A New Life ....

I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes...

Everyday the same thought comes to my mind.

This is the start of a new life. But where is my life taking me?

Transfix...

"Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way..."

Should I be happy that I've realised it sooner or should I be sad because that's what it will be...?






I believe in destiny.... do you?

Mesmerising moments....

The beautiful sunset...

Nothing really matters anymore, when the night falls, you are alone with such serendity, peacefulness and all you had at that moment was the sea right in front of you, the sound of the waves whispering sweet nothings....

100%

I came across this article in a blog which I was surfing randomly....

"A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story:
If you don’t give your hundred percent in a relationship, you’ll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent. This is applicable for any relationship like love, friendship, employer-employee relationship etc. Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully. It’s nice to be an important person, but it’s more important to be a nice person."

My sorrows, their joy...

"I want only you to share my sorrows .... for anyone can have my joy..."

Forgetting...

"I remember to forget, I forget to remember..."
~ full of emotions, full of hurt or full of relieve.. you decide....

Back to the REAL world again...

Well people, once again... Happy New Year.
May all good tidings and blessings bestow upon you in the year of Ox.

Had a mini gathering during the first day. Pictures to follow.
The usual visits to the cementries and to Aunt's place on the 2nd day. We were so busy catching up and I forgot to take some pictures with her, cursing silently on the way home.
Usual browsing around the quiet shopping centre in the East, sitting along quiet cafe to enjoy a cup of ying-yong....

Its back to the real world tomorrow. Two whole days of rest away from work, nice but just not enough...

Gong Hei Fatt Choy

Like all who sez, "Happy Niu Year".
Though I don't care the hoot much about celebrating Chinese New Year, I am more or less affected by the spirit and atmosphere of the Ox Year.

Can't help feeling this way when you do all your normal shopping, everywhere is blazing with songs like "cai shen dao" and all the "dong dong chian chian" stuff. Well, its the Lunar New Year and nothing much to complain about, we have two full days of rest, no work!

Again, its time to re-look, re-polish and re-visit some of the resolutions I set at the beginning of 2009. Its gonna be a better year...

The folks...

I am a all-time jerk magnet.

Will jerks please leave me alone...

I am sick of these people and they are intruding my life. Please back off, please, please let me alone.

This is not meant to be a wordy blog, but just pictures that captured my smile.

Team Building in HV, Sistina in December 2008.

The Yellow Madness...

The power of teamwork

Cooking in process...

The crazy folks...

The crazy folks again with the kitchen staff.

The grand finale to the whole night.

Christmas Lunch in Woods, VC.

There are things I can change about myself, whilst things that I can't change .... that truly makes up of ME. This is me, the real me and I am What I am...

I mentioned about two close friends that I've written off from my list.

I have no rights to comment, but plain selfishness and being superficial are traits that I cannot tolerate in friendships. I have given what I can in times of need. True as the saying goes, true self emerges in times of turbulences. Enough is enough...

I m not borned into this world to live up to any nonsense from anybody.

Its 2009 ...

Very outdated post, but really, there ain't much to blog these days.

The doctor discharged me today with an open appointment. Meaning, I don't have to go back to that awful place again. The awful checkups, the long waiting time, I left the place with a smile and a chirpy 'bye' to Prof Wong. Bleh... I hope I am not gonna see him again!

I came back from my trip with a sprained ankle and injured back and running a temperature. Thank you, thank you very much indeed. Awful but yet a fruitful trip. I am glad. There were lots to blog about my trip this time... new experiences with such... but there again... I am too lazy to write all about it.

Its 2009, and again, there are some resolutions that I will love to see myself achieving. I rather not write, these will be kept in my heart.

Flashback in 2008:-

1. I just realised that I am aging, my health is detoriating.... so badly.

2. I traveled out of Singapore more often than I expected. Well, with my health conditions, I wanna do as much as possible these days...

3. I had up close and personal encounters with jerks and that makes me a jerk magnet.

4. But of course, I have lovely encounters with people such as Paul-san and my long lost ang-mo, King.

5. I bought my first watch that I can truly call 'my-own'. Not really a watch person, but all of my watches were gifts, you see...

6. I experienced the feeling of going 'under the knife' on two occasions.

7. I striked off two close friends from my list.

I can't think of any at the moment. I'll add-on again when memory strikes back.

The start of 2009 has been good so far, I pray that it stays that way. At least, I am back to my active self once more. A better me, a more confident me.

I spent my Christmas with Julie, a once cancer-striken patient. Her encounter truly made me sit up tall, walk tall. I'll blog about her in time to come, her words, her messages that touched many of us when she was ill.

Something quick and dirty at this juncture as I am tired and need my sleep. Here are some pics..

Dinner and Dance - 14 Nov 2008 @ The National Museum

Cheers to 2009!

Till next time...
