My Last 7 Days of 2011, Week 50.5

25th December 2011 – Merry Christmas to All

1. I learned that getting angry at someone in your dreams is as exhausting as when you are awake.
2. I learned that reaching out to someone can be easy but getting the response that you want is so much harder, but I’m still trying.
3. I reminded myself to be humble and am reminded of a quote from a dear friend – 强中更有强中手, 一山自有一山高.

 

26th December 2011 – Boxing Day (Shopping Day)

1. I learned that if you put shopping ahead of food, you can go on for 7hrs with only one large serve of Boost Juice. (Yes I did that, but had a brunch bar earlier.)
2. I learned that it’s easy to say yes to someone who asks me to buy gifts.
3. I learned that even when you ask someone to check their product to make sure it is what they chose, they can still make mistake and bring home something with an almost similar design. (True story.. some people aren’t as observant after all.)
4. I learned that if a menu has red bean drink, that’s the drink that I’ll order.

 

27th December 2011 – Christmas Day Holiday

1. I learned that only the author knows the true story behind a his literature. Sometimes I shouldn’t have to try too hard to understand something, just embrace it. Literature title: Make Believe
2. I learned that I should give a little time before saying anything when I’m angry/upset. Words spoken aren’t as easy as using the “Backspace” or “Delete” button.

 

28th December 2011

1. I learned that one man’s creativity can be another man’s burden, because he doesn’t share the same vision as the artist.
2. I learned that sometimes it’s easier if you don’t ask when someone is upset because it’s none of your business – “It’s personal”, and you don’t fall under that category just yet. So I say quietly, “I hope all will be well for you.”
3. I learned that no matter where a friend was, concern for one’s health and safety is always there.
4. I said what I needed to say, I did what I needed to do, but somehow I feel it isn’t enough, yet, because all I got was silence and short answers. And if today was my last day on earth, then I have not yet fulfilled all "10 Things You Should Be Able To Say Before You Die".

 

29th December 2011

1. I learned that you can try to predict the numbers by studying its frequency of occurrence but some things are just purely luck, or is it study and a little luck?
2. Despite knowing that luck is never on my side when it comes to this, I still decided to give it a try, with a little study.

 

30th December 2011

1. I made a deal today, but I think I shouldn’t have. I doubt that I’ll get anything in return, not even the slightest sign but at least I tried, and I’ll keep on trying. Reaching out is easy but waiting to hear is the harder.
2. When I don’t understand things, I always end up singing “Life, oh life, oh~~~ life, oh~~~ life… du du du du” – Des’ree (Life)
3. Having the same dream two days in a row can be a little exhausting and suspicious, but I decided “come what may”.

 

31st December 2011

1. I learned to never let anyone make you feel bad because you decided to spend a few extra $$ on something, even if you could’ve gotten it for a cheaper price elsewhere, but no harm whining for being told off for awhile, only a little while.

 

And so I thought, last day of 2011, how can I not reflect on the days I’ve had so far. I feel that I’ve learned more this year than I ever had, all the good and bad sweets and awful sour, bumps and smooth flows, laughters and stresses. What happened happened for a reason, what didn't was probably not meant to be. But all in all I'm grateful for everything that life has taught me and how much it has opened my eyes. To old friends thanks for sticking around, to new friends thanks for the new friendship and it has been an honour to get to know you. And to my fellow readers, thanks for dropping by and revisiting.

Happy New Year and hope you will have another great year ahead.
