It has been a very hectic two weeks of the New Year for me that the birthday seemed a distant memory. Despite the crazy life style I led, I was jolted to a simple fact by LI’s straightforward question after she fired her round of ammunition, “Are you happy?”

YES, I can’t be more…

I never used to think so but life does come with its little packages of positive surprises for me too. Feelin’ the love, thank you!

I wish I’ll find you soon…

I’ve had short straight hair for the longest time I can remember its now time for a change. I think I snapped my hair sometime in July 2010. Shorter in November/early December 2010 and the most recent time I don’t recall when was it…. Its been a year and a half now its time for a change. I’ve been thinking long and hard about going back to my perm. I needed to do something because I have been missing my long hair of those good old days lately. It would be a while before I can go back to that, maybe on my 27th Birthday if I do not die “when the world ends in 2012″.

I’ve shown a lot of my friends (and my mom too) these looks. They promised not to laugh. How promising? Only a one-year-old friend told me to give it a shot. I used to be able to do anything without being afraid of judgements. Now I am bothered. What is happening to me? Are these signs of aging?

I’m going to do it.. Now help me decide which?

This...

Or This??

Habitually, I looked up into the sky as I sat rather comfortably on this day bed chair waiting for my seamless transport. I call it day bed chair cause the seat was so long one third of my legs was left hanging off the edge.  The weather was kind; the sky was cloud covered, the breeze ever so gently caressing my face as the plants waves to greet all in the vicinity. I am thankful I am still breathing…

Up in the sky, I saw a bird flying. I found the answer I have always asked but never had the time to address even though it is the simple act of looking up into the sky.

“Why do we always draw birds like these?” These referred to birds looking like a fat flat m with a horizontal line across the middle vertical line.

Today, the bird I saw flying in the sky looked exactly like how I have always drawn my birds in a landscape. Maybe I had found the answer a long time ago, but today will be the day that I will never forget the answer.

Besides the story I shared yesterday, life has it that another 22 year old died whilst running the marathon. Another teen was stabbed at the MacDonalds I frequent. “If its time, its time, fit or not…” as my wise bestie said.

I shall resolute to look up into the beautiful sky above me more often and be glad I am still breathing.

This defines happiness.

Was just shared the story of a death of someone and it struck me how life can just be like the flame on the candle, being blow off completely without anyone’s knowledge. This boy hadn’t even moved onto the second phase of his life. After being hit in the head and dismissed as fine, he never woke up.

Just like that, his parents lost a son, his grandparents lost a grandson, his best friend lost a best friend, his friends lost a friend…

I stepped in thinking I had gone to the wrong place as it was dark. The light from the window only provided outline of 2 individuals. As I walked closer, I figured I was where I was supposed to be. The Justice of Peace was sharing his thoughts on marriage. I couldn’t agree more, all these while tearing despite it being a joyous occasion.

She hadn’t had the easiest of paths to walk through but she had met the one who will be there to hold her hand when she needs him. I was very happy because she has finally found happiness after very trying past years. I wish you both happiness.

The Only Female Guests With The Couple

As the train door beeped to close, one man dashed into the train. The moment the door shut behind him, he instinctively turned around to face it as most people do on the train. He realised he had left his other half on the platform. He smacked his palm to his head. The lady looked pissed.

How would you still be able to trust someone who lets go of you at such a point? I have no idea. Gosh after a day I must say this actually does cheer me up.

One tiring afternoon, whilst trying very hard to keep awake, I received this text. I can’t deny that it had brought a smile to my face. One of the weirdest request I have ever received yet I am glad I received it.

As we grow older, such times are diminishing from our lives. All we are concerned about is work, work and more work. When we meet up, we talk about work. When we text each other, its also about work. We stop giving and asking for that assurance to our close friends; to let them know we are there for them and vice versa.

So yes Juls, even if I’m really busy, I’ll be there to hold your hand, literally or not.
