Transit Hotel

What or how does it feel to be just a temporary salvation for someone, or many people out there. How does it feel to actually be THE destination for someone without them having to leave. I wouldn't know. Cause I'm just a transit hotel. They come, they stay for a while, get comfortable, and just when you think it's gonna be forever, it's not, and you're just left behind. Unwanted. With an empty room.

Life without struggles, is like a camera with no pictures

Everyday of our lives we tend to face challenge. Some more manageable than others, and there are those that pushes you off balance.

If you would imagine your life, being a video camera and your eyes be the lens.You could see how sometimes there are days where life is a breeze, mundane and uninteresting. The pictures too, will develop into a plain image. However, if something bizarre happens, something you never expected. Imagine your sketchbook filled with page after page of colourful striking images.

But as we all know, life cannot be so colourful all the time. It takes a little black to make the red stand out.It takes a little bitterness to make the sweet taste a little sweeter. And it takes some pain, to appreciate the experience.

This is just me, reminding myself each and every single day, that no matter how dark and disappointing that day could be, things will get better. It all starts, with a smile. =]

Tough times don't last, tough people do

As we nose dive into this new year, let us remember the ups and downs of last year. To be honest, last year sucked. It sucked big time. And no, not being a pessimist here but, really tho. Despite sucking so hard, it was a year filled with change. A year that is constantly changing, the people I meet, the people I work with, the people I get close to, the people who left me. On hindsight, it was probably one of the biggest whirlwind of a year I've ever had. So instead of focusing on the negatives, I'll just list some of the things I'm grateful for in 2013.

1) Getting a full time job as an AED
     This is probably one of the things that I was so excited for. All those countless emails I've sent to those at MOE recruitment. There was actually a time where I actually just stopped worrying cause I gave up, I didn't hear from them for so long I guess there's no point hoping anymore. Then that phone call came and yup, I got the job.

2) Being a band instructor
     Ever since I joined band back in secondary 2, I've always loved learning and teaching music/instruments to people. I guess it's the joy of seeing people being able to make music and share the love of music. Being a band instructor opened up my eyes to a world full of hope and love. Up till now I miss teaching them, seeing their faces light up as I walked into class. But I'm sure they're in safe hands. I will try to make time to come back just to see them. And also there's the band that has become my family from my 1 year teaching there. I really wish to see them again soon.
