Something to think about.

Hey guys!

Just wanna share this passage with u. Read it on Sueann's blog quite some time back and i saved it so thought i'll share it with u guys. =)

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee‏

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. 'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. 'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'


Cheers!

The Secret.

Hello people!

I decided to start updating again since everyone is asking me to update lets hope i dont get lazy again. lol! Before i say anything i just wanna say The weather these days are getting hotter and hotter as days go by. Hate the stupid weather, cant stand it! Urgh...annoying!! I feel like i get grouchy easily nowadays and i think its cos of the damn weather. Anywayssss....today was a pretty boring day just stayed home all day roasting my ass off. Just finished reading The Secret a book my mum gave me quite some time back but i just started reading it the day before yesterday finished it in 2 days. It was quite interesting makes u look at life from a different perspective and it really makes one think. Dont know if it really works but i guess trying wont hurt. A friend is down from KL will be meeting her for lunch tomorrow. Cant wait cos at least i'll be out of the house dont like staying at home all day. Thats about it for today i'm gonna end today's post with something i read in the book.

"See the things that you want as already yours.
Know that they will come to you at need.
Then let them come.
Don't fret and worry about them.
Don't Think about your lack of them.
Think of them as yours,
as belonging to you,
as already in your possession."

Good night my darlings!
xoxo

COTTON ON IS LOVE!

Lacking of updates i know and i'm sorry my internet is not very co-operative with me this past week or soon. anyways, here's what went on in my life the past few days.

Went to school with Lynette, Carolyn and Mich on Thursday to collect the horrendous A4 sized Envelopes. haha... u girls know wht i mean. After that Mich had to meet her sister for lunch whilst Bootiful and I accompanied Blur for lunch. Nette and i weren't that hungry so we jus shared some dim sum while Carol had her Fish Noodle Soup....i think. hahaha!

Once we were done eating we walked around i wanted to go to Cotton On Body and Cotton on so they both accompanied me there. First stop, Cotton On Body.... like OMG... they were having sale 2 for $20 for different boxers and camisoles. so was dirt cheap.. i absolutely Love boxers cos their so comfy especially for lazing around at home or sleeping. And their camisoles were soooo soft i decided i had to get one of each. HAHA! Nette bought 2 pairs of boxers as well.. used them to sleep that nite.. SO COMFY!!! hahaha... ok and as most of my close friends know i'm a serious Cotton On Fanatic so when i saw the sign saying that their looking for part timers i was thrilled! So i enquired and the interview was today. will tell u about that tmr.

Some of u must be wondering den what happened to my SATS airport job? well, until now they haven't called me for training they said it'll take some time so its really annoying. So i decided on working part-time in the mean time to earn some cash rather den sitting at home and rotting my life away!

After that we headed to IMM for dinner at Street 21 Hong Kong Cafe. Nette had her CHEESY Curry Chicken Baked Rice. haha.. and i had Beed Noodles..i dunno why i had that but i had this strange craving for soupy noodles. lol!

After dinner we walked around bought more stuff and headed to Boon Lay where i met Brad and we headed home he satyed over that night. Btw, Thanks Bootiful for waiting and accompanying me the whole day.. LOVE U! Meet up soon ok ok?? =D


Friday Brad and I decided to head down to Cathay to go catch Madagascar 2. IT WAS SOOOO FUNNY!!!! hahaha... it was really good.. i personally enjoyed it better den the first one. Didn't take pic though cos we didnt have much time... LOL! after the movie we headed to this Korean place for dinner at Park Mall which i wanted to try for quite some time as i love korean food! I ordered my usual, Kimchi Soup and Brad order Kimchi Ramen w/Pork. It was really Yummylicious and worth every cent.. i totally recommend that place.

Handwriting Test

I was reading Brenda's blog and saw this handwriting test website its quite interesting so i decided to try as well..

Here's my results:

Tiara is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Tiara will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Tiara an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Tiara is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Tiara is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Tiara doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Tiara will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

Tiara is a cumulative and procedural thinker. She likes to have all the facts before making a decision. She thinks or creates much like a brick mason, stacking fact upon fact. Her thought pattern or the conclusion will not be complete until the last fact is in place. Like that brick wall, Tiara learns faster through visual demonstration than through quick verbal instructions. Once she has learned new material, and understood it, she won't forget.

Tiara is a methodical thinker, therefore she is able to build things and come up with new ideas. In an argument, she often loses to rapid thinking people because she is thinking thirty minutes later about what she should have said. These people often are very booksmart, but can be out-gunned in a rapid fire verbal debate.

She may learn new ideas at a slower pace than other "less detailed" people, but once she gets it, she can handle repetition. Some people hate jobs with too much repetition, she can handle it better than most.

Tiara's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Tiara that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Tiara also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Tiara is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Tiara's self-concept is artificially low. Tiara will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Tiara to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Tiara is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

Tiara is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Tiara has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

Go try it when u guys are free. See what ur handwriting says about u..

Halloween + High Sch Musical 3.

Yo yo yo!! wassup my homies?!?!

hahaha... ok i'm retarded, i know.. anyways, as i was telling u guys that day was going to update about last Friday well...first of all i met Brenda at Payar Lebar MRT station first and we made our way to Orchard first walked around Wisma while waiting for Charlotte and Jarald. About an hour later they came and we went to Far East for dinner. I had Hor Fun and it was one of the most tasteless Hor Fun i've ever tasted! It was so watery and there was like barely and seafood inside but it was like surrounded by veggies.. it looked kinda gross. But i was sooo hungry so i just ate what i could. It was so Not satisfying at all!! Very disappointing... oh well.. after dinner we headed to Basement 1 to take pics.. haha.. as it was Halloween they had some cool Halloween deco put up so as usual we cam-whored. Lol! After cam-whoring we headed to Taka walked around there a bit and lastly headed to Cine to wait for Joanna. We decided to play arcade whilst waiting for her. it was fun. haha!

After she came we went to level 9..we wanted to play Wii but sadly it was only available at 12 so we didnt play. Suddenly my dearest JOANNA pulled me to the place where they have the machine with the stuff toys..u know the ones u have to like aim and use the clipper thing to try grab it. yeah those machines. Didn't think much of it but she wanted to play... so i thought why not i try also and i found the Baby Minnie with a I love you heart was so cute so i decided to try my luck. Tried twice both time i caught it but it fell. the second time it fell jus next to the hole. so was quite irriated. lol! Was going to go again when Brenda said 'come like me try.' den i said ok.. and amazingly she got it...dont know why but i was so happy i screamed..i felt like a child again at that point of time. HAHA! Thanks Bestieeee!!! And i tell u tht thing is damn addictive!!! Joanna is a BAD influence! LOL!!! It was really fun though.. it was running late so after that Brenda and i left while the others went for coffee and movie.

Post Overload!!!

Hello my long lost friends!

i'm back..missed me?? i know u did..muahaha...right bootiful? ;P haha okok anyways i know i know its been ages since i've last updated. Everyone keeps asking me why i have not been updating well, i'm sorry the reason is mainly cos my internet is damn f*cked up la seriously.. it has been giving problems for the past 2 mths or so. My modem has some serious mood swing issues like sometimes it works but MOST TIMES its does not! Its really very annoying and sometimes when it works it doesn't last very long. so its pretty irritating. I called Singtel and they sent someone over. The fella said that the problem lies in the modem as it is old and needs to be changed. This is not the first this has happened we have changed the modem before but still the same problem only thing is that its alot worst now. So my dad and i decided that since our internet plan is going to end like end of the yr we'll just wait and subscribe for Starhub Broardband instead. haha. so yeah. thats the annoying story as to why i've not been updating and not coming online as often any more. And if u guys were wondering why my blogskin is so plain now the reason is cos i had problem with my old one. It seemed that some ppl were not able to read my posts for some reason so i changed it to this for the time being. sigh. i have so many problems dont i. LOL! Anyways, this is going to be one damn long post to keep u guys filled in on the significant things that have been happening in my life for like the past 1 mth.

Firstly, dunno if u guys remember but i said i had registered for my driving and all abt a month or so ago. well, i did my Basic Theory Test (BTT) and passed on the first attempt. WOOOHOOOOOO!!!! haha. It wasnt too bad but i was extremely nervous the whole time but i really studied and it was actually easier den i had expected it to be. So that was really gd news. After the test the traffic police guy told me i could either go and register for my Provisional Driving License (PDL) that way i can start my practical lessons OR book my Final Theory Test (FTT) and wait. So obviously i didnt want to wait so i decided to just register for my PDL or that i can start off with my practical instead of wasting time. Driving at first was kinda a challenge for me [but i guess for most beginners it is. haha!] but i had my 5th lesson jus yesterday and i'm starting to get the hang of it. Its getting more and more fun as each lesson goes by. Lol!

Secondly, i went for a job interview for Sinagpore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) for the Customer Service Agent at the airport. This was one of the jobs i've always wanted to try working as. And for those who dunno wht that is, it is the people at the check-in counter at the departure hall of the airport. Anyways, my mum saw the article in the newspaper saying there will be a walk-in interview for the position.It was for part time so i thought why not try it out right.. so yeah i went for the interview anddddddddddddd I got the jobb!!! =D Had to go for medical and waited about 2 wks before they called me down for briefing and now i'm waiting for their call to know when i start my training.

Thirdly, went for Lynette's bootiful 21st bbq at her condo with Brad. It was great seeing them used to see them like 5 days week when we had class now we barely see each other so really miss their company. it was fun. The food was amazing! Fun while it lasted.. thanks for inviting us nette nette! Muackss...

Here are some pics (their pretty small though asked lynette to send me the original copies but she didnt -_- so i jus grabbed these frm her blog.) :





Ok thats Lynette's b'day next Brad and I celebrated our 3rd Yr Anniversary on 22 October. First he brought me to Fosters an English Rose Cafe at Holland V for dinner. It was a really nice place loved the setting the dim lights...very reomantic la. hehe! The food was not too bad but we felt that they did not have much variety on the menu. I had the Mushroom and Asparagus Pasta and Brad had the Seafood Medittranean Pasta. Mine was ok it was like Aglio Olio style but i found it a lil too oily but the musrooms was SO GOOOD! Brad's tomato based pasta tasted better though. But overall i love the place. Peek-turessss (most of it is pretty dark due to the lighting) :

My Mushroom and Asparagus Pasta

Brad's Seafood Mediterranean Pasta

Our Hotplate Rocky Walnut Brownie

Thats all about our anniversary dinner last but not least my family and i went to Batam for a short getaway during the Deepavali weekend (24-27 Oct'). Was not too keen on going there at first but in the end i decided to go ahead with them since i've never been there before anyway. It was actually better den i expected we stayed at Nongsa Village it was really nice and spacious. It was a chalet-like Bangolow facing the seaside really cosy with wooden interiors. Didn't do much there it was a really short but relaxing holiday.

Ok i'll jus let the pictures do the talking..... =)

getting a pedicure done...

my precious mummy and daddy singing.. hehe!

waiting for the taxi to bring us to town...

at the restaurant waiting for our food on our last day.

Ok thats about it... told u i didnt really do much.. lol.. anyways, i met up with the girls + jarald yesterday for dinner and stuff will update about it tomorrow maybe cos i haven't gotten pics frm charlotte's camera yet.. so yup i warned u it was going to be one damn super duper long post.. haha! it took me like the whole day today to write it and upload the pics..

I'm now officially tired have to wake up early tmr going for 10.15am mass den lunch at Grandma's after that going to watch High School Musical 3 with Brad. like Finally! seems like the whole wide world has watched it except me.. haha! Can't wait heard its gd..
