As we mourn and grief for the dearly departed, we also take account how the person has lived her life; and how she's influenced and affected our lives in her own special ways. We look at her life and how she lived it. My grand aunt lived a full life till the very last day. She loved her family and everyone around her. Even when she was diagnosed with heart problems, she continued her loving duties as a nanny for her youngest grand niece and nephew.
Death is but an end of one journey and a start of another. Death is a point in life whereby we the living have to pause and to reflect. How have we lived our lives thus far? Have we cared enough for our loved ones? Have we cared for ourselves, enough to ensure that we get to live our lives to the fullest possible? We take things for granted and forget how fragile life is. And we pray never to live a life of regrets.
All of us will remember Aunty Lily for her ever jovial personality, her love for mahjong, the hairdressing salons and for stuffing us with her home-cook meals. She lived the life she wanted and at the same token, she put time aside to care for everyone else. She was a beautiful human being with a caring heart. She was not only a mother, a sister, an aunty; she was an inspiration. We take in comfort that she's gone to a better place, rid of earthly burdens and pain. And we look forward to the day we are all united once again.
We'll miss you, Aunty Lily. In our thoughts and hearts, the legacy of your life will live on through generations ahead. Enjoy your much deserved eternal rest and peace.
As we draw closer to yet another year, I'm sure many will agree that it's been eventful in every way possible. And I'm equally sure that it wasn't plain sailing for the past 11 months or so for everyone. That's life. Everyday is a winding road and not everyday is a Sunday.
Sure we will have good times. There will be bad times as well. But what makes us different from everyone else? It's how we handle the downside of life. Of course it's always easier said than done. Unless we walk in the other person's shoes, we won't know how BAD they're having it. But sure as things go down, they have to eventually come up (and vice versa).
For me, it's been a year of untimely deaths (of friends, relatives and loved ones), work and personal health issues. I've just lost my favourite grand Aunt this week. There are depressing / frustrating stuff that I'm still facing but those are personal battles I have to face myself. It has not entirely been a good year for me but neither has it been THAT bad a year. There were precious little moments that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
And in all honesty, it's no walk in the park whenever tribulations comes our way. No one said life would be easy. But if we don't fight to survive and we give up the struggle, we'll never know what living is.
Just today, I had an awful day at work. But at the end of the day, because I reached out and helped a fellow human being, I went home feeling great. The seas were exceptional choppy and rough today. Even the most iron-stomached person got seasick. And as I was returning home at the jetty, I saw an elderly woman hyperventilating and looking very pale. She was struggling to walk straight. Her equally elderly husband was next to her. I asked her what's wrong and from the way she replied, it was obviously seasickness and a mild panic attack. It didn't helped that she had a pacemaker. I helped calm her down and taught her to do some basic breathing exercises in order to regulate her breathing rhythms. She was fine after doing so. Both of them keep thanking me and wanting to buy me supper. I obligingly declined. As I walked away, she said, "thank you for having such a kind soul."
To all the socially ungraceful Singaporean heartlanders that walked them by and giving her that "what the fuck" look... I'm truly ashamed to be Singaporean.
It was a shitty day, and there was nothing I could do about it. But because of this simple act of kindness, I don't feel so shitty after all. And I know for a fact that out there right now, there is this old lady who has regain a glimmer of hope for the human race.
So for whatever reasons, your live is not going your way...
So if you're lost and on your own You can never surrender And if your path won't lead you home You can never surrender
Due to my work commitments, I've hardly any time to keep this blog going. I know, don't sigh... what to do? Anyway, I thought that since there's many ardent readers here, I'll provide a brief public service to furnish some of you who not familiar with some urban slang :
WHAT IS A COCKBLOCK? You've heard it many times before. So what is it? To COCKBLOCK is to prevent another person, intentionally or inadvertently, from having sexual intercourse with a third party. A cockblock or cockblocker is a person who engages in such obstruction or intervention.
Some of you might just be guilty of it for whatever reason. It takes skill to be a Jedi cockblocker. I'm still learning... just to irritate the hell out of some people I know.
Next... WHAT IS A CAMEL TOE?
Nope, that's not it. Not even close! It's a term that refers to the outline of the labia majora seen through tight clothes. What? You haven't the faintest clue? Pictorial example...
Got it? Good. You can stop staring at the picture already. And that concludes this session of my public service. Till then...
The following is taken from The Huffington Post. So I guess he's not called "Tiger" for nothing. He definitely has a set of golf balls and wields a mighty golf club... hahaha!
Mindy Lawton, Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress: Tiger Is 'Very Well Endowed'
Mindy Lawton, a 34-year-old waitress, claims to have had a year-long affair with Tiger Woods filled with regular sex in a range of locations. The Daily Mailwrites that the pair met in the summer of 2006 at a diner where Lawton worked.
According to Lawton, Woods is quite the lover. He is "very well endowed" and "knows his way around the bedroom. On a scale of ten I would give him 12," she tellsNews of the World. Lawton's sister, Lynn, adds that Mindy described their sex as "extremely good."
Woods was fond of sleeping with her in numerous locations -- from parking lots to the shower to the garage -- but the golfer refused to have sex in his bedroom.
Lawton also says that Woods has a particular passion for the color red, which he is known to wear on Sundays at golf tournaments. But according to Lawton, that isn't the only place he enjoys the color:
"His favourite [underwear] were my red panties with black lace. He had a thing about red and said he always wore it on Friday as that was his mother's favourite colour."
Both articles also reference Woods' penchant for sending steamy text messages. One claimed he was "dreaming of being inside of her," according to Lynn Lawton. This claim would fit with the alleged text messages he sent another purported mistress, Jaimee Grubbs.
