I'm supposed to be musically inclined but..

After the 1st attempt to be a guitarist at a Wii “Guitar Hero” session on Xmas Eve failed miserably, i further humilated embarassed myself by playing a song from Aerosmith on the PS3.
It must be the rock vibes i got from watching an expert playing the rock tunes. 3 buttons, 5 buttons, you make it seem so easy with that smooth performance!

I’m supposed to be musically inclined, being able to skip grades for Piano, get good grades w/o practising. Buti wasn’t even allowed to finish the song. Song Failed!

Er her

Today i said some things that may hurt you

Over the months, i was bit stressed up from things happening around me. When you kept pushing me for an answer, i wanted to run away from it all..

I needed time. You were just gonna get the same answer each time u asked me..

I hate being the one to break things off, i rather be the one at the other end , get hurt..I know tt you’re really nice and sincere and I tried.

I do hope you understand tt you dun have to change anything for me. One day, you’ll find someone who like you for who you are..

Take good care

Today i saw the other side of you

Today i saw the other side of you. The attentiveness, kindness and patience in you simply impressed me. The quietness added some brownie points.. I’ll promise to stop stereo-typing you.

A drama followed but u saved the day.

Glad it didn’t spoil our weekend..

Look around you Val

She says i should consider him after she met him over a gathering..

She says that he seemed like a nice, decent man who was really into me. She was always very accurate in her assessment of the guys around me.

My Exes.. my frds..how i thought the world of my bf when we were together but she tot otherwise.

When u love someone, you let them get away with everything and anything. You love those tiny little imperfections and saw the beauty in them. Anyone dissing him off would spark off a war with you.

Humans are strange creatures. You always lookat the unreachable, the complex when the really nice ones r just smacked by your side. Maybe i should just listen to her..

Guys are like parking lots..

My guy friend was explaining the source of my single-hood:

Guys are like parking lots- The ones left behind are either very far or handicapped
Handicapped lots; meaning to say there’s something wrong with them somewhere..

Laughed so much it made my day already =)

Tonight i'll cast you out of my life..

If you asked me why u did not hear from me, it’s because one of the most difficult tasks for the human heart to be engaged in is the act of saying goodbye to pple they care about..
To even breath the word ‘goodbye’ creates a lump in my throat..

We all find ourselves saying goodbye to significant people in our lives from time to time. This is an inevitable fact of life but it does not get easier with practice.

Nevertheless, I am grateful for this reminder of just how precious you were, once, the intimate fabric that define my life..

In loving memory of Halim

Dear Halim..

I was awoken up by the incessant ringing on my handphone, and wondered why in the world did all the guys keep calling me..

I returned the call to Justin. He told me that he got bad news.. it was about you..i thought that u were involved in an accident, but i didn’t expect it to be fatal..

He said you passed away in a road traffic accident. I was shocked, angry and my mind went blank.. i rushed down to the accident site, and there you were, lying there motion-less.. The blood streaming from your head and u were wearing your favourite jade necklace..
We have all seen road traffic accidents ever so frequently, but why did it have to be you?!?
My tears fell when i saw u there, cried again when they towed your bike.. and now.. i just can’t help it..

Bike enthusiast you were, i remember asking you why u wanted to ride a bike as it was dangerous.. but i have to admit that you look really cool on ur bike that im so glad i told u this at the chalet retreat of 2008..

My dear Halim, my precious probationer..

Ever so devoted to work, you volunteered to be involved in all the operations, thou not compulsory.. i said that perhaps your body need to rest.. not to overwork, but you said you don’t have much to do at home, and that if you were to be in office, you could see us, and hang out with us..

I’ll remember you as always being the protective one over me. I was so angry when SOMEONE at work passed comments about you to others, i actually confronted the person, telling him not to pass comments about you to others, and to talk to me personally if he had a problem..
I hate it when others misjudge you, and dun wan you to get hurt, just like how you would speak up for me.

You wanted to do something right in your life, let your parents be proud of you and that’s why you made the choice in your career.. why did God take you away just like that?
I was your trainer and so we spend countless hours together, cruising along the busy streets, singing along to our favourite tunes from the radio, or just talking.. i knew i could tell you everything.. how embarassing or crappy the matter was.. and you would listen with an open heart~

You told me that u got me a farewell gift when i was leaving the company and wanted to pass it to me, but i was tied up at work.. Now all i have are pictures of you.. the ones we took at my last day of work, posing along the ‘runaway’ outside office :~(
Heard from Siti, the night before the accident that u finally got a pigeon hole-from me.. where i used to have my letters kept there so it held special significance.. and how u were proud of me, now that i’m doing public relations..

I never had the chance to tell you how proud i was, of you.. everyday..
I have helped you to convey the message that you were looking forward for your ‘confirmation’ and that of your inner-most feelings..

Still can’t accept the fact that you’re gone.. this is all too sudden for me..
Feeling devastated :~(

What motivates you to come to work everyday?

Motivation is defined as the drive to do work. Just to begin with, it would be an agony if one has to drag his feet to work every day. Customers will notice the difference whether one is passionate about his work or is in the business simply to earn a living.

Would any of us patronize a shop or firm if we were disappointed in its products, service or that it failed to deliver? Definitely a no-no. Henceforth, staying motivated is an essential ingredient in professional success; regardless of whether someone is selling real estate or putting labels on cans of baked beans.

The factor of motivation is what makes things happen in both of these positions, though quite different. What creates motivation in individuals is as varied as the people themselves; some people have a strong desire to succeed, some people seek approval from others, and still others are motivated simply by the fact that they will be paid for their efforts.

To me, motivation goes far beyond monetary or professional gain. What motivates me to come to work every day would be the ability to extend a helping hand or at least offer a listening ear to the aged, helpless or the disillusioned.

In my course of work, I am able to meet people from all walks of life. I enjoy talking to such people, making friends, learning about the various cultures and looking at life itself from their perspectives.

Or maybe it’s the infectious laughter of my endearing colleagues who never fail to bring a smile to my face. Seeing their faces light up with excitement and beaming with happiness just makes my day.

But how do we stay motivated at work? We need to possess optimism, an outlook on life such that one maintains a view of the world as a positive place. We need to believe that people and events are inherently good, so that most situations work out in the end for the best.

A common conundrum illustrates optimism-versus-pessimism with the question; does one regard a given glass of water, filled to half its capacity, as half full or half empty? First of all, we need to see the glass as half filled and then add positive, productive action to that optimism.
This is when truly amazing things can happen. We need to seek new challenges and not let ourselves get into a rut with the regular tasks we have to complete every day.

For example, we can learn a new skill that will improve our job performances or add value to the company. This will lead to promotions, pay bonuses and respect from your peers.

Quote I live by till date are, “Work your way up or rust your way out” - Holton Buggs “I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live” George Bernard Shaw
It can truly be said that enthusiasm is contagious; in fact, without the contagious nature of enthusiasm in my colleagues, the world would be a truly dull place.
