Present, Past & Future

How do i begin?

Let's start with the happy news. Joanne struck "lottery"! I shall "invest" on those 4 numbers over the next 6 months. Honestly, i never thot we wld get in. We were so serious abt it last yr but none of us got a place. Heheh..this yr? We just let things take its own course and voila! Sometimes u just gotta leave it to destiny :)

Now for the not-so-good news. Actually none of my concern. It's just that i've been hearing such news of late that i thot i blog abt it. A friend's friend's marriage is on the rocks. Just listening to her struggles tire me...what i meant was if i were in her shoes, i wld be so emotionally exhausted. To add on to her agony, they have got a 6 y/o son. Children are always the innocent victims of bad/failed marriages...this, i can totally relate to it.

We reli have to take care of what we say and act, especially to our dear ones. Hurtful words and actions cannot be retracted. Time cannot be rewound. Even if we later realise how much wrong we have done in the past, no amount of regret can reverse the grave error.

I am fond of reminiscing hence flashbacks are oh-so common. At times, i have to remind myself not to live in the past too much. The more practical (and happier) approach is to cherish the present since it will become the past. I want to fill up my life with more happy memories than regretful ones! Hahaha...but erm well, the frank, impulsive & wilful Ivy is still learning.

Whatever bad turn we have made, we must find a way out...and most of the time, the exit is in front (figuratively).
