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?

Padded Muscle Shirt

I confess I like to be beefed up and buff, but time does not permit. (I know, the excuse isn't very original)

But now, there's a swifter alternative, and this does not involve any slimming diets.
Meet the cool muscle shirt.



Just as some females wear push up bras to accentuate their assets, this shirt will help men to give a curve where it's needed.

The Funkybod muscle top incldues chest plates for a pumped look, shoulder plates for a broader look, bicep plates for bigger biceps, and tricep plates for bigger triceps. It's designed to be worn below your normal top, so you won't look like you are putting on a bodysuit of armor. (Not every one is Iron Man)

Now if only this shirt can help me pass my ippt.

You can get one here.

Life goes on

I know it has been a long time since I last blogged and wrote to Dear Diary about what is going on with my life, but such is life! (hah, irony)

I've gone from single to engaged, gotten a hdb flat (still in construction), witnessed a few colleagues leaving, and will see a few more going off soon.

It's often said a father is the head of the household, and his leadership determines the strength and unity of the family. In work, the manager is the head of the department and his or her mannerisms, habits, procedures, reactions either make or break the department.

In slightly over a year, I'll be in debt. But married and possibly living in a new house already! Then I'll be even more in debt due to a renovation loan. Give and take, I'll say. You can't put a price on happiness just as you can't value good leadership.

From two cats to three cats to three cats and two puppies, from Bukit Merah to Hougang and next time to Queenstown, from a church wedding and wedding dinner on one day to a church wedding on one day and wedding dinner on another, life has been turning around quite swiftly.

So swift life rushes around, so many curve balls thrown at me, that I'm not dodging. Just stopping. Adjusting and throwing it back. If the dough continually escapes being pounded, how can we stretch it further?

Yet despite all this, life is good. At times, a little bit of discontentment or disappointment sneaks in, but then as swiftly as the weather, it dissapates.

Who knows what next few months will bring, but bring it on! Every challenge has been preplanned and will but make me stronger.

25

Twenty five.

That's around eighty percent of my life reading, writing and learning. Crafting words and stringing them together and tearing them apart.

Mountains I've climbed, and towering cliffs that crushed me.

So much life experiences but of what use if it does not make me a better man?

I have traveled but for a while on this long and weary path. At times dusty, at times smooth. At times in a herd, at times with my shadow.

But not for long. Now, I have another beside me. If one day I were to wake up and find all these a dream, a figment of my imagination, I would lose my sanity.

So much to look forward to. Friendship courtship hatred love. A family to build, and lives to inspire. Days to be brightened, and candles to ignite on fire.

The past I will never leave behind. Rather, it serves as a reminder of who I was, what I did and How I became what I am now.

To live each day to the fullest, with no regrets, and revel in the passion of the color of life.

Change

Working in a place that is full of vibrancy and a living kaleidoscope within the arts, it is easy to forget about change within the colleagues one works with.

Every now and then, I jolt awake when someone leaves and new staff joins the family.

But, life is like that. People come and go, and we strive to find balance in life. Sometimes an anchor to weigh us down in the stormy seas, sometimes a star to look up and marvel at.

At the end of the day, it isn't how heavy the anchor is, or how big the star. It is how many storms the anchor has helped us survive through, and how many dark nights the radiance of the star has guided our path.

I wish you all the best in life and will treasure the memories we have, my colleague that I look up to.

Peace

Looking upon thee as thou lie in slumber,
Thy belly cometh a gentle rumble.

Bliss that shimmers,
Peace that gathers,
Warmth that sparked my heart.

Who knows what yonder brings
Who knows what challenges when dawn breaks
What plans may change
Their doom or success to change.

But this I know
That thou rest in sleep
Safe and secure
Thou is refreshed.

I feel bliss with you
A blissful future I will
Create with you.
