Some ppl are just part of your journey
I have slowly resigned to the fact that some ppl just cant be with me forever. I used to hold on dearly to some friendships. I look at the letters and cards repeatedly trying find bits and pieces of that friendship left. Sometimes wonder if the old picture can be restored but many times i'm hit with the harsh reality that it cant. Lives have moved on, they have started a new phase of their lives now busy with new agendas. And why am i here still stepping on the same rythm? I thought it is necessary that one day we might be together in the same synergy again. But circumstances and God showed me that many new things are waiting for me. Other ppl and matters are waiting at my door for me to face, to handle, to grow with, to be blessed with and appreciate. I learnt one lesson, to let go so that i can grab hold of something better.
Some ppl are just part of my journey, they were there to brush my weaknesses, they were there to cheer me on, they were there to bring the best out of me, they were there to hold my hand. Some relationships failed, that were lessons to learn of myself. New challenges arrived, those were times of testing of my faith in God. I thank God for the people whom he placed in my life at each stage. I've begun to appreciate their existence. Without them, whether positive or negative impact, I wouldnt have grown to this maturity.

For my Dad...
My dad is having an eye op this fri...is it minor or major i dun noe.. but i guess it's common for diabetic patients. The situation is that his right eye cant see due to a layer of scar blocking the vision. And there is wide spread of ruined blood vessels. I dun noe what the future holds for him sincerely speaking. Looking at him sometimes saddens me. If he has done enuf to prevent and cure his illness, i wouldnt be that upset. But for one who loafs most of the time...who indulge in high carbo and oily food.. i have nothing much to say. I just pray that he'll be less stubborn and that he can see again. Pray with me...

When signs are showing
Can you feel the heat recently? Even a sunshine girl like me cant bear it nowdays... the sun is really blazing hot. I remembered the highest temperature that we'll ever hit in Singapore is 33 deg.. but now it goes as high as 35. So the scientists predict the world's average temperature will go up by 1 deg each year? By then we'll have more illnesses related to heat stroked..dehydration etc...
so what am i saying? will we stay forever so safe and undisturbed? Chile's major earthquakes has triggered off mini tsunamis and many smaller-scaled shakes. Haiti just had a taste of a great mishap... what is the world coming to? Many of us in singapore wouldnt think or ever worry that the world might come to an end because we are so far from being seriously affected by a natural disaster or calamity. Citizens at Chile wouldnt felt the same way, those selling photos of tsunami at Phulet will still remember the dreadful hours. Being in a country that is safely situated doesnt mean we are disconnected from the rest of the world... we are still under the same sun and governed by the same natural rules.
If the world is really coming to an end, what will you do with your life? Still plan to visit the IR or gamble hard so that you become one of the lucky TOTO millonaire winners? =) Though i wish i am...but guess that cant be my lifetime goal. Being fruitful and successful in life doesnt entail the neccessity to be rich. Really. You can be well provided for, you can have the luxury to travel and have manicure every week but being loaded enough to collect sports cars should not be the most important thing in life. Have u ever heard of anyone who will boast their own wealth and career achievements at their death bed? A few maybe.. but i guess that will be the minor exception of the population at large.
The world will end. In this generation? I am not sure... nobody can know the exact timing but signs are definitely showing. Many thought that the movie 2012 is a little exaggerating. But each time i watch it i cant help but to think it just depicts the real picture of what is going to happen. You think it's too far fetched? =) I cant blame you. The everyday calm night sky, faithful sun rise, regular bus arrivals, usual jams just dont show isnt it? Anw whatever happens, i believe it is important that we lived meaningfully. Someone once said "it doesnt matter when or how we die, it matters how we lived.." It is not about indulging in korean dramas everynight..not abt playing with your pets everyday..not abt doing your household chores faithfully.. but how much you loved your family and friends.

Are you eaten up by the mundane?
I shared with a friend today... this thing about staying so predictable. Many of us loses the capability or willingness to be creative as we walk into adulthood, into the world of busyness and predictable schedules. Everyone of us can testify to this, no matter whether you are student, a working adult, a high management or anybody ordinary. Are you often caught in unending or same routines without asking yourself why are you doing that? =)
The pain or the price of being comfortable in where we are is losing the chance to be different, to reach the real potential within us. Have you heard the story of Susan Boyle? The mid-life woman who sang her heart out during Britian Got Talent? She leashed out talent as much as she could as if she would never have the chance again. And her effort paid her off... She is now so prominent throughout the world having her first album released glamorously. What is she adored for? People looked to her as she is a symbol of victory won despite all odds. Scientists came to discover that majority of us only utilised 10-20% of our brain throughout our entire life. So what happened to the 80%?
Many of us are being afraid of taking the risks, losing the challenge or courage to face the results. In return what we've got is achieving the same results for the same tasks performed, busy in dealing with the non-ending life problems and etc. How does it benefit us? We've gotten emptiness and disappointment with life and surroundings. Do you know that God created in you a talent? And some other things that make you unique? Look within you, what is the thing you love to do and what is that you are good at? Grab hold of it and see what you can do with it? Each of us carries an unpolished diamond...if you do not allow it to be tested and polished you'll never reach the potential you were meant to be... so start evaluating?

Fun-out at Sentosa Wave House
It's time to recommend new places again! This is my version of the cheng ren xing zha zi? Hee... anw, i went to this place with Zann.. partly for my bdae cele...This was shown in the friday evening mediacorp prog. So i decided to give it a try since i'm a fan of sea sports.. =) It didnt look very impressive actually..just a basketball court size surfing area. N the beginner one looked smaller. But it wasnt as easy as i tot. first i had to balance myself on the board... then to stay as long as i can on the board holding on to the rope then to stand on my own without aid...i bruised my knee.. and my neck and waist ached alot the day after. The same happened to Zann. I guess we were too tensed up. Being swept by the strong wave is quite unglam lo..anw the price is $35 for waverider (beginners) and $45 for Wavebarrel (immediate) i think... otherwise u can checkout sentosa website!
