Far beyond my fairytale imaginations,
is God's perfect plan for me ♡

It's been close to 2 months since I share my thoughts in this little space of mine!
A lot of things had happened within this period. I am not going to share every little thing but just going to pen down some thoughts about my takeaway from the year 2015 and the beginning of 2016.

Last year, I experienced different things and learnt a lot from the experience I had.
Death and health are two key things that hit me hard, real hard.
They are the two that forced me to grown, forced me to mature.
They are the two that are close to my heart.


A good friend of mine, Elina passed on late last year.
Even though I only knew her in June, we were bonded together with Shan in a new diploma course that we take a leap of faith to dedicate our time in. We shared many memories together, every lunch meals together, occasion dinner dates, deep talks, laughing at random silly things, laughing at one another, leeching each other's charger, project discussions, sitting in lectures but our mind elsewhere (hers in assignments, mine in shopping) and more.

I remembered we celebrated her birthday by putting up a "Elina's 21st" banner and she pretended that the banner is not there until we couldn't take it anymore and played pranks with her.
Though it is just short 5.5 months of togetherness, the memories, the laughters that we shared are beyond limit.

She's someone, I will keep close to my heart.


There are a lot of people who are out there who love us, adore us, cherish us a lot. But do we love them, adore them, cherish them the same way they do? Or do we take their love for granted?

One of the biggest take away from 2015 is to cherish the people who we love and who love us. Not only to cherish them, but to love them unconditionally and to show them that we love them too. Bcos you never know that it might be the last goodbye, the last hug that you will ever give it to them.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
I was constantly reminded that after every storm the sun will smile; for every problem, there is a solution, and the soul's indefesible duty is to be of a good cheer. Hence, I want to pen down my story of how I defeat the battle I'm constantly in.
