从来就不认为钻牛角尖是一种美德，特别是都市人。太过敏感或感情用事都是种累赘。

可能又是时候坐下自我检讨了。

I need and enjoy my "Me Time".
A little bit of quality time to myself. Nothing much, nothing too deep, just some time to enjoy my music without people.

My down time.

Seems like the down time is longer lately, I wonder if it is dependent on the weather/time of the year. Perhaps my ability to process information is so slow now that I need time by myself to digest what has taken place in the morning.

:S

This December, have you taken some time to think about 2010 and how it mattered to you?

Sitting here on a Sunday morning with my coffee - faced with the last week of 2010.

Well, if i were to evaluate my life according to the $ in my bank account, how far I have progressed in my work, whether I have taken another step to set up my own family, I guess I should be disappointed with myself.

But personally, I do not subscribe to those benchmarks, although they do affect me sometimes. There is also nothing wrong with evaluating oneself with those benchmarks, since they are the most quantitative ones that allow people to compare themselves across industry. However, my evaluation stems from assessment of myself, how I have progress as a person, how I have expand my horizon, how I have fared in my different positions in life instead of an assessment to compare, I choose to assess myself to gain awareness, insight to the person that I am or am becoming. This may not be everyone's objective, so the difference in benchmark.

Looking back at 2010, like all other years, it has its good and bad. In terms of work, I think I have progressed at a slower rate than last year, definitely. I sometimes worry at how I may become too comfortable with my current job that I will lose my "marketability" in the future. But I realised that is a question that only I can answer, my choice of what is it I want in life.

Family wise, at this year end, I am proud to tell myself, I have tried hard enough at my family relations. I am so glad for my little niece, who brightens up my day just by being her. I am so grateful for my sisters, who are so perfect in their own little ways. I think I really have to work harder with my parents, to allow them to work lesser, enjoy their days more :)

I haven't been a very good friend to many people and I hope that I have been ok for some. I need to judge less and be more open minded - been trying to tell myself this for the longest time. But sometimes, it is just too much work to maintain some friendship. Perhaps that's why most of my friends have a certain characteristic across the board. LOL!

As for relationship wise, I think I have made some progressed in terms of my mindset about a relationship. I probably need work harder on it and more learning has to be done for this aspect of my life.

All in all, I am contented with 2010. I traveled to Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia (KL, Langkawi, Ipoh, Kota Kinabalu), Philippines. Represented the Uni as Negotiation Coach in Australia, climbed KK, personal best in my 10km run, finished my first 21km, have my first business venture, drove myself and family to places, organised my first family gathering for mommy's birthday.

This Christmas, I am contented and at peace with myself.

Wishing any one reading this to be able to find peace with yourself and a great 2011 ahead.

Love,
WR

Olivia Ong : You and Me

Taking a trip down memory lane
Things have changed One thing remains
That they will always have each other
And even though those days have gone
They know here is where they belong
There's some kinda magic in the air

Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4
Cheek to cheek
And they're learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Holding her close he leading the way
Out at the park Enjoying the Day
And you can tell they'll be ok
Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4
Cheek to cheek
And they're learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4
Cheek to cheek
And they're learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
You and me
You and me

梦一场 - Olivia Ong

Just came back from Langkawi. Didnt realise I took such a beautiful picture until I was transferring these photographs to the desktop.

Somehow, some things simply cannot be explained.

Good night! It is going to be a long day tomorrow!!

Amazing song, great movie ;) Makes you want to be part of greatness!! Awesomeness!!!

Enjoy!

He is damn freaking good! Only heard one of his songs in the past, how much have I missed :)

Enjoy!

Came home in time to see the sunset today!!

Beautiful sunset :) How long has it been since you slow down and take some time to savour a peaceful and beautiful moment like this. Wish anyone who is reading this to have some time to yourself everyday, no matter where you are and what you be doing :)

Cheers!

I'm going to sing Karaoke with my friends tomorrow!! So eggcited that I was going through all the OLD school songs that I used to sing. Listening to all these songs and reminiscing the emotions that used to engulf me when I sang them in the past.

Wow.

It has been a while haven't it?

Magic Power - 我是谁 我是谁 我是谁

作词：廷廷 (Magic Power)
作曲：廷廷 (Magic Power)



我是谁 你是否常常这样问自己
我是谁 总是活在别人的期望里
我是谁 是谁又擅自帮你定义了
你是谁 只有不是自己才安全

为什麽 你以为这个世界很美丽
为什麽 你爱这个世界胜过爱自己
为什麽 这个世界不给你平等待遇
为什麽 到底做错了什麽

朋友都说你太 太 太奇怪
在背後把你当成笑 笑 笑话看
每一个动作都被瞎猜
他们说你是个不能容忍的存在
你想要的很 很 很简单
不过就是最普通的 的 的平凡
诚实做自己有时候很难
但是请你勇敢的试一次看看

无论他们又说什麽 闲言闲语无法伤害我
世界上只有一个我 没人能代替的我
无论他们又做什麽 小动作无法打败我
我知道自己是最美丽的
The most beautiful

会不会 上帝把你的灵魂放错了身体
会不会 是故意整你不是不小心
会不会 你常常都觉得力不从心
会不会 坚持要做自己太危险

凭什麽 难道比较特别就是不对
凭什麽 先下了注解在认识之前
凭什麽 只不过想认真的活一遍
凭什麽 随便就把人定罪

朋友都说你太 太 太奇怪
在背後把你当成笑 笑 笑话看
每一个动作都被瞎猜
他们说你是个不能容忍的存在
你想要的很 很 很简单
不过就是最普通的 的 的平凡
诚实做自己有时候很难
但是请你勇敢的试一次看看

无论他们又说什麽 闲言闲语无法伤害我
世界上只有一个我 没人能代替的我
无论他们又做什麽 小动作无法打败我
我知道自己是最美丽的
The most beautiful

无论他们又说什麽 闲言闲语无法伤害我
世界上只有一个我 没人能代替的我
无论他们又做什麽 小动作无法打败我
我知道自己是最美丽的
The most beautiful
无论他们又说什麽 闲言闲语无法伤害我
我是谁 这个问题困扰你多少天多少夜
我是谁 谁有资格决定你怎样才是对
世界上只有一个我 没人能代替的我
我是谁 我是谁我是谁
我就是我你就是你
认真做自己的人最美丽
无论他们又做什麽 小动作无法打败我
我是谁 这个问题困扰你多少天多少夜
我是谁 谁有资格决定你怎样才是对
我知道自己是最美丽的
我是谁 我是谁我是谁
我就是我你就是你
认真做自己的人最美丽

Try to simplify everything and see them fall into place :)

I've moved firm. After much thoughts and various conversations with some of the more impt people in my life, some of whom supported the decision, some of whom opposed and there were those who left the decision very much to me, I have moved to a much larger firm. Telling myself that if I had to work hard at something which I dislike, I might as well work for more money.

After two months here, I will say that things are not necessarily better. At the risk of sounding like a contradicting spoilt brat of the generation Y, there is too much free time. Part of the reason is because I was not trained in this area of work in my first year, hence I am pretty much picking up things along the way and therefore the slower pace. That aside, there is a very clear line drawn between the associates and the staffs. No doubt the scene is cordial, but at the same time, there is some distance between the two groups. And most importantly, there is tension between different teams due to the overflowing work load.

I have been questioning my choice for a while after I have started, asking myself whether I have made the wrong decision? Would this be a dead end for me, to be stuck doing conveyancing for the rest of my career, being the bottom scrapper as they have stereotyped the conveyancing lawyers to me. Will I end up not learning or doing as much as my peers in the future as my ex-boss told me?

Frankly, until now I do not have the answers to these questions. However, I know that I have requested to be specialised, to learn the foundation, to learn how to be patient. Being anxious about doing something "big", "important" isn't going to help at this moment.

I just have to remind myself of the goals at the end, what I want to do, what I would like to move on to, etc. Although the goals or what I wanna do might change as time goes by, I have to keep the big picture in mind. Be focus at my current position, make it comfortable and wait for opportunities to come knocking on my door...

Moreover, I am pretty happy with my current life. Good balance between work and life. A little idealistic I know, but I will enjoy it while it lasts.

That's that for my career or rather my job..

Till next time :)
