"你为何不调过头去
让我自己去面对问题
你尝试着不露痕迹
告诉我爱情的道理
你认为值得努力的
是我俩之间的距离
喔这一季　总算有些值得回忆"

张艾嘉 - 爱情的道理

80s song, yet still so relevant to today's context.

Been nearly 3/4 of a year since I last blogged, and currently taking some free time I have in the office (with this lil emotional stir; prolly period approaching).

Update about myself:

1. Jasper and I are over. He made me feel everything at once, but here's the flow of events.

He stopped trying,
I was in denial.
I tried to salvage the broken pieces.
He tried with minimal efforts.
I gave it all,
Until I gave up.
And on that fateful night,
I knew that things weren't gonna go right.
I was right.
He left.
I broke.
I got back up.
I am not entirely over,
But eventually I will be.
I don't hate him,
But I'll never forget whatever we had,
And whatever we could have had.
It's a pity, we could have lasted.
But what a relief, we didn't.

2. I am interning in Frost and Sullivan in the Biz and Finance department! So far so good I guess- but this really reminded me of how far I've come from the very first day I entered uni.

3. I made new friends and restored old friendships! Throughout this not so smooth-sailing transition period, I made many new and trustable friends along the way, as well as focused alot on rebuilding old friendships- ones that I had neglected, ones that I almost lost.... and also re-evaluating my once aggressive ways to resolve friendship related problems.

4. Family ties are still as strong as ever. Bro recently got a girlfriend; albeit not being as receptive as I thought I should be, but I know I have to keep trying as I really want my brother to be happy. If hes happy, I will be too.

5. Grandma passed on this Feb. Still missing her as much, but I know people that you love lives on in your heart, even when they are no longer around.

All I know is, I am still strong and happy, and will try my very best to remain this way, because I am worth it.

既使孤单会使我伤怀
也会试着让自己想的开
