"With Caesar's mind comes a box,
that comes alive with a perfect square."
an unexpected greeting from afar, never fails to create the sweetest smile :)
HAPPY EASTER!!!

can't be held responsible
i just cant stand it when it seems to be my fault. or at least you make it seem as if it is my fault.
just because you're tired doesn't mean no one else is.
my world doesn't revolve around being of service to you only.
don't expect me or anyone else to read your mind all the time.
expectations can and do weaken one's mental strength.
it's just too tiring trying to be nice all the time.
it doesn't pay to be kind all the time.
ya true, perhaps only God knows.
it's not as if i am trying to play the victim or trying to seek attention,
but i just feel that you can be so unfair at times.
throwing your weight around isn't going to right the wrong.
i've grown up.
i have my own life now.
i can't always be at your beck and call.
i hope i'm not becoming too selfish.
but i just hope you can understand sometimes... it's not always about you.
i do have to admit, this is all partly my fault as well.
oh well... let'e hope some things can change over time.
on to a lighter note, it's a brand new week! mid march already!
time has passed us by so quickly, again.
i'm in my 3rd month of work.
i'm getting the hang of things, still there is so much more i need to know and learn about.
esp Polo. the next few weeks, starting from tomorrow, right into April is going to be pretty crazy! lots of events to prepare for. i am looking forward though :)
team effort at this point is of utmost importance.
esp for the BMW event. i never felt more thankful for them both who stayed behind so late, despite having to wake so early to standby for the event later that morning, to help Steff and i. really, thank you both so very much.
we owe you both big time.
it is at times like this, that i learn the value of team work.
running on 3 hrs or less of slp was no joke. adrenaline was all we had to get us through the day. the event turned out a success anyway! and God was on our side with the not-too-bad weather that day. haha! :)
nevertheless, i am thankful.
anyway, cheers to a new week ahead!
happy holidays too! =)

one hill is always higher than another
just like investments, every decision and choice in life is tied to a risk.
and just like the economy and the market, there are bullish and bearish years/periods.
ups and downs, simply put.
likewise with our thoughts and the things we do, isn't it?
one way or another, we just somehow end up in a whirlwind of mess, it could be good or bad, big or small; doesn't matter.
what's most important is what we take out of that learning lesson/life experience.
we must remember that we are in control of our own lives and that no one else is responsible for you, except you.
we should all learn to look for the light at the end of the tunnel, because going around in circles will not do anyone any good.
i need you to realise that it's not that i don't care.
it's just that i've learnt to be more selfish now.
because, do realise that i'm only human, there's only so much i can take.
perhaps you need to realise that you need me more than i need you.
life is not always a barter trade; or a tit for tad situation.
what you give, is what you get.
i hope you can learn to manage...
i'd like to end off with a statement that i came up with, at a random moment:
'even the strongest of absorption pads have a limited capacity.'

P.S. I Love You
finally got round to catching this ultimately romantic movie!i even found the soundtrack! it is out of stock at several music stores...
this movie, may just be another movie, but it truly touched my heart in more ways than one.
the love and emotions were so intense, it activated my already very active tear ducts.
it's amazing how love supersedes everything else.
truly amazing love story.
'sometimes there's only one thing left to say'............ how apt.

Class 95 moment
heard this statement made by Glenn Ong over the radio this morning on his G-Spot segment and thought i'd share it with everyone...
'Everything you need to be you,
you already have.'
'Everything you need to be you,
you already have.'

all things great and small
in our lifetime, we learn and inevitably go through the process of decision making...
we consider both macro and micro perspectives, attempt to stay objective and realistic,
try hard to stay true to ourselves, our emotions and values, try to consider how other people might look at us, what they think about us, or even, how they will feel.
but seriously, how many of us can truly make a good judgement/decision?
how many of us can multi-task well?
not many.
the truth is we're never alone.
decisions in life aren't meant to be easy.
but we mould ourselves, don't we?
as cliche as this sounds, really, we just need to follow our heart.
the answer may already be in you.
it's just up to you to face it.
most of the time, we're afraid.
fear gets to us when we're the weakest.
but don't ever succumb to it! challenge it.
make the most out of your life.
good opportunities don't come by every other day.
neither are they given freely, to every/any one.
there is a bigger world out there then just you and me.
it's up for exploration and growth.
so make full use of it!
second sunday of Lent taught me this,
we must pray for the courage to forgive.
FORGIVENESS.
For - Give - Ness = For - Giving
GIVE.
when we are afraid to give, we become selfish creatures.
but think of it this way, Jesus, He forgave us and gave his life for us.
what more could we ask for?
so, why can't we just forgive people who aren't so nice to us or those who have done us wrong?
it's not easy, true.
then again, nothing in life ever is easy, isn't it?
ask yourself the following:
was school easy? was meeting new people easy?
are maintaining relationships easy? is work easy?
we must/need to learn to forgive.
because forgiveness leads to peace and understanding.
it is truly wonderful virtue to possess.
i'm learning to accept that Love is pain and suffering, because our sufferings & pain comes from those we love/care about.
how willing are we to embrace love and forgiveness?

when does what mean
sometimes certain things that people say affects you - directly or indirectly.
or is it just pure sensitivity, or a lack of it?
or is it merely a sweeping statement?
but the question is how can you help/prevent it from affecting you too much or ignore it?
well, one of my resolutions is to learn how to prioritise and manage my emotions.
rather than having people remind you that you're messed up huh?

311207
this date marks the end of the year 2007.
havent had enough time to really reflect and recollect the year's happenings.
so fast time has come and gone. this year has come and is about to go.
so many things are abt to change. after all, change is the only constant thing in this world.
it is important to take time off to pause/stop in our busy tracks and learn to appreciate the people and things around us. because u will never know if it just slips you by or you might just lose it one day, without you knowing - when you least expected it.
here's a quick shout-out to all the people in my life, you know who you are:
Thank you, each and everyone one of you, for being in my life.
For the chance to know, grow and learn alongside you.
I appreciate every friendship i have and all that you have done for and with me.
I'm very sure we all share both happy and sad, good and bad memories.
Time is passing us by, yet we still stick by each other.
We each have vastly different; heavy/important committments and responsibilities, yet the most important thing is effort. It is what keeps and will continue to keep our friendships going.
I would like to wish one and all, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2008!
Let's all go through the path of life together, you know you are never alone.
All the best in your endeavours! stay strong and positive! and pls pls pls take good care of your health! It is something money cannot buy.
I love you all.
:)
peace.

christmas greetings
it's finally Christmas 2007!
time to gather with friends and family to enjoy this special occasion - to commemorate the birth of our Lord.
Christmas is a time to share love and make peace, be with the people you love and just enjoy the moment. else u'd have to wait another 12 months before the next comes again. however, till then, God knows if he'll take u away first isn't it?
that means that Christmas will be celebrated elsewhere. might not be as enjoyable, i think.
anyhow, no point thinking so much for now.
just simply enjoy the moment. enjoy what we have and share now.
live for the present! let tomorrow worry for itself.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I wish for world peace and for everyone to be happy.
Peace be with you.

joke: religious nuts
There were four country churches in a small Texas town: The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church and the Catholic Church. Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.
One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
In the Baptist Church the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.
The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
But -- The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
