Facing the Dreaded Music

Staying true to what I have written previously about wanting to achieve happiness in my life, I have decided to face squarely with my debt problems by...answering the phone call :S I know somehow one day I just have to answer the call and even though it was nerve wrecking, I was glad I answered the call this time. I had just avoided facing legal charges which can jeopardize my career and being in the civil service doesn't help.

Sigh...

One thing I am er..thankful is that the guy on the other line is kind enough to offer me a low payment scheme and in my enthusiasm in wanting to know when is the next payment due, he asked me to do it one at a time. So one at a time, it is. I have to be resourceful in finding my funding source and this is a very painful lesson for me.

But I have brought myself this absolute mess and only I can clean it up. What I can learn from this is to never EVER borrow money again, whether from the banks or from people. I have to also learn to manage my money properly because every single thing counts. If I just HAD to get something, it has to be justified..or at least offered a good price. This is especially for things like make up and card making stuffs. I am just a humble human being with a weakness for pretty things. Not so much clothes for as long as I have not lose this weight yet..haha.

Anyways, while I still have to juggle with this problem, LIFE STILL GOES ON. What I plan to do is to do what I love which is making my handmade goodies via my online shop. I just set up a blog for it and I am so egg-cited to open it up. Later on I will do stock taking so that I have the things all neat and tidy for people to purchase. I am also trying to come up with ideas to bring in more moolah and be a bit more creative. It's like being my own boss..haha. This is also part of  my healing process and also my aim to attain happiness. I wanna be worry free although yes life does throw a few curve balls to us every now and then but the thing is, we just have to be strong about it. For some others, people like me too, we have to be strong for our family too. That's just the way it is, whether we like it or not. 


If you are having personal crisis, it is good to share and seek help. Don't bear it all and be all shy about it. People will offer help if you are genuinely in need of help but don't forget to pay back their kindness or else they may think you are just taking advantage of them.


My other advice is...look before you leap. At times it can be hard to predict when life will be tough but if we have to face it, we just have to learn to face it and slowly accept it so that we can reach an amicable solution for it.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
