm..) or pay for a good holiday for both my parents, bring my grandma to China etc. But right now at this point of my life, I am thankful for all that I have. I have a mother that shares her car with me. At times, she rather walked to Kelly's school under the hot sun so that I could use the car to work. I am thankful for that. I am thankful for a father that supports me in all my decisions. Two sisters that I know at anytime when I needed them, they would drop all their issues and run to me. A brother in law who ever-willing to give me a hand in anything. A boyfriend whom never fails to make me smile. Kelly, who makes me see beauty in everything. I am thankful.

"Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have" (Hebrews 13:5)

Then when I first got this job, many people have looked at me in disbelief and they couldn't understand why did I settle for this career when I have more than just that. Of course working in finance related path pays more. No doubt about that. But when I hear all the stories about my collegemates earning a lot, first question that I would like to ask them was "Are you happy with your job? Is it stressful?" Yes, I want to have a stressfree job (and got it) Well, for me, money isn't the ultimate goal. My liking towards the career, my happiness matters more.

On another note, I like the new Ringgits la. I prefer it than the older ones. The colors are like so bright and nice. It's like fake money. Haha. Malaysia is not a perfect country. Nowhere near perfect. But I am thankful that I'm here and not somewhere else. I'm proud to know Bahasa Melayu (it is a foreign language to others). It's like learning French or Japanese and people usually brag about oh how they are loving it and how its a special skill bla bla. Bahasa Melayu IS a special skill also what. It's not like the whole world knows how to speak in it also. So people, be thankful that we know not just English or Mandarin or Hokkien. And also the fact that Malaysia is a summer all year long. Gotta love the sun.

God never make mistakes what right. So, it is the right thing that you and I are born in this country. Let's look at the bright side of Malaysia too :)

Ze Ring.

You must be wondering, this one also want to blog ah. Yes, I blog anout anything that excites me, sort of.

So, I finally got the ring.

Nothing big la. It's just I saw it few weeks ago, dropped it and took a while to find it back and return to the grumpy seller. Went home and kept thinking about it. Returned to the shop few weeks later, straight buy it and gave my widest smile to the grumpy man. LIKE A BOSS!

This is the perfect example of love at the first sight.

I kid you not.

:)

First Love Letter.

First saman. Another 'reminder' that I'm all grown up and have to pay by myself d. Haha. 

Just because I felt so lazy to park behind the lorong this morning, so I ended parking beside Infinity. And few minutes later, tadaaaa. I parked for like 30 minutes only and I was gonna leave office d. Joke la :D

Okayla. At least the person's handwriting is very nice.
I smiled the moment I saw this huge paper.

Life's good like that. All the ups and downs.

2D1N Kuala Lumpur: HTT's Annual Dinner 2013.

My very first company's annual dinner. 

Because this year they are having it in the HQ, we all get to make a trip down to mad city for 2D1N. Really short getaway but no one's complaining, right. 

So, let's get it started (WARNING: LOADS OF PICTURES AHEAD)

must-have-things-in-long-rides: fav smelly pillow, sweater, toilet paper, shades, socks (yes, i need to cover my feet to not freeze in bus)

the very confy seats we've got to enjoy.

two hours break at One U before proceeding to Sepang Gold Coast (which was like 2 hours away) Hersheys galleria, only in Mad City.

Arrived safely. Got a room all to myself NOT! Haha. Four peeps to one massive room. 

You will know it when Penang lang arrives. Very noisyyy!

Alicia, the person I sit next to in office.

The structure of the whole resort is a palm tree, hence the name of the resort.

The many pathways to the so many rooms that they have. 

View from ze room. The picture just doesn't do the justice la. It's breathtaking. The chalets were literally on the water. Can't see any beach area from my side :)

Door gift that was given :))

What I see from my bed.

More balcony's view.

I opened the closet and saw that the color was pretty so decided to be 'artistic'. Tadaaa, my party dress, necklace and bracelets. So colorful rightt.

The bathroom so huge. 

Dolled up for the event at the beach. 

My roomies, Alicia and Vivian, head of corporate sales.

Goofy-ing around with their props.

Alicia and Malik.

The weather was at its best. Not too sunny, and not too windy (so no hair flying everywhere)

I thought the table set-up was pretty decently classy. Gold always makes thing a lot classier.

The colorful set-up of the canopies. 

With so many guests, around 300, that is one small stage.

Face painting: rose (fav flower)

4 newbies of the company.

Vivian and I.

Food was just alright. Nothing to shout about. I've had better bbqs anytime.

Breakfast was heavenly, especially at this bakery section. I'm not a big fan of flour-y foods but their pastries were WOW. And I had yogurt. You would know if you have followed me on Instagram (which is so weird cos Salaku doesn't touch yogurt)

Breakfast with infinity pool's view. Too bad no time to swim in it. 

Each got an instant photo print-out.

HTT's Corporate Sales Team. Youngest in the team yo :)

Raining when we left. Gonna miss the place. Oh and they have the softest pillows and most comfortable blanket ever. 

Won a travelling bag and sunscreen from Singapore Airlines. Not that bad. Most of the prizes were return air flight tickets to Bangkok, Paris, Hatyai, Jakarta, Korea, Taiwan and any Europe destinations. All fully sponsored by the giant airlines: MAS, Emirates, Etihad, Singapore Airlines, China Airlines etc. Good thing I didn't win any of those air tickets. If not, go alone ma very sad. Of course we also have Iphone 5 and Samsung smartphones and Ipads for giveaways. And of course I didn't win any of those. If not, Instagram and Twitter friends sure know d. Haha. 

It was a great bonding time with my fellow HTT-ers. Here's to a good start for the company! :)

Short Getaway.

Where I will be in less than 24 hours time.

And I don't have to pay a cent for it. 

Company's treat, for all.

Thumb Down.

So, the manicurist injured my left thumb last night.

It was so painful that while having a conversation with my pregnant sister, I let out a really loud shout. 

Then, it started bleeding. 

This morning, woke up, still painful and still bleeding a lil.

I feel so "not complete" now that the thumb is down. 

Have a careful Thursday, everyone.
