<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>29th November 2014</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It all started when I stumbled upon a piece of writing in Tumblr. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So many pieces of her writings spoke to me beyond the surface of words and dug out all the emotions I felt within. I'd never imagined I would have a chance to meet her face-to-face!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A few weeks ago, Megan joined a contest organised by Cleo for a chance to have brunch w Lang, and winners get to bring a friend along. Could you picture how ecstatic I was when she told me we won! My goodness I felt so faint!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">THANK YOU Megs, for choosing to bring me! This means the world to me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Penguin Books Singapore (PBS) and Cleo decided to have the brunch at Antoinette @ Penhas, a classy yet cosy setting. Perfect!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These beautiful menu were designed by PBS! The dishes were handpicked as well! Felt really special. Yes, we get to keep them (:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The ladies and our food. Turned out to be quite a girly affair, talking about love, life and what-not. Definitely a great sharing session!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Check out our fabulous looking cakes! Don't they look royal??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfortunately we were too full to finish them but they were amazing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I popped the question:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Can we take a selfie?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hahahaha Lang looks so pretty here! She really should smile more, don't you agree!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My favourite picture of the day, holding on to my signed copies of her book, heart thumping like crazy. Trying my best to hide the exhilaration from bursting out of my face. </span></div>

It was nothing short of magical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lang talked about how it all started, some of her other interests, a tiny bit about her upcoming plans, shared some precious photos of her loved ones, and even read her favourite piece to us.</div>

A good book never lets you put it down;</center>
<center>
it demands attention like a new born child.</center>
<center>
Slowly but surely, hours pass.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
It takes you on journeys,</center>
<center>
through different identities</center>
<center>
doing things you never thought you would.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Between the letters and spaces</center>
<center>
you begin to fall</center>
<center>
in love with the characters.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
As you flip to the last page</center>
<center>
you feel torn;</center>
<center>
a part of you is gone.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
A really good book -</center>
<center>
<center>
it lingers;</center>
<center>
it keeps you wondering..</center>

Is that supposed to be sad?<br />
Looking at how almost everyone is able to have it, even taking it for granted, but I will never obtain it.<br />
<br />
I used to have it. Used to. I guess I took it for granted as well.<br />
In a split second I lost it. It slipped right out of my fingers.<br />
<br />
I didn't understand what it meant though, the moment that I lost it.<br />
Then all at once, everything hit me.<br />
It's never coming back, never again shall I experience it.<br />
<br />
Do I envy others?<br />
As much as I deny, there's no way to hide.<br />
But one must face reality.<br />
The saddest part is that, only a rare few will understand;<br />
& I can only feel this sadness alone.<br />
<br />

I think of you at ten; the first time I saw you. Your smile at nine and how it lit up something inside me I had thought long dead. Your lips at eight pressed against mine and at seven, your warm breath in my ear and your hands everywhere. You tell me you love me at six and at five we have our first real fight. At four we have our second and at three, our third. At two you tell me you can't go on any longer and then at one, you ask me to stay.</div>

There is a certain stillness, when even the gentle flutter of a<br />butterfly's wing feels like a hurricane.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /> The moment when crashing waves fall asleep, peaceful, lost<br />to the serenity of salty dreams.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /> When tall tress stand to attention and every leaf pauses,<br />takes a deep breath and holds it.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /> It is here, beneath the maddening silence I hear your name.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /> An echo of you.</center>

Just want to take a step back and enjoy whatever is happening in my life now.</div>

I'm going through (kinda) a transition period; as hard as it sounds, I actually like it.</div>

The element of uncertainty, no idea where life is bringing you next, no idea where you're going to land yourself into. It's actually pretty intriguing.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having such an amazing time at this amazing city.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love how polite, courteous & helpful the people are (well, most of them), I love how most places are clean, I love the accessible train stations even though it's a little overwhelming, I love the food (I just love food), & I absolutely LOVE the warm toilet seats!!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some of the fond moments I've encountered:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">People are always so patient and kind to help us with directions. Even when they can't guide you, they'll apologize.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Service is always so good & sincere.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Feeling serene and at peace at Meiji Shrine. It's like my life is perfect & I had no worries in the world. It's such an incredible feeling.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A couple helped us translate an all-Japanese menu & then bought us a 3000yen sushi platter as a gift!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The chef kept apologizing because he couldn't understand us, and even turned to google translate, hahah.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had to ask the locals the proper way of eating a certain meal & they didn't mock/laugh at me. They just taught me patiently despite not being able to converse w me.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We didn't book any reservations for owl cafe & there was a sign saying they were fully booked. We were a lil disappointed & was about to leave but they stopped us, & said they are able to squeeze in 2 more pax.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<b><i>Inevitable Change.</i></b></center>

<center>
<i>It's amazing how much has evolved, almost a little scary to see.</i></center>
<center>
<i><br /></i></center>
<center>
<i>The people whom you knew, are no longer who they are.</i></center>
<center>
<i>The things you once loved, now a little too far.</i></center>
<center>
<i><br /></i></center>

<i>At times I wonder, what exactly happened?</i></center>

<center>
In life you're faced with thousands of decisions, some more crucial than others. It may range from choosing your meals to entering a marriage. Each choice comes with consequences.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Only You get to choose what stays in your life and what goes. After all, we just want to be better versions of ourselves.</center>

I'm sure many of you have heard of Daniel Wellington watches.</center>
<center>
<center>
The unique feature about DW is that the straps are interchangeable!</center>
<center>
So you can get 1 watch, and many straps to suit different occasions!</center>

<center>
K & Yx started their online store around Dec 2013.</center>
<center>
It's a clean and sleek concept featuring DW watches and looking to expand their to other European brands.</center>

<center>
I loved the DW Classy St Andrews!</center>
<center>
<i>Ok cus my hand's super tiny so the Classic's too big for me.</i></center>
<center>
But I love the crystals that make it look so sophisticated!</center>

God knows what will happen to me in Uni if I hadn't met them.</center>
<center>
I'd probably be so lonely, and sane. Hahahha.</center>

<center>
Even though we may not be as close as before, we may have our arguments, it's proven that I can't get you out of my life. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad lol.</center>
<center>
I hope that one day, we'll look back and see how much we've grown, individually and as one.</center>

My most recent love of my life, Clare.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1/1898178_10152247386399189_749642482_n.jpg" width="500" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1779678_10152262752479189_1268874271_n.jpg" width="500" /></center>
<center>
Can't express how thankful I am to have met you.</center>
<center>
So glad that we transformed from strangers to classmates to colleagues to a bond as strong as sisters.</center>
<center>
Hope that we'll continue to know each other better & that our friendship will strengthen with time.</center>

<center>
It's not easy to have a daughter like me. But hey it's half of your genes (the stubborn half).</center>
<center>
I'm so glad to have a father who is ever so supportive in whatever decisions I make, even the really bad ones.</center>
<center>
You've never doubted me, never judged me, and always encourage me to decide on my own.</center>
<center>
Bcus of you I've grown to be who I am.</center>

Wouldn't YOU pamper a sweetie like her? Hahaha<br />(This is kinda my fav photo of her, it's such a rare demure moment LOL) <br /><br /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/v/912846_10151585706654189_722862136_n.jpg?oh=334f02228f686bae741a4661d8c78754&oe=51E692FF&__gda__=1374134303_32d8ad36bba5ea1302b5a822a30aefc3" width="400" /><br />I love how she still showers me with love despite me bullying her. <br /><br /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/734428_10151516411624189_624912587_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />Love this photo of us (:<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Celebration: 13July2013</b></span><br /><br /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1069327_10151742341724189_165179335_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />Brought her to K9 Kafe and a bath after that. <br /><br /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/992777_10151742342344189_402145182_n.jpg" width="500" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382566_10151742342429189_1601573200_n.jpg" width="500" /><br />She's super well-behaved in car rides, she mainly just sleeps.<br /> </center>

There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Alarms are going off; danger signs, warnings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's not all unfamiliar though.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
At different stages of your life, you'll reach a cross-road.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You then have to make a choice, and that decision is solely yours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of Secondary 2, I had to choose the subjects I wanted to take for the next 2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course I didn't know what I wanted. BUT! I knew what I didn't enjoy. I didn't like D&T (Design and Technology), Home Economics, Arts (History Literature etc). I ended up with science and humanities.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After 'O' levels came another headache: What courses to take in Poly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had absolutely no interest in ANY courses across all polytechnics! I was so annoyed that I told my dad I wanted to just go take up manicure or beautician course in ITE. Of course I didn't. So, I chose by elimination again. No to IT. No to banking. No to a lot of stuff. I went into Ngee Ann taking Diploma in Product Design & Innovation, because I thought it'd be more of a design course. It was the worst decision of my life. It was the top of my no-no list in Secondary School - D&T.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was 3 years of hell for me cus I liked it none. I stayed on for that piece of paper. At the end of the course, I still didn't know what I want in life. Questions started pouring in: "Are you going to continue studies in this area?" "What are you going to work as" "Where will you go after graduation"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That had placed a tremendous amount of pressure on me. I decided to put studies on hold while I think it though; didn't want to make another grave mistake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I stepped out of my comfort zone and applied for a sales job. I didn't expect myself to get the job since I had no prior experience but I was overjoyed that I got it! It definitely improved my interaction and communication (not that I'm very very good at it yet), and allowed me to be more organised and focused.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A year later I decided it was time to further my studies. Choices and decisions again. Thankfully, there wasn't as huge a variety of programmes in Degree as in Diploma. I chose Business(Marketing).</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So now, it's close to graduation for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Questions regarding the future starts popping up, again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"What's your next step?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"What are you going to do after you graduate?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"What jobs you want?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Have you already applied for jobs? You should start.."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this moment, I'm placed at the same cross-road. But it's different now. I can't escape to education anymore (I don't intend to further my studies! Enough!! Haha). Time to step out into the scary man-eating society.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not confident at all, but I think I know what I want.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally. After all these years.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Time to step out of my comfort zone once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hopefully, I will achieve it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
