Listen the most, observe more, and speak the least.
Life is a learning journey.
Not too late to realise the only person to trust is yourself.

All I need is a couple of minutes to give thanks.
Thankful to be healthy
Thankful for a complete family
Thankful to have the best boyfriend and his family (so far so good)
Thankful that I have an ideal job, savings, and to be running for comms
Thankful to have sturdy thoughtful good friends.

When times are bad, I'm grateful. For making me a stronger woman (:

Give credit where credit is due. Be humble enough to acknowledge when someone else has done well. Other people need support just like you do.

3hrs to waking up, plus another hour on my way to Desaru - UOB Sales Retreat!
2d1n with 4sets of clothes, nice.

Placing the blame on others is never the way to go. Especially when you have the power to fix things.
Think before you react.

When you achieve sth great, ppl comment that you're sheer lucky. They failed to see the hard work behind your success. They're just sour abt it. Bitch.

Just when I'm feeling very demoralised, I found this quote on Facebook.
老天爷始终要我坚持到底!

One week passed so fast, I was just partying much last weekend!
And I've been officially tagging for a week. Still trying to adjust my body clock, the stress level and the jargons I've to get used to.
I can do better! (:

And I'm aiming to clear 36k in 2 months!

跟老闆爭，爭贏的，也是輸 ( 年底打考績時，你就知道了 )
跟老婆爭，爭贏的，也是輸 ( 她不理你，你就得 DIY)
跟朋友爭，爭贏的，也是輸 ( 搞不好失去一個朋友 )

Personal growth will always feel uncomfortable at first.
Growth will always begin at the end of comfort zone.
It can be a new new activity or just a small experience, like talking to a stranger.
Once you get the ball rolling, many of these new experiences will open doors to life-changing opportunities.
And with a strategy of continuous small steps into new experiences, we are able to sidestep the biggest barrierto positive change: fear.

Not until after a trip round the universe have i comprehend this - "Things happen for a reason."

I'm still feeling damn amazed as I piece every event together, like god really made a big joke out of me.

Sweet and blessed (:

Ystd we drank for 12hrs and sua 3 places. Mad life of a PBA.

I'm supposed to study but I've wasted the entire day doing nth!

Overthinking will ruin you, ruin the situation, turn things around, make you worry, & just make things worse than they actually are.

For the first time I'm bringing home work to do. There's roadshow on Monday yet Liyun and I are nowhere near finishing the report. My boss is just good at delegating jobs, fuck. What determines a good boss?

I'm penning this down to note that I'm moving along with my goals.
It's a matter of doing things that are right rather than what you like.

Something that I can't seem to comprehend:
Why? (x10)

Those texts dated over last year brought a smile across my face. If only I could open my golden mouth to tell you I'm as interested in you as you are in me, I would.
I'm sorry that I gave you such lousy attitude. Sorry for always not speaking my mind. Sorry for causing so much jealousy & bad blood because I didn't give you enough assurance. Sorry for being too hard to get.
It's me. Ego killed me flat!
Then again, it takes 2 hands to clap.

Sigh why am I posting only when negativeness overwhelms me?
失去了真的才懂得珍惜。
11/09 is exactly one year since ANMETOC, much sweetness and innocence back then (:

I'm feeling a big pinch to delete those messages.
Cus I'm leaving all doors shut, no turning back that is.
It hurts though.

came across this email from junie! and somehow touched me (:

MUST READ: The "Story of Appreciation" may be someone's wishful thinking but it carries a powerful message for our modern society.

**Story of Appreciation**
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".
The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner.
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office. The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'
The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."
The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.
The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others.
For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*
You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it.
After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person.
The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

revived my 2nd line, feels excited as if i've gotten a newphone.
arghhhhh i've yet to get my phone! so many things to do but so lil time and i suck at time management.

without lifting a finger you're holding me back.

nice (:

just a smile and the rain is gone (:

i'm holding on cus i know i matter to you somehow,
but i'm telling myself to move on even with mixed feelings.

how ironical girls can be, emotional over logic.

It's december, less than a month to end 2010!
So many things happened unexpectedly this year- breakups, quitting school, stepping into society getting involved with real biz etc you name it.
Took me a lot to step out of my bimbotic comfort zone. And getting out of the illusions of true friends cus you'll soon know who's who in the realistic world.
I need stay clear of that suicidal land mine but sad to say I'm plunging deeper. Ahhhh howieeeeee!
