Chinese New Year though a happy occasion mostly, but for the pass years, it has always been a little awkward. Being home, somethings just ain't as easy as not being home, which begs the question , whether home in a sense is still 'home'. *scratchscratch* anyway, there was certainly some revelation this CNY.

1. i think i've inherited most of my passive personality from my dad.

2. i still have no idea from whom i inherited my curly hair, small eyes and inability to squat with a flat feet...sigh...

3. my 2nd bro and i have came to an agreement that my youngest bro is best described as an over-achieving chunk of muscular fat with a disproportionally small head...haha!

4. though my dad thinks my youngest bro is a potential politician (while picking up my bro from sch in pri. 1 and helping him carry his bag, seeing how he greets almost everyone goodbye or how almost everyone and anyone grets him goodbye as they walk out of the sch gate, my dad said he felt like the bodyguard of a politician parading and greeting members of his constituency...hahahaha!!)

5. financial planning.....man it definitely not an easy task, and we should all start at it right away if we have not started yet.....AHHHH!!! hate it that money makes the world go round.

6. My ex piano teacher happens to be a distant relative of Joseph Lim Ee Mun. Joseph's dad is the grand uncle of my piano teacher.


Oh well, on a side note, i think my house can qualify as a branch of SPCA Shelter Home le. Last CNY it was Fatty the yellow garfield-looking cat that was adopted. This year, its 'Grandma'(Fatty's mum's mum) and her recent litter of 4 kittens. 4 bundles of cute/mischievous/daring/adventurous/naughty/curious furballs..hahaha!!! hmmm...think i inherited my love of animals from both my parents....ha!

on a side note, if CNY is a Superhero, his sidekick would most definitely be Overeat Boy!!hahaQ

anyway, introducing my 4 new family members..ha!

2 weeks of sch has pass, and already i'm 3 days into my 23th year of existence.
pass 2 weeks has been like riding a rollercoaster.
high up above the world in one moment,
and the next,
like at the deepest chasm before i could do anything.
happy, sad, surprised, let-down, bored, breathless, depress, elated, desperate, alone, blessed, hopeless, hopeful, hateful, thankful, angry, calm, worried, resentful, contented, and some i can't describe.
is that why i'm feeling so tired now,
but then why can't i just get my mind to bloody shut off.

the day i turn 23th,
amongst all the things that happen that day,
that i'll gladly remember for the rest of my life,
this one, seemed to struck s certain cord.
it was what Mr Meng said.
its easy to focus on the detail,
get caught up in the small and nitty gritty things.
trying your best to perfect all the smallest flaws,
and worrying bout all the microscopic troubles in life.
whats difficult is,
to take a step back and look at the larger picture.
see how everything's coming together,
and to consider if every part of the large picture is alright.

in a sense, i think i'm already waist deep in the small picture.....

there are things to be done and said,
things to be thrown out in the clear,
but could how, and when, and where be up to faith?

is it not right for me to feel the way i do,
shouldn't the heart follow what the heart wants.
if so, then why are some things seemingly covered in shades of blue.
