Rise Above it All & Be Truly Happy

I hope that with my new salary next month onwards, things will start to get a bit better. I know for sure that it is not going to be easy at first because I'm still in debt and I need to pay them off slowly but surely although I do hope that if I ever get bonus for July, I will use most of it to pay. I don't like to owe money and be in debt and on top of it, being chased by creditors. I hate it. 

I've mentioned about how I was unable to cope with the rising prices due to inflation which lead me to borrow money from people and also from banks. I really really want to put it all behind me. Even if it is going to take me a year, I will most definitely want to break free from this cycle.

Meanwhile, I would like to start afresh in terms of my purpose in life by pursuing things that I love doing and to spend time building on the foundations of what I deem as being truly happy and sincere. We all make mistakes and the first thing we should do is to admit that we've made those mistakes. I believe that some things that we do, we do it because we have to or at that moment of time, all rational thoughts are momentarily forgotten. Sometimes things happen because we've lost that purpose in life or we have lost focus that we end up doing things without realizing the impact of it later on and how it is going to affect ourselves or our loved ones.


Look, even the hardest of criminals can turn their lives around and make good with it later. It's just a matter of whether we want to change or we just want to remain stagnant and forever be dealing with problems that shouldn't be there at all in the first place. Life is unpredictable but sometimes we unconsciously make things more difficult than it already is.


So if you are like me, who sometimes find yourself 'lost' in life, it's time to sit down and think about what we really desire to do that will help us shift our focus into finding the true meaning of life. I guess because we get quite pampered too much because everything seems to be made easy for us. We don't have to walk long distances to work because we are well connected here in Singapore (assuming we don't have frequent train breakdown nowadays), food is readily available and we don't have to harvest our own vegetables to survive and all we need to do is hop on down to the nearest supermarket. We are hooked up to the internet almost 24/7 except when we are sleeping. So we become complacent and in the midst of it all, lose the passion for life.


Therefore it's time to reignite that passion for life and start pursuing our interests. Even amidst our busy schedule, we can still do something to make us happy and achieve a good meaningful life.


"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence." —Aristotle

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
