#Sharing: Do it Anyway

It's July!! 6 more months to go until 2012. Are you still moving towards the direction which you had set in your 2011 new year resolution? Perhaps :)

Well, I saw one of my friend sharing this on facebook... which kind of encouraging me in this season of life. It's written by Mother Teresa (obviously we're sharing the same name), and I shall share it here as we start the second half of 2011. 

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; 

Forgive them anyway. 

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; 

Be Kind anyway. 

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; 

Succeed anyway. 

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; 

Be honest and frank anyway. 

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; 

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; 

Be happy anyway. 

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; 

Do good anyway. 

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; 

Give the world the best you've got anyway. 

You see, in the final analysis. it is between you and God; 

It is never between you and them anyway. 

May the second half of 2011 even greater for you. 

Share love . Share Joy

Thank you, friends!

I'm always thankful for having great bunch of awesome friends who never fail to cheer me up when I'm down and encourage me when I'm koyakz. I know I've been saying this all the time, but I still want to acknowledge all the awesome people around me.

Friendship and relationship is the one which money can't measure because everything comes from the heart. It's whether you choose to invest in the relationship or not. Investing time, shows sincerity, listen, and communicate to build that relationship. For those people who know me, they know I talk a lot... and we are easy to get along cause we are sharing our life together. Of course not non-stop talking, there should be time of listening too :) Some of my friends suggested me to be a newscaster, cause they got attracted when I share stories :P  *Oopsie* :S

Friendship can't be "earned". Backstabbing will only reveal your true character and scaring people away. Why don't we use "heart" and "communication" to maintain the relationship?

I want to spend this blog to thank all my wonderful friends who are always there to support me. You really mean a lot a lot and a lot to me! 

Though we are different,

 thanks for accepting me for just who I am....

I'm so blessed ... 

Celebrate Father's Day?

June... It's Fathers' Day! You know, it's a little bit strange for me to write about Father's Day. I can't remember when is the last time I celebrated Father's day... or did I ever do so? I can only remember I did celebrate mother's day, simply because my dad has never been around, and now, he will never be around anymore.

Asian, being a very conservative and reserved community causes us seldom express our love to our love ones. I believe 'Father' is the one who 'fitted' this category so well. They often act serious and always show their very 'manly-face' and 'manly-voice' showing that everything is under his control. Somewhere inside their heart, it must be the love that he has for the family that moves him forward to work for a better future, especially for the children. When things go wrongly, 'scold' will always be the way they express care and concern.... and these are simply my thoughts ;)

The memory that I had with my daddy is very limited, yet I'm still a daddy-girl... yes, a very manja one :P I remember we'll have family supper every Thursday, and the happy meal toys collection are all from the dad who brought me to McDonald's every week ;) and until now I'm still a McDonald's fan *M* When I pretend I'm sick and wanted to skip tuition class, daddy is the one who will save me and Mummy is the one who always nag me :P ... Check the picture below, this is what we used to do too :D

Parents maybe naggy and irritating sometimes, but things that they did is purely because of love. When you can remember your friend's birthday but not your parents, you know something is wrong... Isn't?

Show your dad some L O V E this Father's Day!

Happy Fathers' Day!

Tr!p to Merlion City

I know this is a little bit late @.@ A busy life is a progressing life :P *finding excuses*

The last time I visited Singapore was 3 years back attending a Conference in Singapore Expo, and after 3 years, I'm back to Singapore Expo again for a trade fair. Yup! I visited Singapore again with the boss :P It is a business trip with a site visit assignment. Hence, I got a chance to visit few attractions in Singapore which include Universal Studio, The Annexe Science Centre, Singapore Underwater World, Vivo City and the famous Orchard road. In short, a beautiful city!

Singapore is definitely a worth-visit city with nice view and nice food. Though it is only a 3 days 2 night short trip, with working during the day time, I'm still able to visit Singapore from north to south and east to west. The transportation is so convenient which you really do not have to worry about anything. Unless, you don't have $$ with you. That's another story :P

I wouldn't mind going again especially when the Sales is on. Heard from my boss saying that Singapore Sales is a REAL sales!! *ahem*ahem* Well, it's just another experience gained!

Life gets better if we hold on to a positive attitude because...

-- Attitude determine Altitude --

I Love My Mum

Happy Mothers' Day to all the wonderful mummy out there! Thank you for your unending love and patient throughout the years <3 

I'm blessed to have an awesome and supermum who brought me to who I am today. As time passed by, the wrinkles on her face, grey hairs had significantly mark the aging signs...

My mum is a superwoman. She always wanted to give her best to both me and my brother, and one thing that she always wanted us to do is to study, and be well-educated. My mum was once a top-scorer but she discontinue her studies because the family couldn't afford, and she knows how important it is to be educated. She always said this, 

"You study for your own good. It's not for me." 

Yet, she will never stress us or compare us with other children. My result was so-so during primary and secondary school. After SPM, I decided not to study anymore but chose to work, and the reason I gave is not to leave my hometown. With our family financial restriction, I'm fearful and so reluctant to make that decision. My mum was so upset during that period of time until I decided to go for Diploma course even she can hardly afford.

I have to thank my mum for forcing me to further my studies, (I know I'm silly) and I did so well in my Diploma studies by achieving the highest CGPA in my course and awarded as Book Prize Winner. I still remember her smile during my convo day, and how she proudly introduce me to her friend saying that, "This is my daughter!"

With my results, I was also offered 100% Scholarship to further my studies, and I continued. After two years, I graduated and stepped into the marketplace. I believe my mum felt so relieved that finally her beloved child grew up and graduated.

My mum never restricted me in making any decision and she gave me 100% freedom to do things that I like. Knowing that I must learn to be independent and be responsible. In times of failure, she will still support me and her understanding is just beyond description.

I'm thankful for such a SUPER-mum who brought me up to where I am today. 

I'm blessed... I'm loved...

and... I have to say:

"Mummy, I love you!"
