"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easliy angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Cor 13:4-8 "Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people. It is the inner struggle to polish these attributes that is the key. Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality." -Ikeda Sensei, Wisdom of Words Archives December 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 April 2004 May 2004 June 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 January 2009 June 2009 |

HELLO 2008! Labels: family, food galore, friends, soul, sweetkiss :: dawn tan :: at 3:50 PM ![]() ![]() ![]() The clock ticks away, my sub-conscious mind taken into flight. What's there to see, For nothing is as wide as the sea. Black and white rule the mind. Colours of the world undermine. Yet, under the blazing sunshine at Farrer Park, the mind took its time to take a vision. Colours were created and seen. Sounds were alarmed and heard. Thoughts were asked and answered. The walk ended with - 'there's more to life.' For, God's creation is just awesome. :: dawn tan :: at 1:45 AM existence of life.. When you are not being appreciated of whatever you had contributed.. When the bad always overrides the good.. When every little thing becomes significant to you.. When nothing becomes everything.. Maybe that is the point of time that you realise that you are existing. To exist in order to improve.. To improve in the grace of love, forgiveness and patience. it's never easy to exist. Till the moment that u realise the reason of existence, things will change.
:: dawn tan :: at 12:43 AM work to occupy time.. Took up a part-time work for this weekend only. selling portable emergency handphone charger, operated with alkaline batteries. It sounds so 'night market' kind of job. 'le long le long' But it is a offer that i just can't possibly reject. It is going to help me occupy my 1st Sat and Sun without dear. Something to occupy my mind so that I won't think so much and cry like mad again. But of all things, i had to miss his calls. This is one thing that I feared most. Why do i have to miss his calls? why why why? But luckily, we managed to talk to each other at about 11pm just now. Thanks baby for all the patience. Dear got his HP line in Aussie, which is good! So that the calling is not one-way now! yippee! I can't wait for him to settle his timetable too. Then we know each other's schedule and then get into the habitual calling over skype/msn/phone. Hope his orientation on Monday will go through smoothly. Sun night will be his first night alone in currie. Hope he'll know more people (neighbours) & then the people around him will be nice ones. I just hope that all will turn out greatest for him! We always want the best for our loved ones right... *muacks* Labels: close2heart, soul, sweetkiss :: dawn tan :: at 1:57 AM "Big Girls Don't Cry" The smell of your skin lingers on me now You're probably on your flight back to your home town I need some shelter of my own protection baby To be with myself and center, clarity Peace, Serenity I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We've got some straightenin' out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry Don't cry Don't cry Don't cry The path that I'm walking I must go alone I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?

I'll grow up when you are away... I'll be stronger! Labels: music, soul, sweetkiss :: dawn tan :: at 3:53 AM pamper treat.. Pampered myself with a french manicure and pedicure. nice.. as usual, i was teased at of my puny nails. but, i'm fine with that because my nails are cute! lol. short, chubby fingers with small nails. i can help them save their opi nail polish ok! i was pretty tempted to sign their package but then i'm cash-low. haha. girls, once in a while, need some luxury treatment. cause, we are worth it! :) Labels: soul :: dawn tan :: at 1:41 AM Farewell lunch @ Sakura Safra Tampines Colleagues at IA company were sweet to treat me to lunch.Buffet lunch was 3.5/5, abit above average. widespread of food. international food. from thai to japanese (of course) to italian (pizza) to dim sum to local taste (laksa). a challenge to the stomach and taste-buds! Not my top choice but I think I appreciate the company more than the food! this was my favourite in the buffet spread! this lunch concludes to a farewell to attachment stint! Mixed feelings. One moment where I can't wait to get out of office. Another moment where I do not want to leave the company. Work is, confusingly, fun and dull at the same time. when there's too much to take, it's dull. when there's too little to undertake, it's also dull. but, when it's lunch & teambuilding time, it's hella of a fun! Gonna miss the jokes and laughters of these guys so much. And, of course, the experience of working life. Hello to student-life, all over again! Labels: food galore, IA, occasions, soul :: dawn tan :: at 11:14 PM bowling @ marina square i haven't touch bowling for ages, thus i had to help washed the drains for a couple of times. (money went down the drain too...) but hey, i've got one strike. pathetic but then, i'm satisfied! the other IA peeps were hilarious when they tried out some moves. curl the ball, the foot-to-one-side move, planning the best move.. this was purely a self-enjoyment session. had a great time laughing away! dinner was settled at the foodcourt. don't attempt the korean stall's kimchi soup. it is like level 4 of kimchi's spiciness. unless you can take it, if not, don't be too adventurous. friend recommended the roast meat stall though. we were talking about religion. i'm still not willing to take up faith at this moment. can't bring myself to believe in any yet. tiring, yes, to question each and every time. but i'm not ready yet. so, i guess, the right time will arrive. Labels: food galore, IA, soul :: dawn tan :: at 11:48 PM my 1st diy On Sat, I went for a p/t job briefing with yl and ada. after all the recee, we went for lunch and then walked around town. walked into the diy shop where u can do ur own jewellery at far east plaza. yl got her earrings stand and then we went to browse thru' the diy stuff. thanks to yl.. i was so engrossed in all the stuff they had in the store. in the end, i bought the french hook, rings and the pair of half shutter butterfly. haha! came home and then, yesh - without the essential tools, linked the rings & french hook & the main character together. (the one on the left was re-furnished from another pair of earrings) looking at my masterpiece, i think the effort is worth an applause from myself. sweet!
:: dawn tan :: at 12:16 AM where to draw the line? how do (will) u know... - what to do and not to do? - what is supposed to be known and not supposed to be known? - what to expose and what not to expose? - what to say and what not to say? - what are the 'needs' and the 'wants'? - what are the 'likes' and the 'dislikes'? we will never have a clear boundary of the 'line'. And, one won't even know or realise that the 'line' has been crossed. Why are human beings such complex bodies? Labels: rants, soul, spaced out :: dawn tan :: at 2:12 PM Coldplay - Fix You When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you I see a stream down your face when you lose something you cannot replace I see a stream down your face And I I see a stream down your face I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes I see a stream down your face And I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you. ______________________________________________________________ I was jogging when I heard this song over Perfect10. Beautiful lyrics that made me think of so many things. Life is never perfect. But how do we get/feel better with each passing day? Yup, Light will guide me home to where I want to be...
