Losing sight

Before I write anything that is going on in my life, I would like to offer my condolences to the earthquake in China. The pictures and the news are heart wrenching. I would also like to offer any type of help. Be it financially or emotionally. My prayers and thoughts are with those who are injured and those who have lost someone and not forgetting those who are still waiting for news of their family or friends.

When disasters like this happens, I am always grateful.

Grateful that I am in a peaceful country where the worst weather is strong winds and heavy rains.
Grateful that my family and friends are safe.
Grateful that I have a job.
Grateful that I have my health.
Grateful that the crime rates are quite low.
Grateful that I am still here.

Sometimes we get reminders.

Reminders that makes us realize that we are losing sight of what is the most important things to us.

We are always so busy rushing here and there that often that we don't even have the time to think what is our dreams and goals in the first place.

We forgot that there are bigger things than us.

We forgot that there are more important things that what we want.

We focus too much on material things and being satisfied materially.

We forgot to tell the people who are important to us that we love them very much.

Things can change in a second.

We are often too busy to stop and think whether the things that we are doing are actually bringing us another step closer to our goals and whether our goals are appropriate in the first place.

Slow down. Take some time to think where are we now. Where we wanna be?

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
