2014
Last year was another fairly good year for me,
and I hope it’s the same for you or even better year!
Fortunate enough to travel to two
different countries in the year, to experience the different living pace and to
widen my own perspective about the world, human and life is always fulfilling.
To me travel may be a way of learning new things, and where new adventures
awaits as you may not know what exciting events waiting to be discovered. It is
also a journey of self-discovery for me, where sometimes I’m surprise of how
far I’m willing to venture out things if I really want to (within means of
course). Travelling with friends or colleagues is its own lesson itself, and
sometimes making it a much worthwhile adventure you will never forget.
Attended a close friend’s wedding
near the end of 2014. Witness a beautiful yet simple wedding reception both the
day and night event. And yes, we are at that stage, where most of our close
friends or acquaintances are all ready to tie the knot period. I’m sure many
has been the victim of the question, “When’s your turn?” every single time they
meet someone old, or often after a wedding season. It has definitely cross my
mind no doubt, but as to “when” – probably will say when the times come, you
will know? Not rushing and I will not want to put myself or my partner into
being “pressured” to do something just because we are at the right age or
because everyone is doing it. It shall be at our own term and will, to be
married or not shall not be the concern to others than the one maintaining the
relationship itself.
That aside, to flourish in
relationship shall take two parties’ effort because it is a two way street. Any
kind of relationship is based on trust and requires effort, cause nothing good
in life is free. And I have always been
very blessed to have met so many beautiful people with beautiful soul and to be
able to share similar qualities and grow into a decent person with each other,
to be by each other’s side to face the downs of life and always the one to be
excited with in the goods in life. I think friendship is something that I hold
very close to, besides family because in my opinion I feel that a friend gives
so much more and often underappreciated. Why? Family sticks by you, makes sense
because you’re blood related, and your spouse (partner) will have a legitimate
relationship with you to build a family, but a friend (from stranger to
becoming your friend) is someone with no blood relating stranger to you but can
become the closest extended family you could ever ask for – with no other
obligation/entitlement and yet they’re the one you could depend on when things
go sour (at home or out). I often feel that friendship is such an extraordinary
relationship, because you are not drive by (lust/love/greed/ feelings) but just
genuinely feeling of at ease and content to have such a friend by your side and
that someone you can bitch with without feeling guilty (because they don’t
judge you, and better they join in the bitchin).
But life goes on, and along the way
people tend to move towards their own direction, just be happy for them. Although
it may be saddening where you left things unsaid, but I believe if the time is right we may be
united again in a way or other – if not then I’m glad that I ‘ve get to know
you, and create some story-telling worthy journey together and hope that the
life ahead treats you well and beyond.
