No more opera
It all happened so quick, and on hindsight, the feeling is almost sanguine. The initial helplessness was unimaginable. But the fact soon sank in with a new perspective in sight - This is after all not too bad an outcome. A blessing in disguise - I hope.
No longer have to watch the opera. Was never a fan of it. The load feels much lighter now, especially with the beloved's ever comforting words. I promise I will take good care of you.
Yes and no more opera. Am thankful for that.

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

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..

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

that inner peace..
is it that tough to attain? somehow.. that need triggered today. "You should leave the office by 630pm" so says the boss..
felt weird to step out of my keyboard and monitors fortress, seeing some evening sun. the streets were quite crowded. i'm not used to that.. the subway was packed..i'm not used to that.. stroll to the axs machine for bill payment... eyebrow session.. nt quite used to them, esp for the past 3mths.. am i officially burnt out? perhaps...
the stack of readings threw me a nasty glare.. can't seem to leave them alone. picked up a copy - SG weekly.. flipped thru.. they actually make sense to me. the others stared hard at me once more.. i couldn't be bothered. i needed to write.
to feel better, to be more at ease. have not penned for a long while. the diary looks dusty by the bed side. the last entry looks horrid... unsightly handwriting. somewhat wish that i regain that ability to pen something that looks decent. laziness? perhaps..
or perhaps just another convenient excuse...
perhaps meditation works.. or sitting by the beach sipping mojitos...... u tell me what works..

fulfilment..
the week past way too fast. i could barely catch up to clear my thoughts. the trip to the hk office was tiring.. i hate the last flight out schedule. swear i'm not gonna do that nxt time. at least on the return leg.
rush- airport. rush-hotel. rush-office. rush-meeting.rush-dinner.rush-office.rush-lunch.rush-airport.rush...
that was the schedule. perhaps the only comfort was the light brown BV wallet i got for myself. the 2.55 was calling out. shaune and adler think its nice.. very wicked.
fulfilment popped the brain. am i feeling fulfilled? speaking of basic needs.. the hierachy needs some reworking.
perhaps..one day.. i will be ready to move out..and she'll be ready to accept. she needs to learn..and i have to learn as well.
