Revamped

haven't meddled the layout for a while. the black theme was fairly classic.
but why not something bright and chirpy for a change?

tweaked the layout a bit. with some addition that is.
with the significant half making his presence. a first attempt
that is.. looking fwd to adding more to the stash!

Karma..

Often associated with negativities. Very much a favourite word of mine.
And so i say to some.."there's always karma..."

Never have expected things to unfold into how it is today.
Wouldn't have it any other way nor lament about how flowers never bloomed till summer time.

Am basking in the growth process..
Baby steps so he says.
i concur.

Perhaps its a positive karma this time round.
about time it came ard to me..
Fingers crossed

A new beginning

who would have thought, a weekend away uncovered a beautiful surprise.
An intangible one it seems, yet brings with it total bliss.

am looking forward to a new beginning..an adventure ahead with a great partner in "crime"

Nothing comes easy...

the journey thus far had its fair share of bumps.
not a bad thing afterall. am sure resultant effect will be
a well polished end product. looking forward to that

Overdue...and finally

The family portrait became a reality. Finally. The elder sis was happy, so was the younger one.
3hrs prior to the actual photoshoot, she buzzed abt the house. "Do i look ok?" "May i borrow your makeup" ...etc etc..
Was quite an interesting sight.

The younger one donned the bright yellow dress, whilst the elder one took on a nice satin pink outfit. They looked really pretty.
The snapping process was quite a hassle. can't imagine hw it'll be like for the actual big day. gulp. nvm..prolly wudn't happen till a few years more down the road.

The outcome made me realise that it was worth it all. A family pic. Priceless.

A moment sealed in history.

Wish he was around..

Knowing what u want and what u don't

and so i spoke to a mate about that. ok perhaps not one mate but quite a few on that similar topic. a seemingly simple question, yet it creates quite a fair bit of discussion. a fairly valid topic to work on for almost everyone, yet, many a times well-shunned by aplenty.

if only life was that simple? mebbe it is, we just complicate matters.

so u do know what u want? then work towards it and reap the rewards? easier said than done.
consequences, varied outcome possibilities and fear somewhat hinders the action. So they say, take
calculated risks. don't think that works alot. then again, i may be wrong. life cud hv been better or easier
if i took on 'calculated risks' ? nvrtheless, am not regretting the decisions made thus far in life. am thankful
for the very existence.

perhaps one shd just go with the gut feel of things. haha, suicidal decision making method at times. but could possibly reap
some goodness!

post easter blues?

perhaps, especially with a long weekend spent.

thankfully all was calm at desk, except for the occasional buzz
a perfect time for admin work to kick in..
and an occasional chatter

the post work breeze was great,
whiffs of char-grilled meats, fried noodles send grumbles in the tummy

settling for braised duck was certainly comforting, especially
with the company of a very experienced mentor from the mkts.

always a fascination how time and experiences brings humility..
i look forward to that and wish for a whole hearted embrace in time to come..

and so a random person sent me a random msg:

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift, that's why its called the Present"

how true indeed..

pen & paper..

# 2 is done
felt weird, heavy & a cocktail shakeup of emotions.thankfully the A4 sized paper got filled up within 15minutes.
Any longer would hv been disastrous. Shall try # 3 tmr. Might be better.

Baking treats..

Its about time.. i still owe some of you.

Gotta work on the recipes! Weeeee!

And now....hmmm.....

what to do for the big day....

the idea of a lil graffiti is very tempting....

Another lunar new year

Yes indeed. A brand new one ahead.
the usual buzz took place at home, but with a slight twist of things.
#3 didnt turn up till quite late. I bet its due to the tension created several
months back. in my view, that incident was a complete waste of time.
i hope those involved realised that. MOVE on guys!

The heat came down mercilessly. thankfully the dress came sleeveless.
Mdm was pleased with her outfit. Am glad she does...

poker seemed to be the game of the season. the session at ivan's was
very enjoyable. Shaune came along with his bagful of goodies.. heh

to guard your heart...

so says he...

to follow your heart..

so says she...

to take a pick..

so says me...

contentment

an alfresco setting
a simple conversation
kickass dishes
and a light breeze in the face

what else can one ask...

i know..perhaps another round of horfun/chow mien from the wok

i love zichar..

simply decadence...

And i feel very much loved by the people around me

very often we forsake those just right ahead of us
and yet more often, we forget the love and concern showered

i love you all, for those who love me...

my bad if i've forgotten or forsaken you ever..

Got reminded of this muse spot over dinner yesterday.

Ah yes...i do hv a forsaken blog. Very much guilty of not leaving type-prints on it for such a long time. Perhaps am just running out of thoughts to note. The diary is nicely tucked at a little corner too.

Jan's over...Feb is ard the corner. Wonder if i shd plan up a party nxt month...mm.. been a while..

Lets see...

Someone gave a suggestion of a macdonald's party.. hhehehe.. mebbe i should just do that!
