bittersweet solitude of a fireflower


Love Actually Is All Around

This is going to be so random.

But I started thinking of Love Actually’s Portuguese Love Theme.

And I so want this song to be played at our wedding. :)

It never fails to make me feel so warm and fuzzy deep within.

最初的感动,永远在我心底。

:)

Can’t wait for next week!

NYC, I’m Comin’ For Ya

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can’t do

I’ve been posting quite a bit lately.

Perhaps it’s an attempt to vegetate my mind and indulge this (mentally) fatigued self with some soul food.

Like, great music.

And feel like 18 again.

20 again.

21 again.

24 again.

Anywhere but 24++++++++++++++.

I seek solace in these tiny little pockets of time,

closing my eyes and bobbing my head to the 4/4 beat,

running my hair through my fingers, hoping to untangle those (unnecessary) worries away,

tapping on the new toy trying to get perfect scores for Sally’s Spa,

doing all sorts of things, wishing that I can run away.

I just wish I could master the art of emotional distancing.

Perhaps, I will feel much better that way.

Yes, I MUST believe that all will go well.

Wow!

Time flies.

And I’m down with a bad flu and a horrible cough.

Sian to the max.

Scolded my students today for not handing in their work. Hope it will wake up their idea big time!

Feeling kinda sian because I was quite upset over how my students didn’t hand in their work on time.

Despite the fact that I know how to deal with them, I just feel so… 烦. A bit 很失败的感觉.

Oh well. Hopefully I’ll feel better soon.



Raffles’ Envisioning

Was helping my colleague move house yesterday (yes, a few hours after the mahjong session), and I could never fail to be awed by the view from up there.

Raffles Town Plan, circa 2010

Amazing, what a man from 1819 could envision.

The four of us had lots of fun on four wheels.

And Jumbo seafood was good, ‘cept that the boys wanted a lot more crab but the waitress had suggested a portion too little.

Conquered 15km in all! Not bad ;)

Another week over, another weekend here.

Need to really make full use of the weekend to recuperate and be myself again.

TGIF! Bobby’s, Chijmes

Cheers to surviving another week!
