25-12-13' X'mas 2014

I'm blessed.

I must say that I'm overwhelmed by this year's Xmas! I loved the gifts and the gatherings. I appreciate how everyone gets together to make things work- you made me see cohesiveness and spontaenousity glistening amidst all. 

Thanks my family and friends, you guys form a big part of my life!

24-12-14' Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas folks!

It's the time to be happy! Looking forward to the party with my friends at Gallery Hotel later.

Hope you'll have an awesome Christmas too!

Blogger still doesn't allow me to post pictures from my mobile. Bummer.

17-12-13' The last month of being 26.

What do I want for my birthday? 

'Time'

Let me be 21 again (So that I can fill '21' in the age column in forms).

I was feeling alright until after I hit 25. It came to me that 26, 27 onwards sound awfully ugly numbers in years. I became reluctant to share my age and sometimes in denial. 

How ironic of the birthday wish; you want time to go backwards. You use this year birthday to wish to go back to last birthdays, neutralizing the very wish you wish upon. 

My sensible self tells me that to challenge the laws of nature may attract dire results. I may forget things I'd done, alter my path, be a completely different person, or non existence- consequences I couldn't afford.

Life is full of insatiable wants. Precisely of this concept, we have motivations to keep us going, to get a decent job, work and keep your earns. 

As years goes by, the present itself does not hold much regards compared to the intentions and thoughts on getting it. The present is not about the gift itself but the significance of celebration.

I could see why parents are thrilled to receive a piece of art work from their children even though it's a piece of paper with scribbles, doddles. Because I felt the same warm resonance when my young patients gave me a piece of their drawings, and with me looking extremely weird and blue like an avatar character. 

Friends, thank you for sharing your time and growing up together with me. For being in a part of your life which neither of us can go back. 

'The more we experience being controlled, the more we will lose interest in what we are doing. If we go to work thinking about the possibility if getting a bonus, we come to feel that our work is not self-directed. Rather if is the reward that drives our behaviour' 

-Alfie Kohn (1993)

Thrilled!

The exam dates for May 2014 is out. Stress stress stress. 

I need a vacation to unwind. I'm on the verge of giving up. I'm spending 3/5 nights of weekdays in school and I lost track totally on the 9pm shows on channel 8- I would even forget what is airing on tv. Saturdays are totally burnt with me waking up even earlier than my work days at 6.50am for 8.30am lesson and thereafter another class from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. This leaves me only with Sunday to breathe, sleep and simply do nothing.

It has come to a point for me to feel consciously thinking of skipping school. A rare phenomenon for a 'good student'.
