I squeeze smiles out of you!

The first time I skidded I thought I was going to overturn. Thankfully no one malicious saw it happening and no damages were caused. Just a shocking encounter and a searing reminder to be safe in future.

The reunion dinner was in a sense, a get-together with no one exactly engaging in full-swing CNY mood. Too far away from the real thing I guess. And no posh chinese restaurant setting. There was a year-long of lives to catch up on, and some just had to be missed. Not everyone got an equal slice out of the enthusiasm pie.

And a stunning piece of news to me was that my brother's girlfriend, who read the novel had told us that Memoirs Of A Geisha actually had a sad ending, where the protaganist and her love interest never got to reconcile. So I think the director made it such that the final scene in the movie was actually an imagined picture of happiness in the girl's heart. How depressing.

Okay I'm stuffed from taking the rubbish bin role again at the steamboat gathering at my place just now. And I'm headed off again for a class BBQ soon. I don't want spare tyres! Enlarge my cache.....more to come, I can do it. AND my eyes are suffering from late nights up and contaminated contact lens. Straining the optic muscles, suffocating the pupils and increasing the astigmatism. Argh.

Once again, my weekly shot of the Spirit proved to be quite a mover. I'm gonna treat the use of the powerful spoken word with more prudence now; and this year, I'm gonna take off at a sure and steady pace toward goals of greatness. Standing out. Attaining whatever I'm here for. Doable!!

I've realized that any group, large or small usually share similar colloquial lingo. The members usually take after whoever's at the helm- I see it within my church, in my family and amongst my army mates. What an unconscious infection. Haha. And amongst unfamiliar people, I'm only approachable when others warm up to me first. Otherwise I'd always appear aloof and cautious. But once I'm on it, I get it goin' on like crazy, sometimes talking things I shouldn't be! My extreme tendencies.

And an accepting and capable mindset must be forced into existence sometimes, especially when you know you are spiralling downward behaving like a petulant and helpless child. It's a detachment from your inner conflict and believing in the Light you've always owned that can shake you awake. My previous post should incorporate this. Not everything's enjoyable and stress-free. But everything that happens is not wasted, all for the purpose of the learning and building up process in life. Will we manage to see that? Like, really?
