MOMENT IN LIFE

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one,which has been opened for us. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying, and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
To those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life. Don't count the years - count the memories.

LONG WEEKEND

This week I had a long weekend, worked till around 7pm on Wednesday because I had applied leave on Friday so I needed to clear my work first before I went for my long weekend. What a busy Wednesday! On Friday, I went to JB with Kelly and MY to collect my makeover album, feeling quite excited to collect the album. Don't know how the album will look like. Had our lunch at the Chinese restaurant, **yuck** the food were not nice, would never go back there again. After our lunch, we went to collect the album, 'wow' my album look nice. Didn't see Ah Xuan there, guess he was busy. After collecting the album, we went to shop shop then headed back to sin. Didn't know where to go so went to our usual hangout place and that was KTV. Didn't know why, I didn't seem to have the mood to sing.

I left early cos CK said he was meeting Brian for dinner at Hougang and since there was nobody at home to accompany me for dinner, I decided to join them. CK came to Sembawang to fetch me cos we were late, reached there around 7pm, late for 1hr. Luckily got Alvin to accompany Brian, if not sure kanna a scolding from him. Guess what, after our dinner, we went to Hougang Mall for a walk then they suggested going KTV. **KTV again** I went to the KTV with Alvin first cos Brian needed to fetch Ah Har and CK went home to get my VCD. Reached the KTV around 8.30pm and since it was still early so I suggested to Alvin that we went Junction 8 walk walk first. Went to the CD shop to see whether they had Jay's latest album or not bcos Brian wanted to buy but most of the places already out of stock. Luckily the cd shop that I went to have it but it was imported cd, not the original cd cos original cd had sold out so I didn't buy. Anyway his sister would buy for him, somemore he didn't need to pay for it, so clever of him by asking his sister to buy. Since didn't have the cd and going to be 9pm le, we went back to the ktv, by the time we reached, Brian and Ah Har also reached le. I didn't sing much, most of the time I just sat there and listened to their singing. Alvin's singing was not bad and he knew how to sing most of the songs. But his singing was too loud, covered mine when I sang together with him. I noticed that Brian also enjoyed singing. Even if he didn't know how to sing, he would still hold on to the mic and pretended that he knew how to sing.

Went home straight after the ktv, CK wanted to send me home but I told him no need cos next day he still needed to work, somemore I lived in Jurong. So far from his house, it would be better for me to take cab home. My gastric started to pain halfway at the ktv but getting worse when I got in the cab. It was so painful until I felt like digging out my useless gastric. I couldn't even walk straight after I got off the cab but still needed to walk back home fast. Went to bed and lie down after my shower. The pain was unbearable!! And I couldn't get to sleep so I listened to my mp3, hope can fall asleep soon.

GRANDMA'S B'DAY CELEBRATION


My Grandma & Me
Last sat was my grandma's birthday, all of us gathered at our fourth uncle's house for the birthday celebration. My uncle's wife had cooked a scrumptious dinner for all of us; there were fried/grilled chicken wings, otak, sushi, spaghetti, crabs, prawns, fried bee hoon and etc. Most of them were my favorite esp. the grilled chicken wings and otak. My aunt made the best otak; she's really good at cooking. I still remember when I was young, I would always go to my grandpa's house whenever there were school holiday and aunt would cook different kinds of food for lunch and dessert too. **Yummy** My uncle kept asking me to eat the crab but I told him that I was lazy to use my hand so I was not eating. My third aunt kept making fun of me, saying that when I was young, I would always disappear in the house and my grandpa had to search the whole house looking for me and there I was hiding under the altar table eating those sweets and biscuits. Ya, I still remember those days staying at grandpa's house. Unforgettable memories!!

After the dinner, we took some photos with those little devils and soon it was time to cut the cake
. Most of the grandchildren that went to the celebration surrounded my grandma and sang birthday song for her and we took some family photos. Around 9plus, our cousin came, she really looked plumper than before but she was enjoying her life and getting married in next June. Long time didn't see her so we went to the room and chit chat. We talked bout those days when we were young, playing together with those neighbour kids and etc. **Those were the days**

Times flew fast, now I'm already 23, I'm hoping that I can find the 4th person to enter into another stage of my life. For those who had read the article before, should know what does 4th person meant. Leonard ever told me that there is no everlasting love but there is true love. Somehow I feel that true love is hard to find. Sometimes due to some reasons, people will tend to avoid love coming to them and not welcome it with open arms and let love enter them. Either they don't dare to try out or scare of being hurt. A lots of things on my mind and I don't know how to express it out.
