TGIF.

Don't think I've ever been so thankful that it's Friday: TGIF!
Or maybe not cause I still have work tomorrow :( Been working w the second sis for the last few days cause her parents went overseas with the elder sis and she's been left in charge of the office mehh. So it's back to the office for me too, doing as much as I can to help her keep operations going while the rest of the family is away.
 
Clean bandit ft Jess Glynne - Rather be
 
Myriad of songs I've been replaying lately and this is the latest fav. 
Been switching up my fav song every couple of days cause there's a sudden influx of songs I'm equally in love with. Talk bout fickle right? Hahaha but when it comes to music, there's just so many good artists and songs out there. 
 
Speaking of music, bought my tickets to my first ever proper concert. One that isn't coral or a musical and I'M SUPER EXCITEDDDDDDD :D especially since they're one of my favourite groups to date and I'll be going with my girls so I REALLY CAN'T WAIT!
 
 
This work-home life balance thing is some seriously hard stuff, with their family helper not around at the moment we both go home to all the housework and I'm in charge of cooking again (I JUST CAN'T ESCAPE THIS!!!! Been doing it at home and now at the sissy's place too) Makes me think my mum is honestly super woman to be able to come home after work and cook almost everyday LOVE YOU MUMMY. YOU DA BEST <3
 
Life of a working woman who has a family = not easy manz All I wanna do is just nua on the bed after I cook, eat and shower. Actually that's kinda all I've been doing w the sis after work the last few days. Really do respect my sis for being able to handle the company on her own though, she's another superwoman seriously.

Can't wait for Sunday after tuition class when I can finally take a break and just sleep. Hi Sunday afternoon, could you please come a little quicker? Pleaseeee.

Answer.

Coldplay - A sky full of stars

One of the most played songs on my playlist recently
3 weeks of neglecting this space and it's about time I got back to it! In a sense it might be a good thing? I've been occupied with the important people in my life, and less by the little troubles I have from time to time. Less of a reason for me to write, more of a reason for me to be happy.

Officially my second week off work and I'm on lepak mode (as best as I can at least) Baking, cooking, eating, reading, catching up w old friends and spending more time w Dad. It's been an eventful 3 weeks though, with the first trip among the cousins to HK, gatherings w the tkg girls (after so long), meeting Yijia after more than a year <3 and college day on Sat.

Been spending more me time too, making a bigger effort to do the things that make me happy :) Getting to know more people better too, people I didn't think I would know on such a level with what has happened. And in a sense just letting life happen.

I've made my decision on NUS.
After a lot of thought (I would say) I've rejected that opportunity. I understand that some people who genuinely care are concerned about my choice and then there are also some people who are just concerned so that I can become another of their gossiping topics as they get together (funny how they think I do not realize this though hmmm). But the latter is pretty secondary to how I feel after making this decision. At this point in time of my life, this is what I feel is best for me. It's not that I'm not afraid of the consequences of this decision, it's just that I think even so I will be gladly willing to take it as it comes to me. I'm just thankful for the support my family and friends give me in this decision. Hopefully this is the right decision for myself. Or rather, I'm going to try to make it the right decision for myself.

Read an extract from a book recently, and I was kinda shocked by how accurately it defined things that I sometimes worry over:

 " The world has no answer.
Don't look for an answer. With every decision, the right and wrong answer coexist.
Wise people make a decision and work towards making it the right choice
Foolish people make a decision and regret making a wrong choice.
The world has no right answer, but there is a process to making a decision a right answer."


Better words of advice couldn't have come to me at this point in time with this decision. Kinda glad I stumbled upon it. Guess it's really right when people say: we are now exactly where we are meant to be at this point in time of our lives. Some way or another things always work it's way out, doesn't it?Whatever it is, whether or not the choice was ours: accepting the situation and trying to make the best out of it, those words really do make sense.

Took me awhile to realize all that, but I'm pretty glad right now I see clearly enough to know irregardless of what has happened, I can only get tougher and stronger as a person. Maybe that's life; getting better with each disappointment, failure, heartache. At the end we all have to die, it's about looking back and saying "I've survived and it's been a good journey".

Yeah, I would like to live my life as best as I can from now, to look back happy with what I've done.
