Home Hunting

Buying property for the very first time in Malaysia. It was harder than I thought.
It is a different game altogether.
Because we are buying a 'home' and not just a 'house'.

To buy a property, you look at the figure and the balance sheet, and make a investment decision.
We have done this in the past, but this time is slightly different.
We have pour emotions into this home-buying process, And emotions complicates things..:)

A home is a place where you find comfort, find safety. Is a very personal space.
It is a base for a family, for growth and warmth, a place you find support and love.
We are getting closer to our home-sweet-home. :)

To embrace life

About embracing life...

Life has all odds. Death didnt always come on schedule, or as planned. It never did. All of life's strange twists and turns never led to where you expected them to be. It is impossible to even guess at one's destiny.

I was touched the love of 2 persons, fighting the odds of becoming together.
They have taken wisdom and courage to put thier lives back together, to reach out and to hold on tight.
Sometimes is so much easier to never try, to never touch at all, to run away and hide.
But they had dared, they danced, they had trudged on through the dark and the cold, defied the demons, faced the terrors and refused to run away.
It was more than just the act of love, it was an act of courage, and of faith, and hope and belief.
They have not give in to death, but to embrace life.
They have carefully woven the fabric of life, with much grace.

If you have found what you want, fight for it, until you reach the destination safely. To be there despite all the storms. It is a choice not easily made, and it takes a delicate balance to reach safety. Embrace life, and you will find your safe harbour.

Things to do before I turn 30

Here are the things I want to do before i turn 30.

1. Get married, have a baby and a lovely family.
2. Go to Europe - ski at the Swiss Alps, drink champagne in a Paris bar, and ride the Gondola in Venice.
3. Drive a NICE car.
4. Be a multimillionaire.
5. Take risks with my job, start my own business.
6. Go on a hot air balloon.
7. Start my own foundation to help others.
8. Sleep under the stars.
9. Live in a foreign country.
10. Build my dream house.

I have learnt to think wild and dream BIG, and most importantly have FUN and live no regrets.

Are you a train?

Have you seen one of those model trains in the toy shops?
Going round and round on the same track, always stopping in the same station.
There is no destination, no end.
Is a cycle, repeating itself.

Is your life like a train? Monday till Sunday, morning to night. 365 days, goes on and on. Maybe is time to ask yourself, am I a train? Am I going in circle?

Some people do this because of fear, fear of insecurity and fear of failure. They resist change.
Some people do this because they have no destination, they follow the track without knowing there is no end. They go no where.
Some people do this because they are so used to it. They forget time does not wait.

Dont complaint if you are going in circle.
Stop at a different station, take a deep breathe and tell yourself, maybe is time to drive a car, go on a highway, enjoy the different scenery and go to a place where you have always been dreaming of.

Good luck to your new adventure. :)
