Anime Fest Asia 09

Went to Anime Fest Asia 09 over the weekend and both Fel and I decided to cosplay!! Lolz. It made the experience soooo much more fun! But extremely tiring as well. Everywhere we walked, people would stop us and ask if they could take a picture. And the moment we pose, a few dozen other cameras appear and before u know it, you're stuck there as a model...

Lunch hour was really embarressing as well. We'd be eating at the food court in a shopping mall and by passers would just like stare... Lolz! But occasionally you'd hear the "Hey! Its naruto and sasuke!" Hahahz. So fun! Lolz...

But for me, I guess the best part was when you see the eyes of kids just glow with excitement when they see you, and they keep tugging at their parents clothes and then the parents will come and ask if their children can take a picture with you... Its like fulfilling a part of their dream...

The most beautiful meteor shower ever...

Met up with some friends last night to catch dinner and the lenoid meteor shower together, but we were met instead with showers and thunderstorm... And when that finally cleared, we were left with a sky lit orange by the city lights. It was an empty dream to wish to see stars in the cosmopolitan city of Singapore... Going home, I went to bed dissapointed in the wee hours of the morning... and that was when it started... the most beautiful meteor shower ever....

I dreamt that i returned home sad about not seeing the meteor shower, and there in the house was all my loved ones, my family and friends. They are the real stars in my life. And when i made that realization, suddenly the skies lit up with ten million shooting stars, streaking through the heavens. It was the most beautiful sight ever, like fireworks lighting up the night... Then it even started to snow, coating the forest like iceing on a cake. The view was breath-taking. And with my loved ones there with me, it made is so much more wonderful. Just then my grand mother called me over and gave me a gift and said it was nothing but that was all she had. I was so touched that tears welled up within me. I woke up from the dream and felt that I have seen the best meteor shower anyone can ever see....

Sometimes we just don't realize, that the most wonderful miracle in our lives, are the people around us. Never take others for granted and treasure every moment in life.

Reflections

In the blink of an eye, its been almost 5 months since i started work at the law firm. Last night, we had a pre-farewell party at Hans and later the Screening room with some of the perm staff and interns. A night of gossips, recollections and laughter.

We were granted an off day today, and being so used to the routine, i was suddenly left with an empty day to fill. The day went by slowly. Tried calling friends out, but everyone already had other plans... it is only then that u realize that we are really alone in this world.

Went out myself, bumped into many familiar faces. People grown old, moving on in life. Mere acquaintances i realize... The only thing permanent in life, is impermanence itself. Life... is but a fleeting moment of time. We go out, we laugh, we cry. We go home, we sleep, and the next day, its all over again.

The path i tread on, sometimes its pebbles, sometimes its stone, sometimes its water, sometimes its snow... which will be the road that i finally take?
