One fateful night, Family HTHT

Yay. I said it. I finally said it. Three minutes ago, I pitched my life deal. And I nailed it :)
okay, overwhelming emotions, I might cry in a couple of minutes' time.
But I need to finish this blog post.

Good job, Qiao! We are now one step closer to our goal! :D
Way to gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I have decided to push my boundaries

I OFFICIALLY DECLARE (FOR THE SAKE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, AND LETTING EGO PUSH ME FURTHER) THAT I AM SAVING UP MONEY FOR MY PLANS :)

NOPE, NO MORE MOVIES.
NOPE, NO MORE FOOD ABOVE 6 BUCKS.
NOPE, NO MORE SNACKING (UH....)
NOPE, NO MORE OVERSEAS TRIP.
NOPE, NO MORE RUBBISH, NONSENSE, AND LAME ITEMS.

SO EXACTLY HOW MUCH AM I PLANNING SAVING UP? ___________________ THIS MUCH! (HANDS DRAWING A CIRCLE LARGER THAN HALF OF MY BODY)

WHY AM I TYPING IN CAPS?
BECAUSE I AM MOTIVATED, AND I CAN'T LET MY MOTIVATION GOES DOWN,down,d...o...w...n............

Wanderer with only home in his heart

"It takes effort to ask whether our lives are in alignment with our prayers and the deeper purposes of our hearts."
- John Robbins

Yes yes yes yes, I agree. (but that doesn't mean my life is aligned with my prayers and purpose, hehe)

My belly has a small fire now, 0.1% of my cells are vibrating with utmost energy now, and I'm drowning myself in RTW thoughts. Happily drowning, but I can't stay in the waters for too long.
Action plan is need, and then action is needed.

I do believe in self-fulfilling prophecy.
So shoo, negative thoughts! I can only accept success! :D

Uh ho....

I'm resisting the urge to hurt others (not physically) in defense of my ego,
But if you're placed in a situation full of people who are unconsciously (or consciously) hurting others, ego tends to have the better of you, inspite of all the self-talk about 'don't hurt others, hurting others = hurting yourself'.

One big sigh, but also a pat on my own back, for at least, I am aware and am making the effort.

My letter to Mr Grim Reaper

Dear Mr Grim Reaper,

I don't really like you, nor do I fancy the your occupation, but today, I've decided to dedicate this post to you.
Thank you for being awesome!
Thank you for teaching us beings to treasure life, and our loved ones.
Thank you for showing how vulnerable and fragile humans are.
Thank you for pointing out the 'big stones' in our lives.
Thank you for pushing people to pursue their dreams.
Thank you for driving people's personal growth.
Thank you for bringing perspectives into our lives.

Artists tend to paint you as a creepy skeleton with a cloak, maybe you've caused too much tears and sadness and bleakness, but I believe you teach us so much we fail to credit you for.

If you're a human being, I would prefer you to wear purple or green or red cloaks.

Goodnight guys!
