Future is always in our hands......

This is something always so true, the future is in our hands. Stresses are self-generated, re-focus, and they can be reduced significantly sometimes. That's what I thought. There's these much we can do in our office, but I always remind myself, future is in our hands. All we have to do is, (i) maintain good health (ii) think positive and forward (iii) fight for your future. If you do not fight for yourself, who will?

Enjoy each day, always :P

Summer is here (both in Singapore, always and in Tokyo). Weather is hot, and I realised I have started taking afternoon naps during weekends, blame it on the drowsy medication that I am taking for my slight cough. That's quite fine to me.

Since returning from HK one and half week ago, life has gradually settled down and I have felt rested. I could not do my usual jogging for a while because of the cough, and sometimes I felt that my legs are like tofu, so I sleep again (sometimes as early as ten during weekdays). Well, fortunately, work has slowed down a fair bit last week, so I should be thankful for that.

I have been eating a lot recently. Eat and eat. I knew I was rounded, but I refused to use the weighing machine. I want to pamper myself and enjoy each day as its own.

I have got 2 holidays this year (Tokyo in May & HK in Dec). When is the next one? Let me settle down in Singapore, and we will decide bah.

2 Magical Castles with Love

I have visited two castles this year, the top is the home of Cinderella (Tokyo) while the latter is that of Sleeping Beauty (Hong Kong). Despite being a smaller castle, I enjoyed the Sleeping Beauty Castle, being my first visit there. It appears small compared to Cinderella's, but it has the mountains as its background which makes it warm and real too. In short, I thought I would not enjoy it on Tuesday, but I did (since I have had really expectations prior to the visit).

It will not be fair to compare the number of rides between Tokyo & HK Disneyland, but they are 2 different theme parks totally and I did not try to compare them. Needless to say, Sleeping Beauty being a less popular princess has a significantly smaller home than Cinderella's. Though it was a hot sunny day, I was relieved that the park was not crowded (with mainlanders) and the queue was pretty short. There were also variations of the rides in both parks, and I enjoyed the attractions well too, plus it is new. Unfortunately, I completed the main rides by 3:00 and left the park after the parade at 4 pm after the parade. One funny thing though, most eateries in the HK disneyland serves Chinese food ranging from Tim Sum to Char Siew Rice, which is funny.

My favorite ride attraction must be Mickey's Phiharmagic particularly with Peter Pan & Wendy and Aladdin & Jasmine flying in the sky. Other enjoyable ones include It's a Small World (this one has Disney characters in it and we were busily searching for them throughout the rides), and Stitch Encounter (which was quite cute too).

Overall, it is still enjoyable day well spent in HK, and I have been thinking about it the last few days. I hope G-san & Melodii enjoyed the day at Disneyland too.

Being Sick

I have been sick for the last 2 days, but it appears my heart seems to be still at work, and I still kept worrying despite at home. I admit that this is totally uncalled for, unnecessary, and has no meanings. I worried too much for too many things which may not be even within my control. Is that a reason I fall sick? In order not to be back to my old self, I have decided to bite the bullet and go through it gracefully I will not think about it but just practice what I have said earlier, leave work during office hours, and have a life during the non-working hours. I knew I should not be affected by this, and I should grow up and go through it!

Hot Summer

Summer is here, in fact it is always here. I always tried to avoid the sun especially on weekdays when I have to work. I would eat in airconditioned places, and avoid the sun. It makes me hot and hot-tempered. So I have to cool down, otherwise, it will worsen things.

Bad monday is over, so now is sweet monday night. Home is sweet sweet sweet...... how many times do i wanna repeat that?

Friends out there, we have worries, and down days, but just a job and let it settle during your paid hours, not your rest hours!

The route back home is ...... so sweet

Suddenly, when I was on the train, I felt that I was enjoying the route home. Nevermind the tiredness or the stickiness, the journey is an enjoyable one. I was looking forward to a bath, to a good rest, to talk to my friends on MSN, and to be myself. For that, I am happy, and contented. Hmmmmm....... nothing more can express that!
