Update. Whoop whoop!

Oh man all that i have just typed had just been deleted. Attempt to blog round 2.

I have been neglecting this space for so long and all i can say is that life has been pretty great (but not so great 5 secs ago when my long post just got deleted) hahaha. Other than that, i have been pretty busy with school and there have been a lot of things going on for the past few months. This month, May has exceptionally been hectic with so many people's birthday parties, al's, wee wee and wen's 21st bday, USS with the juice kiddos, Othello, sleepovers at sammy's and shera's place and so many moreee.

Its so scary how time flies so quickly and now its already halfway through the year. Today, i was talking to the taxi uncle who picked me up from holland village's daily scoop. Somehow, i love talking to taxi uncles because they are usually of quite an old age and they always tell me about their lives; their family,their past, their mood and it always makes me feel that the money that i pay for the cab is so much more worth it. (in-cab counseling session) hahaha. So, he told me that he is 56, retired, had 3 As for his A levels and has a daughter of age 25 who is currently working at St Regis hotel at the front desk. He said that she doesn't like the job because it can be really tiring to work through the night shift but he forced her to work there for at least two years. Also, he told me that he got married at the age of 24 and that it was cheap at his time to have a wedding (he only spent 5k in total). I asked him where he met his wife because i always find it very amazing how people find each other. He said that she was his friend's sister and he 'borrowed' her for the commissioner ball after army because he didn't have a girlfriend and now, he has spent his whole life with her from then. Its truly amazing how people just 'accidentally' fall in love. :') After that, i asked him if he felt that life was passing so quickly because he told me about himself when he was at his peak-- accomplishments of his job that he used to work at. He said 'nope, i'm happy with my life and i enjoyed every bit of it. It was a fulfilling journey.' I hope that when i am at his age, i would also be able to say that. Upon reaching my destination, he wished me the best in life and i thanked him.

For the past few days, i have been thinking about it and I'm just really fortunate to have such great people around me. My friends always ask me why am i always so happy and that is because i truly do feel that way. How could i not be when i have such great people around me looking out for me and caring for me? And i guess when people say that 'the key to happiness is to let things go' in a sense, i agree with that because there is not much of a point to keep remembering something bad right? Only if you choose to focus on the people who can make you happy then, you'll feel happy too.

All the little things.

Just another one of those days where i feel very appreciative/fortunate of what i have right now regardless of it being the people that i have around me or in terms of material possessions. Today, we had a history talk in school on historical monuments looking at various buildings and structures which were so beautifully made. The speaker showed us pictures of historical buildings which to me at first just looked like a 'pretty building' with the europeans architects designing it making it look grand and prestigious. However only after she told us in detail as to how the buildings were made, why was it needed to be placed at a certain angle, why it was needed to be built with that particular structure and what was the purpose of the building, only then, i started to realize that all these beautiful buildings needed so much thought, so much effort to be created and that the little details are the ones that makes the building stand out. This then reminded me of how important it is to always try to remember and appreciate all the little things in life because the little things are the ones that makes it beautiful; makes life beautiful.  

 Also, today i came home with a package sitting on my bed which made me really excited because i love receiving mails/packages. Dearest fel sent me a macbook cover set in pink from the states because she remembered that i love pink and that i wanted to get a cover for my mac. Thank you fel.

With the comfort of your presence.

At some point of our lives, we may feel lost, empty and lonely but today, I felt the immense sense of uncertainty which escalated from the fear of oblivion and the unpleasant experiences from the past. I had the need to talk to my dad who was somebody that I love dearly and have been neglecting recently. The comfort of his presence, his voice, his actions made all my worries and fears dissipated knowing that through it all he has been there next to me fighting all the battles along with me and that he will always be there for me when I need him. He understood that I did not give my best for my recent exams as I felt lost. Lost my sense of direction in making the right choices in life. He told me to take my time to sort out my thoughts and just go and have fun so that I'll be able to get my thoughts/focus back into place again. Still remember the last time i was so angry with the rude dental assistant and you stood up for me telling me that because i was your daughter, you have to protect me. Those were really touching words and i'll never forget the way you said it with your serious face and the tone of your voice. -so firm, so calm and so serious. Thank you for being such an amazing and understanding father. I love you pa. You're the best pa that anyone can have. :)
