I am an island

I am an island. Yes I am. I have so much stuff going on that I've reached a point where I'm tuning out everything.

Its good for my state of sanity but its not really good for my work. I need to get things done! It would be great if I tune out the stuff that distracts me, unfortunately, I tune out things I need to focus on. Something's got to change.

It should probably start with my desk. Its a mess.

What I’ve been up to through Phonegraphy

Yikes. The least I can do is give a quick update of what I’ve been up to through the photos I’ve taken from my phone (or Mr Wonderful’s. Having a serious case of phone envy over his new Samsung Galaxy SII. Oh well at least I’ve lured him to join the Droid Side and leave the iPhone fan club *cue The Imperial March*)

From Top left:
|Leather guitar picks: The leather picks finally arrived after a month plus since I ordered. It was suppose to be Mr Wonderful’s christmas present.
|Yachts: I foresee that I’ll be spending more time at the Marina at Keppel. I’m working for a boat show and I have no clue of the different categories of boats or yachts. I asked for flash cards but alas, it looks like I’ll learning on the go.
|Chalk Art Strikes Singapore: Fun! I can’t recall the artist though but he drew the Singapore National Museum and is famous for his perspective chalk art. Sadly it wasn’t drawn on pavement but on a mat laid out on the ground. I’m guessing he was invited to draw and if he was invited, it would be a pretty iffy situation for the National Arts Council to explain why the strict rules on vandalism was bent for him, street art is fine in Singapore, until you break the law, that is.
|Yu Sheng: My second for the Chinese New Year done at the office. Yum! Will miss having it till next year.
|Wood work: Fell sick one day, took off, slept the morning away and decided to work on Mr Wonderful’s Valentine’s Day present in the afternoon. I’ve yet to give it to him but we’ve yet to go for our Valentine’s day date which we’ve set for the weekend after this week. Take a guess at what is it. I do have a photo of it all done but he reads my blog. :P
|Dog/Bear: Seriously the largest and biggest puffball of a dog I’ve seen in my life. I think its a cross between a Teddy Bear, a Pomeranian and a Lion. There was not one but two of them. A male and female with its own prams.

How do the do it?

I miss blogging but ever since I started working I can't seem to find the energy to put into it.

Especially since the work I'm doing is intensive, fast-paced and detail-oriented. Its madness and I love it, the reason why I took up studies in events in the first place but really once I catch a break or is done with work all I want to do is chill with friends or go home and watch TV. Basically, I just want to keep my brain activity at minimum.

So I have a burning question. How do those bloggers with Full time jobs juggle their job and blogging? Do they plan their blogging? I want to know all the nitty gritty minute details! Some enlighten me for I want to join their ranks!

Excuse the Wonkiness

If the blog looks somewhat off, please excuse the wonkiness. I'm currently updating the template. :)

What I’ve been up to

Okay. Ever since my big blog resolution, I disappeared. Well first of all, I’m getting a new job! (finally). Its only for 3 months but I’m hoping like crazy that I get to stay on.

I won’t start on my new job till 1st February but ever since then I have been busy trying to sort out my priorities. 2012 has been good to me so far and I intend for it to stay that way. I’ll still blog but not as frequently.

Well anyway here’s an update on what I’ve been up to. Nope, its not instagram (I’m a loyal droid user, I’ve even convinced Mr Wonderful to switch), its something better, its called Pixlr-O-Matic.

1. I bought gold bobby pins and a gold hair cuff from H&M. I believe in “Accessories Maketh and Breaketh an outfit”

2. Spray painted my phone case in umm.. Gold.

3. Weather’s been a Capital B but when the storm cleared, the sky was not just blue. It was DEEP Blue.

4. Had Yusheng with my friends! Can you believe my friend made it instead of buying the ones in supermarket?! Happy Chinese New Year by the way!

5. Watched Wicked with Mr. Wonderful on his birthday! It was A-mazing.

6. Baked cupcakes for the first time!

Famous passage

My favourite book has always been Pride and Prejudice. I know I’ve written about it before but I’d like to share my favourite passage in the book, its basically Mr Darcy’s passionate and violent confession.

Reading it makes me sigh.
Mr Wonderful himself have told me many times of his love. I sometimes regret not writing it down.
What’s your favourite passage from a book or a movie?

2012!

This is the first post of the new year! Between my last post and now, I’ve basically been bumming about and right now I’m crossing my fingers and I hope to hear some very very good news.

I won’t say what as I’m afraid of jinxing it.

Well anyway, first of all, Happy 2012! And as with every new year, its time for resolutions. Hah. I looked at the ones I made last year and the only one I’ve completed is I’ve learnt to knit. The closest thing I completed was running a marathon. I did sign up for a run but it was only 16.8km and it felt more as if I’ve limped, than ran the whole distance.

So what I’ve been up to since my last post? Apart from bumming about, I’ve thought about my resolutions and I’ve decided to follow Geneva of A Pair and A Spare’s guide to making New Year’s Resolution.

Its an awesome way to start the year. I’m in the midst of doing my resolution but my resolution for this blog is pretty much set. So here’s my resolution for Waking Up Famous.

• Have 60 followers by the end of the year
• Host a 1 year anniversary party (eep!)
• Refine and tweak the design of W.U.F.
• Follow my blog post schedule
• Update twitter, tumblr, etc.

That’s my resolution! I’m still planning awesome stuff ahead!
