Update: 24 October 2015
Since my last ranting, I've calmed down a bit. Lessons have been learnt, yes, but the heart is still open. Just incase anyone has any doubts about that. :) Life is a rollercoaster, and no matter what, I always get back to the top.
FYI, this quote isn't quite accurate.
I've recently learnt an important lesson.
Don't start caring about people too soon. Anuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-51855221373845764982015-04-18T22:02:00.001+08:002015-05-24T23:35:29.502+08:00Farewell Sunnies!
Dear Sunnies,
I knew that this day would come but I didn't think it would happen this way and this soon. It was my fault. I was careless when I perched you up on my head for a second. For one brief moment, I forgot about Gravity and its profound effect on all elements on earth. You tumbled on to the floor. I knew that it was too late when I heard the sound effects you produced. I braced Anuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-56146302312572230902015-04-08T21:40:00.001+08:002015-04-08T21:40:34.965+08:00I'm Excited!!
Yesterday, I turned 39.
Yes, one more year to the big 4-0!Time passes by very fast when you are...living life...and having fun. The good thing about being 39 is, at the cusp of being 40, I find myself asking some interesting questions. Like...where did the years go? Have I achieved anything significant in my life? Am I ready for a brand new chapter in my life?At least, I have one more Anuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-80903708621573030922015-02-02T22:29:00.001+08:002015-02-02T22:29:46.766+08:00Whispers Beyond SomedayAnuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-10638987131973780702014-10-28T22:51:00.002+08:002014-10-28T22:54:11.941+08:00Chemistry
Sometimes I wonder why we meet certain people in our lives...
Maybe you're meant to figure it out as you go along...maybe it's because you're meant to have a new friend, a mentor, an advisor.
Or possibly, someone to make you feel alive, the most alive you've felt for a very long time, even if for 10 minutes.
Eyes meet eyes. Words are spoken. And yet, between those words unsaid and exchangeAnuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-49402021450626021352014-08-01T12:43:00.002+08:002015-04-11T13:24:48.136+08:00#99daysoffreedom
So, yes I've decided to do this experiment. 99 days of freedom from Facebook. What will it be like?
In March this year, I decided to go on a one week social media detox. The result? I didn't know that MH370 had disappeared of the radar until my friend told me about it at 2pm. Other than that, I felt more relaxed, I was doing more "offline" activities that I enjoyed.

Dear John,
We all have a few musicians we like to call our favourites.
As fans, we dutifully buy the albums, play it over and over. We share a song with friends, argue over it’s charming lyrics and composition. Still, I have never dreamt that I would spend money flying to another country, never thought that I would invent an itinerary just to seeAnuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743614413444807702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9369880.post-32819593716418479592014-03-13T16:54:00.000+08:002014-03-13T16:54:28.397+08:00Note To Self 2.0
On this day of your life,
Anu, I believe God wants you to know...
...that your heart will be opened again soon. Indeed,
very soon, if you are receptive to it.
Do not think that you have had your last chance to love.
God would never do that to you. Your chances are as
endless as life itself! So love, love, love. And do not
worry about who loves you back.

They say that things happen for a reason.
And I agree with that completely.
When it comes to matters of the heart, I am not one of those who can count their lucky stars. I've been, for most years of my life a hopeless romantic. (I blame the romantic novels that I read as a teenager.) When it came to reality, my life was so far from being a romantic tale.

There is no subject for this post today. No agenda, no news, no stories.
I'm just happy letting my fingers do the talking. Go wild fingers, you have the prerogative to do whatever you want. Such bliss. What utter freedom. Take this chance and make it yours.
The fingers want to talk about life. I suppose there is no escape.
What fingers want, fingers get.
Life is funny, said fingers.

We were at the bar.
We ordered beers and had lots to talk about.
Then you challenged me to drink a full pint of beer.
I saw that glint in your eye and accepted that challenge.
I psyched myself and started on the task, determined to do it, to win.I was doing a good job and was about to finish swallowing the last few mouthfuls when I happened to glance at you.
You made a funny face.

Like a rolling stone, my friend Vijay's nostalgic email to me this afternoon, gathered momentum and I found myself bitten by the sentimental bug. I re-read some of my old posts and I was hugely entertained by the silly anecdotes that I shared on this blog over the past few years.
Those were the days when writing on this blog meant I was writing.

Dear GU,
I knew this day would come, the day when I had to send you off on a new adventure. Or perhaps you would prefer some time to lie down and rest, you certainly deserve it after all the work you’ve done over the past years.
We had a quite a few adventures together, haven’t we? It started off rather casually, with you accompanying me just in case there was an emergency.

September turns into December with a blink of an eye.
And yes, things have changed these past few months. For one, I am no longer walking on the thin line of taking care of a kid and working from home. I now officially have an out of home job, new colleagues and a life of my own. Yay!
One month into the job, I am grateful, very thankful to God & The Universe for this opportunity.

You crave for it and when it comes...the first instinct is to retreat, to say wait, I'm not ready yet. But the truth is you know there is no such thing as being ready. Unless you are in a desperate situation. If life is bearable, then new beginnings can also be quite scary. The unknown can be scary sometimes.

Who or what shall take the blame this time? My busy schedule? My months of babysitting? My efforts in maintaining the online website VS? Baby Juhi? My uninspired self?
