Perfectability

Never have the thinking that your life is almost-perfect, because life can sense complacency; and when you think you have everything, it'll take away something. 

Always prepare for the worst: what if everything suddenly becomes nothing; what will become of you?... 

3am

I sat on the bench and lit a stick. 

Suddenly, raindrops started falling down, and memories started pouring in... 

Staying over at cousin's, hanging out with the godbros, downing drinks with the drunkards, burning midnight oil in school and at Macs, mahjonging with the gamblers, midnight mission with the commandos in Taiwan, night driving down memory lanes, partying with the good boys, suppering with the gang, and spending the nights with you in Singapore, in Vietnam and over the video conference... Most importantly, the trip we spent together as a family to China...

Night sky and rainy days are really amazing; amazingly beautiful

And then I finished my stick and went back to fight the usual normalcy of aimless insomnia 

阿嬷老了...

I'm not a toy! ><

Every night, I'm contented with the small space that I have... Knowing I'm giving you the comfort that you need 

After receiving 6 Distinctions for my A levels, many friends asked me why I chose not to apply for any of the more prestigious overseas universities...

This is why.

Some things, we cannot afford to forget...

"Wake up change Smart 4 go lunch liao!"

"Long 4 can a not?"

Though reservist just ended, seeing Mr Hau when I wake up somehow reminded me of the (much more carefree) army life... Instead of deciding how to kill off the time in Battalion, now we're all fighting for the 25th hour everyday. Just 2 years ago, we were all craving for this ORD that we now have.

I still love the opportunity to study; the freedom to leave school/hall as and when I feel like; the company (with/without girls) and "Company" (the boss here yo); and the clique (same old same old; Hendon or Temasek or even Senso, all awesomest without proportion to time spent)

But yea, life's always better in the past because the past has no more uncertainty

MARCHE!

Faith in Marche restored from awesome uncle that took pity in me and gave me an additional slice of snapper fish! (Probably cos he thought the little food I ordered wasn't enough to fill my fat body up)

HAHAH

--

Anyway, awesome picture you have there! Made the food looks so good... ;P
Pancake soon babe!

Tumbling down the blo(g)k

Was roaming around and saw this freaking awesome gif from Complete Calm and wanted to reblog it here but... I just can't...

WHEN IT REALIZES THE PERSON IS STILL THERE AND GOES BACK TO BEING ‘DEAD

NG take 2: *bang!* ... oh you're not dying? let's go home then...

Life Hack #1

Tear a car park coupon bottom-up instead of the normal top-down order; that way, even if you peel off a wrong timing, you can use it the next day/month/year!

Kinda handy for blur/sotong drivers like elinostalgia and sourcreams! Hahah

Of course, if you peeled the "Month" section wrong... you'll have to carefully plan the timing you wanna park your car on that particular date the next year (or 2/3/4 years from then when your parking coupon changes from the purple $0.50 to a yellow $4.50 one and you can park all night! Except there isn't a yellow-colored one yet)...

And yea... there isn't many places that actually require coupons nowadays anyway!

--

Actually have a few more hacks that I've thought of previously but really can't remember them off hand... hopefully I'll remember to write down my cheatsheet in the future!

Popping stars!

Been long since I've last heard new female singer in the Mandarin Music industry... and I've found quite a few!

薛凱琪, 曲婉婷, 白安, 洪佩瑜, 連詩雅, 關詩敏, 嚴藝丹, 梁心頤 (though she's not really new)!

Awesome...

I still remember his voice...

Maybe bcos I've almost lost it, that I really know its importance;

Cherish...

For who I am today

There is no one best parenting system; but I had the best one I could ever wish for... And she's half the reason. 

Randomly screening through my photo album and found this; half a month late but it's never too late for appreciation. 

--

I had this sudden realization that as I became more mature, time hasn't really been merciful on people around me as well...

strong like a strawberry; bounded like a bird

Sudden randomness to stalk Junyang's facebook profile and started to think about how life would be different if I have chosen a life abroad.
Perhaps I will never have the courage to do so; perhaps I am too used to my comfort zone...

But somehow, I marvel at how unbounded birds live lives so many of us envy.

The disparity here is pretty strong: what I want, and what I can muster; the belief of never living my life in regrets, and regretably, the life of beliefs
