Yesterday, I met my sis for lunch at far east. We ate at her favourite indonesian food restaurant, Esteler 77. Actually, I don't like Indonesian food as much because even when the dishes are spicy, they tend to have a sweet taste to them, which is what i dislike the most. However, my sister's order which was fried chicken rice was extremely tasty, only that I didn't order that due to the deep-fried chicken. Haha. I'm not being health conscious but it's just that sometimes I go for "healthier" choices. Anyway, later I just bought a pair of shoes, so did my shopaholic sister.

Later, we went to the optician because my sister's lower eyelid was so swollen, her right eye was practically sagging. Goodness! I could tell that she was going through a lot of pain. The optician, where my whole family goes to said that it was just some bacterial infection and it was very typical. Anyways, that was my day and as usual, I went to shop in the evening.

I'm learning how to cook certain dishes now and I'm sure that it's going to be very helpful for me in future. Like I said before, I really enjoy cooking, it's just that it can get really puzzling at times when there are too many ingredients to use and you forget when to put the right thing in. I guess PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT!
That's all for now.

Actually, nowadays, nothing much happens and my life has all of a sudden become so routined. I feel like that are many things that I want to do, that I'd really like to do, but I can't. Maybe, it's just meant to be this way. I still remember Mrs. Anantha saying that I'll still have to find time to enjoy. I guess she's right because anyone is just bound to dislike what they're doing if what they're doing doesn't give them time and space to do what they enjoy. Yup, anyone, even a cleaner at a hawker centre deserves a break!

Speaking of that, I really can't wait for our trip to Bintan in a few weeks time. My family and I are going and this is really the 1st time that I'm travelling to somewhere near Singapore with my family, besides India. I love the feeling when the breeze blows through your hair when you're in the beach filled with salty white sand and cool, calm waters. It's something close to paradise. Just hope that I'll be able to rewind there. I can't wait.

Since, I'm going on this trip, I'll be missing puyal. I know that my friends would understand since this is a family thing. Still, can empathize how it feels when you're really expecting someone to come for sth but the person can't make it. I'm really sorry guys.
Well, I guess no pain no gain!

I realize that hardwork does not really apply to just studies. When a housewife is at home washing the dishes, doing the laundry, preparing for meals, lloking after the kids. All this is also sheer hardwork. The same applies to a working woman, a construction worker, a provision shop owner etc.

You know, a lot of people believe that me being in shop and helping out is equivalent to experiencing holidays. Well, I suppose that that's just external view. In real fact, being in shop everyday, dealing with customers with all kinds of characters, missing out lots of family time etc. are the things that are really going on. I can tell you that I don't considerthis as a holiday. I guess my family has put me through this only to realize what hardwork means. leading an easy life really should never be a choice to anyone who wishes to succeed in life. I'm really grateful to my family for letting me go thorugh all these. At first it felt like an ordeal to me, very enervating, esp. because of my allergy to dust. But I know that all these obstacles that I had had to take in my stride are things that have shaped me to become stronger and more matured in life. Now, I feel that I'm able to steer myself in the direction I really want to go towards my goal. I'm not trying to earn sympathy or boast my efforts to anyone. There's no need for me to.But I know that there are many people who empathize with thefeelings that I experienced in the beginning in shop. So, here's something to those who feel lost and thinking what they're working so hard for, doing something they dislike.

Reading some of my friends' blogs, I realize how much disappointments or longings in love can hurt someone. Also, I'm surprised at the way they handle it, so subtely and with so much control over their feelings. I really admire them.
That's it for now.

Goodness! I think that today's trip to jb was probably the most boring and disappointing trip that I've ever had. As in, my eldest bro , my nephew and I went, esp. to catch this comedian's movie. It ended up a totally disappointing and one of the very few movies that I eagerly wanted to end asap. Well, that was a different experience anyway.

What that cheered me up most is the cake that my bro bought for my nephew and me at pan pacific hotel there. The people there practise real good hospitality and I felt very warm there, though it was only for a short while. Then, we were caught in an unexpected traffic jam on the way back. It was unexpected as our way to jb was a total breeze, we were accompanied only by one single car!

As usual my nephew and I had great playing with each other and passing time on the way back. I guess after all, it wasn't as bad as I thought. :)

FiR*stly,
Happy chinese new yr to all my chinese friends!

Yesterday I went with my family to east coast. It was really fun with my cousin brother joking a lot. I felt really very nice and elated when I was cycling alone, astray from my family, feeling the breeze blowing gently through my hair. It was good. It was a family outing where we just relax, have fun and enjoy! It's just that we get to do it once in a long while, so it feels really very enjoyable and pleasurable.

A couple of days back, I wnet back to jc and saw my friends and it was really heartening to speak and laugh with them at the exact same spot, just like the old days! I was really moved when some of them whom I'm not as close to came to speak to me as usual too. :)

Well, I guess that there's nothing much left, except that I'm really exhaisted and can hear my bed calling out to me!
tata.

Love,
