Fairytale

someone asked me...why do I always like to do cantoons to represent my image?
i thought for a while abt this qn...and i think it is bcos
i wanted very much to believe in fairytalein fairytale...the characters are all so clearly depicted.
i am able to tell a good guy from a bad...there is a happily ever after story
it is so different in reality...
maybe i just want to escape from the cruelty of life...

think about this...in reality...does anyone has this word "i'm bad" written on the forehead...no way...there are pple who look so sweet on the outside but are so evil inside...pple who can pretend so well...that u don't even know it when u r conned...

there is a saying that the eyes are the windows to a person's heart...it is possible to see a person's true self through the eyes...although i don't dispute that but i think it will be too late by then...bcos a lot of close contacts are required to be able to see thru the eyes...

No more chocolate for me

i am banning chocolate from my life
why?
i used to be able to eat a whole box of chocolate without any side effect
but recently....things are different
I just need to eat a small little bar...and sob sob...i will get sore throat and pimples will be popping out by mad...
can you believed it! at this age...i can still be getting pimples...

now i wonder how long can i last ^_^

Appreciation

in life...we have to learn to appreciate the little things that happened all the time in our daily routine...
never to compare with the jones...bcos as human beings...once again we will only pick the better things others have to compare...and we will always appear so worse off...rem...the grass is always greener on the other side...and also bcos pple will always present the best for others to see...you will not get to see the 'dirty linen'...of course unless there is a strategy to showcase it purposely...

so to me...appreciation comes in (for example)

1) have a smooth ride in the morning to work (read: beating all the traffic lights...haha)
2) hearing a nice song with a lyric that so reflect my current mood
3) when i catch a nice sunset on the way home from work
4) when i chanced upon a nice blooming flower
5) when that special someone initiated a morning *muack* for me... (read: still searching/hoping/waiting)
etc etc etc

Attitude

Be it toward work or personal life...i always believe that one shd not working solely for financial purposes

I believe:

1) If you wake up in the morning loathing to go to work...i personally think it is time to relook into your choice of work. It could be the pple at work, not work per se...
2) work as hobby and hobby as work
3) look for that something that u luv to do so much that u'll do it even for free
4) if you work solely for financial purpose, you will not last long...you'll end up like a walking zombie...not knowing how to appreciate the happiness of your life...

see...even writing a short blog entry can be so beautiful ^_^
remember...the word is passion

what trigger this topic about attitude?

I'm suppose to receive 2 couriers from China containing important original document. One arrived and the other did not. However, my counterpart in China checked and the courier company in S'pore insisted that it was delivered to someone somewhere in the office. The gist is that we finally discovered that the parcel is missing-in-action and the courier company has no idea where is it...however...still pushing the blame to the receiving party...to me...this is attitude problem...even when i clearly stated that only one of the parcel was received, they can turn around and tell the china side that i did receive...i'm ashamed of such pple...

Why is Coke Zero still so sweet?
