A**H***

....

all those in the inner circle wld know..

haha.. so are u in the inner circle??

Anyhow..

YIPPEE!!!
its a fri once again.. was just browsin thru my calender and wondering when my next break can be.. I never usu have such long stretches of intense work..without a flight somewhere..
was itching to take a plane somewhere in July or maybe i'd go fishing in Mersing again one of this comin month's weekend..

Cambodia, Myanmmar, Hongkong or all of this and no UK..
argghh.. need to focus..

THE RUN

Running's enjoyable.

The mind typically multi tasks very well
and yet.. whilst running, its also able to empty out very well.
I was tired and attempted to think of things to distract myself of the fatigue.
Allowed bits of the AH history to come in BUT i strangely couldn't focus on the thought.
haha.. (yes im a bit warped)

Guess its really proven that endorphins are produced during exercise and this works very well when one is unhappy.

Anyhow, point noted.. my brainy brain confrimed that i've fully recovered from the Long term AHlic disease to be me, myself once again!

Im happy..

and I lurrrve running!!!

THanks Puss for the company~

project mum

just a while ago..
life was simple..
wake up before sunset for bfast mum's prepared,
get driven to school by pampering parents
get picked up from school by loving mum,
who also drives me to tuition
and efficiently appears again 2 hours later to drive me home.
I arrive home and dinner would magically be prepared..
I do some homework, watch some tv whilst having the sumptous dinner.
(Dinner menu always differs from my lunch in the car...)
and then mum nags and makes sure my homework's completed before I go to bed.
The next day starts at 630 and the daily cycle continues..

Only when I look back, am I reminded that I've got a super mum.
And realise that nagging is ok.. perfection's impossible especially when I've got the best mum I could ever have.. I should allow her to nag ever so often..

I think I should put in some effort to treat her like Queen more often.. haven't been the best daughter around..

Mum gave me a worry-free, chores free time when I was growing up.. I think I should contribute a little more to put on more smiles on her coz she's my super mum.

PROJECT MUM commences..

bz monday!

Been awhile since Monday's have been so busy..
4 meetings multiple phone calls and emails and documentation..
good to be busy every now and then..
but how did i find the energy to blade another 10+ km till almost midnite..

Ha.. the power of the human mind..

Anyhow.. I was reminded on Sunday about what I've been doing .. a wake up call in some areas of my life.. guess.. it isnt too bad.. wake up calls are good.

Angkor wat


I wanna go there! Angkor wat - Cambodia

a walk on the streets~

what would i do if i saw u on the street.
how would i react
would i turn and walk away,
or would i walk nonchalently and just ignore
would i stop to talk
and pretend everything's ok
or would i prevent conversation
and said I was busy
we built relations only to let them go.
because it makes us angry, hurt and just very sad.
thats life isnt it.

im thankful..

my followers.. did i miss out anyone?..

I recall telling only selected people about my blog..
lets see, lets go by initials..

s, d, g, s, g, j, k, a, e, j, w, g and maybe one more.. g & y found out by accident..

thats all of 14 people..

unless i forgot anyone else..

well.. i realised that i've been maintaining this for the last 4 years ( or is it 5?).. started when i was down , maintained thru the good times, and continued more during sad times.. and now I'm up again..

I'm very thankful for those who have seen me thru my worst .. and its thru some absolutely lovely friendships that i've managed to ride thru the stormiest days.. people who have touched me with their warmth and concern, talked or messaged me every single day during my worst days. supported me thru thick and thin..

ha.. sometimes i take it for granted.. yesterday i talked about how friendship's really simple and

today after the dinner and drinks with one of the best gangs i've ever had.. i realise that 'simple' is an easy way to describe something that means alot, makes u really happy, builts u up, gives u great companionship and leaves u realising that no one's gonna back stab u and look at u any differently..

its simple, u just have to be yourself, everyone else as natural as they always are and u know u've got a great bunch of people called friends.. there's nothin else to describe the chemistry in this group.

i dont know why.. the dinner wasnt for me.. it was for ma and PUSS (sorry gx, made a mistake) but.. im just really happy i've got all of u i call friends.. they aint heavy.. they mi flens! =)

Friendship

Friendship

A simple word yet this relationship often curtails a wide array of perspectives, feelings, depth. Often, I prefer looking at it simply. It’s something that goes a long way when its well cultivated, it’s a relationship that lasts sometimes even longer than marriages. I like to know that people understand me. I usually attempt to understand people through behavior, tune myself to a comfortable level and read them so that I’m able to tailor my actions to suit their preferences. Often..

Yet there are times when we get to a level deeper and fall into the comfort zone that can be occasionally dangerous. We say things we shouldn’t and assume what we know or ignorantly speak our minds without being concerned about the feelings of the friend. We end up hurting. Often unknowingly.

But why can it be so complicated. When it seems so simple..
Often, my temper is kept in check. I read expressions, behavior and when temperature rises I tend to take a step back to ease the tension. Rarely would I get offended, or enter into a state of anger. Today, I allowed my emotions to get the better of me. If I could get angry easily I’d deem a large part of it a fault of mine.

Today, I tuned myself to ignore expressions that irritated me, I repeatedly told myself to calm down and ‘de-sensitize’. I made it clear not just once that there wouldn’t be a problem if the trip could not go on. I found a need to repeat that because on various occasions I was being told that I was forceful and did not allow people to have a choice and ‘it’s always about what I wanted’. Even with these clarifications today it was no use. People still look upon me as selfish, ungrateful and think I make use of them..

Am I all of that?
……
Females tend to make it complicated thinking that their feelings matter more. Perhaps this ‘weaker’ sex tend to get a little mixed up with feelings vs objectivity and screw their minds up a little too much for their own good. Well.. just a little bad to come with the good coz females are the more ‘feely’ of the 2.
I’ve only got into arguments with 2 or 3 gfs . Often we shrug it off and give way but sometimes when expectations rise up too much for me to handle. I blast. Yes like today.
….
I think friendship is simple but simple as it is and feely as it is, I do think I hold objectivity in high perspectives.

Today I may’ve lost a friend..
.. but I believe I’ve given my best.

Friendship’s supposed to built people up not tear them apart.

whooppee wednesday!

Took time off for another run this week..

The beach effect's great.. just as I walked past the buildings to get the sea view.. there was a big expanse of space right before me and my spirits were lifted in an instant.

I've usually had my evening runs around my estate but this time round... it was different..
enjoyed the cool sea breeze, happily 'people watching', I spotted
ah peks sitting around chatting, couples taking evening walks hand in hand, students bbq-ing, mums bringing their toddlers out to build sandcastles, parents pushing their babies in prams while they brisk walked..
oohh.. wat a sight..
Perhaps I'll start doing this every wed. and yeah it beats our nite blading where there's absolutely no one!
