Change

"You ready to change?" I said to myself in front of my bathroom mirror

I don't mind if people can see a “few lines on my face,” or the slow decline of his early '90s heydays. I went to my bedroom and slipped into my comfy pants and a grunge, worn D2 t-shirt I owned since high school. It was remarkable now that I thought about it. Considering how crazy it was when I was younger. It seems like just yesterday I started college and got to know new people. And now I'm 28, facing the cold, hard truth. Thinking back, I supposed I could have done more.

Memories trailed behind me, the good ones and the bad ones too. I should have done better in life, if only to be sure. Besides, I had no idea how to go on with my life. Loads of decision making. I wish there was an answer for the fatigue , which reminded me again that I was falling behind in my own resolution to lead a healthier life. Eating better, exercising, sleep regularly, stretching: I'd planned to start as soon as I get over the heart break. A new 'Timmy' resolution of sorts, but it hadn't really taken hold.

Tomorrow, I'll hit the gym, then have a Subway for lunch and another one for dinner. And since I was ready to get on with some serious life changes, 'A Half-Assed Attempt', I really hope God will help me to wrap up my new year's resolution.

My room temperature was still warm, but the light breeze had picked up. The stars spread across he sky in random, intricate patterns. It's time to sleep. I closed my eyes, imagining the scene, and sleep straighter. Tomorrow, I'll start my resolution to become a new person. A better person.

Back From Blogging Hiatus

Yes! I was about to add a new blog entry and realised it's been years since I blogged last. Just two days ago, I dropped the 'blogspot' word from my domain name. Yay! I'm back and I'm trying to revive my blog after years of hiatus.  I've been feeling guilty about it almost every day (it's a lie) and I needed some sort of inspiration to start blogging again. So I decided to switched my blog's URL (domain name) from www.timmy-lai.blogspot.com to www.timmylai.com.  I hope this move will give me some sort of motivation to start  blogging again... *Excuses Excuses Excuses The truth is I don't want to buy a domain name and continue sitting around procastinating. Here you go. :)

Mental Photograph ( Part Two )

So far, there's never been a puff, bang, boom for me. Nothing even close, for that matter. Sure. there was my ex. Some people at church seemed to think we were perfect for each other and every now and then I'd run into her at church. We chatted once at church bookshop for a minute or so about nothing important and then amicably go our separate ways. There's had been a few before my ex, of course. I wasn't entirely clueless when it came to women, after all. I found them attractive and interesting, but more than that, I was genuinely fond of them. I was proud of the fact that I'd never shed a tear from the recent break-up despite remotely be considered a painful one. Not all breakups are mutual. Thankfully most of it petering out like a soggy fuse on a fire cracker as opposed to the big kaboom of fireworks overhead. I considered myself still friends with all my exes - R* ( lives in Indonesia now ) included - and figured they'd say the same thing abo...

Blessed One Year To My Amazing Wife.

I still can’t believe this is true, but today is my beautiful wife and my first anniversary! We have married one year ago today on November 22nd, 2014 at Tanarimba, Bukit Tinggi. It was a magical setting and fit both of our personalities perfectly. We wed in front of rustic, chilly weather with the view of a beautiful pond just beyond the arch. Tania and I a lovers of all things vintage. She's a person who loves 'options' and I am a creative person, Together, we created a ceremony that embodied both. I remember last year, at this very time, I was waking up with butterflies in my stomach, donning a gorgeous suit, a giant list of to-do’s scrolling through my mind, and the comforting thought that I'm finally marrying the finest, the most beautiful girl, God ever put on this earth. What a year! An indescribable, humbling feeling, to be loved that much by my wife. I just want to start by saying; Thank you, baby, Thank you for beaming, dashing towards...
