Happiness Is...

Happiness is...

* Taking a longer lunch to Old Airport Road hawker centre to eat your favourite lor mee.
* Having your good friend speak to your mom like she's part of an extended family.
* Having something to look forward to after a dreary day at work.

Mood

I am seriously in no mood to work.

Enemies Before Friends

I never believed it till now...

That maybe, you need to express your hate, anger, resentment and disappointment in someone before you may even have the chance to be friends.

Its like venting all the pent up rage and before you can let it go and not allow to remain a blockage.

Its just something I have to do now...

Lindsay Price

I've been catching episodes of Lipstick Jungle, and its good. It is written by Candace Bushnell, who wrote Sex And The City. The show is about the lives of 3 good friends who are powerful career women and living in NYC.

Storyline is good. Actors are good. Lindsay (above) is hot.

What's there not to like?

Everyone Needs a Hug Sometime

Everyone needs a hug at some point in time.

Don't knock it, but the curative powers of a simple act such as a hug is amazing (well, at least to me)

Knowing the someone out there cares and feels what you are going through... the effect of words pale in comparison to what a hug communicates.

Strength

Most of us do not realise it, but we all have a latent amount of strength that we can tap on. Mind you, I’m not talking about physical strength, but rather the emotional and psychological strengths that we have.

Take an example, of putting a brave front and facing a bunch of friends after a heart-break. When all you want is to crawl into bed and stay there. It takes strength to face them and to reassure them that you are alright, when clearly, your emotions may be tumultuous inside.

Or for you to smile in the office everyday, and to try to do your very best, in the face of retrenchments happening in other departments.

We all have more strength than we know.

And we build this strength from past experience and mental toughening, and draw more from external sources such as the love showered by friends and family.

It takes a lot of strength to do certain things, like calling a tough customer, knowing that you will get screamed at.

But this strength may be bolstered by courage, and the moral responsibility of doing a right thing.

Draw on your strength today, and if you need more, you know where to look for it.

Realisation

That if I didn't want it then, that I won't want it now.

That I have not changed my "core" in the last few years - when I know I have changed in many other ways.

That this time, looking forward is more important than looking back.

Haunted

Nightmares that rob you of sleep. Haunting...

Avenue Q

I caught Avenue Q over the weekend with some friends. And it was hilarious! Do have a beer to loosen up before you watch the musical. Gets you in the mood. =)

The actors were amazing with their voices, and surprisingly, were able to convey the expressions of the muppets very well.

Although, I must say some friends did not enjoy the musical as much due to the strong American-accent and American-tinted humour.

But go catch it!

Analogies...

I believe that analogies help describe one's situation a lot better. It is an excursion away from the topic, but describes the topic in a way the listener can relate or empathise.

As such, I'm a big fan of using analogies. I try to make them witty, relevant and in some cases, cryptic.

One thought has been stuck in my head all weekend.

That although that Ferrari looked like all I wanted, I shouldn't have bought it without the engine. No matter how good or ideal the car looked, it was the engine which was the most important part. And when there is no point having the chassis, without the engine.

Self-rationalisation. It is a good step towards recovery.
