All in a typical day~

A good friend told me something which I really didn't want to know...
It made dejected... =(

My big boss approved my paper which I spent few months working on within 2 hrs after submission...
I was elated! I felt 5 kg lighter, maybe 10kg~~ =)

Joking with my colleagues over lunch and giving silly English names to those with only Chinese names...
Made me laugh my lungs out and be amazed at how creative policy-writers can be... =P

Knowing that colleagues left a mini magnum (though I would prefer other flavours) at my desk after I came back from a discussion...
Made me feel loved and not forgotten... Brightened up my day! ^-^

Took the train back to Serangoon Station with a colleague who used to be from my department....
She made me realise that time really flies.... What have i achieved and what do I want moving forward? Confused...

While walking home, I overheard a family at storey 2 shouting and screaming at one another..
I felt sorry for them, and fortunate at the same time... That I have a wonderful and loving family =)

I saw a stranger playing hide-and-seek with his dog at the void deck, the poor little dog looked lost and forlorn while searching.. I pointed the dog to the direction in which its owner was hiding, and eventually it was back into the owner's embrace...
I felt amused... that I was actually part of the hide-and-seek~ and touched coz the little doggy found its owner =)

These little and simple events in a day actually felt so real and precious~
Amidst the multitude of emotions experienced in a simple day, I secretly wish for something else...

Intoxicate me now~

Finding yourself

By looking inward to what is there
Not knowing if at all you can bare
What is hiding in the corners of your soul
If it is right or even whole

That which dwells inward, take care of what you see
Take care of all that is, or ever will be
Seeing everything up close no one else can
finding yourself is when you truly win

You must take all the good with the bad
Do not shy away or be sad
You must look on with clear mind
To see yourself and what you will find

Be brave, bold, and truthful too
Hold your head high and look deep within you
