Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It's been awhile since I've been to ECP.
Breathed in the cool sea breeze, listened to the melodious sound of nature - the waves crashing against the shore and the joyful chirps of the little birds, took in pretty green sights, including sights of cute kids, pretty ladies and dashing hunks (that's really good for the eyes I would add)! My eyes and soul finally got some slack off from the constant straining and tiring computer editing work.
It had been a good relaxation cum workout session, especially since my tyre got punctured and I had to laboriously cycle the last 7km back. But all wasn't that bad (: A cute guy even told me, "Be careful, your tyre is flat!"
Thank you Sandra and Carrotman :D :D :D It had been a wonderful day and I hope your crab session was great too! Sadly, the inline skating rental shop was closed today. But, shall be heading back to ECP for a few times before flying back. Seriously wanna learn rollerblading. It seems likka cool!
PS, my flights confirmed. It's on the midnight of 27th Feb! 22moredays. realfast ):

I never knew armpits could bear pimples. Furthermore, when the pimple pops, out comes two huge yellow-greenish clots, with a little blackness in between, a few strands of armpit hair and a horrible, stinky odor.
Gross. But kinda interesting. Lolol.

The 1000th post, on the second last day of January.
Tomorrow's gonna be the 31st. School's officially starting in 27 days time. Seems like some way (not long way) to go, but, time passes really fast. The evidence? My 3 months +++ holidays has rocketed past just.like.that. Rent transfer from my old apartment... new accommodation hunting... school enrollment... a new school term... application for bank loan draft... etc... Definitely not looking forward to doing all these - a handful to do and so little time left.
I hope I'm not making the wrong decision by deciding to go back right on the day when school reopens. I just can't bear the thought of leaving home yet again. Though, the pay here sucks and I am definitely looking towards the $16/h min part time wages there, but nothing can beat the company I have at home.
The thought of Melbourne reminds me of greyish/brownish buildings and the cold gloomy winter. Melb does have her bright side, but I just can't seem to be drawn by it, probably because of the unfortunate events last year. Hopefully this year spent in Melbourne shall be a better one! It should be - with a new start (starting from a change in housemate wahahhaa) and suffice experience from the last year. Hopefully, hopefully, I will be able to mark my last year in Melbourne with a good time! Shall do my best to enjoy my time there, I shall consider getting a pet too!
I will be home again soon enough. Soon enough :D

The reason why I love Disney, other than for its famous, and always cliche, happy endings, is because of its wonderful and encouraging songs. They light me up particularly in moments of frustrations and discouragements at work. Here's one of my fav (from the Lion King):

Codfish picked up a little baby kitty a few days ago. It's been seven days and her growth has been real fascinating (: From a tiny little kitten that keeps her eyes shut tight, she slowly grow to become a little adorable "rascal" that keeps mewing, pooping, urinating and drinking milk.
Meet Sooty, the little kitten who changed my perspective about all cats and kitties (Though, I still prefer dogs over cats. Muahahaha).
Please don't grow up to be ugly like other cats! No worries, XY will make sure you won't too (: He will feed you to become as fat and cute as.... GARFIELD :D
ps, it's been a week, but we have not even confirmed her name yet.... Sooty or Noobie?

I met Keith again at the Chingay rehearsal today. In case you were wondering, Keith is a guy I first met when working with Standard Chartered Marathon. He was one of the leaders under my charge, and was one of the really dedicated and competent ones. Seeing him volunteering for Chingay and seeing how he took the initiative to help and serve others really touched me (He was only and administrative personnel, but he even took drinks to serve the performers when they came in all too tired to get their own food and beverages). He also made me feel conscious of my flaws.
Having volunteered for many events, this was the first time I ever really reflected on my volunteering. What was the purpose that drove me to volunteer and how well did I perform my job as a "do-gooder"?
I remembered the times I complained about not having good enough welfares. I remembered others when I just gave up on the tough job of having to serve others because I wasn't in a good mood (due to various petty and major reasons). I recalled waiting for other volunteers to do the job just because I refused to go the extra mile/ get dirty.
Volunteering meant presenting oneself available on one's on will without the expectation of any rewards or returns. My behaviour failed me. Even in real life, I might have failed to be a... well, maybe not a Samaritarian, that's probably too high a status to achieve... failed to be a understanding and generous person.
Other than thanking Keith, I also have to thank Codfish. I am really proud of XY. Unlike me, he would not question anyone selling items in the name of charity. I would usually go, "this person has hands and legs. He should be finding a job instead of sitting on the streets asking for money," or even, "this person said that he was once an ex-convict, but how sure are we? And, the card he is selling... it is simply too expensive and not worth the money." He would not. He would generously donate. Even in his job, he may complain that people were not treating him well and they would always reprimand him for things that he did that was not even required of him in the first place. But despite all that, he would still be willing to help and he would even give his all instead of doing a bad job. His loving, caring and sensitive heart, especially towards others and particularly animals, was the other admirable part about him.
They showed me the meaning of being a better person. And that is something I strive to become.
