Have been mia for very long.


Basically my life is all about work right now, my boss was great to me, my welfare was good, and he allowed me flexibility at work. Ofcoz, I have also strive to make myself useful in the brewery. Learnt alot about the business and customer relations. 

Really happy when customers compliment about my smile, my service, my enthusiasm and all. 

Life was ironic for me.

Never be too quick to speak, nothing is really definite in life. 

Long ago I never thought I could be accustomed to such working life, I would never imagine myself being in a job the whole week, doing the same thing and all... I enjoyed work right now.

It's like long ago I have never imagined myself liking club songs or rock songs.

Long ago I wouldn't have interest in TCM and now JL approached me about it, and since 2 years back I actually wanted to know about TCM cuz it's a great safe solution to elder health. 

That brings me to the irony that long ago I have never considered migration, I would be devastated if I leave all my social connections and life in sg. But right now I actually have thoughts to go to Sydney. I mean like there is nth that ties me down to sg anymore. 

Now I understand why ppl say that friends could be established again. In life, there is a limit of close friends you could possibly have, cuz of the need of connections and the scarcity of time. And friendship now is a different phenomenon, all these years I have been searching for those kind of die-die-stick-together friendship that do everything together go everywhere together. But then it's not practical in modern society. 

Firstly cuz we take connectivity for granted due to social media. We lose that value of physically spending time together. 

Secondly there are too much interest activities in the world that ppl have different tastes.

Thirdly time drifts ppl apart faster cuz much things could be completed now in the same period of time as before. 

Thus I chanced upon groups on google, it's amazing about the number of ppl liking a particular interest. So it becomes task specificity social support model, we go to different groups of ppl to seek what we want at it's best possible chance. You don't approach a photography club if you need help in business, you simply approach the entrepreneur club as it yields higher chance of finding help. 

That being said, I guess I'm saving money for a trip to Sydney to see the culture there. And ofcoz, the retirement villagers there. It could be a path for me in the future.

How I Met Your Mother has officially ended.

The last 2 episodes finale filled in all the gaps of the whole drama.
All in all, it's so "life", every thing about it, is like life in a dramatic way.
In the end, at some point in time, we still gotta say goodbye,
There's a time for everything, for all relationships,
Sometimes you realize the journey you've been taking has reached its final stop.
So the question becomes : Where do you go next?

That's probably the hardest, most intriguing question at some point in our lives.
I felt like Ted, except perhaps in a different manner.
I started off didn't really care about social relationships,
I am just friendly to anyone, then I get close to a few gradually,
then it hurts me when we drifted,
and the cycle repeats.

No matter how close were you,
I guess in the end, everyone got their own family,
own careers, and time spent would be much less,
but then once in a while on big moments when you reunite,
That's when time seemed to just rewind to the past.

Most important moments shouldn't be missed, you cant have them back, so don't give up crazy moments with your friends, they're probably the real-est kind of love you could get even for a moment. Some people are worth the effort to keep, some just have expiration dates.

Ted also thinks he is ready to be a relationship guy at the start of the drama,
but we found out that the whole 9 seasons is preparing him to be a good father.
Somehow I'm like that too,
I felt that having kids is the only worthy love I could pour to.
I felt everything is so superficial,
and that I always come across to friends as Older Brother Syndrome,
not really the kind of friends people have,I am rather awkward.
Yea often I heard comments that i'm like a "father" to my friends.
So perhaps I would want to skip all the relationship to having kids.
But then it's impossible, cuz I alone can't do that,
need a compatible someone..........
Someone...... perhaps with a yellow umbrella at the train station of Farhampton.  
But things happen for a reason, I'll just have to wait for it.

Ted is "old" for his age, is rather a bore, and likes things other ppl dont,
he liked to lecture and display his architecture prowess,
capable of perhaps dating at the lighthouse,
saying cold jokes and stuffs......
I feel so much like him....... hopelessly romantic.....

Anyway yea, then Barney finally became father too,
his marriage fell with Robin, cuz the sparks are too great,
that they are overwhelmed, and Robin is definitely not the kind of mum,
but at least they are frank to each other, complete honesty,
just like the vow.
Robin found her love in the end too,
at the right time, when all the possible knots are untied,
unfortunate that the mother, Tracey, actually died,
but in her final years, Ted was the perfect man for her,
loved her every moment of his life,
So for Robin, her final relationship would not cause her to be tied down with family responsibilities.
