Guess what i did today?
Guess! Guess!

All right.I'll spill :)

Had a day IN with my boos today.
Sheenie beanie and ann the princess came over to my humble house! =D

Plums:
- Sheenie beanie came late due to certain "ic issues".
- Alice couldnt make it coz she got lost in wonderland ;p
- Ann came right after i gave my Codz a bath so she had to withstand baby shampoo odour!

Sweets:
- Chittery-chatted with Princess. Talked. Mostly about ourselves, our worries for the future*;p*, career prospects..Nope. It's not as depressing as it sounds. It was a fun talk. :D
- Watched Persuit of Happyness. Ate loads of love letters at the same time.

I do recommend this show. Despite fervour comments of dissatisfaction with the ending. It was too somber for my taste. Didn't show sappy happy moments ;p
- Codz slept in between me n sheenie beanie. He looked C-U-T-E.
- Codz tickles Princess and warmed up to her despite running away when she first attempted to carry him.
- After we filled our tummies wid H2Os and chinese keropok, we left for a walk ard my neighbourhood! *Spot me in Ah poh Shirt*

One of the fav pic i took
Left-Right: SB n P

The lake is beautiful and i wish somehow i will finally gather all my courage to ask the person-in-charge if i can try the paddle boat one day. One Day.
When we reached the children area, noone could resist the temptation of relishing childhood days.

Fuyoh! Watch Out!

Had a great luff.
Us 3 caught eye of a great snapshot spot. The sacred spot which we could model the see noe evil, hear no evil and speak no evil pose.But it was over the pool and none of us are Olympic runners so our attempt of taking pics using auto mode ended in fits of laughter. Princess was practically clambering over after the click but *missed* ;p Not to forget the one time we were waiting and waiting when i absent-mindedly forgot to click!

Sacred Spot.. Princess in Action!

Us waiting for Princess who missed it by a few secs!

Thankfully, we managed to grab hold of an Uncle to help snap a shot!
Tadaa. Yes. We were that desperate! ;p

Before.....

...and After

Thats all for today!

Attn!!Su n Allie!!:- You have to sleepover the next time so we can go jog the nex morning,kz?! Thx Su. It was gr8t spending time wid ya n all.


A short story :-

In the faint light of the attic, an old man, tall and stooped, made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs, he tilted the top box towards light and began to carefully lift up one old photograph album after another. His search began with the fond recollection of the love of his life, long gone, and somewhere in these albums was a photo of her he hoped to rediscover.

Patiently opening the long buried treasures, he was soon lost in a sea of memories. Although his world has not stopped spinning when his wife left it, the past was more alive than his present loneliness.

Setting aside one of the dusty albums, he pulled from the box what appeared to be a journal from his grown son's childhood. He could not recall ever seeing it before, or that his son had ever kept a journal. Opening the yellowed pages, he glanced over for a short reading and his lips curved in an unconscious smile. Even his eyes brightened as he read the words that spoke clear and sweet to his soul. It was the voice of the little boy who had grown up for too fast in the very house. In the utter silence of the attic, the words of guileless six-year-old worked their magic and carried the old man back to a time almost forgotten. Entry after entry stirred a sentimental hunger in his heart but it was accompanied by the painful memory that his son's simple recollection of those days were far different from his own.

How different? Reminded that he kept a daily journal of his business activities over the years, he closed his son's journal and turned to leave. Hunched over to keep his head from bumping on the rafters, the old man headed towards the wooden stairway and started his descent to his study. Opening a glass cabinet door, he reached in and pulled out his old journal than placed the two journals beside each other. His was leather-bound with his name engraved in gold, while his son's was tattered and the name "William" nearly scuffed from it's surface.

He ran a long skinny finger over the words, as though he could restore what had been worn away with time and use. As he flipped through the pages of his journal, the old man's eyes fell upon an inscription that stood out because it was so brief in comparison to scribblings of other days. In his own neat handwriting were these words," Wasted the whole day fishing with Will, didn't catch a thing." With a deep sigh and a shaking hand, he took William's journal, and found the boy's entry for the same day, 2nd Oct. Large scrawling letters, pressed deeply into the paper read:" Went fishing with my dad. Best Day of my Life."

To the world you may be just one person...
But to one person, you might just be the world.

Boo-ya!
Finished 'Tuesdays With Morrie'. Yup, the book i finally acquired :D with a very nice discount!
Tuesdays With Morrie is a memoir. It's about the discovery of life and what it is all about. What exactly do you want in life? What is it that you want to achieve? What is important to you in life?

Morrie, the prof has been diagnosed with ALS, a debilitating disease that leaves his soul perfectly awake inside a limp body. His former student, the author, visits him on Tuesdays to complete their final project, a thesis of dying and life.

Quotes in the book: Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
When one is aware that there's the possibility of dying one day*any day*, he will use every moment of his time doing something one will not regret 'till the last note is sang'. If there is this awareness, one won't procrastinate doing stuff they dream of doing.
If there's something you want to do, no time will ever be perfect. Just do it.

Quote I Love: Death ends a life, not a relationship.
As long as we love each other, and remember the love we had, we die without really going away. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you touched.

Found this photo while uploading today's 'class-all red' day. :D

Hi there, i guess my attempt to blog more succeeded!

Today's the last day be4 the CNY holz. I miss Penang/Butterworth's food and the ultimate pleasure of meeting up with my cousies, staying up late just to catch up with each other n of course the fireworks which i think is a very good symbol of love! :D Ever noticed the similiarity? Both light up themselves willingly for the sake of other's pleasure. I love viewing fireworks. The sheer delight in simply just looking at how it lightens up the whole sky is beyond words. It's simply magic! :D *now u noe why im practically flunking my sciences ;p*

Owh! Back to lighting fireworks! So much as i enjoy viewing fireworks, i loathe lighting them. Whenever i 'try' to light 'em, the scene always end with me being all squeamish n me passing the lighter/match to someone else. More specifically, my dearest cousin billy who so happens to be my lil 'hero'. :) Throughout my childhood, he's one of my fav playmate in my hometown! And despite being 1 and a half months younger than me, he's the one who 'takes care' of me, giving me sound advices and mouthing to me whatever stuff i shouldn't b babbling in front of the 'adults' n other what-nots. :) There's loads of superstitions i do not know of and he's the one who guides me! And not to forget waking up early to jog by the beach together etc.

If ever you do come across this site,Thank you billy! Life would definitely be diff without u. :D migosh, i don't know what to do if i'm not able to see you for the nx 4 yrs.

Well, it's past 12 now n my eyelids are dropping. Toodles everyone!
Happy CNY

"People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit." What a great quote, and every leader should take it to heart. Providing timely encouragement, recognition and support will help to light the fuse.and, in many instances, unleash their emotional energy.

I recently read a wonderful story about a young man who played for the legendary Alabama football coach, Bear Bryant. Bear had a third stringer on this team named Henry Peterson. Henry had never gotten to play, and just before the Alabama-Auburn Game, Bryant got a call from Henry.

He said, "Coach, my Dad died and I won't be able to make it to the game on Saturday."
Bear said, "No problem, son, you should be with your family." However, the next day Bear
got another call from Henry, and he said, "Coach, I got to thinking about it and I don't want
to let the team down. I'm going to be there."

Sure enough on Saturday, Henry was dressed and ready to play. Just before the game he walked over the Bear and said, "Coach, I want you to start me today." Bear said, "Son, are you nuts? This is the Alabama-Auburn game, and you've never played." Well, Henry persisted, and Bryant, never knowing why, said, "Okay, I'll put you in on the first play."

Henry Peterson scored three touchdowns in the first half.he almost beat Auburn by himself. Bear, at halftime, walked over and said, "Son, I don't know whether to kiss you or kill you. Why haven't you shown me you can play football like that?" Henry said, "Coach, did you ever see me walking around the campus with my Dad?" Bear said, "Yes, I have seen you." Henry then said, "Coach, my Dad was blind and today is the first day he ever got to watch me play football."

YOU CAN NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF EMOTIONAL ENERGY.

One timely shot of inspiration can quickly change negative thoughts into positive results.

Something was seriously wrong with me yesterday!! Felt *ahem* drugged!!!
Was feeling dizzy and super paranoid. Was banging into ppl n things. Came home with endless bruises.
The Best possible logical explanation i can come out with is:- Phy test.
That's the only source i can think of.
I'm the only person in this whole wide world who is Phetebic:-PHysics -TEst-phoBIC.A new kinda phobia. ^.^

It's horrid and if anyone finds a cure for it, TELL ME!!! coz i'm not gonna give up Phy just yet. It's MY challenge. :p

As for today, I had a gr8t day!! Class only started at 10 am so i finally got the long deprived beauty sleep i craved for.

Off to finish my pile of assignments!
Happy V Day ppl!

212 Attitude

I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years, and I've come to realize that the difference in success or failure is not how you look, how you dress, or how you're educated. It's how you think!

Early in my career, I was the vice president of sales for a food company. One time I was in Detroit hiring a sales person for the market. We had lined up eight appointments for the day, and the morning had been a bust. I looked up and my 1 o'clock appointment was standing at the door.

He was a tall, good-looking guy, and I remember thinking, "This could be the one." We
talked for about 15 minutes, and I asked a question I always ask, "What will you be doing five years from now?"

I'll never forget his answer. He said, "Mr. Anderson, the way these appointments have been going, I might still be interviewing!" Well, that wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear. We talked for a few more minutes and I excused him.

Then I looked up and my 2 o'clock was there ... a short guy with a wrinkled sport coat. He walked over and gave me a confident handshake, and a few minutes later I asked the same question, "What are you going to be doing five years from now?"

He looked me right in the eye and said, "Mr. Anderson, I'm going to be working for you. This job fits my skills and my needs to a tee. I don't just think, I know I can sell your product in this market. And furthermore, if you don't like my performance after thirty days, you don't owe me a cent."

Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather! He had just made me an offer I
couldn't refuse. But the offer had nothing to do with the money I might save; it had
everything to do with his unwavering passion and belief he could do it.

Within a year, Bob was the number one sales person in the company! The power of a
212° attitude can be unstoppable.

I'm feeling very staisfied indeed. =D

All smiles,

Had a gr8t start today.
A 3 hour break was just plain luxury after phy class which ended up with a really lost me.

Oh GOsh.

Then, i had to hold a meeting today n it was such a disaster.
Everything was so messed up and i was rushing off to my last driving class. Got there late n that itself is another story. Sigh. Honestly, if i was a newbie attending the meet, i would have just left. It was a freaking catastrophe! Gosh. Can i just dig a hole n bury my head?!! Never ever have i ever felt so utterly useless, shameful, frustrated and stupid.. Definitely not ALL at the SAME TiMe!! Argh. N worst of all, my teacher advisor was there! He witnessed the whole scene. Great. To top it all off, he was there to witness the scene WHEN the chaos started, not the nice smooth start. Simply great.

There's no use crying over spilt milk. I'm gonna pick myself up, forget about this incident and continue walking again. I'll live.

*Ps. driving test tmrw. 3 roads to memorize. I can do it!! I'm stong!

Currently blue,
