Pieces of me.

~Almost1216


Went Clarke Quay with my family today.
Purpose: Singapore food festival aka Peranakan cuisine.
:)



I was a bit disappointed when i saw them using machine manufactured spices.
And here i thought, they'll be showing traditional methods of cooking.
Sigh.
But, the outing was fun overall.
Though we didn't do anything much, as a family together, that's more than enough.
^^

Oh ya, today's the 1st time i've ever went to clarke quay!
Unbelievable but true.
haha!
And the place is super ex.
I dunno if its my bad memory or what, but i don't rmb the roadside ice-cream as $1.50.
:/

The night view is super nice!
We sat beside the river and watched the bungee jump for awhile.
LOL!

After dinner and on the way home in the taxi,
I was lost in thoughts, as usual.
As we grow up, we tend to lose pieces of ourselves.
We change, normally oblivious to ourselves.
Are the changes good or bad?
No one knows, but one thing i'm sure of, they are parts and parcels of growing up.

You realise the fragility of humans, the cruelty of reality and harshness of words.
You lose your naviety, hopes and believes you had as a child.
You easily grow tired and sick of life at times.
Your wants and desires increases but happiness decreases.
Sometimes, you even tend to hate yourself.

I think i had never been more at peace with myself than when i was in the taxi.
I smiled unknowingly, as if i had let go of another part of me.
Suddenly, i was full of hope and anticipation for another day,
even though tmr is another hectic and tiring day.
You may lose pieces of yourself, but in the process, you gain new parts of yourself as well.
Parts of the future you, good or bad, you may never know.

But at the end, it's still you.
At peace with oneself, accept what you can and let go of what you can't change.
That's when, happiness comes knocking.
