Mid Autumn Festival

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!  On this meaningful celebration where family gatherings are common, I feel thankful to celebrate my first Mid Autumn with my partner. I almost gave up the idea of celebrating as the traffic was heavy and usual journeys that takes 20 minutes became an unbearable 2 hour 20 minutes. Not sure when will the road and transportation system be revamped for a better quality of living. I just cannot deal with traffic congestion and I could not brain why are the locals not making suggestion for a change. If I were the one managing this area I would first generate a lot of hop on hop off buses that are very comfortable with multiple frequent trips throughout the region. Secondly I would discourage personal transportation at all tourist spots by imposing a very huge fee for a permit to use personal transportation. I would also make sure all offenders of double parking get severe punishments such as a huge penalty followed by revoke of driving license if the offence is bei

Tired and Contented

Have you ever been so busy that even sleep becomes a luxury and somehow sleep was the last thing on your mind and you just shut down when you couldn't go on anymore? It has been such a hectic 2 weeks that everything is now a blur. I forgot the days of the week and one of the day I forgot my online free Ba Zi class because I was so into editing the lyrics of Colors of the Wind to suit the video competition theme. In just two weeks I have completed a few major task and felt good about it. Sometimes desperate times brings out the talents in us and I am quite pleased with the lyrics I made which I will only disclose once the video have been sent in for the competition.  Written and viva exams is over and it was a good wake up call for me prior to the exams because I realize my knowledge is so shallow. Somehow when I was worried, 1111 kept appearing and it made me calm and reassured. After the exam I found that it was not as intimidating as I remembered perhaps because the examiners are

Mike

I could never get tired of spending time with pets particularly dogs because they just seems to tune into your frequency and show you that they care deeply. You can be having a good day or a bad day and they know exactly just what you need. I recalled the times I am happy they get bouncy and excited and the times I was sad they just sat around me and lick my face. Therefore It breaks my heart whenever I hear news of innocent dogs being mistreated by humans and I just cannot finish watching or reading such cruel news because it upsets me greatly. After the completion of a 5 days free webinar on "Ba Zi" (an ancient knowledge comprising of various calculation to determine our character, luck, destiny etc), I found that I need to learn to address my ability to control my own emotions and I tried my very best to check and neutralize my feelings on and off throughout the day. I know it is just a few days of practice but to me it is an achievement. I did not bend with pressure at wo

Fading Memories

I am not sure why but somehow my heart still ache at the thought of not being able to reconnect with a person I cared for. I kept telling myself "hey its okay to have lost a friend and it is not like it is the first time". I think back of the times in primary school where I had to say goodbye to a friend because she moved away and other than remembering the gift I gave her which comprised of 3 statues of the 3 star Gods which represents fortune, prosperity and longevity and it does bothers me that I can't remember her name. I think I must be in primary 2 or 3 when she moved away and I cannot remember a lot of memories with her but I just recalled she is nice to talk to and have a calm demeanor. I'm not sure can I still look at past year books to find her and sometimes I even asked myself did I messed my memory up and she never existed? I have been looking for her in my mind's storage for a long long time but I doubt the image of her in my mind's eye. What I ca

My Purpose Driven Life

Are you happy with where you are right now? Are you satisfied with the life that you are leading? I personally feel my life is quite okay 70% of the time but often after going home visiting my loved ones, I feel dissatisfied with my current life. I felt 70% satisfied because I am living the life I wanted a few years back. Since my ability to make conscious decisions at the age of 13, things have been going according to my plans. Despite a few hiccups such as odd intake dates and a plandemic causing some delay in my career progression, things always fall into place. Even if I did struggle a lot especially for exams (because I just hate exams to the core and I don’t think anyone loves exams), somehow there’s always divine intervention aiding me to sail through. Perhaps because I am doing my purpose in life so naturally things will work out for me. However I still wish to alter some parts of my life and I think if I am able to do these alterations, my life would be more meaningful. I am r

Cancer

Cancer is Latin for crab and it is the symbol of my horoscope. I used to feel rather annoyed why must my horoscope be associated with the dreaded illness called “cancer”. However it is the other way round, malignant tumours are given a general name “cancer” because the tumour looks like a crab having a body and its projections coming out like claws. The Cancer’s glyph is “69” usually drawn in horizontal and have many interpretations. To name a few it represents the claws, it is the sun and earth connected by 2 crescent moon, it represents Yin and Yang and some say it’s like the mother’s breast symbolising the nurturing characteristics of Cancer. No doubt I like the glyph a lot since it’s easy to replicate and I just fancy it compare to other horoscopes as it has 2 circles in it. I find circles to be fascinating since it isn’t pointy and it has no beginning or ending and often a round table gives off a comfortable feeling compared to tables of other shapes.  I begin to appreciate the sy

Sudden Misses

I still hear the echoes of your voice in my mind Can't we just pretend and talk like old times?  Yesterdays are long gone and can never rewind Could the ache of missing someone lasts a lifetime? How do I swiftly learn the art of walking away? Eyes are the windows to the soul they say  Mine get misty reflecting the moments we shared I tried surpressing only to find I still care Somehow you left an abundance of memories behind  Ties that were severed still tantalize my mind  I  Miss  You <3
