my 354

Amidst all the hustle and bustle of daily work schedules, I'd never once would have thought that my weekend would be so fulfilling! :)

This approximately 3-day self discovery had exceeded all my previous thoughts...At the beginning, I'd gone away thinking of how much I had to sacrifice to be there...And now, I even have the tiny thought that if I could do this all again, I possibly would.

Reconfirmations of past discussions, as well as addressing of unexpected aspects of certain broad topics made me reflective and quality time spent was priceless! Truth be told, I didn't think I could even survive the weekend but it all came out so differently, and now thinking back, I even wish time could have come to a halt at certain periods...more importantly, I've come to realise that I draw strength from him and I've finally learnt to release and forgive...This might not make sense to many but I've come away from this weekend more in focus, stronger and with a clearer idea of what the future might hold...

There's so much hurt and so much miscommunication and so much cynicism around me lately, so please, give me even more strength.

what's your thing Miss J?

I have this repeated question playing over and over in my mind. Don't you sometimes wonder if life would be a lot simpler if there aren't so many choices around? Perhaps, it's in many ways self-inflicted but then again, how so can you be sure if you hadn't decided amongst all alternatives?

I feel drained. Maybe it's the age. Or who knows, a by-product of all the stories I've been told lately. Horrible men (Sorry!), broken marriages, money woes, miscarriages, unsupportive families...

Yet underneath it all, way below my stubbornly strong exterior, I feel crumbled. Hmm...or do I wish I could go back to the times when I was once all too naive? But then, I would never have met the wonderful people who've come into my life all these years after.

Gonna miss you in BKK babe! A wise woman once said, "You're the only one who can control her strong willed ways". - Don't forget that!

Life is hard and definitely tough. It gets worse without your loved ones. So, in my very own words, "Chin up babe! Things can only get better!"

Valentine's round the corner. Hmm no concrete plans per say. If I had a choice, it would just be spending time with my loved one. Quality time spent would definitely something to be treasured right this moment.

Question stands - should I or should I not? I think I need a run to clear my head...

Dedication

The tea session back at my alma mater was surprisingly heart-warming and jolted memories back in the last ten years. Interestingly enough, it helped me put into perspective what I'd been deliberating about in the past few days. It helped me stay true to what I'd believed in, and not to give up without a fight. I'd previously felt a tad lost and demoralised but I now feel bit more optimistic and I've decided not to give up on the impossible dream. Most importantly, to always stay true to my heart. And to myself.





Dedication

We have shared our morning days
And gone through all rainy nights
Even in the darkest of nights
Stars still light up our way

Tomorrow is a beau-ti-ful dream
A dream that will be fulfilled
Cross the bridge of rainbow
In search of the gold

For here we stand (For here we stand)
Our dearest friends (Our dearest friends)
Sincerely from our hearts we wish (From our hearts we wish)
May streams of sunlight
Shine like rays of hope (Shine like rays of hope)
Hand in hand we work and shine
For the best things in life (For the best things in life)

as the farewell phrase goes...bon voyage

It's been a hard day at work today. And especially more so since a dear friend of mine will be leaving for WA tomorrow morning. Felle! I feel so very excited for you, yet even though we don't usually have the time to meet so very often, I still feel kinda sad that you're leaving so soon! Thinking back since the time I first got to know you at KP, and we've been through so much! You, me, Cheryl...and every one else all around! Rem our time spent in Perth? Sooo fun! Don't think I could ever forget those days...and I'm sure neither can you and Kel.

Thanks babe for all the good times...all your little gifts and thoughtfulness. You brought so much into my life without even knowing it. :)

So, I shan't get all emotional now...don't worry and fret not my dear friend, you'll love WA so much you won't bear to let it all go!!! Please do keep in touch always, and don't forget us all here back home...also, be back in Sept and bring your guy with you! :)
