it's been a while since i last blogged. can't believe we are already into March. but yet i reckon that it passed at a comfortable pace. i think this is how it feels when you take life as it comes; a day at a time. no matter what, time passes. the longer you stay in one moment, the longer the hurt lingers, and the more you feel you have to catch up when you finally decide to move on.

i'm happy with how i've progressed. it certainly required a lot of discipline and determination. there have been certain days where i let negativity take hold of my thoughts. but i learnt something very important - when you stop believing in something, it is so much easier to let it go.

it is perfectly ok to feel and experience emotions. we feel because we're alive. so never let anyone tell you that feeling a certain way is wrong. perhaps we can try to minimise the negative and toxic emotions. but if you don't let them run through your veins once in a while, how can you say you truly lived as a human?

on a lighter note, it's been a month since we've moved to the new apartment. sometimes it is amazing how things can surprise you. i initially didn't quite like the new apartment, and was afraid of missing the old one, but realised that if you give anything a chance and make the most out of it, it'll soon start to grow on you. nothing stays the same and the more you resist, it'll only cause you unnecessary stress.

i'm also looking forward to starting my sewing classes! will begin end of march. really hoping to nurture my creative side more from now on. finally bought my camera too! decided on the olympus ep-l2. i'm hoping that exploring my creative side will provide me with an avenue to express myself, and give me something to keep marching on. will be starting a new creative blog soon which will feature some of my attempts :)

also, i know i keep saying this but i really wanna travel anywhere apart from Australia and Singapore! but i know given my circumstances, i shouldn't be harping on having that happening any time soon. focus on what you have and not what you don't.

alrighty, think i've overdosed on the quotes and sayings. but as someone who likes to think, analyse and reason, these quotes and sayings keep me grounded.

one more to end it off - never self-pity!
