Quinquinevere

On Sunday night, i locked myself out while i took a step outside to talk to Celby cos he called. And no one was at home!! Was wearing a see through singlet and no bra. Damn it!! And there are people walking past by. Oh..how embarassing!! Luckily the table (don know whos) was still outside my flat so i climbed on the table and tried to unlock the window and took the umbrella hanging on the window sill so that i can use the umbrella handle to unhook my door. But the umbrella handle came off!! DANG!! So i have to go to my neighbour and borrow an umbrella at like 10pm when there is no sun nor rain. But was glad that i could open my door...sigh of relieve..lolz

Last night was my third time trying to use my office key to open my house door. The first two time was less then a month back. Guess i have more responsibilty in making sure i always have my office keys with me coz i have been reprimanded alot of times for forgetting to bring my office keys and unable to open the office in time. So all i have in mind is my office keys and i always unconsciously pull out my office keys instead of my house keys when i am in front of my door and worst of all trying to poke my office keys into the hole various times wondering why couldn't the key fit into the hole. It took me a few attempts to realize that it was not my house key...blur blur blur...

Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you, which led you to love the people you have right now!!

To all my lovely friends:

Learn to love the people who are with you at present. Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you, which led you to love the people you have right now.

When you LOVE someone, you'll do CRAZY things you can't explain, you'll DENY the truth and BELIEVE in lies. When you LOVE someone, you SACRIFICE, GIVE EVERYTHING you've got and DON'T THINK TWICE.

You risk it all no matter what.

Everything in life is temporary because everything changes. That is why it takes courage to love, knowing it might end anytime...having faith will make it last.

Love is the feeling we fall in and out of, and every time we fall off, we learn to hold on tighter...hoping that next time, we may never have to let go.

They say when love knocks at your door, open it. But do you know that sometimes love enters through the back door and before you begin to notice it, it's on it's way out.

Have you ever loved only to let it go?..

Have you ever hated someone and loved him so?.. Have you ever missed someone so bad it made you cry? Have you ever seen someone left alone without knowing why?

TRUE: Lucky is the man who wins the first love of a woman but luckier is the woman who wins the last love of a man.

Love is not the right word to say when you feel guilty nor the right word to say when you like a person but love really matters when we share our thoughts, our minds, and our hearts...

Love is not for beauty or color of the skin, but for a heart that is loyal within, for beauty fades and the skin would grow old but a heart that is loyal will never turn cold.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

A love is easy to feel, so hard to explain; so easy to get, so hard to let go; so easy to spell, so hard to define...and yet everyone is still taking the risk.

THAT'S LOVE!

We are all a little WEIRD and life's a little WEIRD, and when we find someone whose WEIRDNESS is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in love in mutual WEIRDNESS and call it LOVE!

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you aches and pain, but if you don't FOLLOW YOUR HEART; in the end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.

Don't run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans and He has His time. God's clock is never one minute early nor one minute late. It always strikes right on time.

If someone loves you, love them back not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you have never seen or felt without them.

The past is meant to be used as a tool for the future. Bad experiences indeed make you bitter but the lessons learned should make you better.

ON LETTING GO: It hurts to see someone you love happy with somebody else; but wouldn't it hurt you more to see that person unhappy...with you?

When you find ARMS that will hold you at your weakest, EYES that will see you at your ugliest, LIPS that will kiss you in both instances, and a HEART that will love you at your worst, then you have found true love.

Someday, someone might come into your life and love you in a way you always wanted.

If your someday was yesterday.. LEARN

If your someday is tomorrow.. HOPE

If your someday is today.. CHERISH!!!

Woke up with a very very swollen upper lip. I remembered waking up in the middle of the night biting on my lips coz it was itchy. So.... was unconsciously biting the itch away and could feel the swell but can't help it coz it was so so itchy and all i could do was bite instead of scratch scratch. So i woke up looking into the mirror with a lip which looks like i have been stung by a bee. Hmm...i don mind having thick lips like Angelina Jolie which are known to be sensual and attracts attention. But no way am i going to work with a "voluptuous" lip whick looks so not sensual....

I was trying so hard not to let S&S see my lips but can't hide away from them. So i puckered my lips and told them i got kissed by don-know-wat last night and now i have a voluptuous lip. S laughed at me and told me it's impossible that the mosquito kissed my lips coz it's thick. Then he came up with a comment that i didn't brush my teeth before i went to bed last night, that's why it was itchy and it swelled.

Moral of the story: Always brush your teeth before bed, if not you will wake up with a
"voluptuous" lip like mine.

Dear JJ,

This is for you. Thank you for being there for me through and through without fail when i needed a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Like what you have told me...a friend is like a tissue, aspirin and many more...lolz..And here it is, what i think of our friendship...

Having a friend like you is a blessing,
Ever so dear and loving,
Always considerate and forgiving,
Never will i trade us for anything

You have been my pillar of strength,
When my heart refuse to maintain the faith,
Which i have build throughout the month,
Your care and concern knows no length

You go out of your way,
To brighten my day,
We chat and talk and play,
Always end the day happy and gay

I thank you for being my dear friend,
Knowing that our friendship will never end,
My heart you deftly mend,
You are my blessed friend

~Hugs~

DD :p

Celby called. It was 12.09am. He said he don't have much credit left on his hp so ask me to quickly take my handphone dictionary and key down 4 dash 5683 dash 968. Blur!! 4-5683-968. Was wondering why is he giving me numbers? Bank account number? Maybe. But why? Then the call ended coz his credit finished. I just sat on the table and stare at the numbers. 5sec later Celby called again to confirm that i got the numbers right. I asked him what is this all about. He just ask me to key in these numbers into my hp dictionary and i will know what it is. Then he said goodnight and bye.

Took my hp and keyed in 4 space instead of dash then5 then6 then it hit me...i know what it means..heheh..LOL...he is soooooooooo sweet :P

Spent by weekend in JB again :P Last night, S, Sab & i had dinner at Hak Seng Restaurant. Sab & i had chicken chop while S had Fried beef kueh tiaw. And we tapao back yam-pumpkin-gingko dessert which is my favourite :) After dinner while walking towards the car, Sab looked up to the sky and said that it's half moon tonight. I looked up and suddenly remembered of a few mooney incident when i was young. So i asked her "Do you believe that if you point to the moon with your finger, the moon will creep up to you at night while you are sleeping and cut the back of your ears?". Then we got into the car and i told S about this mooney tale which sounds like a superstition but yet it happens. And S agreed that she experienced it before too. Point to the moon and you will wake up with a slit behind your ears bleeding.

I remembered when i was young, my cousin & i would always stand at the balcony at our old house late at night. And she would always remind me not to point to the moon. But the moon is so far away, so how can the moon come into my room at night to cut my ear? Just for the curiousity or more like deliberately disobeying my cousin, i would purposely point to the moon for a second then quickly pull my hand back. True enough, the next day i would wake up with a pain behind my ear and with a slit which cuts deep enough till it bleeds. Now that i think back, maybe i would try pointing to the moon again one of this night and find out whether i would experience the slit behind my ear again...hehehe...

A conversation till 3.30am with my bro's gf last week left me ponder about alot of things. We talked about every girly things and of course not to miss out all the lovey dovey relationship part :) My bro and her work together in the same environment. She told me there was once she wore a spaghetti strap top to work and my bro was unhappy about it. So he went around looking for a coat to cover her up..lol..hehehehe...Then there was this time when my bro just got his salary and he told her that there is no more $$ left in his bank account coz he spent it all. She was worried and went to check his account but found out what he told her was not true. She got angry and ask him why he lied to her. His answer was simple and cute "Cos i just want to see whether you still care for me or not". And she just smiled :) A test of love? How many times have we done that before. I guess all of us must have done that to our partner whether directly or indirectly but all for the same reason. To test whether our partner still cares and loves us or not. It's not that we are not aware of it deep down in our heart. Just that we want to hear it from the mouth of our love one and their act of concern and care is enough to keep us smiling the whole day knowing that we are loved and cared for. Remember? Actions speaks louder then words!

Aren't they adorable? How can you possibly abandon them?
Innocent and vulnerable. How can a person not fall in love with them??

They used to be my precious pups. 3 male and 1 female. These pictures were taken after their shower, fur blown dry & being place carefully in their lil soft bed to sleep...they smell soooooooooo nice...

Just can't help but smile at that one lil pup sleeping alone with four legs in the air looking so peaceful and she is the chubbiest among all. All were given away but one was given to my neighbour so i still get to see it everytime i return home. I was suppose to keep it and named him Hello. But my parents insist on giving it away so my neighbour took him in and named him Rocky. So whenever i reach home and call him Hello, he will response to it and to his other name Rocky whenever his owner call him :) Hehehe...cute eh?

Today is Singapore's National day. YAY!!!...Cos it's holiday which means i will be able to do my own stuff and i am in JB. I love to stay at SS place. I feel so much at home. Cosy is one word to describe the whole environment and the feeling of home sweet home. Woken up at 11.30am by a call from Aussie. A call which i no longer look forward to anymore and which spoils my mood.

Anyways, had 'longtong' for brunch then spend the next few hours listening to my mp3 while copying recipe from Sab's textbook...yum yum..Nasi Lemak, Banana Cake (my favourite), Gingerbread, Masala Vadai, Kuih Bingkar (Tapioca cake), Sponge biscuit, curry puffs, chicken pies, cream puffs, pancakes, Bread & Butter pudding, Cheese Straws (yummy!!), Cheesy Bakes Potatoes...Oooooo...i am drooling...i lurrrvvvv pastries :P It was a pretty hot hot afternoon. Sab & i decided to hit the gym at 3.30pm but i fall asleep before that and woke up at 4pm. Had one Hershey kiss and one banana before hitting the gym. Did treadmill, steps, dumbells, 50 sit ups and stretching. Before i am done, it was 5min to 5pm & we have to be back by 5pm cos we are going out at 5.30pm. Feeling satisfied after all those work out, i let my muscle relax by standing under a hot shower enjoying the hot water running down my hair and body. After that, i could feel my calories burning and my abs feeling warm...LOL and i was feeling a lil hungry. So i ate a piece of roti prata coz i know that we won't be having dinner so soon.

Drop by City Square to pick up Steve from work then head off to Hup Seng for dinner. Don't know where that place is...just somewhere in JB...:) Had roasted chicken, sweet & sour pork, japanese hot plate tofu....hhmm....delicious and not to miss out the best dessert of all : YAM paste with pumpkin and gingko biloba...I love love love it soooooo much....Went back home with a stomach looking like i am 4months pregnant LOL...hehehe.. ;p As if all that we had was not enough, halfway through a tv series, Mr.S suggested that all of us should have Cornetto. ANd so we did...I had Vanilla coz Strawberry was sold out :( Then Ron came back with assorted cakes from Seasons...Hahah...enough!! Those will be reserved for tomorrow's breakfast.

A short call from somewhere far away and a voice which i haven't heard for ages just ease me to sleep.........~Good night ~ :P

Had a big plate of strawberry ice cream with 3 huge strawberries on the side while watching tv last night. Oooooooooooo.....it was just lovely...*muakz*...the melting process in your mouth with a lil tingling sensation plus the lovely sweet strawberries just makes me feel like in heaven :P

My housemate came back at 1.20am. Before she reach the door, she called me and told me in a worried tone of voice that she have something to tell me and ask me to open the front door for her. We were suppose to go out to lim teh after she comes back. But i wasn't looking forward to going out even before she came back firstly cos i was tired and second cos i was enjoying my strawberries and tv series too much to leave my sofa. But her reason was spooky. She claim that she saw a lil boy sitting on a rocking horse playing away by himself at this hour below our block at the garden. There wasn't any adult around besides the lil boy and she didn't see his full feature accept for his shadow. I told her don't scare me coz it's not even Hungry Ghost Festival yet....Eewww...creepy...

I wore my brother's T-shirt to sleep last night...and found comfort in his oversize shirt which is way to big for me :) and i love it. Simple and comfy in just panty and T-shirt...LOL snuggling under my comforter while listening to Dream a little Dream of me sung by The Beautiful South just makes me doze off to dreamland.....And of course...a sweet lil message from someone who cares who look forward to calling me when i wake up in the morn...that is sweet =) Nitez...

Many times we have mentioned about the breach of trust when it comes to building relationship whether personal or casual. And we have talked about the high cost of lying and deception by politicians and police, corporate executives and clergy, and even journalists, accountants and educators has weakened every major social institution.

As each of these institutions wages its separate battle to remove the cloud of suspicion and cynicism that hovers over it, there are certain truths about trust that must be understood and dealt with.

First, there is no shortcut to building trust. In fact, rebuilding trust on the rubble of lost credibility is much harder. The antidote is nothing less than scrupulous and consistent honesty -- especially when the truth is costly.

Second, where trust is important, there are no little lies. In some ways lies, however small they seem, are like germs. Without the antibody of trust they cause infections that can kill credibility.

Third, the lethal quality of lies lasts long after the lie is told. And even lies told years ago have an immediate poisonous effect on trust when they are discovered. Think of all the prominent people who have been undone by the discovery of falsehoods on old resumes.

Fourth, while honesty and forthrightness don`t always seem to pay, dishonesty and concealment always cost. It`s true that in some settings nothing good may come of admitting wrongdoing, but it gets a lot worse when you don`t.

Fifth, lies breed other lies. It`s harder to tell just one lie than to have just one potato chip. Once you start lying, it takes an ever-growing bodyguard of new lies to protect the old ones.

Finally, don`t be seduced by the "fight fire with fire" excuse or all you`ll end up with is the ashes of your integrity. Self-justifications aside, you can`t lie to a liar or cheat a cheater without becoming a liar and a cheater.

This rules apply to each and everyone of us reminding us that trust is of utmost importance in building every relationship :)

Every organization I work with talks freely and frequently about the importance of trust as a crucial business asset. No one seems to doubt how important trust is to business or personal relationships, and everyone seems equally aware of the tremendous costs of distrust.
Yet despite enlightened rhetoric about trust, many people in business regularly engage in conduct that undermines trust and damages credibility.

It`s really quite simple: To be trusted one has to be perceived as being trustworthy. That means being scrupulously honest even on little things, and especially when one may have to pay a high price. Trustworthiness is a lot more than telling the literal truth. It requires conveying the truth. Deception through clever wording or half-truths is essentially dishonest.

Individuals and companies that really care about building and retaining trust don`t rely on legalistic loopholes or take refuge in the idea that "you never asked." People worthy of our trust are forthright and candid as well as truthful. They tell us what they know we want to know, even if it`s not in their self-interest. Thus, being trustworthy involves a complex trio of concepts: truthfulness, nondeception and candor, all aspects of honesty.

But it also requires integrity, promise-keeping and loyalty. We trust people who put principles above profit and who have the courage of their convictions. We don`t trust those who look for and find exceptions and special circumstances justifying dishonesty.

Trust isn`t attained by wishing and wanting. It must be earned by actions. And even after it`s been earned, it must be continually protected. Remember, even a little lie can raise the question: "What else have you lied to me about?"

This reminds each and everyone of us that character counts.
