sunshine and rollercoasters

sunlight is streaming through the window. its warmth makes me smile, and i remember that i'm loved :)

it's been an emotional rollercoaster of a year. but then again, which year isn't a crazy ride? there are times i wish i could get off. but most times i'm glad i stayed on. you learn many things... see things from different angles and altitudes. you make new friends... and memories...

the ride's worth the risk. exhilarating. slow and scenic at times... fast and furious at others.

you and me? i wish i had an answer. sometimes you just need to see how things pan out. time brings healing... and answers.

let's stay on this rollercoaster and see where it takes us. in the meantime... enjoy the view :)

organized chaos

my room is a mess at the moment. books all over the place. i kinda like it like that. it not only makes me feel productive... it also gives the room a 'lived in' feel. organized chaos. love it.

neat freaks stay away. you might get a panic attack ;P

feeling rather uninspired with regards to what to cook for dinner. shall go mull over it while i geek out over battlestar...

productivity, caffeine and pinings for the snow..

i love working at a cafe. the smell of coffee... fresh muffins just out of the oven (YUM... especially the raspberrywhitechocolateones.. mmmmm.....)... the adrenaline rush during lunch hour... chatting with random people... the joy that comes with feeding people... haha... and of course my bosses (mario and maria). they're awesome. absolutely love working with them :D plus i just got a pay raise. so hooray for me! ;)

i'm going to miss the cafe culture in melbourne. all the little lanes with their quaint little cafes and restaurants. so much more character (and heaps better unadulterated coffee) than starbucks, coffee bean... gloria jeans... you know... the usual stuff we get back home. but i'm glad that some little places have opened up that have great coffee for a decent price. one of them is just opposite my place in sg - peaberry and pretzel. love their coffee. nice flavour, good texturing. and they have a huge new shiny coffee machine. it has little fairy lights! although i don't think that really adds to the flavour of the coffee... it makes me smile. i like shiny things :)

i've also been incredibly productive this week (applause please!). i'm very proud of myself. haha. drove up to boxhill to study at mia's a couple of times. no internet, and no other distractions. not even food! it was great.i forgot how peaceful it is in the suburbs, and how much easier it is to concentrate. the power of the burbs.

i wanna go back to the snow. 80cm cover this week! arrggghhhh!!!

of memories and roadtrips

so once again.... it's been awhile... and much has happened. and i'm going to try blogging again (after being bugged by multiple people... you know who you are!!).

i've gained some. and lost much since i last wrote. while looking through old posts and walking down memory lane... i can't help but wish that i hadn't done a lot of things.. and wished that i had done some. but regrets don't take you very far, and all you can do is look to the future and see where that takes you.

before this turns into one of those 'feelsorryformyself' kinda posts... i have to say that i had a GREAT TIME on the mountains recently. great snow and great company, and i reallytruly enjoyed myself :D looking forward to more craziness as the semester goes on!

little joys in life. watching snowfall and the sun set over the mountains. drinking hot coffee after coming in from the cold. good conversations with oldfriends, and singing on roadtrips. makes every day a great day. praise God :)
