Wonderful invention

October 27, 2006

Was browsing through my old photos to select a few to be developed, and.. as usual, started flipping through every old albums I’ve saved.

Les Amis.Au Jardin
Really one of my fondest memories. One year spent working there has made me see the importance of having fun colleagues who become friends. Team camaraderie that saw us through the most trying times. And managers who are like fathers and brothers, a hand over my heaving shoulders as I cry, the patience to guide me to better myself. These are the people you cannot make me forget.

How could I ever do without her.

Indeed it is.

Friends
Who can do without friends? The ones who pull you out of trouble; the ones who laugh incessantly at the old times; the ones who probably know you better than your family would.

Family
Lazy saturdays and sundays spent together. Doing nothing and doing everything. They’re who I look forward to seeing everyday, and they’re so much to me in so many ways.

 I realised, I’ve been in school for 10 weeks, but I have never posted any photos about school life before,

So here, we have our seminar room where we have lessons; this extremely cool 3-layer sliding whiteboards; and we have the console that controls the projector screens, and all the tech gimmicks, and my project group rehearsing for our presentation.

They are, the whackiest people, the windsurfers!!!! Ivena there was playing this game called Chubby Bunny, where you have to stuff as many marshmellows into your mouth and then say chubby bunny intelligibly.

And back home..

We’ve turned our music room into a slacking den.

Mighty vocals

I learnt the rope, I learnt the deal
I know I’m not allowed to feel
I never meant to feel so much
The need to feel his gentle touch

Like winter nights need fire
Like temples need a shrine
Like lovers need desire
Like prophets need a sign

I need him, can’t he see..
I need him, to be mine..

- I need him, Forbidden City

This song is so well sung that I get goosebumps everytime I listened to it. It was when the Empress Dowager (still a concubine when she sung this song) was missing the Emperor.

p.s. Louis!!!

I have this extemely strong urge to throw everything down and not bother anymore.

A little grey

I have taken a crazy addiction to Grey’s Anatomy.

There are so many intersting and thought invoking quotes that are too good not to be shared;

“Meredith Grey: At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross. “

What are you living life for?

Or, what are the things that, without them, you might as well stop breathing?

Yes, these are the things that are what keeps you alive, isn’t it?

They’re exclusive to everyone, and I suppose knowing what they are keeps you fighting for what you want in life, in spite of the obstacles.

For what matters; they’re the things that you never stopped thinking about, they’re the things you constantly talk about with a certain ferventness.

Over the years, I realised that the things that matter to me, changed. Things that are important to me shifted about in the agenda. They become clearer as the grey shades lifted. I fight with more intensity now, for the things that I want.

So what are you living for?
