Sketches of My Life

A story every now and then..

2022-10-04T19:50:00.003+08:00

A trip down memory lane,

A thought of the what ifs,

A branch of multiple branches,
A dot in the rich timeline.

For every dots in that plane,
For every fickle thought flowing,
For every hurtful bites,
For every wonder, every while.

To where it takes, to where it ends,
Let’s take a step, a step once at a time..

Picture says it all...

What better way to keep something than a picture?

The old young one

2015-07-09T02:51:00.001+08:00

That's when the body says: "Enough!!" Funny how old a young one has now been, and yet it is still early days. The peak is just barely visible yet...

Between stable static and steepy slope..

2015-07-02T03:15:00.002+08:00

A moment of absurdity, or ridiculousness, or ludicrousness, or idiocy, or silliness, or... ahh, whatever you call it that leads me back to my dusty blog..

It's just that 24 hours are barely enough for what I plan and hope to do nowadays, even with one extra second which barely matters...

Food for thought - Between stable static and steepy slope, what say you?

"I feel very proud of my team, very proud of the season we did. We lost the championship but we didn't lose it here in Brazil, we lost it elsewhere but this is sport. But you have to be proud when you do something with your heart".

A Brief Greeting to the World who Read this Dusty Blog~

2011-10-26T16:04:00.001+08:00

Just a hi to this dusty blog,
after a long time left to rust,
if you wonder where the writer went,
feel free to visit http://www.ey.com/my/en/home,
a place he spent for god-knows-how-many-hours of his 168 hours week,
a simple brief post,
and here comes the bye once again,
off he went to enjoy the holiday that is hard to come bye~

The Purpose Driven Life [Rick Warren]

2011-08-30T21:09:00.002+08:00

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

So what do you have to say now, Najib? That it's illegal again? Think you can ignore it again? Think wisely before you speak the next time out...

It's been awhile...

2011-05-08T12:49:00.001+08:00

The peace blue, those tears shed,
passing of days of white, and so goes days of dark,
happenings aplenty, some atop, plenty down the hill,
sometimes it soars, but many, it dripped...
Ahead ahead few thousand miles ahead,
but obscure, too obscure, everywhere, everything...
Little inroads, many divisions,
but here, a little of a prose to begin,
it's been a long while, after all...

64...

2011-02-18T21:00:00.005+08:00

Just 64 hours left,
a double-digit,
about 2 days,
how bad or good,
well............,
finally~~~

Wings of an Eagle...

2011-02-13T00:00:00.000+08:00

To stretch it out big,
to stretch it out wide,
to the clear blue sky,
limitless, borderless,
to the place where dreams lies,
but first, the present reality,
bidding its time,
unknown of to others,
there the dreams slowly stretched its wings...

Rabbit Year...

2011-02-06T00:00:00.000+08:00

CNY is here...
Nah, it was a boring one...
As usual,
nothing extraordinary..
On the other hand,
15 more days to come...
15 days to determine the path thereafter..
Oh, how I long this day to come sooner...
So here we go,
what will this new year brings?

You & I - Secondhand Serenade

2011-01-25T12:17:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling distracted

And likewise attracted
To all the things that you let me know
To all the things that you can't let go

You're waiting for friction
This empty addiction
Is forcing me to intervene
Let's break out of this scene

I known I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I

I watch you take over
I'll give you this offer
Take my hand and we will run away
Leave behind our past to stay
Decaying till its rotten
We'll have long forgotten
The memories that will haunt your heart

Let's tear this town apart
I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I

We watched the world go by
(But if it's you and I)
Then we will never die
(No we can never die)
We watch the world go by
But if it's you and I
Then we will never die

I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I
I know I'm not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let you go
I could watch the world pass by
Just as long as it's you and I
You and I...

Villain of Me...

2011-01-15T06:00:00.000+08:00

I am me,
me is myself,
I am my biggest enemy,
my biggest enemy is myself,
me being lazy,
me hurt people,
me being an idiot at times,
me somewhat hopeless at times,
what remedies are there?

Unemployed...

2011-01-11T03:02:00.001+08:00

2 interviews,
but I'm still jobless!
Well, at least till my results come out.
Got the offer for both,
turn down 1,
and if everything goes well,
I shall be in Ernst & Young by March...
41 days more, long more to go....

Gloomy Days, Better Days...

2011-01-11T00:00:00.003+08:00

Just 11 days passed,
a mere 11,
but so much gloom caused,
a wish for them to go,
and instead,
looking forward to better days...

2011!

2011-01-02T18:07:00.001+08:00

2011,

the beginning of a lot of things,

the ending of another year...

So how did mine began? It started with killing a cockroach (pity it, it's just 2 hours left to the new year.. xP), watching the anime at home, and then fell asleep, a peaceful new year at home with my baby Chin EveLyn, albeit with some 'cockroach fear' syndrome round the night.

Lots of things didn't go as planned in 2010, including the last day of the year itself. Of all the days, why must it be a public holiday that day? It's not like we won the World Cup! Arghhh... And now I couldn't collect my new I/C as planned, nor have I received my interview outcome at E&Y yet!

Singapore with baby was great! We went there together with her sister and brother-in-law for 4 days and 3 nights, lots and lots of walking, tiring but fun! Not to mention the awesome shots from Lee at Esplanade in my previous post, thanks Lee! =) Plenty of shopping and sightseeing, and yet we ended up still having extras from our budget..

And interview was......well, I don't think it's that bad. At least mine is a one-on-one interview. And the interviewer was very friendly too! Though I did actually get very nervous before and during the interview, with a bit of luck, hopefully I'll start my job there in about a week time.

All thoughts on 21st of February, I do hope that I pass all my exams, or else...I hate to think of the prospect of having to re-take my papers so so much......ah, forget it for now...

So there, before I end this, Happy 2011 people! May 2011 brings you joy, success and much happiness! =)

P.S. Let's stay sweet and close like we were always baby, not just 2011, but forever throughout our life! ;)
