We all need some sunshine.
________________________________________________________________
I've never felt fear like this - so real, so near.
It's hard to explain, it just comes naturally. You aren't conscious of it, but it happens and when it strikes, it robs away every happy gene in you.
The initial shock that took us all by surprise.
You gotta be strong, and you try your best. If not for yourself, for the one most affected.
I'm praying - for some hope, some miracle.
Faith is what we lean on.
Tmr has better got to be brighter day.

The adult talk.
________________________________________________________________
We've been planning lately, on our big day to come.
The engagement was last september and besides that bottle of bubbly we consumed in celebration, we haven't really sat down to talk about the details.
And so the other, while i was at work on a satuarday, dearie went out to buy a notebook and a map. He opened the map, short-listed three areas, and used a pink highlighter to mark the area all within three busstops of the train station in the estates.
When i got to his place that night for dinner, he proudly brought out the map and showed me what he did. I was amused just looking at his earnest face.
And so, that marked the beginning of our house hunt.
I'm only 24, and never did i imagine i'll be doing something this adult at such a young age.
Just the other day we went to a showflat in bishan. There, we sat down with a property agent and she did our cpf checks and worked out the mortgage and stuff with us. My parents were with us and chipping in advice as we went along. All the while while they were talking, i was thinking to myself : "wow, i'm an adult".
But adulthood can be harsh when you sit down and do your sums. Dearie and i havent worked that long and we aren't earning that much.
What we need to pay for: house, renovation, furniture, wedding, honeymoon. A whole load of stuff and me being me, i don't really want to compromise on any of it.
And so we're saving and somehow we'll work it out.
Like all great leaders and politicians, i believe in the chinese saying "chen jia li ye". Which basically means first you set up a home, and then you concentrate on your career.
With affairs of the heart out of your mind, you can move on to conquer the marketplace.
For now, my "ah lao" is in reservice. And hey, even though i'll be married soon, for now, it means a week of "singlehood" for me. Woohoo! heh.

Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
