Gokusen Quote #1

Everyone wants to run away when there's trouble.
But if you run away, that's it.
Even when something bad happens, you gotta pick yourself up and keep going.
Isn't that what life is all about?

Merry Christmas...

Christmas came early to me...

Received 2 very special gifts from friends:
1. box of 50 mint sweets
2. souvenir stamp sheet from Trinidad & Tobaga (although I need to wait for this to come by)

Hohohoho

My new book & a new me....

Hahaha i am starting on a new book.

I grab it from the library simply becos the title got my attention. Although i completely don't know what it is about.

The title: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Law of Attraction

What came to my mind then...
Complete Idiot - sounds like moi
Guide - hmmm i could learn something out of it
Law - that's so serious
Attractions - is that magnetic, feelings???

The first few pages gave me a definition of The Law of Attraction

The flow of energy between each person and the universe. Positive thoughts and attitudes draw positive energy from the universe, while negative beliefs vibrate to attract negative results.

Whoa sounds so abstract but it is true though. Human beings are born to survive in a collective environment (can't remember the exact word). We stay together with ppl we can relate to, we belong to groups of ppl which shares the same beliefs and interests.

If you are pessimistic and you get together with a group of like-minded, what do you get? A doomsday scenario.

Hence, i am going to read through this book (serious!) and see if i can turn myself into a Positive person sending signals of positivity into the universe. Hehe sounds so great.

an extract from a book

marriage is something you have to work together and you have to love three things:

1. each other
2. your children
3. your marriage

Friend or Foe

What is TRUST - a term so elusive that its existence is rare.

A character that has turned its back on me at times but never so so serious. In the past one month, it has practically walked out on me. It sometimes take its form in a shirt and tie, someone close to you, harmless stranger...

Am I just starting to see the reality of life? So worried that I would become a paranoia freak who would scrutinize every single person under the microscope, trying to detect the slightest hint of a disguise. How tiring would it be to live a life that way.

sister's keeper

finally finished the book - not a single a tear although it triggered a lot of .

one of the statement by Julia is so valid:
"You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they are not".

is that the greatness of love or stupidity of love...

a place of partings and re-unions

It was one of the few mornings where I took the transport route B (instead of my company shuttle). The bus ride brings me to the airport where I need to transfer to the train.

As I plied through the airport terminal, it dawn on me that it is not just a place where passengers board and alight from the planes. It is a place that being through countless goodbyes and re-unions. A place where tears of sadness and joy are interspersed. Some of these departures are permanent but hopefully majority is temporary.

gu

ah gu - a nick coined by my ex-colleagues.

how it came abt, i hav no recollection.
some speculations:
1. a shorten form of my name which sounds similar - augu
2. cos i slogged as hard as a gu (bull in hokkien dialect)
3. cos i rushes (probably rushed) into things with vigor and rashness like a pitbull

it is an interesting question that i must ask...
