10k miles.
Over 10k miles, the 737 plane took me away from my home country, from her world, back into my own little world, back to my own little room here in the States. That marks the end of a side chapter, and a start of a whole new chapter, a chapter of solely my own, where I work for only myself (for once). I didn't even bother to message her a final sms when I left, because I already what would ensue. Nothing. That is what would happen. Nothing would happen. Cos she won't even be bothered to reply a message even out of courtesy, as usual. Anyhoo, a new chapter has begun. Shall return to find that internal peace I used to have a year ago. Jaded, is perhaps the feeling of some of us. But without this feeling on one thing, it's hard to concentrate on the other, because of split attention.

知音红颜.
Such is hard to find. One who's willing to share your joy and burdens, who really wants to know what you're thinking, what you're doing, what your plans are, who's someone you could really confide in freely and without worries, who'd do likewise in return. Of course, we should dispel the immature perception that such has to be a girlfriend. I guess, like what the show I'm watching tells me, any kind of relationship does require (consistent) time to build and that could take years. Shall see what happens. Shall be more bothered by my own stuff now.

Family and Friends.
Met up with a whole bunch of people when I went back this time. Makes me feel my own presence. Friends willing to organize meetings and meet up despite the busiest schedules. Just looking at my family and my friends gives me the drive to want to excel to the best I can. Parents are definitely successful role models to follow. Doctor friends (and relatives) who're learning much in the medical field and contributing to the longetivity of humanity. Doctorate friends pushing on the new wave of science. Friends who have their own plans and ambitions. How not, can I sit and do nothing? How not, can I make my family and friends proud of me, to be able to say proudly that they know me? Some are really "scary" in a good way. I'm just glad that Singapore has such people around. Like I said to some friends, the next 5-10 years will be pretty interesting. When family (of my generation) and friends finally make it there, when family and friends have their own family. Life is after all, interesting.

New new year resolution.
Work-life balance. Shall add this to my set of resolutions this year. Shall spend a little more on entertainment and of course, Friday nights shall be absolutely no-work Friday! Maybe I shall make Tuesday night a no work night as well to break up the week. Shall visit more places this year! =) Awww... sounds like there's a bit too much things lined up for this coming year. Needs careful planning.

Shall not waste time. Get cracking!

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
