Banana Leaf Rice

It is my first time, driving all the way from my work place with my supervisor and coursemate just to have banana leaf rice. It is located at Puchong.

 

The experience was great although it was tiring at the same time because on the same day, I travelled a lot – while still working. Well, if it is not because of food, there is no need to travel far. Curry banana rice.. yum~

 

Finally, a photo of me with curry! =D

 

Seriously, it was a great place to have good spicy food with lovely people. It was first visit of Shu Huan for banana leaf rice and she seemed pleasant with the food, except the ‘yogurt milk drink’. She seemed not enjoying it. Look at the expression! Classic. Hehe..

 

‘Moreh’ in tamil.

 

The curry was nice especially curry chicken. Believe it or not, I have not taken any chicken drumstick ever since Chinese New Year. It is my favorite part of the chicken but.. well, I am sticking to vegetarian food lately – because it is cheap. Like RM2 per meal.

 

 

However, I realized I am losing weight and I can’t afford to hear any ‘under-weight complaint’ especially from parents and closed friends. Even my supervisor said so =_=

 

  

Thus, today I had a real fulfilling meal, till loss concentration in driving back journey. Don’t worry. I am safe home =)

 

P/s: Body slightly feverish and get ulcer. Is it too much of curry? :(

Pampering Myself

Lately, I am busy and occupied with my internship (working in hospital as a counselor), thesis writing and some personal issues. I didn’t aware that my weight has dropped from for about 1.5kg. Well, no wonder my pants and shirts are loose.

 

Of course, I am not talking about my weight loss as that is not the point for this blog post. Realizing that I have been neglecting my own body condition, I started to take notice and find ways pampering my own body. It begins from the outer physical care, which is the skins.

 

I was shopping with Shu Huan yesterday and without being aware of the time, we spent almost an hour at Watson finding products that my body needs. Well, I am glad with the after work shopping as I get myself something important: Apple flavor body scrub! Also clay mask and items like in the picture (except the mug. One of my housemates accidentally broke my mug. So, I have a NEW one as replacement. yay!).

 

 

It has been ages since the last time I made my own body scrub (using salt). I found myself dancing in the middle of the road, couldn’t wait any longer for a nice, soaking bath. I know my tired body need a good time just to be pampered.

 

I realize that knowing how to love and spend time for ourselves is important because it creates good mood and attract positive energy. When the body is happy, the mind will be happy too. And when we are happy, people around us will feel the cheerfulness on our faces. Just like this -------------> =)

 

Frankly, I have been neglecting my own needs since the past few months, worrying about my personal issues and studies. My mind was mostly trapped in the past or travelled too for to the future, but hardly in the present. I have not been paying much attention to myself which I think it’s a big mistake because I am no longer the Kelly Tan which I used to know and have. Little passion, enthusiasm and craziness can be found. Hmpm, mana boleh kan?

 

Being aware of my situation, I’ve decided to give myself an off day just to spend time for myself and my own needs. I threw away all my books and laptop, hugs my rommate, bathed and scrubbed my body, singing whatever songs I had in mind; cleaned my face with new cleansing oil, did hot clay mask for my face, massage my hair, trim my finger nails and snoozed from 10pm till morning.

 

Like I expected, the effect is awesome! I become more energetic, happier, calmer and fulfilled in the next day. I am able to focus and crack jokes with my supervisor and colleagues. Lol.. and guess what? I received compliments that I look great today (emm.. maybe because I am wearing pink shirt and black skirt?) *flip hair*

 

Another happy news is, I am able to see my issue better without actually running from it as I can see there is no point isolate myself with the problem by being sad and depressed alone. I realize I have fear of acknowledging my feeling and express it out to people whom I care and love because I am scared of being rejected or treated negatively. Sometimes, I’ll worry if I will hurt, disappoint or irritate them. This is something which I want to change and improve.

 

All these happen when I don’t give priority to my own feeling and thinking. I used to care for people more than myself and I realize that is a mistake. When you don’t take care of your feelings and never let others to understand them, they will never be aware of it. As a result, conflict and misunderstanding occur, and we might be taken for granted, treated unfairly or inappropriately (with or without intention).

 

So starting from now onwards, I have decided to pamper and take good care of myself while focusing on my 6 weeks of remaining internship and thesis writing time. Gosh! 6 weeks!!? Time flies oh time flies >.<

 

Of course, I wouldn’t forget people whom I love as I will consistently sending messages to show my care, love and support.

 

And I don’t know how this eggie can stayed till 2am just to blog and not sleeping when she said she wanna take good care of herself? *get up from the chair and run to bed*

 

Night… =P

Definition Of Love?

 

 

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

- Corinthians

 

 

P/s: I appreciate God for allowing me to be in love and having the ability to express love to the person whom i care most. Though I am not sure will I be able to give and receive love from the person again, I am still thankful with whatever I have now. I appreciate the whole journey which we’ve gone through and may God guide us to the road of real happiness and fulfillment.

Me and Mini Exhibition

Just this morning, my partner and I conducted a mini exhibition in our department with the title of ‘What is stress?’. This is our very first project and I actually feel very excited about it. We did all the drawing by ourselves.

 

 

Yes, we drew all those drawing by ourselves and Shu Huan is the expert in this. She can draw cartoon very well in a short period of time time and I seriously impress with her talent

 

The respond from the visitors is so far good. The staff in the department even requested to extend the exhibition duration. Supposely, it should end by today but then we agreed and decided to leave the work longer. I am glad that our work are being appreciated.

 

 

Well, I can’t write long post for now as I still need to work tomorrow. When you have to work while at the same time studying, it’s indeed tiring and all you wish to do is to dive in immediately into the blanket, lying peaceful on bed and sleep.

 

I shall do that now… like NOW. Good night everyone

 

P/s: By the way, I am having my intern in a government hospital. So, expect more stories from this setting in future posts.

Blogging From New House

Hi guys,

 

How are you doing? It has been almost a week I have not posted anything. I know, I know. I have promised to update my blog like few days ago but I failed to keep my promise. I am sorry =(

 

There are so many preparations which I should do and one of the biggest attention I should give is the house moving part. It is not tiring but full of excitement and curiosity because I have never stayed at a rented house in new area. I am glad that Shu Huan and I are roommate and teammate for the house and internship. Or else, I can feel it will be boring.

 

Tomorrow will be my first day of work in hospital. Frankly, I don’t know what to expect as I don’t have a clear picture of my job scope. One thing for sure, I will meet lot of staff, nurses and patients. I am going to give my best smile tomorrow to everyone I meet. It will be my best new day of the year, I guarantee you..

 

So, I should write less and experience more. Wish me luck!

 

P/s: Wish you have a great and happy day at school, college, university and working place. Let’s rock our first Monday, shall we?
