The road less taken

Today, I choose to take the road less travelled, to the unknown path. 

Yes, it's risky and scary because you don't know where it'll lead you. 

But with a leap of faith, that all will be well .. This is what I discovered along the way. 

It could be bumpy, longer route to take you to the destination. But it's the journey that makes all the difference. You just embrace the unknown and enjoy the journey. 

No pressure to hurry to the destination. You are walking at your own pace and you feel at peace with yourself. I guess that's what living in the moment really means. 

Updates

I really love this quote from Mr Jobs:

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something- your gut, destined, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

How true is that!

I guess I've matured a little- I have learnt not to be too headstrong and to go with the flow instead. 

In whatever you do, have faith that God has everything planned for you, & He only wants the best for you. When you fill up your mind with only positive thoughts, your life magnifies and good things will happen to you. 

If it's too exhausting for you, I'll keep my distance. 

If you don't see this as a red flag, we will eventually move on- to our own separate ways.

Cause not everything need to be told, every single time. 

You gotta feel it, with all your heart. 

& do it because your heart wants to.

I'm slowly losing faith because I know my worth. & I'd rather be alone than desperate.  

New journey

Hola!

Wow, it has been two months going to the third month already since I'm here in Singapore!

Time flies!

Wait, years passed by like weeks right after graduation. I don't know what happened in between right after Year 2009. I miss schooling! T.T

So, what am I doing in Singapore right now? How am I doing? Am I adapting well to the new working environment?

My answer to all these questions is a YES! I'm coping very well right now. The hardest phase is over, I don't know about the future. But as of now, everything's good, except for the fact. I feel so empty. Sighs. Guess I must be feeling homesick. Haha

Guess what, my mum was here for a week! You know how I really hated it when my mum every single time without failed, like a playback audio kept advising  me to take care. Be safe! Be careful, stuff like that? (I secretly love it now when my mum nags me.. Cos I miss her T.T) 

As soon as my mum is back from Japan, I told her to stay here for a week, to experience what I've been experiencing right now. This country is so freaking safe ! But their food is lousy and expensive! To cut long story short, my mum didn't like it here. Haha

But that one week was the best time I've ever had in my time in Singapore. For the first time ever, I feel like home. Just imagine for the past months, I come home to seeing the four walls, eating rubbish food, no one to talk to. In short, I was an emotionless robot. Nothing to look forward to. But my mum's presence made all the differences. Although it was tiring to travel after work to my mum's place then back to my own place everyday, but it was all worth it. Imagine this scenario now, you come home to seeing your mum and shared with her your day at work, home cooked food was prepared for you & best of all, your mum walked you to the bus stop- cos we both knew, time spent together was too precious.

Don't take your parents for granted, and trust me, when you're faraway from home. You'll then realize your parents are the best gift ever! For my case, that persons happen to be my mum and sister both playing the role of a dad and mum to me. 

End of story. Sleepy. Ciao

I'm so tired 😭

On staying positive

Oh dear. 

I know it's not gonna be easy, but I don't know it's gonna be this difficult either. 

Not so much on the physical, but mentally- I am exhausted. 

When indulging in good food no longer works. I know I'm in trouble. 

I used to be able to distract myself by indulging in food excessively. At least I feel happy, even though it's only temporary. 

But today is one of those rare days, where I completely broke down. I couldn't hold my tears any longer. 

Transition Period

I dare you to be patient with life. To know that it changes more than you think it does. To realize that the ugliness of the day can be turned into the beauty of tomorrow. And to also be patient with yourself, and to know that you too are a piece of artwork that is unfinished.

I dare you to believe in tomorrow. Not because it is promised to you – it isn’t. But because it is that place in which possibility exists. The possibilities that the struggles you encounter will become the testimonies you celebrate.

But above all, I dare you to believe in today. In this hour, in this moment, and in you. That your life has brought you to it; that you can survive it simply by being in it. I dare you to be in your life in this moment. In this moment, I dare you just to be.

Thank you, exactly what I needed at the moment. Words of encouragement. Ahahahaha 

Being Your Most Successful Self

Success, like a relationship, does not happen overnight. It’s something that needs time, a little bit of luck and dedication. Your twenties are not supposed to be the years you’re taking jets to St. Barths and enjoying the perks of a car service.

Your twenties are for paying your dues, learning the ropes and climbing all those ladders. Your thirties are for reaping the benefits.

Stop stressing because you’re not in your dream job or making that six-figure salary just yet. You need time to create your brand, build your dreams and look forward to the good life.

"The most beautiful part to loving a guarded girl is this: When she lets you in, it’s not because she needs you. She stopped needing people a long time ago. It’s because she wants you. And that – that is the purest love of all."

Spring in Japan

The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back to hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. 

Seize the day.
