My own personal security guard

I have my own personal security guard! That's Garfield! He always sleep in a corner, next to my flower pots. This seem to be its usual activity to spend the noon to take its nap in that corner. And he loves to walk here and there along the corridor, like a security guard. I always joke with Guan that Garfield is my personal security guard, has shift time to guard in front of my place, and loves to patrol the corridor. Hehehe....

Look at its fierce eyes.. meow!

Catching a wink during its "shift"... hehe...

Garfield

This cat loves to loiter around my place and it always cuddles and sleep in the corner, next to my flower pots. I named it Garfield because it is orange in colour. Meow!

The longest walk

On 2nd day of Chinese New Year, I had a long walk from the beginning of Canopy Walk (Normaton Park) to Vivocity. It was probably the longest walk I ever had. We took 2 hours to finish the walk! Although we are tired, we had a sense of accomplishment!

The Alexandra Bridge

The bridge is soooo long!! And look at the height!!!

Love is like rain??

I picked up this quote from a movie, "love is like rain, when it has stopped, it will leave water puddles, like marks on your heart (or memories in your heart)".

But to this quote, I feel that it is too sad. Does that mean that love is short and just a passing phase? There isn't a lasting relationship and bond between 2 persons?

I feel that no matter what kind of relationship, there is no bed of roses. There is always "work" to do. Communication, understanding etc. Be it 3-months, 1-year, or even a 10-year relationship, we all have to work on it. Maybe we should say that there are phases in relationship. Hot and warm summer like the honeymoon period, cold and bitter winter during the cold war period...

So why don't we work hard in all our relationships, rather than waiting for the "rain" stop, giving love a death sentence?

Mini cupcakes!

These mini cupcakes were for my aunt's Xmas party and this was my first attempt to bake in smaller sizes. And for the pink buttercream, I used a new recipe, so it was easier to achieve the light pink colour. I liked it, it looks sweet!

My ugly sugar cookies

My first attempt on baking sugar cookies. UGLY! Hehehe....

Listening

Sometimes I find that it is very difficult to find a listening ear. Besides Guan, my friends all have their own stress and problems. At times they want to talk about it or need a listening ear. Although I tried very hard to be a listening ear for them but there are also times when I need them to listen to me as well. Yet, everyone is so busy talking about their own problems and ignored to listen.

Is everyone drowned in their problems, living in their own bubble and forget to listen? I can't help but to feel lonely at times, especially when no one listen to me.

Talking is so easy to do but listening? It is a virtue.
