**What a day

Whats more that I need than feeling comfy being myself and things around me to have a happy day.

I admit i was always a Branded girl. But, today, i was just wearing this $5 tank top with a $5 pink long sleeves top with a less than $100 vintagey jacket that goes with this RM50+ Not the oh-so-hit skinny leg denim jean but a straight leg with nice washed-over colored jeans paired with a few-years-old British India leather belt. Excluding my lil $3xx Mimco & my Priceless body, from head to toe, I cost less than A$150. But, does it really matter ? Squeezing myself into a somewhat expensive outfit might mean something to me, but, today, I just feel comfy in this.

Sitting under the sun at the stair case waiting for the real estate agent - Robert. I started to talk to the guy next to me. well, thats just random. and i happened to find out, Darrel is also a Malaysian (well, not surprising in this instance, coz he looks like one) and what i called it a 'co-incidence' was he is also from Penang and he just moved to Australia some 4months ago, which was somewhat similar to my case, just that he is here to work and i am here to Look for job. What a co-incidence.

Just got this a book titled "How to stop worrying & start living" from Borders yesterday. While i was looking at this particular book, a book titled "Talk to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime" draw my attention. coz thats something i wanted myself to be. I always admire those sales person who can talk about anything to anyone at anytime and anywhere. That might be something that was included as part of their job responsibility, and even though i have had quite a bit of customer/client service and sales background, but, the more i grow up, the more i realize, i can no longer be the 'so-easy-going' salesperson anymore. Its probably just another of my "Boundaries" thing. But, still, i admire their "ability in doing this" always. I did not say that i wanted to be in the Sales area, even though, thats a large earning potential, but, still, i wanted to be a person that can talk to Anyone, Anywhere about Anything at Anytime.

After lunch and some daily shot at Campos with Chin and Gay Tay, my empty + I-dont-feel-like-going-home-YET mind drove me to wander around in city. Happened to stroll down George street, and happened to bump into some "salesperson" doing something to do with "Save the Children" project. And we started talking. Its pretty silly and random, i know. And i actually end up feeling abit "being a white-mice & sales prospect" to be lodge into some donation in the range of $3x to $6x donation thing in the next 6weeks time, something like that. Of course, the smart-ass me wouldnt be so dumb to sign up the 'whateva' random form on the street,right. so, i end up, not signing anything but walk away, of course, making sure the half-way-filled-up form was 'cancelled and & Void'. The main point was, i was happy that i could step out my comfort zone and stepping into a Learning zone - Talking to Anyone (Stranger), Anytime (some time in the afternoon after Lunch & Coffees), Anywhere (George Street) about Anything (really, anything. of course, nothing personal) - which leads to: I am heading to what i wanted to achieve for my life.

It's been some Hilarious time for me for this pass couple of weeks in my life. Things happened. Last thing i know, i, actually had some friends that i would never think of being concern to my current situation. "In adversity you know you friend" - this saying is so-true. Thanks, mates !!

Back to the book- How to Stop Worrying & Start Living. Well, its kinda helpful to me, in terms of giving me some Re-assurance, which it scarce to me all-the-time, that what i did was right. The 'taking steps to avoid my feeling' thing i used to call it was actually the 'Keep yourself occupied & No time to worry' medication in the book. It actually helps. Thanks to Keren for suggesting me this book.

So much for today. Tomorrow is gonna be another challenging day. But, i cant care no more. What will be will be.
