Gift

gift (gft)n.

Something that is bestowed voluntarily and without compensation

Preparing a gift to someone you fond of is enjoyable. First of all, I think of what the person might like or appreciate. Once I have an idea in mind, I would start seaching. Being a perfectionist, I try to visit as many places as possible to look for the best alternative. Somehow, heavy personal taste is involved. After I have got the item, then I would think of how to make it unique or at least special. When everything ready, the next step is wraping. I might chose a bag, a wrapping paper with ribbon, some dry grasses or flowers. Of course, a lot of time is then spent in the process of wrapping. I think of the right time to give (not necessary to be immediate) and the right means of delivery. It could be in person or by courier.

The best part is to witness the reaction of the receiver during unwrapping. It is like heaven even if the person is responding from far away.

As time goes by...

Because of following "Lost", I didn't have enough sleep for the past whole week. So, I decided to take this weekend slow just like those days in Singapore. Furthermore, I am not really in the mood as I am waiting to hearing from someone. The weather is getting cold. I have opened the window and allowed the breeze to freshen my apartment. Laying on the couch under my little cashmere silk blanket, I continued meeting with the survivers in "Lost".

Lazing at home, my head is filled with memories of my Singapore days, the neighbourhood and the people. Although I chose to move on with my life, yet Singapore is still in my heart. Now I realised why I have been keeping myself busy over the past weekends. I was not ready to face the lost of my lazy Singapore afternoons.

Slience... continue

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

Quote by Rachel Naomi Remen

Childhood dreams

What was your childhood dream? To become a policeman, fireman, teacher, lawyer or a banker? I had a dream, that is to get my MBA before 30.

After living for twenty odd years, I do have some regrets in life. However, it was not in my hand. Now, approaching 30, it is time to realise if my childhood dream. Would I regret if I didn't do it?

I am brought up to be an independent adult. Is it time for me to control my fate?

一早起身又唔願起身, 返到公司又唔想做野

Quote from 史上最毒的星座評語

雙魚座

超級幻想主義加現實主義的綜合體，如果說你是浪漫主義，還真汙辱了浪漫兩個字！因為你的浪漫只用在你自己的腦袋跟你淚\汪汪的眼框裡，從來就沒有實踐過，因為你根本沒有能力。所以你只有幻想，沒資格說浪漫！但奇怪的是，你又超現實，跟別人算錢的時候你可一點都不含糊，那種算計的嘴臉，也叫人看了終身難忘！

情緒主導了你的一生，真是令人感到可悲，因為你怎麼也學不會用一丁點的理智來幫助你淒慘的人生，到老死的時候，還會認為你們家壞掉的洗衣機，只是為了跟你做對，才故意不讓你洗衣服！瘋到這種程度，連三歲小孩都會因為你的無知，替你感到難過！

自以為在拍電影，永遠活在霧中，不知悔改的死傢伙！

Forever Friends!?

Dear blog visitors,

Assume you love somebody and you know this somebody actually prioritises friendship over romantic relationship. Would you rather stay friends forever or down grade yourself to be his lover?

This is purely a hypothetical question... as if I can make the choice.

If you love someone, set them free

Feeling of helplessness

The conversation over the same topic happened twice. Same questions and same answers. There was the slightest hint of desire for company, be it love or friendship. Thing ought to be sorted out. Everybody wants a happy ending. I love the person, this time round, I am willing to let him free.

sleepless in Taipei

Don't know why it happen. It has been the same in the past few days. Is it the food that I ate? Or food I didn't eat? Is my mind occupied by things which make me sleepless?

I hate the feeling. Most importantly, i have missed my detox process of the day... ummm... frustrated.

I would not be able to wake up tomorrow.

最好的時光

It is hard to define " 最好的時光". Nevertheless, it is a moment to remember.

To someone:

"Thank you for creating our memories time after time. They are exclusive to us only. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I am sure no one can take these memories away from us. Grateful to have you to share them with me. And thanks for letting me know that you enjoy the moments as much as I do."

日有所思, 夜有所夢

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you and I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
I wonder if you ever see me and I wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
Would you even care
I just wanna hold you close but so far
All I have are dreams of you

So I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you
Yes, I doI'll be dreaming of you tonight
Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight'Til tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly

It became a habit for me to go Page One reading books about astrology love relationships whenever I fell for someone. Pisces vs Cancer, vs Scorpio, vs Aquarius, etc... I did that repeatedly just because I found it heart warming. Everytime, I am full of passion and hope when flipping those books. They always tell me exactly thing I want to read, never let me down once.

I just came back from a trip to Page One, felt exhausted and was longing for a smoke. Sitting at the living room, smoking was just relaxing and fulfilling.

Have a good rest tonight and live a better day tomorrow. I will be patient.
