Life is indeed full of surprises!

Just when I thought I was long forgotten by an old friend, I received a message today! Wishing me a merry christmas, good health and may my wishes come true! I was shocked for a whole 3 minutes before i responded. Surprisingly the conversation flow and we talked literally for more than an hour! This had to be an early xmas gift from Santa. =)

' Waiting is also a kind of happiness'

I happen to see this on one of the tv drama today and i kinda agree.. Usually i hate waiting cos i dun understand why it cant be now and must be later. But i guess it helps to build up patience and anticipation and when whatever you are waiting for comes, you'll appreciate it much more.. And also that at least you have something or someone to wait for. . . .

'I hate missing you but i love having you to miss'

I realise that sometimes life dun goes in the direction that you want. The more hype-up and brimming with hope, the bigger the fall and disappointment. Sometimes a little thing will make you happy but sometimes even when u have a lot of things, they dun make you smile at all. That's life. . I want something to make me smile now. Just a smile..

Yesterday i had a patient who cant afford to pay for the medical expenses cos there's further lab test to be done but the company dun cover as the patient is just a contract staff and had joined the company not for a long time. She is just a simple girl and seems to have some financial difficulties though i didt ask her straight.

Felt sad for the girl. Sad to know that there are some people who cant afford the basic needs and there are also people who spent without thinking much. Mr Hk told me that this would be the trend in a couple more yrs in sg. Better to really save up for a rainy day.

My new perfume - Burberry Brit Sheer.. it's a fresh floral fruity scent that is young and charismatic. . It consists of pineapple, litchi, mandarin orange, yuzu, white musk and resins. NICE!! =)

it's a working saturday but it's quite relaxed.

Went for high tea today with Mr Hk at Swissotel's Plaza Market Cafe. It's a spread of peranakan cuisine which was quite nice. i enjoyed the Chap Chye and the Mutton Rendang. Sambal long-beans are nice as well. Desserts are not bad, with kuehs and cakes. the durian paste is yummy. Will want to go back there again on a saturday to nua. Quite nice. . i just realise that i havent go to any high-tea with my gfs.. Shall wait till i tried more high-tea then perhaps we can go to one next time. . .

quote to just be myself . .

“The way to choose happiness is to follow what is right and real and the truth for you. You can never be happy living someone else's dream. Live your own. And you will for sure know the meaning of happiness.”

- Oprah

this quote seems true . .

“In general, we're social animals, so people without good relationships tend to be less happy; the same is true if you're not doing work or other activities that bring out your strengths. Those are the sources of real happiness, not external things like money or beauty.”

- Nancy Etcoff, PhD

Another quote of the day . .

“Love buys happiness. ... If you don't have friends and family, you don't have anything."

- Lynn

Interesting quote that i came across today..

"Happiness is like a butterfly: The more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."

— Henry David Thoreau
