be aware of your surroundings...
don't rush through life and leave not knowing what has happened or have regrets.
went to a farewell party at Tapas Tree in Clarke Quay. really nice and cosy place to sit around with friends. the sofa chairs are not really comfortable though. sort of sink into it and gets so comfortable that getting out of it is really tough. ladies...don't wear short skirts. :)
whatever it is, it was a great night with wonderful company. there was even a 3-man band that's supposed to be walking around serenading the guests but there were just too many of us and they could just stand at one spot to perform. very nice.
after that, just felt like walking home alone. it feels good having the breeze in my face, listening to the sounds that the different vehicles make, feel the ground tremble when a big one goes pass, watch the many people walking around. makes me wonder what their day was like, what they had for lunch, where are they heading to.
passed by a pub and there was a live band playing. such beautiful music. stood there to listen for a while before moving on. passed by coffee shops with friends and family sitting around enjoying each others' company. some with children running around. passed by bus stops with exhausted looking people. looked into a company called Jackson. didn't know what they are dealing with but was attracted to a whole wall of nice paintings and another wall with shelves full of books. can't make out what books they were though. too dark to see. hmm...maybe the paintings were photographs. will make a point to have a look in the day for a clearer view.
overall, a pleasant walk along the river and around the neighbourhood. this has got to be the shortest route home by walking - 45 mins. used to take me about an hour to one and a half hours. walks home from the clarke quay or river valley area are reminders for me to LOVE AND RESPECT MYSELF. many memories along this stretch of road and inside some of the buildings. all learning experiences that has made me who i am today.
be aware of my surroundings...don't let life pass me by.
i am living my passion and i refuse to be shortchanged by anyone or anything.

be open...be ready...for opportunities when they come
went for a networking session after work. stepped in and thought i was at the wrong event. felt like i've stepped into mini-china. it was mandarin everywhere. no one seemed to know what i was asking in english!
saw the signboard and confirmed i was at the right place. went to the reception desk, looked at the books they had there, asked for the price and they gave it to me in MYR! we are in singapore, why would i want to know the price in MYR?? asked for the SGD price, the lady took the calculator, pressed some numbers, put it down and started talking to her colleague...didn't tell me anything and totally ignored me.
WHAT IS THIS?? where is the MnY spirit? i didn't feel the closeness, the warmth or the friendliness. decided to go home but didn't get into the lift when it arrived. thought to myself, "what do i have to lose? since i'm here might as well stay and see how the night goes and boy am i glad i stayed. i've gained from the evening. i'm inspired and a great night of networking. there are people from china, taiwan, usa, malaysia and a few other countries i didn't remember. DC was great, Wilson was fantastic and Jannie Tay from Hour Glass was also there!
there is a decision to bring MnY back to Singapore and i can't wait to be a part of it. i want to be totally involved. i want to make a difference. the night has given me more clarity of what i have been wondering about in the last few weeks. now i'm ready to start the ball rolling.
YIPPEE! life is great, life is fun. life is full of opportunities. be open and you'll see it when it comes....ALOHA!
