My first of many things...

Christmas 2005... My first of many things happened...

For one, it was the first time I had to call an ambulance and admit someone into the hospital... My granny had a fit attack... but she's better now and her condition stablised....

This Christmas was also the day when it was the first time I got a bouquet of flowers from my mum for Christmas and my birthday mainly... Hee...

Bouquet of flowers for me from mummy...


This Christmas was also one, in the longest time, that I made something for most of my close friends....

Hanging mobile phone chains that I made for e AJ gang...


RT's Christmas presents that I made...


Karen's Earrings... for she's been looking for Red earrings for the longest time...


And this Christmas, is the first time that I received a diamond ring for my Christmas and birthday!! *Muaks baby*

I also experienced my first Christmas night spent in Zouk!

Somehow, this Christmas, made me realise how fortunate I am... am thankful for all my family and friends... for this season has brought me great joy...

I hope that the year ahead, I will always remember to count my blessings and be contented with all that I have...

Merry Christmas one and all... and a Happy New Year... :)

When I was young...

It's been a long time since I've had this much fun as I had tonight.

It wasn't wild wild, but it was the good company, plus the music over at Wala's...

Nothing beats spending sometime with people who enjoys music as much as you do... I've not done this for such a long time, that I almost forgot how it feels to lose yourself in the beat and the loud rhythm and tunes that fills your head and your soul. A drink or two to loosen yourself up... and you're on your way.

This sure reminds me of the days when I was younger... when I was able to let my hair down and enjoy myself. I know I should still be able to but somehow, I've haven't had the mood for the last few months.

All thanks to a dear friend Mark. Thanks dude! You've got great friends there... Also nice to have gotten to know Brandon who plays superbly well!! And also for the present which I've promised not to open till Christmas!

My present from Marky Boy...


Oh Yeah! Also appreciate the effort that you took to wrap my present so nicely! Truely!!!! :)
I can't remember when was it that a guy friend actually took the trouble to wrap a present so nicely for me! Hee...

Anyway, my day was made and you be sure that I'll be back for Unexpected soon!

The light in the darkness...

Candle Light...


Fiddled around with my camera today and discovered new features that I knew existed but did not know how to utilise. Like the picture taken above, I was delighted when it came out clear because I've attempted to take shots of night lights and candle light without flash and those shots always come out blurry due to the slow shutter speed.

I kinda like this photo... because it reminds me of how there is light in the darkness... and sometimes, the light is never just white... nor yellow... nor orange... Circumstances and situtaions around makes it colorful. It kinda reminds me to be optimistic about the position that I am placed in currently.

While things are slowly picking up, and I'm slowly adapting to the new circumstances in every aspect, I can't help but feel impatient sometimes that the situation would get itself over and done with, and I'm back to my old cheery, easy-going and light-hearted self.

As stated on my MSN nick currently, "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice", I can't help but think how difficult it is to make that choice and the follies that we make in that process. But I guess that's life... it's the roller-coaster rides that make us feel alive.

Well, wish me luck and strength and onward marching I go...

Optimism...

Is what I lack and is what I need...

Been feeling blue lately... Can't help feeling like a spoilt brate.

I know I need to persevere... I need to hang on and I need to go on...

Give me loads of encouragement please!
