Maybe

Just maybe ... things are simple.

We just tend to complicate things because *deep breath* being simple is boring!

hahaha... (ok lame, not funny, not suppose to sound funny either as this isn't a joke)

I'm Yin btw. =)

... and I miss you! ~<3

signing out with loads of hugs and kisses. ~xoxo~

.: Burger-bira :.

What do you call a happy burger?
Burger-bira (translated from BM to English)
-Hitz.Fm-

Today was our Sunday School outing to Burger King!
Ho0o0o0o0ray!

Nothing much to say, but that the kids have lotsa fun today! :)

So happy to see them happy! *beaming smile*

.: Anyone Can Fly :.

I never knew Tony Fernandez (Air Asia) is such a humble guy. Was really glad that I was able to meet him at an ICAEW dinner last night. He gave a very inspirational as well as entertaining speech (though it was long, nobody actually mind).

I shook his hands and thanked him for the wonderful speech. I also meet up with Raymond of the ICAEW Institute, Executive Director. And he still remembers me after almost a year plus! :)

I guess it's good that I've such a lasting impression on people (or is it not?!)

Well, anyways I've been kinda bogged down with work lately, it's not that it is very voluminous, but rather very mind-boggling. Just not used to using so much brain cells in such long span of time. Really like my job actually (aside from the fact that I'm still in the accounting line).

I've a really great, understanding boss - who really takes the time to coach no matter how busy he is. I've some great colleagues (some , not all though). I find the little things at my workplace that I seem to enjoy, for example, opening a parcel that came all the way from UK (which was a compilation of reports & summary of one of the corporate restructuring that I was involved in). I got really excited, almost like a five-year-old opening her Christmas present. I have colleagues who's really nice to talk to when I'm super stressed out with work. And who feeds me endlessly with chocolates and cookies :)

I can't really say that I'm satisfied being where I'm now, but at least, I'm more happy than I was.

.: I Wish You Enough ... :.

Overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, 'I love you and I wish you enough'.

The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom'.

They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'.

Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking,
but why is this a forever good-bye?'.

'I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.

'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?'.

She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone'. She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. 'When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them'. Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to
keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.

.: Being Difficult :.

"Shan Lyn, you are a very difficult person......"
Ouch!

And my spinning continues slowly but surely....
Feels like being stuck in a quicksand, the more I struggle to set free, the more I realise that I'm sinking further and further down.
Come to the point where I'm standing still and watching the earth swallowing me alive...

.: Spin, Spin, Spin :.

Feels like I'm spinning uncontrollably in this spiral downwards that I couldn't put a stop to.....

.: Heaven on Earth :.

Dance like no one is watching

Sing like no one is listening

Love like you've never been hurt

and live like it's heaven on Earth

~Mark Twain~

.: The Guardian : Nicholas Sparks :.

Another Nicholas Spark's novel......

It's blatantly obvious that I'm a big fan of Nicholas Sparks, but The Guardian, was really (sad to say) disappointing, compared to the rest of his novels that I've read.

One would expect, after reading The Wedding or A Walk To Remember, that Nicholas will be able to come out with a plot that is absolutely brilliant, with a BIG twist in the end. But dissappointly, it was all-so-cheesy and all-so-predictable.

The storyline didn't really bring out any emotions in me, characters being so cardboard-like in many ways. It's the first (it's really not that difficult to make me cry) Nicholas Sparks' that I didn't shed a tear, yet alone bawl my eyes out.

Being to picky? I hope not. Tho I'm looking forward to reading his latest - The Choice.

Hope that I wouldn't be disappointed this time round.

.: Untitled :.

It has always been of the little things you take for granted in life, and when that opportunity ceases, you're left with nothing but memories.

It's going to be the 2nd year death anniversary of my Grandpa this coming Sun. He's been on my mind alot recently, and never was there a time when I talk about/thought of him that tears do not well up in my eyes. I really do miss him.

The reality is that I’m really alone when it comes to facing the day to day life. And the world can really be such a cruel and unforgiving place. It’s really nice to know that in everything that I’m going through, God is always watching my back and guiding me. In that way, I’m not alone per say, but it would really help if there was someone (as in a physical being) to be there for me when I feel so empty and lonely. It wouldn't take away all the emptiness, all the pain, all the loneliness, but it would really help alleviate all those negative thoughts and feelings. A hug and a “Don’t worry, everything will turn out ok…” is what I really need sometimes.

It has always been an unanswered question on whether or not I would find that someone or would that person only turn out to be just an image of a person that I wanted her or him to be?

I really have been thinking about death lately - probably due to the fact that my Grandpa was on my mind of late, though I've been trying so firmly to avoid that topic. Those thoughts has been visiting my mind alot, treating my mind like it's playground. It's not suicidal thoughts (please do not fret), but... it's as if some inner guts telling me to prepare myself for that.

I taught my dad, mum and brother to play mahjong last night. It's been forever since we really did something fun togehter as a family. I cried myself to sleep that night.

It’s really difficult, but I’m trying to cope with whatever lil I have left.

.: Wonder :.

"Sometimes, it feels like time passes by so slowly, but then, you look back and ask yourselves where have all the time went."

.: OneRepublic : Stop And Stare :.

his town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets SCARED
But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' NOT there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really NEED
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets SCARED
But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really NEED
Oh, can u see what I see
What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

.: 1, 2 or 3? What Would It Be? :.

I have 3 choices with regards to my 3 year ol laptop
1. To get a new laptop
2. To get a new desktop
3. Stick with this ol one

Suggestions anyone?

.: PS, I Love You :.

Their plan had been very simple. To stay together for the rest of their lives. They were best friends, lovers and soul mates, destined to be together. But as it happened, one day destiny greedily changed it's mind......

Another novel that I was eager to sink my hands into. It wa a good read, and I did enjoy it, though it didn't made that WOW impact that I was expecting it to have (being the top selling novel in Malaysia for the past weeks).

To make it short, then novel centers on how Holly copes after a death of her husband, Gerry at a young age. They shared 7 years of blissful marriage, not perfect, but a contented one nonetheless. The letters (of The List as how Gerry called it) was written on Gerry's deathbed for his beloved wife, to help her cope with his death.

In my humble opinion, the author, Cecelia Ahern, had a really good storyline, just that she had focus too much on the irrelevant details that the main plot has really lost it's plot.

But to be fair, being a young budding author like her, I guess with more experience and maturity, she will be able to write great novels in years to come.

.: Great Night :.

A really hearty dinner at sakae sushi
Two bottles of sakae
Ice cream for dessert
A game of pool (which I won)
And having the company of great friends!

I had a great night last night. Thanks Drew, SJian & Jes :)
