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.

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...
