Moving on

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.

Eating

Saw this quote at a cafe the other day.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.

While I am not exactly a “foodie” (well, perhaps more of a “dessertie”…), I have many friends who are. I will certainly agree that having an unsatisfied stomach does make it extremely difficult to concentrate on matters that are important. :-)

Birthday dinner

A mental “snapshot” from a few months ago, just before my month-long sojourn in Argentina.

I went to a birthday dinner last night – mine, as a matter of fact :-) . They were friends from my first job since landing in Singapore. Looking back, it is quite amazing how time flies and we have known each other for close to 9 years. Even though by now we are no longer working at the same place, we are still having gatherings regularly. In the meantime, some of us has gone from being single to being married, and becoming proud parents.

This is a great bunch of people who have helped me through some of the lowest moments in my life. Thanks for being my friends.
