The Presents Saga

I'm turning 25 soon! Gosh...that's like 1/4 of a century already! 5 more years & it'll be the big 3-0. For the past 1 month, I've been thinking of ways to celebrate my special day. A trip overseas? Get THAT Gucci bag? Tiffany's jewellery? Girls' famous best friends...READ: DIAMONDS? Well oh well, I decided that the birthday prezzies gonna come in 3 installments.

First, it's this lovely Michael Kors' Ladies Chronograph timepiece. Didn't really cost me a huge bomb larr....still affordable. :) Was thinking to get a Guess ...but realise it's too common & kinda "exaggerating". Armani's too much of a man & I already have a couple of DKNY watches. I was looking for something that's LIKE a bling bling..so I settled for this one that has Swarovski crystal bezel. It was really a love at first sight. :)




Stay tuned for the upcoming 2 birthday treats! 25th birthday worr...so I shall spend it all in glory. Hahaha!

Welcome 2008

Another year has passed...just like that. If you ask me how has 2007 been for me, I'll say that it was one roller coaster ride..& I couldn't wait to move on to 2008. :) I think I'll even name the year 2007 as my prosmicuous year! Looking back...everything was worth remembering. Let's see:

-I travelled the most in 2007. I stepped my foot in Bali, Melbourne, Sydney, KL & Phuket. Each destination brings back great memories. I even went for my first solo trip overseas (Well..KL sounds overseas enough!). Hopefully, I get to visit more places in 2008 & travelling alone proves just as much fun!

- Attended the most number of weddings in a year. From my 2 cousins, my colleagues (Ayu, Tini & Catherine), my friends (Charlene, Hamizah & Sandra) to Maria's very own elder sister...gosh...that's a total of 9 weddings! And people already started asking when's my turn. Sighs...wait people, wait. I haven't even met The One. :)

-Made lotsa new friends. Go on dates. Make merry. Dinner gatherings. Catch up with my kakis. You all know who you are. Thank you...for being there for me through my ups & downs. Without my dearest friends & colleagues, I bet it will be harder than I can imagine it will be. Started year 2007 with a bad note..& I'm glad I end it fantabulously. :)

-Work took a slight change & I get to lead my team on shift basis. It's indeed a career progression & though stress is always there..the "kids" getting on my nerves...I do enjoy what I'm doing SOMETIMES. :) Maybe the new year has something bigger in store for me.

-Changed my image quite a bit. More outgoing, more happening. I'm still grounded, don't worry. I dyed & permed my hair for the first time in my life. People are saying I look better when I'm single than when I was attached. Hahaha! I pamper & treat myself well. Got a laptop, did more spa sessions, shopped alone...& I feel so happily independent & self sufficient.

In short, 2007 was really one hell of a year. I guess...God put me to a test & I'm glad I manage to survive. It's a case of...what doesn't kill me will make me stronger. :) I hope...in 2008, life will just get better & may happiness be with me. Insyallah.

P/s: Oh, I MAY stop blogging altogether..or won't update as often anymore. It's been 2 years now..time to "retire". Hehe....
