Princess Poofy's Queendom

This is what all our hard work on decorating the dept xmas tree got. Yours truly, being morbid as usual, came up with this theme. I love what disney does to their haunted mansion at xmas.

Heading back home past the fullerton hotel after yet another concert at the durian. The choir was rather disappointing, lack of power, dynamics not there and in the end we left at intermission. Think walking ard the malls was tad more fun. Le sigh.

:) i'm a big soft toy lover, especially the cute and unique ones. I made hubby get it for me :) could be a new travel mate for next trips on. I realised i m partial towards beanie filled small toys. Good size for bringing around too. :)

Well, I guess I am not. I am one of those biggest humbugs around, and always quite that negative...

Not sure why so, but these days, it seems that I am meeting lots of unpleasant things at work, and I am always in a runt and a funk. Could be a self-image / self-esteem issue at root for all I know! I am over-analyzing...

But really, just like the last 2 hours at work today, my phone was ringing off the hook with various people wanting a piece of me, loads of issues needing my attention and loads to do, with so little time and attention! There is just one of me and way too much nonsense... 

Like Hubby said, I could be way too negative these days (hardly anything to be cheery about with such a work environment)... could be since he is moving on, so he is lots more cheerful (a definite change from the past)...

But I do think it is high time for me to get out of this negativity and do something positive about myself so that I could hopefully see the world in better light...

Maybe it's the "end of year" feeling I am getting again, in the midst of being too bogged down by work. I need to find that balance in my life again. It's like I am wading in the misty bog, not sure where I am heading, and not sure exactly what I want out of life at the moment. 

• On a personal front, I think I need to stretch myself and develop myself more. Ironically, I am turning into my Boofy monster of old and not quite the me. I somewhat lacked that drive, sharpness and "go-get-ness" as time goes by. In fact, these days, I totally talk myself out of things and initiatives, rather than have him talk me out of them! This is really bad... 
• On a work front, the stale mate has degenerated in some sense, I can see the impending work falling onto me with one colleague leaving. It's a "do be darned, don't do be damned" situation. It is a headache enough that I have difficult people to work with, it is even harder that I have more difficult ones to juggle in future. I will just have to learn to manage the best I can... work is neverending anyway...
• Mentally, I think I am losing that bird-eye view. The sheer micro-management of things is killing me slowly.
• Relationship wise, it is still as good and I am content and happy; just thinking how all this may change with his new work environment and him hitting the big 30. 
• I feel stagnated at the moment, haven't really been rejuvenated in my mind for some time, and did not explore / pursue other interests or studies like Hubby did. 
• Health isn't the best, and that bout of headache makes me very paranoid at each ills I have these days. The other day, I saw a friends FB update (5 yrs & 17kg later... ) and I immediately think of me - 6 yrs and 16kg later... and the fine lines are coming out all over my face... =( 

I think I need a self retreat to really be alone to think of what I want in life. At very least, I need to get away from work, and world at large. Hmmmm... maybe I need to run away from home for a day.. or go for a hike or stg like that... 

I need to know what am I?!

I like this quote from Oprah:

" Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness"

Waiting for the concert to start now. :-P Θ and intermission now Θ so far the cityscapes tunes are good ;)

The holidays are in full effect, so tell us: What's your favorite holiday song? Bonus points if you share it with us!

Here's my top song for the year. I just love it in the old school Xmas style best... ;) 

After so many months of trying to not paint my nails and hoping to let them grow nice and healthy to no avail, i decided to give up. Cuz my big toe nails were still growing 'crumpled' anyhow. :( no amount of buffing made them grow nice anyway. :(

First attempt at tea egg. I'll need to boil them longer and break the shell more! They turn out more white than tea color!
