Time: 20.26pm
I amaze myself sometimes, allowing myself to be swayed by the smallest things people say or do. Why i constantly seek reassurance that what I'm doing is right and wrong and if every decision made is the best i could have had.
Its sad sometimes, how weak i am.
I remember how i came back from my last hair cut thinking it was actually pretty ok…then 10 mins after my parents and bro totally criticise it, i tot it was the ugliest thing i ever had.
Or the time my colleagues made me depress thinking of issues that didn't exist.
And even the time when i was going the right way, only to be swayed to take the wrong turn because someone said so.
Shouldn't i learn to trust my own decisions? When i place faith in them, the little voice in my head that says “yup yup, this is the right thing” should linger.
No wonder i sometimes fail to fight for things. To ask for what i should have. Cause i don’t trust much of my own instincts and i dun have the confidence to believe in my own needs and thoughts. It is always secondary to something else, some stupid things.
While I've been lucky enough to be blessed with eventual good endings…one day, i may lose something dear to me. Then i would so be shooting myself in the foot.
Yet…what degree of change is enough? And wanting to change is different from actually doing it. I say this cause I've spent years chasing this one thing that I've never fully achieve. Even today…..i stand pretty far from it.

well…personal musing aside…here is a happy long weekend to everyone. :) I am so happy to finally get a long weekend, esp.. after the long drought we suffered since CNY.
Today…my bro made a big step forward towards his happy ending and its really with a tingle of excitement that i watch this. I’m so happy for him. :) And while we still argue and piss each other off sometimes, its amazing having someone like him in my life. Well, alright not just him, but my whole family. In their own little ways, they love, care and fear for each of us. No doubt, we get on each other nerves at times, but sometimes i need a little reminder of how much i take them for granted.
