Expectation
You know how people always say the higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment? I felt like that. I had no expectations in the 1st place. It was only coz everyone started giving me the hope, making me think too highly of myself - only to let myself down in the end. Lasik will not be done. I don't think I wanna state the reason here anymore. Tears welled up in my eyes when I heard that. The alternative that the doctor gave me is beyond my limit at the moment.
I swear, I will try again next year so as to not disappoint myself. I'm not going to give up hope so easily. 1st resolution for the year has failed. Should I go for my 2nd resolution of the year? Thought that after fulfilling 1st resolution would make 2nd resolution a bit easier to be settled. Guess I'll have to depend more on my own skills now.
Too many things happened over the last 2 weeks - can't really remember much now other than the late nite baking sessions that I've had. Haha. And not feeling well on Tuesday, haven't felt that bad in a long time. Working tomorrow despite public holiday - as usual. Better sleep early. :)

Falling in Love... With Cooking!
What can I say other than the fact that I think I've fallen in love with cooking?!!! Can't wait to renovate the house, get a proper stove and oven and change everything including cutlery etc. Posted the food pics on FB so don't think I wanna repost here. :) I'm just happy that it was all done pretty well for my 1st try in cooking those dishes. Hehehe.
A busy and hectic day at work from start to end. I had a smile on my face today. :D Yes, I'm happy for several reasons but not going to write it here. I'm just in a good mood.
Lasik consultation coming up real soon. I'm nervous, worried and excited all at the same time. Wonder if my cornea's thick enough, if my degree will all be gone etc etc. Yet I'm anxiously waiting for the day to come so that I'll know coz I really can't wait to get up and be able to see the world clearly. But even if my eyes are not suitable for lasik, I know of another alternative - ICL (Implantable Contact Lens). That will be having permanent contact lens in the eyes but without the hassle of removing to wash or afraid of dryness or irritation. :p
How can I not be happy? Hehehe.

April Fool's - 1st day of Spectacles Week
My 1st day wearing specs to work in this office ever! Pleasantly surprised by the comments and feedback from my colleagues from all departments. Overall comment is that I look ok in specs, look more wise and intelligent. Hahaha. Kinda funny when I heard that - My 1st reaction was "you mean I normally look quite dumb?" :p
Felt different and a little self conscious when I 1st reached office but I soon got used to it. Of coz, the wonderful feedback made everything else so much better. Thanks to everyone who complimented me in some way or other! Came home in a light and happy mood.
And that is til I turned on the TV and watched the fundraising show for Japan's earthquake on 11 March 2011. Cried when watching the footage of the aftermath of the whole event, the sadness of the people who have lost their family and friends. It's been almost a month since it happened. I know there are people who think that this is karma for Japan coz of the World War. But that was years ago. Many generations have passed and should we really be bearing such grudges?
To each his own. I choose to not think that way but to empathize them. Their strength and courage in such an ordeal is what we should learn. There has been no reports of theft, fights or violence in any way since the earthquake happened. Shows how much love and respect they have for one another, for their country. :) Wonder if we can ever be so united as a country.
The other event that made me sad today is that today marks the 8th year of death of Leslie Cheung. An artiste who makes me melt when he sings. 1 of the 1st Asian singers who dared to openly declare he is gay. He passed away the same way my mummy did.. When I 1st heard the news, I thought it was an April Fool's joke.. But it wasn't. He suffered from depression for over a year and couldn't take it anymore. I hope he's happier wherever he is now.
Cherish and treasure everything and everyone my dear friends.. Life is short..
