Yes, I'm going home. Going home alone.

...And your life goes on At the risk of sounding melancholic...yes I am feeling a little blue here and there. But nothing enough to make me throw the towel and call it a day. It's not an easy ride and I knew it wouldn't. Just that I didn't know it's going to be THAT hard. Still...what's worth having is worth the effort. People just want things that doesn't come easily and that makes it all desireable. "all these has not changed my feelings for you. In fact, I really like you and very much want to keep on seeing you. You are a rare find and I am not letting go so easily. You don't have to say anything and you don't have believe me but time will tell. I will prove it to you"

If you think about it from a bad light

There are sure to be things that you will bother you so I had the conversation whereby it went like some things are nice but the things that are not so nice is usually the more interesting or shall I say get picked on. It's very much a matter of if you can live with it or it being a deal breaker and a no no in a relationship. Then the right attitude would be to focus on the bigger picture - why you like that person at the first place. All said and done, is he worth the trouble (yes, I use the word trouble because it's never and not going to be a smooth joyride all the way)? These are the questions that I asked myself and I found myself being petty and getting all tangled up with the details and the little things. But of course there are bigger things as well which I am keeping it on the back of my mind. Many which only time can tell and something that again will build on over time and experience with one another. I am however not making any rash decisions as yet - this is very ...

Is it even safe?

's wonderful! 's marvelous! You should care for me! It wasn't too long ago that I was shitting myself silly worrying (and also rejoicing) over the fact that everything is sooooo good. There's just no drama, no games, not much speculation and everything just falls into place nicely. And I told myself, this can't be right and I cannot be too happy. After all, the ancient myths have it that mortals such as us shouldn't be overtly happy or else the gods will angry. Granted those were the days when gods have nothing better to do than messing with the lives of the simple mortals. I bet everyone would have better lives if they just sacrificed iPads to the bored gods instead of cows. I mean what do you do with a cow? But coming back to me, I am learning to let myself go and accept the fact that the impossible can happen and to really cherish every little moment. I guess it's easier to do it now seeing that this is only the beginning and things usually starts off bei...

Taking it easy

Image
It's not easy for me to take things easy. Yes, me the person who constantly rush through deadlines (yes, your work was due yesterday) with precise timing and budget for delivery has to take a seat. Not just any seat but the backseat and then learn how to take off all the hats that I have learnt to wear over the years, stripping off one layer by one layer and truly understand the meaning of going with the flow and chilling aka taking it easy. Sometimes when it comes to the matter of the heart and when it involves another person, it's not as clear cut as I-want-it-now-and-I-want-it-this-way. I have to say that this has so far fast becoming the greatest lesson that I will ever learn. I know that at work, my low tolerance for shit has gotten me in small troubles here and there before and I am glad to say that I have mellowed down slightly over the years but this is my biggest challenge yet. But it's not too bad, when you actually stop, you have time to breath and look at things...

Restrain is a virtue

I think a lot of times esp when it comes to dealing with things in my life, it has always been instant, now now and come right this second. I suppose part of the reason being we live in a I-want-it-now world/fast food generation that any form of delayed gratification is considered a waste of time. And to be fair, in a fast moving world today, one would not expect to wait and who knows what will happen tomorrow. Who knows if there will be a tomorrow, tomorrow. This and also been reading up on some blogs and some people commented on how they would speed up on their relationship or dating, jump into the sack on their first date and so on. I am not saying that doing all that would run into the risk of a fast in and fast out relationship but rather made me questioned how did it work out for some and not for others. I do know of people who don't really have so called rules but stayed on in a relationship and are still in that relationship. In the world where this morning's news are ...

Reflection me not

Image
I should know. Of all people in the world I would be the least or last to reflect back on things. I know, things move so fast that you just don't have time or could be bothered. Yes, from time to time though I will look back into certain subjects and usually about days gone by. This subject is quite apt seeing that I have bounced back from death so to speak via my blog and I don't know what made me bring it back to life. Could be something that is happening with my life or I am at crossroads. Or just maybe that I am getting old but who knows. The last 3 years have been a blast while I have been missing from my blog. Lots of fun, ups and downs but overall it was good. Looking back, I am not the same person and the Internet itself is not the same anymore. There is something called Facebook and Tweeter and suddenly blog seems so yesterday. At least mine has no significant contribution to the world, so why am I wasting disk space somewhere far far away, tucked inside a server locat...

So I am back

I have no idea what inspired me to make a comeback. Looking back at all the old post. My my my my.....It's been awhile isn't it? Good news is that I can still use the same old template for now. After all Christmas and New Year is coming soon.
