Today, I saw this message about love by Bob Marley.

Let me share this.

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. 

You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. 

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. 

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. 

In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. 

Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” 

Well said Bob Marley..

For once in my life, I feel like im genuinely busy and there are things i have to seriously think and plan for.

I'm not sure if it's due to age but i feel like i've grown quite a bit mentally, hopefully in a good sense... There's so much less to blog about these days, or maybe i don't find the need to attract that much attention anymore.. Or maybe my inner soul has learnt to accept my weaknesses to the point that i don't have to induce sympathy..

With just 1 and a half semesters left to go, I find myself rushing projects, motivating myself to study and look for internships once again.. Concurrently, I find myself planning holidays, finding time for my loved ones and friends and trying to improve my Japanese and guitar skills.. I don't know if im liking it or disliking it, doing well at it or not, but at the very least i feel like im progressing in life..

Motivation is currently what i need .. an average dose of motivation is very important..

P.S Hoping that everyone around me is fine and happy...

Yet another holiday and i find myself bumming around at home..

Difference is .. for once i really tried looking for a job, in this case an internship.. Sent out 10+ emails, only 4 replied... 2 asking me for interviews, 1 rejected me, 1 asked for my resume and no reply came..

For once i've learnt that searching for a job, let alone an internship, is hard work and it sucks..
The overcrowding in Singapore has also been a pissing-me-off factor lately..

After being in a relationship, I've set appropriate goals and i think for once i can be proud enough of myself that I know what i'm doing and im on the right way.

Sadly, It seems like i'm not doing enough.. I don't know if you meant it when u said that i have no goals..

Whatever it is, i'll be trying to do some productive stuff whilst im free and i'm still hoping for Adidas to call me..

A long and gloomy holiday awaits me..

P.S Trust is hard to win.. Confidence is difficult to muster..

I wonder who still blogs these days.. For the first time in my life, i went on two consecutive holidays, first to South Korea then Vietnam right after a few days break.. In addition, I got 1 high distinction and 3 distinctions this sem and I'm really satisfied after the hard work i put in (Don't laugh i really studied hard)

It was on a whole a really fruitful and brilliant half a year...

I had intended to blog about my escapades here but i guess Facebook is a more appropriate avenue for reference.. Throughout my trips.. there were some interesting points i experienced and picked up..

South Korea
- I dyed my hair to blend in , but i was the odd one out instead, yes there are very conservative and traditional.. the juniors reallllyyy respect their seniors/elders
-Scenery there is brilliant... Weather was brilliant
-Made friends with my tour guide hyung and the photographer boy dongsaeng..
- My tour guide changed my bad perspective of tours for the better cause he was really good..
- my tua yee and tricia really don't eat a lot of stuff haha.. the meat meals we got there were delicious !


Vietnam
-My first trip alone, accompanied by my girlfriend..
-really hot.. but we got to really explore certain places like Mekong Delta and Mui ne
-still a developing country and a lot of poor people there
-kept thinking that my girlfriend was an experienced traveller, but after everything, she's still a little girl to me and i just want to take care of her..
-Rude tour guide accused me of misplacing my bag but in the end it was his fault, pissed me off. We almost got stranded in Mui Ne but saved from my nut's quick thinking and we almost got extorted money from 3 boys but saved by my wits and guts and i think they got scared off by me.. and my nut nearly lost her wallet but we went back and found it.
-On and off very interesting experiences.. some were nerve wracking, some were scary.. but we got off unscathed and i guess we were lucky and really enjoyed the trip.

I would definitely recommend going to both places, my Korea trip cost my bro 1500 for the package excluding personal expenses there.. Vietnam trip cost me 225 for air tickets and roughly 400 odd for my expenses

Mui Ne
Bumping into yang there!

Hello blog.. long time no see..

It's strange how i'm running out of things to blog about these days.. I think no one's even reading it anymore ..

Right now i'm trying to get myself to study on this cool rainy monday.. Yes i've been more hardworking ever since i got into university.. could do better though..

Was thinking ...that actually a lot of my problems are caused by my "gifted" ability to think and worry too much.. And ever ironically ..you have made me learn a lot about myself.. and i'm sure u'll continue to..

You make me realise how silly i am sometimes.. that when i try to hurt you i end up hurting myself more.. You're making me realise and change my ever present stubborness..

It's strange how i don't gauge my level of humility properly at times.. maybe i've never wanted to acknowledge my weaknesses as much.. but certain events lately have made me realise certain things..

Me.. i just want to make you happy.. be happy.. and make everyone else around me smile..
It's strange how we forget things like that sometimes.. but i know that i'll always be fine..

P.S nope.. i'm not emo-ing.. i'm just pouring my thoughts to my almost-abandoned blog

This Christmas, i went to my grandma's place for dinner as usual, but there was a difference this time round..

I brought a special someone with me.. I brought my other half with me and even though i was nervous, I'm happy my relatives were really nice to her.. I'm glad u had a great time dear..

It's so strange how life works for you, one moment u find yourself struggling and unable to find yourself and the next moment you're unbelievably happy with everything you have..

I've learnt a lot this year. One thing for sure- it pays when you work hard for what you want. And when you have what you want, Cherish it ..

Time to make your new year resolutions people. I already have mine =)..

P.S I wonder what you're doing right now nut.. I finally managed to catch a Man Utd match and we won 2-0!
