The good old ones never fail to put a smile on your face

Life's been a little hectic since I came back from Gen Ting, first we need loads of rest cause of the accumulated fatigue we had during the exams, & of course preparing ourselves for the upcoming 6 months of attachment. But that does not mean we neglect the 'good old ones' (well, i admit i'd kinda did till SW was a little pissy on the phone when I told her i wasn't free but of course she has every right to be pissy with me; sorry mei).

I was so happy to see Chney! hehehe & poor thing she has a 'balaku' on her cheeeek! & at first sight I still thought she kena punch okay! Hahaha, & what i like about the ' good old ones' is that you just have that connection immediately when you see them & start pouring down your life stories to them one by one, and they being all so excited & cute just makes me so happy, it's like finally seeing your sisters after a long time and then gossip gossip & gosssssssippppppppppppppy!

then Jodie baby came a lil late, but she seems stress with her work! Jia you Jia you! We're always behind you, & I'm still waiting for our one day 'date' together again! WAFFFFLES! :D

Soon after, their boyfriends came to put them up, & i had my 'best friend' coming too :P hahaha. The feeling is just so great, it's like seeing each other all grown up. I still rememeber how we made the pack during secondary school days, predicting how our future 'bfs' would be, making fun of each other, pinpointing who would have a 'bf' first & who last; & who would be the slut, etc. Okay tears are welling in my eyes now, it's not because I'm sad but it's because I'm just happy of what we are & what we have today.

& the fact that we stood by each other, until now.
7 years and counting!

Just Try

I try to understand people around me as well as I can, but sometimes I think there are just some things i just don't get. I will be there for you like you guys were for me in and past and obviously still here for me now, but i need time to learn, develop & fix myself. I need the motivation & encouragement to do something I've never done before, and pasts are pasts, sometimes they may haunt you again & again;

but maybe the Lord decides to give those a chance to change, & then maybe everything will just start to fall into place. There's a fine line between love & friendship, if you know me well enough, you'll know how i deal with it;

& obviously I'll never forget the times when yous took care of me carrying heavy bags filled with groceries, or cleaning the nasty stained skirt of mine.

What is Love, Really?

I have been in & out of love many times, been through all the heart aches, the adrenaline rushes, the tears, the queezy feeling in my tummy, the flattering moments; and of course the unforgettable ones.

But what is Love, really?
I have yet to learn of the words commitment, faithfulness, thoughtfulness, let alone being romantic. My friend once told me, it's better to love and be hurt, then never loved at all. But seriously, I still feel I'm such a noob in it, I don't know where to start.
I know love holds no boundaries, like love will look pass the issue of different backgrounds, lifestyles, status, & of course, race; but when you really come to think of it, it's not as easy as it seems. Many of my friends have been through relationships and they all looked simple, and fairytale like, but somehow a part of me still fear.

Then again, fear is the heart of love, isn't it?
I've been busy searching for love, that I failed to notice, it was right in front of me, all this while.
Honestly, I think I'm one of the hardest persons to love & to take care of, I fear for you.
3 words, 8 letters, say it like you mean it; & I'm yours. x

This is a picture of my 2 baby cousins, it tells a thousand words, doesn't it?
I miss my cousins, & granny.

House

so this is the first time in many months that I've stayed home for 2 days, consecutive.
& oh, Girly "I've got a secret to tell you."

So it started with us not choosing what parents we want/choose to have, & of course, what land we'll be born in. & obviously we grew up learning the language & mother tongue our household speaks, & then we move on to making friends with strangers would looked and seemed different from us. I'm glad I grew up here in Singapore, a place that only today I'll sincerely call home.

I guess the influx of the different races coming together in one small island, is one of the reason why I love Singapore, based on the fact that other countries are having internal conflicts with their own countrymen, and us, living regardless of our race, language or religion, in harmony is something to be proud of, isn't it? Perhaps I'm just glad that my great grandparents chose Singapore as a fine city for my grandparents to live in; being successful survivors with the help of a Chinese family who picked them up along the way when they had no shelter, no money, no food, no home to live in. They probably have left this world by now, but they'll always be in my parents' and grandparents heart, & are the reason why my family exist today.

I was watching the National Day Parade earlier on, & this year's seemed simple, & the usage of water works simply made it worthwhile viewing. No doubt, it's clear that the floating platform is way smaller in displaying their performances as compared to the previous years, somehow the "Singapore" feel only touched me this year. Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm finally aware of the hard efforts the performers put in, let alone the planning of this event. I'm glad I had taken up a module called SeFest, that allowed me to somehow get a taste of the behind-the-scenes happenings as well as being a patriotic Singaporean, asking Singaporeans to recite the pledge as of today, 8:22pm.

The celebration accompanied with the theme Song, What Do You See, sang by Electrico, is something to appreciate; it's just original and different from most of the National Day theme songs, that are usually, cheezy in a way. I thought this year brings us with the best National Day song, ever.

I particularly liked the part where they had they're so called breaking news, attending to the terrorist attack, chapter 3. The fire engines, soldiers, and news forecaster were pretty cool. & the fact that many handicapped young artists got a chance to perform on that floating platform is something to be inspired at.

Someday, I wish & hope to sing on this amazing day, reaching out to all Singaporeans, delivering to each and evert heart out there, touching every soul be it within or outside this country; saying,
"Thank God, I was born, thank God i was born here; on this lil island I call, Home."

Happy 44th, Singapore.
