love smiles, love laughter

So for the past weekend, my BF and I decided to spend our 3rd year anniversary there as we liked our first Perhentian vacation last year. Last year, we went to Perhentian Kecil and we liked the snorkelling session that we had at Turtle Point, Shark Point, romantic beach and we even tried diving for the first time in our lives! but too bad, we didn't like that diving as our ears were hurting quite a bit and we were feeling a little paranoid at the possibility of our eardrum being damaged from diving. lol. Anyhow, at the end of the trip, we have come to 3 conclusions: 1st - we can't do sea diving, as we became paranoid af after. 2nd- we still prefer plain old snorkelling, watching colourful fishes and corals and 3rd - we want to go back Perhentian, every year if possible. Hence, this year, we've decided to go Perhentian Besar this time for the 2nd and 3rd. Yes, we did snorkel but this time we went Pulau Rawa, Tokong Burung, Lighthouse. Well, the reason why we chose these fe

It is now my break time. I think I have been quite busy doing this and that for many weekends now and today, finally, I am having some me time. BF is out with his basketball match which is a first one that I am not attending. well, because one, it's outdoors and two, there are no seats for viewers. I don't really know basketball but after have attended a few, I am slowly getting it. Though some movements are too fast to catch like why the referee called a foul or some of them gets a free throw. wow, I actually understand a little now about basketball games haha. Other than that, I am finally deciding to commit full time to yoga. I was going to and fro with that idea for a few months now and I think it is time for me to commit to it. I think I finally made that decision when I had a long chat with the yoga teacher. She is truly passionate about yoga. She cares about the alignments and proper teachings of yoga, unlike many Insta-famous studios where many only does beginners'

Hello hello. It has been a long while, again, since I have sat down to write down my thoughts. Let me share a little of a recruiter's life. Just a little background of myself, I've started my career in investment banking for 2 years then moved to being a recruiter. From a desk bound role to a people management role. Not easy. I've rode many emotional roller coaster where I could be super excited for something, then hit by a bad news. I have learned many, many life lessons from being a recruiter. It is not as easy as it seems. We are not just the connecter of clients to candidates and otherwise. We do more than that. We manage people's expectations, we consult, we advise on market trends and movements, we ought to know what's out there, what are the current demanding jobs there are across the industry. Again, we are not just the person to view CVs and send to clients. We filter, we assess the candidates from the body language and at the same time understanding their

Hey there! Again, i have not been posting consistently here since my last post. I think it is time to sort of commit myself to do so, at least a post a week. What do you think? Alrighty, something to share this week is all about self care! I have been watching quite a number of youtube videos ranging from self care, to slow living to mukbangs (in the middle of the night, hated myself for that) and to productivity. I was pretty inspired to practice self care by slow living. what slow living means is that, every single day, I will be focusing on different things. Will share the link here so you can have a look and perhaps have a try yourself! https://www.pickuplimes.com/single-post/2019/01/28/7-DAYS-OF-SLOW-LIVING-»-printable-guide I was thinking of printing the sheets but in the end, I opted to write them down in bullet journal kind of way. I have to admit, I almost gave up in the middle. I seriously don't have the patience to draw lines in the bullet journal to make all lo

how time flies. 1 more month, actually 3 more weeks till I hit 25. I may be having quarter life crisis!! Many things have changed last year. Dealt with a lot of emotional roller coaster which was insane I must say! Loads of ups and downs, so much more as compared to last year (2017). I mean, people grow and so fast I have moved on to a new role in my life. And this current role, I deal with so many people, day in day out. Clients, candidates. I think you'll sort of get what I am currently doing right? Being a recruitment consultant is not just taking CVs and send to clients. You're absolutely wrong. We deal with people. People are the most complex creatures. As much as many is driven by financial reward, many too is not and that's when us, consultants come in. We are paid to handle situations, to deal with emotions, to dig as much as we can from another human who may not be willing to share, who may be cold af. How do you deal with those kind of situations? Not something
