Meeningfully

While walking home from the train station, had lots on my mind. Saw a few bikes zoom pass me… and this brought back lots of memories for me. Memories of days when life was so much more simple… so much more carefree. Hubz & I used to go around everywhere on our humble super4. That’s our first vehicle together, and served us really well. Always looked forward to those nights when Hubz pick me up from work back to his home …… going against/with the wind, taking  away whatever troubles we had at that moment. Life was simple then…. work, home, sleep, eat….work again….home, sleep & eat. Work was simple… never needing to bring stuff back…. never finding myself embroiled in unnecessary office trouble. Progression takes away all simplicity… but sometimes i wonder if this is what i want. I am a simple person, with simple dreams…. yearning for that simple life. Give me back my super4 days.

Lyrics | Maria - My Favorite Things lyrics I found myself humming to the tune of this song on my way to the train station after a not so happy day. While humming… i feel my spirits lifted a teeny weeny bit. Guess it really works! I pictured Maria in “The Sound of Music” dancing away on her four poster bed… with the 7 kids tucked into the bed on a stormy night… and then life doesn’t seem all that bad anymore! Well…. the past two weeks have been quite horrid in my own terms. Feeling tired and weary. Probably it’s a sign to take a long long break. Am contemplating resting for a good 3 months to recharge… and maybe even re-evaluate what else I would want to do with my life. Of coz, at times like this, being able to keep a job is probably a blessing and not a given. Hence…having my various financial commitments… I can carry on dreaming….:P The next best option I have now is to simply remember my favourite things… and then I don’t feeeeeeeeellll so bad! All i want to do

all it takes is for two people to be less assuming, less demanding, more accommodating, less antagonistic…. and all will be well. With these constant misunderstandings, now she thinks you don’t care about her, and she thinks you are a selfish jerk…. It is no wonder you can never be compared to the other…. and watever you do can never be matched-up. This is what makes my blood boil! Sometimes…. all you need to do is just say it. Say what you feel rather than keep quiet all the time…or antagonize her. Time to stand up for what’s right….

Armed with our newly received “eat @ meritus” card, Hubz, MIL and I trooped down to Aquamarine @ Marina Mandarin this evening… Well… OCBC and the Meritus group have collaborated to bring OCBC card members an alternative dining experience. With this card, members can dine at the various meritus restaurants at a greatly discounted price…. and discounts can go all the way up to 50% for 2 dine-in guests. That’s what I call value for money. The privileges do not just stop @ the meritus group in SG…. but also apply when you dine @ the meritus resort on langkawi… Also…. while it is called eat @ meritus, members also get to enjoy special room rates at these hotels… Well…. membership is free for the first year… so no harm for OCBC card holders to apply for the card  and eat, drink & be merry! I was sure I did enjoy myself….although I would have been a little bit more appreciative it i could take my dinner a little slower, sipping on a good white wine. (of course… that will only

Not alone… dunno how long I can hold out… everything is just getting too much for me…..

Finally went for a second opinion, and guess project b has to take back seat for now as there are more pressing issues that’s in dire need of fixing. Can’t help feeling disappointed with myself… and of course sad, although i knew from the back of my mind that i am probably not in the best of health. As a growing kid, i always had problems in that area…. so this should not have turned out to be a surprise to me. I was probably trying to run away from what may be the truth… but am glad i finally got to get a second opinion after my horrendous experience with the first gynae i consulted. Anyway… I am just praying that all things will turn out just fine. And… at times like this…i am also glad that i have my jewellery making to  turn to. It’s quite therapeutic to be devoting my time, taking my mind off these not too happy stuff with designing pretty things for my customers.:) Once again… a sneak preview of what’s coming @ urbannook.com.
