Little Things in Life

It's the third day of Creative October 2013 and I am already dead tired. I have not been able to sleep till 2am since last Tuesday and it is really BAD!!

Creative October is one of our annual signature events whereby speakers are invited to conduct a sharing or workshop on topics which are not related to Interior Design. In fact, comparing to ID Week, this is actually an event where I can sort of relate more to myself.

This year, I have been really honored to be able to invite Michelle Teh from Nom Nom Media, a sub-company of Nuffnang to come to share about "Social Media vs. Lifestyle".

The sharing was light yet interesting. From my observation, the students and staff really enjoyed themselves, which is great!! It is definitely so much better especially comparing with the speaker on earlier day. Let's just not go into details for the earlier talk, as it is not going to sound nice.

When I first started blogging, I have always been really envy those bloggers who can just earn a living by just blogging. It seems easy, but it is definitely not easy AT ALL. You must be really passionate and maintain the consistency. Sadly, it happens to be quite difficult for me.

Anyway, starting blogging with the mindset of wanting to get famous and earn money is definitely not a good start.

After couple of years of trying (did I even tried?!), I finally figured out that blogging is just not my cup of tea. I can't even fulfill the simplest requirement - consistency. And so, I decided to give up and stop thinking about it. BUT, I have always remember Nuffnang, being such an important community for all the bloggers.

This round, when I was searching for blogging, I decided to engage Timothy Tiah, one of the founders of Nuffnang. Unfortunately, he was unable to make it due to some family reason. BUT, it was really kind of him to help to dedicate the task to his other colleagues - Michelle, which turns up to be a really great speaker!!

Somehow, I was thinking that, things really happened for a reason. Little things in life may not seems important, but one day, just one fine day, it is going to turn back and bring some impacts (regardless big or small) to our life.

It is really important to be appreciative on our daily life and be responsible to what we do and what we say, because I believe in karma. Things will always turn back to us at the most unexpected timing.

P/S: Correction to my previous post - Facebook vs. Blogging (http://newlife1126.blogspot.com/2013/10/facebook-vs-blogging.html), I have spoken with Michelle today over lunch, apparently the number of bloggers have been increasing on daily basis. Conclusion, probably it is only happening around my friends' circle.

Facebook vs. Blogging

Just clear the list of friends' blogs that I used to follow. Sadly, now there are only three left. Out of that three, there are only one who is still actively updating.

In Facebook, I have 1,100 friends and I can never finish reading my news feed.

Somehow I start wondering how many people are still blogging.

Nowadays, most people prefer to update their status or take a photo of themselves and it can be easily uploaded to Facebook at anywhere, as long as they have a smart phone and iPad which can connected to Internet.

For the past few months, every time when I felt like blogging, I was too lazy to switch on my laptop and start typing. I tried to download blogspot/ blogger application through App Store couple of months ago and there were no such apps.

Then, I write to download some diary apps and attempt to start writing through my iPad and somehow it just felt different comparing to me sitting down in front of my computer and type.

And yet, I do not feel like posting on Facebook because I think it was too public and I just feel weird to make such a public announcement at times.

I have always find that it is difficult to upload photos to blogspot, especially most of my photos are in my iPhone.

Somehow I felt that blogspot has not been improving along with the ever changing technology.

I have been seeing some China blogging platform where they allowed user to direct upload pictures to the blogging server and it would be so much easier for us to insert photos to our blog entry.

Anyway, it is just a random thought when I was clearing the list.

Life Update

This is my second blog post of the day. Well, since I am in the mood, might as well just write more huh? I would never know when is the next time that I might write again.

I am feeling so much better after my last blog. This shows the power of blogging. Although I am doubtful at times if anyone ever read my blog, but still it was extremely useful to help me to release my stress, tension and emotion.

Anyone, if anyone does read my blog, I just would like to have a little life update on myself.

I have friends who I can have dinner with, I can joke with, but all of them are my colleagues. I barely have any extra time to hang around or catch up with my uni friends or friends of other social groups.

I went shopping at least once a month, but my only shopping partner is my boyfriend, who has now became my fiance.

I have a bright career, but my average working hours is from 9am to 9pm, sometimes even go up to 12am.

I have regular exercise, I practiced yoga on weekly basis, but the class location is in my office and I get back to work immediately after my class.

I have irregular period.

I have dinner every night but the meals are irregular.

Conclusion: I have a normal yet unhealthy lifestyle. I have all the criteria of how a normal life should be like and yet all seems unhealthy.

Hurt

It has been awhile since I last blogged.

I have not been in the mood to blog, nor do I have the time to blog.

But, it has not been an exact good day for me.

Today, I have unintentionally hurt a friend of mine. A friend that I have never meant to treat him as such. He is one of the colleagues that I would never want to hurt. He has always been so kind, so supportive, so friendly and so helpful.

I was being rude, impatient, and I said things without thinking. Although things were said out of stress and I did not meant it. What was done cannot be done and the feeling sucks.

I has been trying so hard to control my emotion and today I just lost it. It should not happened and I shall not let it happen ever again.

I think it might be the hormone. I know my period is coming soon. Whatever. Stop giving myself excuses.

Just remember the mistakes and do not repeat it again.
