When you say you feel disappointed, have you ever thought why is that so? Is that because you have done your best and have worked hard for it? Or is it because it's not your ideal result?
Many people like to use this word disappointment as and when they like. However, many do not understand the actual meaning of this word. This is another description, a feeling. It is a result of something which we have done, leading to such an 'error'. But because of pride and integrity, we always do not admit that we have not committed ourselves and have not performed our best. Disappointment is just an excuse.
Is there anything wrong with admitting your faults? Where is the simple honestly in life? This is the basics of living life to its fullest...

Oh my Oh my!
Letting nature takes its course.. haha...
When problems get settled, I somehow feel uneasy too. Cos' it was too good to be true. Haha... you know, when it always does not go smoothly for you, but suddenly it does, you really cannot believe it. Haha...
I mentioned in my last post that we will be renting out my bedok apt. Well, we still will, but not so soon cos' my uncle rented out his flat to his friend for 3-4 mths till renovation is completed. And within these few mths, he will give my mum the rental money he collected from his friend. So we can still play with time, find an appropriate tenant etc. Good good!!! At least not so rush! Phew...
Next is my mum's citizenship. She finally got it! Thank goodness! With all the GST credits, this is a good opportunity.
Then my problem with my friend. We finally straighten things out. So it's back to normal.. i hope.. pray he will not do anything funny...
Workwise, i've settled my medical checkup alr. See if it goes through smoothly anot. Hopefully it does!
Haii... feel so relieved now...
What do you do when you have problems? Think of a solution? Ponder over it? Go destress? I know all the while that the situation won't change even if you keep thinking about it. Action need to be taken to resolve the various issues. But at times, you get so suffocated that you just need to destress. I think talking to friends helps for me. Even though there will be no solution, but at least I feel better.
So my friends, I want to tell you all that I am so proud to have you guys as my friends. If anybody ask me in this life what am I most proud of, it will definitely be my friends. Not all of course, selective. But I am.

It still happened...
Something which I was trying to avoid since last year... it still happened...
My mum, granny n a sister is going to shift to my Uncle's residence to stay, whereas I will cohabit with my 2 younger sister at my current flat, and rent out 2 rooms. It's finalized. And it's happening in... about within 1-2 months? How fast yeah?
Seriously, it might be a blessing in disguise. I don't know. But I know that my mum cannot afford to fork out money to fund the monthly house loan any longer, and I am getting very tired of her grumbling about money all day long. So if we rent out 2 rooms, and with me topping the money, she can get rid of the house burden. But it will be heavier on me though. I have to bear all the water and electricity bills, etc etc. Of course, it will be spilt among landlord and tenants. But how would I put it.. it's totally different cohabiting with your family and strangers whom you don't know. If it's your friends, that's still not too bad, but strangers... living with them. It's a brand new experience.
Have you ever thought of moving out of your parents' apartment and rent a room by yourself or bulk with your friend etc? Actually this issue is very common in other countries like M'sia and Taiwan, especially when the country is so big with so many states. But I guess in Singapore, it's so small that we take it for granted that we should reside with our parents until we get married. Or until we have the ability to buy our own apartment. I guess I am going to experience that now, another step taken at a age much faster than others. I'm always quicker in these ways... not positively. What the heck!!! Haha...
I need to relieve stress... I've been thinking about this till I can't sleep last night.. only slept for 2 hours. Damn tired.. but yet, I can't go back to sleep now. Gosh!

For one more day, what will you do?
If I have one more day, I will blog about all my personal thoughts, write to various people, and watch all the shows I like. I will also treat my family and friends to dinner. And make them feel on top of the world. And when I'm gone, I want them to realise that it's not a loss as my writings will accompany them throughout the rest of their life. They can pass it on to others, making me 'alive' at all times.
I have just completed reading Mitch
Albom's latest novel- For One More Day.
The story narrates about a middle-aged man who wants to commit suicide as his life is messed up. His wife have divorced him, his daughter have married without sending him an invitation. His dream dashed. His parents dead. His job sucks. So he
attempted suicide. But... instead of passing on, he met his mom who died 8 years ago. And with his mum, he spent a day meeting various important people whom taught him how much he must cherish life, and his mother.
My favourite phrase in the book: A child who understands his/her mother is a child then completely grown up.
Understand?
Sometimes I just feel like flying away to an island for a holiday. To a place where it's peaceful and quiet. Let my mind rest. Let my brain think.
Most of my friends who go sing ktv with me will know that I am a big fan of SHE. Who are they?
SHE: Selina, Hebe & Ella
They are a Taiwanese trio girl band. Founded 6 years ago, they have already released 10 albums. They have also stepped ahead to experience hosting, acting, writing, composing etc. What they have experienced in these 6 years, I believe not many others can imagine. Of course, the reason being is because if you're not a celebrity or if you're not given the chance, the dream of realising the mentioned above is very small. But ultimately, what I want to say is the courage and motivation these 3 girls have given me, and many others. They have made me realised that with determination, hard work and perseverance, one will succeed. We must also cherish whatever opportunity that comes before us. Be it just playing a minimal role, it is also very important as success comes from a team, a group of people, and not just one person. Take for example, if you're penning a novel and is a hit among the masses, who else should you be grateful towards? The publisher, editor, your readers. If without these people, will you be able to relate your story to the public? The answer is no. The same goes for a newspaper article. You may think that you have worked hard enough to have earned yourself credit on the papers. But think about it, it's teamwork again. If without the reporter's recommendation, will you appear in the news? So it's all related. Everything, everybody, it's all connected.
We always tend to forget about the people around us. When we get too comfortable with each other, we will forget our roots and take each other for granted. I believe at a certain point in life and in a friendship/ relationship, we all do. Sometimes we just need to take a little break, sit back, take a deep breathe, and reflect on what have been happening. Then we will gain back the synergy and spirit that was instilled upon us. But sometimes, people simply just chose to ignore. They opt to think that they are better off without help from others. Everyone needs help. So when there is, gracefully accept it and be thankful.
I believe SHE have done so. They accept each task and challenge magnanimously and with an open-heart, they work towards it. They cherish, they care, they strive. Even when there are setbacks, they stand up, learn from their mistake and move forward. This is what makes them so successful. Because of their optimistic and courage, they succeeded. So I take them as my role models.
Who is your role model? Do you have one? If you don't, go find one. Everyone needs a role model so that they can work towards a goal and achieve a standard they have set for themselves.

It's Friday the 11th!!!
Ok, it's the 12th alr i know, but let's assume it's still Friday night yeah?
Anyway, here's a very short note to thank one of my buddy.... Mr. Tan HZ... (you know who you are!) Here goes... *drum rolls*:
Thanks for buying me the latest SHE's album! Really shocked to receive it, but yet felt appreciated and overjoyed with your enthusiasm and effort taken in choosing and buying for me a really early b'day gift.. haha! For a moment I thought you wanted to pass me food! Haha... cos' what else can you pass me!? So when I saw what it was, I was really shocked... pardon me for my astonished look... must be horrifying! Geez... Seriously, you could have kept it for youself, but your generousity touched me... am indeed very grateful and fortunate to have you as a friend...
Hereby, I wish you all the best in whatever you do, and may the girl of your dreams appear soon... you deserve someone like an angel! (No kidding! And to tell you the truth, you always remind me of Hei Ren from Taiwan, so hope you can find your Fan Wei Qi soon!)
I would also like to take this opportunity to let you know that I'll always be around whenever you need a listening ear, or simply just company. It doesn't matter what it is about, just know that I'm just a phone call away. Always available for a friend like you....
THANK YOU!
