Dreams and Hopes 梦想与希望

 

May your dreams defy the laws of gravity ~ H. Jackson Brown

I love balloons, in all colours, in all shapes. I make a wish, I say a prayer, I let go of my balloons, and watch them rise gently into the sky.心希望，梦翱翔。

Farewell Nokia 1110

{ Then You Rang,  Now You Don't }

Nokia 1110, my faithful cell phone. In a time when everyone is holding an iphone, or an Android, or at least a colour screen cell phone, I felt completely content using this antique treasure. Why? It was able to make calls, send messages, wake me up in the morning for work ... and that, was good enough for me.

Actually, 1110 does not belong to me initially. Four or five years ago, me and my sister decided to buy our dad his first ever mobile phone. He really needed one to make some calls home as he was working out station at that time. A year or two later, he decided to quit working and stay at home due to illness. When I say stay at home, he practically just stays . at . home. You hardly see him leaving the house. So naturally, 1110's new job was to sit in a corner and collect dust. When my Samsung flip cell phone was not working anymore, and 1110 was like an abandoned child crying for a mama, I took it ... and the rest was history.

Well, careful as I was, I did a thing that almost all cell phone owners had, or will experience. This morning, I accidentally dropped this poor little fella into a public toilet bowl, eeewwwwww~ The good thing is, it fell before I ... ahem. The bad thing is, it was the end of 1110. When I took it out of the toilet bowl, I felt that I really needed to clean it (by the way, I am very particular about cleanliness @@). I mean, it was already soaked wet, so adding some clean water (with some Dettol) wouldn't do too much harm right? I just want to make sure it is in clean condition before I try to fix it.

Sadly, 1110 did not survive =( ... And excitedly, new phone it is =) ...

and I give thanks with a grateful heart, for my life is a bed of roses, that comes with thorns ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪♫•*

Tangled Thoughts

I created this blog on November 2010, with an ambitious dream of being a consistent blogger. I ended up not posting anything up till now, that is, 5 months later. I realised though, that blogging requires discipline, which sadly, I seriously lack. And besides, I am not too sure what I wanted to blog about. Maybe nothing specific, just little pieces of everything. However, on the other hand, I am very clear why I started my own blog in the first place ...

"I am very passionate about writing, and I believe I have good command in English." Or so I thought, and the way I described myself in all my application letters whenever I applied for a [writer/news editor/copy writer/anything related to writing] job. But honestly, do I really LOVE writing? Is my English good enough to be a writer? So what better platform to put myself to test than a blog?

Practice makes perfect, years from now, when I reread this post, I might feel like spanking myself for the writing errors I'm making at this moment ... but if I never even get started, I would never ever realise that I have made mistakes. So dear all kind readers, I would not be offended at all if you point out any of my writing mistakes. My hope is that as time goes by, I'll be able to sharpen my writing skills, and that my readers will enjoy and feel comfortable reading my work.

And so, welcome everyone, to my humble blog, {Bread Crumbs, Golden Dust}.
