Unaccomplished

All my life, I have had many dreams but I have accomplished none as yet. It's quite sad actually, haha! Thinking back, these are probably the regrets in my life. . . I'm not talking about big dreams like becoming a renowned singer or winning the Nobel Prize, it's doing something you really are passionate about. Like creating beautiful paintings for people who loved art, or consolidating collage of all kinds of photo shoots for people who loved photography. There are many things I wanted to do, too..

And the list goes, not in any order or whatsoever, things that I've regretted not doing in the past -

1) Swimming
Guess now that the world is gradually sinking into the deep waters, it'd would be good to know how to keep yourself alive. The secondary reason would be to enjoy the beach and water in sexy bikini, attract some hunky guys in 6-packs. Heh.

2) Learn how to sing professionally
I have this thing for people for could sing; men or women, young or old. I would stop to enjoy when I hear a Jazz band in an al fresco restaurant. I would tuned in to American Idol or any sort of singing competition. I love to visit Walas or Timbre or even MoonStone just to listen to bands.

I love to sing, but not a good one at all. :S

3) Play the Piano
My neighbors used to play piano alot, their parents made them practice daily before they could come out to play with me. And I loved the sound of it since then. My dad made me learn the Electric Organ for a year. Whenever I was in a bad mood, I would play for hours on the Electric Organ.. makes me feel better too. =] But for some reason, I just opted out not long a

Now I'm already 25, to complete the course (I heard there were 8 levels, each taking approximately a year to complete) I would be 33 already.

4) Cheerleading
Don't really have any explanation for this. Just thought it would be a fun sport that gives your overall exercise! And since most of the time you need to show you flat abs, thought it would be a good reason to motivate myself to work on it.

5) Pick up Hip Hop dancing
Haha, I don't have pictures for this one. Initially, I wanted to put up a fantastic video of a Hiphop competition that my friend took part in. Don't think it would be appropriate since the vid includes all her team-mates as well. Better not.

I know this may sound out of this world, especially so for me, but it's something I've always wanted to learn. Thought that this would be really cool, to be practicing for shows and competitions, to choreograph new moves, to share your passion with many others who love it too. Think it would be a great achievement to be able to be part of all that. =) But my bones are too old for this already.. so..

These are the top 5 in my mind right now.. quite sad that I didn't persevere on to reach for what I love about. Well, 2009's coming to an end. I hope I wouldn't have too many regrets starting 2010 too. =]

I've found it!

Finally found it, my dream would be to 'reach' it! Don't wanna ruin my own goodluck streak, so shan't blurt it out here =p

JJust pray for me because I finally found something I really liked..

Will share the good news another time =)

Please update me when the new AI is out! ;)

Tai-tai Wanna be - FAILED

All dolled up pretty acting like a Tai-tai today; spending 6 hours in town for Christmas shopping. Monday would be a good time to buy or try on the clothes because it should be less crowded as most people should be working .

But I was wrong - it still is as packed with under twenty-ones clad in mini hot-shorts and two-inch wedges. Oh, and always with a glittering Bottega Veneta clutch alongside too.

Damn, how on earth do kids get so much money these days?! Are parents compensating them in form of dollars and cents when they couldn't spare more time for them?

Anyhows, my attempt to be Tai-tai was unsuccessful. By end day, I couldn't take it anymore. The heels were killing my feet! I dragged my feet like an Aunty, trying to QUICKLY seize a seat in a corner next to the fountain at Takashimaya (think in terms of REALLY aunty style), munching away Aunty Annie's (Aunty again) pretzel with absolute zero care in the world of how I unglamorous I looked. I was actually sitting just next to another real Aunty in berms and slippers with a big clip on her head.

MISSION FAILED.
But.. But..I was too hungry and my feet gave up walking. . =[
There goes my only day off in town!

FYI: I was quite hip today ok, granted that I even took the effort to put full makeup for once with act-like Tai-tai shades, white pants and a blingbling watch. I was all poised with back straight (I slouch sometimes..), tiny steps and really gentle movements even as I reach for my mobile phone. I normally just ransack my own bag like a rabbit burrowing underground. . Well, credits for acting like one, I think I got an 80! ;p

TV

Realised I haven't been watching the TV for reaalllyy long.

I don't even know if the new season of American idol is showing on Channel 5 yet.
God, I feel like a cave-woman!

Moonstone

Stumbled upon this nice alfresco place at the top of our very own iconic hilltop destination, Moon Stone @ Mt Faber.

I was there to catch a glimpse of the said tallest Christmas tree when we heard a faint, songful voice singing in perfect harmony with the sound of guitar.

Digressing a little, the tree doesn't really look like a real Christmas tree when we're standing right in front of it. It pretty much is an electric pylon decorated with many many colorful bulbs.

Anyway, back to the soothing voice that drew us towards it. We followed the melodious music all the way to Moon Stone, and even though I wasn't too hungry to spend $10 bucks on fries, the beautiful tunes were hard to resist (hypnotizing?!).

We've got a good seat facing the blossoming Sentosa, with the band singing right on our side. It was wonderful. :) The band was great, aptly singing romantic songs for the lovebirds around. I would go back again for its ambiance, really. :)

Me time.

I'm loving this "me" time on my day off =]

Woke up later than usual as I lazed on the bed for almost three-quartz of an hour; snuggling under my quilt enjoying the gentle breeze and subtle ray of sunshine entering through my window. This just reminds me of Christmas; how it gets cooler as the year draws to an end, yet how short-lived this joyous season always is.

I spent the afternoon catching up with mum with the latest gossips at work and at play. From the kitchen to the bedroom, from breakfast till dinner. Seemed like it's been a while since I last chat with her.

Time really flew by. Her smile seem to wrinkle a little more, yet through the lines I see a more buoyant and fervid lady who has braved through the many hurdles in her life. I respect and admire all that she is, for she who shaped me to what I am today. It's just heartwarming to hear her laugh and watch her do the little bits of everything with nothing less than all her love.

And Giorgio, we've spent like hours playing and practicing all that I've taught him. From retrieving toys to 'talking', I must say I felt like a proud mother myself. He is absolutely well-behaved; no temper no airs. Sometimes, too naive and obedient for his own good. So much so that I worry for him alot, even though he's such a big boy now. Watching him play and greet me so fervidly just makes me feel so much alive again. All that energy just puts a smile on my face, throwing everything else in the bustling world right to the back of my mind. I'm still amazed at how loyal and forgiving dogs are, proven so by Giorgio too. No matter how little I give to him, he still loves me more than before. I guess it's harder for people who do not have pets to understand this though..

And finally, the evening to spend time for myself, some pampering. . starting from foot soaks, facial masks to long scrub baths. And now, a good time to sit back and digest my fruitful day today and be thankful for that.

I wish I could convert moments like this into a video in my memory, something that I could always retrieve and re-watch these little moments again. These are just gentle reminders I am fortunate to be loved and have loved, and they've formed a very important part of me that will always be remembered. =]
