Mixed Feelings

He has finally moved on and found a new love of his life... I should feel happy for him, yet I am not totally super duper happy, happiness level rated as 5 out of 10. Perhaps I thought he would only be waiting me, no one else. Haha... talk about possession. Goodness gracious me! Please get rid of these selfish thoughts and give your blessings. Bought a pair of shoes and a moustache tee online! At least some comfort amidst this trying period.    

Ongoing and Upcoming Exhibitions

The Night Festival is on these few days, Pameran Poskad gonna be here on 7 Sept, ACM has its Islamic Arts from Southeast Asia exhibition, Singapore Philatelic Museum has its Imagine Dragons exhibition and Dominic Khoo's 3D art exhibition is located at 5 Jalan Kilang... So many events, yet my body is protesting. Frowns. Neither am I an artsy fartsy person, nor am I artistically inclined, but I have a penchant for such stuff. I like to immerse myself in the beauty of things, even if I do not understand the meaning of these art pieces. Get well soon, body, not sure if the exhibitions can wait so long for you.       

Optical Illusions

My first attempt at making my own optical illusion! Failed terribly for a first-timer... haha... Sister said the effect of the "protruding hand" is only ten percent convincing.. wonder what went wrong? Maybe my wavy lines arent wavy enough!

The Overly Attached Girlfriend

Spent a while browsing this website that was recommended by my friends on Facebook, www.overlyattachedgirlfriend.com, which had me laughing for a while. Yes, I must admit sheepishly, I do have some traits of the overly attached girlfriend, but kept to a minimal hence, not that destructive yet!

If I can get pass this, I can get pass anything. Please let me be well soon. I still want to wear my pretty clothes to work.. I have been in this zombie state for so long... Please let me have my life back.

The Sweet Couple

Today, I met this middle aged woman during my weekly tcm sessions. She left a deep impression on me as she is a stroke patient who's on her way to recovery. I learnt that she couldnt walk and was wheelchair bound during her first visit to the clinic and now she is able to walk on her own. Impressive! It was due to her diet of  4 deep fried chicken wings daily that caused her to suffer from a stroke. She's a petite woman, so that's a surprise to me. Oops.. forming stereotypes again. After collecting her medicine from the dispensary, she didnt leave immediately. She sat down and waited. Ten minutes passed. Continued to wait. Another ten minutes passed. The patient behind me got curious and nudged her. How come your husband is not around? She asked. I expected a reply from her, yet no voice came out. She was gesturing, indicating that her husband was on his way here. I learnt that she lost her ability to speak after the stroke and her husband is always around her during her visits to the clinic. She finally stood up after she saw this lorry driving into the carpark. Yes, it is her husband, who rushes down and talks to her. They appear delighted to see each other. Can sense the love in their eyes. Such a sight is rare these days... It's nice and a little heartwarming to know that there are elderly couples still very much in love. Nowadays couples are together with each other because of commitment and they are at each others' throats, this includes my parents.  My mom laments that dad is ill treating her, not being romantic blah blah. The deepest blow is when she says she would not have chosen him if given a second chance. I think such stuff shouldnt be said during quarrels, esp during heated arguments. They might have been said on impulse, but once said, the damage is done. I do not wish to follow in my parents' footsteps. I want to grow old with my partner hand in hand, strolling in parks, gazing at each other lovingly, stroking at each others' wrinkled faces, poking fun at each others' sagging skin. Such thoughts make me smile :)
                    

Bitter

Convocation's over.... Yet I am still brooding over it... Missed out on taking photos with everyone, frens and profs. Missed taking photo with breadman..How often do you graduate at the same time as your partner? Missed throwing my mortar board in the sky... Feeling so bitter about it. Wanna relieve the convocation feel when I am well.  Eng chiew feels kind of sad too, but at least she's enjoying life in Japan..  Please please let me be well soon. My life needs to get in shape.
