Chinatown

Went shopping at chinatown with Tong the other day.... I know.. u must be thinking..:"what? chinatown? whats there to shop?"... but hell, u would be surprised to find some not-bad shops for u to shop there and the prices were ok too.. Chinatown is no longer like a suitable-for-ahpek and ahma- kind of place ok..

went around the streets too and really like the cny ambience there eventhough it was damn crowded.. There are many interesting stalls there, selling different kinda things n food from everywhere.. china, taiwan, thailand bla bla bla. The way the promoters attract the visitors was the part that made me n tong laughed the most. They really came out with all sort of lines, ideas and costumes to get people to come.

so ya.. it was nice to just go n have some fun.... if u dont mind the crowd guess u should go "feel" it too.. haha

and of cos.. not forgetting.... here's some pics...

me n tong with the mickey mouse

yup...so cny is coming and am really feeling it now.. hahaa... but somehow the "mood" is not there although i hav been using cny as an excuse to buy clothes... (u too right???hehe..)

Courage

I thought i could , i thought it's coming... but yet... it seems i still can't still.. i m still afraid.

the fear of fear

Fear is not what I am afraid of.

True, it is a frightful thing to fear;

But the fear of fearing fear is overwhelming

Especially when its form becomes sheer

Fear is like losing a tree of shade on a bristling day

Or losing your breath when you fall below the sea;

I fear this fear of fearing these fears

And it is this fear that is part and parcel of me.

Fear is like loving without being loved back,

Fear is like leaving without being left;

And the fear of loving and leaving and being loved and being left

Is opposed by the fear of not fearing anything

And being an empty vase, noisy and bereft

I fear not death nor do I fear life,

But I fear the fear of both as my peers;

If I could release one fear from my fears

It would be the fear of fearing these fears.

-Samah Khan-

Dorothy Thompson:

The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness.

Dorothy Thompson:

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Eleanor Roosevelt:

You must do the things you think you cannot do.


Dorothy Thompson:

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

Eleanor Roosevelt:

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.


Alan Cohen:

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Thank you...

thought it was jus a normal day..went to the gym, came home n rest, watched some tv bla bla bla... .................but when i was playing vb with my sista suddenly the doorbell rang.. "ting tong"..

Oh gosh it was patrick's sister..

Patrick's sister:" hi chiawen.. hello... special delivery.. from Patrick.."

Me:" Oh god.. thanks.. thanks thanks" (i had no idea how many thanks i said.. n i dont remember saying anything else but that.. lol)

Patrick's sister:" happy birthday.. see ya..."

Me:" Ya.. thanks.. bye thanks.." (ya i know i did it again!!)

The conversation was definitely longer than that.. but i jus couldnt remember what else i said.. cos i was too surprised to see her especially when i was in t-shirt n shorts, sweating like nobody's business.

So ya.. anyways.. the point isnt about his sister.. it is about the early bday present Patrick got me from UK... It 's handbag from Radley and a video he made for me..

Here's some pics...

Saying Thank You "in person"..
