2010 and 2011

Before we say goodbye to 2010, I would say, 2010 is definitely a better year for me.

Compared to 2009, when my opportunity turned out to be a disaster, a family matter that happened in 2009 July that turn my world upside down. I began not to trust people around me, and it was hard for me to say goodbye to a young relative that we had lost who we had re-connect months before his death. Well, things got so bad that I began to hope those people who harm the innocent will get their punishment from God immediately as some people don't deserve to live in the world will just leave the world and vanish forever.

(Certain things, you will not understand unless you experienced it yourself.)

Well, this year 2010, before it conclude in the next few days, it is a year, I had come to know a lot of new friends, colleagues from different organisation, more affirm to make the next move in life, as I began to get little praise from the things I do, but it is just better than nothing.

I never forget:
1. The little notes that my managers and fellow colleagues, friends who are older than me had reminded me in life.
2. I began to know myself better to reject things I dislike and to praise more when needed.
3. Treasure things that I might lost so that I will not regret and look back feeling lost.

To those who loved me from Jan - Dec 2010:
Thanks for the help and concern in life, God Bless!

Though it may not be the best year but it is definitely better than 2009 and 2008.

Let's look forward to 2011 and hope everyone will have better health, raising economy and more job opportunities to those who yet to find a job after graduation (to my friends).

Song Recommendation:
No More Cryin by Nicky Lee

Movie Recommendation- November

Another great production by Walt Disney Pictures, Rapunzel, a movie not to be missed. Rated as one of the most hilarious, hair raising and entertaining movie of the year in google and yahoo web. When the kingdom's most wanted and most charming bandit Flynn Rider (background vocal by Zachary Levi) hides out in a mysterious tower, he was taken hostage by Rapunzel (background vocal by Mandy Moore), a beautiful, and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair.

Flynn's curious captor, who was looking for her ticket out of the mysterious tower where she had been locked for 17 years, strikes a deal with the handsome and charming, Flynn Rider, which sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with super-cop horse, Maximus, an over-protective chameleon, Pascal, and a gruff gang of pub thugs, and the adventures begins.

Will Rapunzel be able to escape from the evil hands of Mother Gothel?

Watch it and find out!

A movie worth your applause and time!

Available in 3D.

The Defining Moment

Raining, Saturday, 23/10/2010.

It had been some time since I update my blog post.

Well, sometimes, I do feel that we undergo changes in different stages of our life had mould us to become a better person in future. Yet, it is yet contradicting to realise when we enter into early, mid to late adult, we had to do certain things against our thoughts, be harmonise to the social context and the people around us.

For our own good or it is no choice thus we make changes?

Singaporean lacks creativity?

Ans: I doubt. We do have talents.

But yet, it is because of mainstream language that lead to unable to unfold the wonders of language to express our thoughts, values, belief in different themes and situations, contexts and settings.

Second, the person around us that lead us to follow their way of doing certain things... which at the end, when one after another propsed ideal are set aside as its beyond the safety net and just afraid some high-up authority will lead to making responsible for your action.

As mention by one of my close friends, this is something which happen to her in a proposed idea to the company yet it is pulled out because of 2 reasons.

1st : It is too risky

2nd : It does not match the objectives of the design company (* this friend of mine is from a creative, designing firm)

From the girl-near-door Elva Hsiao marched into her 11th year in Mando-pop, Elva Hsiao presents her 11th album Miss Elva in 2010! The record company reportedly splashed lots of money on the album's visual aspect to create 11 new looks for the Taiwan diva, including the fan-favorite androgynous style. T

he album also has numerous surprises music-wise, with Elva being particularly creative as she has written five songs and produced three. Continuing the style of the hit song "Sparklingly Lovely" from the previous album Diamond Candy, the titular first plug "Miss Elva" marks the first time Elva collaborated with Golden Melody Award-winning composer Showan and lyricist David Ke.

The electronic dance anthem also impresses with some "cooler than 3D" visual effects in its costly music video.

Everlasting ?!

While reaching home yesterday night, my Mum opened the door for me, as I forgot to bring the house keys, she did not ask me for coming home late, yet she mentioned," Mr Lee Kuan Yew 's wife had passed away."

I was stunned.

When I started my work at a medical context, I understand daily, I will be seeing people who are born and died everyday, thus it is very common to me. But I guess, that is a fact of life which I had been trying to accept though times, I do hope that if evolution can change, how will it be great to have your loved ones to be with you, always. Yet a church brother who was doing a sharing at a church meeting which I used to go, said," In life, nothing is forever and everlasting, every situation, every person, every context you are in, whether is sorrow, pain, joy and sadness will have a cycle and will not last forever."

Well, when he spell out this words on such topic during this church meeting, I was against it in the first place. Yet as reaching adulthood, I began to realise his words is certainly true.

Thus, to those who had certain things in their hands, grab it well before it is lost.

For the passed week, these are 2 activities which I spent some quality time with my friends, it is some joyful occasions.

红白喜事 (New Beginning)

12.55pm, Sunday, 26 Sept 2010, Sunny

New Beginning, a drama featuring Jeanette Aw, Alvin Ng, Tay Pin Hui and Jessica Liu did inspire me when it was shown in Channel 8 earlier this year. As in my previous posting, life was pretty dramatic. However, study and work had kept me occupied to free myself from all troubles and thoughts.

Eventually the problem is solved, on Mid Autumn festival, 22 Sept 2010, everything is solved and gone for good for the time being. We are friends but definitely not as close as before as we will not be chatting, sms -ing daily or meeting each other as often. But I guess, that is the best decision and move for us as both of us does not want to affect our life to think of things that are impossible.

Quote from the drama, New Beginning, "There are 2 events in life that you will meet your friends whom you had not meet for lost contact for months, years and it is none other than, in wedding and funeral."

But thankfully, this is a happy occasion, a wedding of my secondary school friend, Sharon & Nicholas.

Thanks for the invitation, and friends who came, Jasmine, Li Juan, Fengxia, Roy, great effort to have bookmarked this event in mind.

Well, ever since I started working during my secondary school days, I used enjoy every bits of my work and interacting with people just like now. Though, times had changed, I am doing a part time degree and working at the same time, but I guess, as we grew mature, many things we do have our own opinions and hope to see we do bring some changes to our life just like one aspect of my course had taught me, "to look at things from different perspectives."

Truly, as in life, there is no right or wrong in making a certain decision(s) at the point of time, it is just a matter of survival at the very right of time.


We hope to be known and be understood by others, it is a channel to let the people around you to accept you. But sometimes, if every bits and pieces of stuff you do, you need to explain, it can be tiring and does not bring any process especially in relationship, but it is a fact that we all have to accept be it in work, at school or relationship.

Everyday, it is learning process of life we have to accept.

Is it because most of our time we had spend on other stuff which we perceive to be important or because we hate or fear of failure in some parts of our life?

Ans: I don't know.

Miss ELVA 2010

2.45pm, 11th Sept 2010, Sunny

It was a fanastic weekend. Having to watch a concert of ELVA Hsiao @ Singapore Indoor Stadium with my primary & poly friend, Wei Keong. I guess, we did promise each other that when our adulthood starts, we must create and fulfill each little dreams of ours including watching concert @ Indoor Stadium of our idol(s).

Well, spending on a concert featuring my favourite artistes or even a musicial performance is how my friends and I distresses.

This 2 set of tickets were purchased in early July.

However, I won a set of 2 tickets in a contest. Yet this set of tickets was given a friend of mine, who is also a fan of ELVA as her first birthday gift.

My reward: A cup of Koi Tea. After getting the tickets for her, she insisted to meet me @ Bugis because she wanna pass me a cup of Koi tea.

At the end of the day: (It does not matter what I get, but the heart matters.

This is the kind of friendship worth treasuring!
