Welcome New Year :)

Remember, the choice of happiness is in your hands :)

Today is the fourth day since the fireworks blasting all over the world. Half sleeping from my bathroom window, I could hear the raining sound seeped through the window pane. I thought I heard it wrongly. I kept quiet, winced my eye, and tried to hear it again because I might misheard it of something else. Hm.. I was right. It was raining. Not heavy, but not light too.

I slipped myself back under the blanket despite my waking up time was only left with five minutes time. I turned my alarm off, and closed my eyes again, rejoicing the cold air surrounded me. It was only about ten minutes later, my hubby opened the door and asked me to have breakfast with him. Then the whole morning started all over again just like any other day.

The MRT started getting crowded again. School holiday had over. Students went back to school. Parents went back to work. Gone were the peaceful, half empty and quiet carriages. Now it was back to cramp, stuffy, and noisy one. Lucky I still got my seat since my station was located at the end of the MRT line.

It was still raining as I came out from the MRT station. Familiar feeling. And many people were waiting for the lift. Despite having five lifts, this hour was kind of weirdly crowded. I mean, since when most office here started at 9am? I felt that it was lesser crowded at this timing before. Whatever.

As I went up, I stopped by toilet before walking to my office cubicle. From the corridor, I could see thick clouds hovering the famous three towers at afar, or perhaps fogs? 

From outside, darkness swallowed the office. I turned my key and opened the office door. I pressed the light switch and smiled, "Do not worry. I am here to bring a light into you."

The optimism, the energy, and the positivity suddenly brighten up the whole cubicle, despite the darkness that was still there from the clouds and rain outside. 

I put down my bag and settled down. I opened the umbrella up to dry next to me, headed to fridge, took a bottle of water and pour it into the kettle. Click! It was turned on. The whirring sound added the life. I turned the radio on from my office mobile, and this song filled the whole office up and made it alive all over again...

If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be

Would you go along with someone like me? 

If you knew my story word for word, had all of my history

Would you go along with someone like me?


Heard it before and had my share, it didn't lead nowhere

I would go along with someone like you

It doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with

We could stick around and see this night through


And we don't care about the young folks

Talking 'bout the young style

And we don't care about the old folks

Talking 'bout the old style too

And we don't care about our own folks

Talking 'bout our own stuff

All we care about is talking

Talking only me and you


Usually when things has gone this far, people tend to disappear

No one will surprise me unless you do

I can tell there's something going on, hours seems to disappear

Everyone is leaving, I'm still with you

It doesn't matter what we do, where we are going to

We can stick around and see this night through

Positive quote for the day :)

The whistling and the rhythms made me moving my leg and head. Did it move yours too?

The moral of the story of this post is do not let the environment and situation around you make you feeling down, and your past too. 

Bad weather, crowded transport and road, it is all temporary. Keep your cool down.

As for our past, we are just a human being who could simply make mistakes in our life journey. No one is perfect. Somehow, it just happened. Most important is that we learn from our mistakes and do our best not to do the same mistake. If people leave you because of your past, let them be. 

It is better to show our true color with our true feelings and feeling remorseful rather than be a devil covering up as an angel face, those who just wanna look good in everyone's eyes.

An opening post for the new year. Wish everyone have a beautiful and wonderful year ahead. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy every second of it, be it good or bad. Treasure your loved ones around you, and spread love and kindness to others. Have fun!
