Back for a rant

Wow back here in 2019, 8 years after the last post, 7 years into working life...

I think my writing skills have regressed horribly. My old posts are such a pleasure read. I don’t write like that anymore.

Anyway, am back here for a reason. To vent. But more as a form of solace for myself really. Posting on Facebook or WhatsApp profile or whatever is too public, so here’s the next best place.

Why should I be made to feel worse than what I’m worth? Why should whatever I say be shot down and earn me a disgusted glance that makes me think how stupid I am? Why should my sense of self-with be controlled by someone entirely unworthy.

Poor me. I graduated from unconfident to even more unconfident.

But no, I’m not gonna let that get me down. The old me would scoff at me.

She is not worth it and never will be. I deem my own value and I AM BETTER THAN YOU THINK.

So there. You’re not worth me even thinking about you.

The End and A Beginning

every new chapter gets a new blog. so here.

i hope i update tt more often :s

Goodbye

and so this is goodbye, beijing. You've been kinder to me than i expected, and i am grateful for the good i've seen and received. it's been one heck of a personal journey, and i can only say i hope to come out a more peaceful person than before.
i'm glad i came, afterall, despite all the misgivings i had at first. for all the bad and the good, for all the lessons learnt, for myself, im glad i came. and now that it's time to go, i can safely say beijing has claimed a little piece of my heart.
Goodbye, Beijing, and thank you for teaching me everything i've learnt, in and outside of textbooks. i wouldn't be the same without you and the 2 years here.
And now, as with everything, a chapter closes and another opens. Goodbye, Beijing, my unexpected friend, and though it's weird to say, take care!

it's been quite a while

i havent been here for quite some time, so now i share a snippet of something i found on 欧萱's blog. it's actually excerpts from the book, "Audrey Hepburn, an Elegant Spirit: A Son Remembers" by Sean Hepburn Ferrer.

Time-tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
We leave you a tradition with a future.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Your "good old days" are still ahead of you, may you have many of them.

i didn't know giving up on one meant giving up all

I shall not be hurt.
Shall not be emotionally vulnerable.

so i will make myself alright.

Happy Birthday my dear:)

you are the prettiest girl in the world:)

Goodbye, my friend

How we wish we didn't have to say those words, but somehow, in the end, we still do.


So I count my blessings. I count my friends.
Not many can last through time and my eccentricities, but for those who do, I am thankful for the blessing, for you. And for those who don't, goodbye my friend, I can only wish you well.
