Why so serious?!

Is there a time to grow up? Do we consciously need to remind ourselves that we are supposed to become more mature or does it happen naturally, like a seamless transition?

I am not ready yet! I know I am not freaking young anymore, many of my friends already felt like age is catching up on them, but definitely not me! Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that I am still childish, I know for the fact that I am already an adult and now have my responsibilities and roles to fill, I just feel that there’s nothing wrong with feeling young and fun, don’t you agree? I mean, if everyone start thinking they are old, the world would become a dull and boring place…

Had a great night out with my ladies… after 15 years of friendship!!! Well I tell you the party was awesome and we are still pretty much young and happening!

Sometimes we just need to feel the wind in our hair and have fun!

Let’s Hit It!!!

I’ve been hitting the piano for weeks whenever I pop by my parent’s house for meals in hope of playing Adele’s “Someone like you” or “Turning Tables”, I tried to find free piano scores but those websites charge for it and since I haven’t bought scores online before, I decided not to (I’m glad I did not) and try decipher the notes by listening to the songs. Well, I could only manage to get the prelude right and I blame it on myself for giving up piano and not practicing hard enough when I was still having piano lessons.  My cousin always reminded me that I used to throw tantrums and roll on the floor at my piano teacher’s house…how funny and embarrassing, okay, I think I was only 5 or 6 years old then.

Anyway, so I was elated today when I found a youtube tutorial on the song!!!! Woots!!! And it was a damn good version, somewhat original, and I decided to stream it on the Ipad (finally I found a good purpose of the ipad other than using the safari) while I try playing it. Yay! It’s such a fulfilling day and I hope I’ll be able to perfect the song really soon!!! Can’t wait … keeping my fingers crossed!

For those who wants to learn to play it too… here’s the tutorial! I think it’s pretty idiot proof, so good luck folks!

Shanghai Dollies ———-> Pt 1 of many

I am so happy to be back in Sunny Singapore, especially after a week of winter cold in smoggy Shanghai! I really really missed Singapore, I even had some “twilight moments”, out of body experiences when my body is in Shanghai, but my soul and heart is in Singapore… Anyway, this was my first family trip the Tays, and everything went pretty smoothly and not forgetting the generous hospitality from Shiwen and her family, we were all very well-fed!

Well, this was my fourth time to Shanghai, I was impressed that they are kinda cleaned up, compared to my previous trips, toilets are clean and their restaurants do not have that weird smell now seriously! Down side was that free WIFI is almost impossible to tap in Shanghai, we all had to weave into some shopping malls, Apple store and we even stood in the cold @ Cheng Huang Temple street just to watsapp and worst, I did not get to shop!!! WTF right?! I under packed so I could buy some new clothes, but at the end, I had to re-wear some of my clothes *gross*.  This is the first time I am left with a wad of cash after a week, the rest of the time, I come home completely penniless…

Anyway, as a consolation to myself, at least I manage to capture loads of pictures of everyone and myself *roll eyes* in my different outfits/styling, entirely by my Oly Ep 3 .

**Disclaimer: This is going to be a self-absorbed post = overload of pictures of me!

Zombie post

I don’t know what has gotten over me to make “Waking up early” one of my resolutions for 2012. Only a few days ago, it seemed like a pretty good and healthy idea, but it really seem pretty dumb now. I did get out of bed approximately 2hours earlier to be precise, however instead of feeling energetic and all, I am so physically and mentally drained not to mention zombiefied when the clock strikes 11pm (not even 12 midnight,  I used to wake up at 11am and I turn in at 3am, staying up was easy peasy…. ) it’s so hard to peel my eyelids open to look like I’m listening to my girlies’ conversation and I was literally sleep walking home from the train station just now! I don’t even know if I am typing this post with a sensible mind since my brain is threatening to shut down like how my blackberry did moments ago. With this I shall end here and go to bed…goodnight folks!

Say What?! It’s 2012!

New year, New resolutions? I’m just so glad 2011 was officially history, man… I wanted it to be over so bad.

If only there’s a RESET button

I need to take charge of my life. My own life that is, and not anyone else’s.

This seemed like a self-centered post, but to me, it seemed that I don’t know who am I anymore, for a long long time, I don’t have my life, it always revolves around someone. If only I can push the “reset” button, I would do it without second thoughts.

Words told me that I should put others first, but life taught me otherwise. I mean, in my heart and mind I know to be righteous, one should help others, should always consider others’ thoughts and needs before oneself and not expecting any return, and that was the mantra I followed. However, I’ve reached a point in life which I believed is the pit, and only by standing at the standstill, I felt self-pity and helplessness. I was there trying to create opportunities for my friends, I would buy something in support of my friends even if I means I have only a penny left in my wallet or bank, I would absorb losses if I can help a person save some money, I would think of how a person feel before I care of how I feel… when is enough? Until I am stripped dry and till I collapse?

I don’t know how the future’s gonna be, for now I only know that I need to take care of myself from now onwards, and I need to put myself first, if I can’t survive, how I can help others? I need to be self sufficient first to be selfless… and perhaps step down and realise my capacity may not be as big as I thought.
