The End.

Death of the velvet goose.
Death of what I could have been.
Death of me.

Just a mere shadow now.
Detached.
Unfeeling.

All that is left are fragments of a broken heart.
Without passion.
Without motivation.

Perhaps a grey goose will rise from the ashes.
Perhaps.

Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys,
With tears for us to mend.
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He was my friend.

But then instead of leaving Him,
In peace to work alone.
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,
How could you be so slow?
My child, He said,
What could I do? You never did let go.

Heavy hearted.

Too many things on my mind, which are all too mingled to sort them out. Heavy heart, with a tinge of pain.

Is this as good as it gets?

会变质的爱,还算是爱吗?
世界上是否真有不变质的爱?

不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经拥有。

有多少人能够真正的接受这番话?
有多少人能够无怨无悔的跟从这主义?


我有一份爱。
一份我想让它天长地久的爱。

我有一个他。
一个我想步下红毯的他。

问题是。。。
会变质的爱,还算是爱吗?

Ghost

Starting to lose sleep again, and of all times, it has to be a week away from the follow-up appointment at NUH.

The cycle started the night after I told Jessica babe about my probable decision regarding Flinders. She was pretty shocked and commented "But you've spent so long thinking about it!" That is the true fact of the matter. I have spent the past two years planning and looking upon the day to come, and just shortly before the final realisation of this "dream", I realised that it might not be what I've always thought it to be.

What a contradiction. A huge one, to top it off.


Hasn't have the time to calmly think about every factors surrounding this issues, and have yet to speak to Old Bean about it. Uncertain of his reaction to my decision, when he has already said that my main concern will be to deal with my studies, and everything else will be dealt with by him. He is truly the rock in my life. My Superman. Yet, will I have the heart to put him through another four years of financial strain? I'm finally working and being fully financial independent, and this has been a huge relief for myself. I'm sure it has been a relief in a way for him too. Adding to that, the imbecile of a brother who's living off the family and not feeling embarrassed or guilty about it. I doubt I will be as selfish. I have been, for way too long in the past, and I'm glad that it's finally out of my system. So why will I justify the attempt to get back into it?

I'm glad that I've been given the precious opportunity to head to Perth for a short period, and to see and understand that the world is as vast as we can ever imagine. I crave and lust for that opportunity again, but now just isn't the time. I've just been too stubborn to face it, must less admit it. All these changed when Hendrik came into the picture. He made me realised that some things just cannot be avoided by simply running away. And yes, I'm trying to find the courage and strength to admit and deal with things which I've been running away from for years.


Recently, the emotion of having to give up Flinders is starting to dawn upon my heart, and the aches of a broken heart is thumping endlessly. Tears have been shed and I was reminded of the time when I received the letter which told the fate of my unsuccessful admission for year 2008. The heartache I felt then seems to be back, although a little less forceful this time around. But still, a lost is a lost. Even if it comes from an impending one.

To be stubborn and to venture on, will be the ultimate selfish act, and the most irresponsible. It will mark who I want to be for the rest of my life. A woman who runs away at the sight of a problem. What kind of wife and mother will I be then? What kind of values will I instill in my future child? Before I can nurture someone, I will have to first nurture myself.

No longer the youth I once was, or even an young adult (shamelessly trying to hold on to that title will just be an immature act), I have to take into consideration the people around me. Only those who matters of course. Not every Tom, Dick or Harry, or May, Jean or Mary.


I fear the final realisation, and of the time when I have to admit that it has been a mistake which I have been chasing for so long. Maybe it isn't, maybe it is. I don't know. All I know is that I'm feeling lost, and feeling really vulnerable because of that. The wind has shifted and the tide has changed. Time for a new course. Being the captain of one's own vessel is indeed never easy. I can simply choose to indulge in the easy option of conforming to the norm, and leading a comfortable and acceptable life. But that will never rest well with myself. Deep inside, I need more than that to nourish my soul and being. Material is only as realistic and material as it can get, and I will not base that as the bottomline of my existence. It took a great turn in life for me to realise that, and I am never allowing myself to go back to that unhappy path again.

The most important goal now is to sort out those entanglements in me, and to seek a definite direction soon.


As much as that is my goal for now, one question lingers however.

Will opportunity knock twice?

I know not of, and I can think not of.

Dating Your Superior At Work 101

Rule Number 1 - Never let people have the basis to think that you're having it easy just because you're dating the superior.

NEVER.


Sure as hell isn't easy to draw the line at being civil towards each other, when all you want to do is to give him a hug so tight, you will squeeze the life out of him.

Damn it.

Back to Nature

Need to get back to being holistic again.

Sleep, fruits, vegetables, yoga, pilates, swimming, meditation, and writing.

Pretty unhappy with the nonsense that I'm turning into. Need more daylight.

*grumpy*
