The past --> 2010

*** This is a long entry !.

I did not make much resolutions during the beginning of the year 2010. All I wish for is being responsible for all my roles that I'm playing. I still remember vividly, I will do my best as a Mother to Lucas, as a wife to Patrick, as a daughter to mummy, as a sister to both my sisters, as a daughter-in-law to my parents-in-law, as a sister-in-law to my sisters-in-law,as an employee to my employer and as for friend, whoever will be my long lasting friends in life will always stay with me, will always be my side and deep in my heart even though I would probably unable to spend much time with.
I wouldn't say,I've achieve 100% satisfaction from all party, I made lots of mistake over the time frame of 12 months in 2010. I'm not perfect and I did not play my roles perfectly, but at least for sure I've tried my very best effort. =). My sincere apology for my unstable emotions whenever things happened unexpectedly and I'm working forward to improve & controlling my own emotions.

I had a bad starts of year 2010, or should I say, I had a bad ending in year 2009 X'mas?!. Lol...Those moments I wish not to recall. It's hurtful. And I'm glad it's over and glad I was able to overcome the obstacles with all the support from my husband and lovely true friends around. Thank you!!!
It definitely took me a period of time to recover from all the hurtful events. I was down, was depressed, was unable to focus, and could not move on. And yes, I was struggling pretty hard. I made a decision, to resign from my job and take a month break to stay at home without getting myself a new job for backup. For that period of 1 month, I stayed closely with husband, and I'm truly glad to have him to support me emotionally without fail.

Coming to 2nd Quarter of the year, we moved in to our new home. Our lives and all the beautiful things we are having now begin. Our big thanks to in-law. =). We were builing our little hub, decorating our lovely place, and living in our little comfort home. I got myself a brand new job right after our 1st year anniversary in Sabah. Thank you, Edward. I started my job in the middle of May,2010. The job nature is totally something NEW to me. However, thanks god once again, I'm able to pass my probation period. It was definitely tough to me for the first 3 months!!!. And I made lotsssssssss of mistakes as I totally have NO IDEA on how BUSINESS works! Thank you boss for all the opportunity given and all the trust given to me. I'm getting back all the confidence and self esteem from this job. =).

3rd Quarter of the year, I was feeling satisfied!. I thought, I've everything a person should have. Yes, I got EVERYTHING and I'm very satisfy, and I'm not asking for more. I'm just wishing to remain my happy moment as this. FAMILY, CAREER & HEALTH. =). I realized that I've so much to learn, so many ppl I should meet and so many things for me to do in this tiny little world. Oh yea, not to forget, I started my new hobby, GOLF!. With this hobby, I have expand my network and building a better relationship with my colleagues and customers.. Thanks hubby again for introducing me this hobby. It was fun and helping a lot in my career. =)

4th Quarter of the year, hubby started a new family planning. Ooops, definitely not to have another kid at this moment. =). It's building our financial stronger!. Yes, hubby comes out with a plan to force our monthly savings. And we have to survive only with 30% of our Income every month starting in December. Therefore, beginning of this quarter, we bought our wishlist before DEC comes. LOL.... I had an Iphone 4, while hubby had his CANON EOS 60D. I hope it's not too much to ask for, as we have been living moderately for the past 2 years. =P hehehe !. It's a sweeetest quarter too, hubby gave me a BIG surprise for our monthiversary, "hang fuk ji wen" RING !. =)

In 2010, I had visited church from time to time, to rest my mind, to understand life, and to talk to him. I believe, he heard me!. Thanks god for shining above me, and giving me all the greatest thing in this world. Thank you.

If you are reading this, Merry X'mas & Happy New Year from PATRESA !.

Let's look forward for a better tomorrow. =)

Season Nine: ........

Ops, did not manage to jot down anything before the season ends. =). Probably, time is moving on too fast and I'm still lagging behind to catch the second. I've begin the season with attending Nicole & Casper's wedding. Both wedding fall on 3rd October 2010.I attended Nicole's in the morning session at Teluk Intan, then drive up to Penang to attend Casper's. Congratulations to the newly wed! ... May your new stage of life be filled with all the happiness and loves. =)... My all time advised to couple is, always holding hand FIRMLY to go through every moment of life together, and everything will be alright! =) . Patresa would probably not be the best couple to give any advise, however, after gone through all the hiccups of life, patresa truely belief, holding hand firmly in any occasion is the best way to deal with obstacles. I'm really glad and happy seeing both gals are marrying with smiling face.
Although, it was real tired to me but I definitely had an enjoyable moment at both wedding ceremonies. I'm sincerely happy for you gals ~~~~... Welcome to the next stage of life, gals! =)

Next up, I've had a few outings with my sisters..... Manicure, pedicure, facial, shoppping, chatting & gossiping were just so much fun ! My resolution for next year is to spend more time with my family and have more sharing with them. Afterall, family is the most trustable person in our life. At least, they are the person who keep supporting us through harsh time. =)

Career. Achieve the challenge on this season! . Superb happy...Thanks god for always shining above me. I'll work harder for the coming seasons. =)

Season Eight: Summary

Life on season eight was pretty good. Most of the things went smoothly. We started to enjoy our life as much as possible. Our life seems to be good, and that was probably because we are satisfy with who we are at this moment. We thought we have almost everything that a person should have. Nothing too extreme, and nothing too less

Family bonding is stronger, probably because little lucas has brought lot of smiles and laughter to everyone as he is growing up and learning up. We are all counting down to his one year old birthday. =)

Myself and patrick relationship is much more stable nowadays, and we thought probably because we have no more disturbance from 3rd party. We enjoy our lives with no rumours and gossips. I felt a peace of mind for the past six months. I sincerely praying for our relationship will grow stronger as we are heading to the same direction. Oh yea, I started picking up golf !. I enjoy the game and it was fun. Everytime when i hit the ball and it flying up high and far, I felt a sense of satisfaction. =) .

Career. For the first time, I felt so happy every morning when I have to work! I did not laze on the bed when the alarm is ringing! ...But, I woke up even before the alarm ring to get ready for work! I really enjoy the time putting on the dress, the makeup, the hair wax, the accessories, and the high heels before I leave home for work. I enjoy being a corporate lady, the business-style young lady... =P. Arrive in office and started my work with Quotation, presentation slides, setting appoinments, before I leave office for meetings. And every morning, my mind hoping to have "new fax message" in my inbox, as that indicate a new PO. =P

Pat's career is doing pretty good as well. Pat has been working in the current company for more than a year plus. He as well enjoys his work very much on meeting with the companys' higher management. Able to mix around with those people was his real pleasure to learn from this kind of people. =)

Overall, we are happy with our current life and we truly hopes this happiness will never ends.

Due to the busy life, I have very limited time to update this space. However, I will jot down a little on every season. This is for myself to keep track on the things happened on patresa's life. =)

Season Seven: Life in the fast lane

Stress is the first word from everyone when we refer to the title above. But not to me... I would say I love and enjoy life in the fast lane. Not sure if I'm still fresh in this industry. Love being a corporate lady, a young one ....a young corporate lady, meeting up with all kind of people from different walk of life. Enjoy and enthusiastic to know the business nature of each industry. Eager to know each company work flow and the way they handle obstacle. As a solution provider, I felt a sense of respect from my client. They are keen and they are impressed with the products.

I love being recognized as a young and capable lady in the meeting room who is able to deliver the presentation and to do the negotiation. I got all the hype whenever I closed the deal. *** The purchase ordered received. ;)

Although, I could not complete the project smoothly with no errors/issues. However, I enjoy the moment to tackle each problems, to solve each of it. The sense of accomplishment, and achievement.

At this hour, I'm still staying out waiting for client to arrive. To solve his issues. My heart hoping that I'm home, laying on the comfortable couch with my beloved husband. I wish..... But, I can't. I've to stay positive and wish things gonna turn out to be a good one! ...

Joke of the day: Meeting clients mean generatingggggggggg $$$$$$$..... wuakakakak...

-Patresa- will be meeting the precious over the weekend ! .... Bought little luc a new food.... !!! ... ;)

Enjoy the weekend, people ! ...

Stay tune in patresa-street!

Season Six: 90-10 principles - creating peace in life

I encountered with an accident the other day.I was halfway changing to another lane, and a motorbike was so fast coming from behind, and unbreakable, "BOM"! ... Once I stepped out from the car, I saw an old man lying on the road with his broken motorbike. On that moment on, I was telling myself to stop figuring whose fault in that accident but trying my best to help as much, as I was not hurt at all in the whole accident.. I was keeping the 90-10 principles by stephen covey in my mind. (10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% of life is decided by how you react.) I did not call for any helps as I do not want to complicate the whole situation, and I decided to take a day off to bring this old man for a full body check up, however, he rejected my offer...I understand if I were to bring this case to police, the old man will get the summon as he was banging my car from behind. And most of the people suggested me to do a police report. I did not, because he is an old man, ..... an old man driving a Motorbike.... an old man driving a Motorbike to Work, to earn for a living ... No matter how he throw his frustration and anger to me, during the accident, I keep myself soft and calm... And I promised him to pay back the damage. The next day, I supposed to pay him back RM200. We met at my office. He put a smile on his face when he saw me. Not because of the money, i believe. The first word from his mouth is "Sorry for throwing his anger to me". I was glad, not because of his "Sorry", but because he looks good and fine. =). He returned RM50 to me, as the repaired for the motorbike is RM150. I said, keep the money and go for body checkup, to ensure he is OK. But, the old man said, he did the check up at govt hosp and that doesn't cost him much. =) ... At the end of the story is, the old man and I is happy. We put a smile on our face. And I got a new friend now. Will be dating him for lunch next week!. That is how, the 90% of life is made of. We can't control the 10% of life where accident happened. Let's imagine another way round, where I'm being harsh to him as well. Things gonna turn out to be different as well especially when both party is in different races. We blame each other for the races to build such a person and cursing over each other. That's gonna turn out to be very sad! ...

Oh ok, some would probably say the whole story is to praise myself for being a good person. No no no no .... I do admit,I'm a pretty harsh lady. I could be very mean in a way when someone is acting over my limit. In chinese, we call it "Stepped on my pony tail". =P ...I'm sorry, I could not forget all the bad vibes doings in my life, to destroy and to hurt my family. I'm not a forgiveful person at all in this situation, because I will not give another chance. I'm really glad for all the bad things happened, as I am now have a little peace in mind. =)

Afterall, whatever you do, or you decided to do, just remember to create peace in your own life. . -teresachin-

Season Six: The different stages in Life

I guess, I had gone through a pretty good and interesting life during my childhood and teenager life. I was lucky enough to enjoy my childhood as much as others, as I was not stress with study. I was allowed to play all the games and watch all the program that I like. I remembered my first roller plate, my eldest sis bought it for me. Computer games like aladin, prince of persia, mario, tetris, and etc. I was quite well equipt with almost everything.
Teenage life was fantastic! My first handphone was Nokia 8850 and I was 16 years old and my very first puppy love was fall on the valentines day. I was not sure what is love is all about. Probably, it was the special chemistry that bond 2 persons together, and whenever you see each other, the heart beat increase... That might explain. 16 years old was my most memorable year, because i've enjoy my life to the max. My first try to night life. My first make up! Sms and phone chatting whole night long. spending some money for grooming - hairdos, facial and etc. A year that I will never forget, 2001...No commitment, no worries, no burden, and all I have to do was to enjoy life.
Coming along to the 2nd stage of teenage life was during my uni life. Stress with studies, family problems arise, had pretty bad experience in love life. But, at times, I do enjoy the whole process of it. Tackling one subject to another, one semester to another semester, changing from one person to another person, I've learnt so much. That's the true learning path I've been to. Building me to be a better person, learning from mistake, and life still goes on pretty goood. From a dependent young naive little girl to an independent smart little lady.
Life changes the most when I entered adulthood. Commitment, burden and worries, all comes together. Obstacle after obstacle for me to tackle and to solve. I was not ready to enter this stage of life. I was unprepare at all, therefore, the feeling of uncertainties, unsecure, had made me emotionally and physically weak. I was just so weak, and yet the bad vibes was trying to destroy my life even harder. Lucky enough and thanks god, I went through that moment with courage. Thanks to the persons who were by my side. With your encouragement, I'm able to be the person I am today. =) ... Living the life of an adulthood and in the stage of parenthood, is never ever easy. I would probably say, this is the hardest path to me so far. From a always happy-go-lucky gal, follow the flow and never have the plan in life, I've change to a person with rules and regulations, a person with plan for the future in life, a person who care about lifestyle...

I ain't sure, what will be the next stage. However, I wish my beloved family and friends will always be happy and healthy.
