Been working too many hours too many days and yearning a proper break (though I just took one in April). When the whole world comes to you needing this and that, you start wondering how you manage to give so much more than you take. But then again this is a matter of perspective.
I just feel like babbling tonight. I read somewhere that if you’d just stop censoring whatever you think and start jotting down everything that comes through your head, you’ll discover so many things about yourself, the way you think, and even unearth some creative genius ideas along the way. (I wish I could say out loud to my clients all my honest opinions too. My choice of language might not be so pleasing to the ear.)
To those who don’t understand a single bit of what I was getting at, come give me a high-five. Cos I didn’t either.
of ignoring this personal blog of mine for so long. I hate to abandon it just like that because I still enjoy musing over the most mundane things. It’s just really a lot of other commitments that have kept me from blogging (excuses, excuses).
Anyway, I’d like to share my latest obsession with the most adorable Japanese-American girl whose father has been posting videos of her on Youtube. She’s quite the sensation and even has a Facebook fan page now. I wonder if she’d be flattered or freaked out if she found out. Without further ado, here’s Nina.
I don’t see my nieces as often as I’d like but every time I do (such as today), I’m amazed by how quickly they’re growing up. Elvia has almost finished Primary 1, getting brilliant scores for her exams, is assistant class monitress and unbelievably eloquent for her age. Elina, who’s turning 6 next year, is funny, vivacious and always laughing, or finding ways to amuse herself.
Love them so much and they are such good reasons for me to start on Christmas shopping!
Taken some months ago while the husband and I were having dinner and shooting the breeze at East Coast Park.
Tomorrow night, we will have been together for a grand total of 7 years. I’m looking forward to crossing that milestone, and realising the many plans that we talked about, one step at a time. Like in the movie Up, the only fear is not having enough time to go on all these adventures together. But then again, if we had infinite time (or infinite whatever), I suppose these things wouldn’t be as special and important anymore.
Heliconia. Maybe that’s why I picked it for the home. It’s very commonly found in Singapore and other tropical places. It’s not often I like something that is so accessible (other than food) but this is just one of those blooms that somehow has a positive effect on my mood.
and for me, it was when we stood 64 storeys above Bangkok city last weekend. The lights were bright, the breeze was a great respite from the heat on the ground, and a jazz vocalist was singing one of the most soulful versions of Autumn Leaves I’d ever heard.
