My bf and I attended a wedding last night. A friend of mine back in my uni days got hitched, absolutely happy for her. She looked so gorgeous. There were many familiar faces in the banquet hall and I spent some time catching up with these long lost uni friends. Wow! It had been almost nine years since I last met some of them!! Almost hard to believe but it’s true.

I lost touch with most of them after an unhappy event. Back then, we were young and naive. Our minds were so narrow, we couldn’t see the whole big picture. I had a lot of sore memories rushing back to me. The betrayals. The accusations. Some past emotions came to my mind but I was fully aware of them.

On our way home, my bf commented some negative things about my friends at our table. I was surprised to know he felt the same way. I thought I was the only paranoid one. I told him some stories about the past unhappy event and how upset i was. He convinced me that it was actually a blessing in disguise. I am stronger because of that. I just love how he always turns everything into positive.

After 9 years, these people have not changed much (despite being married, having kids, started business and etc). I know I’ve changed a lot. If I could manipulate the space/time continuum and teleport myself back to 9 years ago, I would have handle the situation differently.

Anyway, the past is the past. Let the bygones be bygones. Nevertheless, don’t forget the lesson learnt. In fact, my bf’s right. It is a blessing in disguise because I’ve learned a lesson not everyone could.

Thank you, Universe!

All my life, I haven’t been very good at this relationship thingy. I love freedom. But I also love to be loved (who doesn’t?). I thought I should be as independent as possible, and I have no problems with that. But as it appears, not everyone thinks like me. He definitely doesn’t. It’s a wonderful and comforting surprise to find that out. I’m just too used to solving things on my own. This explains why I prefer to be single. I don’t know how to express my feelings. Maybe I’m just what my staff calls me… a freak.

* Pulling my hair and scratching my head *

When you are in a serious relationship, what is expected of you? I thought I’ve had it all figured out but nooooo. I was so wrong. Tonight, I’ve learnt some new relationship skills.

Sigh… expectations…expectations…expectations. Lately, it feels like I’m being dragged around to fulfill other people’s expectations of me. So tired…

Universe, please help me to improve my circumstances. Thank you, Universe!

晴天将会属于我的！很有耐心真在期待着 …

After reading Koon Lip’s post The people around me in 2009, I decided to write a version of mine. Here goes…

In 2009, a lot of people has contributed in many areas of my life, career and happiness. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all these people, who have made a difference in my life. Also, these are the people I need in order to maintain my sanity and well-being. (sorry if I’ve missed anyone out)

1) My family (my dad, sister and brother) – They are my safety net and always have been giving me unconditional love.

2) Fookies (May Lam, Grace, Le Teng, Kay Mi, Filonessa) – My besties of 15 years, whom I cannot live without. They have been there for me, thru thick and thin. They’re the ones who have seen me at my best and also at my worst. Their love is unconditional too.

3) XCool (Kian Cheong) – He is unlike any other guys I’ve dated. He is a very positive person, who somehow has this power to make me happy even when I’m very down.

4) Forex Gang (Koon Lip, Lowie, Heng, Pooi Lum, Jerene, Chooi Ling, Alex Lee and etc.) – They are always so generous in sharing trading information. Our friendship grew a lot stronger now.

5) MM Friends (Pei San, Kok Liang, KM, Yuen Lung, Alex Sim, Roger and etc.) – They are also very generous in sharing information and some of them are my personal close friends now.

6) My relatives – They are very approchable and caring, especially my aunts.

7) My late mum – I’ve saved the best for last. How was she helpful? The values instilled by her in me helped me to become the person that I am. Words cannot express how much I miss her.

Thank you to all of them again (and to those who I’ve missed you). I love you all! Muaks!

I think I’ll stop using my precious time to fix this website. It looks good now. As long as it serves its main purpose, which is for me to write my journal, I’m happy with it. Simple and nice. I’m a pretty simple person who has big dreams.

The color combination has been carefully planned using 90% of my lucky colors. I did not just made that up out of thin air. Lately, a Feng Shui Master read my birth details and determined my lucky colors (and also my life’s destiny in brief). Overall, I have a good life from every aspects. Happy happy! He did mention, however, that the early years of my career life was a struggle and things will improve as I’ve passed mid-twenties (go figure!).

I believe that we can change our fate by creating more good karma along the way. However, sometimes it’s good to know what they think is in store for you. I’m not saying you should believe it 100%. I choose what I want to believe. I believe 100% on the good ones and take precautions on the bad ones. Life is all about choices. After all, I am indirectly doing Law of Attraction, am I not?

Thank you, Universe, for all the blessings.  You’ve been so kind to me and thank you (in advanced) for the good things that are on their way to me.

I went for a movie alone today. I enjoyed it. Although I love going to the movies with XCool, I also like spending time with myself. I used to do that a lot but nowadays I seldom get the chance to do so. People who are afraid of being alone are the people who do not love themselves. I love me! I do, I do, I do! What’s not to love?

Oh by the way, I’m happy and excited about a lot of things. I forgot to express my gratitude. Thank you, Universe! Muak muaks!

It’s really time to sleep now. Adios!

I was using RapidWeaver for my website but now I’m changing back to WordPress. Bear with me. I haven’t got time to beautify the site. Got a lot to do for my business for the next few days. I got to run out now. Stay tuned… tata!

Last night (New Year’s Eve), I did my countdown in my restaurant. Well, it wasn’t really a countdown. Okay fine. I didn’t countdown at all. But when the fireworks from a nearby shopping mall were displayed on the sky, I knew it was New Year. I did a round of greeting my customers on the dining floor and then I stood at my shop’s entrance looking at the fireworks. I spoke to Universe and told her what I wanted for this year and what I’m willing to do for her to grant my wishes. I have full faith in you, Universe!

When all is done, I suddenly felt a little lost. Last year, I did my countdown with my best friends fookies in a sleepover party at a hotel. I spoke to the Universe the exact same way and the Universe has granted almost all of my wishes. So what’s bothering me? Last year 2009, along with the good changes, there were also some unpleasant changes in my life. These are tears-making heart-breaking calamity. I certainly didn’t wish for that. But could it be that I didn’t wish for it to not happen? Then, it just hit me….. were the wishes I just made to the Universe good enough? Did I miss anything out?

Two of my fookies came to look for me and together with XCool, we went to another joint to have some beer. Gulping down the intoxicating liquid, I put all my crazy thoughts away and enjoyed the New Year’s air.

This morning, I woke up with a slight hangover. I was doing some paperwork for my shop and dated the document as “1/1/10”. The crazy thoughts popped up again. Bah! You just can’t predict everything so why worry? I’ll just do my part and grow up. Letting go and Letting God.

This will be the year of many better changes. This will be the year I stand up for myself and be independent. This will be the year I ‘buy’ back my loved ones. This will be the year I move one bigger step towards my destination. The year 2010 – the year of revolution (XCool’s favorite word). Dare to take risk!

Thank you, Universe, for giving me all the courage I need!

Hello!!! I’m back! How do you like my new look? Ho ho ho. I missed my blog. Was so used to writing my blog that I suffered a few weeks without it. It kept me happy. Hard to believe but it’s true. My relationship with my blog is bigger than what I thought. During the down time, many of my friends have been asking me to revive this blog. Thank you, friends, for your support.

This time round, my blog will be slightly different from the former one. Then, you must be wondering where are the entries from my old blog? They are GONE! You can’t find them anymore. I know. Silly me. I did something to it and the files are gone! Nevermind. Never too late to start all over again.

(who is 99% close to what I’ve asked Universe for).

Appeared in Personal Money Magazine for an article I sent to a friend in The Edge.

Bought an F&B business and it was launched in July 2009.

Bestie 5th Fookie tied a knot. *Sob Sob* (happy tears).

Social network expanded and I have more friends now!

So… what’s next in 2010?  2010 is going to be another awesome year because Law of Attraction is great. I will continue to adopt the practice.

Thank you, Universe, for all the blessings in 2009. Lets continue to rock in 2010!
