Going forward 2010

2009 has been a very eventful year.

I have accomplished nothing,

but was made to see clearly things,

that were previously uncertain of.

My health took a serious setback,

forcing me to go to and fro SGH and TTSH

to search for the cause and a solution.

CS went through 2 surgeries in CGH,

that made me realise how important he is to me.

I came to see,

how much adults can behave like children,

come as a clique to ostracise and bully.

Yet the emotional trauma they inflicted,

was done in a more subtle and silent way,

and hell, ya, it hurts,

but everybody will keep pretending

that whatever shit they do,

everything is still ok.

In the midst of these chaos,

God brought me angels.

Whatever God He is,

I am very grateful for them.

I am grateful

that everytime I was at my low,

someone will come to me,

put a hand on my shoulder,

and allow me to be in their company,

with no agenda, and no obligations,

just being there, in their warmth.

I am grateful for CS,

who walked with me through all these,

and never fail to put back that smile on my face.

2009 has not been a good year,

but I shall not dwell on it.

I went to 四马路观音堂 that day to pray.

I drew a lot,

that says badly of what is to come in 2010.

I prayed again and I told Her,

that whatever is to come in 2010,

I will face it.

I will not falter,

and I will find a solution to it.

Whatever it is,

I will do whatever it takes.

So that will be my 2010.

I shall be strong,

and I will be healthy and happy.

Doors

You take this road,

you're not sure where it leads

but once you take it,

another road comes in,

another junction comes in.

So you really do not know,

because you have not taken that road.

My Christmas

Sky-high :)

Singapore is so beautiful at night.

Thank you for giving me so much love.

I love you too.

圣诞快乐

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Life may be tough,

but we shall get over it,

play and be merry while we can.

Hugs and kisses,

Me.

我很怕

如果一直这样下去

将来会怎样

但我不能害怕

我必须相信

一切会有解决的办法

我要相信

一切会好起来的

然后不再去想

不再去猜

好好做自己能做的

然后继续相信

我很怕

但是我要相信

The amazing daze - 19th Dec 09

CS got to know of this race.

Seeing that my brother had FUN playing the Cola race last weekend,

we decided to join it for some fun as well.

We were deciding where to meet while waiting for the first clue,

and somehow, for some reason, we decided to wait at my place.

Then at 12.50pm,

came the first clue via email.

By then, it was raining very heavily.

My place was a good 20min bus ride from the MRT,
so we decided to take a cab there in the end.

We waited and waited,
then something interesting happened.

A malay boy came out of nowhere,
and started to walked in front of us,
braving the rain, to hail a cab.

We thought that he needed the cab more,
hence we did not stop him.

To our surprise,
he got the cab and directed it to us!

He was actually waiting for the bus,
and never intended to take a cab after all.

So in we board the cab,
thanking him profusedly.

Our first pitstop is Kreta Ayer CC.

I didn't managed to take any photos,
as I already have problems completing the challenge.

Luckily my game master is a nice man,
who kept whispering the answers to me. :D

Then our next clue.

CS immediately knew where to go,
so off we went to MINT, the toy musuem.

The next challenge was easier,
solving a jigsaw puzzle.

I finished the challenge rather quickly,
and spent some time admiring the interesting exhibits.

Our 3rd clue - the deadly clue.

We both thought it was referring to Mount Faber,
so we took a cab all the way to the top of it.

But we couldn't find anything,
or rather, anyone.

We see no contestents there,
nor any sight of the organisers.

We asked around, was given wrong information,
asked around again, ran here and there.

I think we covered almost the entire Mt Faber,
before finally have an idea of how to go to
Telok Blangah Green.

On our way to Telok Blangah Green,
through Henderson Waves.

We were really tired then,
CS didn't even have the mood to take out his camera and take photos of a place
he kept wanting to visit and do photography.

Okay, from then, no more photos.

And so the story goes,
we finally reach the pitstop,
and like a bad drama,
the game master smile apologetically to us and say,
" Sorry, but you're the last team to arrive."

Fine, they didn't exactly say that.

They told us that all prizes were taken,
and many did not complete the race because of the rain.

So we took some pictures to prove that we were THERE,
and then took the tree top walk to go down to the main road.

Another long journey down....

And then finally, a glimpse of civilisation!

Then we took a cab to Plaza Singapura for dinner, afterwhich we went on to walk down Orchard Road for some photo-taking. :)

We were really bustling with energy huh?

This year's Orchard Road is beautiful.

Reminds us of Christmas in Bangkok. :)

There were a lot of festive singing and performance.

Oh, and I took the above picture,
stopping in the middle of the road while crossing it.

I love Christmas :)

Can't wait for my Christmas surprise.

Almost fraud

Went shopping and massage session

with Mother and little sister today.

The entire day was good,

except for sister's bad cough;

and the massage was better,

except for their scheming hardsell.

The after-massage experience was so terrible,

I felt threatened to do whatever I can to protect my own interest.

Still Mother was the experienced one,

coming to my rescue and demanding them

to return the unsigned credit card bill.

I am thankful for UOB credit card call centre personnel as well,

for telling the Body Wellness manager my rights,

and advising me on how to deal with the situation.

Fancy trying to lie to me,

and force me pay for something I did not intend to pay for.

I understand when you try to hardsell,

because it is your job to do so.

But lying through your teeth is another matter.

I totally am disgusted with liars.

I am not ever going back there again.

The mundane

Yesterday was a very enjoyable day.

Went to my last yoga session with Brandi,
a very enjoyable session.

Michelle, one of the instructors
whom I have much respect for was there as well,
and when I was in the changing room,
I heard Lina's (another instructor) voice.

For a moment I felt like I am really going to miss
yoga practice with all these instructors.

But no.

Think about the monies saved
and that I no longer need to drag myself every week
all the way to Takashimaya at pushing timings,
I am sort of glad this comes to an end.

From now on I will pace myself,
to swim / run / play badminton / do yoga for an hour,
at least once a week.

This blog shall be my witness. :D

After lunch,
we went to watch New Moon.

And it got me so confused about where my heart lies,
vampires or werewolves?

I love Edward,
his knowledge and wisdom,
the way he often so beautifully speak of his love.
Minus the fangs.

But I tell you,
Jacob is HOT.

Okay, his body is HOT,
but his intensity is irresistible.

My heart is totally with him.

After the movie,
I kept pushing him to choose which he wants to be.

He insisted on being human,
and commented that it's a crap plot,
making the girl to choose between 2 monsters.

Sigh, yeah...
it's so tough to need to choose
between 2 mesmerising monsters.

Nevertheless,
it was wonderful day.

Sometimes things so simple,
can make life so wonderful. :)

I love Edward, I love Jacob;
and most of all,
I love you most. :)

Wise words

Paulo Coelho - My master and I

Just want to share this, pertaining to what I wrote earlier.

信念

许多事情我们无法控制，

所以要给予时间证实，

然后尽自己的本分实施。

不论好坏，

不管喜欢与否，

时间仍继续跑着，

生活仍需继续过着。

你可以选择的是，

你要乐观积极地渡过这个难关，

还是自怨自艾地沉醉在自以为凄惨不堪的境况。

这个，

给自己，给太阳，

还有生活不顺利的你。

看待事情的角度，

往往是一念之间的观点形成的。

这世界很大。

只要眼角再放宽、放大一些，

你原以为巨大的污点，

其实就变得渺小。

我相信 否极泰来。

一切不好的，

总有一天会过去的。

没有人会永远沉在“不好”之中，

就像世界上的许多原理一样，

有起就一定有落。

有落，

也就一定有起的一天。

祝愿失落的人都振作起来，

继续尽自己的力量让明天过得更好。

祝福身体不适的人身体快点好起来，

然后好好享受这美丽的世界所给予的一切。

May happiness be with us all.
