Well, it is that time of the year again. the time when I wake up and think to myself hmmm so how old is it this year? very old. So I guess there are somethings I can say because I am older by one year and I am the oldest around in the groups *lol*
Go get a blackberry.
I finally landed my hands on one. I have always wanted to own that nice looking cool phone. Over the years, I have been reading reviews of the gadget and salivating. even before all that jazz about the iphone started. no doubt, an iphone is fascinating, what with all the suave scroll screen and apps, the blackberry ranks high on the list of kick-ass-get-my-balls-rolling phones. Bye bye Nokia. Forever I hope. Hello Blackberries. now, in my hands after such a long wait.. ahhhhhhh …
You know who is the one when you will brave fire and hell.
Of late, a dear friend and I have been talking. more exchanging tips on relationships. he has found the woman of his dreams and is on the chase for the could-be love story of his life. Through all the texts and information exchange with him, I realised that in the past one year, I have actually gained alot of insight in relationships and the likes. with the love of my life. Through the past year plus, we have been through hell of alot (and I really mean hell. I had rather be naked neck choked by a semi naked fat sweaty man then have to go through it) but I would say, it is all worth it. I know I would never have so much fun without you.
Friends are people who share their lives, feelings and thoughts with me. I go a long way with sincerity.
I have learnt what it really means to be able to tune into the minds of my lovely friends. to talk to them and understand what they are feeling, thinking and hoping. things really do look and feel different when you adjust the lens. So I need to look through the lens in order for us to go a long way.
Go back home today and show your appreciation to your parents.
I make it a point to eat with/talk to my parents at least once a week. even simple things like watching TV together, waking up earlier to catch a glimpse of them before they head out for work. the times I have missed out running around are regrettable and gone but I will try to gather what I can. I know they miss me a lot all those times just that they never told me. My parents are especially happy when they get to see me. I did not realise my parents are so old already. The other day I watched my mother while she folded the clothes and I saw how much she has aged. all the wrinkles and saggy skin. and my father too. the heavy set of a happy man happy with his job and the brown dog at home. I feel really bad being away from them so much in the past ten years. I am glad I still have the chance to make things better. Do it before it is too late.
For the friend who is not here anymore, my door is always open so don’t stray far yea.
Recently, I have been estranged from someone whom I have always regarded as a family. I now have no idea what she is thinking about, what’s going on in her life, and was it me or her that changed over the past months. I am sure it did not just happen overnight. Along the way, things must have happened that I did not take note of. And I feel really bad about it.
They say people do change when they are growing up and finding their own identity. Maybe her idea of that falls far from me.
Don’t fret about things you cannot control. Love and live life.
I reckon some things, you cannot completely stop it from happening. All you can do is slow down the apocalypse that is accompanying it. In the process, just hope and pray that the people involved gets enough to handle it.
Save money. You will never know when you’ll need it.
I recount all the times when I had to do surgeries, pay for things that I do not expect to happen and pay for my future. and I imagained if my parents hadn’t instill in me that virtue, I would at most times be left handicapped, frustrated and depressed. So ya, thank god.
Be thankful to be living in Singapore.
I would not say the living here is what I had in ideals but it is better than most places. Not many places abroad you can find security, the government doing everything they can to make us happy people, the great variety of food places, the numerously alot rubbish bins, clean streets, everything within an arm’s length, the up education standard. That is not to say I don’t have my one cent’s worth but for now, I am thankful.
Own dogs.
They are the best comforters when you are sad and need a smelly body to hug or walk with. I know because I have two really smelly ones.
Don’t let your heart rule your life.
Many times in the past I have let this ruin many things I could have it good for me. Head over heart is the way to go.
Find that balance between work and play. Find time to read and rest.
Many friends I know are burnt out before they even hit 40, some even 30s because they do not know how to balance the both. Too much work is not good because it tires you out mentality and physically, neither is too much play good too. The key is to find that balance, before you lose yourself. Losing yourself is much harder to find then time.
