Major Upsets and Life Lessons...
I've had some major ups and downs today.
I think I realised a lot of things in my life that I was missing.
And what I should be doing.
At the same time, I think I lost some of myself too.
I watched Alice in Wonderland today. Alone.
But that's how I meant it.
Luckily I didn't watch it in 3D.
It's not the stuff of sweet dreams and romance.
Rather a dark and fascinatingly morbid interpretation of Alice.
While watching it, I felt like I was watching a nightmare and a dream at the same time.
But...
I realised that you should strive to be yourself.
Even if you are afraid to be yourself sometimes.
And that if you take a leap into the unknown,
have courage.

I also visited my aunts today.
To drop by and give a surprise present.
Followed one of my aunts to Giant on my way home.
Where I think I lost the money she gave me.
She gave me (no, entrusted) me with $50 to top up my EZ-link.
Since I wasn't working yet.
I slipped the folded note into my back pocket in a hurry.
But later I forgot about it and only remembered when I pulled out my wallet at home.
By the time it was gone.
GONE.
omfg.
I ran back from my house to Giant, where I thought I dropped it.
Not there.
Outside the bubble tea shop.
Not there.
Hell, I'm not even sure where and when I lost it.
I was ready to burst into tears.
It's not some money I earned by myself, which I would have been sad.
But not as sad as money that someone gave me
and entrusted me to carry out a purpose.
I can't replace that.
Even if I replace the money with my own,
it won't feel the same.
After that, feeling dejected, I did the thing which I wanted to do since yesterday.
I cut my hair.
My so-called precious hair.
I wanted a change.
no.
I NEEDED to change.
But I felt better afterwards.
I know my reason for losing the money now.
God has made me realise,
has given a sign that
I need to change.
I need to start living my life.
This loss is to remind me that I need to change.
Get my life back.
The money was not meant to stay with me,
but give me a reminder...
a lesson.
You can't take life for granted and blindly accept what you have.
Sometimes you lose.
But you gotta make the best out of it.
God, I hope I'll be on my way.
To a better path.
