The life and mind of Adeline Ong

Had a night out with my friends at Zeta Bar for my birthday.

Birthday month is upon us. I am getting older.

We celebrated the IOM July Babies birthday last Friday.

Enjoy the pics!!!

Everyone say, “IOM!!!�

At the head of the table.

July Babies!!!

At the Look Out tower.

First duo

“Yerr, lookin’ at me, punk?�

Once again, I am plagued by nosy people inquiring about my status message.

Currently, I have this posted.

“The worst way to miss someone is when they’re right beside you and yet you know you can’t have them.”

I found it poetic and ironic at the same time.

Fine, I do admit I have a major soft spot for a certain person but that has nothing to do with it. (Perhaps subconciously it does but my concious mind is denying any knowledge of it)

No, it is not a big secret who I have this soft spot for. The people around us know about it and I do believe he does as well. But since neither of us are saying anything, I am just keeping it the way it is.

Am I happy?

Well, while it lasts… Sure.

In the future?

The future is unpredictable. Who wants a love life that is predictable anyways?

But back to the topic, no, I am not putting that status message because of him. Perhaps I should but it is too late now since it is already up.

Are you even following what I am blabbing about? If you do, at least one of us does because I think my fingers have a mind of their own now. They are typing faster than I can actually think to form a sentence together.

In his audio program of the 21 Secrets of the Self-made Millionaire, Brian Tracy mentions, “If you want to fly with the eagles, you have to stop scratching with the turkeys.�

This hits really close to home.

Recently, I have been fortunate enough to be in the company of some eagles. However, I still have turkeys around me. Now I can choose to leave them behind but being the sentimental fool, I still want to help them. Despite many telling me that these people are lost causes.

I want them to be eagles too. But I am flying a bit too fast for them to transform. So sorry Turkey, perhaps one day you will find your Eagle wings.

Have you ever looked back in your life and wonder if you ever achieve those dreams that you had as a kid? Recently, I am looking back and realized a lot of things that has happened and have been happening in my life now are intentions and dreams that I have released into the great unknown universe.

Let’s have a little flashback.

When I was 7, I wanted to be a teacher.
At the age of 19, I had my first proper job as a teacher; teaching at one of the most prestigious and oldest schools in Malaysia.

When I was 12, I wanted to be a writer.
At the age of 18, I had my first article published in the local newspaper.

When I was 16, I wanted to go to acting school.
At the age of 20, I attended a local university to do acting and directing.

When I was 17, I wanted to study in USA.
At the age of 22, I was chosen as student ambassador to Berea College for a semester.

When I was 22, I wanted to be a trainer.
At the age of 24, I became a Cultural Orientation Trainer.

When I was 23, I wanted to work with refugees.
At the age of 24, as a Cultural Orientation Trainer, I am doing just that.

Hmmm…

Slightly delayed but still achieved.

I just hope that my other wishes and dreams will come true.

This is to the future…
