Hola!


So basically I've worked today, and will be working tomorrow for a super random job (yes, only 2 days).

Telemarketing. 

It was a random opportunity, and I accepted it for the experience.

Got reminded by March 2011 where I got my first full time job (or any job ever) by working at Maxis, as a Credit Control Analyst, to call up customers who has overdue Broadband payment. I actually went through more training than giving calls myself (as I left the job not long after for college), hence the experience of just learning from the senior colleagues was really, fulfilling. Corporate working environment is really different.

Back to the job.... I had fun. I had free coke. I had nice guidance. I enjoyed listening to random ring tones.
Although in the beginning I feared, at the end I.... became a master. 

yes, i am now a master.

The above depicts what my day was like.

The girl is me: on one hand I hold a broken heart of my close friends', and on the other I hold a question mark as I don't know what in the world the heart breaker intentions' is. Whatever his intention is, I so don't agree.

My legs are quavering upon the shaking sea, as I stumble back and forth between the harsh realities of life.
Still, the bright sun shines upon me; reminding me that light overpowers the darkness, forever.


The small icons are what I've seen through my eyes today:

1. A close friend of mine whom got her heart so broken, by someone I used to respect with all my heart. Now I don't even want to look at him anymore.
2. A sinking friendship that I tried to save, but I can't anymore.
3. Life is fragile. Visiting a sick patient in the hospital today remind me of my late grandfather who moved on from life due to a stroke last year. I cried.
4. I can't stand a love of half the heart which is bigger, and the other smaller. It's just weird. I need to learn how to accept.
5. If you see closely, you can see a "cross" in the background.
   Despite everything that happens, I'm still comforted by Jesus who never fails me. A university offer from Sydney U came today, and I'm really soooo happy about it.
   Plus I am grateful today for Paul who talked to me through the day, and Sam who sat a bus with me back from Pyramid. Grateful till after death.

Welcome to ze messy chamber of Claire.

As you can see, it's about 6 something now.. and my room is still messy.

The plan to clean it up since morning, has only amount to 5% success.

I'm a typical OCD person... if I clean, I'll clean till every part is perfectly fine.
If I don't.... I'll just leave the room until the time necessary to enter (bed time).

Such a bad habit right?
Okay, 2012 is a year where I must break it.

Happy Tuesday Night everyone ! :p 
(the randomness)

What is your passion?

Or what do you perceive to be something worth the fight for?

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:22

-

This morning, my beautiful friend in the picture above made this recent picture I took to be her profile picture. I posted " too much joy when a picture i capture turns out beautiful ! :') " as my status then.

Because it's true, I really find joy in taking pictures that make me feel satisfied, joyful and accomplished. Yet in addition, I also have a strong passion for music, for graphic designing.... and even law.

-

On the other hand, I thank God for my 1st university offer today. It will be a hard time to decide. But isn't it common that some of the most important things in life throws us hard times upon the final decision? Just so we will take the step that we are assured to not be "the road not taken" ?

But take heart, have a light burden, and just believe.

Cheers to our future, which we are destined to succeed.

January 15th, 2012.

Going to Sunday Services remind me of how Great God is.

Sometimes it's hard for me to talk about it, but most of the time I'm hyper, happy, jumpy, delighted, blessed; and it's all because of the greatness of God.

As real as I can guarantee, Jesus is real and He definitely wants to have an intimate relationship with you.

Not being preachy, but just being honest about something that I am assured of ! :')

Spend the whole Saturday afternoon baking cookies for Chinese New Year at Carolynn's.

With her mum, aunt, and herself ! A delightful experience as I don't really bake in reality. It was fun being the oven timekeeper, and it was funny when our first batch of cookies turned out differently than expected.

From measuring ingredients, to mixing, waiting, slicing, baking.... everything was fun to me. I shall bug my daddy to buy an oven, hehehe.

Her family is all so warm and cheerful. Memorable experience indeed !

13/01/12 - I went to my 2nd concert of the year: FOSTER THE PEOPLE'S !!!!!

It was INCREDIBLE. My amazing friend above, Carolynn Kwan got 2 tickets free as a birthday present, and she was sooooo nice to bring me along! Plus her tickets were for Fanatic Zone (the zone closest to the stage, woohoo!)

To paint their song title on the tops above is also her AWESOME pawsome idea heheh ! I bet everyone knows Pumped Up Kicks ? My favorite song of theirs is actually I Would Do Anything For You yet it was too long, hence my 2nd favorite song (that only make it to the bonus edition of their album): Broken Jaw. When they played that song live, Carolynn and I were literally HYPED as we did not expect that coming! Such a beautiful moment.

After the whole concert, a stranger even asked to take a picture of us (identified as FTP fans, heh) because he wants to tweet about it. I even randomly found his tweet, and his blogpost !

Foster The People sounded AMAZING live, I found no flaws in the music they were playing, and Mark Foster's voice was as real as it can get. Plus, he's as adorable as he can look, hehehe. The only bummer is that as Carolynn and I were not that tall, therefore most of the time we were blocked by all the tall dudes and ladies in front of us! The crowd is as crazy as it gets, loads of pushing, domino effects, and at point I even fell (yet I thought it was funny).

Bumped into a few friends there, including my first ex boyfriend which I haven't met in 4 years, hahaha. Finally, a million thank you once again to Ms Awesomest Carolynn Kwan !

Today, I sold books with Paul and a bunch of college mates: Double parked for a few hours(as much as I dislike committing a minor illegal act)(dedicated ex-legal studies student, heh). Because apparently when we reached at 7 early AM, the whole stretch outside college was parked by cars! Le sigh right? Unbelievable?

Anyways... I was having an amusing dream... till my house phone placed directly beside my bed rang! Paul giving a wake-up call to me at 6am as I really need to get ready and going!

Reached at 7... initially selling at the bench outside college yet were shooed by the guards......... hence we have to come up with the "double park selling books scheme"....!

7am - 3pm plus: Sold 60% of the books (most are my friends') !
Super delighted as I never imagined being able to sell that much on the first day! You have no idea how many piles of books is with me, haha.

My goal is just to finish selling all the books, to maximize appropriate profit, suit consumers' interest, and be satisfied ! hehehe. Super grateful with other college mates that can tally together, share customers and share the "joy" of selling books. It's really a, new, experience.

Tomorrow: The final war begins!
"SAM BOOKS FOR SALE !" :D ....................... "lelong lelong !"

She's from KK (Sabah), I'm from KL.
I'm a December baby, she's a January baby.
I stole this picture, and I think she won't mind.
She is Laura, and I am Claire.

Hehehe. Just one of the most amazing people I'm blessed to have met in my life!
College brought us together, and since college is over we're apart. Super glad that random holidays like her visiting Genting, then hopping over to KL, allows us to meet again! First time in 2012, did you realize Laura? Hehehe.

One of the funniest thing is that we won't like it if either of us have changed.
Isn't it good to have close friend(s) to keep you grounded? *winks
