Thursday is a significant day for me. It will mark the first year anniversary of my career in this company. Maybe will blog about it next time. Not this time.
Now is the time to talk about the beautiful things in life. And of course, the not-so-beautiful ones as well.
There is this show which I find interesting. Momento. I haven't really finished watching it. Because fell asleep halfway. That was some time last year when xiaolong came over my place and we had a movie marathon.. haha, didn't last thr the second show..
Anyway, this blog is dedicated to the beautiful things that have happened recently. Last week, an old hall friend asked me out for a dinner gathering. It turned out to be the birthday of our friend. I had known them since I was in my first year of university, and they are my very very good friends from Raffles Hall. One of the few good things that came out of staying in there.. Anyway, I was really touched that I was invited to the dinner, especially when we meet up like once a year. This may sounds weird, but among friends whom I consider close to me, I meet up with most of them like less than 3 times a year (with the exception of Jo, whom I meet up like every week... kao, no life...). But regardless of frequency, they are always close to my heart, and that is why they are so dear to me. Though every time I meet up with E and V, I would always suan them; deep down, they are like my sisters and I sincerely wish the best for them.
Met up with an ex-classmate on thursday. We used to study everyday together during our uni early years. Sometimes it feels funny that we are in different companies, coping with our own problems. Sometimes it saddens me to think that maybe we would never be like the past before. We almost never meet up after we started working. Fortunately, we finally meet up again. During our short lunch break, we talked about the uni times; we talked about our jobs now; we talked about our plans for the future; we talked about how our own weddings should ideally be like; and we talked and talked. For the very first time since I started working, I felt that this was the perfect lunch appointment. That was also when I stopped thinking about whether we will continue to keep in touch. It doesn't matter anymore. Now is now. We do not live in the past, nor do we live in futureland. What's matter is we are enjoying the moment.
Over the weekends, I attended a wedding, and two birthday parties. Sometimes I see a little of me in AY, and hence it was really nice attending her parties. In a way, she has managed to live part of my dreams, ie, to connect your friends together. That was a dream I had in my first year, and something which I did not execute fully. Nonetheless, it was good seeing that there are some other people in this world who see your vision and are living your dreams.
Last week was really really good. It's like everyday was well-lived. And yes, some unpleasant things did happen, but they weren't enough to spoil the week. I won't allow it. There are too many good things to celebrate than to care for the ones that does not matter as much. When one door closes, many others open. True, I have done some silly things last week, but isn't that what makes the memory sweeter. Isnt' that what makes you laugh at your own foolish acts when you are old. Everyone makes mistakes. What's important is your attitude to the mistakes. =)
