Had a super duper long meeting tonight... Started at 7 plus and ended at 10 plus... So many things happening, so many things going to happen... But this entry is not going to be about the meeting. Instead, it is going to be about me!

Sometimes, I ask myself what I want out of life. Often, the answer is not clear. I know I want to travel, I know I want to experience working in other countries. I know I want to be surrounded by people I love. I want to be respected. On the other hand, I think I take a rather laid-back attitude on stuff...

Can't get a job? Nevermind lar...
Missed out on a grade by a bit? Don't bother appealing.
Things don't go my way? Oh well, other things may come along.

I guess I can say that I accept things as they come and as long as it is within some 'acceptable limits' that only my mind can fathom. And it helps to be optimistic about things. I guess I learnt my 'never say die' and 'nothing is impossible' attitudes from my mum. (Yah.. and I learnt 'Impossible is Nothing' from Adidas)

But that being said, it also doesn't mean that nothing can bring me down. I'm still exploring my limits, I still get pissed off, I still whine... But I live by a super cliche motto "Anything that doesn't kill me will only make me stronger"

Ok... just some thoughts of the moment.

It is good to cherish what you have, to be thankful for the people around you. Without my friends, there would be no one for me to whine to, no one to listen to me patiently, to put up with my nonsense.

I never realise how important my family is to me. I won't be who I am without my parents... From trivial things like my passion for Hongkong stuff (shows, singers, songs) to the way I live my life and the way I approach life.

I appreciate the closeness I share with my siblings. How we can crap with each other and don't shut each other out of our respective worlds. I like my sister's witty retorts and brilliant ideas. My brother's thoughtfulness and kindness. (Yeah, he picks me up from the bus stop if I reach home too late) Yes... simple gestures like that warms my heart and makes me feel truly blessed.

On hindsight, I may not be that good fren. I tend to turn up late, forget birthdays, overlook details. Not as meticulous as I would like to be to my friends.

It's been one of the most reflective entries for some time. Usually, I just steer clear of revealing too much about myself... but decided to pen these thoughts down today. No particular reason, no particular message to send out. Perhaps just for future reference.

Sometimes it is not good to keep pondering and weighing pros and cons (Like who will read it and how they feel after reading it). I realised I missed out blogging a lot of stuff. Usually, I don't bother to describe things in details. Now, it becomes a just blurry memory.

Reading my archives, I don't think I will make it as a 'famous' or 'infamous' blogger liks xiaxue or mrbrown that will command a huge following of readers. Yes.. you see this childhood dream of attaining 'celebrity' status (Must have read too many fairy tales).
