Random thoughts on a lazy Sunday afternoon

Got up at 12:30pm (went to bed at 9:30pm last night). Starving.
Had porridge with soy milk while reading the newspaper.
So cold outside, don’t wanna move. How about going back to bed?
The house is a mess, dishes needed to be done, my room needs vacuuming.
Want to go to Machu Picchu.
Craving to drink some French wine.
Need a hair treatment, too many split ends.
Like this quote ->> “Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.”
What's wrong with the Melbourne weather? It's only autumn but it's bloodly freezing!
Fingers can't type properly, brain not working.

So sick.........

Disappointed to once again, experience the ugliness of the human nature. Why can’t everyone be nice to each other? Why do we have to bitch and talk behind people's back? Sarcasm. Office politics. I am soooooo sick of it.

Family

FAMILY is the big word these 2 weeks.

Sister is having an operation tomorrow. Though small and relatively safe and is just a day surgery, the family, mum in particular, is still worried. Mum always says that when she sees us going through pain or sadness of any sort, she feels for us so much she rather goes through it herself. I guess this is natural for all mums to think like that. When we are in pain, mum suffers just as much. Please pray for my sister. Please pray for my mum too.

Brother will be leaving next week and embark on his journey to have a crack at the business world overseas. I somehow feel bad that I can’t help him much as we are in very different career fields. All I could do is to ask some of my friends if they have any connections. It’s very tough out there. Truly wish him good luck and all the best.

Luckily, Mum and dad are doing fine. No dramas, no arguments. I was actually very impressed that they sneaked away together to an afternoon tea at the winery 2 weeks ago. They deserve more quality time together.

Family……how's my life’s gonna be without my family?

Congratulations

My brother added an extra something to put after his name today – MBA (Melb). Well done bro! So proud of you.

Mum and dad got really excited last night, busy picking outfits for the occasion, making sure their colours matched that of my brother’s academic dress – hood of skyblue-lined black silk with gold band. Quite nice actually.

It was a freezing autumn morning, with rain drizzling. While it was hard to leave our electric blanketed beds, everyone was ready and we left the house at 8:30am. Not to mention that my sister and I had to fight for the hair dryer.

Before the ceremony, it was, of course, photos taking opportunities. It was lots of fun, everyone took turns to take pics with my brother, mum & dad, mum only, dad only, then the two sisters, then mum & the girls, then the whole family……so many “combinations”, you name it.

Have to laugh at my dad though. He brought the full professional set of camera with him, with the stand and extra long lens and many more…..but have to admit, the picture quality is so much better than those from the digital cameras. He was enjoying himself too and that's good.

Now, a short afternoon nap before another celebratory dinner tonight.

A book worth reading again

Just finished "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry. http://www.freshlimesoda.com/reviews/mistry.htm

It's an okay book to me, a tragi-comedy, but won't agree with the bookstore's manager as her best book ever read so far this year. Anyway, I am glad I read it.

What's next? It's time to find another book to read. I find bedtime reading relaxes my mind, helps relieve stress, helps me sleep better, and as I seldom get too excited reading a book till the early mornings, I am always reading.

hm....how about re-reading "Follow your heart" by Andrew Matthews?

As I desperately need some new insights and wisdom in life, I might actually do that.

Hope it helps!

Trying

It's been dark in here.

Starting to see some light now.

Trying to find a way out.

Give me some time.

Getting there.
