没有一天不想你
I know you’re always here
Somewhere out there watching over us
🙂

One thing about growing old
Is that you start to comprehend
and appreciate that time is beyond us

Who are we and what do our lives mean 
Perhaps there never was a grand meaning
and we were simply brought to earth
because of the natural transitions and evolution of life

One day we will be part of that history
that is looked back upon with distant irrelevance by future generations
and everything that we are familiar with now
will become obsolete to make way for newer innovations

Such is the nature of life
As it has been for the trillions of years that Earth has seen through
and will be for the many more to come

不是有了方向才踏出第一步，而是踏出了第一步才有了方向

30岁，想告诉自己的一句话。

Reminding myself everyday to count blessings
and to continue to be grateful for every little thing

Can’t find words to sum up 2022 properly,
will just like to say a big thank you to everyone and everything that had been a part of our lives this year

We have been more than blessed

May everyone continue to stay healthy in 2023 🙂

Happy New Year

Not sure why this post was chucked to the drafts and long forgotten.

And here we are already almost half done with 2023.

无止尽的思念
如大海如蓝天

The last of my twenties –

• It’s okay not to have everything figured out by now
• Life is not made up of one singular straight path. It’s okay to change directions
• It does not matter what age you are at, nothing is ever too late unless you are dead
• Do not let what had always been define what you can become
• The time spent thinking and fearing and hence not doing, could have been used on trying
• Baby steps are always better than no step at all
• Question less on the reason for being here in this world and focus more on what you can do or contribute while you are here
• The world will still live on for centuries and centuries even when we are gone. We are only here for a fraction of time, so let’s just enjoy it! What’s the big deal of everything, including our problems?
• You are perfect the way you are. Be comfortable in your own skin
• The world is a beautiful place, always see it that way
  

Best birthday present this year would be little baby niece 🙂 Thank you for arriving safely and upgrading me to an aunt. Carrying her in my arms, i think i began to understand a little of what my uncle must have felt when I was born. The love and joy is enormous. He took many photos of us, never forgets our birthdays, bought us many presents that our parents would not and gave us the biggest ang paos every time. He loved us quietly from the sidelines. I was too young and dumb to see it, but he must have felt lonely that we got more distant from him as we grew up. I’m only guessing, but he must have wanted to be more involved in our lives but did not dare to/did not know how/did not want to disturb, because that’s how i would feel. In so many ways we are alike. I wished i realised it earlier, but there are things you will only learn of when you are there.

Thank you ah kor, your love will always be with me, and will be passed down on and on.
