Eventful 2010 :)

A year in which my "myopia" improved, and i learnt to see things & people clearer, in a different perspective ;)

I've learnt to wear an "armour" to protect myself, for this is a dog-eat-dog world.

I've learnt to always fight for what i want, for i've only one life, and i should not let myself down. You never try, you never know ;)

I've learnt to forgo things at times to achieve other things, despite being very reluctant to do so.

I've learnt that life is not a bed of roses (in fact, i don't like flowers :P), and only hard work (plus luck, of course!) brings success!

I've learnt that a plane will not reach its destination if the pilot & co-pilot have different targets.

I've learnt that money is not everything, but without money, one can't do anything.

I've learnt that dreams will always remain as dreams, if one doesn't do something to realise/ materialise it.

I've learnt that i'm a person with strong principles, and sometimes too stubborn, and my OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is getting worse :P

Goodbye 2010! I've lotsa sweet memories in you :) Been travelling a lot this year :)

Disappointments exist to push the heart stronger, and also be stepping stones for higher achievements.

May all i learnt in 2010 be good lessons, and all my fond memories be kept eternally in my memory to be recollected in decades to come ;)

Happy new year!

Of Strong Women...

I've always admired & looked up to strong women in my life, be it in real life or in fiction (drama/ movies/ novel). I guess deep inside me, i yearn to be one :)

I love women who have strong determination, and always know what they want in life, and have clear targets & goals.

I feel fortunate to meet a few of them throughout my life journey, and they have been the ones who've inspired me in many aspects.

They've showed me that although being the "weaker sex" (this is an undeniable fact!), women can do so many other things, and sometimes be no lousier than men. It's through these career women whom i see the perseverance & real ability of females, especially in working mothers (i really salute them).

There's no doubt life is about making decisions & sacrificing oneself, and sometimes standing at the crossroads, hesitating which path to choose. Man proposes, God disposes.

But if one doesn't have a draft (if not a blueprint/ a plan) for his or her life, he or she will be like a floating leaf in the sea, leaving fate to the waves, going wherever the waves bring it to.

I'm glad that i've plans for my future :) However, there are times when i've to forgo some things due to circumstances. Hence, one must always be quick to come up with a Plan B rather than leaving everything to fate, just like prisoners on the death row.

To women i look up to, i thank you for inspiring me (knowingly/ unknowingly), for being role models in my life :)

I hope to be like you people in future. Maybe, hopefully, better be! :D

Sis's dolls

I've never liked dolls & stuffed toys before, not even when i was a little girl.

My sister loves them a lot! And she has lotsa them on her bed, whereas my bed has only a pillow, bolster & blanket, that's all.

This morning, we brought all her dolls out for a sunbath. And after that, i brought out a big black "garbage" plastic bag, and told her they are gonna go, as they've been taking so much space on her bed; there's hardly any space for her to stretch her legs. She understood, nodded lightly, and looked at me putting her dolls & stuffed toys one by one into the bag with her cute puppy eyes. She managed to "save" 3 of them to remain as her loyal companions.

Great! No more "flying toys" having a getaway on my bed from her cramped bed in the middle of the night :P

How i wish i could cuddle my cute lil' sis to sleep like i used to do when we were younger. She's no doubt still very cute now, but a lot more cheekier! :D

I LOVE YOU, babe!

Here's wishing you "Happy Birthday" in advanced!

Will miss you hell a lot when you've flown across half the globe... (yeah i know it's in many more month's time, but still...)
