Goodbye 2014

It's the 365th day of 2014. Not sure how I've actually went through the 365 days. But here am I, reaching the last day of the year.
It's the usual ritual to glance back what you have done and ponder on what you plan to do. Have you done the same?

Hmm, so, what's 2014 for me?
Hospital visits, family estrangement, no long holiday or getaway, clinic visits, weddings event,  birthday party, Legoland, and work, work, work. Doesn't seems that fun though.

So, what will be there ahead for me in 2015?
I hope for a happier, healthier and contented me.

May all have a better year ahead.
May what you have experienced make a better you in the coming year.

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

Friend

Friend is a funny thing. When you have them, you don't realize they are around. But when they are gone, you missed their talks, their smiles and their presences.

Friends are who you are. Without them, you are like missing a part of yourself. Though you don't need all of them to be with you all the time, but just once  a while, with just their greetings alone, will make your day.

My friend,
Seeing you smile gives me assurance that things are going to be alright,
Looking at you, I know I need not fret over those small petty stuffs that make me unhappy,
Talking to you, I know I can just go ahead and do what I believe in myself.

Thank you, my friend.
Thank you for being my friend.

Cheers to friendship!

Stay the same

Don't you ever wish, you were someone else
You were meant to be, the way you are exactly
Don't you ever say, you don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far
And I hope you'll always stay the same
Cos there's nothing bout you I would change

This is just part of the song. Last song of the day, and it's consoling but at the same time provoking the inner thoughts. Have you not thought of why the current you is not good enough?
Have you not thought of how you could have done better or wiser?
Have you not thought of what cause you to become the current you?

Believe in yourself.
When there's a will, there's a way.
There's always a silver lining in every cloud.

Down

Merry Christmas! Still have to make a greeting, even though I'm feeling down. Have been feeling down for the past few days. Why? Because lotsa things seem to be going on, whether it's work or family.

Suddenly I had a hunch that people around me are asking me to change. Well, it's not that changes are not good, just that my mind can't seem to accept the request. Hhm, maybe it still needs time to digest about it. Things started quite abruptly.

And these few days, my mind is really occupied. It is so occupied that I do not even have the leisure to catch up my drama. Imagine that. It's unimaginable. Really.

Right now, my mind is still digesting. There may be some changes that I will try to accept and adjust, and adapt. But not all. Simply just can't (and don't want to) change myself overnight. Hopefully time can help me.

incredible

Was listening to this song "Incredible" by Celine Dion and Ne-Yo this morning.
Was really intrigued to check out the piano score because the music is simple with repeating tune but the song is amazing as a whole.
Sadly, not able to find the piano score, but get to watch a video or two about it. One is the piano cover uploaded by someone in YouTube, while the other is the making of the song. It's truly enjoyable watching them.
I didn't realized that the song is actually released in 2013, as I recalled only having heard it this year. It's truly an incredible song, after watching the making of video. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Learn, unlearn and relearn

I've read an interesting article today. And the thought that keep whirling in my head is "learn, unlearn and relearn".
It's simply so true that we are taught of something and if we want new breakthrough, we got to unlearn the thing taught and relearn again, in order to get a new perspective of it. Come to think of it, it seems like this message is being passed on not only in our working environment but also in drama. Have you ever noticed it?

We are always taught on following certain method in order not to get things done wrong. We fear of mistake and as if it is plague, we try our best to avoid it. But aren't we were also reminded of learning from mistake? If we are afraid of making mistakes, how are we going to get wrong? If we don't go the wrong way, how are we going to learn?

Are you the kind who need to check and confirm every single detail of the direction before starting your journey to reach your destination?
Or are you the kind that just need a rough idea on direction and just stumble along your journey to reach your destination?
Which one of it is you?

relationship...

What does a relationship means to you? 

Do we mostly just think about how to start a relationship? 

Starting is always a hard step. 

The fidgety feeling that makes you restless or uneasy.

The hopeful nights that keep you awake. 

And when a relationship is started, everything seems so wonderful. Everything is so new, so intriguing, so exciting.

But have we ever thought of how to maintain a relationship? To keep it going. To make the bond stronger.

Maintaining is not an easy feat, which sometimes one forgets.

When differences occur, squabbles occur.

When squabbles occur, cracks occur.

When cracks occur, the rest is imaginable.

Remember.

Remember the starting moments.

Remember the moment it started.

Remember the attraction, remember the good, remember the promise.

Don't think of whether you'll be walking together or separately.

Think of whether you'll be walking a little slower or a little faster than each other.

As long as you are walking on the same path, it's just a matter of time to catch up with each other.

0.2 of dec passed

Seriously, time flies. And with year end around the corner, there seems to have so much loose ends to tie up and so much things to start thinking of, till that it feels as if I'm in a whirling pool, where things are turning round and round.
Interestingly enough, the mind seems to be slightly clearer than the rest of the year. Maybe because it is seeing an ending, and ending brings a new beginning.

I've been thinking more frequently this month, trying to figure things out. Seems like the thinking that need to be done, are all accumulated throughout the year. Oh my, how did I spent my eleven months?
Looks like I gotta work hard, oh nope, it's my brain that gotta work hard this month.
