Being Appreciated and Recognise

Have been in a good mod since last night. Thanks to an ART TRADE with fellow tumblr member.

What is an ART TRADE?
It's a special request between two artist, trading their artwork. Can be anything as long as both are okay. Commonly seen in tumblr is doodles/drawings that are being used for Art Trade.

Had decided to go for the art trade even though I been holding myself back, as I didn't believe my craft skills are up to standard. You won't know until you tried, ain't it?

Ever since I got in the the craft craft since July 2009, making cards for loved ones for birthdays and anniversary have been a norm for me. Appreciation and praise for the effort put in, as well as the unique design for each card.

In a way, soon I wanted those cards to be more than just a simple gift to my loved ones. I wanted to share my cards, reaching out to more than just those around me.

So, I started to post my cards on facebook. And around september/october poly break, I started to set up tumblr as well as devianART just to share my craftwork.

Even though I had done those with the mindset of wanting to reach out to more people, but I didn't really expect that it would work. Thus, every now and then, I'm pleasantly surprised to see notification of appreciation for all these card I had done.


Due to the Art Trade that I done recently, I had reach out to even more people as the fellow tumblr had posted my craftwork in her tumblr. Can you believe 200% increasement for followers?

And this happy feeling, or maybe I can call this as satisfaction, had been in me since last night ever since I saw how many people had liked my card.

I feel appreciated.
I feel recognised.
And it really boost my confidence about my card making.

And all these had to thank everyone out there.

Internet really do wonders ^^

Mails...

I wasn't really into mails... But recent two years, or rather last year to be specific, was the year that I had the most mails ever. And it's all because of one person...

Looking at those mails, even including hand-delivered, bring back memories and trigger thoughts and emotions.

Yet, those had belonged to the past. A past that is practically not possible to bring back at all.



Dear ________,

I miss the times when mails were an unexpected surprise from you.

From me.



Somehow, I feel that even if there's someone else who going to send me mails, it would never replace that feeling that I had last year. Because, those memories and emotions that trigger, belong to this certain someone. Someone who had once shared that special fate with me. Someone who shared that special number with me.

Letting Go?

"拿的起放得下"

Who's able to really do the above? I know I can't, even though I'm still trying to do so.

Things that happen in my life, especially when it comes to things related to relationships, I'm still unable to let things go, despite how badly that it had gone to.

At times I really wonder, is it really the end? How could it have ended, especially in such a bad way? As if, what we had been before, was just nothing?

Besties, soulmates, sisters, friends... Did all these names/status even meant anything to you before, or just that it no longer matters now?


It's so easy to just remove someone from facebook, msn, contact list... And it seems that it is as easy to remove someone from your life, from your past, as if it had never happen before.

Sorry, but I'm not able to do it. No matter how hurt I had gotten, not mater how upset I get when I sees how things had turn out, I still unable to let things go and move on. Unable to totally remove someone from my facebook, msn nor contact list, much less from my life or past.


I still recalled back on those times. Those times when we hang out. Those endless chat. Those common likings. Doesn't anything remind you of anything?


I told myself to stay out, to not be bother about your life. But times and again, I couldn't stop myself. Times and again, I asked myself, why bother, when I'm longer exists in your life. Why bother, when you no longer regards me?



I may not remember at a certain point of time... But I would never let it go from my mind... When a journey was once shared between us... Have you forgotten the road that we once walk together?

New Camera


Finally got my hands on my own digital camera!!! SAMSUNG ST600!

Bought it with my YOG pay ^^ ~S$550... 1 8gb memory card, 2 battery, 1 tripod, 1 cleaning solution, 1 pouch.

Decided to get this after a super duper long consideration! From Fujifilm, ended up being samsung dual screens... From PL150, become ST550... and now finally ST600!


Goodbye YOG pay after having to replace my lost mp3 and getting this camera...

If my handphone is Samsung as well... I would really be a samsung gal already (quote hidayah!)

Fate... is a funny thing

Just like what I had posted on my msn PM:
"Fate is a funny thing... You never know how things would turn out ultimately for you and somebody..."

Fate seems to be telling me, that things are out of our control at times, that situations ain't what we expect it to turn out to be. Things changes, so does humans as well as situations...

A lot of things had changed through this 1+year. Too many on related to relationship, especially some of the closer friendships.

There's a season for everything... There isn't a forever in anything... Especially for friendship... Even the closest friendship would drift apart...

Two incidents had shown me that letting time do its job would be better than to try to make things better. Rather than thinking things could be better by doing something for them and ignore your own feelings. Because, ultimately, they still going to be in their own mindset, thinking how much you are hurting them only.

At least, the distance was close up slightly with the other one. Unexpected, but it was really great chatting with her the other day... Wishing her well, and hopefully one day get to meet up again...

As for the other two... Leave it as such... I'm tired of trying to do something to improve or maintain the situation, when ultimately, the other party just can't be bother nor blame your for the unhappiness etc. Intruder? Spoil your happiness? Fine then, I leave, so stop blaming me when any other problem/unhappiness arise. Because I'm not even there anymore.



At least... I know, who are the friends who are truly there. And that is why I had posted in FB: " I don’t have to look for a true friend because if someone is true to me, they’ll just stay." I not staying for some anymore, because they doesn't even regards me as a friend to them.

An uncle had commented to monitor when I had commented that I'm lucky to have a few true/best friends around, and not just one/two only. Telling me that the truthful one have yet to appear and that's how life is.

But... Mine had appeared. Not just one or two. But a whole group of them. Situations since primary til now, I have seen who are the ones who are truthful, who are the ones who are sincere in the friendships. Even though most of these are peeps that I know online, but it's much more truer than any other friendship that I have.

Even though the longest is only seven years... But I know, there will be more years to come for this and the other relationships...


We shall see, what fate have for us in the future...

Friends?

Indeed, time proves everything.

I guess, this time, it truly being proven where I stand inside you. Simple birthday wish show much how you matter to a person.

I couldn't help wondering. Is that what you mean, when you had say 'Friends for life' or even when you use the term 'best friend'


Maybe everything had ended with a silent goodbye back to the meeting that we last had. A goodbye from you, that no one else ever acknowledge.




If that is the case. All the best to your future endeavor.


Trust me, August and September will be the time again to prove that I'm right. Because, it had happened before.



Sad to acknowledge that this is the ending of our journey. Whether each of us had done our part, I believe we know it in our heart. Whether you read this or not, I have no idea.

Remininse on the good old time of OTians

Been reading OT thread when MH mention it in FB... Still readin, many more pages to go...

The good old times... The confides, the laughter, the matchmaking, the joy... The friendships that forged and the closeness of a family. What have remain, is just the memories of it.

How many of us were as close as we used to be?
How many of us still remember each other?

It's just three years, or rather, two and a half years to be exact. But things had changed. Too many things.


That was the place where I found friendships
That was the place I used to pour out my problems
That was the place where we goof around.
That was the place we gotten close.

That was the place, where we start to nickname each other, as a certain 'family member'


And because of the friendships from this thread, Da even say that I prove that online friendships can last.

Thanks OTians... for the memories we had together...

Birthday Wishlist?

In less than a month to go!!!! Birthday Birthday Birthday!!!! Woots~ Less than a month to be still parts of the 10s, before going to the 20s!!!

Anyway, was thinking of writing up a list... Something like a do's and don'ts for my birthday presents~ hee~ True that I'm ok with any presents, but then, would be much happier if it's something that is much more useful to me.

Don'ts:
  1. I'm a jigsaw puzzle lover, however, I would much appreciate if it's given to me as a gift voucher rather than a box of jigsaw puzzle/solved jigsaw in a frame. I like to solve them myself, or with friends and family, but not the completed ones. Having to be soooo crazy over jigsaw puzzle last year had made me buy a lot of jigsaws. By giving me gift voucher would enable me to choose the designs that I yet to own, as well as the design that I love to own.
  2. I like plush toys, however, I'm having too many plushies with me due to me going to arcade to play on the UFO catcher and similar machines. I'm rather choosy over the plushie that I own, especially with the appearance of the plush. Giving me plushies would most likely to result it being left to one side, or up at my blogshop ultimately to clear space @.@ Not that I don't appreciate it!


Do's:
  1. Gift vouchers or similar will be appreciated. Be it for movies, crafting, makaning or shopping...
    Crafting gift vouchers can be of these places: Junior De Artist, Made With Love, Papermart
    Movie: Cathay or GV
  2. Though I say gift vouchers are good, I would prefer it to be in cash. Not money faced!! Just being practical. Because I can used it with my saving to get my crafting stuff or those stuff on my wishlist.
  3. Talking about wishlist, that will be the best best best gift ever. Hee~ BUT!! I know it's not really cheap, other than the last few. Would love it if anyone get those books for me!
  4. Personalized or handmade stuffs are good as well. Just a simple HANDMADE card. Or a personalized accessory (eg. necklace or keychain or hp strap). Regarding HANDMADE card, I can be rather fussy though @.@
  5. A makan treat would be good as well ^^

That's all for now I guess.

Oh~ By the way... I have membership card for Action City, Junior De Artist, Made With Love, Punkstar, Jigsaw Puzzle World *can't rmb e rest for now* If going to these places to get stuff, do let me know!

Thots

Seems to have lots of stuff going through my mind currently. School, CCA, relationship, and whatever there is that I yet to be able to categorise into...

School:
Just had one quiz down... and 5 paper to go next week. Then it will be 2 weeks break. Projects and stuff... Glad that most lab pract are over and done with. So left with projects to settle.

Pretty vex over PDD product. Wish it can really just turn out the way it ought to be. Solutions were offered by others, perhaps ought to take it up? Couldn't help but ask myself, why did I even choose to do on snowskin mooncake when both me and my groupmate didn't try it before. And best thing is? mooncake isn't in the season now... zZz

Things are pretty manageable, but just confusing. Don't want to think so much into it le.


CCA:
in just a few days later, it marks the end of SA for me. 2 years. That's how long it been. Lots of stuff that happen which I half wish it didn't, especially for this 1 year. But still, I'm glad to be in this cca, for it have bring friendships to me. Experiences that I would never forget. Dreading, yet looking forward to it at the same time. *shrug*

as for the other cca. I really wish things are resolved and settled by ytd. I can't help but wonder, it is a wrong move all along? The decision to join, to stop for a period of time, to resume, to be a better leader. Or perhaps, all these shouldn't have been done? To leave it as how it is 2 years ago? It seems to be, if that was done, things will be less complicated now?

But like I always say, things happen for a reason and with each decision comes along with a mark that is left. A mark that is not removable, it may fade, but not gone. But, in a way, it feel as if those marks and decisions are huanting me, questioning me if this is indeed what I decided on, if I'm able to face up to the consequence of those decisions.

Thinking too much? Perhaps I am. Things can be rather simple. But they ain't, when things are interlope with other stuffs, like priorities, or even relationship.

It still boils down to how much I willing to sacrifice isn't it? But to sacrifice, you have to know the priority. All I know for myself is that, I'm a 1st-come-1st-book kinda person. I don't like cancel out on people or events. And that's the way I been doing things. However, it seems that to some, I'm not prioritizing my stuff well, that I'm not putting enough effort. If there are people doubting my skill, I'm ok with it, because there is still a lot more that I need to learn, to improvise on. Yet, commitment being questioned, that's one thing that I find it hard to accept.

Relationship:
Not that anything is screwed up or what. But just that there been too many bumps and hiccups this year. Some got back on course and moving along well, yet some had fall off the course and gone in a totally different direction. I hate it when I feel/have the impression that I'm being blame for the drifting etc in the relationship. It's a two way thing, it takes two hands to clap. I don't deny, I'm taking some for granted at times, that I seem to be can't be bother with it at times. It gets really weary at times, if it keep happening again and again, around the same issue. I learn about not holding too tightly, afterall, people comes and goes, even for the bestest friends.

Been thinking about quite some stuff, especially about future. And chat with my PDD mate had left me thinking. Both of us pretty much share the same mindset. Now, the thing is no about how we think, but rather, how much of it will be put in action? 100%? 50%? or perhaps 0%?




Lost in a way. Yet seems to be in 'control' in another.


Time is too short for regrets. Before you know it, dec will be over, 2009 will be over. On the last day of 2009, a reflection is indeed needed...

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

December's here

2009... one last month left... 11 months have already gone...

Year 2009 have gone by way too fast. Just can't believe that it's already 1st December... Where had the previous 11 months gone to?!


Too much stuff happen, til the point that I find it hard to believe they had only happened this year... School, work, friendship, cca... Too many~

One last month to go, before 2009 comes to an end... Part of me can't wait to start a new year... While part of me just wish that time slows down...

Suddenly feeling so lost. Too much stuff going around in my head that I can't even be sure what those thoughts are.

Realise quite a few stuff this year... Shall slowly reflect on the last hour of the last day of 2009.

Just realise that it's the month for my TP. Really hoping that I can just get it on my first try.


Better get back to work. Haix~

A regular?

Somehow, never once that I will though myself to be relate as a regular customer at any of the stores despite the fact that I had sign quite a lot of membership since June '08...

But that term was used to describe me when BTP and I were checking out the Jigsaw Puzzle World @ Marina Square last thursday. She referred me as their regular to the delivery men, when the delivery men were trying to recommend some jigsaws to me.

I was surprise, really surprise that one day, I'm link to that term. Especially since that the last time I had bought jigsaw was back in July? *shrug*


Come to think of it, it feel kinda good and bad in a way... Good that I'm being recognise as their customer, a familiar customer... Bad in the sense that I'm going to that shop a bit way too often?! o.O

Tired

Taken from devian.com

In less than 8hours, I'll be back in school for the third week.

I have no idea why, but it seems, I getting so tired with school. Projects, tutorial, practical report, journals reviews!

It's not as if I have not gone through it before. But somehow, this semester seem so much tougher even though it's just barely two weeks only.

Really feel like just letting go. But seriously, it's dumb to do so at this point of time already. Just another year to go, that is, if there isn't anymore failing.

Somehow, I'm feeling really lost this semester. It's like I really don't know what exactly am I suppose to do.



Really feel like just put down everything and walk away. Yes, escaping is crossing my mind again and again. The need to get away. The urge to hide away... I just doesn't want to end up venting on the others unintentionally. But where to escape to? Where to hide away at? When the person/thing that I really want to escape from is actually myself?

On/Off button?

Had a talk with Da this aftnn during our impromptu meetup...

This was mention in the conv:
How I wish there is an On/Off button... To my thoughts... To my feelings... To everything!!!



And just now on the way back... I can't help wishing for the same...

To have an On/Off button just to switch off my emotion/thoughts/feelings/etc! Be just like a robot with an On/Off button...

But then, if i'm a robot in the first place, I won't even have emotions/thoughts/feelings isn't it? I won't even have to be bother by those..

Just Because?

Read this in someone else blog and find it to be rather meaningful...

Just Because – I’m quiet–it doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot to say
Just Because – I appear happy–doesn’t mean everything’s ok
Just Because – I’m sarcastic–doesn’t mean I don’t take things seriously
Just Because – I forgive–doesn’t mean I forget
Just Because – I don’t listen to you-doesn’t mean I don’t care
Just Because – I’m gullible–doesn’t mean you can lie to me
Just Because – I’m stubborn–doesn’t mean I’m not easy going
Just Because – I don’t show my feelings–doesn’t mean I don’t have any
Just Because – I don’t say I love you–doesn’t mean I don’t
Just Because – I’m honest–doesn’t mean I’m outspoken
Just Because – I’m not like you–doesn’t mean I’m weird
Just Because – I’m unsure–doesn’t mean I’m afraid


Just because of a certain thing doesn't mean that what you think is right/correct... Afterall, to assume is to make an ass out of you and me...


Just because I had kept quiet, doesn't mean that I have accept it.
Just because I had kept quiet, doesn't mean that I doesn't know anything.
Just because I had kept quiet, doesn't mean that I don't feel the resentment.


There's a lot in me that others may not know... A lot more than even I have figure out myself...


Who exactually can say that they understand themselves? I know I can't... Times and again, I had surprise/shock myself how little I understand myself... It's like, I'm knowing myself better each day, but at the same time, I understand myself lesser? *Shrug*

All I'm sure of know is that, it's not how much a person understand me that matters... But it's how much they appreciating me that truly matter to me...

Just because we're on talking term
Doesn't mean that we were still how we used to be...
