We learn abt others n abt ourselves everyday.

I'm on my way back from a visit to a art showcase collaboration by 3 designers/ artist in sg n japan. I was w my boss and our inhouse designer. (coincidentally she's a few yrs my senior frm e same DES school)

It was pretty a simple outing but we were late n missed out meeting impt ppl. Well I had a saporo beer and shaked some hands. Most importantly I was out w ppl at work.

In the end I had a walk w the designer and we chatted. I'd say she's a true blue designer. It wasn't awkward but we are different. I'm clearly the least artsy. She asked me a qs that I cldnt answer:
"'what do you wanna become?"
I ended up asking if she's what she wanted to be..

Dreams. Reality. Ideals. Capability.

I've learnt to see that some shoes are too big to fit. No matter how hard u peservere or hope to be or hope to have, it may never come. Because that's life. I hope I'm not expressing negatives, bcus I'm totally in terms with it.

But, if no dreams existed, won't life be shallow?

Humble dreams and humble hopes.
Live wad we own proper. Maybe that's good enough. At least fr today.

" I want to be happy; in my own skin, my life, my pains, my heart n mind'.
I want to be a lovable daughter, friend, partner"

- sounds totally pretentious and uninspired.

That's for me today :)

sudden randoms.

was watching 金石良緣 on scv and encountered the topic "still birth".
just read JL's blog and met the same topic.

the pain of giving birth to a dead baby.
or even one that may not survive.
the 9months of hope, dashed n hit on you that instance.
Life.

so would you rather not have that lil hope and give disappointment a sure miss?
:just a piece of my womanly thoughts.

i reallllly need to sleep!
nights


sunday's never been this less painful"

the "lazy" girl decides to fix her own nails and 
put on hydrating mask before she welcomes week02!
(ok i admit i almost did an express nail thingy on sat)

yes, it's been eonS since i last did my own nails.
have been heading to the manicurist etc..
and when was the last tym i put on a face mask?
i seriously cannot remember! i think i wanted to do it before cny,
but i didn't in the end.
well well.. looking back on my awful sundays before..
this sunday has been amazingly 'peaceful'.
i do dread alil for work,
but i dun dread it till i feel upset n grumpy like i used to! 
:)
life is still good.

i seriously feel all grateful for the change i am having,
still fighting on to overcome some,
but it is a process i know i have to go through..
but, at least it's not tear fighting like before!

next up..
(picture taken last week!)
yes, i really need to bring my mind at 'synch' 
i need to sleep at right times and not let 
the mind wonder so much when i'm hitting the sheets.
tsk tsk.
Slumber land, could you ease me on this!

*

breathe..
today, some one spoke of the time passing speed around us.
i can't help but feel like running away from time.

g'nite.

Flash Foward.

Tired sleepless night.
But I'm still wide awake! Cld smell e ppl at my blk cooking!!! Haha..

Anyways, i was stuck" watching Flash Forward on ch5, great show, managed to stopped at epi5. Need e sleep.

The show is about; on this particular day, the whole world had e vision of 2mins&smth flash forward of their future! And it's never been e same again! No1 knew if it was true, some lived differently, others fight to prevent etc. Imagine the kids, the world.. (will be watching on!)

I wonder how indifferently I'd live if I had a glimpse of my future?

I guess it may not be a good idea to have known e end even before u experience it, u tend to lose e whole process of experiencing it whole heartedly right ?

G'nite..

Week01

I managed to wrap up this wk01 w much satisfaction n glad-ness in work.
The real work that is, I'm pretty happy abt wad I do! :) I honour my responsibilities n jobs ataken. N I totally love e freshness of where I begin!
But, trust me, there is no perfect job.

I'm learning each day to overcome picking bitterness of the nitty grittles of e other areas, culture difference n interpersonal relationships. I ask fr a change, so how can I complain?
Still keeping my hopes afloat ya.

But e ironic bitterness is; y do I still sleep n wakeup feeling; Short changed/ incomplete and empty?

What's the missing piece?

It's Saturday.
And I am being a womenly girl all morning...

The Story.

The Story - Brandi Carlile


everyone writes a story uniquely theirs.
what's yours?

*
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
And baby I broke them all for you
Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
Oh yeah and its true, that I was made for you


*

if i could,
i'd really wanna lay my story straight..
in chapters, in bold, in finale and episodes.
and not;
await for the unknowing and shiver..

*

and i made the move.

he handed me this jersey.
"12" the twelfth men of the Team, the people of the association. 
it is a jersey all confirmed staff wears on international event days.
i was surprised.

it was my last day.

we chatted for quite awhile. no screaming and busineesss,
it was all real talk, all thanks and all proper.. with smiles..
the chat i yearned since the day i signed on the 1st dotted line 
that never came..
but i am glad,
at least he left me feeling bittersweet and grateful.
and brought back the charm and respect i once had for him.

thankyou for the words of assurance and appreciation.
it was a day filled w emotions.

my war-mates too sent me words of love n gifts...
not forgetting; the amount of thankyou emails i sent and recieved after..
i felt love.

hmph.

but sometimes, when u have to go u have to go!


goodbye my comfy work-desk,
the messy place i spent hours day & night @ war, 
laughing, screaming, msning!, tear fighting..
the place i grew up and earn my pocket money and gained all that worldly business!
:)

farewell.
*

tmr, will be a new beginning.

trust me.
i feel nervous.

Gdmorning

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Timothy II 1:7

*
conversations of the earlier set me reinforced of my hope and determinations to live right,but trust me right after which, disturbance of doubt and uncomfort came.

For all the right reasons I shall be awake and face e fact of harsh reality. Practicality and swollow with no fear or doubt.

Why do I often need reinforcement of reasons/ excuses?

Breathe.

It's Tuesday.

在被窝里想着、梦着、
如果的以后、如果的明天。

晚安。

Sunday, March 14, 2010

天气、心情、他们有时很想!

如果世上有能掌握的一切、有多好!

*

I kept recalling the bits of yesterday and wonder if I was being overly me. The painter of perfection in the outside. One that may cause hurt to others.
But after the mind run through, I'm just glad I had that heavy&warm hand on my shoulder at that point, he made mefelt well. Thanks E. ;) I always knew u took me like a close one fr we few have close minds.
I'm thankful.
Mostly, happy fr the sights of happiness I saw n felt. Changes of the well.
But;
I still don't know if I did the right thing thou.

......

cross road path taken.

the new path ahead is uncertain.

but each day i remind myself,
i should be pleased n thankful for the opportunity i am given.

breathe.

*

the other day;

E suddenly spoke to me with the sappiest look and said;
" what if everyone starts to leave..."

walking out of office,
the event helpers called my name out..
"xiao mei...."
they call me that to tease me, most of them are around my age.

sitting by my desk,
The helpers loitered @ my area..
pushed each other n finally someone asked;
"are u really leaving...?"

trust me,
as much as i am glad i have a new opp ahead.
i hate to admit,
i am gonna miss the bitching and warmth of ppl i met,
grew up and spent almost 5 years here with them.

Why is it that; the grass is always greener on the other side.

i hate to say that i am slightly forcing myself to say,
how happy i am to leave.
but politically well, i know it is for the better!

it is.

say goodbye to horrid tear fighting moments,
angry dad conversations,
hard to swollow unwillingness.
the expectations was higher, the disappointments were bigger.

next up;
lesser expectations.
better satisfaction,
i hope.

wet gloomy sunday..

Misses begins..

" .. What happens is everyone starts to leave..." E said to me in that face..

I will miss the old football talks, temper management of e other n force food tries... I already m.
***

Tmr I'm getting a taste of the grass on the other side..

Off to tennis now!

I woke up

..and felt that I have no say or control in my everyday. Although it rained and washed the dust n dirt, it left with the
dampy floor and left over dirt which was here since before.. The sun never left, it stayed but did not give way to the clouds, thus it made new dust and dirt..

Weird. I am. I know.

" .. You expect way too perfect for things in life .."

***

I spent an hr odd searching fr smth, i still cnt find it n I'm frigging pek chek n sleepy..
Y is time never enough? :(

The end,
Nites

Life's unpredictable lil bumps

Sudden pops of choices and hopes.
Sudden excitement and fear.
Sudden realization of reality.
Sudden feel of comfort.

Sudden gitters of denial.

Pray

Thursday, March 04, 2010

Amen!

God sent me a hug, a hope, a lil sweet this morn. I'm keeping my bitterness og yesterday because I feel very loved my him!

He showed me a lil light of encouragement and made me faced my fear!

Amen!

Even if I do not go through tmr, I feel very loved already.

I hate to say this but I really hate to be such a wimp! A baby!!!!! & iPhone is making me blog so conviniently it's flooding my blog w emo complains of me!

Boo~

The underlying ache surfaced.

Understanding.

I should have known, selfish thoughts of your ideals.

It's been tad long, I kept the real word of giving up. And when I did, you made me realize why I had to keep it in pain for as long, because saying it out hurts more.

I need none of your harsh ways to make me grow up already, it's making me respect you less.

I feel that I'm baring my own mistake.
A mistake of the unsightly. Yet, I feel no warmth in correcting it.

Alone in this space, and all I can feel is my tears.

I am not speaking a word of it to u ever.
I will correct my life for my own sake.

希望我们都能加油。。

The road of fear and weary

In life there are so many pitstops, so many juctions, so many milestones and so many bents.

When control is not there and when your heart doubts, who's there to keep u feeling well?

Everyone fears, everyone questions.
Who answers?

For god's plan we trust.

But it hurts to see some weary and wonder what's god's plan for thee?
*

I've learnt to seek by the bit and wait by
The least. It's un satisfying comfort but the wearyness lives low.

Breathe n be thankful i am.

Greener pastures on the other side afar ya~

Gdnight.
