Chapel St


I just realized my blog has (has/had?) been rather inconsistent. I’ve been to Gold Coast + Brisbane, met a friend whom I’ve not seen since the last 10 years. Been away and back, plus my departure back to my hometown in less than 24 hours just seems to be happening too quickly. Anyway, this was what made my day today while I was shopping at Chapel Street, (hunting for gifts but drifted off to my own selfless shopping instead.) zz

SEE YOU ALL BACK HOMEEEEEEE! ;)

PS: There’s something wrong with my comments system. Will figure that out when I have the time.




I like YOUR strategy

“A wise man once said – ‘You can have anything in life if you’re willing to sacrifice everything else for it.‘ What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you’re willing to lose. Too often going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a lifetime building. Of course the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming. When we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick sides….or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the other way around, that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.”

Change

I’ve been playing around with my web layout, and finally settled on something really simple. Wordpress is shit. I took quite a while to figure everything out before I came to this and I must say I feel good accomplishing something new again. My portfolio site is still half way through. I need to be back in SIN to add another two more projects then I’d be done but I guess I should complete the pending few first (just being lazy again). Sigh.

I’ve been living in a dream for 300 days and I guess it’s time for a change too.




Scars and Souvenirs

Today I missed or rather forgo the Geelong trip with my housemates and neighbourboy, as I needed time alone just to think through stuff and this weekend I had the house to myself, still wondering if it’s a good thing.How I wish I could be drowned with assignments once again so that time would go by quickly. But yet when I’m in it, I hope to get out of it and do nothing all day. Funny how all this happens and how our minds actually work. Maybe it was the thought/illusion that kept you going or rather the things you anticipated for. Yet in reality, doesn’t materialize. I guess all I need is a pinch to wake me up from all the naive-ness (if there’s even such a word).

What’s worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should’ve healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again.
