新年

Now Playing - 手掌心 by Della丁噹 (兰陵王 Ending OST)

新年來了! In a blink of an eye, another year had passed. Getting older day by day had made me realised that time is precious. So what have I been doing during the first day of the lunar new year? Celebrating with my family and friends! My father bought a pot of 盆菜 and one plate of 鱼生 to celebrate. It was from Lingzhi restaurant and wasn't cheap at all, about $200+. Guess what though, it's all vegetarian! Damn sedap la, well of course it is since it cost so much.

 盆菜 100% vegetarian.

100% vegetarian, looks cool eh.

Somehow the money was well spent, since we can get together and celebrate the festive season together. Times flies, even my nephew is 7 years old now and already in Primary 1. Gosh, I am really getting old now haha. What does that mean though? Time to grow up I guess. Starting saving up now for a family in the future. I will try to not be a spendthrift anymore, unless I strike toto haha. My millionaire dream still applies, though I had a big hole in my pocket now. The hole will be bigger after my braces, and speaking of braces, I kept delaying it omgosh. It's going into my teeth after CNY no matter what! No more reason to postpone it. 

Naughty Marvin trying to keep his cool with my cousin kidnapping him.

Cheeky little monster.

I did took a few photos with the help of my sister. Damn those sunburns around my eyes, got them for some stupid parade rehearsals. I'm already quite dark with all the swimming but it's much worse now lol. I think I will be able to blend in the dark sooner or later if  this keeps up. One of my colleague even said that I no
沖涼.

Finally, my Lunar New Year resolution is to get fitter so that I will be able to look better I guess? And well save up more money for Lasik to get rid of my glasses. Oh, and to be more careful when driving now! With this, I'll end this post with a 新年快乐!

Downturn Luck

Now Playing - 穩穩的幸福 by 陳奕迅 

A new year it may be, a troubled soul it may seemed. 

I had hoped that 2014 will be a good year, but it seems pretty bad so far. Not a pessimist usually, but seriously so many bad things happened in the short span of 4 weeks. Dropped camera, car crash, getting sick again and arrowed for some COC parade again. Crushed a lizard accidentally, knee problems, when will good things start to roll into my life again?

Am I born unlucky or something? I think i need lots of lucky clover to neutralize my bad luck. Still it ain't gonna bring me down, just gotta keep moving. Bring it on bad luck.

Heart Pain

Now Playing - Broken Hearted by Karmin

Argh, what an unfortunate sight! My car kissed the wall when I tried to make a u-turn at a tight corner at Marina Square's carpark yesterday. Waited for almost 40 minutes and still no parking lot. Sheer anger got the better of me and the reward for being reckless is this, 1 big dent on my front bumper even though it's only a slight touch against the wall.

Called a workshop and they quoted me $50 for dent fixture and $80 for spraying half of my bumper, which totaled up to $130. Oh well, a lesson learnt, don't get anger get over your head and be more careful in the future ):

Thunder

Now Playing - Thunder by Jessie J

“Shrouded in the black thunderheads the distant lightning glowed mutely like welding seen through foundry smoke. As if repairs were under way at some flawed place n the iron dark of the world” 

Thunder is the epitome of fear for most children. When I was young, I would cower in fear whenever there's a thunderstorm approaching. I had enough though, determined to face it like a real man (or boy). With half of my heart filled with determination and the other half filled with doubt, I stood before the upcoming storm, like a brave warrior defying the rulers of heaven. 

Bang, the sky roared like a majestic lion. I started to regret my decision and wanted to back out. A part of me pulled me back while another part of me tried to get me to safety. It was a battle within me, a clash of titans ... in me. However, as the thunder goes on and on, I got more accustomed to the sound. The storm had finally stopped. It was all over, I had won. I had successfully reigned my fear. It feels good, to be able to conquer one of my greatest fear and not succumb into darkness. This is the first step of getting out of my comfort zone and starting exploring. 

As I grew older, getting out of the comfort zone was too bothersome. I started to get lazier and take things for granted. Fast forward till this day, I have been nuaing for too long, leading a monotonous life. No more of this bullshit though, since I've pledged to get rid of bad habits and explore more of what is outside of my comfort zone. Getting braces, butterfly style in swimming and learning basic piano is what is on my mind right now for the year. I'm sure it will yield sweet results. 

Some things are better left untouched for the moment, I'm sure things will get going after awhile. I have this bad habit of thinking too much which led to complicating myself in a lot of situation where I have no clue what's right and what's wrong. 

Some of which happen is the incident whereby I had forgotten to setup tables for one of the supervisor of the other sub department when I had promised him to. I had to attend some important matters that day which led to me forgetting all about it and I kind of feel bad of myself. Even though he's not really angry, I'm not sure how to face him in the future though. I'm sure I'm thinking too much. There's also another incident in which I've found a gem behind my secondary school. Thinking there's more underneath, I started digging and to my dismay there's nothing there. By then, I was way too deep in the hole and it was so so difficult to get out. I was covered in dirt and got scoldings from supervisors. I should not have think so much and just walk away in the first place.

So, it's a new year. Time to think simple and start in small steps for my conquest whereby I will expand my comfort zone by trying out more new stuff. I hope it will be a fruitful year for me, don't think so much and stay awesome as always.

Thunder

I'm a red and fragile rose
Won't grow in the dark alone
Take me there cause I need to find the light

I hate that I'm scared of this
But you believe so I'll take the risk
Hold me and tell me I'm alright

Now I'm falling down
You lift me up to the clouds
Yes, I'm falling down
You lift me up Yea!

You make my hands shake
I watch the glass break
Around my guarded heart tonight
This ain't no mistake
You make my earth quake
You feel like thunder in the sky
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh)
Thunder, thunder, thunder
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh oh oh)
You feel like thunder in the sky

Broke free, saw an open road
Footsteps lead me to your soul
Now I run with a home to go to

Never thought I'd be this happy
If you asking yes you have me
How you change my thoughts, you'll never know

So when you're falling down
I'll lift you up to the clouds
Yes, when you're falling down
I'll lift you up yea!

You make my hands shake
I watch the glass break
Around my guarded heart tonight
This ain't no mistake
You make my earth quake
You feel like thunder in the sky
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh)
Thunder, thunder, thunder
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh oh oh)
You feel like thunder in the sky

I was broken and starting to think that I'm should be ashamed
Trebling and nervous and naked feeling afraid
Then you came and told me and showed to fight through the rain
Fight through the rain, to fight through the rain
Yea yea yea

You make my hands shake
I watch the glass break
Around my guarded heart tonight
This ain't no mistake
You make my earth quake
You feel like thunder in the sky
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh)
Thunder, thunder, thunder
Like thunder, thunder, thunder (oh oh oh oh)
You feel like thunder in the sky
