Lately, I have been contemplating on what I was designed for.. and after the very long search of what really made me tick, what really brings out the passion and talents that was bestowed to me from above.. i would say that i very much reached a conclusion.
I always deny it, but really, as silly as it may sound, i really love handicrafts.
I love creating things out of paper, and now i am experimenting a little on accessories and the thread and needle. :P
Sometimes i wonder what kind of jobs i can take on that well, make me happy. I;ve thought of being a florist, but isnt that wayyy wayyy too unambitious at all? esp for a young (well not so, but generally yes) lady like me, when opportunities are vast?
Well, I sure am not fully confident of my "crafty'" (pun unintended) abilities.. but i must start somewhere righttt....? (: I hope next time, I can be like this lady. Set up my handicraft and events company ... ((:

anyway, heres something i made cos my fingers were feeling all itchy..
Hmm well its a start.. i think its a little too tacky.. lets wait for the next wave of inspiration. :/
End.

Howdy howdy ho! Surprise surprise!
I thought i dropped this old nest a visit, and it sure feels good. It feels weird to be writing again, and like an un-oiled engine, my thoughts fail to express itself finely in print as it used to before. :(
Some significant changes in my life, of that would of course be what i would dubbed "merging of hearts". Ha, yes corny, but my happy heart has con-joined itself to another happy heart. Being in love for the first time, is like what a friend once told me- an awakening. An awakening to beauty, to the revelation of how deep love can make it's way to areas of your heart you never knew existed. And along with that, the power it has to cripple and strengthen, to uplift and destroy.
Relationships itself are something i do not toy with, and thus my track record of holding my single status for 21 years. My decision to put an end to this came at a very unexpected bend of events that transpired out from a silly social night event. (I am sure some of you have known about it, as it was raging news on facebook) Infatuation (i wont say it's love) finds you when you very least expect it, well at least for me.
Sometimes I find myself to be very paranoid, always evaluating even after making the decision. I dont know how many of you do that, but it's very annoying for yourself and perhaps very unfair for your partner. It is just like how you are going shopping for a pair of shoes with only a limited amount of $$. You can only purchase one, and once the decision is made, chances of you turning back is nearly impossible. I always slip into this realm where these thought dance around... and my whole head starts to spiral into a pit of uncertainty..
Girls, can never make up their minds... choosing between shoes can be difficult, this unhealthy behaviour pattern can be applied to boys as well. or maybe it's just me . haha!
An acquaintance once told me this, in life it is very difficult to find someone that loves you and that you can love back. And I guess that woke me up, that I should be appreciative of what I have. Isnt it human nature to think of wanting "more" and ensuring to get the "best" out of everything? One thing I have learnt, never use the head for what is meant for the heart. When it comes to matters of the heart, leave it to the heart and let it take lead. (:
Love rules with no rules
and with this, my little surprise post ends here.

Tell me, do we learn from other people's mistakes or from our own mistakes?
It's mind boggling for me. Sometimes we want to learn from other people's mistakes, but with that we then do not give what we want a shot/ a try. We tend to take less chances and play safe most of the time.
So what now?
Maybe what we can do is to hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Take that leap. Live life with no regrets, regardless the outcome.
& lastly: denial, a friend or foe?

Nice to be back in this cosy comfy space. *adjusts butt*
I do not want to render this blog useless, so here's a little update.
So much has happened since my last post here. So many thoughts have scrambled through my mind and my emotions, suffice to say, followed suit.
I really do not have a particular something that i wish to pen down, but i will just pluck whatever thoughts that are floating around in my head, and somewhat expand on it.
As much as i would like to say that i have a mind of my own, i daresay, not really. I mean, there are certain areas i stand strongly upon, but there are some which i am still faltering by. I believe that every thing happens for a reason, whether you see it or not, there is a purpose behind every situation we encounter. Some situations may not bring out anything "productive" or "beneficial" but with the right eye, and attitude we can sieve out the good of a problem. The good could be a discovering of ourselves, what we need to change or a revealing of our likes/dislikes or it could shed some light to what life should be and how it should be lived.
I am very thankful that God has placed me in situations that tossed my feelings and thoughts rigorously like in a salad bowl. I find myself to be like a fresh ceasar salad thereafter; my view on life has taken a new perspective and I feel alot happier and wiser.
You know it is very easy for us to heed other people's advice at the expanse of our happiness. I realize that many of us (me included) make decisions that would make us feel secure rather than truly happy. True isnt it? I mean really, do ask yourself. It does take a certain amount of boldness to believe and fight for what you really want despite the daunting/unfavorable circumstances that stands in our way. It takes faith and guts. But well, Ive come to a conclusion.. life is a journey, it's all about experiencing and making mistakes. I mean, sometimes we are so afraid of making mistakes we fail to realise that failure is life's greatest teacher. failure makes us better. failure adds value to our character.
Life is a long journey, and it will be boring if we stuck to the straight path. You'll never know what you will find if u just steer into the woods... hmm maybe spot bambi or some hot chick like pocahontas or crazy dancing couples like tarazan and jane. ha.
Live life with no regrets. Just do what makes you happy.
Cos when u are happy, other people will be happy! Happiness is infectious!
Think i am done. I know my thoughts are not as coherent as i hope it would be, but well, my blog my rules ! ;p
i hope you shine brighter as i come closer.

Alright, now that the stormy seas have reached a calm, *clasp hands together*, its time for an update (: I want to call this post, mish mash potato cos its gonna be a mish mash post! a little bit of everything (: and guess what, all complimented with some nice visuals to add a little ease on the eyes while reading. (this is gonna be a little lengthy post due to the lack of updates for the past few days, i must stay committed to my cause )
First off, I WANT MY OWN MACBOOK PRO! Not that I tend to covet for the latest and most powerful/"in-fashion" gadgets/techies but its really just for the sake of photoshop and illustrator! (lOVE EM TOPS) And due to that i always have to hog my brother's com, which causes alot of inconvenience. WHY? cos this is what my brother does on his COM.(most of the time)
That aside, I am moving outt and I really hate the thought of moving away from Serangoon gardens. No more cell group meetings at my place, no more late nights at gardens, no more short walks to the club - gym & swim, no more walking from s'goon mrt to s'gardens, and basically no more "convenience".. etc. I think s'gardens is the best place to stay, with good food and great hang outs all in a stone's throw! :( I have not packed my room as yet and i really dont know where to start. but so far most of the other stuff have been all neatly packed into brown boxes. see see below!crazy stuff, my family is a hoarder. hoarder chias.
And then of course, some changes in S'goon gardens that really irks me.
The old corner coffee shop is now the commercialized citibank. :( sry my photography skills fail, i am not lena.
And of course, i really dont know why they are felling the trees. another irk. self proclaimed tree hugger!
changes are the only constants. right? lets hope this is for the better...!
I love cell group games. Weiwen is a very creative game master.,,, tsk tsk.
One of his victims: joyce tan.
and of course, when chevy came backkk... we got creative!:D
Ivy and I holding out sign boards while awaiting for the grand arrival of "china boi" as dubbed by joyce!
Ahh and last of al, the cause that i committed this blog to:
PRINT PATTERNS/GRAPHIC ART GALORE! :D Okay just 2 pics i chanced upon and LOVED :D
AND THATS ALL!! ((: yay can slack for the next 3 days. updates soon!
** This post can also be found on thisgetsmehigh.tumblr.com **

Toodle poodles!

This is a very impromptu post, because it never crossed my mind to write something here till I inquisitively clicked on all my past archived writings/postings. It's very interesting to see how my writing style has changed and how the things that i write about varied progressively.
I was more carefree and crazy as compared to whatever that I am normally blogging now. More contemplative less crazy. :( sighhs. How i wish that inner child was still as active :(
Here are some abstracts i picked very randomly:
Date: 24/11/06
Title: Nil (as usual)
"Hi everyone!Its me! On the count of three i wanna hear a "YIPPEEE" from ya all pleasee!!
1 ....2.....3 and YIPEEEE!
Man, you guys are full of gung ho ! i love it!
and as for those who didnt say(i wont mention names), you need ta loosen up a lil bit.its good to be a lil crazy once in a while. "
Date: 28/12/06
"U know what.We are all gonna DIEEEEE!
ALL RAIN NO SUN.NO vit D.we are gonna die!!!
my last words, love you all, always."
Oh man, so cute right, how adorable and silly at the same time. Alright, nostalgia is overwhelming me right now and I start to wonder why am I not crazy anymore!! i think i have aged in my heart, oh dang!!!
I shall make it a point to be little happier, a little crazier, a little looney now in my posts. Okay, be prepared my dear readers, for a SOT SOT spirit! :D like the picture below~~
[ Sot Sot: crazy in hokkien i think!]
On a side note, I really love morning prayer meetings! And i hate myself for being so ill disciplined! NOT SLEEPING YET LEH :(
okay BUAI BUAI!
