A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

looking out of the window on a moonlit night

Just read one of my best friend's latest blog entry. It was emotional, I could wholly feel how she felt as she penned those powerful words. "I'll miss...I'll miss...I'll miss..." For once, my dear lil piece of haven, I'm speechless. I feel as though I have a thousand and one things to comment, yet words evade me. How so? Coz having been through it all, I understand. Totally. Reading what she wrote brought back an entire flood of memories...Every december, I can't refrain from being more reflective than ever...And yep, my leave officially starts from tomorrow...I shall savour every passing moment! :)

How ironic...when I've got the time and I know I have to rest, sleep pulls a silent getaway on me. I find myself staring out the window into the night sky, blank, yet my mind's still whirring away with random thoughts. What a contradiction! At times, everything just seems like an endless race. Nope, I'm not tired, I'm not drained, and neither am I near giving up nor jaded. Perhaps, I've simply reached the point whereby changing mindsets have converged onto a point where everything seems clear and hence there's no actual need to look through the fog anymore.

An acquaintance asked me earlier today, "who's the lucky chap?" He knows it I'm sure. I'm the lucky dame. :) It's amazing how someone can do so much. I can list down all the good things I've so very much come to appreciate but I believe the list will be never-ending. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for always giving in to me. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for always putting me above yourself. Thank you for sharing all you have with me and more. Thank you for always listening. Thank you for taking everything in your stride. Thank you for giving me my freedom, yet standing by quietly to shower me with understanding, patience, attention and love. I am so proud of you. You are the best thing that has happened to me! :) Big BIG thank you for everything!
