It's so early... i don't really know why i'm still up....
Haven't stayed up til this late... since maybe those chalets... wait I think I fall asleep really early in chalets..
Oh wait... i know... that time me, zan and cheryl were at Conrad....
Battery dying in 3, 2, 1... better go right now...
It's hard to do.. but it's something I try to remember...
There seems to be so many distractions in life, seemingly so many problems, so little time to do everything.. I complain a lot.. but there's a lot I should be thankful for... a lot to be happy about... I am surrounded by people I love, whom I love back... even though sometimes it seems otherwise...
I have a home when many in the States are living on the streets and asking for spare change for their basic survival... it's hard to see this all the time whenever u go out... some of them smile and still tries to joke with people passing by, many who don't even acknowledge their presence... but it's so hard, to acknowledge them but yet unable to help them all... there's just too many...
I have clothes (more than enough), food and luxuries that I take for granted everyday...
Life is hard here but then I already have much more than so many others...
This is not the first time I write about this, but it serves more as a reminder for myself than for any of you who are now reading this...
I hope I don't forget how lucky I am...
Bloody stupid... couldn't upload 4 photos on my last post... well anyway.. it's the same here... So yup... cut off my hair again! Honestly, I prefer short hair to long... cos firstly... i think i look better w short hair... Sara disagreed when she came to SF... (hey sara... i'm using the SF cup u gave us! It's now my cup cos I'm sick and I used it... everyone else is shunning from that cup... it's now coined the sick cup... until I'm not sick anymore..)
Have been really busy these past 2 weeks... cos Sara was here, then Joyce came too! Sorry joyce that I was sick already when we met up... =| Hope u like metamorphosis... pai sei u caught me crying and reading the book that I was about to give you! hahaha... =)
What else what else? Hmmm... everything else seems like sama sama around here... weather is nice these past few days... not too cold not too hot, blue skies and warm sunshine... i like this weather... except i can't enjoy it as much since i'm sick...
Nothing much has changed... in general things don't change very much... not around here anyway... sch is gonna start in a few more weeks... so that's gonna keep me busy...
Been feeling a little lousy these days because of a long long long ago drama that has been happening... maybe one day i'll come around to blog about it... but really it's the kind of things that it just so *sigh* OMG, WTF?! Is this happening right now? Shouldn't people have outgrown this shit a LONG time ago? Well apparently, they don't... met some crazy people... hope i don't meet anymore... this is enough drama for probably the rest of my life...
Well ONE DAY... i'll let you all in on the details... just that the crazy woman is acting up again so i'm kinda in a bad mood... trying not to let her crazy antics get to me... but sometimes just can't help it...
Will feel better in a couple of seconds cos gonna eat my mum's really wonderful cooking! =)
As always, hope everyone is well in Singapore... =)
Love,

Just went out with my mum to Japantown for dinner (too lazy to cook today) and after dinner we went to get some ice cream crepes for dessert...
I don't know what's the occasion but there were several wishing trees in the shopping center... they also had pieces of paper for people to write their own wishes and hang it on the trees... I wrote one myself.. but I saw some really wonderful wishes... and they were written by children...
Anna wishes for "homeless peopel to have homes" (that's how she spelt people too)... I just think that children have the most generous spirit and have so much love for others and the world...
A lot of the other wishes though just as thoughtful and wonderful, revolved mostly around their own lives- like success in their jobs, health of friends and family, happiness in their lives.. even my own wish too... that when I read what children wrote for their wishes, I felt really touched...
I guess as you get older, more problems and irritations get in the way.. that it gets harder and harder to see how blessed we really are and wish for a better life for all the other people in the world... It's easy to say "world peace" but then I feel that I have so many issues and problems to deal with in my life that I have to try and get peace in my own world before hoping for peace on earth...
Just happy to have read Anna and all the other children's wishes on the wish trees... looking at the world through a child's eyes makes me feel really blessed that I have so much... I just hope I will be able to remember this feeling tomorrow...
