Happy new year everyone! Loves

Christmas Remembrance

Such a joyful 2011 Christmas week it was. Although it was tiring and mentally challenging to see the same faces for so many times in a week,  i'm sure we all managed to get a hell lot of fun out of it. I'm very thankful for having something memorable to carve to this holiday of mine before it ends.

The much anticipated Camping/BBQ event with the Dragon Babies was a success! Even though the build-up was met with some last minute scares and hiccups, everything went according to plan on the actual day. Even the weather, which was terribly uninviting throughout the whole month stood in our favor. The amount of food we ordered was just nice to fill 6 of us up. The Angel and Mortal part was so sweet and hilarious. It's really nice to see everyone giving out of joy and sincerity. Such a blessing. Let me reiterate - I love my gift!

What a way to end the year with a "sleepover/heart-to-heart talk" outing with this affectionate clique. Can't love you guys enough!

yes!

You know how you keep telling others about this, about that, about yourself with that confident and matter-of-factly tone

It's a lie. At least half of it is. The confidence you stole and that layer of unwavering look you drew haven't really give itself away yet

You'll learn to speak from your heart, not your throat. Won't u?

One of the amazing scenes in Mi4!

New Toy

Bought a Xmas present for myself!

                                         

                                         "Ready to live with my family,

                                         Ready to die in obscurity"

Yes, i'm back with another picture of the movie "restless". Caught this film on the big screen today. Awesome. I don't know how to describe it. It's definitely not an easy favorite. I don't really dare to recommend this movie to others because it's nice in an unusual way if you get what i mean!

Today was also supposed to be a Xmas shopping day. Sadly, it wasn't fruitful at all. Need to get it done soon!

Take care everyone

Friends for keeps

"While twentysomethings can sometimes spend a little too much energy on dating and marriage, they probably spend too little energy on friendships and family. That girl you just met and now text 76 times a day probably won’t be a part of your life in 10 years, but the guys you lived with in college, if you keep investing in them, will be friends for a lifetime. Lots of people move around in their 20s, but even across the distance, make an effort to invest in the friendships that are important to you. Loyalty is no small thing, especially in a season during which so many other things are shifting."

Chorus

Wasting your time at the crossroads honey
Waiting for a reason to move
What is it we want for our own good baby
To do the things that we love or grow to love the things that we should


Wheezing the air of borrowed time
Subsisting on the remedies i can find
Shall we all just sing along
Losing the colors of a new song

These 2 movies are gonna be screened soon. Watched 50/50 on monday and i love it. Some parts are very very sad. Coincidentally, both films revolve around the somber topic of "cancer". Life is too short for everyone and as cliche as this may sound, it's true. So i shall try to wake up early everyday and not sleep until it's almost time for dinner.

Might catch them again... in the cinemas this time round. 

Take care everyone!

    Brunch @ Bar Bar Black Sheep with the usuals to celebrate Cong's birthday. Food was at most average only but the company was great. Definitely feels rewarding albeit tired to wake up early in the morning and kick start the day. Come to think of it, it's the first time we actually met for brunch. Gotta do it more often!

Had a simple and relaxing dinner with Kaye and Jiayi just now. Felt like a typical TGIF hangout. Sadly, it's only Monday. Hang in there everyone! Look forward to Friday!

Maybe in time, you will realize that death is not the hardest

Love is

So real

Love it!

The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

Such a Beautiful movie. You can't help but feel lucky that we are actually living in a really decent country with an above-average kind of lifestyle. You'll understand what i mean when u watch that film. It gave me a different perspective of life. People in other parts of the world are so easily pleased. Little things or actions are enough to make them wear a smile yet we are always full of complains, always so difficult to be satisfied. Maybe we just need to love life a day at a time and stop looking at the grass over at the other side.

Here's the trailer:

All of a sudden, i feel really proud of myself for the most trivial reason.

i manage to keep this blog going for 7 years. edmundandfriends.blogspot.com is 7 years old!

Can't believe it. Almost a decade already.

And to commemorate this achievement, let's take a look back at the very FIRST entry that brought this diary to life

testing

hi juz wanna see whether this works

Who would expect such a casual sentence to be the start of a very very invaluable recollection. The sad thing is, i didn't pen down some of the more eventful and memorable happenings over the years. Instead, all of my earlier entries were made up of big chunk of text, about me rambling and trying to be as detailed as possible about that day's work. I think that's how most of us fill up our diary during our adolescent years right?

I'm surprise that i was able to continue with that way of writing for a good portion of my secondary and poly school days. When you look back at it, you can tell how desperate i was in trying to remember every single piece of information and it has to begin with something like

"woke up in the morning......",

transiting to

" .......after lunch, took a bus back home at 3pm with........"

and finally, with a huge sigh of relief

".......that's how my day went".

yes, sigh of relief because blogging was quite a painstaking thing for me last time. I felt that there was a need to remember the sequence of events for that day so i can record it down in chronological order.

Difficult and mentally challenging! I got too tied down by what was supposed to be a HOBBY. Not a chore. Thankfully, it didn't make me want to shut down this space!

I like what I'm doing now, typing new entries which often contain meaningless sentences once in a while. Not for the sake of sustaining this blog but because i needed too.

So,

Let's not live with this kind of straitjacket feeling

Let's be loosey-goosey!
