back on track
Monday, October 25, 2010
Looking through my past blog post. I've been always try to stay positive through the adversities that i come across. Hopefully working at TP would remind me how full of drive i was in POLY days. And spur me to full power mode, which i think i am on track now cuz im sooo f*ing tired... ...
My family tells me that because i have nothing to worry about as in money, food, a roof over my head and thats why i give my attention to unnecessary stuff. I guess what we want from the previous generation is totally different. They just want a family, financial security, and safety. We want alot of money, safety we take for granted already, we want to find ourselves (eat pray love context), good career, caring other half, social statuses, job satisfaction and the list goes on.
They tell me, wait till you have nothing to eat then you will stop worrying about those silly stuff like love. LOL.

I'll be the one who brings you coffee when you can't get up
I'll be the one who turns the light out when you go to sleep
I'll be the one who turns your stomach into something else and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say

back to routine
Friday, October 22, 2010
So i have gone into a routine lifestyle whereby i wake up at 7 plus, get to work by 830, knock off at 6pm and then after work activities such as classes, runs or swims. Just like army actually. I feel that life IS afterall a routine or rather you follow a certain pattern after some time. AND THE WORST PART is they indented SAF meal boxes for takeaway. -_- OMG. yet another reminder for reservice. stop haunting me SAF!!
And one of those routine day after work, went to safra to swim with shaun. Have been trying to incorporate exercise into my life and since the TP gym is rather intimidating with those dragon boaters. hahaha i choose the pool!!
And WTH. Shaun decided to try out this ice cream parlour after the swim. A scoop of ice cream is around 200-300 calories depending on the fat content which equated to the calories i burnt in the pool. -_- So i might as well not swim at all.....Still, the ice cream itself is not bad considering its at a un-atas neighbourhood. Its called Blic. DONT order the alcohol range cus its bloody expensive. $5.80 for a scoop!!! -_-
and yes, im the victim cuz i chose my fav baileysDon't get so worked up~ Its just me

Self help?
Sunday, October 17, 2010
Friday night, while waiting for gek and yang heng, i went to kinokuniya to browse books and look at magazines. I stopped to pick up a book titled "making decisions". Then somehow the books placed next to it were, "When everything changes, change everything" ; " In a time of turmoil, a pathway to peace" ; " the happiness equation" ; " lonely?" ; and " still procrastinating?"
Other than all these above, there were all beauty books teaching how to makeup, style and such. Then i thought shit! did i walked to the self help section again? Lucky man... its the best seller section. Why are the best sellers self help books? Or rather why do self help books sell? Is it because they give us an idea that the answer we are looking for, the help we so desperately wanted is in that 500 odd pages? Come on~! i think sometimes, we already know the answer. Its just a matter of acceptance. We are all looking for an outlet to accept the fact.

Time
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Yes, time. Our only true asset. And the only fair thing in the world. Everyone has 24 hours of it where we can choose whether to exchange it for money, beauty, better health, relationships etc. Its said that life is never fair but i think its fair in a way we are all timed in this life on earth. And that reaffirm that what Oprah Winfrey said is damn true. We can have everything but not all at the same time. But well, focus on the first part of we CAN have EVERYTHING. Everything you define as success in life. Be haste to learn but never set a time constrain because you are not setting timely goals this way. You are actually limiting yourself. Who says you can only own a flat when you are 30 or when you get married? All you need is discipline over the time you have. Yes, and stop facebooking so much. Im guilty. :/

Ancient wisdom?
Saturday, October 9, 2010
The Bhagavad Gita- that ancient yoda text- says that it is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of someone else's life with perfection. So now i have started living my own life. Imperfection and clumsy as it may look, it is resembling me now, thoroughly".-Elizabeth Gilbert
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
-Elizabeth Gilbert

God told me
Monday, October 4, 2010
Someone told me that this blog i write keeps her pondering after reading; be it about love , life or small issues. She said, if only you can read your own blog. Its not that what i write is not part of me, but what i write in this kind of entries are solely the works of my brain. It may be a part of me whom has already mastered the control of my emotions. Maybe this blog portrays the kind of person i will become in time to come when i mature.
So, as i was saying, in one way or another, God has been popping his head into my life every now and then to check if im ok. These days, he seem to be making his appearances subtly and Yes God, i know you are watching me, thank you very much.
There was quite a few incidents but i will share with you the latest one. This time he convey through the bible i just flipped open this morning out of frustration.

ECCLESIASTES 2:7
A time for everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
better a poor but wise youth than an old foolish king who no longers knows how to take warnings. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king's successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind

Help to chauffeur Gek's cousin's wedding today. It was a simple affair, nothing compared to those big hoo haa weddings i attended in the past. But still, it was the best thing i feel that can happen in life. A wedding is still a positive occasion no matter what the reason might be. Its a new phase of life, a beginning of a new chapter, starting your life all over again but this time with a person beside you where ever you may be. You know when they sing the song, i've never lived without you; i guessed its that meaning? :)
Having said that, only a handful of us i would quite say would stick to the promises they make when they put on the rings for each other. I mean, there must be a reason why 50% of the marriages in USA end up in divorces. Intolerable living habits? Cannot work out the difference? Or simply it wasn't the same as before?
So i asked my elder uncle why he got married and he said at first it was love, then it was responsibilty and then commitment; in between there were moments of love(not romance). I mean, is it necessary for us to socially announce that we are off the shelf? So that there would be lesser disturbances? Or are humans really that weak in terms of resisting temptations that we need papers to remind us of our love? Or like what amy said, we can be forgettful at times and we need to be reminded.
Love is intangible and unmeasurable. Just like knowledge, as long as we learn something everyday, does it matter which school we go to or whether or not we get papers out of it? Sometimes i feel its just a 'social' thing. You can be married without signing papers and you still can be dumb with a degree. Only you know it.

Is the big P enough?
Friday, October 1, 2010
Im so busy these days that i only have work and sometimes social life. There is little of 'ME' time left. So tonight, although it was a friday night, i chose to spend it with me. Went to cut hair, took a long bus ride, jogged, play abit of piano. Just some quality time with myself. :)
I have been working at TP for 3 weeks now. And as usual, i will start thinking and questions will surface for me to ponder about.
I have a friend who is interested in becoming a chef as a career and i am getting him an audience with the lecturers. Now as i work with these chefs, i understand the stress a chef face. The challenges of creativity, speed, people skills, looking and even smelling like a chef. Its not as simple as just memorising notes. My friend is very passionate but somehow the way i gave my testimonial of him did not interest the 2 chefs. According to their experience, they can even smell whether you have the makings of a good chef. I'm not bragging or anything but one of the chefs said i have the makings of a creative chef. But i no longer have that strong of a passion for culinary stuff. And compared to a passionate person without the character for this occupation, i can fare better anytime. Rather, i like music but even without my teachers saying, i know im not cut out for it.
Today i transplanted some basil germinations. According to my superior, i will know if i have the green thumb in a few days time. If the basils fail to grow, i can never touch the plants in the herbs garden again. I find that quite ridiculous. Should we even let others limit our own capabilities? Is it true that for some paths you take in life, you already know how far it will bring you and how long you can persist? Will i really kill the plants if i insist on gardening even if i dont have the green thumb?
Alot of people have passion for this and that. Take singing for example, how much tears you seen on Singapore idol when people are told they are not good enough even though they have so much passion. And some doctors who are just GPs for the rest of their career and never specialise in anything. In such a competitive environment, will the passion of christ even suffice? Or Should we take the easy way out?
