Old Maids and Moving on...
It has been awhile since I saw the face of this blog...quite sad, considering my passion for writing. Nevertheless..life is BUSY at the moment and I've to prioritise. But the good thing is that this rigarmole will END within the next 2 weeks...then a week more for EXAMS..and I'm free!
Free to enjoy my life..School literally sucks the blood out of it. I may be doing fine academically but loose out on spending quality time with my family, especially mom, loose out on my other hobbies like reading extensively, painting and music practise. Even though I like the nature of our course...sometimes too much of a good thing can be quite bad. period.
Anyways...lets get to the interesting portion. Recently, after weeks of hearing complaints from mom, I finally cleaned up my act (literally) and got my old box of papers in the attic settled.
Its this little red box with years worth of wonderful letters and cards (including many hand-made ones) that my friends wrote to me. From there I reproduce one of my favourites, that my buddy wrote to me during our last days of sec school.

Dear Megh!
So finally the time to get away is here. I don't know whether we are destined to meet after this day but thats life- you just have to keep moving, don't you?!
You, for one, are SO used to it. Your dad keeps getting his transfers and well your own life is a lesson in moving on..ain't it? But somethings in life are special. They hang in there. Not for now, not for today or tommorrow or for the many many days to come. They are there for a lifetime. Making you laugh and cry at the same time. Hard as they are, they still make life more beautiful and the character more evolved. They are like the novels we read in the library. The book is completed but the story remains, the flower withers but the smell lingers, people move on but their memories remain...Time is relentless and life keeps going on. Sometimes it moves away from the realms and shores we dreamt of, but in the wake of the new dawn we realise that these new realms are just where we were supposed to be. Haha...I feel like we're mini Tin-tins...going on unexplored adventures and getting (or atleast trying to get) the best we can off everything.
So yup, its time to close this secondary school chapter of our lives and get going on the bigger things. Its always like that ain't it? We moved from nursery to primary to secondary and now to Junior college....its just gonna be that way.
But the one thing I wish for you, now and forever is that you have many 'hang-in-there' special moments and meet many 'hang-in-there' special kind of people throughout your life. Also, I would like to confess that the biggest lesson that I take off this 'hang-in-there' relationship between us is your lesson of inculcating love within ourselves rather than seeking it outside. For when it resides within us, the warmth that it creates is enough to last us a lifetime.
Love always

Yeah well....Thats for this entry. Won't give away the name. But the girl was one of my real good friends and a solid writer.
Wishing each and everyone reading this blog a VERY BELATED...happy new year...and because I hate being this tardy...I'll wish all the Chinese folks reading this "Gongxi Fa Cai"..very, very much in advance:P

"Always..because forever isn't long enough": One Tree Hill (OTH)
I love the thoughts from OTH...and even though I wouldn't claim myself to be an avid fan, this thought lingered in my mind...
The difference in forever and always, I think, lies in the heart...So here are a few things that are an "always" for me:











1. "Babies are such a wonderful way to start off life"
2. My best friend and me..rather grouchy, early-morning pic of ours at my crib:)
3 & 4. The natural beauty at NZ: stunning...in every which way
5. Soft toys..I think I'll never quite give up on them...
So many more things...but dunno why blogger cannot upload more than 5 pics in an entry..wa liao..I got so much to say!
Ofcourse, another priceless, always and forever thing I have is a letter...with these words..will not reveal who wrote it to whom:
They say "we fell in Love" , but no, we can never FALL in love...for true love can only make us rise and be the best we are capable of being..
Love always.

Back at last
So...I was craving solitude and I got it to my hearts content. These few holidays ROCKED! Totally. Ok..I don't wanna sound pompous. It was funny how despite all the vagueness in my biological clock (NZ is 5 hours ahead of Singapore), the seemingly endless days (literally the sun doesn't set until like 8+ there) and the very tiring, long drives (we were on the road from 8am-8 pm on most days and on some from 7 am to 9pm)- I LOVED it...and now being back at Sg and to the same old mass comm rigarmole, I feel very mixed indeed. Am too tired to elaborate anymore, but will much rather post my debut NZ pics here on faceyourdestiny.....let the pictures speak their 1000 words...:)

Ok...there are too many good ones...shall post some more of my favourites later..here's a low down on these images: 1. Seagulls are quite prominent in NZ at the moment..here's a close up that took me awhile to take. 2. The Maori christmas tree- just beautiful. 3. Me at an arty locale in Skycity Auckland- my hotel. 4. Rabbit shearing- these German Angora's are damn cute! 5. Some of my fav. guys in a very funny Maori dance- from the right- nice old uncle, my bro and another funny fella in my acquaintance...wahahaha....some more GR8 pics..in the offing soon..somehow blogger didn't permit more pics in this one entry...
