Gravity is gravity It doesn’t try to pull you down Stone is stone It can’t help but hold its ground
Really love Jewel’s songs but this one really resonated within me today.
Strength, tenacity, courage and grit for each new day.

Life is never fair, they say. And the same goes for work, as I’ve just realised. For once I realise that there are so many things beyond my control. Gone are the days whereby sweat + tears = results. I am now dealing with so many other external factors, it feels like nothing is within my full control anymore. And for a control-freak like me, that means adapt, or fail. It means accept it and...
A little life update. LinkedIn has become my defacto social network sans Facebook, and my daily reading material now revolves around Mashable, Marketing Interactive and Social Media Times. Weekends are so precious now, nothing beats simple pleasures like TWG High Tea with a good friend, curling up in bed with a Mask and Tea, cooking with the boyfriend and spending time with family.
Graduation has...

Day 2 of my job and I’m loving it. Started on my first project which will last me through my probation. In other words, it’s make or break. As much as nothing gives me more satisfaction than ticking things off a to-do list, asking God to help me know...
When your head and heart are consumed with fear, you’ll have no room for dreams. Food for thought indeed.
So I’m back from an amazing and awesome holiday. It was a great getaway and exactly what I needed. Really thankful that the boyfriend took all the time away from his work to plan the entire itinerary. Maybe we’ll find our retirement home somewhere in Tuscany in the future....

One last paper next Friday, by far my most difficult Soci module in NUS. I’m already so drained from the past two papers, but I need to end this well, or at least try.

Finally making some headway for my last term paper. It has been, by far, my most harrowing experience yet. After spending five days of fruitless research and hitting dead ends at every corner, I have finally managed to conceptualize a sensible, logical and do-able term paper that will fulfill my lecturer’s requirements. Now for being able to translate thought into words.
Too tired out to...
Because life is beautiful.

Start everyday afresh.
Had a night of insomnia thanks to a cup of Japanese tea, which resulted in me sleeping at 6.30am. So what was I doing throughout the night? I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but I was going through commencement speeches on Youtube. Yes, you got me right. The usually dry and boring stuff that everyone has to sit through during graduation ceremonies.
Don’t ask me how I got there, I...
Was going through my old documents when I found a letter from my ex-principal, part of my Secondary School Graduation Gift. A reminder to keep my chin up, to embrace the here and the now.
The difference between a dreary day and a beautiful one is mainly in what you make of it.
The difference between an impassable obstacle and a golden opportunity is primarily in what you make of it.
