Change
These months, Life has been wonderfuL thus far; I have found a stabLe job, am in a happy reLationship, my famiLy are supportive of whatever choices I made and I get to catch up with the peeps once a whiLe at their matches now that I am not abLe to pLay.
But come September, there wiLL be a sLight addition to my LifestyLe - studies.
It wouLd LiteraLLy change the way I manage my time now and deep down, I do hope that despite that being priority, the more important things in my Life are here to stay.
As a Laid back simpLeton, I seriousLy hate changes, but for the better, we need to adjust and adapt.
Things can onLy be good, and better.
P.S to the gf,
Even as the roads do not aLways seem smooth,
You chose to traveL it with Me.
Thanks for your consistent support, Love, and confidence.

When Times Change
I remembered myseLf as one who Loved reading fiction so much that every book I read, I got fascinated and start to write a Lot as weLL. No doubt, reading had given me a creative fLair that I somewhat seem to have Lost, with time.
As the enthusiastic reader ages and get busier, with Less time, he has since stopped reading books. Writing is now reduced Like an endangered specie on the brink of extinction.
That shouLd not happen, for reading is a joy, and gives one much pLeasure and at times, bring him to a worLd of fantasy, away from the crueLty of reaLity.
Maybe, he shouLd just start hoLding a book once again.

I want to scribbLe something today ... and so I did.
After a much eventfuL two weeks, I am just darn gLad Life is coming back to simpLicity after this week .. I hope.
Without footbaLL, Life has aLready been pretty duLL. But its ironic how you Lost, and found even better - a Love worth giving for.
Let's just hope Her event goes weLL on Sunday morning.

A Touch of Humanity
As I entered the train on a typicaL Monday morning, aLL set to go to work, I stood amongst aLL others who were Like me, boarding the same train, traveLing to the same office every singLe week day.
On this day though, there was something different that I observed. I saw a seated man communicating with a standing Lady .. in hand signs.
As I observed Longer, it seemed that seated beside the man is his wife, and their chiLd of about five years. And this man, is communicating with a stranger who was deaf, Like him. I got more interested and kept observing. If my very own transLation was nothing short of accurate, the man is describing about how his wife has been abLe to communicate with him, via some LittLe hand signs, and to read his faciaL expressions. The man then aLighted with the chiLd, as the two Ladies bade them goodbye.
My attention was then turned to the other woman, the man's spouse. I took onLy five seconds, and aLL I couLd give her for a first impression, was that she must have been a great woman. It cannot be easy to understand without words, to communicate without speech and to give support just being by the side of the other haLf she chose, but she did aLL these.
Somehow, mereLy in a matter of seconds, this woman has aLready gathered the very respect that I have for a unique Love as such.
This Love is utmost extraordinary worth envying.
NevertheLess, I myseLf have experienced the good feeLing of Love too. Not as remarkabLe, yet simpLe and sweet in the good company of onLy Her.

A LittLe Dreamy, A LittLe Bumpy
Workwise has not been anywhere as satisfactory. No doubt it is a good change, but somehow, the job scope is by far a LittLe unsuitabLe for a big man Like me.
On the other hand, my reLationship with DeL has been great and its astonishing just how fast one month has gone. We spent Loads of time getting to know about one another, having heLL Lots of fun, Laughing and being happy, and so far, aLL I can say is I am stiLL pretty much amazed.
.. to be continued.

Daddy's Day
Twenty-six years back when I was born, I have neither cLue nor idea how a good father shouLd be Like, for it had aLways been Mom who was there. Not untiL she remarried 12 years Later that I reaLised .. the key to being a great father is one BIG word to bear - responsibiLity.
It takes more than a great man to accept a woman aLong with three kids, but he was that. And up untiL this day, despite few words between us throughout the years, my respect for him has never dwindLed.
A good dinner with the whoLe famiLy and partners on Father's Day, nothing wouLd have been more perfect than a simpLe reunion with the company of our Love.
I do not know the Love of a father to a son, but having spent most of my chiLdhood without, I know exactLy what a chiLd needs of a father. And for that, in time to come, I beLieve my chiLdren shouLd be Lucky enough to find a super dad in me. SmiLes!

Kicking the Habit
Biting finger naiLs is as addictive as smoking. You do not crave for it, but somehow, if you do not bite them, you feeL uneasy. This has been a chiLdhood habit and for years now.
Therefore, the best effective way to prevent human beings from doing the unwanted, is via ... FINES.
Since about a week ago, my Lady has roLLed out the system and so far, the resuLts have been pretty positive - she is Looking at a net income of $16 from fines as of yesterday. And the onLy way I can stop seeing my bucks go down, is to kick the habit out of my Life.
It was a success on 18 June 2010. Not a doLLar was added to the totaL fines.
.. and then when I reach home, I bit aLL I couLd.
When You came aLong
And stood by me
I am Everything that I wasnt
Cause You, CompLete my Life. - Long, 19 June 2010

Chain Effect
Every decision that one makes, wiLL affect another's Life in one way or another.
In my Life, I have made severaL choices that have mouLded some to where they are now, and aLso caused some to be what they are. On the other hand, there are peopLe who made a big difference to my Life as weLL, be it good or bad.
I wouLd not say that for the bad that happened, bLame shouLd be Laid on those who effected them, but somehow Life is a Learning process and I can onLy thank them for heLping me deveLop into a man as I am today.
ALL in aLL, as I Look back and see the present, even though I am nobody, I stiLL wake up every day being thankfuL for aLL that I have - peopLe that cares and that I care about.
That, to me, is more than enough to make me contented and happy.
.. weLL, of course, I am just a simpLe man.

Merry May
Every year as May comes, it never faiLs to fiLL a fuLL month of unexpected happenings, often for the good!
Two weeks into the new job, somehow, if without the daiLy morning prescription of vitamins from Somebody, the bLues are bound to haunt me throughout the days. So I do appreciate the LittLe things that Somebody has done for myseLf for the past few weeks.
June is here. Come what may .. Let us aLL embrace it with open arms!

A Weird Night
Having spent an evening out in town and reaching home at just past midnight, I simpLy cant get myseLf to sLeep, tossing and turning around my bed for and waking up every now and then untiL 3-ish in the morning.
Kinda weird .. since I drop dead aLmost immediateLy every singLe time I Landed on it. The brain must have been too hyper on this night.

五月
The month of May, Like aLL other months, is unique in its very own way. For me, this is a month where joyous occasions are ceLebrated - InternationaL Workers' Day, Mothers' Day, my birthday .. just to name a few.
This year in 2010 though, nothing couLd have been extra speciaL with a job switch to happen in the middLe of the month. With a soLo traveL in pLace from the 2nd tiL the 6th to Krabi, ThaiLand, I guess this must have been the best so far, despite having onLy 12 days passed.
On top of these, I happened to have more Luck in footbaLL too! Scored one goaL over the weekend for Premier FootbaLL cLub, scored another for my constituency team just today. With age, goaLs usuaLLy don't come often for me seriousLy .. sometimes it takes quite some months for one to come!
In enjoying my Leave for the past two weeks, there are things in the office where I am stiLL pretty much attached to. WeLL, I can choose to not give a heck about everything, but then, it wiLL definiteLy be reaLLy disastrous for the newbies Like DeLphina and AppLe. I think DeLphina shouLd reaLLy be gratefuL I chose to be a Samaritan, but no, I do not seek returns. Just that these two, Like previous interns and temps, inspires me to guide them towards the right direction as I am a firm beLiever that fundamentaLs are cruciaL in deveLoping a good staff in any organisation.
Its just days before I embark on my new job. Having met my new coLLeagues when dropping by my new workpLace to famiLiarise with the job, I beLieve I wiLL be exposed to many new Learning points. No doubt I couLd have taken the easy way out by staying put at PeopLe's Association, but how wouLd I have seen the worLd without moving on?
Tomorrow is an unknown patch. Where we have the present which is now, we shouLd aLways savour the moment. And I am darn gLad for the unusuaL things I have chosen to do, for that brings me the unexpected happenings, mostLy for the good!
Live your Life weLL, for being aLive is aLready a gift.

A Ferris WheeL Ride
You get enthusiastic upon seeing the grand, enormous wheeL. Upon entry, emotions run high as the adrenaLine rushes through your bLood. Reaching the very top, yet another tinge of excitement gets into you. And then, sLowLy, aLL emotions fade away as the wheeL descends .. untiL it comes to the point where you first embarked on. At the end of it, you Look back, and bring away an experience of going through aLL the stages of the WheeL itseLf.
Life is Like such ... but more Like a roLLer coaster. Except that at some phrases though, you might encounter something Like a Ferris WheeL experience - smooth, steady and quite predictabLe.
For myseLf, I think that my experience for the past two years is somewhat simiLar. But then, I think I have yet to descend and jumped straight out of it!
Come to think of it, whiLst I am stiLL dangLing at the peak of the WheeL, I wiLL enjoy aLL I can before jumping out of it .. in three weeks.
Meeting new peopLe in the organisation via participating in footbaLL and dragon boat rowing championships and attending courses, I guess aLL these came a LittLe Late to change my mind about departing PeopLe's Association.
But one thing is certain .. I wiLL consider PA once my degree is attained.
