When you lose something, you gain something else.. =)
Have you heard this before? Often, when the door of happiness closes on us, we spend so long looking at it that we don't realise that another has opened. It's very true, I feel. Sometimes, what we just need is the courage to let go and move on.
Just like the pic above, which I'm sure all of us have seen it before, there's always two sides to everything in life. Are you the half full or half empty type of person? I think I am still the hall full type. Keke. Let me tell you why I suddenly tot of saying so.
SO, I lost my phone on Friday rite. Yeah although I didn't tear or wail over it, but definitely I felt heartache deep down. But, these two days, I've not only overcome it, but suddenly I feel that the ill wind blew about something good too! Keke.
On Monday, I met my dad at Tamp central to go to Hello shop to get a new phone. Hehe. He can get it for free since his plan is over 2 years liaoz and can upgrade. Yeappie Whoopie!! But the happy thing is not that I managed to get back the same model phone, but because I actually spent quality time with my dad!! MY DAD!! Oh my gosh, the last time we went out together alone, was probably more than 10 or even 15 years ago. No joke. But dat nite, we had dinner at TM foodcourt together. We talked about our work, & that was when I realised he works in Kembangan and he realized I work in Tanjong Pagar. & he started telling mi about what are the good food available in my work area. Keke. Yar. You can tell how long we have not talked to each other like this.
We talked about working OT, and he was shocked at my hours. Haha. and no OT pay. He then started to tell mi not to go drinking too much, and reallie behaved like a dad and say that he and my mum have given me alot of freedom since young (which is very true), and they want me to know how to think for myself. Yes, daddy. I will!!
We then took a walk together as we headed for home. That felt SO GOOD! Side by side with my daddy. Again, there's no memory recollection of whether we did this before, but as far as I know, NEH. We didn't. So that Monday nite became one of my most treasured nites ever. Daddy also insisted on paying for half of my 2GB memory card, despite I dun tink he earns alot. That was just so sweet, although he was very fierce when he insisted. Keke. I know deep down inside, he dotes on me alot. So happie he managed to buy a phone casing and pouch also, after so many months of wanting to buy. Seeing daddy using his old fone, somehow I felt guilty for getting another new one. Haiz. Maybe I should start to be even more easily contented with my life.
Aniwae, moving on, I've been trying to recover my contacts these days. & what's a better way then to speak to my frenz directly to get their contacts? Hee. So, tonite I decided to msn some peeps whom I seldom tok to liaoz. & WELL, it feels good to have a chat~~ Shiling from Olive (who updated me so much on the happenings), Shu yi from Hall 6 (who gave me much of the gals' contacts and shared wif mi on her final year), Zhiwei from Hall 6 (realised he and Cuishan are working so near me and Diana and we can all meet for lunch!), Sihui from Onine (my bestie in JC days and it feels gd to catch up with her again), Kailin from Hall 6 (My junior date! so good dat we are still in contact and promised to have dinner someday), and I also caught up abit with Junxian, Wayne, Xiaoling, Jingxian. Keke. Feels good!!
Like I said, there's always different ways of viewing things. Keke. Just for fun, do you see a frog, a horse or both? Well, I see both. and most of us should see both bahz. So, once again, I'm energized and prepared for whatever life has in store for me. Everything in my life happens for a reason, either to teach me to laugh louder or not to cry too hard. I now laugh about the worst Saturday of my life, and I am thankful for the things I gained out of it. Precious moments with my dad, realisation of my dad's love for me, chance to catch up wif old frenz, chance to download new songs into my new fone, realisation of the need for stronger sense of responsibility as a teacher, more determination to be a role model for my students, what more do I ask for... =)
Lalala. Positivity rulez!! Thanks to all those who helped me to recover my contacts. Muakz!! Have a good week ahead everybody..
