With love

When you're down, you feel like you need something to cheer youself up. You go to the mall and you look at all those clothes but still they don't make you happy. You go back home and start binging on snacks and yet, you still dont feel good about yourself. You go online and you read jokes but you dont seem to find anything funny at all. You open your cupboard and you see this little box sitting right in front of you. You take this little box and place it on the floor as you sit down yourself.



It's been so long since you opened that box up. It's been quite awhile since you put something in as well. You open up the box and you find all these folded pieces of paper.



Memories start flooding your mind. The times when you fell in love, when you made friends who became your closest friends today, when laughter always filled the room, the times we all cried together, the times we had fun playing games, everything. You open one piece of paper and you read what it said. It made you feel good. You decide to open another one. And another one.



You smile each time you finish reading a paper. Feeling better each time you open the next one. More and more papers you start taking out and reading them.



Soon, papers were stacking each other up. It covered a little patch on your floor. All those little notes made you feel so good about yourself. You start lightening up. You realise that each time you feel sad about something, these notes can make your day a wonderful one, knowing there were and are people who care for you. The best part of every note was it ended with



You fold those papers back and put it in back into the little container again. You smile at the fact that it actually fills up the whole box. You put the lid on and you put it back into the cupboard. You now feel appreciated and loved. Your day was never better.


One small note saying that you appreciate and love that person would make their day. Start taking out a pen and use a paper to write the little things you like about the person and how much you appreciate them. And always end it by saying, you love them. You never know you might always get a note back from them. Keep it in a box and read them when you're feeling down.

They made my day. Can you make theirs?

Feeling untouched

I miss it.
Actually I miss everything about it.
That night should have never happened but I'm glad it did in a way.
So why are things starting to fade?
I don't want it to, just so you know.
Everyday, I let memories run through my mind and all i can say now, it hurts.


Emo post. I know. Don't ask about what. Just, whatever.

MY FIRST PAYCHECK

The title of the blog says it all. I, Alanna Ong Min Quen, has recieved her first paycheck! *looks up the sky and mouths thank you*





I have earned money by working! For 10 hours! Actually more than that, but the official number of hours is 10. I worked during a weekend in the UK Education fair in KLCC. I worked as an event assistant in the Customer Survey section. All I need to do is encourage people to do a survey, which takes about 8 minutes to complete to win a prize through a lucky draw after the survey is done. Sounds simple? Well, it is! If they need help, they will ask me for assistance!

Besides earning that paycheck, I got to meet a new bunch of friends. They are open, friendly, funny and fun! They made my working experience truly enjoyable even though it was only two days. I might say my job is easy and all but I had to stand for 10 hours. I only get a 1-hour break a day and I spend it wisely by sitting down on a chair. Doesn't matter what chair or no chair at all, as long as I'm sitting down. With the right company, standing for those hours seemed to be alright actually. We exchanged phone numbers and e-mail addresses and we call each other out for simple teh-tarik outtings. And you thank someone up above for presenting you with such company.

The two people I need to thank for giving me this opportunity to work is Kavi and her mom. Kavi asked if I wanted to work and I agreed! I'm glad I did! I love you, Kavitha. And this paycheck. Sadly, that paycheck is going into someone else's wallet. I rather not talk about it.

Stop That!

This scene should be VERY familiar to all of us, especially those of us who hang around in shopping malls QUITE often. :
You walk along the shops, looking at the clothes all nicely arranged in stacks and mannequins displaying the oh-so-prettyful outfits. You gaze into the shop and you say to yourself, "Gosh, if only i had the money to buy that." [Not the point] You sigh one more time and turn away and what do you see?! You see a couple, walking past you, hand in hand, talking to each other, but what's this?! Something is wrong with the picture. You see the boyfriend carrying the girlfriend's handbag? It is a beautiful handbag no doubt, but why is the boyfriend carrying the handbag you question yourself. WHY? You start looking at them, and you actually notice your muscle tense up, forming a frown. You continue observing them. The boyfriend doesn't seem to mind carrying the girl's handbag. The girl doesn't seem to bother about the guy carrying her handbag. You actually start to wonder and ponder about this.


Thats is one scene i hate. I don't know if it's just me, but I find it seriously irritating. The fact that guys are carrying their girlfriend's handbag. Without complaining. I just don't get it.

Girls, must you really ask your boyfriends to carry your bags for you? Now, if your going to deny that and say to me,"But he offered.", puh-lease. The only reason he's offering to carry your handbag for you is because 1. you've been probably complaining about how heavy your bag is, or 2. you've been acting like your bag is heavy. The fact that he's offering you shows he's a good boyfriend who is willing to degrade his machismo to please you. If your hangbag is heavy, your bag is probably one of those big bags. They are nice and gorgeous and practical you might say. I agree, it is. I love those kind of bags. But the bigger your bag is, the more stuff you'll put in. The more stuff you put in, the heavier your bag gets. Its just going to a mall. What do you need? Your wallet, your phone and what else? I don't know, cause those are the two things I carry to a mall. I don't even carry a wallet at times! I just stuff my money into my pocket. Going to a mall without a handbag, gives you freedom to open up your arms (not that you need to) without worrying that your handbag might slip off your shoulders. So carry a small bag, that should do it! Why go through the trouble of complaining to your boyfriend or acting in front of your guy that your bag is heavy? Think about his ego! Thank god his friends are not there with him. Isn't it weird to see your guy parading your Prada or Louis Vutton in the mall? If you say no, I can bet you alot of guys would say YES! Gals, honestly, I think guys would want to see their girlfriends being independent and who knows how to handle situations on their own. I think it makes us sexy being independent. Trust me, if you are, your boyfriends would wanna show you off to the world.

and GUYS! Seriously!! It IS sweet of you to offer your gals to carry their handbags, but to degrade yourself in a way like this, I don't really think its worth it. Don't you think your embarrassing yourself in front of everyone. Yeah yeah say that, "She's my girlfriend, I love her, I would do anything for her." AH!!! Yeah right. If your friends were there, i doubt you would even offer to carry her handbag. If you do, ah, you're probably going to get teased by your fellow mates. Not of the offering but of the carrying her handbag. Don't you guys want a girlfriend who can take care of herself and who's independent. You don't need to worry so much about her, you don't need to pamper her. I know you guys don't like pampering your girlfriends in those mushy mushy ways. Only girls would want that.

This post is actually mainly for the girls. Not so much to the guys but they still apart of this! Girls, bare in mind, your boyfriends are the ones who will be there to protect you from danger or harm, keep you company, comfort you when you feel down and be there with you at all times no matter what the situation is. NOT FOR CARRYING YOUR HANDBAG! He's not your slave! He's the one you love and the one you might actually spend your whole life with. So don't treat him like that. Don't take him for granted. Cause he might the one. Treat him like how you would like to be treated.
