I’m tired, and possibly, very jaded.

Oh well, I seem to take it all in good stride, I HOPE I DO LEARN MORE at the end of all the shizz.

Housing Loan + PUB + Miscellaneous stuffs is no joke! Can’t believe I’m only 26, not married, and taking care of so many things as well as pple under me at work!

I REALLY need a holiday overseas. Hope to go Taiwan or revisit JAPAN. I REALLY NEEEEEEEEEEED to get out of here!!!!

A BEACH HOLIDAY? OR WHAT……

Mr J answer me…. hahahaha… Oh well. :(

Approaching 10pm and yet I still prefer to bury myself in office…. Simply no mood/energy to do more already. I’m heading out.

What a sad piece of fuck.

Ok I will get over this.

Well, we will never actually get used to them, yeah?

BUT! This post is nothing like the mellow post. I’m feeling good, up and greatly inspired. As Mr J. put it, I will gradually feel better one lah. Haha!

Anyway, seriously, I haven’t been updating/uploading anything worthed reading. But 4 mths ago (wow, that’s a pretty long time), I was tasked to create some concepts for a freelance client, speaking to doctors, introducing a new ailment… only had a few hrs to present the mocks. I still pretty much like the ideas that came to my mind when I was with my notepad on the bus home.

Sidetracking, Kayly you inspired AND reminded me that treads are meant to be created. Besides all our plans, I’m really looking forward to marketing tradeshows overseas with you!

There’re so much I want to learn….. I want to constantly challenge my mind. But I have to do them one by one. I was hot-headed and want to achieve this and that in the shortest time. What I’ve learnt is that there is barely anything to gain but painful lessons. I’m now more level-headed, and knowing that having a plan will enable me to progress in a direction I most desire. In the past month I met people who inspired me so much, noteably Terrence Tan of you-know-where. His words were deeply imprinted in my mind and it was funny how I was doing the things he was doing when he was a young chap (he still looks amazingly young). I do regret not asking more though. I was just at a loss of what to ask!

All things in life has its time. Antz once told me, “There is no need to rush babe.”

Just wanna note this date down.

Behind the wheels whilst following the car in front out of Malaysia. It was really an emotional ride. I won’t forget how tears dwelled up in my eyes.

孩子，我就陪你走到这。

My first ride across the causeway on my own.

Oh well. What was it like, being a kid?

Carefree…….~ I miss running in the rain on the way home from school. My mum was yelling at me to get back under her umbrella. But I simply just…. want to enjoy the rain.

I was 7.

I failed my spelling test once more. 2/10. Didn’t study again. And when I failed, I approached my dad to sign my spelling book for he wouldn’t know I had failed.

My dad was 37. I was 8.

I miss.

….to everyone reading!!! Our office has declared one week’s break next week - paid leave! Lucky us. I wanna make the most out of it! I look forward to visit my grandmother back in Malaysia. I only see her once a year and when I was younger, I got so bored of being there that after Chu Yi I took a cab back to SG myself! How I must have broken my grandma’s heart. She told me is okay and that I must be so bored being there but I knew, I knew she wished I could have stayed longer.

Now I see things very differently. Yes all my friends may be in SG and it may seem like the best chance to gather but how many years do the eldery have? How many more chances do I get to see her and spend CNY with her? How many more years can she stay healthy and cook for me? I was told that my granny has began to show some symptoms of being senile… Now I just want to treasure this opportunity to be with her more. I only see her once a year. I want to go back more often now. This time, I am going to pack a fatter red packet along… :) It’s not about the money, but the thought that I want her to at least have some cash for rainy days…

That aside, let’s welcome Ling back to blogging! Pioneer bloggers may recall her from Notquite.org. She’s back to write some more but as I observed, we’ve aged. Yes indeed. The way we pen now sounds so different from yesteryears. Good old memories.. :)

Hmmm.. this is totally random but I realised my blog has been just all words!! Haha.. maybe I’m just too lazy to carry a camera out and record my life. Everyday, the love for my family gets stronger. Does this come with age? I guess everyday positive influence from friends who taught me to seek a balance counts too. Plus, you normally don’t realise the magnitude of your love until shit happens. Also, the love for my job. I’m glad it’s in place and the good fortune to have conversed, learnt and shared with people who matter. I’m indebtedly grateful for their existence.

Once again, happy lunar new year to everyone reading.. I sincerely wish all of you a coming year of abundance, prosperity & good health. No matter how bleak the financial year is, pls remain optimistic and let’s all work hard (and smart)!

I picked Valerie up from Lavender MRT & with her suggestion on “somewhere near my place”, proceeded to drive to Singapore Post to chill for the evening… I turned into the open carpark and spotting a lot, was only too happy to reverse my car in.

Me (looking at the side mirror): EH?? I can’t see behind!! Why is it suddenly soo FOGGY???
Valerie: Wth this is like Sing Post! Why is their car park so dark? No lights one???
Me: I mean it is very smokey!!!! What happened?? There was like a sudden GULF OF SMOKE enveloping my car.
Valerie: THERE IS A FIRE.
Me: No, there isn’t. This is like Sing Post
Valerie: NO I CAN SMELL IT
Me (proceeded to reverse my car into the lot when the vision got slightly better): HUh? Fire? No loh

We then got off the car happily (maybe only me, for I found a lot -_-!), while Valerie was more interested in where the crowd was going. We turned our heads around and then, watched in mock horror.

“SOMEONE CALL THE CIVIL DEFENCE!”

“YEA YEA”

We watched, from a small fire, to two explosions, to one that proceeds to swallow the entire shop. Fire engines arrived, firemen screamed at the crowd to back off in case there were more explosions to follow. We could feel the heat, the surrounding trees caught fire, in the midst of the surrounding siren, we could hear the shop’s fire alarm straining to give all it could in its last breath. I stood and felt completely helpless while trying to imagine the plight of the shop owner…

tho i’m still a good 6 mths away, we all know how time flies.

it just dawn on me that i’m turning 27 this year. what a scary figure. 27, not 25, not 26, but 3 yrs away from the big 30. some pple are already getting married, how do they do it i don’t know. it seems like such a distant thing for me. somehow i still have this lingering feel that i had only turned 22.

what have i achieved in life so far? i don’t want to live another 5 yrs, look back at my life and start questioning myself the same question.

i’m scared, hopeful, anticipating, optimistic, determined, all rolled into one.

At the end of this year I want to see myself

1) Getting more in depth with advertising and propose creative solutions with relevance to clients’ businesses. I’m already doing it but I want to be even better in what I do.
2) Earning more money without losing my soul. Money can come from anywhere really…
3) Becoming full pledge adult by rationing my income to pay for utilities bills, insurance, savings, now that my job is more or less stabilised… I have to do more for myself and want to do more for my family.
4) Having done what I have to do to be a step closer to the bigger picture
5) Having spent more quality time with family
6) Having learnt more abt business from my father. The mistakes, the struggles, the heydays, everything.
7) Being a better thinker and putting thoughts into actions
8) Last but not least - having learnt to slow down at times to really appreciate Life itself

2009 is a predictable bleak year for businesses (or is it really? seriously i think it all boils down to making your own opportunities) but whether it is a good or bad year, I’m going to write my own story.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can’t believe today’s the last day of 2008!! Many things have happened this past yr and I’m very glad that I’ve grown heaps and leaps in what I love to do (or work), I look forward to greater growth in 2009!!

I want and I need to breakthrough! I need to make a list of goals I want to achieve professionally so that it’s a step closer to the bigger picture each yr…. hmmm… Haven’t gotten the time/energy to make this list. Well, the holidays for the next few days will be the perfect chance.

I also want to be able to be of help to my dad. It’s time to grow up and learn the ropes. I want to inject some synergy in his trade, in whatever ways I can. The baton has to pass down to the youngesters someday for change, for continuality, for growth, etc. I wonder how….

The route will definitely not be easy, and it will be filled with ups and downs, tears, sweat and blood, but I guess looking back at what I been through, I realise it is just to train your strength and character up and to always be really positive.

I want to earn more money without losing my soul. Balance and have pride in what I do is key.

And to establish a firmer, stronger r/s with Mr J. Yeah!

I don’t wanna think of the impending economic recession in 2009. It’s already here but the worst has yet to hit home. Soon though. Many companies are retrenching to tide through 2009. Hopefully with wisdom, action, prayers, determination and perserverance we will get through it. This prolonged recession must be fought and we must win!

I’m talking like some OLD OLD lady, but truth is, it’s time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR (SOON) EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!!
