I think my greatest 2 takeaways are:

1. Timing is everything
2. I need some freshness in my life homg. And I hate routine.... homg. Ded. 

"Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint"

.

"We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time 

When we hesitate in being direct, we unknowingly slip something on, some added layer of protection that keeps us from feeling the world, and often that thin covering is the beginning of a loneliness which, if not put down, diminishes our chances of joy.

It’s like wearing gloves every time we touch something, and then, forgetting we chose to put them on, we complain that nothing feels quite real. Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world but to unglove ourselves so that the doorknob feels cold and the car handle feels wet and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another being, soft and unrepeatable." - The Book of Awakening

The amount of inertia I have to face to even touch the telephone. oh. my. god.

Can I just say that the best feeling is when you've got a plan about what you wanna with your life or at least a rough guide of what you want to do with your life. Feels like there is a light guiding your choices, your decisions, your everyday life.

Instead of feeling lost and aimless and wandering around and floating like a ball in the ocean or like a plastic bag drifting through the wind. Ohgawd can I just say I hate that feeling.

And you can look forward to what you wanna do, look forward to something, and thinking about your plans just gets you excited about your life, yknow life's great! And right now, I just know that I wanna take nice pictures, doesn't matter where I go for grad trip, I just wanna have some nice shots as takeaways. So right now, I needa find someone that has the same interest as I do right cuz the trip will be so much more pleasurable with buddies of the same expectations and interests.

Boy can I just say that I have no idea where this sudden enlightenment came from. It must be that 10 hr sleep I had ytd that suddenly cleared the friggin fog in my brain. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that I had teeeerrrrible tummy-ache ytd and I just had to sleep it away. Anyways... HI WORLD, IM THINKING CLEAR AGAIN.

Still the ripples;
Calm the waters;
Clarity of the mind

So couple of days back I was praying for me to somehow become richer and like for some money to fall from the sky cos these recent social/ graduation/ welcoming-new-hamsters expenses are running a little high ya. But since I don't rlly buy 4D and I don't rlly gamble, I didn't rlly know how that was gonna happen either. Low and behold, just earlier this morning I received a text to go for a focus group. The payout was goooood + I haven't attended any of such focus groups before so was pretty curious. And JUST NICE the session was today!!! Which was rlly great cuz I wouldn't have been able to attend had it been on any other days of the week.

Upon reaching, registered, signed some form and while waiting for the others to arrive...


Alright so they prepared a spread of pizzas, tarts, cakes, drinks and all for us to EAT bef the session started. So nice! On normal occasions I would have been eating a lot but... didn't know we were gonna be providing food so I ate some beancurd bef that... HAD I KNOWN I would have saved my tummy for the tarts 😌😍

Ok so anw, I felt like a freshie again orientating amongst the other uni peeps. Initially I didn't open much ah cuz like they just threw us w free food, the host wasn't there for like 20 minutes, no instructions no nothing and we were just left to mingle WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPENING hahaha and one of the NTU guy was saying maybe they were like secretly filming how we react in a social situation. Then I was like OHYEA that made sense, cuz there was this rlly huge mirror that spanned the whole wall which looked rlly scammy lah and yes, turns out it was a one way mirror cos I could actl see someone's hand waving pass at one corner LOL

Overall I'd say it was an interesting experience ah to see how a focus group is being done. I don't think I had any problems voicing out my thoughts or opinions in front of strangers so it was cool. Just like mingling lor. The person said I was v nice HAHA actl I think so too - cuz I'd bother to give the ad a second look rather than just ignore and flat out say I'LL IGNORE & WALK AWAY as some ppl did ahahah

And the best part of it all was receiving mah paycheck!!! Woohoo panggang

Like froth in the ocean;
Like salt in the breeze;
An inkling of a memory;
Of what could have been
