I love my time

Hello all,
I don't mean to brag, but I really love my time now. I am so grateful for everyday. I wake up alive, and I wake up not slaving myself.

After I officially stopped going to the office (I quit), my mind has been very active trying to think what I can do, what I want to do. My yoga teacher used to tell me: "good things will come if you allow it".

Currently I am doing several things at the same time:
1. Getting my pipe fixed....kind of major and involves hacking...but it should be done by this week.
2. Answering phone calls and SMS for the yoga centre I go to.
3. Getting an interview for a virtual recruiter role, office is based in Dubai.
4. Going for as many yoga classes as I can.
5. Spending time to fetch mom/niece whenever they need me.
6. Researching on vegetarian dishes, this week I will learn about chickpeas and aubergine.
7. Finishing Paulo Coelho books, currently still reading "The Pilgrims".

Imagine I can't do all this if I was still stuck in the office. Doing things others asked me to do...saying yes to all clients and my boss even I know the job is impossible. I hope I won't go back to that kind of life again...selling my time, energy and soul in exchange of money.

Here is an article which inspired me few months ago that made me plucked up my courage to resign: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/

As of today, I am not ashamed to tell you: yes, I love my beautiful life.

Goodie Bags

I have been out of the corporate world for close to a month. How time flies!!
This was an initial little business I wanted to do. Making goodie bags for girls, boys, or even adults. However, I am too shy to tell anyone. So I am not sure how would I get any business.

Anyway, almost every week there are something new. New ideas, new people telling me things, or old people telling me new things. It goes on and on.

I don't have any expectation, just let my life surprise me. I wake up not knowing what will happen next.

I am happy to say..after 3 months plus of staying here, I finally able to sleep. I had been sleeping 2 nights without interruptions.

Here are my initial batch of goodie bags.

Once A Year

Today I want to compile a list of things I would like to do once a year:

1. Dental check
2. Health check
3. Hammam spa (i love this Turkish bath and gommage in Bangsar Village, it is not cheap that's why I think once a year is good and i can have something to look forward to. I heard they will be opening one in Publika).
4. Crabs eating with sis.
5. Liver and gallstone flush (i think the last time i did it was 2010, it's time...)
6. Book fair..be it the one in KL Convention or places like Kelana Jaya or The Mines..i want i want...but if i am really deprieved, i will go to BookXcess in Amcorp Mall.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for me. I used to donate blood once a year, but the last time i was agitated by the people in the blood bank, don't think i want to go again.

My New Life-2012

OK, I am back...by popular demand...errr...I mean...one demand...and you know who you are!

So what's going on lately? I work from home every Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the working days I work 8am-5pm. Why? Because I am the driver to my niece. :)

I still go on with my yoga classes and postcrossings.
Driving is getting better...but there are a few more scratches....

So far in 2012 I have been to Jakarta, Bangkok and Singapore. Hope there are more to come.

I still need to work

Dear all,
I might not be able to resign after all. :( So I won't be as free as you and I thought.
If I have made some prior promises before that I already forgotten, please verify with me again. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I am still in shock and trying to cope from the shock.

Birthday

Suee came to see me yesterday to celebrate my birthday. We went to Ichiban Boshi. We had some nice food.

She ordered an ankake soup and it was delicious. She said she will try to cook it one day.

We shared a nice sashimi over rice. It was with sesame oil, soy sauce and some chillies, so chinese style!

I got a nice soap from Kaleidoscope and a cute matryoshka ceramic dish and some capsule stickers. Thanks Suee and Huang Mei Li!!

Jobless life--Coming Soon

I think most of you cannot imagine a life without a job. Ya, it doesn't sound very healthy, but if this is used appropriately, it will be rewarding.

I know it will be rewarding.

I will have a lot to do. Estimated date: 20 Dec 2011?

I am looking forward.

what have i been doing, part 2.

Yes, most of you know that I am not working again. This week has been an eventful week. After a difficult time, I am once again free as a bird. So this week I went to book fair at KLCC. Before that a guy from Fiverr asked for a message to be photographed with Petronas Twin Towers. I get paid for $4, Fiverr gets $1. I gave him this picture and he was happy.

I bought a lot of books and some karaoke DVDs this week and I am happy about it.

Today I drove all the way to Cheras and got lost. Yeah, what's new. So I met Dave outside of Leisure Mall and he guided me back to his place to park his car there, and then we were ready for KLPac. I love KLPac.

Some pics from KLpac. We went there to enjoy the scenery, and we had fun playing Rummikub there. I won the game :)

what have i been doing?

hey friends..
2 of you asked how come I did not update my blog. I am sorry that i have not been doing updates for almost a month. Me Bad.

For those who know, yes, I have been jobless for some weeks but that does not mean I am very free. I spent my days visiting my ex-colleague who stay nearby. We go TTDI park, we swim, we do yoga, we play Fatal Frame II(Crimson Butterfly). OK, I also finished a The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen and now reading Eating Right for Your Type.

I have to tell you this. My life is FANTASTIC!

I know I cannot be a Lady of Leisure for a long time so I will start working soon, say September 2010. I am joining one of my previous company as a Consultant.

:) Hope everyone is happy and healthy. Will blog again soon.
