this is my story for 2009.

bittersweet. like how the taste of a cup of caramel latte would be. the sweet drizzle of caramel, a swirl of whipped cream, followed by a sip of bitter espresso aftertaste. it's good. but sometimes the bitter after taste lingers on the tongue a little too long for my liking. pop a marshmallow in and you'll be good again. thing is, I don't like marshmallows. period. so I'd rather let the aftertaste linger, and learn to appreciate it. bittersweet, indeed.

Am currently spending a 6 hour transit in Changi Airport, with fast internet connection, and a squishy nice sofa to sit on. I'm thinking of writing a closure for this year, but honestly, my mind is filled with too many random thoughts at the moment. happy I had lou mai kai before I left just cause I was craving for it so much. I'd still wished I'd wake up for dim sum. le sigh.

There were a few specific events that happened this year which were totally unexpected, a change from norm. December marks one of the craziest month ever. Honestly, at this point of time, I'm glad things aren't as bad as it seems, that most things are going the way it should be, like graduating from Monash, and my trip to US of the A. 2010 is definitely going to be exciting, challenging, and hopefully, a fuller year.


.. thank you all, for the birthday messages, the sweet surprises, the lovely gifts, the encouragements, and for simply making a difference in my life just because you guys care. (:

Have a Blessed New Years.

Today

.. marks my bittersweet 21st b'day.


Closure of one important chapter in my life,
embarking on an interesting chapter ahead.

if you'll be my star...

... i'll be your sky

you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when i turn jet black and you show off your light

i live to let you shine

i live to let you shine

but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy

far from here with more room to fly

just leave me your stardust to remember you by

-Meredith Godreau

Simplicity is the key

A friend once told me that.
So.
I'm applying it right now. This instance.
Why complicate life?

#1. I'm a graduate, of Monash University. Thank God!!!
#2. Taro balls from Snowflakes made me a happy girl.
#3. Should stop using the word stupid so often. It's not very pleasant.

#4. Anger management. Sensitivity button. Cut me some slack. Stop judging me.

#5. Christmas is just around the corner. Are you feeling the atmosphere yet? ;p
#6. Declining all part time job offers from today onwards. I need the quality time.
#7. Couples Retreat is quite a mindless humor movie.
#8. My schedule is filling up. Yet I still have important people I need to spend time with. ):
#9. Bring me on a ride. to somewhere unknown. somewhere magical.
#10. I'm breathing, and I've never been more thankful.

Tuning in to bed before 1am. With a book in hand.

Bliss.
