Thursday, June 25, 2009 It was dear Val today who reminded me of a line that I wrote a few posts back. 'I challenge you to see hope. There always is hope.' And we all know that this task is excruciatingly immense for us to do. The negative will always come looming before us, and we just stop short at opening our eyes to other avenues which can provide us with a little reprieve to help us trudge along with the rest of our day or week.
Well, that's what you get for being human.

--Aunt Agony at 2:56 AM Tuesday, May 26, 2009 What are we chasing, but empty things? They gratify us, only, but temporarily. How can our core resound with joy if they fade in a matter of years? The glory of our youth will be long forgotten, as it ticks away between the seconds of time. It is a choice that is so simple to make; just to live out your days to the fullest. Yet we still waste these minutes away on trivial emotions and intangible things. But alas! We shall carry our baggage with us to our graves. For we were too myopic to see the bigger picture in our lives.

--Aunt Agony at 5:52 PM Sunday, April 19, 2009 The sun rises... And it sets. This happens over and over again. How can we make each sunrise and sunset different every single day? By appreciating each and every moment in your day. All your ups and downs. Every single one of them. Embrace them and move on. Quit despairing, people. Life is too short to waste on despair.
I challenge you to see hope. There always is hope.
--Aunt Agony at 7:52 PM Friday, April 10, 2009 Maundy with Joy was awesomeeee! We went for Maundy Thursday service at Christ the King, talked and laughed about Youtube videos on the bus ride to Toa Payoh, had dinner, then went to Coffee Bean where we had nice brownie. And then we went to Risen Christ for adoration. =) I miss hanging out with Joy, I almost forgot how good it was to just hang out with her and crap around with random jokes and anecdotes. =)
After the veneration of the cross today, my heart felt really full and positive. And I'm content. Mighty, mighty content with everything that's part of my life. And also grateful and blessed for everything that I have.
--Aunt Agony at 10:30 PM Saturday, April 04, 2009 The trip to Hong Kong with Bananarella was ah-mazing. Honestly! We ate and shopped and ate and shopped. (Food was our motivation to get to anywhere, teehee) We had egg tarts, banana cake, Wanton Mee, Siew Yok Fan, Beef Brisket noodles, Paos, Dim Sum, Mango Dessert, MILK TEA! The weather was nice, 18 degrees to 22 degrees celsius daily. I loved it. Even managed to meet my parents for me Mamee's birthday dinner! =) Banana was freezing and she called me Wolverina. Didn't your mommy teach you not to call other people names?! HAHAHA. =) We spam-shopped on the last day. It was get it or NOTHING. So we did. With our luggages, hearts and memory cards full of love from Hong Kong and our breastfriendship, we returned home today. Ahhh.. sweltering, humid, disgustingly warm Singapore.
Well, it's still home. (But my heart is still in Hong Kong, HAHAHA.)
--Aunt Agony at 1:41 AM Tuesday, March 24, 2009 Camp went pretty well. I've been busy with Freshmen applicants admin and stuff, and I swear we should make them sign up online. Handwriting can be totally illegible. Is it a 9 or a 4? S or a 5? R or a V? Grrrr, go back to penmanship class youuuuu. But on a brighter note.. I kinda like doing admin. Makes me feel productive! Teehee. =) So no hard feelings there brothers and sisters, just get me my bionic eyes and I'll be ready to roll.
--Aunt Agony at 11:32 PM Monday, March 16, 2009 I spent the whole bloody day being a couch potato. I hate myself for doing it, gosh. I feel so unproductive. But I did bake chocolate cupcakes though. HAHAHA. After watching Discovery: Travel and Living for 6 hours, you've gotta feel inspired to cook or bake somehow. I think I'm going to bake lemon flan tomorrow morning. I'm turning my kitchen into a bakery.
Maybe I should train to be a patissier.
--Aunt Agony at 7:51 PM Friday, March 06, 2009 Jason Mraz is awesome. That's all I've got to say. His antics were really funny and he's a crowd pleaser I tell you! His vocals are really flexible and his falsetto will blow you away. His records don't do his live performances justice, I swear. But they're a fleeting glimpse of the life of Mr. Jason Mraz and his inspiration. So that'll have to do.
If only we weren't so frail. --Aunt Agony at 12:03 AM Monday, March 02, 2009
