Heute versuche ich auf Deutsch schreiben :) Das Wetter jetzt in Singapur ist sehr sehr warm. Ich habe immer durst. Ich muss auch immer in einem raum mit der Klimaanlage bleiben, sonst frustrierte ich sein.
Ich wünsche, dass es in Singapur schneien wird. Aber ich weiß, das ist unmöglich!! Wir brauchen der Regen!
Trozt dem warme Wetter, fuhr ich heute nach der Fahrschule. Ich war sehr aufgeregt, weil es nur meine zweiten Fahrstunde war.
Ich habe für ungefähr 1,5 Stunden getrieben. Ich habe die Biegung auf der Straße geübt. Ich meine, wenn mann die Kontrolle des Auto hat, fühle sich ganz freiheit!
Ich freue mich auf der nächste Unterricht. Ich hoffe, dass ich kann bald experte auf der Straße treiben :)

Time Out!
I felt like a Wonder Woman at work today. This week has been the busiest.craziest week in my entire work life. With tasks piling up every minute, I felt like I was doing work without thinking, without organizing, because I just had no time to stop, no time to waste. It felt like a game I played in carnivals, where I'ld hold a "hammer" and hit as many bobbing heads I can in the shortest time possible. I'm pretty sure this phase will soon pass and I'll be fine. To be honest, I enjoy being occupied at work, than to be counting down to knock off from work. To me, it doesn't matter how tough the work is, at the end of the day, it is important that the job provides me with a level of satisfaction and fulfillment. If it doesn't, a job will just be nothing more than where I waste my time away. I am so glad that I found satisfaction and fulfillment in my job :)
Cheers to the upcoming weekend, to longer sleeps :)

Seventh Heaven :)
There are days when you walk into the library and feel delighted having picked up a book of a good read.
Recently, I read a book by Adene Halpern titled "The Ten Best Days Of My Life". The story is a recount of a 29 year old's life. Her name is Amy Adams. Amy found herself in heaven after being hit by a mini cooper car. Apparently, there are different levels in heaven and the best is seventh heaven (of course). This is a place where shoes don't pinch, fats and cellulite are gone, you have everything you desire in your heart. Life in seventh heaven is indeed wonderful! As the story goes, in order for Amy to remain in seventh heaven, Amy needs to write an essay on the 10 best days of her life. As I read through Amy's recount of her life, from birth right until her last day on earth, I had good laughs of Amy's happy moments, and I empathize when she recounts of unhappy incidents in her life.
Books of such nature often sets me thinking about my own life. What are the best days in my life? What things, which groups of people and what life experiences matters to me most, which I treasured most? Do I have 10 best days which I could name?
My dream since I was 13 was to visit Germany. When I was 20, I applied for a 6 months student exchange program in Mannheim, Germany, and was accepted. The excitement, happiness and feelings of gratitude were beyond words. The day I was set to fly out, I had lunch with my family. While I felt really sad leaving behind my family, I knew I was going to have the best time in my life, because I was fulfilling my dream. I wrote a farewell letter to my family and handed to them just before I went into the departure gate. I was all emotional because I knew this would not have been possible if I didn't have supportive parents. The day I arrived into Frankfurt airport, stepped out in the cold (since it was in Feb when I arrived), and took a breath of the cold air that it dawned upon me - this is real, I am in Germany. That was one of the best days in my life :)
As I live through life, I am sure I will have more "best days" in my life.
Let us live life, love life to the fullest!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

day out at hort park
When i woke up today, the air smells of rain. It's those days when you feel like snuggling up your blanket and not get up till you feel like it.
Well i woke up at around 9 plus, not too late nor too early. I went out with my parents and brother to Hort Park. I am personally not a botanist enthusiast. But the sight of seeing my mommy enjoying herself at the park just makes me feel good. She's like, "this is called verticle gardening"; "oh these are sugar canes"; "hmm the mixed breed of sunflowers!". It's really rare seeing her behaving like a little child on a discovery trail, absorbing everything she sees with delight. We had a great lunch of course :)
I begin to appreciate public holidays. I look forward to them and see it as a great opportunity for a get together with my family. Afterall, family is the emotional support and pillar behind every individual.

celebrating a baby's 1st month
A newly born. It never fails to amaze me whenever i see pregnant ladies with heavy tummies walking along shopping streets or struggling up the public transport. The thought of having a life within you is indeed an experience which belongs to only the mummies-to-be. After 9 full months of feeding the life within, it's no surprise that babies develop this natural attachment to mummies the moment they are born but not to daddies. Indeed it is a real joy to celebrate a baby's arrival on to earth !
Take a look at this pretty package which was delivered to celebrate Alyssa's 1st month birthday.
And the food in it.
Well, i'm already well past my 1st month of birthday. But still i hope to live every day and month of my life to the fullest. :)

Genuis and Gawk
Have you watch the MV on this korean song "Kiss, because i'm a girl"? Well if you had, you would realise the MV's pretty romantic but ended in a sad way because the guy had donated his pair of corneas to the girl whom he loves.
Yesterday, i chanced upon this Hongkong show "Genius and Gawk".
The story began with the coincidental meeting of a city and a village man. The village man, being really pure, honest and simple- hoped to find a pretty wife in the city, versus the city man who's clever, scheming, in need of money but kind-hearted.
I kind of expected how the city man would ask for a loan from the village man, and in return, he would help him to find a wife. The village man being not so good looking, were rejected by all the ladies he met. Finally, he met this blind but pretty lady called yuan. In order to gain her love, he and the city man put up a show, allowing yuan to believe that the village man is really rich and he even has a PA around him- who's the city man. Yuan eventually develops positive feelings towards the village man, not because of his wealth, but because of the village man's kind heart.
Believe it or not, once when the city man helped yuan to look after her roadside flower shop while the village man took her out on a date, there was a gang fight and a briefcase loaded with money fell beside the stall during the gang fight confusion. The city man, who's desperate for money now sees the opportunity to use the illegal money to repay his son's loan needed for overseas studies. The internal struggle between conscience and greed rose within the city man. Because of this issue, Yuan and the village man were captured by the gang members who threatened the city man that if he doesn't return the money, both of them will be dead. In the end, the city man brought the briefcase to the kidnappers and demanded them to release both his friends first. However, the briefcase wasn't filled with cash, but with white paper. Seeing that they were fooled, the gang members hit the city man till half dead. Meanwhile, both his friends managed to escape.
After being in coma for 3 days, the city man realises the village man was gone. He reads a letter left behind by him, thanking him for his friendship and sincerity as not only did he not look down on him as he was from the village, but he even risked him life to save him. Time passes by and the city man still didn't hear news from the village man. Until one day, he saw yuan riding on a bike. Her sight had recovered. But she too didn't know where did the village man go to.
It was then they decided to go back to his hometown, where the city man and him first met, to look for him. Halfway through the search, both of them rested at a teahouse. The city man went off to ask around while yuan rested. Then from afar, she saw a blind man carrying a case filled with packets of peanuts for sale. She went up and bought one. But when the peanut-seller heard her voice, he immediately walked off. Yuan wanted to pay him, As she stuffed the notes into his hands, she began to realise from the touch of his hands, that was the village man! but he was blind. Then it hit her that he had donated his corneas to her. It was very touching to see how yuan accepts the village man for who he is. For his inner beauty despite how the village man insist he wasn't worthy and suitable for her.
I like these kinda shows. Simple yet down to earth and touching. :)
