The silver lining

We spent the Sunday watching TVB TV series,
and shortlisting the possible flats of our choice.

That is, if we are able to get ahead of the queue in the ballot.

Whatever it is,
if we do get it, we will be happy,
and then will pray harder for the flats
to be completed much earlier, way before August 2012,
which doesn't yet include the renovation phase.

If we do not get it,
perhaps it's meant to be for us to buy a resale.

Hm... I wonder if my indian neighbours are intending to relocate.

We could jolly-well buy their unit,
and Dad said he will buy the area outside,
setting up fences and building a garden and playground.

We will have the whole floor to ourselves. :)

See, there are still things to look forward to,
you silly depressing girl.

It's the holidays,
and you shall be happy and nothing else.
Everything will turn out well.

Even if it doesn't,
there will be a way out.

You can only make things better,
by doing what you can do,
and think positively.

Enjoy this break.

Take time to sleep well,
to maintain a balance diet,
to have enough exerise and keep yourself fit.

You are so crucial,
to whether you make it or break it.

Treat yourself better.

Love yourself,
so that you can love others better.

And please never lose faith,
for everything will be well,
eventually.

To be as Water

The warrior of light sometimes behave like water,
flowing around the obstacles he encounters.

Occasionally, resisting might mean being destroyed,
and so he adapts to the circumstances.

He accepts without complaint that
the stones along the path hinders his way
across the mountains.

Therein lies the strength of water:
it cannot be shattered by a hammer or wounded by a knife.
The strongest sword in the world cannot scar its surface.

The waters of a river adapt themselves
to whatever route proves possible,
but the river never forgets its one objective:
The Sea.

So fragile at its source,
it gradually gathers the strength
of the other rivers it encounters.

And, after a certain point,
its power is absolute.

These days



I feel extremely weary.

I wish everything will turn out fine.

Please be with us.

Thank you

for loving me

for bearing with
my occasional mood swings
and at times unreasonable demands

for coming all the way
from east to north to wait for me
when i was caught in late evenings at work

for coming down
to look for me after work
when you hear unhappiness in my voice
when things don't go well
when weariness got the better of me

thank you for you

i never thought
anyone could be loved
or rather i would be loved
like the way you love me

and i want you to know
that I love you too

Thoughts


A warrior of light sometimes thinks,
"If I do not do something, it will not be done."

It's not quite something like that.

He must act,

but he must allow room
for the Universe to act too.


On the first day of year 28th


I wish for Health.

Not just for me,
but everybody else.

My family, my love,
my friends and colleagues,
and those who also wanted to get well.

Dear God,
let us be well.

Ramblings

Terminated my Pure Yoga contract.
My consultant's reaction
affirmed my decision not to continue.
So now I have to complete 8 sessions from now till 14th Dec,
and it doesn't daunt me any bit.
I am someone who become tougher,
when challenged.
Ans so what if I can't finish all 8 sessions?
Told CS that the end of yoga contract
doesn't mean the end of exercise routine.
I don't want us to be a "nuah" couple.
I want us to go out exercise at least once in a fortnight,
swim, play badminton or whatever.
That happened on Monday.
Another thing that happened as well that day,
was a bomb that landed in the email,
requiring immediate planning.
Though "no obligations",
I knew I had to do it.
Somehow I have a feeling,
it is going to affect my future in some way or another.
Despite all these,
there are still angels around.
S, S and D,
lovely people with beautiful souls,
totally perked up my days.
Visited CJ today.
I miss CJ :)
Hope that this week will pass by smoothly.
I love you very much. :)
I can't wait to have a home of our own.
