Time : 10:04 PM Title : Beijing-ed.  hello beijing! Serious planning. Especially when it comes to starbucks. For once, the background is the focus. First meal of the day - settled for vegetarian.  And we began walking..this is at the Summer Palace (Yi He Yuan)-which I didn't managed to go the other time. I like this..  Finally, after a long day of walking......  Yuanyang Steamboat! Contented after a satisfying meal..

Spicy chicken..  Can't remember what this is...   The chef preparing the duck..separating the meat from the skin etc..

Time : 10:12 PM Title : CRAP. NEW FACES. TO FILL UP THE VOID WHEN OTHERS ARE GONE. NO ONE IS INDISPENSABLE. WHEN THEY WERE SIXTEEN. WHEN EVERYTHING WAS SO SIMPLE. TIME. THE ONLY DEFEAT AND EXPLANATION FOR THINGS WHICH REASONS OR EXCUSES CAN'T BE APPLICABLE ANY LONGER. DETACH-ED. YOU'RE THERE BUT YOU'RE NOT. MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY DETACH-ED BUT PHYSICALLY ATTACHED. DON'T PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF. THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE 'COS EVERYTHING JUST SIMPLY FALLS IN PLACE SO EASILY. THE LOVE FELT FOR YOU JUST BECAME LESS AND LESS RELEVANT. HE MANAGED TO CONVINCED HIMSELF THAT THE WAY HE LOVED YOU ISN'T THE ONLY WAY THINGS COULD BE. WHAT HE FELT FOR YOU AND THE LIFE YOU USED TO HAVE TOGETHER HAS FALLEN AWAY. HE'S MAKING IT FALL AWAY AND IT WILL, UNTIL HE'S CLEAR THAT HE WILL NEVER BE THE PERSON HE IS RIGHT NOW AND WILL BE IF HE HAVE STAYED WITH YOU. GETTING LOST IN RAFFLES PLACE. LONG BUS RIDES TO COMPASS POINT. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE(S). LONG NIGHT CHATS AT THE BBQ PIT. SWIMMING IN TOTAL DARKNESS. 5AM AIR AT RAIL MALL. GREAT WORLD CITY. JURONG HILL. VIVOCITY - THE MAGICAL PLACE. LONG CAR RIDES TO NOWHERE. TRIP TO CHANGI. FIREWORKS AND KISS OF THE MOMENT. EVERY UNSPOKEN BIT WITH A TINGE OF REGRET. THE SLOW DANCE WITH YOU AT FACE. THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING TOGETHER. HE HATES TO THINK OF BUILDING HIS HOME ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT HE WAS, AT HEART, A COURAGEOUS MAN, AND SO HE DECIDED TO TRY. IN A FEW MONTHS HE HAD A NEW HOME, SHADED IN THE SUMMER, SHIELDED FROM THE WIND, SAFE FROM THE STORMS, AND HE WAS ABLE TO BUILD BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE FOR HIS STUDY. HE LIVED THERE, MOSTLY HAPPILY, WRITING TO HIS MANY FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAD PROBLEM TREES. HIS OLD TREE CONTINUED TO GROW IN THE SAME SPOT, AND CONTINUED DROPPING LIMBS DURING EVERY STORM, JUST LIKE BEFORE. ADMITTING POWERLESSNESS AND THE REALIZATION THAT THINGS ARE BEYOND CONTROL. NO TIME TO DAYDREAM RECENTLY. IT HASN'T BEEN RAINING A LOT HERE. SOME THINGS STILL STAY VERY MUCH THE SAME, LIKE HOW I STILL LIKE TO WATCH THE RAIN AT NIGHT. NOW, AFTER ALL THESE, I CAN STILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU, BUT I CAN ALSO REMEMBER HOW I HAVE LIED TO MYSELF ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE, AND HOW MUCH IN DENIAL I WAS ABOUT WHAT WE BOTH REALLY FELT, AND HOW OUT OF TOUCH I HAD TO HAVE BECOME WITH WHO YOU WERE. MOST OF THE TIME, I HAVE MANAGED TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT THE WAY I LOVED YOU ISN'T THE ONLY WAY THINGS COULD BE.

Time : 11:12 PM Title : Almost lost it. Managed to steer myself back this time round and right, I am feeling kinda satisfied with my little "achievement" actually..
He has been busy these 2 days 'cos of back to back meetings and such..and I have been missing his company and all sorts..was actually quite surprised that he actually has created such an impact on me..I felt a little lost without him being physically around..hmm..I actually dropped by his office a couple of times in fact..and well..when he finally appeared at the end of the day, well..that feeling was simply indescribable.

Time : 8:41 AM Title : To you. Things are beginning to pick up as what they are supposed to be so, as expected. Life still goes on no matter what, like what you told me. There are really so many things which I would want to do, for you. But I'm not doing so, yet. There is really just so much I can offer. Everyone's telling me not to, so I'm still struggling and it's affecting me.

Mooncake fest is coming real soon and I so wanna go home..But I won't la..Can't remember what I did last year for Mooncake fest but I know what I did for 2006. Hazy night it was, but we had fun, at least I did. =)

Time : 9:38 PM Title : So far.. Never a day has passed which I am faced without having to get out of my comfort zone, at work especially. You know how you can recognize that you are out of your comfort zone when you do feel uncomfortable with what you are facing at that moment (okay this sounds crap), but I am trying to explain how hard it is to be standing right there, out of my comfort zone, when the easiest thing I can do is to duck under my comforts, hide in my room and sleep the time away. Or even fly back to home sweet home. And not only am I standing there, I try to make it my comfort zone.
And it gets me thinking whether the next time I feel uncomfortable, is it because it is harder than the previous one (you know like a steeper challenge of the similar type of fear); or it might just be another type of fear which I am having. Or it might even be the same type of challenge which I have gone through or even a weaker one. If it's a weaker one, does it mean that I didn't really learn from the previous experience? Do you get what I mean? And I really like what I am experiencing at work everyday, even though when I am experiencing it, I totally dislike it, hate it and want to stop doing it. But sometimes, at the end of the day, I think through what I have done for the day and am satisfied with what I have done. You know for example, one challenge was to bring a contract to the chairman of the company to let him sign. And well, how often do you get to meet the chairman of the company? I don't. I still can vividly remember the entire scene in his office. And not before having George to remind me to prep myself well so that I won't sprout nonsense or stammer when the chairman asks me questions. George said: "You must know what you are saying." That got me a little terrified. But in the end, everything was a breeze..But it took me a lot of courage to knock on his door and to show him the contract. I remember myself standing outside his office for 5 minutes to compose myself and to think of my lines. There are many things I have learnt as well, such as to attend meetings representing George, to be responsible for my words and actions, to organize and plan my tasks well (which means to multi-task), to have my own project and watch it grow and develop in the way which is best for the company, to not do unto others what others do to me (to rise about others), to not be swayed so easily (this I am still working hard at it), not to be affected by others (and this is important cos there will always be office politics and rumours), to be proud and satisfied with my results cos it is not always good to expect too much, and most importantly, to grow as an individual and to make sure that I am growing in the way I want and hope to be. There are always many great theories and oh man, yes, I am always bogged down with all these cos of all the more experienced people around me (and some can speak really well and am so convincing) and of course this will mean the uncles especially. Maybe 'cos I am still a fresh grad, with only less than a year of experience. It is never too wrong to listen to others, but to absorb what I believe in, what I think is true and to of course sieve out the rest. Being so far away from my loved ones is not easy too. Not easy for me, not easy for them too. Mummy told me something which kinda made me cried last night, she said knowing that I have chosen to go abroad and work, as a family member, she will not ask me to stay 'cos it's my choice and it might be good for me. And as a mother, she will give me her full support and will always be there for me and love me. If I am given a chance to choose whether I will want to work here, well, minus some hiccups along the way, I rather choose a job which is challenging, makes me grow and not be so dependent, and gets me out of my comfort zone. =)
