random thoughts
Sort of an overdue post :P. These are some of the things I had in mind during the past two weeks.
想要做的事有很多，
但真正能做到的，又有多少？
*****************************
At times, I am glad that I have the ability to sense what people are thinking and their feelings.
But recently, my sixth sense tells me that someone cannot be trusted, and he/she isn’t as innocent as he/she seems. I wonder if my intuitions are right or I am just being paranoid.
I still remembered a friend of mine used to tell me that I am too innocent and afraid I might be taken advantage of. Even if I do not compete with others, that don’t mean that others won’t see me as a competitor……
我愿意做那片衬托红花的绿叶，
如果那朵红花却把我视为与它争艳的另一朵花，
我也没办法......

A fortnight ago, Fannie “complained” that she don’t know what to get for me for my birthday because I am too “self-sufficient”. Knew Fannie for 9 years, and because we are such close friends, we are rather direct with each other. We were crapping abt some theme/ décor ideas and then suddenly she popped this question:
“What u want for yr birthday present huh?”
I pondered. There are quite a few things which I want, but money can’t buy. They are also other things which I want too, but I rather put them under the categories of “My goal”, or “Treats for myself”. So that leaves nothing which I need at the moment.
“ Hmm, Really can’t think of any leh”
“Perfume?”
“ Got quite a few bottles at home”. (yeah, right now I have a bottle of Little Prince perfume which I bought at my previous company’s charity auction, a Gucci perfume given my friends last yr, and another Estee Lauder Pleasures fragrance, and a bottle of Beyond Paradise which I am currently using. And not counting my miniatures collection…..)
“赢了啰！香水友好几瓶。Bag, 你也有了。你很 self-sufficient，真不知道要买什么给你。”
Think she faced with the same problem last year, which is why in the end, she got me something practical --- shopping vouchers. So that I can buy whatever I need when the time come.
“Self-sufficient” doesn’t mean I buy a lot of things which I want. It simply means I had bought what I need most at the moment. I could have asked for another bag for work, but I know that I won’t be using it much as I still prefer to use the bag I have at the moment (Some peculiar habits of mine lah).
Right now, I can only think of items which I wanna get using my own money. There are my “goals” to achieve by Jan next year. (heh heh, meaning these are what I might be spending on using my year end bonus)
1) Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey Eau De Toilette (when the Beyond Paradise runs out)
2) Creative MP3 player
3) Special eyelet punching tools for my craftwork
4) Diamond (small pendant lah!) necklace from SK, cos I’ve gotten one for my sis last year, but never treat myself with one too.
5) Another custom-made dress (I’ll come up with the design)
6) Ticket to Snow. Wolf. Lake musical ( yah, have to get it by Sep)
Hmm, shall see how many goals I am able to achieve when I am reflecting on my year spent in 2005.
