Give thanks

Random note I scribbled during my trip in nias...

LOLOLOL - #foreveralone

joy at work

they have the ability to take away all your worries/ troubles with their super bright and cherry smiles. and i always end up smiling stupidly to myself whenever i look through their photos. (:

coming to my fourth year and i'm starting to feel a bit wearily. not a good sign i know. but anyhow, i will still preserve on and give my very best. JIA YOU CHLOE.

crayon melt - rainbow

happened to chance upon this video while looking for ideas for anniversary gift and i decided to try it out! 

it pretty easy to do, you just need to stick the crayons with hot glue on to your canvas and let it melt using hair dryer.

took me an hour to complete this. actually you can finish it in half an hour? an hour for me because i was 'multi - tasking" while doing it.

end product!

and i attempted to create rainbows today using crayon! 

6 months.

What will you do if someone tells you that you have six month left to live?

Another friend's father is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and the doctor told him straight to his face that he has 6 months left. Wow. How easy it is for the doctor to say it out without thinking how this news might affect the patient. It's definitely going to be a big blow for the parties involved.

"be kind to everyone you meet because they might be fighting a battle."

And sometimes it's sad that we need a stranger to tell us how much time we have left before we truly treasure our life and the people around us.

You know as you grow older, you realised that what's most important is not money but health and of course your family. No matter how rich you are, at the end of the day if your health fails you, that's it. And I start to wonder again why are we working so hard and ended up neglecting so many things/ people and ourself.

One of my client's mother told me today you can die but never fall sick in Singapore. And this is not the first time I'm hearing this, in fact I heard this twice within 2 weeks? The gov seriously need to do something about those costly medical bills....

another random update

back in sunny island for almost 2 weeks now and slowly getting back to my boring routine; work and more work. just like that 2 months gone, time flies in the scariest manner. i was quite shock to find that my favourite stall at the coffeeshop near my work place disappeared and they even renovated the whole place! whaat. it's only 2 months!

i'm not exactly home sick when i'm there, i guess partly because i gotten used to being and staying alone. it was fun just spending time with myself and hanging out with random strangers. i gotten more independent and am totally fine with going around anywhere by myself. in fact i actually prefer to travel around alone. can i start planning for another trip? maybe an even longer duration this time. i wish i dont have to worrrkkk and just travel around. :x trust me, it's good to be away sometimes especially when you have too many things going on in your life. but i got a little tired after my indonesia trip, i guess all those packing and unpacking has taken a toll on me.

my favourite comment when my friends/ colleagues/ relatives saw me after two months "eh you slim down ah?" hahaha! dearest weight please do not pile up again when im back to singapore.

and my most sian comment "you look darker!" i know i know. need to get rid of my ugly t-shirt and shorts tan, not forgetting those freckles on my faceeeeeee! introduce me good whitening products please! :(

work is piling up as usual, with my major event coming up next month. friends are asking me about my plan next and trust me i have absolutely no idea what i wanna do next. i thought that by going away i might be clearer about what i want but no it didnt turn out that way. dont rush me. give me more time to figure it out myself. (:

self made games

spent 1 week plus at a orphanage during my stay in nias and i noticed this one of their favourite game, using their legs to create huddles for their friends to jump over. sometimes they even used hands to make it more difficult. those kids are really good jumpers and they were really having fun and laughing non stop. 

they taught me that you dont need expensive toys to have fun and it's possible to have fun without any anything!

it starts me thinking why are we always working so hard, spending all our moneys on luxury items and yet we are never happy? 

Count your blessings

A timely reminder while shopping today. I don't shop blindly, I learn and shop.

With all these negative news that I'm hearing everyday, I should seriously count my blessings. I hope and pray hard that things will get better for everyone who is having a hard time now.

"be strong now because things will get better. It might be storm now, but it doesn't rain forever."
