busy busy week.. finally had time to chill out a lil tonight.. i was working late when a friend called up for dinner. Sensing that i wasnt really in the working mood already, i went to meet up.
what i expected as a normal dinner turned out quite interesting and we decided to go for a midnight movie. It was a good movie - A Good Year by Russell Crowe. There's good actors, spectacular scenary and a rather good storyline.
what i wanted to say was not exactly how good the movie was, but thru'out tonight's 'date', i realised how easily one can 'fall in love' when you let down your guards, relax, some entertainment and maybe a lil tiredness, when a nice guy comes along, you can see sparks going off.
of cos for me, that didnt happen.. but it could have.. Life's pretty exciting when the 'unexpecteds' happen..

Today something dawned on me - Life is vulnerable.
I know thats a fact but deep in me i know there's something else. Then this phrase came to my mind: the human spirit is strong. I thought," Yes, this is true!"
i thought we cant deny the vulnerability of life - we can be well today and struck with sickness tomorrow (becos we lived in an imperfect world), we can be in love today and out of it tomorrow (cos not everyone thinks the same as we do), we can be working today and out of job tomorrow etc. There are so many things that we cant control thus the vulnerability of life.
Then think again, what's next if such things really happens? We can choose - life or death; blessings or cursings..
we can choose to fight on or we can choose to give up. Many of us read or heard of stories of people who are despair and thus give up on life. its sad, cos there's no turning back.
I also have seen the strong human spirit at work. A lady who suffered from breast cancer - she battled the sickness bravely and also maintained a positive attitude and bring joy and hope to other patients around her. She passed away some months back but i believed she had been an inspiration to many.
I believe that the human spirit is strong enough to overcome all unfavourable circumstances, as long as we choose life and blessings.
Fight on!!

one day after my broken relationship.. the sun still rises and sets.. life goes on.. haha surely i dont expect time to come to a standstill because of me!!
Today began with me having to attend a wedding reception. I sort of looked forward to it - it was going to be held in a hall in a museum. Its a venue i havent attended. It was beautiful.
Today i saw a few simple happiness moments. 1st, i saw a toddler innocently and cautious flipping thru the bride and groom's guestbook, looking really interested in the pictures that were stuck on it. He was looking up now and then to see if he got any disapproving look from any adults surrounding him. He is so innocent and cute.
Then in the evening after the wedding, i went to church to serve in the elderly church service. One elderly lady whom i visited quite often talked to me as i was sending them back, she looked at me and said to me that i was late for the service, she didnt see me earlier. This continued when i brought her home. She told her room mate that i did not join them until later in the evening during the service. Little did i know, my presence did make some difference to an elderly woman. I was touched. She made me feel loved.
Little things like that fill my love tank. Being in my church, i feel at home.
~Home is where the heart is; my heart is where my home will be~

i made a decision today to let go of a relationship that was not working out. it wasn't easy - i had opened my heart and allow myself to be emotionally vulnerable. it was a risk i had to take and i lost the gamble i took. i wanted to be angry cos it seemed that the fault was not with me but i decided to not torment myself. i let go of my anger and i felt a sense of peace in my heart. the feeling of sadness and longing is still there, but no heaviness or anger. i was being good to myself. i couldnt say that i felt happy but i managed to close a chapter of my life.
how will the next chapter begin?

What is Love?

I was down with serious cold for a few days.. barely recovered today. i decided to update a lil on my blog.. the topic love came to my mind.
So what is love? an emotion that gives you goosebumps? or a nice feeling? In my opinion, love is not just a word; also not just a feeling.. it's a promise, an action, a sacrifice, a covenant..
What do you think?

hey.. been thinking quite a bit lately due to all the events happening around me. Wanting to share my thoughts again today but do not know what to put in the title. Instead, i decided to write the message first.
Two words came to my mind 'communication' and reciprocate'. i'm not exactly a thinker, just to qualify first before i continue. Many will not disagree that communication is an art but what about communication being a commitment? To want to communicate, that is to want to be understood. Many a times, i want to be understood- i want to communicate my feeling thoroughly but maybe the fear of not being reciprocated prevented me from doing so 100% of the time, thus communication is hanged- just like when a computer hanged- everything is ineffective and immovable.
i have my fears of rejection, fear that the feelings are not mutual but will my feelings be reciprocated? i may give it a try again.

Whew.. its been such long time since i posted a blog.. Things have been busy, eventful and unpredictable. Thus with so many mixed feelings in me, i decided to write this blog.
I've always known that people are imperfect and that it is a fact that that will disappoint. But i believe in heart of hearts, i still believe that there may be one who will hold fast to his or her promise. But when that doesnt happen, i got disappointed again. That's when i will again tell myself that change is truly the only constant in life and that is something i have to manage since i cant change the fact.
I get disappointed but that i tell myself it's another bump in this journey call life.

Just want to voice out my 2-cents worth of opinion about some really young people that i encountered today (made me sounded sort of old). I was on the verge of asking them to SHUT UP... This is what happened.
I was in the train when 3 young girls boarded the train. They were just fine like normal school girls, until a guy came on the train. He should be an expat in Singapore from his accented English (he's not from an English speaking country and i shall let it remain anonymous). He was speaking kind of loud on his mobile phone, not that loud loud, but audible for people around him. Seriously it wasnt that bad. Despite that i was tired i didnt find it irritating. But the 3 girls started complaining how they dislike people talking on the mobile phone (when 1 of them was doing that) and what turned me totally off was when they started making fun of this guy's accent when they didnt speak good english themselves.. They were so outright RUDE by repeating his mispronounced words (they were purposely making themselves heard by him). I glared at them everytime they repeated a word, totally embarrassed by them.
This freedom of speech is being abused here in Singapore and the "cannot care less" attitude is like making basic courtesy and humility exclusive.
Little wonder if the world is going to be less peaceful?!?
