S/He died doing what s/he love...

How many times have you heard the phrase, "at least the person died doing what he love" whenever a tragedy happened? 

I was telling my sister the other day about my thoughts on this matter. I engage in the outdoors and sports because I love it, but never once have I set out to do something thinking it will be my last time doing it. That phrase is more of a consolation to those who are affected by the death of a love one, and I am sure they are aware that these words bring no actual comfort, but in trying times, you will hold on to any comforting idea as a life buoy. 

I can't help but feel very upset whenever I put myself in the shoes of the victims. I can't help but think what actually went through their minds when they see their life flashing past them. I love being in the outdoors, I love dragonboating, but I cannot imagine dying for it. No one wants to I believe, unless you are already extremely old and ready to leave this world. But we all love to live till a ripe old age and reflect back on our lives and share our stories with the next generation. 

All I wish for is that everyone live your life to your fullest, and live till a ripe old age to share your legacy. Peace.

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

reminiscing the past...

This was written more than 5 years ago.... how time flies. If I were a rich girl…. How I wish I’m rich… Not so that I can spend it on living the high life, but more because I am able to help those in need… It has always been my dream to have loads of money, and to buy medical supplies and food for those people living in 3rd world countries. And I always think it’s ironic how one could spend thousands of dollars on bags or clothings and how that amount of money could save thousands of lives instead. It is my goal to earn as much money as I can and retire in Africa helping those in need, be it people or animals. I am leading a comfortable life right now, and for that I am grateful. I am grateful that I need not worry about ongoing war in my background, I am grateful that I need not worry about not having food at all when I am hungry, I am grateful for having a job to help pay my bills, expenses and occassional trips overseas. I want to be in a position to help, and to help tho

Don't follow blindly, create your own!

Let me be honest here. Ever since coming out on my own, I have been struggling with finding a routine that I can adhere to. I am constantly stressing out, thinking I am not doing enough as a wannabe entrepreneur.  I always read articles about top CEOs starting their day early, catching only 4-5 hours of sleep a day, planning their day ahead with a routine and sticking to the routine. They are always on the go, multi-tasking all the time. Over time, I've come to realise, that is not for me. Sticking to a routine made me stressed out over unnecessary things, made me frustrated thinking I am not doing enough.  The truth is, we are all different, and we work different. I like to procrastinate if I am given a long timeline. I like to be in a pressure cooker environment where I am swarmed with deadlines, and that is also when I perform best, with sudden spurts of energy to get things done. But once that energy is released, I need time to space out again. Yes I agree that doe
