Before It's Too Late

Have you ever been fall into the trap of procrastinating? Have you said these sentences such as "this can wait", "maybe later" or "perhaps next time then" to yourself before? Have you ever imagine the consequences that it brings if we don't perform certain action or said certain things on/at that very instance we wanted to?

As we walked our very next time, breathe in the very next breath, utter our very next words, the clock ticks. Time is a silent killer that carefully robs time from us. We grew older every single seconds, and as much as many wish, most yearn to grew wiser, smarter, prettier, much more loving etc, all by the seconds. But, the harsh truth is, we all age. We all become forgetful and full of wrinkles when we grow old. No denial. That is the normal and rightful process we all will go through.

But, what if the unwanted and unexpected struck? For example, an accident, a disastrous calamity or a terminal illness strikes. No one human being has the capability or ability to stop that from happen, because we are no magicians. And when that happens, will "this can wait", "maybe later" or "perhaps next time then" be too late? Think again.

If you want to tell that person you love him or her, say it, even if you are surrounded by eyes looking at you. If you want to buy that favourite food for someone who loves it and patiently waits for you back at home, do it. If you need to finish that work just so you can go home on time to accompany your family, finish it. Time waits for no one. Like I've said, we may be no magicians yet, what we can do or say can make magic to the loved ones that we care so much for.

For if we wait to do something, it might really prove to be a little too late. Live the moment and indulge in it, and not live the future with regrets. I'm a firm believer of expressing my love through actions and words, because I don't wish to take time for granted. If I am not sure if I can live the next minute, I'd better say what I would feel and wish to say for the next minute, before it's too late...

Transition Period

It's been slightly more than a week since I left my company of three years. Life has been pretty much slack. It's been really months since I last updated about my life. Everything has been pretty much mundane and it's more on work that I can talk about rather than anything else happening around me.

Me and the girl celebrated our 2nd year together. It was a long way coming around and we are more certain than before to really make our future work out. You can say we are already planning for our marriage and we have already started saving for it. It could be happening as soon as late this year, that's how FAST time flies, actually. 

Dates has been rather routinal. It's either movies or simply just slacking out butts off TV shows and foods. That's how boring Singapore is as you can see, and that's the reason why we always can't wait to get out of this small boring island. The girl would definitely be the happier one to do so but because of our marriage, this will have to wait as well. But we were at least heartened with the fact that we have a short trip to Kuala Lumpur coming up and a long one in the last quarter of this year, most likely to be Korea. (Can I see my Ji-Yeon in Korean please?? =p).

Job was postponed till 19 Mar. That gave me a huge reason to let go of things a little and go wild. And look what I did to my hair. I've always wanted to tried an ash dye on my hair, and finally, I went ahead to do it, after much consideration and hesitation. It turned out fine in fact, although the bleach apparently scares off some of my ex colleagues and friends.

It has been quite a large amount of me time. Definitely making up for the loss of that largely due to the heavy workload leading up to NATAS. I'm definitely glad it has all ended now. For sure, I'm missing the fun I had with my colleagues and it will be on my agenda to visit them soon, before I start work of course. Like I've said, I've spent more time sleeping, catching up on my shows and soccer. Now I'm so free, I feel like doing something. Something productive and add on value to myself.

I've always wanted to start something on my own. Through my own ideas. Had a few here and there every now and then, but never had the time to execute it. Perhaps, it's high time I kick start it and hopefully it leads me to somewhere somehow.

Meanwhile, at the back of my head, I'm eagerly waiting for my new job to start. I'm excited of it, at the same time, feeling that little bit of worrying deep down inside my heart. I'm not sure how this new job of mine will affect my lifestyle and life as a whole, probably due to the fact that I know I might need to work late and work overseas more often than before. But it is something I'm confident would fly my career higher and I'm certainly hoping it would. Probably, it could already be the start of everything....

Taking Granted

I'm pretty sure most of us had fallen in the trap of 'taking things or people for granted'. It's probably one of the worst thing that can ever happen to a human being, because for all we know, the consequences could prove disastrous.


I was once a victim of this trap. An incident that has nearly cost a hefty price tag. We often live in the world where love are easily obtained by those around us, from our parents, our significant other half, our friends etc. But little did we realize that it's hard maintaining a relationship/friendship/kinship and finding one.

It sometimes hit me how I could boss my mother around and she willingly does everything for me, all because she love me. It's a simple as that. My duty could too be as simple as showing her the amount of due respect and appreciating what she has done for me. Being the most important person of my entire life, I know that should I ever take her for granted, I'll definitely live with regrets. I've learnt to stow down a little and start to appreciate what she has done and in return, hoping to make her happy too.

All I'm trying to say here is, don't take someone you love for granted, be it someone as close as your mother or someone who's merely a friend. It takes two hands to clap. I've seen and personally encountered how fragile friendship can be once tested, but once a friendship can passed that, there hardly exist any boundaries at all.

Friendship takes efforts from both party. If it's just a one way traffic, it ain't going to work and at times, it's going to turn ugly. People always say sometimes, it's better to be late than never. I agree but one has to acknowledge that if you do it late, things will probably never be the same again.

Know who's staying the truest to you and give this person your all. Show your ugly self and you bound to get distance for sure....think about it..
