Life has been good to me so far. Well, there are certainly ups and downs, but that only makes life more interesting, isn’t it? Without the failures, how would I find success so much sweeter?

(Note: in NLP, we always say “There are no failures, only learning experiences”. So, those periods of downs are just lessons for me in preparation for the big things to come)

Looking back, I realised that life seems to be very smooth and problem-free for me since young till secondary school. Was it because nothing seems worrying enough for me to be worried? Or was it because I have been sheltered from all these troubles by my sister and mother, who took up most of the responsibilities in the family? I believe it is a combination of both, though the latter may be slightly more dominant reason.

Today, I am going through several tests that life has posed for me. They don’t come in one, they come in more than pairs. Some concurrently, some consecutively. I shall not mention what they are, but I guess one of the things that can keep my sanity is, to what I’ve realised, blogging. So, every now and then when I have that window of opportunity time presents, I will write down my thoughts, hoping in some way I may have touched some people’s lives. At the very least, it helps me to blank out for that moment while I construct sentences after sentences on my online journal.

If you have been following through my entries, you would have known by now I like to use daily events as metaphors. Because when these events happen, there will be something in them that I can ponder over, and find relation to issues in life that matter to us. 

Therefore I blog.
