Natural Disasters

in my course of work, I have been to Chengdu at least 20 times
i have also the opportunity to go dujiangyan, jiuzhaigou, panda nature reserve etc
these are all so close to the epi-centre, wolong panda nature reserve is only 30km away...
i sadden me to see such a bad earthquake to hit this part of the country which is so close to my heart
i thank God for the blessings i have
appreciaion for all the blessings we have here
my heart goes out to those people in Sichuan province
and to those who are badly hit / affected by this natural disaster
God Bless

my idea of an ideal holiday

to wake up to see sunrise if i want....
to zzzz in & not worry about schedule....
to follow the mood of the weather....to fit my schedule
to stretch & hv the wind blowing in my face....

what is beautiful to you.....

to me it is when you get to see falling leaves with sunlight as the backdrop on your way home from work in the evening....

i love my country...but am getting frustrated...

anyone can provide the statistics on the # of cars on the road at any one time vs public buses?

in normal 3 lanes road, one is delicated to buses....it is called the BUS LANE....you get a fine if u drive on that lane....but at any one time....the other 2 lanes are jam pack with cars for at least 5km while there is not a single bus in sight....

is it an efficient use of resources????

i know the agrument is to encourage pple to give up cars and take public transport...but aren't u (the policy maker...yes you....i'm talking to u) a car-driver too....will u give up your car.....if u can't, why expect others?

well....my agrument is....we work hard...we use our intelligent, our time, our energy.....all our resources to achieve whatever we have to be driving on the road...in our own car.....compared to pple who choose to take the public transport....

experience or knowledge

i am curious....do most people think experience is more impt or knowledge is more important...
of course the best is both....but then it is not easy to 'have the cake and eat it'
i am more slanted towards experience as experience really helps to avoid mistakes while if without experience, the next best is to gather as much knowledge as possible....
but certain things do not allowed for experience....it is like once in a lifetime...
haiya....this topic is getting too heavy....

that's me...

You like to give people advice, dear Libra, and help them find direction in your lives... (Sometimes when they haven't even asked). But now, it's your turn to feel a little lost. You may need to get away from it all to get some perspective on your life. What about taking a trip to some faraway land? Today is a good day to make your vacation plans.

what is this life?

i have been questioning my existence
so can i do to be more meaningful
to contribute to to this world...
instead of living a mundane existence...
come and go without a trace...

don't get me wrong....i don't want to be a hero
and don't want to be someone with a big name...
i just want to make a difference to everything and everyone i meet in my life
even a slight one....make a better difference

in fact...that's why i am staying on in my job...
thou many many people including my colleagues told me to seek for greener pasture (better compensation)
but to me....money is not everything.....although financial independent is :-)

Leave margin in life….

Don’t rush from appointment to appointment, leave time gap in between to catch your breath…

i think this entry serves to remind myself more than you who are reading...

no more

after spending much time shifting and moving my things
i have decided that i will not buy any more shoes, clothes and bags for this year...
luckily there is only one more month to go...till the end of the year...
else I wonder how i survive without shopping....cant blame me....i am a woman!

but on a serious note, i desperately need to look for something that can nourish my heart...
not shopping...not endless buying....yes....it is called shopping therapy....but it only heals temporary...
it is not healthy for long term....so now....my objective is to list down the things to do that can make me heart...i think one of them must be making others happy

hmmm

what to say....many things are happening...

and i don't know where to start

but generally my heart is not happy...

why....and i don't know why....

or do i know why...but don't want to share?

i m not sure what i am living for....

life seems so meaningless....

i am like a walking zoombie...

but then i find this entry so depressing that i think i should stop now....

shooting star

today marks a special day.
i just saw a meteor on the way home a while ago....at around 8:45pm
it is a green bright meteor....what a wonderful sight....*grin
my first time ;)

fairytale

what is fairytale to me?

I was told i am too idealistic

princess with charming prince, lovingly lived happily ever after

eternity love & no no to pre-marital sex

my selfish list

additional item

am i getting too much? lols

call me selfish

but there are something that i don't like to share
1) driving seat....why? bcos i just don't like changing the seat positioning...
i may sounded very weird...but i just don't like....
2) my pc....that's it is call personal...don't u think so?

Accident prone

Sigh....this is the nail that got into my foot on Sunday

Slight more than a year ago, I sprained my ankle on this exact spot...at the bottom of the stair....and yesterday I got this rusty tiny little nail into my right foot at the top of the stair. The pain is slightly bearable compared to the sprained ankle, but the implication is unknown....

In the end, I got to get a jab on my arm, antibiotics 5 days course, anti-swelling medication and cream based on doc's advise.

What luck am i going thru'.....after harddisk and memory cards reader episode....pray for good luck....

high maintainence

work has not been going smoothly for me
it may be coined as a happy problem 'demand exceeded supply many times'
and without warning...so we are unable to supply based on our earlier marketing effort
but i faced the customers daily
their unhappiness, unable to comprehend....bcos i can't tell them we can't support the demand...
being in marketing...i have to put it in a very 'quality' way....
but it is like putting my reputation at stake...
being me....i just don't like that feeling
i was the one marketing to them...telling them the information
now with changes internally....i have to change my statement...
the feeling isn't great...bcos i m a lousy liar...

and then i have been feeling this pain in my knee...there is no significant sign of bruises on the knee...
but i felt sharp pain when i walk or take the stair....
and i can't bend my knee....i juz don't know what is happening in my life...

so i took half a off from work today after getting a earful from the customers this morning
i decided to chop off my reasonably long hair....
and while doing my hair...decide to pamper myself and go for pedicure
it is my first time and the feeling was great...
the only imperfection is that i couldn't choose a bright red nail paint
bcos i totally forgot...until the pedicure lady reminded me that i have a broken toenail (outcome of my trip to kathmandu)
it is a pity that my digital camera is not working
else i would take some nice pretty toes to show off :-p

if u were to ask me "are you a high maintainence person today?"
i will surely tell you "yes, i am" :)
at least for that moment....it is like....why am i working so hard....if i don't pamper myself...

so sad

it is such a sad day for me....
i broke my digital camera today
sob sob....
no picture from now on until i get my new camera
it was already half gone....and i was trying to take a picture when the len refused to return to off position
while trying to replace the battery
i dropped the camera again
this time, the len is broken and could take any more picture
and it can't retract back to off position
look like i really messed it up....so sad....

tv

a friend of mine who is in the hotel business
was very surprised when he learnt that i do not switch on tv in the hotel room
wherever i stayed....
again i 'm the adnormal customer...
i even hate it when the tv automatically turn on whenever i slot in the room key....
I told him i didn't like it....first thing i do is to go and turn it off....
am i a freak?

i'm a freak

& a complete freak for that matter
i don't know....i just don't act according to pple expectation
i like to do things out of ordinary....
and get on majority of the pple nerve
so since i don't live up to the majority expectation - norm behavior...
i myself decided i'm a freak instead of labelling the others as freak
