ONE to jason and me
ONE year ago we were sitting together in a cubicle at work.
ONE year ago we started chatting while travelling from Morning PM to work together.
ONE year ago we started having lunch with other colleagues.
ONE year ago we started sms-ing.
ONE year ago he came over to introduce himself to my cgl.
ONE year ago he met my parents.
ONE year ago he listened to what I had to say.
ONE year ago he was patient with my whirlwind of thoughts.
ONE year ago he wanted to hold my hand.
ONE year ago I was apprehensive.
ONE year ago I was like an acorn, so hard on the outside.
ONE year ago I thought this was a dream, or even a lie.
ONE year ago I didnt believe.
One year ago you decided to step into my life.
ONE year ago.
Happy ONE to us (:
Yes Ive Been Lazy
Like what my title says
Yes Ive really been lazy to update.
haha.
So we had Cookie’s Birthday dinner at The Line on 13 Oct 09.
The food filled our stomachs up to our throats up to our tonsils up to our teeth!!
And our long awaited trip!
The travel agent kinda played us out and our half free&easy/half-day-tours were jumbled and our plans were disrupted.
I felt like they snatched our plans and juggled them in the air for about 4months, then left when their buttocks itched,
then left all the plans dropping and splattering all over the floor. 
But its okay!
We re-planned and we still accomplished what we set out to do.
1) Mama got to buy her watches.
2) Melvin got to buy his cameras.
3) Papa got to well, spend his money on us.
4) Cookie got to accomplish all his food endeavours.
5) And I still got to go to Disneyland (for the upteenth time)!
Didnt upload many HK photos cause they are up on FB 
We are gona have more events coming up and Im very very very excited to experience them and see results!
PS: cant wait to learn what Friends is to beloved boys and girls of N354!
onion rings
Welcome to my desk full of life. haha.
My favourite is nappy the frog which is in a boiling pot.
Well you can see that I was restless at about 10pm, still in the office.
My colleague, Juliana, who sits with me
couldnt suppress herself and started singing at the top of her voice
very suddenly.
Pardon the blood shot eyes and dark eye rings.
Just imagine those as onion rings.
Goodnight good people.
Should I or should I not?
I know Ive already blogged not too long ago,
but please, dear people,
help me decide if I should cut my hair.
Should I or should I not?
JOLIN THE BIRTHDAY GIRL
And so we celebrated the I-that-broke-through-the-roof’s birthday today (:
In all honesty, I was really anticipating the fellowship and food that we were going to share!
And I wasnt let down in both
Presenting the birthday girl to you,
Am pleasantly surprised that our friendship didnt end at the retreat
Never thought that my endurance for an ‘I’ could last that long
But I secretly hope that my endurance would be forever
Cause Jolin is reaaally a good friend to have
and I would love to keep her by my side, or in my pocket for that matter.
Kay, Jolin, you can move that dagger away from my spine now.
We ordered a BTO birthday cake for her!
Yea, Build to Order GRIN
Look at those colors!!
May our friendship blossom till we grow old darling.
You know what?
Jason wanted to pay for our Starbucks meal with his card,
both NETS and Mastercard,
but the NETS machine at Starbucks broke down.
At the end of the day, after holding up the queue behind him,
with many people trying to peek over his shoulders to see what was happening,
our meal was on the house!
And so we decided that Starbucks has social responsibility heh heh,
but exclusively at The Cathay only.
**Jason and I will be dining at a glorious place tomorrow, stay tuned!
Im gona start being me starting TODAY!
There were 3 words I could used to describe me in the past
Excellence, Passion, Color.
I put in my best in everything I did
but I didnt like the high expectations which branded me.
As I grew up
I became tired and wary of how people looked at me
They always expected the best of me
which many a times I thought I couldnt match up
I wanted to be like so and so,
I couldnt bring myself to be me.
The mavis who loved art colors and music
but suppressed the passion so that she could blend in with the crowd
I didnt like to stand out so I could make myself fair just ok
make it just a little above the mark
so that I wouldnt be noticed.
When I decided to take on Yahlan’s offer to take a break from leadership
I thought, finally, I dont have to lead in any way anymore.
The more I wanted to step down from the high profile
the more I died on the inside.
What Jason and Shaun said really carved something in me
that I am sunshine
that God’s gift will always emerge and come running back to me even no matter how much I try to shut it behind the door and lock it up with chains and padlocks.
Today while I was surfing through blogs,
a sudden faith came back into my heart.
I feel like new wineskin.
I feel like a changed person.
I want to be who I was, and even better,
I want to be who God made me to be.
God is a God of second chances,
and this day shall be a day that Mavis comes back.
And here we are,
2.5hours to Jason’s birthday! (:
Another encounter with weird colleagues
I needed 3 colleagues to hint to me that somebody did something to my monitor
I was almost drowning in work, running to and fro my desk and the photocopier,
didnt notice it!
After everyone laughed at me for not noticing it,
they did it the second time.
Why why..why do I have colleagues like these.
2 more days to Cookie’s birthday!
