I can read minds...

Or at least the birthday wishes that people have!

Example #1
I was with Jasmine and I had just drove out of the carpark at The Cathay.

Jasmine (after seeing a cab with an advertisement of The Lion King):
Hey I wanna watch the lion king but I heard from my sis that it has ended already.. 

Me:
Oh really? Hmmm.. 
(I had already bought tix for the lion king that evening, but it was unknown to her obviously)

Jasmine:
Yea... *Pouts*


I then revealed it to her over dinner. Like to think that she was rather thrilled!


Example #2
I was having an imperial dinner with xiuxiu at Sushi Tei (imperial because the bill came up to $110 for the 2 of us) to celebrate her birthday.

Halfway through the dinner, she suddenly told me that she wants to buy a luggage. I swear I nearly choked on my tamago sushi when I heard that. Just a few hours back, I had went shopping for her present and got her the exact gift she wanted - a samsonite luggage!

I think I should be a party planner, or at least for birthdays. =)

順其自然

 我試著讓生活變得清淡

 對幸福或寂寞順其自然 

偶爾小小孤單 

偶爾小小浪漫

 不怕大喜大悲那麼難負擔 

不想再背負太多期盼

 對好奇或關心順其自然

 只是那點不安

 只是那種辛酸 

總會忽然擴散

讓心又累又茫然 (期望有人陪伴)

More than greenbacks

Sometimes, motivation isn't best served in the form of money.

To quote Bill Gates,

'I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I'm still fanatical, but now I'm a little less fanatical'

If you're interested, here's the entire Bill Gates interview.

Money can motivate you quite a bit, but without passion, you won't be able to go far.
So that explains why we need rewards!

Taking stock

I can't remember the last time I put in so much effort in doing something.
2 weeks of preparation and toil, for an emotional day of joy and tears.
"Delivering Happiness" was the theme, and I'd like to think I managed to do that.

I dont know how I got myself so deeply entrenched.
很多时候，我觉得我只是个在绕圈子的过客。
It doesn't matter how much mileage I clock, I am ultimately still only a by-passer.

FUCK THIS BLOG IS GETTING EMO

Flying off in a day

Not to everyone's beloved NZ, but to Guangzhou.

I feel like i have so many things undone; i'm not looking forward to the trip at all.
Haven't packed, haven't planned anything, I have no inkling of what's the itinerary gonna be like at all.
Guess I'll leave it to my bro and Belinda to work things out.
I'll just be a happy camper.

Been busy with other stuff for the past few days, and I reckon it will remain this way till next week.
Something that I haven't done for such a long time.. The feeling is... indescribable.
And when I look back on past materials, every little thing evokes a totally different emotion.
Now... it just feels surreal.

Okay enough of rubbish.
I'll be back when i have more stuff to talk about.
I've been pretty devoid of emotions lately, which explains the lack of posts as well.

Bye!

好朋友

我想。。。
还是做好朋友最好吧。。。

少了期望，少了寄托，少了尴尬。

我不会离开，
也不会抛弃，
但也不会待在这里，
裹住不前。

依然很疼你，
依旧会疼你，
只是做出心中的调整罢了。

：）
