I was wondering…why is it so easy to advice others, to show empathy to them, listening to them but when it comes to my own self, I seem to fail to display all of those abilities…

最光彩的时刻/最暗淡的时刻

大多数二十多岁的男人处于他一生中最暗淡的时刻，没事业，没钱。二十多岁的女人正处于她一生中最光彩的时刻，她年轻，她漂亮。 所以20多岁的男人更应该珍惜在这个时候爱他的女人，因为她是用她一生中最光彩的时刻来陪伴你一生中最暗淡的时刻!

Being Positive

Finally, this post is up. What i have now, what i am now, whom i'm with now, who i have now is all very much thankful to one word 'positive'. I used to be pessimistic and i realise pessimism is contagious in its own way, and as it spreads, it gets worse and worse. There is no particular medicine, no particular cure. The only way is to be positive. Sounds simple? NOT AT ALL.

It's always easier said than done. There are always so much talk about being positive. It's sooo easy to say it, but to perform it, it's really difficult. It takes alot of courage, because you are risking. Being positive doesn't mean ignoring what is happening around you and living within some kind of a "positive bubble".

Definitely, no one can expect someone who is going through problems or disasters, or living in difficult circumstances, to ignore his/her present condition and start thinking positively right away. However, it is easier to think positively in comfortable situation and not in the midst of problems or a difficult situation.

So what is being positive? Saying that everything is going to be all right, smiling with no reason or ignoring problems and difficulties, without trying to solve them, is not being positive. It is being unpractical. I suppose being positive could mean to expect the best and believe that a bad situation would improve which is quite practical in some sense. Being positive can be looking for opportunities and for solutions, instead of doing nothing and blaming everybody for their troubles. It's bad enough bad situations or problems occur, therefore, don't dwell on their problems, live in self-pity because it just makes everything else worse.

Many often, when going through bad times, faced by disasters, misfortune or hardships, became despondent, negative and unhappy. It's as though there are no longer any solution to whatever they are facing at that point of time. These cirsumstances and situations then affect the mood and state of mind. Yes, although being positive will not make circumstances and condition disappear, as if by magic, but with a positive attitude you can improve the situation and be more in control of your state of mind, your reactions and your behavior. No one can control the external circumstances, but we can always change our sttitude and the way we feel, even if it means to make us feel a little bit better, even if it means to make us feel better for just a little short while.

It is not easy for that in difficult situations to think positively. This idea might not arise straight away but it's just that some would choose not to let the events they go through to affect their mind, and they are therefore happier and suffer less.

Even in the midst of war, people can think of peace. Even in the midst of disasters, people can see light and seek solace. Positive thinking is being hopeful, and hope brings light and happiness for one. One can dwell in fear and negative expectations, but and one can also try to do the best under the circumstances. It is a matter of choice.

It's Been Awhile Now

It's been quite awhile now. Everything is just starting to set in and fitting in perfectly well. Slowly and slowly, stability finds it way through the course. I'm glad it eventually did anyway. Path is getting clearer and the trails left behind never fails to stay and serve as a reminder or memory.

Chinese New Year is coming. I know it's not as happening as how i've enjoyed in when i was younger. But i can't wait for those goodies, those yummy food, and best of all, buying new clothes. This is the time of the year where i would really part with my money for clothes which i love. And guess what, shopping commences in less than 5 hours time and i simply can't wait.

Studies on the other hand has been tough. Probably much due to the fact that it's just the start of the module. I suppose it's a starting phase that i have to go through. It applies to all other aspect of life as well. But as i move myself towards graduation, i'm really glad i'm nearing the finishing line and hopefully, i can embark on my career as what i've always wanted and wish for.

Concerts! So many concerts this year! Green Day, The Killers (Damn, they cancelled in their last minute), The Muse, Rise Against, S.H.E, MayDay, JayChou, Boys Like Girls, Paramore etc...ooooo....but i'm going to be super broke if i catch all of them. Stupid Killers made me regretted not buying Green Day concert tickets instead, but then again, like what Bloms said, it's all fated. Just not meant to be. Alright, i shall put the money to good use. MayDay, here i come!!!!

Photos! I'm turning into a camwhore ever since i was 'born' because someone's back...i can't help it. I am seriously considering getting a camera. How now brown cow?

Disappointing Man Utd

I can't help but really blog about this. My passion is not as strong as before, largely due to the fact that my dad decided to remove Starhub Cable TV from our home sweet home. I choose to remain the Red Devils faithful but signing up for Singtel Mio TV for the soccer channels, not wanting to distance myself from Man Utd. But as i pen everything down now, they are literally disappointing every fans possible.

Not to mention the Glazers takeover which has already happened donkey years ago, and making Man Utd piling with debts that not you and i can ever paid for even 1/10 of it in our entire lifetime. Worse, the selling of C.Ronaldo doesn't seem to be doing Man Utd any good, even though until now, i still want to believe C.Ronaldo isn't what's behind Man Utd success in recent seasons. Lastly, their inconsistency and injury lists is the most worrying part. None and i really mean none, not even my Beloved Ryan Giggs, is consistent this season. Let alone the old white retard who loves chewing on his gum and has been standing by the sidelines for decades always not knowing what he is doing exactly.

Probably i sounded harsh, but put yourself in the shoes of every Red Devils fan, that is exactly how we will feel. Disappointment after disappointment. Loss after loss to opposing team which we would even not want to see and worse, losing to Leeds United, giving up the FA cup which Man Utd has claimed honours for years.

I dare not hope for anything else, but i'll just look forward to next season but meanwhile, i shall get myself into the mood of world cup. Hope Argentina don't disappoint as much as Man Utd does.

Go Argentines!

I Feel Blessed....

I can’t believe, even until now that I have such mentality…I realize, that I won’t be able to have that without a certain belief I held and still holds so strongly..

I suppose…it’s her, those ‘make so much sense’ quotes…those real life true touching stories….those meaningful song lyrics, those lessons I learnt from my past that really sees me through each and every single day….

Blessed…

07 Jan 2010 - 一切的开始。。 [Edited]

Just like that, we're together. But if you look in between that three words 'just like that', there are so much of fine details, and it is basically these three words that brought us together eventually.

Everything seems amazing. So amazing i never thought that one day...
...i'll be saying i love you

From someone whom existence was once, barely noticed, crushed on you for bare two days, afterwhich, totally didn't bother about your existence. And there you go, becoming someone i love. Becoming a person i want to share my life with, becoming a person i want to commit in taking care and making you happy. Seiously, i'm not sure when did i fall in love with it, but i'm sure it all begins with something simple, so simple it can be described in one word, called like. I began liking your company, i began liking how you would share, i began liking your presence and eventually, i realised i missed all of those whenever you are not around, just so unknowingly. Slowly and slowly, i realise i needed them to make my day. I realise i need your presence to make me feel myself.

I kept my distance as much as possible. I knew my limits, i drew that line clearly and appropriately. Until i feel that i was given the go ahead, i go beyond slightly. To test myself, to make sure i was sure of myself, to make sure i was sure of my feelings, to make sure i was sure of what i want. At the same time, to test you, to test if you do like me or if not, my presence. My efforts were appreciated. I felt positive. I moved on day by day. I wanted to get closer to you. All of those, you react well. I can't help, but really simply can't help wanting to be even closer to you.

Eventually, i got affected by little twiny stuff about you. Simply everything and anything you do starts to affect me. I get upset or disappointed whenever you said things that makes me feel all is gone. I get superbly happy whenever you said things that makes me feel, i'm ready to make the next move.

Eventually i got myself into a 'do and fail terribly or do and continue' situation. I struggled the worst then. But the angel in me, wants me to give it a shot. To give this thing called love a shot again. Telling me how i shouldn't live in my shadow of the past. Telling me how i deserve someone better. Telling me how i myself can still give happiness and love to that someone better. Telling me how i should be positive. Telling me how i should try and fail rather than not try and regret it all. And finally, eventually i did, after much much much thought. I gave this so much thought that i can think of anything that could possibly be thought off, even until 'death do us part'. And possibly because of that, i'm amazed even by myself the amount of courage i had to confess to you. Everything feels magical, that i feel i had my own fairytale for a moment.

I started to ponder....
what if i didn't include you into those chain emails
what if my previous relationship didn't failed
what if you rejected my request to ask you out
what if i didn't drive out at times to go supper with you
what if i didn't joined MR years ago
what if i didn't go Japan
and finally the big qns, what if i didnt confess.......

All the 'what ifs' made me feel, fate plays a huge chunk of most of it. It's almost everything was pre planned. It's as though all of those mentioned was destined and suppose to be. It''s like we had to go through what we went through. It's as though all that happened for a reason, for a reason we didn't realise, for a reason we didn't think it is and eventually for a reason we are starting to accept and eventually it's for that reason we are finally together.

I know how hard both of us tried to keep our belief. I was extremely happy when you let known your feelings that day. It made me feel, appreciated. It made me feel that i can once again believe in love. It made me feel, important to you to a certain extent. With that, i became positive, wanting to show your my sincerity, wanting to put my words into action, wanting to let you feel loved, wanting to make you happy, wanting to make you find your happy self back, wanting to make you know, all is gone but not lost.

There's ups and downs throughout. I don't know, call it lucky, which i do feel. I'm lucky to fall in love with a friend. Lucky because i need not guess what kind of person you are. Lucky because i know who i'm falling in love with. Lucky because i do not have to guess so much into you. All that, i felt so strongly, i found the right one. When i see how pessimistic you are sometimes, it got into me, but never once did i felt disheartened and wanting to give up. Instead, i remained positive and hope i can help you tide over this tough period.

We too had our good days. All those moments make me even sure of what i've got myself into. It made me even sure of who i am really with. All that makes me feel that i'm ready to fall in love again, makes me feel i'm ready to commit a relationship with you. Although there's hesitation, nevertheless, my belief held so strongly all because my feelings was so overwhelming and it overcomes all of that.

Now that we're together. I realised how much i'm willing to do for you yet again. All these are those never before feeling. Somehow, i matured. Maybe not, but i feel that way. I will work hard, i must work hard and i am doing so, because i see a future with you right now that i want to build on, and i realise and know i can't do this alone but with you. And for all of the above mentioned, i want to let you know...I Love You

The Day Came

-continued-

Never expected. It just came so unexpectedly and amazingly. Even i couldn't believe it myself at times. Reflecting on last year, it's like impossible. I thought i'll believe in it again, all because everything seems to be so impossible. The pessimism carries me through most of last year, until I was able to share this pessimism. Somehow, it’s not only the listening that did good, but the sharing helps a lot. Gradually, I was able to see things on a different light, she made it easier and possible.

Little by little, everything got accumulated. The initial intention slowly and steadily, has its change of course. It became and developed into something I didn’t realize until it came knocking so unknowingly, at the least expected place and timing. The disbelief slowly turns into an eagerness that makes me feel like pursuing it. Slowly, I asked myself, why didn’t I realize and noticed before. Probably, it’s what they say the right person with the right timing, fate brought and pieced everything together nicely.

It wasn’t easy, yet it wasn’t totally vague. The consequences was known, the uncertainty decreased but there are fear still. The huge boulder is off my load, and the assurance is making me sure and more committed then before. I had followed my heart all along, and it did served me well like how others did successfully before. I rolled on to learnt from my past, and apply it for the future, in hope that everything will work out despite the expectance of problems in future, all because this is probably just about one of the wishes I had fulfilled. There are no seas without waves, no roads without humps, no flight without turbulence. It’s only all about how we worked through that, that would make everything else a more memorable and better one. I trust myself to do the utmost and yes, I have that faith – for Bloms.

Marriage Is Good For Health

Source from ChannelNewsAsia.

WELLINGTON : Despite the barbs of comedians and the spectacular bust-ups documented in the gossip magazines, marriage really is good for you, international research has found.

A study of nearly 34,500 people in 15 countries found married people are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and substance abuse, clinical psychologist Kate Scott of New Zealand's University of Otago said Tuesday.

"What our study points to is that the marital relationship offers a lot of mental health benefits for both men and women, and that the distress and disruption associated with ending marriage can make people vulnerable to developing mental disorders," Scott said.

Being separated, divorced, or widowed is associated with increased risk of mental health disorders in both men and women, particularly with depression in men and drugs and alcohol abuse in women.

"One of the more important findings is that in recent years it has been asserted that marriage is better for men than for women in terms of mental health. This study does not agree with that position," Scott said.

"We found that compared to never getting married, getting married is good for both men and women in terms of most mental health disorders."

But the study did find that men were less likely to become depressed in their first marriage than women, and Scott said this might be due to women being more likely to follow the traditional role of a wife first time around.

Other studies have found that as gender roles have become less traditional, with women working more and becoming better educated, female depression has fallen.

The latest study also found getting married reduced the risk of substance abuse more for women than for men.

This might be due to evidence that women cut their alcohol consumption sharply when they became pregnant and this often continued while the children were young, Scott said.

The study was based on the WHO World Mental Health surveys across developing and developed countries conducted over the past decade.

Sweet...

Sometimes, it just tastes as sweet as it can be......

Good Enough?

Everyone ponders that. It's a food for thought. I used to come to a stage whereby i ask this question to myself. Although i hardly ask myself that question anymore, but it's seriously something for us to think about at times. I'm not the only one who ponder over this question on whether are we good enough or not. It's difficult to define whether you are good enough or not. What seems to be good might just be the other way round for the other. This question need not be specific but can encompass everything, anything you can think of literally.

Definitely, there are many times when i feel that i'm not good for anything. Questions slowly float over your head, "Why am I the way i am now? "Who could have love me for who i am?". If i be frank to myself, sometimes, when that question came to my mind, i would gladly pull myself apart by going through every aspect and every part of me and saying what i hate about myself and getting more depressed, but i realised it's a wrong move, seriously. It's always easier to pinpoint at others, sometimes yourself but when you start to get pessimistic about life, you begin to lose that confidence. What's worse is we can fall into the trap of only listening to the negative things people have to say about us and not the positive ones. Yes, it can be difficult to not believe what are really just lies, especially when it comes from someone who's close or dear to you. One area the negativity can manifest itself is through our own pessimism. Therefore, it's sometimes hard not to be deceived.

No one is alone seriously. Because most of all are human, we feel almost the same. We have our down side, we have our good moments. All it takes sometimes it to just grab hold and pull yourself out of the self loathing. If we all walked around with a sign asking for what we most wanted in our lives the sign would say 'love me'. It's an ideal self image that one is trying to build. It's like this scenario of 'Love me the way I am. I know I am so imperfect but I do try.'

The thing is that obviously we don't carry that very sign but instead, we carry an invisible one. We all need love, be it when and from who. But you can't receive love until you learn to love yourself.

Do you?

True?

Life is not about the people who seems true in front... But it''s about the people who remain true behind you!

Changes..

Changes. How many is adaptive to this word? How many is able to able to accept and welcome it positively? Some usually fear changes because of the uncertainty it brings. Some usually welcome it with both hands because of the good they hoped it might bring. Not being adaptive to changes, can it be a flaw?

Somehow, sometimes, adapting to changes is not about how we survive the change but more importantly, how we thrive over that change. Surviving the change doesn't mean anything seriously, it's probably just a start of what seems to be a process of making that change a good one or bad one.

Changes are feared at times but sometimes, it's not fear but it's purely misinterpretation of the situation possibly because of misplaced trust. It gets so overwhelming at times that it hit the confidence level, it allow frustration to sets in, it overcomes our courage, it make us lose the overall ability to trust even ourselves, not to mention others.

Changes, be it big or small, it will require participative actions. Only then will we be able to work out the chances in time to come. Work round it if it doesn't work going straight.

Try to fail but don't fail to try - Stephen Kaggwa (it's better to try and fail than never to try at all). We human sometimes won't want to pass that opportunity or grow older and allow those 'what ifs' and 'if onlys'to keep growing all over your head.

Changing our minds or hearts will change our lives. It's ultimately is very dependent on us. I gave it all nothing but serious and long thought, since the start. Slowly and slowly, i realise, it's making use of the time and adapting to the necessary changes. It's like a water bubbles slowly moving downside into the centre, combining into one water bubble altogether. I'll see myself in that water bubble soon..

Horoscope reading for Scorpio

This year, you start a new cycle of your life. It is in you that many changes will finally occur in a visible way. You are ready to concretize aspirations you have contemplated in the shade for three years. Your external vitality is increased during this time, you feel strong impulses to live fully in harmony with your ideals.

Work
This year is ideal to take strong initiatives in your professional life, they will not miss impact. You have force to overcome your fears to launch a project and all that is relating to creations in the broad sense. You affirm yourselves in manner more incisor than usual, you will seek to make developments in your relations, while going at the bottom of things. On the other hand, you are extremely likely to badly put at ease certain people you will have desire for causing so that they are shown under their true day. Be careful with abuses, do not believe that everyone needs this “shock treatment” to be shown such as he is… You will be tempted to resort to power struggles to mark your presence. Some disappoint you, others will be for you invaluable supports, you do not turn sour in front of these transformations you will have caused…, Take the advantage of the depth of your reasoning before acting to avoid making decisions too quickly, wait for April.

Love
This year starts under passion sign, it will be all or nothing, black or green! You feel life instincts which encourage you to benefit from good, you will have greatest difficulties to be reasonable, for your greater pleasure. As from April, you will fully follow this program, Love will be definitely your war-horse, you will be able to count on your attraction and persuasion capacities to arrive at living passion aspects of your desires. Profit in to entrust these secrecies which encumber you and to live your dreams… The power of your libido encourages you with excesses terribly tempting. By exceeding you in your intimacy, you will be fully in agreement with yourself. Indeed, you progress towards a better knowledge of yourself which ultimately will facilitate choices to you than you will have to make as from May with your partner or to radically transform your love life. Some couples will have to face storms or questionings which can lead to breaking up even temporary. Agreements of surface will not be sufficient any more in your eyes, you, even if it means will raise questions at the bottom of things which shock. There your sentimental sky is stabilized positively as from August, you start a new cycle in which you can build on better bases.

Wealth
This year is announced very constructive on the financial plan. Indeed, you will have in heart to consolidate your position, to reinforce your bases, and more particularly to liquidate your liability. You resolutely sort your invoices with good sense, it is the moment to make some sacrifices for a better financial balance. Your initiatives are supported by Jupiter’s energy which throughout the year encourages you to sign positive agreements in the long run, bill books, judicious placements, essential insurances, etc…. You will develop strategies to improve your long-term standard of living, you will have any latitude to devote yourself to what is really essential to you all while removing you from superfluity. The end of the year is favourable if you must make a sale of a good which belongs to you.

Relationship
You should make a temperance effort during the first four months of the year. You will tend to carry you easily, to direct you on your positions with ferocity. You can round angles without losing your assets nor your power of persuasion, be diplomat… Moreover you are sufficiently sure to let you release ballast and grant the benefit of the doubt without anything to lose there. It is as from April that you will have more facilities to leave weapons to the cloakroom, this period, until November incites you to collaborate more closely and more effectively with your entourage. Be careful on the other hand do not make promises with light, nor of concessions impossible to hold, seek balance.

Vitality
This year will be far from being of any rest, more especially as your excessivity and your emotional reactivity are likely to absorb you completely. You do not let go to subjective feelings, keep cool, take advantage from good aspects of existence which arise to you, without thinking about the past or making feel guilty. Your vitality is excellent in the whole throughout these twelve months, it is your psychic energy which will be requested. You will have absolutely to spare you as soon as possible and resource yourself in your intimacy cocoon, you will find there means surest to reload your batteries. Your form is mitigated between April and the end of June, with blows which you feel should incite you with more the calm one and of retreat. All therapies and cares related to water will be favourable to you. A feeling of respite comes to you in July and will allow you to blow nervously, it is time to benefit in all serenity from your leisure.

Jan arrives....

And so...January begins.......
What's in store?

Goodbye 2009

Year 2009 saw a rollercoaster of up and down. It was a bad start to the year with a ending on a good note. Nevertheless, a special year for me (being single after nearly 30 months), after ending a failed relationship, tussled with it for months in the early part of the year.

Year 2009 was the only year by far i travelled that much, almost to 6 countries. I realised my passion for travelling is still there. Work has been smooth, although not so much for studies. Throughout this year, studies has been alright, although not too well towards the end of the year. NATAS Fair took a huge toil on me and it took me quite a fair bit on my part to get myself back.

Everything ends well eventually. My friendships blossomed with many, of which i treasured them. Learnt alot throughout this whole year as well, and last month of this year was so good, that i eventually did realise so many things.
I'll slowly reflect through my year....

January was a tough month. I was in a stage whereby i still had to be trapped in that emotional bad state. It cost me quite abit of time and effort. It was quite bad. Things became pessimistic and so negative i couldn't see any light. Nothing seems to matter. Signs were popping out all over and telling me how bad this year would have been. Plus the fact that MiuMiu is sick, which makes everything else worse.

'You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time' - adam lincoln

I took on the courage to finally tell everyone about everything. I'm glad for the support i got, which makes me moved on. I was then able to concentrate on my work and studies like never before.


Sadly, Miu Miu passed away not long after NATAS. It was a blow for my mum especially. He was like a gift from god actually and the bond we shared, i couldn't hold back my tears upon learning the news. He was and will be remembered always, no matter what.

Mauritius, the land whereby fairytale exist, almost. My first work trip and i can't go on to explain how much i've enjoyed and learnt. It's such a beautiful place that would definitely melt your heart.

I went travelling to both Genting and Ho Chi Minh even. Seeing so many things i've never did before, really wow-ed me. The culture, the food, the people, everything. It made me realise comfortably that i'm living in a safe and clean country where almost everything was taken care of. All that made me want to pin other nearby countries like Cambodia onto my list, not forgetting Penang and Ipoh which was dearly missed by me and Don.

Somehow, i feel so tempted to blog this part with regards to the 7 wonders of the year which just so happen to a different 7 wonders :-

- To Hear
- To Touch
- To Taste
- To Feel
- To Laugh
- To Love

It's my first time i touched my mum as well when i celebrated her birthday. That letter, which she eventually decided to frame it up, definitely touched her heart totally. I became teary when she told me how much she wanted me to burn it for her when she 'moved to heaven'. That was when, i reassured myself that my mother is the best person and dearest to me on earth. Her love to me was unique in its way and unconditional.

NATAS fair was at it again and although tired, it was fun and fun and still fun. It's great to see how business is picking up and how we managed to survive this tough year. From a stage whereby everyone is fearing the sacking to a stage whereby everyone was working hard to make money for the company, it's rewarding to know everything eventually turned out well and was a huge success, which makes me feel, i can always do better.

I stepped foot into the land of Hong Kong and Macau finally. It was like a small little dream come true since young. The food and the shopping especially, tempted me. Macau and Hong Kong were a different destinations at its own end. One is a normal city in the day and dazzling sight at night, the other is a busy city on the day and buzzling destination at night. I would love to go back there again, definitely for the food i missed.

Not forgetting Hokkaido as well but this time round, it's autumn. Its yellow, red, orange maple leaves makes many jealous. Its cold weather was the first time i experience such temperature which was memorable for me. Something i wouldn't forget for my life and for the first time, i made some really good tour members which eventually became my friends.

First time MR celebrated my birthday. Not forgetting the rest as well. I'm showerd with nothing but presents, love and happiness filled that day even though the actual day happen to be my last day of my Hokkaido tour.

Halloween was indeed crazy as it can be. First time celebrated it and never did i expectmyself to be doing something like that. It used to be so far-fetched. And poof, i became some crazy serial killer which eventually, everyone had fun.

I must say, December got to be the best month of this year. Xmas lightings, Johore trips, intensive suppers trip, shopping, clubbing, whatever you can think of. I did the most courageous thing this year, partied at last, went to my first zoukout, ate my Johore bat kut teh, worked the least number of days in a month.

Eventually, everything ended on a good note. It was a vast difference between the start of the year and the end the year. Seriously, i hope 2010 would be a good year. There's more for me to look forward. I realise it's no longer how a day is meant to be by itself, but how i worked my way out to make my own day. Whatever happens, i hope i can end everyday on a good note like how i ended 2009. I will still miss the suppers, the jokes, the pourouts which makes up the bulk of what i can think of year 2009.....

-THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

Interestingly, i loved this quote. Obviously, i'm at stage two. Somehow, i never believe in Santa Claus until this year.....i think i already have the best gift
