Sometimes

Sometimes, it's not easy.
When a person highly respected in the same
faith as you
that professes the same beliefs as you
judges you without knowing you.

The place that you enter
as a sanctuary
as refuge
as a hiding place
lets you down.

That you feel judged and found guilty
without any wrongdoings.

Judged due to my working hours
Judged due to my denomination
Judged by society's standards.
Judged by your requirements.

Saddened.

Are you a Pharisee?
All words and no action?

Nohot Cup

Every time I order a hot beverage, I slowly sip it in anticipation that it will scald me.

So, when I read about Nohot Cup, I was mystified. Finally, an answer to hot liquids!

While it looks like a regular coffee cup, its lid is made from heat sensitive materials, so when the drink is too hot, there will be a lump on the lid that will hit your nose if you try to drink it. Once the drink has sufficiently cooled down, the lump will slowly disappear, allowing you to drink your warm beverage without any risk of tongue burns.

Time flies and I'm enjoying it

Time flies.

It's been a year since I've been attached, and since then, I have gotten a house (still building), shifted from Bukit Merah to Hougang, got promoted, witnessed half my department leave (not at all at the same time), booked a hotel ballroom for wedding banquet, and gotten a mama shop.

Well, not really gotten a mama shop, but running its operations daily. Which can be a bit tiring but fun. Sometimes I need to scramble for time to sleep. After cleaning the cat's litter and dog's poo, and feeding and watering them. And doing household chores like hanging up the clothes and all.

But all in all, I'm still surviving and I couldn't have done it alone.

You see, we aren't a normal couple. Normal couples would be defined as those working office hours on a Mon to Fri job. They would probably have breakfast and dinner every night, and a date or two during the weekends.

I work shifts. My fiance works projects. So she could chill for three days, and then chiong eight days a week. Along the way, we fit in time for each other around the busy schedules. Maybe breakfast together, or supper together. Sometimes, we get so tired we just fall asleep in each others' arms.

Despite all this, I am quite enjoying life. Granted, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, and my eyes get smaller than their minimum size. Sometimes, she gets insecure, and I feel taken for granted, but we overcome all these together, and stick with each other.

2013 was a rather rushed and life-changing year. 2014 doesn't have to be better or worse, but fulfilled and lived to satisfaction.

You'll be missed

You'll be missed.

It's an understatement to say I'm sad at your passing. I shed tears for you once when you left the company, and now I'm shedding them for you once more.

Did you not hug me and promised you'll come back stronger? I believed you. You were always a man of action. But what happened? I will never know.

So young, so full of life, yet you just gave up. And to such an end.

We were your family, you said to us on that day when you left, and you disappointed us. Indeed, we tried to help you, but now that you have taken matters into your hands, were we more of a burden than a help?

I may not agree with your ideals but I respected your skills and how you always completed what you promised.

I only pray this is not what you promised.

Sometimes

Sometimes I don't know how to love you.

Do I do it via words or actions?
The former does not hold much weight
irony that most people say talk is cheap
But deeds with accompanying words are mere actions.

Even if I were to send you a bouquet of flowers every day, it wouldn't be enough.

But sometimes, your words cut me deep. Sometimes I don't even know how to tell you it hurts.

Do I love you? Yea, I do. Do I take care of you? Yes, I try to. I do my best to be a supportive fiancée as possible.

Sometimes the frustration gets at me. sometimes I wonder if displaying anger is a good way to relieve it instead of bottling it within. I'm never done it before.

Is there a generation gap? I don't think so. We flow as one. Sure, we have individual flaws, maybe some common differences too like procrastination,
But I think we compLete each other.

I know I'm myself when I'm with you, that's why when our relationship has any issue, I turn back to you.

I'm in this for the long run, and I'm staying. No matter what happens,
I'll absorb and continue our race together.
I love you, and I don't regret if.

Inflatable Concert Hall

Who says performing venues must be cast in stone?

Meet the inflatable Concert Hall.







The Ark Nova is a 7750 square feet space which can hold an audience of 500, and is about 60 ft high. I can just imagine this at Marina Bay. Why stop at just a yellow duck when you can have a concert?
