Mid month November! Come on!
Nov. 15th, 2015 06:51 pm- Toothpaste Official Count - one and a half month usage! Clocking off at 4/11/2015 - pretty good I say for one that began on 19/09/2015.
- Got my new baby after a year and a half! Hello! I'm clearing Hammerwatch and Witcher 2 - (OTL they implemented the Gerald is broke eternally trope), and making a resolution to GET one game only after clearing it. In a bid to save cash wwwww
- Survived a pretty mad week at work, that was nailbiting at its best ORZ. Now to kill more hydras.
- Pandora shoot was done, and it was interesting to do a shoot of this nature! Went to a dog cafe at Pandan Indah, (S Garden Cafe) - personally grossed out but the husky, Oscar was adorbs. But eh, at least I can say I been to a dog cafe once lol. Food was food, so no complaints. We were starving. =P
- Verdict for SPECTRE - SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY THE ANTAGONIST WAS DOING ALL OF THIS FOR A LAME REASON? Oh, thank god they kept the cat. XD. Writing on the Wall was really nice, and memorable - the last song I remembered was You Know My Name. The OP cracked everyone up.
- Verdict for Crimson Peak - ........7/10. Tension building at its best. The rest? Not so.
- Penang trip - made the best out of it lol. Went horseriding, sat on a boat in the middle of epic haze, and sat on a trishaw. The sound of the sea is the most calming. A trip that was all gratis? Made up for the strained parts.

Achievements for the past week!
Oct. 17th, 2015 09:39 pm1.Mopped the entire house!
This deserves an achievement of it's own because all these years I can't seem to mop properly or collect enough dust - so when I decided to funnel frustration and rage to doing something productive, I decided to mop the floor, and collected quite a lot of dust - at least I'm on the path of doing it correct!
Now I need to keep my practice up for this. It's tiring, and I do it best without any interference....
2.Started on CF 2015
....HAHAHAHAHA. Decided to drag one costume out for laundering, better now than never. The second one is on it's way. God bless it.
3.Posture
Need to make it a habit to keep standing up straight. >_>. Won't go and raise the dead on why and what - but gah. It's not easy considering my tendencies to flop on the couch and just potate - but welp. There's some improvement, but I need to keep it on.
4.Kept blogging
Kindan Kyuuketsuki and the Dance with Devils post up on my other otome blog!
5.Crimson Peak movie
Planning to watch with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Achievements for the past month!
Oct. 11th, 2015 11:13 am1. Snagged two free Body Shop lotions (was in the vicinity of Pavilion and AEON) worth RM21.90 each. Could be one more if we do pass by Curve today. It's non greasy for a start, so feeling really good about it.
2. Cutting Down Toothpaste Achievement
Proud to say that after.....almost 3 weeks, the tube is 1/2 full! By now, if I used the advertising recommended dosage, the tube would be 1/4 full. Pretty cheerful about it now that I'm used to the not feeling the minty aftertaste that I'm addicted to.
New Tube: 19/09/2015
Now: 11/10/2015 - still 1/2 full!
3. Managed to wheedle a Vivienne Westwood handbag from relatives! It's a eternally classic design that should last for the next decade or so. Mum's proud because she was the one who spotted the design and showed me (I liked another design, but this was nicer) and my relatives were giving it the stamp of approval. Score!
4. October Yoga Session
The instructor ran a battery of stretching asanas, and I managed to follow each asana with not much body ache. That was one hell of a good sweating session, and omg yay I'm used to the exercises!
5. Sold two Miku costumes! Extremely glad I managed to sell off the Sandplay Miku! (Since that took a huge chunk of my box space) Hoping to sell off Homura - cross fingers! Alternatively would give Homura to my cousin, since tis a pain to sell it off URGH.
6. Managed to get off my butt and start clearing some things! Gave Yizhen the Bath and Body Works Sleep lotion and the Quiet Night Body Shop mist which I wasn't using+didn't like the smell. Next would be clearing some of the lace stock I don't need for Zymz, and I need to get my butt off and start prepping for CF.
7. After two years of not prepping tuna sandwiches, did the whole thing from A-Z (sans the smashing up since I was chopping the vegetables up). Note to self - slice three thin slices of onions, and finely chop up (make sure the knife is sharp). One whole tomato and half a cucumber for vege-add ons. Slice thinly.
8. Revived the otome/drama CD review blog done in collaboration with Nao and Sam! Incoming posts would be about Kindan Kyuuketsuki series and probably otoges from the previous decade! Pay a visit here at https://shukujonosusume.wordpress.com/!

Lifestyle change - Observations!
May. 24th, 2015 02:42 pmIt took me some time, but thank you. Thank you so much for that birthday party, and for all the wonderful presents.
It will be a memory I will always, always treasure.
Anyway on yoga classes.
Pleasantly surprised over the improvements that you slowly gain after each class! Initially I couldn't sit in seiza without feeling the agony, but now after regularly sitting in seiza to do ujjayi - my legs got used to it.
Plus the plank poses and one arm balancing poses, you can see the stark differences now! partly because hey, one needs to find the right posture first LOL).There's still the issue of my left arm and right leg balance, but hey, it's at your pace.
Somewhat glad that I started sweating easily more, it was a running joke that I was a robot since my pulse can barely be felt,and rarely sweated.
Also starting to find it easier to do housework. Last time I was having the devil of a time to mop the floor, but now my grip's less intense and more relaxed, and the mop just moved and collected dust.

There's this weight in my chest.It leads to discomfort.
And it leads to a wonderful headache if you ruminate too much on it.
The need to unlearn a lifetime of bad habits is not easy. Especially when you have been used to the mentality of "working hard, you will get the results that you wish for." Or "living up to expectations."
Change doesn't happen overnight. You do not take one yoga lesson and a few pick up sessions on your own and expect to be immediately happy. Change is not easy. Change takes effort, and support from people.
I'm on the path. It will not be easy, but nothing comes easy.
It took me yesterday to truly realize that there was so much self loathing, and the incredible amount of rage I possessed that initially was my driving force, but all it left was a slowly burnt out husk of a human who was crying for someone, anyone,something or anything to save her.
So the question is, what do I want to do? There's a part of me that yearns to make a difference in the world. To spread happiness. There's also me who wants to make something memorable - a something that inspires someone to pick a said item that I like and would genuinely hope they would enjoy as much as I did. There's also me who wants the people I love to be happy and content.
To be able to say sincerely, that I'm thankful for what I have.
This is what I can safely say for now.

brunch with a friend
May. 4th, 2015 03:46 pm"Burning out? It's definitely stress problems. I did think on this before, and it's definitely our generation's issue. We been exposed to so much conflicting views, and we think too much. The previous one was more of get things done, and don't think much."
I ask, "Why?"
"Perhaps that they want a better life, they had a family of many, and it's either that or stay on town. Times were different then. It was just do it."
The most successful person may be the most unhappiest person. It's all about learning the right coping mechanism.
"I don't think its you disliking your job. It's you disliking the lifestyle of the workplace. I'm gonna give you the cheesiest seven words advice on life - "life's a journey, not a destination." You know what's the issue and you are trying to change, and I can see that you are better from the last time we met. You're more social, a little less eccentric, and you look more at ease."
"There's no such thing as multitasking, it's you just doing one thing at one minute. Also learn that you can't make everyone happy. There's this bunch of leaders - Stalin, Hitler and Mao. They tried to make their people happy, and look where it got them."
"..and how did they try to make them happy?"
"One tried communism, the second tried Nazism, at the expense of Jews being treated as non-humans, and the last one tried the Great Leap Forward. You know how it ended."
"Terribly."
"Exactly. So why try to make everyone happy? I think you know it yourself."

Hard Reset - Change
May. 3rd, 2015 05:40 pmI never thought I would pick up Dreamwidth again after ....two years of inactivity? Twitter is the new Livejournal. Everyone's there, recreating communities that Livejournal used to have.
People will always crave for that feeling of belonging. Anyone who claims the contrary will have their pants undergoing instantaneous combustion.
This is me being nostalgic about the past. Livejournal had a lot of wonderful memories, and I will not lie that I do miss those days.
However, times change. People learn to adapt, for the better.
I went through all my past entries, and my goodness, I was a bucket of angst and rage. And I was horribly, horribly stressed.
There were a few breakdowns due to a fuckton of issues, that happened a bit too frequently, and this round? I decided that enough is enough, and I want to curb it. I want the me that could bounce back from anything. I don't want to be a person who worries over small little things. I want to be a person who can bravely stand up against any adversity.
I want to be happy.
And I hope, that this is a start to slowly begin change. For the better.
