Does that number matters?

 Hi there.

Has it been a fruitful year so far? Counting blessings, yes. Things more or less stabilized but there is always a constant fear. Fear that when things become good they will get taken away again. Have been pondering,. At this stage of life, what are my life goals? Mid-life crisis? Maybe. Sure there were happy times and then you wanted more. Is it too greedy to want more?  

Encountered a situation that I had been through before. The gap is too wide but life is too unpredictable to worry so much right. Live and enjoy those moments so there will be no regrets. How often can you find the matching frequency? Loads of people living life wearing masks. Who is really real? How can you tell who is true? Ignorance is bliss and they say the truth hurts. 

Falls into darkness every night and wakes up to new start of the same routine in day. Lost passion in life. Did I left it in the past? A little deer asked who can help me find the passion and motivation in life. Do I know the answer? There is always just myself who can help myself. It is nice to have a little deer. For how long, no one knows. But I am glad to have one for now. 

Do you know what you want in life? I know I wish to win that lottery jackpot and I can tell you what I can have in life.

A cool refreshing morning at 7.18am of 2 October 2021, Saturday

 Dear Blog,

Do you miss me? The last blog was years ago. You have not changed. Have I changed? Maybe.
Covid-19 has changed many people's lives. 

March 2020 was when my life crashed once again. A "sudden death" situation. Till today, I have not really come to terms with it. On and off, I will think back. What have I done or not done to deserve this? Karma will comes for those who did bad. What bad did I do to deserve this? Would it have been different if I have followed the "crowd"? I have no idea. That day, that pain. I can remember vividly. I tried to avoid thinking of it but sometimes just cannot help it. It just comes to my mind. 

Then came Covid-19 lockdown. It's like the Earth has stand still. Once I thought I cannot survive a single month without a job but I managed to survive for months. Things that once thought not possible became possible. Working from home became a norm. 

Me. During that period, my life slowed down. Gone were the days of working to dead of night. Stayed home doing things I like. Catching up on sleep without having to wake to alarm clock. I do not miss squeezing like sardines in the train on the way to work. I get to chilled at coffeeshop, sipping coffee and enjoying my time. A friend commented that it seems like I am enjoying retired life. Maybe this is what retirement will feel like.

Empty on the career life. Equally empty on love life. Seems like plenty of time to readjust my life goals. Underneath the chilled behavior, I was quite lost actually . No one knows the panic I felt and the many nightmares I had. The amount of tears shed can water a greenhouse full of plants. I live day by day. The future looks bleak. There had been fleeting thoughts of ending it all. Stopped due to lack of courage and unfinished business. They say, suicide is a cowardly and selfish act. Escaping through death and leaving all the mess to the living. I feel it takes a lot of courage for one to actually do it. They must have felt immersed pain, hopelessness, helplessness to reach the stage where they just cannot handle anymore. Not to worry, I am not at that stage yet thought sometimes I feel I'm almost there. 

On a happier note. Things seem to realign back on track. Person of interest appeared. People come and go. Who knows if this is also one of the passerby. Sometimes I'm filled with envy when I see my peers happily settled down. I once thought I will also be like them. Now I'm not sure if that is what I wanted. Perhaps just someone to share ups and down with. I enjoy having someone whom I can share all the interesting things and also the day to day life with. I want to explore the world too, only to be chained down by financial obligations. Clipped wings bird in a cage hope to be set free soon.. I'm glad I managed to travel a bit during my better times. No regrets.

Took a nap at odd hours and now I am too awake too sleep. Shall go back to my hand-fan sewing. Took too long to finish it.

Good night to night owls. Good morning to early birds. Congratulations. You have worms to eat.

当你觉得你的世界塌了

最近读了朋友在FB的po文,让我有些感触。
在几个月前,我也有相同的经历。
我能明白那种心情和打击。感觉世界突然塌了。

她们说我选错路。我不适合。我很差。很差。连低级的都不如。
就这样抹去了我多年来的努力。因为,她们用了她们的尺来衡量我。
我开始怀疑我自己。我迷失了方向。我泪如雨下。
我这些年都错了吗?我不该走这条路吗?

我好失落。不知所措。我该这么办?谁来帮帮我?
我只允许我自己哭一个晚上而已因为我没时间。

我不应该怀疑我自己。她们不是我,没有和我同样的经历。
我不应该让无谓的人扰乱我的世界。不要以‘我’的标注来衡量别人。

Whether is it out of concern, it is right to impose your unwanted suggestions on someone?
I hate it when people gave suggestions because they are concerned.
While I appreciate the concern, it does not means I need your suggestions.
Who are they to ask people to change their lives?
These are not constructive suggestions. I find them destructive.
What is poor? Does it matter if we can't buy luxury goods, dine at restaurants and fly business class to exotic countries? Are we then poor by that standard? If you cannot put yourself in the shoes of the person, the least you can do is to respect their decision on the way they live their lives. If you are a true friend, the least you can do is to support them not to push them down.

路是自己选的。虽然辛苦,可是开心满足就好。尽量不去理会他人毫无意义的言语。
我们没有伤害任何人。我们尽本分做好自己就可以了。
信念很重要。佩服那些能坚持维护自己信念,勇敢去追求梦想的人。

真心的朋友也很重要。不是天天见面的才是真心朋友。有些是默默在背后支持你的。
不用太多言语,用心去感受的。

朋友,加油咯。我们继续努力。

(Dedicated to my friend (and friends) who got lost momentarily.)

Time and Tide wait for no man...

Looking back at the past post, 3 years had passed. When I looked back at past posts, I laughed and I cried. I guess I really grown a lot. I fell a lot but I managed to pick myself up, dust my dress and move on. Some falls were very hard. So hard that I never thought I can get up again. Took a lot of effort to get up and move on. Giving up is not easy too. Had too much to worry about.

Fairy tale doesn't happen in real life, at last not for me. At the end of the story, it's always happily ever after - The End. Happily ever after happens only in the book. Once you close it, it's just The End. Do you feel the emptiness I felt after finishing a book? Well, at least I had some good memory to keep.

Love is blind. I don't know if that was love. I know I put my heart in. I ignored all the sirens going off in my head. That was the stupidest thing I ever did. How can I not trust my own gut feelings? I put trust (and hope) in the wrong person. How can I be so silly? Look what I have done to myself. Such a heavy price to pay. 

After crying, I can only move on and I have to move fast. I tried my best. It's not enough. I felt so tired. I really feel like ending it all. But by doing so, it will not really end things. It's just passing it on to the next person. I couldn't do that. Just have to bite the bullet and make the best out of it.

In 2015, I decided to move out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I do not know it that was a bad move because I start to doubt my capabilities. Did I over-estimate myself? It was a hellish period. It ended in tears and worries and countless worries. I took 2 days to cool down and re-plan. Final decision concluded and a sense of relief washed over me. I told myself to remain positive and strong. I am grateful to have friends who gave me support and the strength to stay up. True enough, an opportunity came up and here I am. I learnt to cherish every opportunity that comes along. We all know we shouldn't take things for granted but how many of us actually practice that?  

This year, someone came along and took a place in my heart. It was a difficult relationship because of distance. I treasure every moment we had together. Just the thought of him can make me smile. Good times don't last. It ended as fast as it came. My heart shattered and tears rained. Trying to hold back tears is as exhausting as crying. My BFF encouraged me. We agreed that I will just be sad and cry for a week. Then I have to get up and move on. I felt lost. I kept wondering why but so what if I know why. It's not going to change anything. I didn't want to ask more. If he will feel happier that way, then I will let him go. I can only wish him all the best. I felt twinge of jealousy whenever I imagine him holding hands happily with another girl. How can my heart still feel so painful after all, this is not my first heartbreak.

Day after day and week after week, occasionally, I still feel hints of sadness. Time will heal right? I will be better and stronger. Soon...

After years of neglect

My Dear Blog, have you miss me much? 
 
Was browsing through, it's funny to read what I have wrote. We were all young & lost once weren't we?

These years of neglect. Much had happened. How do I summarize them all in one post? Let's see.

Achieved some of my goals, mostly academically. Career wise, well... Some improvements pay-wise. But still lack of the recognition I am looking for. Lesser luck in relationships. Few guys along the way, but I guessed we were not meant to be.


For once, I thought I found 'The One', only to lose him due to my own stupidity. Too late for regrets for he is a married man now, I think. I learn or am learning to move on. Sometimes, he lingers in my mind. It's impossible to forget, but I have learned to accept. It has been easier nowadays. Too much going on in life, I have to keep moving on & on.

I'm not sure how things are going on now. Some uncertainties lurking always. But I guess I'll just have to take it as it comes.

I don't know what has been brewing in my mind. I'm having a lot of crazy thoughts & making crazy decisions. But hey, I only get to live once, so let me live my own life the way I wanted. I tell myself to follow where my heart goes. Sometimes, these stuff are illogical. But, who cares? 

There seems to be a special someone. Surrealistic person. Yes, I know this person might be reading. I often asked myself. Is this for real? Could this really be happening? Seriously? I'm in doubts at times. But there the person is. So real & vivid in my mind. Will this dream happen in real life? I hope I'll find out soon.

September

Ended in August 31st. New start to new hope on 06 September. Is it really a a new start to new hope? Or is it a new start to a new nightmare? It's half of both... Fast, faster and faster. Can I catch up? Struggling I think. Trying. Gotta try hard. Harder and faster... Can I make it through? I'm scared...

The roller-coaster is here again... I don't want... Mind & Time. Invest in more important stuff. What are actually more important? 

*~*~*~*孤单,寂寞陪伴我左右。*~*~*~*
