Quotes i found.

While going through my TM file this morning,i found some interesting quotes or saying that had been spoke by our fabulous toastmasters in their speeches. Before i ditch away the notes,i would like to jot them down.

• Learn from the past, act now, build a better future (so inspiring)
• All of us are going to do better tomorrow, and we would, if only we started today - Zig Zigler
• Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is (i think i said it during one of the meetings for the invocation session's "thought of the day")
• Disease of attidue can be cured - if you have an attitude problem or you know someone who has, it's not the end of the world,it can be cured, yeah!

I feel inspired now and going back to work.....

Let's get sketchy.

You can get your sketch from here too!

mind and body goes in different directions.

Today,i got my mac book back, save and sound thanks to Stewart who flew back from KK to SDK today.

Today is not a good day to work,not a good day to do anything just because i feel suck,in everything, every minute, every hour of my day. Yes, today.

Today, my car played a little trick on me to remind me that it's old and needed some tender loving care,which i dont provide obviously. I just couldnt care less,i'll just drive, drive and drive until someone tells me to get the car to be serviced.I dint even bother to get it washed nowadays where i remember back then,i was so keen to keep it clean,and i vowed i would keep it clean. That does not happen anymore today.

For the first time today,i am feeling so tired to read the news,the blogs and the people. I dint even switch on the TV during lunch break at home. I just want to close my eyes and have a nap.

Today,my mind and body goes in different directions. I talked about this with Stew while msn-ing:

me: I dont wanna go to the ....... because my mind is telling me to go but my body tells me not to go.

Stew: u mean your body is telling you to go but your mind is telling you not to go.

me: Yeah, the other way round (see i couldnt even differentiate what is what)

Stew: your body is just the vehicle while your mind is the driver of the vehicle.

So, as my friend said here, i should listen to my mind and let the mind be the driver who drives me crazy today.

Today, my "auntie" visits me.

one should read, read and read.

"No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance". - Confucious

Yes, i think i need to do that more often.I found myself running dry of vocabulary for blogging, doing speech and chatting. Yeah,i'll not make reading as an ancillary priority now. Not only that,i find my life is rather "flat" nowadays.

Speaking of reading, i came across with this article that made my eyes wide opened (not really wide actually). But what i wanna say is,the world is changing so radically, i am not talking about wars, world leadership or politic etc, i am talking about the culture of the once so chauvinistic, man dominated society of Japan can turned to be what it's reported in today's article --> click to read more.

I was thinking about this: The picture of the daunting face of military men during the world war obviously became extinct not only because it's history, but because it's no longer nurtured in their young generation nowadays of how their great great grandfathers have fought in the war or how important their unique culture was before. The country's once deep rooted, stereotyped culture has begun to vanish generation by generation. How sad is that....

Memory.

Attended Henry and Kah Yun's wedding dinner last night and had a good chat with Janet and Melissa through out the night. An introduction from Janet to listen to online radio at http://www.1065.com.au/, reminds me of the life in Perth,everything there.

Can't wait to set foot on that place once again next month. Before that, really looking forward to meet up with Jasmine in Singapore too,since i missed the chance to meet her in May.

Some snapshots from the dinner.

the weekend at Room 930.

How's the weekend? It's fine spending a day in KK,although short,i enjoyed every bit and pieces of the difference since i last visited the town in last December.

The idea of spending a night in the lavish LeMeridien KK was not bad at all. After much walking through and flow to McD,i finally set foot in the hotel lobby and i instantly felt like its luxurious taste filling up my sense.

A plasma TV and a DVD player in the room.

Why this hotel? Besides the fact that it's new, it's because of i nearly worked in this hotel about 2 years ago. Obviously,i did not accept their offer as the offer came too late and i had already accepted an offer from another local company,thus, still staying in this town now.But i've always think about how everything will be or how my life will be if i were to choose to take the hotel's offer? Will i be an entirely different person from what i am now? Will i have a different life style?

That's a cross road for me to choose its path after my postgrad study and i was left standing on my feet to make a decision that seemed so difficult to make at that moment. Going to an entirely new place was not a fascinating idea to me,i am not the very adventurous type of person nor there was something that i wanna run away from, to make me feel like moving to another town. I suppose there'll always be pros and cons in whatever decision i make as there'll always be ups and downs in life. I've chose to stay and i can proudly say that i do not regret making this decision today.

The coffee or the cup? Part 2

I have to re-do my speech on the next meeting. I've to search for more points,hmm...where should i start looking at?

But i'll do it after the weekend... hehe.

Dream Job.

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" - Confucius

How true is that? How many of us can have our dream job and not working a day in our life?

I'm still looking for one.

my cute arm rest.

This is my arm rest from Elva....and as it says,i've never took a nap on it before!

The coffee or the cup?

That's my topic for Thursday night,i am still preparing it at the moment,fingers cross.


Wish me luck.

first thing first.

~* voila*~ Here i am,in a brand new blogspot.

I never thought blogging could be so much in style and colors and creativity,thats the main reason i moved because i can live,laugh and love,even more here.

I never had the chance to blog about my uni life and social life while abroad (cause there's still no such thing as "blog"),so i might do some posting about that if i could still find my memory in it,of course,the photos as well!

I'm still figuring how to play around with this.
