Hello 2017!            
                                                                                             
Taking the time to pen (more like type) down and wrap up my 2016.
It is never easy to start something, especially the opening to a blog posts (LOL!) But nevertheless, I shall start somewhere.

My favorite quotes of the year goes to “It always seems impossible until it’s done” Nelson Mandela.

So in early 2016, I actually decided to sign up and learn scuba diving! Very fortunate to meet the lovely instructor Kimmy and my fellow course mates. Thanks to Yvonne whom actually asked if I’m interested, without any thought I just said “yes” and I dint regret my yes. My first pool class experience wasn’t that great, because it was the time of the month and it wasn’t very comfortable for me personally. Ended up I had to do another class, in order to qualify and ready for the open sea class – and yes I passed it with flying colors! And the rest is history.

First experience to dive in the open sea was … no doubt nerve wrecking, I have so many thoughts running through my head, a lot of what ifs, and what’s going to happen and etc. But as soon as I got used to the water, the waves and the breathing – it all just falls into place. Especially when I see the fishes! Like OMG!! Of course I can’t scream under water, but was screaming in my mind like 2 years old who’s so excited to do something new for the first time.

I did multiple dives throughout the year. And I did not join my course mate when they continued the advance class, as the timing wasn’t so right for me. But I shall make it happen in due time.

I also went for my first 法會 in Taiwan. It allows me to meet so many great and kind dharma brothers and sisters. And my mou-liu group was formed. * haha it was definitely a great experience, for me spiritually and also mentally. And we got to do some sightseeing and walked around Alishan.

Then I had the change to visit Shanghai thanks to my ever generous company trip. I’ve been there once, long time ago when I was in F3 if I’m not mistaken. The only thing I remember from then was, we visited the Shanghai ocean aquarium where I saw penguin for the first time and rode on the boat for the sightseeing at the bund! That was so long ago. But the itinerary was different this time, short but good trip. Went up to the Oriental Pearl Tower and braved myself to stand on the transparent observatory deck – it wasn’t as high as Burj Khalifa but this time it’s TRANSPARENT!! Damn I was scared as F! But still did it anyway, despite the wind and coldness brrr.

Then I was in Vietnam again, with my travel clique and it’s all about the FOOD lol. Then I went to Singapore to meet my baobei, and also to attend the pottery class I registered to. It was a 3 hr class at a home studio; the host did an introductory to how they started their journey and taught us the basics and let us tried on the wheeler. So exciting, and I quite enjoy the wheeler and I’m glad that my bf enjoyed it as much as I did.

Passed 3 out of 6 ANZIIF paper, so 3 more to go. Handed over company sports club to the new committee, so no more supervising or planning for the next 2 years hooray! 

All in all, 2016 was also a good year! Will continue to make the years ahead great, and hopefully the same goes to everyone :)

May the new years of roosters brings prosperity to you and everyone around you with abundance of new opportunity, challenges, success and also the agility and determination to conquer it. 

XOXO

1.Dec

Writing at least a post before the end of current year or the beginning of the new year seems to be a ritual for myself. Instead of journal, I opted to utilize this blog. It is almost the end of 2015, how has the year been to you?

Highlights of 2015:

I would say I'm content, with all that I have and had. May we all be blessed with the strength to persevere and strive to be a better version of our yesterday. Looking forward to 2016!

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.

»International Happiness Day
Thursday, March 20, 2014



Today is International Day of Happiness, here to wish everyone to have a BRIGHT & HAPPY day + definitely year ahead!

Have you ever thought to yourself “What makes me Happy?” – Well yes I do!
I’m trying to recall the time when is the moment in my life that I’m genuinely happy, and to be honest I kinda choked!

That’s the thing, in my opinion precious moment does stay in your mind… for a while. Unless it’s something extravaganza that stitched in and being reminded every second of your waking moment, I would think they tend to fade fairly quickly. And to think that nowadays, people are more concern on capturing these “special moments” in their hi-tech gadgets than to experience the whole genuine sentiments that is impossible to re-live. Don’t get me wrong, i was one of the “people” mentioned too, and then I realized that actual and true moment should be felt and emphasized. Oh yes you can captured tons of the best photo of the night, but will you be able to captured how you felt at that exact moment and re-feel how you felt? No I don’t think so.
Point being made, its entirely your free choice but bear in mind that you won’t be able to capture or live that passed moment “again”, make it all count!  ;)

Whether it’s a once in a lifetime event like the weddings, graduation or even everyday kind of moment, lunches with your buddy, gathering, be engage in it and look them in the eye and hear what they are telling you. They made the choice to be and share their precious time with you; everyone’s time is as precious as they last.


Okay now, think happy thoughts and dance to the "Happy" tune!

*24
*Graduated
*Employed (technically)

I feel:

# Blessed
# HAPPY
# Thrilled
# Content
# Uncertain


I take this opportunity to thank my beloved family and friends for being there to celebrate another year of joyful moment. Birthdays make relationship grows fonder and closer, and to me I love receiving birthday Cards the most. Its the only time of the year (maybe one of the many time) that you would know how you've affected people's life, or how they thought of you and what they wanted to say to you when they wouldn't normally. I always say and will tell them that i feel really blessed and honored to have them in my life, which is from the bottom of my heart. Because i know with no doubt that i have made a lifelong friends along the course of 24 years of journey, and i really hold each and everyone of them close to my heart although we may not be around each other as often we'd like to but i know when the time we finally get together it will be just as awesome as it shall be. 

For the rest of the years to come, i still wish for the good & nothing but the best for all of you for your future endeavor and may we be the friends like a family till we're old and grey.
