Dream as if you'll live forever live as if you'll die today
Profile esther, 161186 We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship. -Mitch Albom My tweets Ads Exits bryanlim

Thursday, June 02, 2011 i want the bed in my future hse to look like that! <3 Food for thought By Bronnie Ware (who worked for years nursing the dying) 1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it. 2. I wish I didn't work so hard. This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle. 3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result. We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly,in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved.Everyone misses their friends when they are dying. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip.But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks,love and relationships. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have sillyness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again,long before you are dying. I first read this in the Observer August 2010 but have since found a link to the post on her website: http://www.inspirationandchai.com/Regrets-of-the-Dying.html Monday, January 17, 2011 a little perk me up monday is Golden Globes! I am totally loving this Olivia Wilde Marchesa gown! I want one too! Friday, December 31, 2010 Happy New Year! New Year Resolution 2011! STOP SHOPPING Cheers! Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Xmas is in 10days! Orchard Road is flooded everyday! people clearing leave? buying useless presents from action city? why are companies and non-Christian friends suggestion Christmas gift exchange? are they just buying into commercialism? i <3 receiving presents tho muahahah. I've gotten lotsa presents this yr on standby in case anyone wants to exchange wif me =) my favorite part of Xmas is Starbucks! society giveback day which occurred a few wks ago! Happy people makes my cuppa frap so much sweeter! =) and my other favorite activity this period is catching A Crazy Xmas! and this yr there's kumar as Lady Gaga! tho' i'm not rocking his part of the play this year, his costume is awesome! Labels: A crazy christmas, starbucks I love to blogsurf, but i tend to just glance at photos and totally ignoring the content. this my blog became very pictorial based as well! so aniwaes, one of the blog i frequent is that of ieatishootipost. I've met Dr leslie tay several times and hes such a nice, funny guy! reading an excerpt from his more recent entry, I've learnt something useful! "when bring our foreign friends to eat Bak Kut Teh, we can tell them how Bak Kut Teh originated around Clarke Quay and how our Pepper style Bak Kut Teh is linked to our Teochew forefathers who monopolized the pepper trade in the 1800's and how Teochew gongfu tea began to be served together with the pork bone soup which gave Bak Kut Teh (lit Pork Bone Tea) its name!" I never knew how Bak Kut Teh came about actually and more often than not, i dont have my bkt wif chinese tea! In fact, the only time i had my bkt with chinese tea was when i was outstation to Msia last month! "Prof Tommy Koh said in his foreward to "There is no Carrot in Carrot Cake" that we need to set up institutions to teach hawkers how to cook our local fare."  is there really no carrot in carrot cake?  "I recently spoke to a group of NTU students on the topic of Teochew porridge and was astounded that around five out of a group of fifty students said that they have actually eaten Teochew porridge before. Even more worrisome is the fact that very few of them would even consider going out with their friends to eat Teochew porridge.  To me, that just means that Teochew porridge will also die out in my generation!" ~ Dr Tay 5/50 students actually ate teochew porridge before? really? omg! teochew porridge is like one of my fave food! there used to be a fantabulous teochew porridge stall opposite my flat, and taxi drivers are their biggest fan! esp after midnight when theres not much of a food choice in the west side. i remember my mom telling me teochew porridge is a very healthy meal! and thats one of the reason why teochew people have such good complexion! cos the meal is very 'qing dan'. When was the last time you had teochew porridge? go try the one at beo crescent/ quality hotel! both joints serve till the wee hrs of the morning. i even met jade seah at teochew porridge stall at beocrescent once. so perhaps after zouk, head over to beocrescent instead of Spize =) Friday, December 03, 2010 I wanted to take my wedding photos in Disneyland! But when I emailed Disney HK, I was told walking around in the park in a wedding gown is not allowed! =( Labels: disneyland Monday, November 22, 2010 i haven't updated in so long! cos my photo uploaded exceeded the limit! and i dunno how to use photobucket! will try to figure out and update soon! yay! i finally signed up for photobucket and uploaded 1 photo below! more to come soon! Tuesday, November 02, 2010 Domino's have been around Singapore since some time ago then exited the scene altogether. Recently it came back to Singapore again! My family loves Pizza so fine weekday when I ended work on time, we trotted down to Chun Tin Rd for some Dominos Loving' The good ol' hawaiian pizza! my mom swears by hawaiian pizza so we never fail to have hawaiian pizza. We chose the medium crust for this pizza. Additionally we also ordered the chili chicken pizza (no picture) cos it was too hungry. But its really interesting, not too spicy and I <3 it! we chose the thin crust for that and by thin crust, its almost like rotiprata no crust kind =) I liked that cos i especially disliked the thick crust, they are just so filling! Cinnastix. This looks interesting so I got this as well, I think its more of a dessert? cos its sweet but nt overly sweet like the macs one, they gave a packet of the liquid sugar but i didnt use it cos it was sweet enough already. I <3 their spicy drumlets too! It gives Pizza Hut a run for their money =) Currently Domino's my family's fave pizza joint! Labels: bukit timah, dominos pizza, food
