There is something special....

One glance and you see an ordinary tapioca tree.
Take another look, closer, do you see what I see?

A heart. :)

The leaves of the tree in my house compound has grown naturally into the shape without any coaxing or artificial hands. Sometimes I think that the most beautiful things are all around us, but most of the time we are searching too far to realise that what we are searching for may be right here where we are.

Sometimes as humans, we are never content with what we have. We are constantly in search for greener pastures, until something strikes us, and thus reminds us to appreciate what we have right now. Nothing in life is forever. They say that the only thing constant is change. While we can never predict what tomorrow brings, we have control of the present. Make the most out of it.

You know what I just noticed about the tree? The heart is made out of two branches that come together to become one at the trunk and the roots. Just like how two individual people are two different people, two separate branches; and yet they are connected together at the core. I don't think there's anything more beautiful than that.

Here's another of nature's lessons for you to think about.

I know someone stalks my blog. :) This is for you.

Farewell 2009, welcome 2010

What a year it has been! 2009 has come to an end. Time for 2009 to transcend to memory, and 2010 to materialize as reality. I don't know if it's just me, but the past year seems to have flown by at lightning speed. Where did the whole YEAR go to? What did I do for a whole year?

2009 has been a year full of new experiences, many of which I never anticipated. If there is a word that would sum up my 2009, it would be "learning".

Last year I blogged all about what I did in the whole year. This year I have turned lazy, so it's gonna be short and succinct.

I want to shout out to the friends that have supported me through it all. I want to thank the new friends I made in the past year in Sydney who have been so nice to me, helping me settle in so easily and making me feel like I belong. I want to thank some KL friends for still being so close to me even though I am so far away and for making me feel like I really mean something. I want to thank a few KK friends for being my source of strength and logic when things were in a convoluted mess in my head. I would write your names out, but I don't want to miss anyone, so I will write it here in my heart. I will always always cherish you and I remember all of you who were there when I needed a friend. Words can only say so much, but my appreciation for you is beyond words. I want you to know that while you were there for me when I needed someone to talk to, I will also always be here for you if ever you need a friend. :) And for all the people who have helped me, in one way or another, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You all mean a lot to me, and I will always remember that.

I would also like to say thanks to someone special who came into my life not that long ago. :) You are my first thought in the morning and the last before I close my eyes at night. Even though it hasn't been exactly smooth sailing, I have faith in it now. :) I want to let you know how much I appreciate having you as a part of my life. When I close my eyes and think of you, I remember the times we spent together, those memories I will always cherish and remember. I hope that the new year brings lots more memories that we can share together :) I miss you. xxxooo
