Thank goodness I still get excited

I used to have insomnia whenever I'm excited over something eg. first day of school - this stopped after I realised well, school isn't that exciting.

To me, sleep is an avenue of escape.
Why? Because some people can't (sleep) when they are upset, angry and whatnot.
But when I am feeling so, I sleep.
So when I lack of it, it's either I'm excited or I'm mahjonging, ha. The more hip term years ago would be partying but that's history.
And thus insomnia or lack of sleep is usually a good thing for me.

My life is bland now.
I've been trying to inject some fun, excitement and differences but have not been quite successful.
Just 2 days ago, I was rethinking the idea of getting a Masters.
And then getting braces, Invisalign to be exact.
Don't get me wrong, these are not impulsive thoughts.
But HY said I'm just bored and should just consider being a mum.

I know I will be one day, maybe soon.
But I'm just waiting for the flat to be here and it's happening soon.
Beside, what difference does a year or even two really make?

I've not achieved much.
And I don't want to look back in regrets years later or even blame the child for 'ruining' my plans or chances.
Alright, it's not like I have big plans but something along the line you know?

I'm not motivated at work.
There are loads to do this year but somehow, I'm just not as keen as before.
Is it because there's nothing worth fighting for and there's no need to prove myself?

Or ultimately, everything boils down to me not being genuinely happy ever since...
I'm not blaming anyone.
But no one really talks about it anymore and sometimes, I wish I can.
And when we do talk about it in a matter-of-factly manner, it hurts.
Because we are trying our best to be rational while suppressing our feelings.

Perhaps this is why I want changes right now. Changes that I can make them happen.
To divert my attention, to give me new hope, to make me smile again.
For a start, I'm trying to change myself - to be less involved, less bossy and to stop thinking that everyone needs me.

Perhaps I'm just too free... so till I figure out what changes work for me, I shall enjoy the next 4 days in HK :)
This is what I'm excited about and thank goodness for that.

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

I would like to erase 2016

It feels like the end of the world but it's not. Or maybe a really bad nightmare. But it's not. Time heals all wounds. But it doesn't (heal) scars. Time reminds you the distance between us. That you are long gone. The pain, I have no words for. The tears, I have no control of. Well, sometimes I try to hold them back and sometimes, I allow myself to be defiant and cry out loud. I'm worried to hold you back with those tears but I'm worried I'd stop thinking of you one day. That one day, everyone pretends you never happened. Or that we forget something along the way. People say life goes on. Sure it does. Without you that is. 2016, I fucking hate you. I know this too will pass and when I'm more at peace, I'd be able to forgive you. But I'd never forget. I'd learn to let go instead.
