Wannabe Barista

I had one hell of a weekend. That's right. One hell of a adventure that was.

(I take it that if you have been following my blog, you would know by now, my "adventure" is in no way, related to being fun)

So I spent the longest weekend of my life, helping my sister prepare for a tender submission. Trust me, it was one hell of a tender. We called it the mother of all tenders. Beats all the exams I have taken in my life hands down.

In a very sleepy stressed state, around 4am in the morning, I came to a realization. That's probably the wisest thing, (at least to some) I've ever said in my life.

"Life is too short for me to be counting how many zeros are there in a million"

And still in a sleepy but not so stressed state, at 4pm in the evening, I still think it's true. That's really the last thing I wanna do.

All I ever wanna be is to secure myself a job as a barista in the coolest coffee shop and it would be a big bonus if that coffee shop could face a deep blue sea.

(It must be a coffee shop! Nothing else. I have it all planned. In case you want to recommend any)

(Warning: Self gloating moment. Go play far far!)

A wise man once said,
"If you can't convince them; confuse them"

And that's exactly what I did! And did that super awesomely.

Nailed, seized and sealed it!

Finally over with my advance everything crap in Jakarta. What some more advanced? Bring it on!

And in your face, old man!

Oh how I miss my morning coffee! Haven't had good coffee in ages!! All I've had in the last few weeks is coughing and coughing! (Rhymes? Maybe not, who cares!) totally losing it

And on that note, I'm coming homeeee!

I think I did the meanest thing today.

I went to a shop, and the sales girl who came out to serve me, was crying. She had tears all over n she was really, clearly crying.

And I did nothing.

I wanted to ask her if she's ok, but I didn't. I was figuring out the sentences in my head, but nothing came off my mouth. I just asked her what I needed and left.

That makes me a heartless bitch. I'm sure. Can't get it off my mind now.

I don't know if it was in my place to ask. I don't know if I was in her shoes, Would I want someone to ask me.

I rather not. Or maybe I do, I really don't know.

I could have at least told her it'll be ok. Sigh.

Full-time-working-housewife/mother is mostly how I think of myself these days. Yeah, so life's been incredibly busy. But today N sent a photo of me from some years back. I looked at the girl smiling back at me and for a moment wondered - am I still her? Then I decided, I'm determined to still be her. F*ck the emails and calls from work. I did something I haven't done in a long time.

Blasted music and sang my lungs out (read: screeched out of tune and pitch).

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

I feel 5 years younger already:)

Three years today..

Today is Valentines day!  Scratch that.

Today, three years ago, is the day I started my journey with company H.

The past three years have been a hell of a ride. I have gone through many challenges physically and emotionally.

But here I am today, started the day looking lost just like how I did three years ago ;)
(and you would think things change! somethings just don't :p)

Past three years have taken me places, thought me valuable lessons and made me a
bitchier   better person! (or so I hope...)

In the last three years, I have traveled at least 16 countries, more than 20 major cities, more than 30 international airports for transits and have delivered more than 40 trainings successfully.

I may not be able to afford all the handbags in the world (yet!), nor retire anytime soon; but I am grateful for where I am today.

I speak a lot of bull and shit now. But no, I still don't speak Chinese. That alone calls for a victory dance! xx
