If you’ve been reading my Formspring, I’d actually mentioned that I’m currently going through a bad period.
Iz true.
I work really long hours at my job. I don’t usually like to talk about work that much; maybe in the future I will but not right now.
Anyway for the past four years, I’ve been juggling a crazy worklife and blogging. A lot of people have asked how I handle two things that take up so much time each together. A full time job is a full time job, and blogging can be a full time job too.
I never really had a problem juggling these two things. I didn’t really get what was so hard about it because if there were blog events during working hours, I’d just make it a point not to go because work was a priority. But events outside of working hours were okay, and it was just a matter of making time to blog or write advertorials in my free time. As a result in the past four years I don’t really have a lot of free time but I don’t mind.
But when wedding planning came along, that’s when disaster struck wtf. I don’t even think I’ve done that much for our wedding yet and it’s in 4 months T____T but I found myself worrying about things that I needed to do during working hours and trying to juggle wedding planning AND blogging AND work. Add that to the fact that work got a lot more crazy recently….
I broke down yesterday T____T
I’d already been stressed the past couple of weeks and I’d find myself blinking back tears at work or wiping away the stray teardrop in the car on the way home wtf. But yesterday there was a meeting where I felt so frustrated – some coworkers were giving me well-intentioned feedback but I felt like my efforts were going unrecognized and even worse people were picking on me for things I didn’t feel I should be responsible for – that I uh kinda shouted in the meeting and shocked everyone WTF.
Then I abruptly said I had to leave and I walked out. T________T I had to go for a blog event right after that so I drove there and cried the whole way while driving WTF. AIh blog this also feel so pathetic wtf. Like Ben Stiller at the end of There’s Something About Mary.
Sure the people next to me in traffic lights think I’m crazy wan wtf.
Anyway I feel slightly better today. And the blog event I was heading to was a blogger gathering with Pizza Hut. At that point I didn’t even want to go because I was feeling so bad and I had no time to do makeup so I was also looking bad wtf.
Pizza Hut’s Yusof welcoming us.
When I arrived everyone was like wtf happened to your face WTF cos I looked so horrid.
I thought it was going to be a long evening…
All my initial pictures looked like this hahahaha.
KY and Cheesie laugh until siao fml.
But after a while I was glad I went. Pizza Hut outings are one of the blog things I really look forward to cos we always get to sit down with friends we don’t get to meet normally and catch up over yummy food T____T
Seeing all of them I calmed down a bit. And with everyone’s smiling faces and KY’s stupid jokes, I made myself smile, and then I was laughing for real. And then I was okay.
That’s me and Redmummy with Pizza Hut Triple Chicken Pizza (new flavor!)
Triple chicken cos it’s three types of chicken (chicken floss, chicken ham and chicken salami with lots of mayo.
Chicken wraps! Eat ALL the fries!
With Kampungboycitygal and our Triple Chicken pizzas.
Chicken wings my favorite
They showed us the new Triple Chicken commercial. It comes in thin and crispy and thick crust. I usually prefer thin and crispy wan.
All of us! KY, Cheesie, RM’s friends, Pinkstilettos, Beautifulnara and Ciknara, Proudduck, Hanis, RM, badfaced girl, and Kampungboycitygal.
Another picture. Cheesie’s makeup was super different cos she did a photoshoot that day. I kept telling her dunno who she looks like now I know.
Looks like Courtney Cox or not!
My trick is if I’m not wearing makeup, to make stupid faces in every photo. That way people cannot tell if your expression is ugly, or your own face is ugly nyehehehehe.
Helps if you also pull your face down a bit with your hands.
We were actually all watching the commercial haha.
Fehmes Vivy, Nazuwan and Mira.
With Rachel of Nuffnang.
Getting happier and happier as the night wears on.
Pizza Hut gave us a stuffed popcorn zomg best part of the evening.
#notsureif good or bad thing wtf.
I thought the timing was terrible but I was wrong. Thank you Pizza Hut for making my day. ^^

Y U no hire wedding planner? Then ask him/her to only bother you with big decisions or bugger off.
Don’t know how much this will help in anyway…but big hugs*:):)
oh Aud. 🙁 it’s ok, stay strong! true, your wedding is in a few months’ time but think about it: this phase will be over in a few months’ time too! just stay focused and think of the reward: AFTER THIS, NO MORE WEDDING PLANNING!! hopefully lah. haha jk2. good luck with everything Aud! <3
You always have way to stay positive AND funny =) Stay strong and I can foresee your happy day will be awesome! I mean, wedding ;p
you looked beautiful anyway!!! 😀
You look beautiful dear! Cheer up, everyone is bound to have one of these days. A rainbow will always come after a storm 🙂
;__; !
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time! Your fans will always be here to support you though.
And it’s great to hear you cheered up oodles at Pizza Hut; looks like you had a great time. 😀
I think you look beautiful, even without makeup. What makes you even more beautiful is the fact that you aren’t afraid to blog about it!
Cheer up and just remind yourself that it’ll all get better soon! 🙂
Awww…your eyes looked puffy after the cry. Poor thing 🙁
Wedding planning can be really stressful especially when we want is to be as perfect as possible. But like what my colleague said “Buat ikut kemampuan aje” 😉 Just rmb that it’s only once in a lifetime.. cherish every moment of it *hugs
awww… you should take a time-off on blogging. your wedding and your work is much more important right now. 🙂 and btw, try planning in the morning while eating breakfast or preparing for work. it’ll reduce your stress/ pressure level 🙂 goodluck sis!
Awwwwwwwww… 🙁 *virtual hug*
Super supreme cause it covers all the good range of meat with a good measure of veg thrown in to keep my mum from nagging me!
My favorite Pizza Hut topping would definitely be Thai Seafood!!! I will never ever missed ordering it whenever I am at Pizza Hut! The mouth watering spicy thai sauce often drives me skyrocketing SPICY,but I don’t mind as it’s really YUMMYLICIOUS! Thank you Audrey. BTW, you look really pretty and please take good care of yourself!
Cheers,
Loyal Reader of yours! 🙂
My favorite pizza is Island Supreme because i love tuna and mayo…Felt luxurious 🙂
Take care audrey, dont push yourself too much, you are JUST great as you are ok!
island supreme bcos i jus love the taste! =)
I love royal masala because firstly, I love spicy food.secondly, I love cheese so its like having a 2 in 1 thing! I’m salivating just thinking about it Omg!!!!!!! *drools*
just forget and dont repeat it. next time just go for toilet break and maybe shout there. if something is not worth doing, its not worth doing well. 🙂
my favorite pizza hut topping is Island Supreme! The seafood selection of tuna and crab meat are without doubt, two of my favorite seafoods! and you top it with onions and pineapple, it tastes fantabulously addictive. add in some thousand island sauce, you dont need to be at the top of Everest to feel on top of the world!
Take it easy Audrey and don’t over exert yourself, sometimes things aren’t as big a deal as it seems. Stay calm and be happy =) <3 Also my favorite toppings on a pizza are pineapple and ham along with cheese. Those are my favorites because it's so different from anything else I have ever had!
mapletrash@yahoo.com
My favourite Pizza Hut topping is pepperoni!
Its the best combination with cheese!
Sometimes it taste like bacon or sausage! 😛
hawaiian tuna!! because i love tuna wtf
i agree with benjaminvai. ya go ahead plan your wedding and work on whatever you need to. im one of many readers that care for you and i would understand if you put on hiatus for now. plan ur wedding cantik-cantik, cherr up k 🙂 *hug*
aww! u have to take care k? don’t stress up yourself too much. You still have become a beautiful bride pretty soon you know? Just pray hard for everything to be alright. =)
my fav pizza hut toppings would be pineapples, chicken with Cheese filled crust! Because I’m a typical CHEESE LOVER who can’t live without cheese! Fingerlicious! =P
i fully support u, i know, coz i ady find it very hard to juggle between work and house work, what more u have to juggle 3 crucial things at the time..
dont worry ur burst is completely valid and reasonable.
i think u should jus resign since u are getting married and its not like tim cant support u rite…
Wedding planning can be stressful, in addition to your already hectic life. do take care!
my favourite pizza topping without a doubt would be – Royal Masala. Generous portion of tender, juicy bit of masala chicken and the tangy & spicy Masala sauce is a sure pick-me-up! I just love how innovative Pizza Hut is to cater for the Malaysian tastebud! Royal Masala rawks my socks! 🙂
You are capable of doing this, Audrey. You have so many readers mentally and physically supporting you. You can do this!
My favourite topping is TUNA! Actually I like Fish but Tuna is the best, you know why? because Tuna makes your breath smells. You probably thinking I’m weird but let me tell you the benefits of bad breath. You see, when me and my bf are fighting for the last piece of pizza, my technique is face my mouth to him and open my mouth big big and say ‘harrrrr’, see he can tahan my Tuna breath or not and let me eat the last piece. Ngek ngek 😉
my favvy pizza hut topping is super supreme! i’m a meat person and i can eat a large super supreme all by myself, no sharing required haha.
i’m also known as a carnivore by my frens hahaha wtf. err i hope i made you laugh, please give carnivore a free voucher to try the triple chicken pizza!! meat here i come!!! wohooo
I realised that after a tensed up and stressed up moment.. all the tears held in suddenly pours out helps and after that, you actually feel better.
And ready to take on the stress..
Baby steps. Try not to scare yourself out with the 4 months more to wedding countdown.. if possible, make sure you have 1-2 good girl friends who can help you out.. remind me you at times on what you need to be doing etc.
All, if not most brides go through that.. Cheers k.
Hugs!!
Don’t worry, Aud! Everything will be fine at the end! Cut down on blogging if you really have to. Your readers will understand 🙂
Oh! My favorite pizza topping is Hawaiian Chicken because it’s kinda of like family tradition to have it every single time we go to Pizza Hut! Everyone loves that flavor, even the picky kids! Such an ol’ classic 😀
I guess everything that needs to be said has already been said… So here’s a *huuuuuugggg* for the wonderful ms. Audrey 🙂
NO worry Audrey, you can do it!
Take a deep breath and take a rest to recharge your energy. 🙂
fav topping would be one filled with love!!! hahaha
to spread more love!!!!!!!!!!!
sends over some more love to aud!!!
you are audsome!!!!!!!
you will have a great week!!!!!
Jia you, Audrey!! I know it’s not easy to juggle three demanding things at once. You can do it! ^^
Take a step back and rest for awhile if you’d like to. Perhaps ignore WordPress for the time being and focus on your wedding planning and work instead ^^
Rainbow always comes after the rain!
Hi aud! your gonna be allright, everything will definitely turn out fine, everyone here is already looking forward to seeing a pretty gorgeous bride!
realised the majority didnt bother talking about mentioning their fav toppings for pizza! hahhahah, We all care for you yo! keep it going 🙂
No worries Audrey! Do not give yourself too much pressure. You can f*cking juggle between wedding planning, work and blogging!
On another note, I do look forward to your wedding post! (No pressure there wtf.)
And my favourite Pizza Hut topping is Hawaiian Chicken! It’s the first pizza I had when I first visited Pizza Hut. So since then, it became my all-time favourite. Ya I know I’m nostalgic like that wtf. 😀
Stay positive! I think you should take a break from blogging, I’m sure everyone here feels the same way.. wedding > blog for sure right! When you’re ready to come back though make sure you do an awesome post to make up for the missing ones 😉
kk now its a bit awkward, you have encouraging comments alongside “my favourite pizza topping” comments. xD and i bet you’d like to give the pizza vouchers to the encouraging ones instead.
ANYWAY cant really help here but TAKE CARE YO! cool down on the blogging if you need to (: im sure we all understand.
aww auds i cried otw back from work today too wtf. if the pressure is too much, take a step back and reprioritise. pretty sure you’ll be be fine in the end 🙂
hope you will be okay…im not good with cheering people up but i really hope you will find calm and happiness soon…just think about your wedding day and all the food you can eat after getting married *coz now have to maintain slim o fatty might run away hehehe :P* so that you can ignore all the stressy bits okay 🙂 btw, i love hawaiian chicken because it make me feel like im on holiday in Hawaii haha 🙂 all d best for you Aud 🙂 cant wait for u to get married 🙂
Like everyone suggest…maybe take a break from blogging first?blogging should come last as it is not a super priority..so y make life so difficult for yourself my dear?since everyone on your blog knows you’re juggling with so many things in life,I am sure readers are willing to wait for u to resume blogging after u at least settle your wedding part…anyway,from d pics can really see ur swollen eyes..so take it easy k..anyway,big hugs to u from Ipoh.. ^^
Take care Aud. Hope you are feeling better now :)!
Aud, cheer up and you can do it!
Pepperoni topping is my favourite!

Hi Aud,
I understand the feelings about juggling multiple tasks not for days, but years! It’s okay to shed the tears sometimes, because every cloud has its silver lining. Hope you can stay strong, and enjoy the life. You have thousands of readers who always support you here 🙂 Jiayous!

“What’s your favorite Pizza Hut topping and why?”
My answer is:
My favourite Pizza Hut topping is Thai Seafood, because I’d love the fusion of pizza with Asian flavour. Munching through a slice with thick flavour of Thai spicy seafood, I will go gaga with my tantalized taste buds! Aromatic and strong in taste, how can I resist that? 😀

Aud, I think you`re pretty even without makeup! 🙂
All time favorite “Hawaiian Chicken Pizza” Biting through the crunchy pineapple and crispy pizza just makes my day.
None other that pepperoni delight! Simple yet delicious!
p/s : Can’t wait to see your actual wedding in the post 🙂
Don’t stress yourself too much, it’s possible to get an entire wedding+honeymoon planned in 4 months, been there, done that but mostly my husband’s effort. Most importantly, concentrate into looking pretty and happy on your wedding day 🙂
Thanks you made my day better. Started work and all I’ve been doing is holding back tears at work and crying back at home or I the car. At least I know I’m not alone. Thanks for this entry.
