你永远无法叫醒装睡的人

Mid year overview

Time flies. Really flies. It is already mid of 2015. I am stepping into my 33rd birthday soon. Sigh...

When I look around me, it seems that nothing has changed much yet everything has changed. 

Friends

I guess over the years I have kinda accepted the fact that there are some people in our life whom we are destined to keep as friends for life and some whom will be there for us only during that period of time. Just like people from my school days. Primary School, Secondary School, JC, Poly and Uni... I am keeping in touch with some of them every now and then. There are some whom I will love to keep as friends for life but sometimes somethings are just not meant to be... Kinda sad but that is how it works I guess. It is also kinda surprising for me to gain a friendship from someone I had not really expect from. So I guess what they say is true. "In Life, you win some, you lose some."

Career

Nay... still not moving at all. I have not had the golden handshake from my boss yet. So disappointing. I heard about the new organisation change and I am not sure if it is for good. The problem with the company is that they have organisation changes so often that I am kinda numb about it. I am still looking forward to the golden handshake. Until then, I think I can only stay put in the company bah...

Family

Maybe it is because I am growing older and so are my parents. I dread to imagine losing my parents one day. I can already foresee that it will be very hard for me to take it when that day really come. I cannot delude myself telling myself that that day will never come because 生老病死 is a natural occurrence of life. So I try to make myself to visit my parents at least once a week. That is the least I can do. The biggest irony is I probably spend more time with my parents in the recent years after I moved out than when I was staying with them.  

Round and round

Yes. I am still going round and round in the merry go round. There don't seem to be any way for me to get out of it yet. I am not sure if I want to too. Sigh... Let's just make the best out of it bah... 

I can't think of anything else to say for the time being... Till my muse is back again then~

Rest In Peace Mr. Lee Kuan Yew

Today is the day that Mr. Lee Kuan Yew has finally laid in peace. 

It is a great loss to Singapore. Without him, Singapore will not be what it is now. Which is why I have great respect for him, even though I have to admit, I do not agree to all the policies he had set. He had helped to build a Singapore that is like no other country. 

I once told a colleague from India that there is no way I will trade the safety and security of Singapore for another country. Singapore is probably the only country that I know, where I will dare to walk in the streets at 3am in the morning and not fear for my safety. Singapore gives me a sense of security that no other place can provide. If ever I am to go to another country to live in, it will only be temporary. For an experience. No matter what happens, Singapore will always be my home. I dare to say he made us all proud to be Singaporeans. 

I was telling my colleagues this afternoon that actually we are quite fortunate. We lived in an era where we are able to witness at first hand, personally, how he brought Singapore to what it is now. The generations after us will only be able to hear of his legacy like hearing a bedtime story. They will never have the chance to experience the changes he had brought about to Singapore which brought Singapore to great heights. 

I saw this drawing by Eva Comics. Thought it is really nice. 

Rest in peace Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. I hope you will go to a better place where there is no pain and suffering and join your wife whom you loved so dearly. 

麻木

有时候只是觉得有一点麻木了。。。

合欢山

Almost froze myself to death just to see the sunrise on 合欢山. Amazing view and we were lucky to enjoy good weather that morning. Too bad it did not snow... Probably won't return to the place anytime soon because I don't feel that well at such high altitude. 😫

初恋

We went and caught a movie, 极光之爱, while we were in Taipei for holidays. This particular phrase caught my attention.

初恋的存在是为了遗憾 - 极光之爱

There is a certain component of the phrase that is quite true...
