It's been exactly a year since I renounced my 'girlfriend' status. It's been a year since I saw him. It's been a year of independence and test of my womanly strength. It's been a year of happiness.
Can you spot the differences? Hahaha... I am still the narcissist you once knew a year ago. It's my flaw; I embrace it wholly.
What do I wish for the next 365 days? A better, stronger and flawsome me.
Oooooh the stereotypes that's casted upon being the only offspring to a set of parents can be downright cruel at times. I have been the only child (as far as I know) all my life and needless to say, I am one of those who are dying to have siblings to argue, play and grow old with. The older I get, the more I resented the idea of me being the only one in the family that will be left to carry on the family genes.
I will dedicate this entire post for all my high school sweethearts. I stalked them for a bit to find out if they have been ageing gracefully or not. Oh just a little disclaimer: I broke up with all of them. So here goes nothing....
For the first time I am dumbfounded not knowing how to summarise my year without sounding like a failure. This year hadn't been an easy one for me... at all! It pains me to list them all out but I'm a trooper so I'm gonna look on the bright side and list all the good stuff that had happened, in no chronological order, because I'm feeling kinda messy right now.
Had the opportunity to introduce my dear friend all my outlets. Potentially to be picked as one of her filming location. We were awed by the Christmas tree at UOB Building at Raffles Place and decided to do a festive selfie.
Her: edit the photo and send it to S.
Me: like a family Christmas card?
Her: can also!
Like what my ex boss used to say, "Have a good one".
I am seriously blessed to age patiently and surrounded by people I can call friends for life. As you grow older, you will learn to eliminate people in your life that's toxic and not worth keeping. I can safely declare that ageing is a beautiful thing!
What would you do with your life if you didn't have to pay the bills?
Travel
Buy my own place and furnish it however way I please
Learn a new skill. I've always wanted to learn how to sew.
What cuts you the deepest?
Usually it's about money but that's not the issue now isn't it? Losing someone I love and care for will be at the top of the charts.
Failure comes second. Especially when I've attempted with all my heart and resulted with less than satisfactory.
If you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?
I wanted to say 'sleep' but since I'm going to die, that should be the last thing I should think about. I will probably want to be surrounded by the people I love.
Spend and donate my money to charity till my bank account is empty.
Who do you love and why do you love them?
My boyfriend is the obvious choice here for so many reasons.
I have to acknowledge my grandma here as she has been taking care of me since the day I was born and I felt I have not given back enough even though I've been independent since I was 18.
What do you quote?
Song lyrics, be it meaningful ones or just plain dumb.
Darnest things said by famous people on or off screen.
In those rare but life-changing moments, how do you act?
I'll embrace it and if it feels good I'll embrace it repeatedly.
I do trust my gut feel and if it doesn't feel so warm, I'd say... RUN!
What so you think about most?
I think about the future like 5 years down the road, how will my life be like
I think about vacations. The places I want to go to and actually plan my itinerary in my head.
I've been redesignated and taking in more roles at work hence the hiatus. I'm committed to blog at least once a week now, no excuses. I've yet to fix my home monitor but I've seriously gotten used to not turning on my PC!
Since young, I have been conscious of the gap between my two front teeth. I remembered when I was like eight years old, I asked the dentist in my school, almost daily, to make it disappear. My mum had to be called down not to discuss braces or anything like that, but more towards ganging up against me to keep the gap. I was thinking how terrible my school dentist was to not want me to have pretty set of pearly whites! My mum, on the other hand, kept telling me I have teeth like Madonna and Janet Jackson. Thanks mum but no. I still wanted my gap gone!
It has been about 5 days since my birthday and I have felt nothing but love from people I care about. I feel blessed and glad I have friends that I can still call friends.
I have been swarmed with work and school and I can safely say from now till the end of the year, I have no more school assignments (except for the 3 exams I have in less than 3 weeks time). Let the party begin!
I know how bloggers like to plaster their F-I-E-R-C-E photos all over the blog. I know I should conform to that trend and heck I will but I don't really have the time. So here's one to shush you for now.
