It's Saturday, 13th Feb 2010, my 33rd Chinese New Year's eve.
Chinese New Year is the biggest celebrations of the Chinese community in everywhere of the world, as long as Chinese people can be found. Everyone is rushing here and there to buy staff for their home, getting new clothes done, trying out new shoes, cleaning their houses... So much so to be done, and the spirit of the celebrations is at its peak.
I will always look forward for Chinese New Year's celebrations, this is the time we need no other reasons to be with our family... spending time with each other and even just being at home with everyone around, not going anywhere can feel oh-so-right. This time of the year, my Mommy will definitely be the busiest at home, cleaning, cooking, preparing, washing... so much for Mommy to do... everyone will be home for the reunion dinner tonight, those overseas, those work far away... the feeling of anticipating tonight's dinner is so good... knowing that we will soon meet up with cousins that we haven't seen for a long time, uncles and aunties that we have missed.
After the dinner tonight, we will have our private fire-crackers & fire-works show in the compound outside my uncle's house in Seria. Everyone will be excited, waiting for my brother Nam & cousin Hung to get things ready and all the bad luck and negative energy that came with us since the year before will be blew up high in the sky and explode together with the fire works... shatter into tiny little sparks that light up the night sky, then disappear into thin air... we'll start a new year with all positive and auspicious energy...!
This year, the year of Tiger. According to the Chinese horoscope, this will be a busy year for me, lots of new area to be explored in work, and lots of new responsibility which will better my experience. And in love life, married couple will enjoy abundance romance and sweet time together... but even without this saying, I know that Honey and I have always been a couple that envied by lots of people... :) Health wise, this year need to watch out of all the frequent dine-out and indigestion... go slow, lite and go-green will be the strategies for now :) Being a Snake, Tiger year definitely bring me more power to fly higher! This year, I have set myself certain target at work that I will achieve, like I always say, nothing is impossible! Even it is something new to do, I learn as a I go... these experiences are something that no one can take away from me.
Allow me to quote a sentence that I read from the book titled "Shame" by Jasvinder Sanghera lately, "Speak what you want because once you've sown that seed you can work towards it". One must always have dreams to work on, dream is something that will keeps us moving on... a person without dreams it's like a spirit stuck in a zombie body. I know that my dream of being successful is taking me step-by-step closer to it, I want it and I will get it.
A New Year, a new me... I wanted only the best to happen to myself and I choose to live my life this positive way. May the energy of heaven and earth empowered me to complete this year of Tiger with lots of determinations and strong wills, to make all this possible!

If today is the end of the world...
Lately, the movie '2012' has become a great hit among our friends, everyone is talking about how great and how breath-taking each catastrophe scene in the movie is.
I went to watch the movie last night, truly it is one of the movies that you don’t want to missed. The special effects and technology arrangements of the movies are great, but I find it not ‘deep’ enough, deep as in the feelings and emotions of each characters, it couldn’t impact too much on me, and it is the END OF THE WORLD that we are talking about here! Unlike the late 1990’s classics – TITANIC, with only an event that happened within one night, it makes me remember for life, and mind you, TITANIC is a movie that I’ve watched 17 times, and still find it captivating…
According to the ancient prophecy by Michel Nostradamus, December 20, 2012 will be end of the world. What is the first thing that come to your mind when a person mention to you 'end of the world'? Most of us will think of something very physical - the pain that we have to go through, the blood that we will shed. What about feelings? What about emotions? And what about spiritual?
If today is the end of the world, what do you want to do? Do you still want to go on chasing the dreams – money & fame that you have been chasing all these years? Do you still want to go on delaying telling that special someone you love him/her, thinking that you’ll still have a chance to do so tomorrow? Or do you still want to go on telling your parents that you do not have time to have a meal with them, because of the never-finish deadlines and works?
I am not trying to make you pessimistic about the future or trying to send out negative energy that will make you worried or panic. You and me, everyone in this world, we have always been taking life for granted, thinking that we’ll have chance to do what we always wanted to do tomorrow hence keep procrastinating some events in life that we will regret forever if tomorrow never comes. Life is short, why live it with regrets?
Come on, people… End of the world might or might not come, but why wait till then to treasure those we love? Tell them now, and show them now, how much they mean to you… Like I said, life is short, live life to its fullness, even if today is really the end of the world, your family, spouse or that special someone knows that you love them dearly, there’ll be nothing for them to regret living this life with you… Don’t you think so?

生活
最近有點累, 是那忙碌的生活節奏吧!
真希望有時間能停下來好好的欣賞身邊的風景. 好好的用心去聽完那首未完的歌.
終於望到了... 終於我得拿假期, 遠離工作, 把壓力暫時放下, 全心全意的讓心身休息... 可悲的是, 我所要拿的是十天的病假. 不到病了也不願意停下腳步, 生活真的那麼委曲嗎?? 事實非也, 只是自己一直不願放慢腳步, 害怕緩慢的腳步會令自己錯失了最精彩的.
最精彩的往往就只有曇花一現, 為了這一分追尋的榮耀, 身心, 精神也透支了.
這一趟被逼住院檢查及進行一項小手術, 我看也該趁著這時候好好的休息一會兒. 歇一歇只為了往後要走更遠, 更長的路程.

People come, people go.
I do not know where it begun, and I do not know how it begun...
You came into my life by surprise, you held my hands and became my friend.
So much precious memories we had shared, but now leaving me feeling all the pain...
You left me quietly, make me wondering what is the meaning of friend?
I could never understand, the true feeling in your heart...
For you've never open up yourself, talk to me like someone you can trust.
I have no holding back and given you, all my true self and my heart...
For I've always believed friendship is all about sincerity and trust.
I shall forget all the memories, move on to another page of my life,
To help myself start anew, I know I have to walk away.
People come, people go... Only time will tell when the another you will come into my life,
If there is no trust in our friendship, tell me what is the point to stay?
I wish your journey of life - happy, success and smooth without me,
Hope that your love ones will always be with you,
One night, if you look upon the stars and think of me,
Please remember that, once in your life time there were you and me...

Some Thoughts, Any Thoughts
Notice:
Tonight, no matter how hard I try, I just can't close my eyes, guess I've too much caffiene earlier. As I was looking through the documents in the PC just now, I found this article of which I wrote exactly 1 year ago in Dome Cafe. The cafe is gone now, but I am surprise and thrilled to find that, I still feel the same way I did one year ago about my work... The positive energy never goes away... The more I am stretched, the further I can go... :)
==================================================
It is Sunday again, 5th August 2007.
Hubby is working at The Mall, Gadong, for a Travel Fair organized by the Tourism Board of Brunei Government. I’ve been spending too much time alone, since yesterday. It is 5.15pm now, and I am still waiting for hubby in Dome Café, he hasn’t finished his duty yet, he is manning the booth and attending to customers, must be tiring and exhausting.
It has been quite sometimes since I last manned a booth during the time in CHC. It was never a good experience, visitors to the booth would expect I know everything about Canada and provide them with the finest answer possible. As the matter of fact, I should, but somehow, never would I have any interest to read more about this country. It isn’t that I dislike Canada, but I was “terribly pissed” by someone in the HC, which made me giving up trying on anything in CHC. Ah, forget about it! I am not going round the world to bring the story to you here! Haha! What is gone is gone! May those ‘bad memories’ stop haunting me again.
Gadong is considering the busiest place in BSB, as usual, it was packed of curious visitors to The Mall today. I made more than 10 turns and took me more than 30 minutes to found a parking, so you should know how crowded the situation is! Out of the cafés in The Mall, Dome is my favorite, despite the fact that the drinks and more expensive than usual and the air-conditioning seems never working, the environment here is quiet and peaceful. I might be loud and talkative, but whenever I am alone, I love to enjoy the tranquil of the air, no one to make too much noise to make me headache. It is always nice to be alone sometimes.
One might think that I am an introvert. But as the matter of fact, I love being with people, is just that the other side of me yearn to have some peacefulness whenever I am alone. I guess any busy working individuals will have this kind of feeling. After a whole week of hustling life, weekend is good to spend quietly in order to rejuvenate our energies! ‘
I am expecting for a busy week starting tomorrow, those meetings and trainings are lining up waiting for me. I managed to postpone 2 trainings until September, so at least I have 2 extra days which I can concentrate on my SOP. It is a scary thing to start another new month by seeing your SOP starts at -15 again… haha! But sometimes I think that it is actually quite fun. The more we do, the more the target get increased, the harder I would work to achieve it, if not because of this stretching way of work environment, I would never know how far I could go…
