Simple Thoughts.... Complex Thinking..... In Search For An Answer

~* Saturday, February 26, 2011 *~

 
Antisocial personality disorder is a psychiatric condition that causes an ongoing pattern of manipulating others and violating their rights. People with this disorder do not follow society’s norms and often break the law. It is characteristic for people with this diagnosis to be entirely careless about other people's feelings and pain, and to show a pervasive pattern of no remorse together with irresponsible decisions.

Sooo it's a real disease.. I thot it's just a stereotype.. I learn something new everyday.

Dear Blog,

Sorry to abandon you.. I think i've lost the passion to blog... maybe cos I'm less online nowadays..

only surfing via my addictive iphone, it a hard habit to kick!!

Can't believe it's already 2011... mine oh mine.. how far have a come.. a whirl wind of changes has since happened...it's been more than a year since the horrid days of relationship trauma.. now it's no where near.. only happy happy days!

Life has been quite a bliss... new role @ work... a new found love with my beloved.. Living in our new home.. nothing can be more sweet.. except the fact that we're planning our dream holiday to Japan.. & my best friend Joe's coming down for a visit...

I've since adapted my life to a new city not looking back to a very different, more balance life across the borders from where I call home.. still... I'm still trying to live out the twenties but no more alcoholic days of drinking.. partying which I sorely miss...to indulge yet in a bit of the vices while we're still in our youth... those days seem to be long gone... Now life is filled with responsibilities, with a healthy lifestyle where every calorie count adds to your frame where metabolism seem to be no-more no-more...

This is possibly the time of in-between where I severely struggle with the fact of no longer growing up but fears of growing old.. where you try potions after potions to fight the wrinkles.. to try to dress age appropriate... where you visit a club & realise that everyone is sooo young..I would like to turn back the clock to be where I am at now.. comfortable in my own skin, with my achievements but still have the energy to get out there! I dun think one can ever be ready of the next decade jump whatever their age.. from teens to twenties, from twenties to thirties, from thirties to forties etc...

My plan however this year is no new year resolutions but to just live life to the fullest in whatever way I can... BIG & small...& hope you do too...

As I am approach my next birthday... I wish for countless days and nights filled with the people I love.. and time spend... not trying to be someone I'm trying to be.. but just be me.....

Don't worry about people in your past
there is a reason they didn't make it to your future...


You reap what you sow.. or something I like to call karma...


I don't have to do anything.. you just need to do it to yourself...

LIfe is a joke.. and you're the joke! lol....

You promised you would call when you touch down..
that you'll be spending xmas with me...
that we''ll put in effort to make things better..

that you support me in all I do...
that you'll be there when I need ya....
that you wipe away my tears..

It's wet and cold this xmas day..
I finally know my place...
I'm all alone once again....

Sitting in the still of the night.. I wonder what life is all about.. what I have achieved so far, it's like blurry array...

Esp when the doom and gloom has gotten to everyone...

I still work hard keeping to average hours 9 to 9.. thankful that I'm not having it so bad...

I wish I can be nice and objective... but at work at times you have to remain impartial.. and cold very much like the concrete jungle...

I had learnt many tough lessons this year of mgt pple and expectations... catch up in the middle of it all with my designation...

I wish for a break I can't afford.. to be clear in my thots and at peace with my world...
It's now turned inside out.. one I can no longer place subject on spinning and twining out of control......

I hope for the best and with my last run of youth I paced myself to strive for something to keep..
To grow into a true blue air of something somewhat and some say.. indescribable realm
Of excellence...

I seated now on my bed... I wonder if you're thinking the same thots to... is yours as complex too?

I went to back track to new year resolutions for 2008...... and realised I didn't really made anything concrete!! I wouldn't want 2009 to be the same... here goes!!

Resolutions for 2009 and good advice!
1) Don't get caught up in someones's else's game-playing
2) Accept that I can't make everyone like me!
3) In the long run, I probably won't regret spending a large chuck of savings on a fantastic overseas trip. As long as I can afford to survive when I get back.. do it!
4) Self-pity won't help me.. so stop whining!
5) You can't argue with a person who's not thinking logically. Don't frustrate myself trying.. so take a deep breadth, count to three, then walk away...
6) Nothing is meant to be. It just is. Accept that sometimes you can't influence the way things turn out, and sometimes you can't.
7) Don't indulge in gossiping, it can be hurtful and dangerous..
8) Complaining is a waste of my time.. unless followed up by solution and then action
9) Ignore pple who are mean.. they are usually sad pple inside..
10) Think b4 you shout, send a vicious email, slam the door/phone. Always remember that a split second of consideration save you years of regret.
11) Shit happens, deal with it.
12) My bf => financial advisor (WIP), computer guy(check), mechanic(check), electrician(check) and plumber(check)... I'll be very nice to him...
13) Finish my CPA.. 2 more to go!
14) Do one positive thing for your health.. start exercising!
15) People don't think as often about me as often as I think they do, so stop obsessing about it!
16) Don't expect life to be miralously change.. without any effort...
17) Bring a emergency toothbrush around...and try to brush more often after lunch.. etc...
18) Don't have any credit card debt! (haha.. I never do)
19) Get a really good bag item and shoes.. great haircut(check)... cos never undestimate the importance...
20) Make decisions motivated by positivity, curosity, desire for stimulation.
21) Do whatever I dread most on monday morning.. then I can forget about it once done.
22) Make a valuable contribution to the welfare of the world...
23) Recognise that famous, rich, beautiful people are not neccessarily happy than me!
24) Learn about perspective, empathy, patience.. 3 of the most valuable life skills no one can teach me..
25) Have nice cleanly pluck eyebrows..
26) Sometimes you need to bite the bullet and say sorry
27) Have good manners, greet people by name..
28) Try to be more spontanous.. try everything once!
29) Help others, you never know when you might be the person who needs help in return.
30) Know the importance of family and close friend.. even though I'm abroad.. always make effort to be in touch!

That's a wrap for the new year!! :D

I'm happy to be back....... this time is mainly family oriented.....

I feel bad for not being around at home as often as I should.. or at all.. since I started living abroad....

I just wanna be there for my family to make up for lost times........ I'm sorry if I wasn't in touch or unable to meet up with close pals as much as I would like....... my time is limited.......

and my objective is just one big important promise...... to make my family feel love and warmth on this x'mas time festive time..........

It's wonderful to be surrounded by my friend and family......... to have the fresh familiar feeling of home that I grew up in.......... to be taken care from head to toe..... to be back on holiday without a care in the world...............

If only life was sooo simple.......

But nah...... my life ain't no bed of roses in Melbourne........ and it's different type of stress as here... I do enjoy myself there and now is a place I call home..... for now and time to come........ Feels like I can never bring myself to come back here..... with a different culture and life... something now so foreign and so unwelcoming....

I have tried to keep in touch with some old pals..... but some a little far from reach........ well I guess I tried and I'm sad you didn't reply...... Life goes on and time will not wait anymore....

I hope you are happy, gee and glad..... wherever you are and spending a wonderful xmas in your cosy home....

Wish all a merry x'mas and happy new year!! :D

The storm has blown over.... Things are talked over and life goes on..
I'm very much better....

Cos at least I'm not roaming the streets in search of a new home...
The old one is still cosy and I'm hanging on......

I guess it's time for things to take a better turn....
I appreciate all of those even though miles away.....
Dropped me a little note...
Kept me company through those long long nights....

I sure miss you........

I'm good as gold and will be back home soon.... for the Dec break... see you soon!

I had a nightmare last night... I woke up in tears..... shaking all over.....
I was running and running all night........ from a wet, dark, rotting place....
All alone and terrified.......... I couldn't get out...... and when I called out, no one answered...
I went back to sleep again...... this time..... the same thing repeat......
I was trying to escape... out of a certain place... the whole night I was running.......

I wish right here right now.. I could turn things around that they would be fine somehow...
I wish we could take back our words said..... and every bad thing would go away...
But I know it is only in a moment... that things I would be back running again... cos
Somethings are just not meant to be.........

I now have to planned my new life..... a new start... a journey that I would rather not take...
Right now... can't this wait?......
I guess no... as my time is running out.........

That's exactly how I'm feeling now... plus misery........ cos things ain't looking rosy anymore......
Wish it would not go this way..... and how things could be so different but they are not the way it's meant to be... cos of the incompatibility...........

I hope that you are well and not as upset and restless like me, with a deep sense of brokenness all swept inside of me...

The silence has been too long.. I might have gotten used to it sweet touch.. as there were too many a chance was given but it's all not taken....

Now when the numbness to a wounded heart has slowly creep in... this would perhaps give way to a better outcome in another way....

Where perhaps the rain would stop.. the sun would shine and the rainbow would fall.......

The sun rises and set the
same day after day...

I try and I try ever so hard
just realizing it's all just a dismay...

The more toil I have taken...
the more salt I have to eat...

The softer side I reveal...
The harder side appears
One I have tried not to attain...

A foul smell I start to sense...
infused with my solemn disdain...

Of a face I have not seem before
amidst all this I have to put a front
to keep up with your unpleasant
arrears of sudden emotional portray...

Stay with me while the sun still shines.....
When the weather is cool and comforting......
Pressures of life just eases by........

My days are short.... and nights long.......
Daydreams of paradise......

I hope that you'll stay....
with me.......

To do and live a dream of home.....
Promises I will make........
Tears I will not shed...

Stay as you listen to the song...
As the cool calm night passes us by....
For tomorrow comes a new day

To love, hope and live......

Just when you thot things were going your way.......... and they turn out that it's not your align expectation but taking you steps back....... it's been one big disappointment.......

One after another....... that it's no use talking or thinking cos somethings are just beyond your control...... and I can only look forward... taking things in my stride......... but anyway......

Who cares?...........

Maybe I shouldn't care anymore as well......... when you do less you won't expect more........

Is it just me? my life........ or just a wrong choice............

I just don't know..... I can only cling on or pick another....... let life unfold my future......

Life seems to be like a maze... you run off from one point to another and eventually getting no where and wondering if i'm just running around in circles... getting no where...

I wake up to this new life... somewhat unknown... thinking of all the possibilities... the Hits.. and Misses....

Lost in the little bends and turns........... I'm just scared of getting lost and not being able to make my way out....

There are those I miss dearly..... and wish I could tell them personally...... but I can't.....

I just wish that I wasn't me and my life would pick up faster than this... and that some lights would shine thru and bring me to the end of the maze......

The shocking news hit me on friday night as I packed up in office about to make my way home.... A sms came... "Grandpa just passed away, call home when you can"... from a SG HP number...

A silence... I'm all frozen in my seat... could that be my bro? I logged online desperately looking for someone who could confirmed my doubts... my cousin online helped me make a call home... "it's true...." she said....

sitting there alone..... grief sweep all over me... not knowing how is everyone else at home doing... how's ah ma doing?

A couple of phone calls home brought me it back to me where my heart really is now... with my family...

With the funeral in a few days... flight bookings full... only vacancies were those far beyond my purse strings... struggling with my cashflow... in a foreign land... I didn't make it home... to say my last good byes... to be there for my family... to support one another thru this difficult time...

This may be one of the few things I have ever regretted... like how my other grandma who passed away years ago... I didn't make it to her sick bed to wish her good bye... and til now... it's something i would very much like to have done...

Now I could only pray that God keep Grandpa save... and give strength to my family members... for Dad, Mom, Bro, Carol.. and all the uncles and aunties... In Jesus name I pray... Amen!

Sorry I couldn't get home... peace be with you all... love you...

It's a wierd wierd kinda feeling....... when everything is just basically pending....... and you're left hanging in mid-air somewhat.......... When each day comes with a ga-zillion things to get done... and you're just not sure how to start....

I've placed the things close to my heart first like my family and friends..... where most of my time is spent..... after doing the necessary like the pr and jobs stuff.....which are of uptmost importance... but that is just on the way... nearly there but not quite I must say........

The certainty of the promise that my life is in God's hands..... the support of love ones....... the desire of heading outward bound......... the carefree life of one without burden... the knowing that patience would eventually pay off.....

Now I just must muster up all my courage to just WAIT........... something I'm not accustomed to.... with the rush of deadlines that i'm used to... the waking up and going to work... the need to feel needed and significant in watever big and small way....

Time is of critical priority yet circumstances are not within my control...... a situation... a time........ when i'm called to live by faith...... and i sincerely pray each and everyday....... with each breathing moment.... I long... I ponder....... I seek for an answer......

By God's Love, Grace and Mercy....... that all this uncertainty will be revealed soon....... I'll be along my way....... and I shall not worry but just be faithful and strong.... as the following gives me comfort:

"[Cast] all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7), and “God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19).

When your mind turns to anxious thoughts about the future, remember that “your heavenly Father knows” (Matt. 6:32) and will give you what you need.
Cindy Hess Kasper

I don’t know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the One who feeds the sparrow
Is the One who stands by me. —Stanphill

Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear.

READ: James 4:13-17

You do not know what will happen tomorrow. —James 4:14

Life's one certainty is its sheer uncertainty. As Scripture reminds us, we "do not know what will happen tomorrow" (James 4:14). Real estate developer Larry Silverstein can bear witness to the truth of that text. Though he owned impressive property in New York City, he was, according to his own testimony, obsessed by the desire to add the great Twin Towers of the World Trade Center to his holdings. His wish came true. Six weeks before those two imposing skyscrapers were destroyed by terrorists, he had obtained a 99-year lease worth $3.2 billion for that majestic center.

Sadly, the fulfillment of our dreams can sometimes turn into nightmares. This reminds us not only of the uncertainty of life, but also of the need to align our desires with God's will. Experience teaches us that if we allow presumption to run our lives, the fulfillment of our own compulsive dreams may turn to dust and ashes.

There are legitimate desires, to be sure, but the book of James tells us how to approach them. Instead of presuming that our plans and dreams will be fulfilled, we ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that" (4:15).

When we submit our plans to God's will, we can enjoy His peace in the midst of life's uncertainty. Vernon C Grounds

Our life is uncertain, our path is unclear,
Yet we have no cause to falter or fear
If plans that we make our dreams to fulfill
Are born out of love for God and His will. —D. De Haan

*extracted from "http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb-10-04-03.shtml"

Prayer:

"God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next. Amen - Francis of Assisi"

It's been another week of just getting over the last lap.........

support and reassurance then my usual tendencies.......

I really appreciate those around lending my their support

those references like my counselling manager Bernice
Counselling Partner....... OCK......... and my all time fav and
encouraging manager... Victor.........

Don't think they're ever see this but I'm really blessed to

It's been a walk down memory lane when some old friends came by in your life......... My cousin all the way from Guangzhou came over to stay for a night when she stopped by Singapore for a tour around SG and M'sia........

Miss Mani Jiang........ she is such a wonder tour guide when I visited Guangzhou about 2 years back.. too bad it was at such last minute's notice that I didn't have much time to show her around......... but with the little time I had we did cover a few nite spots in SG....... Hope I get the chance to go visit her soon!!


Another lovely surprise was lunch with an old friend like Paul......... well, I needed to say my goodbyes to all my old friends........ I'm really glad we're still friends after so long... it's really rare to have such a heart warming friendship....... nothing spectacular but just to catch up on how each are doing...

It's a pleasant surprise on the twist in his life....... well......... hope you all can go and support him too in his new Venture!! If you want healthy livin! If you need to lose weight.. he's the man...

Check out his website here....... Click here to find out more about Paul...


With my other plans on the way.......... what's there not to love about my life........... I'll keep you all posted yeah!!
