3 AM
Well, I had wanted to blog about my busy busy week but then apparently I just realized that it is now 3am in the morning. And since I have driving lesson and tuition to give tmr, I think I should go off to bed now. So I shall leave the blogging about the past week to tmr or even on tues since I don't have work for the next few days. So goodnight world, I am off to board the plane which code is BED and fly off to my next destination : Dreamland!

Finally I am back to blog again, I haven't exactly been the busiest person on the planet to give 'busy' as a reason for not blogging for so long. Somehow, there is nothing much to blog about anymore, not that nothing is happening but I just don't see the meaning to blog. Perhaps its just cause too many things happened recently so much so that I don't know how and where to start which explains the constant emptiness around.
Anyway I am working at the Singapore Discovery Centre now as an Events Facilitator. Can't say its hard work cause really to tell the truth its easy money. In a sense its pretty much fun too, cause I get to see all the students or a majority of them at least enjoying themselves some point in time in that 3 hour that I first saw them and probably the last time too. But somehow as the 3 hours come to an end and its time to send them up the bus, as I bid them goodbye as they board the bus, I do feel a slight tinge of emptiness deep down. Its just like a feeling that goes "hey there goes all my hard work for these 3 hours". I may have shouted myself hoarse and gotten myself totally tired at the end of each session but its the smiles lingering on their faces that rewards the hard work put in. Yes, I know I might never see them ever again in my entire life and even if i do I might not even recognise them but its kind of fulfilling to know that in some point in someone else's life, I have left an imprint however faint, whether or not they will ever remember that I was once part of their life for 3 hours. Sound overly sentimental? I guess its not a feeling that one can describe through the superficiality of words.
I guess if this quote is true then life has different meaning to it in different periods of our lives. So think, what is the meaning that you have given to your life for now?

Chinese New Year is coming. Yes, the supposedly most important event of the year for all Chinese in the world. Everyone's soaking in the joyful atmosphere and you can see families with big bags of goodies and every other thing emerging from the shopping malls. The little children are all bursting with excitment and the older generations are all looking forward to it. Yet why have I more than once see it in the eyes of people of our generation that they don't think its such a big deal and sometimes even I feel that same way.
Where in the world did the little children that are filled with yearning for this festive occassion that re once in us go. Haven't we all went through the phase whereby the Chinese New Year is the ultimate event of the year for us and we have been yearning for it long before it reaches us. Why is that we are now frowning upon all the excitment and dismissing it as just another occassion and just a longer holiday for all? Is it thatthe environment that we grew up in has gradually changed us or is it that we are just going through a phase whereby we just want to feel 'cool' and so we are all hiding our heartfelt emotions or have that ability to rejoice been long lost. Maybe its just me thinking too mucha and maybe ithere are many of our generation out there that are looking forward to Chinese New Year.
Anyway, enough of all this talk. Chinese New Year is just in like 2 days' time amd i still think its the time where everyone will rejoice and soak in that moment of excitment at least even if we don't look forward to it. So well people, lets just all keep the big bags of goodies and the overflowing excitment coming in. Have fun!
