Halloween
Halloween was really awesome this year! Though nothing really happening happened, it was the first Halloween I had with my bro and his fiancee. An ang moh event with my own family! How cool that is! And of course, bro drove down cos i was too sick to drive up :P But of cos, being typical sgreans, we never change our habits... It was a mahjong and and chilli crab weekend :)






Another highlight of the event was the act of giving. A gift to someone from the next generation. "Trick or Treat!" That little 5-year-old boy who held out his ghoulish hand toy, looking up at me, innocently hoping for candy, following the tradition of the American culture. This is probably the first time giving out something to some young one during a festival. It just feels... unfamiliar. I didn't really know what I should do, how should I respond, and I even hoped I had dressed up for the occasion and not get too caught up with making chilli crab. Alas... I guess I'm just too lazy and broke to dress up. =) I guess time is changing for us mid-twenties...

Last year, this time, Halloween was spent alone... and there were "Trick Or Treat" knocks on the door which I ignored. heh~ Give AS LJ some peace :)

5 years
I just realized my project lead is just about 5 years older than I am... which kinda make me wonder... Will I be like him in 5 years time? Will I reach his current standard or even surpass him? He gives me a really smart Stanford-like feel, but is that from a whiz brain, or is that from experience? I only hope I'd be able to find my way around this foggy area of the software woods in 5 years. Then again... 5 years is probably already too late.

It's also interesting to see where all my other friends have progressed in 5 years... It's a pretty long time to gain some pretty good experience. hmmm...


Give justice
Alrighty... shall give some justice to my landlord for agreeing to waive my rent late fees that I was whining last time... I guess they're still pretty reasonable peeps... heh~ Probably more because of the more dedicated and friendlier staff in the management office right now, as compared to a year or two ago...

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.
