In 3 days

south-america-map

and I fly to another continent that I have yet to lay my eyes on. Looking at the ticket on my hand now, it seems unreal...

So much things to clear, and I have yet time to pack.And this cty is said to be obessed with looks and style....sheesh.Lets see how sports shoes and a trench coat would pass off? A flasher maybe?

Many thanks to Ms Gan for loaning the trenchie so I can look stylish, well at least the upper part then....

Live well, live a quality life

Human beings are fickle and never learn.
You would think that you appreciate things more after each hurdle that you face, but the experience/ordeal is very quickly forgotten and you take things for granted again.

We should learn a thing or 2 from this chinese fable I heard when I was a kid about this emperor who was overthrown by an neighbouring cty, was let to live under the new rule, every night he would sleep on a makeshift wooden bed and taste the liver of a cow just to remind him day in and out the humiliation and pain that he suffered and to spur him to work hard to reclaim his kingdom. In the end he accomplished his task.

A dear grandaunt of mine doesn't feel well of the late, she has a condition which works as a ticking timebomb. We are worried for her and want enhance the quality of her life in her last years. But how so with problems that comes with old age, not hearing clearly, not seeing the tv due to poor eyesight,and when even walking to the bathroom becomese an ardous ordeal.

I am scared of getting old, being fragile, dependable and in pain. So live well and live a quality life while you can.

Priorities

Priorities...
1. Precedence, especially established by order of importance or urgency
a) An established right to precedence.
b) An authoritative rating that establishes such precedence.
2. A preceding or coming earlier in time.
3. Something afforded or deserving prior attention.


More commonly associated with work life, in terms of datelines, meetings, agendas, projects...with the exception of Mr D who uses it more often in deciding whether to splurge for a weekend trip across continents or a nice meal.

I have my 2-cents to add for this "Priorities" concept:
  • Priorities is cruel when it concerns the heart. Be it friendship or relationship.
  • The feeling is lousy when you discover that you are not Priority No.1 in the eyes of Friend A when you treat him/her as YOUR No.1. Sounds alittle like unrequited love i know :P
  • Logically speaking, if priorities of 2 pple do not match, it would be unfair to continue in the same manner as 1 party should undoubtly be deserving of less attention. However, the illogical expression is still widely predominant.

How hard for us to achieve equilibrium in this world, won't be it nice if you are treated the same way as you treat other pple? Like a rubber ball, it bounces back with the same amount of energy which you exert over it.

Worried Eyes Disclaimer: Do not read this as of anything to do with bgr. Just expressing a thought I have for some time.

She ran 10km :)

Ceci did it
After weeks of training, running at 5am in the morning, this petite sized hkie did it...ran 10km in 1 hr and 9 mins. Holy crap! Dont think I would even imagine/ voluntarily think of doing it. Nah....

Being her friend, I could only accompany her for the bfast feast right after the run....yummm carbs!:D

Am proud of you Miss Tam but I guess the self satisfaction you get matters more than anything else! :)

In less than 3 days

Am still amazed sometimes by the pace of my workplace and our efficient suppliers. ASAP seems to be the standard for all our datelines, so dont bother even asking ...

Granted that its a simplistic site and we have the design already,but in less than 3 days to cough out this contest site, linking all the paths, I am amazed by the capabilities of our suppliers and their dedication to work and for a client like us. Hey they have other clients too to handle :P

Nothing is impossible, brings a whole lot of meaning.

Check out the COOL musical notes, so nice :) www.fruittree.com.sg
