Honey and Lemon

Saturday Run

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:55:07 +0800

It feels so good to have a great morning jog after a working week of stress and fatigue. I’m much energized after swearing it all out. Feels like any excess fats and burdens on my body were shed instantly.

And it’s great to see many people at the park where I jog and the cafe where I packed some breakfast after the run, starting a brand new day early. Renews a sense of hope in me, I guess.

I hope I didn’t stink in Starbucks just now. Oops.

Have a great weekend.

Family photos at a workplaces

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:41:19 +0800

I came to realize why some people put family photos on their desk at work. It all started when there were two photos, one with myself and my daddy, the other with myself and my brother. Taken when I was about 8 years old.

I never wanted to put them away ever since they were on my desk.

It’s all because seeing these photos keeps me remembering about my family in the midst of a busy day at work. Especially my daddy, it reminds that he’s always in my heart even though he is no longer around.

Never fails to bring a smile to me. :)

Departures

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 23:22:58 +0800

A cliche but every single day that we live is indeed a blessing. For every day the people in our lives, be it our families, friends, co-workers, clients, who live - Let’s be grateful for that occurrence. Life isn’t easy to come by.

Maybe we will never know the meaning losing until we have lost it. While I was partying away on Christmas Eve, a friend of mine had already departed from this world. Never have I ever imagined of receiving such a shocking and upsetting piece of news on Christmas Day.

Engulfed in shock, devastation and confusion, I stood where I was, dialing numbers of my other friends impatiently. When I finally got through, I found it so hard to break the news. Each time I had to affirm that the news was true, my heart ached. How I wish I wasn’t speaking the truth.

Suddenly I’m so afraid of losing people in my life. Suddenly I miss my friends very greatly.

I wish I could have done something. I will give in my best because I know it’s all possible. I will go all out to protect my friends if I knew that they were in danger. Problems can be solved, we just need to think it right and then work them out.

Then it occurred to me that there are so many things that aren’t within our control and expectations. When things like that happen, it seems like we can only accept and move on.

Every relationship with anyone who matter ought to be taken seriously- With care, trust and authenticity. Let’s not take all the relationships we have for granted. There must be something that attracts people to become families and friends, and that’s what I call the affinity. Time to be thankful for this affinity.

A nostalgic moment of a lifetime

A nostalgic moment of a lifetime

Real or Reel?

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:48:00 +0800

I feel as though I am in some kind of Christmas movie.

You know those movies whereby the protagonist or main characters will feel kind of apprehensive or afraid and that Christmas is coming, because there is too much to be done before the day arrives, there’s no one at home or simply no looking forward to a great time when Christmas comes.

And all these movies always end up on a happy note and Christmas carols will fill the mood as you read through the credits of the film.

Definitely feeling a little uncertain right now and getting a little scared to wish for more.

Let’s just hope everything will turn out well and I will be hearing lovely Christmas songs in my head.

New Love with Number

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:51:00 +0800

The title of this post sounded as though I dabble in some sort of lottery. I suddenly have this random outburst of realization and I can’t do without airing it somewhere!

Anyway, it’s my affinity with ONE digit, not digits.

*DRUM ROLLS*

And the number is… 1!

O-N-E.

He proposed once, and I accepted it immediately.

Prior to our wedding, I posted a photo on Facebook that I really like, and it was the 1001th photo on my profile.

We decided on the wedding venue (which we really liked a lot) at once even though it was only the first venue that we went to.

We tied the knot on the 1st November 2011, so that makes it 01-11-11.

After our wedding and very recently, I posted a similar photo on Facebook and it was the 1111th photo on my Facebook.

And I realized I dedicated the 100th post on my previous blog to commemorate a special event.

Well, we only live once, don’t we?

And I always feel that all the first choices that we make tell a lot about ourselves. Because the second or third choices that you make have already undergone some rational thinking that you have found all sorts of logics to explain your decision. The first choice might be the irrational, but at least it comes from the heart.

Did I also mention that tomorrow is the the 1st December? Yay! We are officially married for 1 month!

Told you I love the number “1”.
