Something meant to be shared 真水无香

好久没有仰着看天空了

天空依然那么高 那么广阔

思想起飞

自由 无局 无限

半夜    从睡梦中觉醒

黑暗    却

嗅到你睡的气息      在我身旁

平静的节拍         不远也不近

渐渐的            透过黄的路灯

我看到你那半张着的唇

和那浓浓的睫毛

从未有过的安全感 伴着睡意

迷糊的明白了

此生有伴

I don’t have a BFF.

Don’t get me wrong, I have many many great friends – I have number of great girlfriends and I have number of very close friends and I have number of very dear friends. I love each and every friendship in its own individual way. But I wouldn’t call any of them my best friend forever, a.k.a, BFF.

The last time that I had a BFF was back to my high school days. I needed a BFF, just like everybody. I needed someone to support me and back me up even when I did something stupid; I needed someone to share my secrets; I needed someone to have lunch with; and I needed someone to go to toilet with!

But now, does BFF sounded a little childish to you?

This could be a good sign of independence. Nowadays, I can eat by myself, I can go to watch a movie by myself, I can even go toilet by myself, best of all, I don’t hide my secrets no more.

On the other hand, this could be the multiple roles that all of us carry, an employee, a daughter, a wife, a girlfriend, a boss, a mother etc etc. We can’t just hang around with one BFF, we have too many responsibilities and roles to fulfill and I guess we just don’t have the time and effort to make any or just one BFF.

This might also because our social circle has been expended since then, so we need to deal with all kinds of people, and some of them might end up become our friends too.  

Is this just me? What about you? Do you still have a BFF?

Lipstick Jungle, I absolutely loved LOVED this! It is the ‘grown up’ version of the “Sex and The City’. In fact, this is based on a book that is written by the same author of “Sex and The City’!

I also loved Sex and The City, it inspired me, I can prove it! It came at right years in my life and taught me to live my life to the fullest (I mean it). However, I always find the characters in Sex and The City are too extreme to relate. Unlike Lipstick Jungle, when you watch it, you feel you ARE one of them.

They both are very glamours and fashionable. But probably is age, Lipstick Jungle is just more real.

Girls, go check out this fabulous TV series and remember - there is ‘jungle’ out there and you are not alone.

Lipstick Jungle made me believe that I can grow older, gracefully.

I am so pleased that Archie is eating so well. He started solid food just a month ago and he is happily eating all kinds of veg and fruits… this made me feel very proud .. and relief …

This might sound strange but If I die tomorrow, I will die in peace, because I know he will survive.

First day of 2009.. oh my.. What a year when I think of the things that happened to me in 2008!

‘Eventful’ is the word I’d say –

Pregnancy, understanding the process of the miracle of life;

Marriage, love and commitment to a man that I am deeply connected to and empathize with;

Birth of my child, motherhood, a different level of womanhood, love and beyond;

Career, promotion to a director level, been valued and recognized, and still so much to offer;

Travel, still managed to few places, including Australia, the place I always wanted to be;

One more identity - Australian.  . Apart from KL, China and Scotland a place Archie can call it his fourth home;

Last but not least, a young family. A place I call home.

For 2009 there are few things that I hope to do –

Getting my shape back, dance class that is. It is the only way that keeps me passionate and energized;

More traveling, which I am planning to do in this year, might be family trip to Melbourne, Scotland and China or a girls trip to Spain, I am definitely gearing up for them all;

Skydiving, I started to have second thoughts since I had a baby, but I am pretty sure I will do it;

Driving license, I know I know, I must get it done this year;

Visit the place I was born, this is a tough one, so much emotional baggage and people to deal with, I am looking forward to reveal this side of my past to Al. At the same time, I am anxious to see if I am strong enough to re-live the past.

So, with all these pre-planning, 2009 is a year for me to ‘tune-down’ and focus on being a good mum and wife. It will be quite quiet and mellow, yet full of new meaningful experiences.

I am very looking forward. Bring it on, 2009!
