Tracks to random balls for run,
so rain hearts’ just throw free bun.
Sky cycle three go hero,
give light to choice fish roe.
Blow a life to sing and see,
for a reason it snows mercy.
Fast fast fast fast fast fast fast,
slow slow quick light slow fast fast.
Splash he pull my hamburger tab,
must hear my pen and take a nap.

Her head’s in the clouds, they say
and two feet on the ground.
Impossible to stretch you think - not possible,
Impossible is nothing?
Challenge the conventional wisdom she must
She thinks she thinks out of the box; yet don’t ask her why she’s in it.
All the world’s a stage;
the only world she’s ever known was a playground without a cage.
‘Good day sir’ she welcomed onboard;
‘What’s so good about the day’ instead, he roared.
What’s the beep beep problem with you anyway;
In my world, everyday’s a good day!

Juz read a bulletin that’s titled “How to ask your crush out on a date”.. heh.. I read and read, then came this part:
“But if you break this chain no1 will like u or ask u again for 5 years!!!” I’m like, damn! kena chain letter! Then i thought.. hey that’s not such a bad thing after all.. haha. Remember the days when emails and such eBulletins are not so established yet.. chain letters came to me in the form of snail mails. And silly me then was so worried that bad luck will befall me for 10 solid years if I dun make 10 copies of the letter, that my one true love will not appear till i’m 50 if I dun make 20 copies, or my future hubby will be a pok-faced if I dun make 30 copies. I’ll actually make trips to the bookshop behind and make photocopies those damned letter and spend hours licking stamps and mailing the chain letters out. Those were the days! Now I actually wouldn’t mind no one asking me out for 5 years, i’m done with lickng stamps!
Pretty interesting day for me today.. started with the nomination in the morning- where PAP must have been like 3-400 strong and we were like only 10-20 ppl? hee.. Ultimately its the spirit that counts. But I really must say.. we’re really a very civilized nation! If this were indonesia, phillipines or taiwan, think i wouldnt dare entering the nomination room without taking up taekwondo lesson first ne! Or maybe stock up pepper spray in my bag.. keke. Tell you, in there were lotsa genuine smiles, hand shakes and sincere well-wishes. Fantastic, this is healthy competition! - which undeniably, is essential for a nation’s growth. I have never been politically aware in my 23 years of life, after all this is my first year if legal age to vote. But being somehow involved now, I dare comment - I actually like what the opposition is doing for us. They keep the ruling party on their toes, and vice vera.. ultimately its us the people that benefit from this all. For constituencies that are walk overs - well, I hope the people there get more choices in future elections! I realised discussing politics in a blog isn’t the most intellegent thing to do huh.. ok, time to pen off!
Tell u bout how I got match-made by my mom’s friends during lunch another time!

Yes cherry.. many ppl dun like rain as well. Guess yer one of the sunshine ppl! I’m pretty much the weirdo in this sense. Ooh an ex-colleague in Shanghai once told me that because I am born in the Wood element, I need the water element in my life.. haha! I wonder if its psychological, but I do feel energized when i have bodies of water around. Maybe that explains why I love sea sports and diving!
Anyways, I was enjoying a long bus ride this evening and I started thinking about this job offer I received recently. Offer’s really attractive, its a great opportunity.. BUT (yes there always is this irritatiing but huh! tell me about it) but the very perk of the job happens to also be the drawback. The company’s in a really far away land.. a place that I know no one, no place, i dun even speak their language! That excites me, to be honest. To immerse myself in a whole new environment, in a culture that’s so alien to me.. to meet my soulmates, to reunite with my comrades from heaven.. I can only say, i can’t wait!
So but why then does phyl say that its also a drawback? Well.. as much as that may be a fantastic opportunity, there are lots of opportunities here in Singapore as well. And talk about perfect timing, the opportunities just have to present themselves all at he same time! Not that i’m complaining.. it IS a blessing to have choices, rather than having no choice in life. But very recently, the surfacing of these chances just means clearer and greater opportunity costs when I choose one path from another. I’m refering to all the differnt aspects in life, not just career opportunities..
I ran into a secondary school friend- Bing Yan a week back and we spoke for quite awhile.. he asked about the countries i’ve visited when I was still flying with the airlines back then. Well..like many of u.. I enjoy travelling, i love seeing new places and people. And what better way to see the world than to be an aircrew.. to be paid while enjoy travelling. But to me, that wasn’t quite my idea of seeing places.. u see our tainer Ms Nguyan once mentioned that the way we travel.. its like a holiday “on installments”.. by that she meant that we only get to see alittle bit of the place each time we get there, due to time constraints. That’s fine by me.. but soon enough I realised that even by installment, we’ll never get to see the place in full. In full meaning we get to explore beyond the touristy spots, the surrounding towns and countries.. to get to know and live and eat and speak like the locals. to immerse ourselves in their culture. For that, we’ll need to live in that country for a couple of years to say the least. that’s why I resigned infact. And it became my resolution to really explore by living in those countries that interest me. I started with china, basically because the opportunity presented itself.. I do belive the big guy up there has reserved the best plans for me! *=) Next stop, paradise?
So back to my conversation with Bing Yan, he mentioned he knows a couple of ppl who are such free-spirits as well. These ppl do not get attached… they move from place to place every few years. Well, the world’s so so big.. there’re so many ppl and places to see, to know. And life’s so short? I dun wanna juz stay at a spot for the rest of my life ne.. Like this huge playground, I cant possibly be contented staying on the swing from birth to death? I wanna move around the playground and spot other fun things to play.. the see-saw maybe? or the merry-go-round? who knows which other friends i’ll meet there?
Is the grass really greener on the other side? Nope, not always. But says who i’m looking for greener grass? Good experience, bad experience, it’s still and experience right.. We wanna live life to the fullest, to make use of every moment.. Plan for the future yes, but enjoy the NOW moment too.. cuz that’s what we’ve been planning for in the past, tio bo?
Cliche but true: Life’s short, Play Hard!

I love it when it rains..! the scent of impending rain is the nicest perfume that can drench the air. To me, filling my lungs with one deep breath of that scent is therapy. Anytime, anywhere.. Haha.. u’ll think i’m crazy, but once the sky turn dark and gloomy.. we smell rain in the air, and the wind starts blowing.. i feel embraced by this loving energy that tells me everything’s gonna be ok, no.. infact, it tells me everything’s gonna be fantastic!
The thing about this scent.. when its about to rain or when we’re in the middle of a storm.. its so faint. that you can only really smell it if u take a deep abdominal breath, right into your lungs.. then u’ll get a tinge of it. But if u do.. its a pure therapeutic experience.

Mine has been a rather inspiring one.. My day started with the viewing of some Singapore-made short films. They were all pretty well done I must say, very insipiring indeed. They reminded me of how much I loved making short films, thinking of scripts and actually producing them. Has been my passion for the longest time.. until I did my internship with Leo Burnett in Shanghai was my passion swayed toward the creative industy in advertising.
For awhile I was torn between these two possible careers, I still am. Every now and then I find myself at crossroads, both leading to places I wanna go! But like i mentioned in an earlier entry, its either/or. No preview, no turning back, no regrets.. Bring it on babeh! Areeeba..! *=p Then I started thinking, does it really have to be either/or?? A dear friend once asked me, what makes someone like Napolean, Mozart or Donald Trump so different from.. him, for example. What sets us apart from them? Was it all written in our book of destiny? I guess not.. sometimes its not how good you are, but how good you wanna be. If I wanna give a shot in 2 or more industries, who is to say I can’t.. except myself? So i won’t say I can’t to me, that’ll be penalizing myself of that chance.
I have one shot, like everybody else.. so i’m gonna pluck myself out of this comfort zone and press forward. If I dun test my limits, I’ll never know what I’m capable (or not capable) of achieving.. woncha agree?
Ooh and I finally took my roller blades opposite my place for a roll! (first time i’m using it in 2 years) Was a painful arduous journey from my house to the beach sia! Though its only an underpass away! haha..
Yikes I better get back to work.. have got crazy deadlines to meet. Dun let my clients catch me blogging while i’m supposed to be on my projects! hee.. oh but hey, if yer a client and yer reading this..means yer probably a very close client. one that I treasure on a level of a close friend. Therefore i’m pretty sure u understand why I need to take time off for a breather! hee.. *=p

Hey folks! Was listening to a song recently called Someone. Really liked its lyrics. Hereby dedicated to y’all out there!
***********************************************************
My hair was long and shiny.. you said you can’t believe…
how could i walk out that door, or walk along the streets…
you told me i should, you know, do some bing bang curly wirly afro thing..
i took your word and did… looked in my mirror, “who’s that freak?”
Why does the world deceive?
Why do I make believe?
took my heel and made Achilles out of me…
still i would want to be
Someone who’d answer to me.
Someone who sees like a child, gives like a saint,
feels like an angel—never mind the broken wings,
and speaks like a picture, cries like the rain, shines like a star,
as long as the fire remains.
***********************************************************
Me, I’m not even close to that ‘Someone’ in the song, but that’s not gonna be an excuse to not work towards that!

He told me Destiny’s defined as the thing you are meant to do, and what you must do, in order to be happy. Yet to me, happiness is a state of mind.. one can be happy anytime, anywhere, regardless what one’s doing in life. Nothing in this metaphysical world can rule our emotions, but ourselves.
Like current in the ocean, beings trapped within will be swept along if it doesn’t will against it. He said with enuf determination, we can steer off course and eventually reach the destination we want.. even if its not written on our palms. So ’someone’ wrote the script for our lives, we think we’re puppets just living through the predestined path. But its all ruled by cause and effect, what goes around comes around, karma. We determine the cause in our actions, then we live in its effect, doesn’t that make us our own script writer? hm…
So what do you wanna do with your life? Are you 15 now? 25? 40? 60? You still have many years of strong life ahead, have you achieved what you’ve set out to do? Will you be contented if you were to leave now? One life, one path, no preview of what the future will be like IF say you choose one path over another. What will you do?
She said: Know your destiny, know what you wanna do. Focus and don’t get distracted.. you won’t go wrong. No regrets.. you’ll see.
A friend said something that day that got me thinking..
“IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS, OR TO DO THINGS RIGHT?”
(i bet on the latter)
