Christmas time

Work Work work! That's all I have done since I got admitted and came back from Perth. Oh, I have also almost gotten a matter struck out, forgotten deadlines, irritated my boss some, and had sleepless nights when the appeal was going on.


Christmas time this year is hurried. Work work work has consumed my time again. Even I sound boring. But sometimes work is an island. A wall I can build around myself to escape reality. Where you escape from having those meaningless arguments with your parents, when you allow life to get complicated beyond your control and then it hurts..you can always bury yourself in work, til you're numb to everything else. Its great you know, to have this haven of escape.

I have new year resolutions: -

1. To keep the friends I have and to nurture the friendships that I have
2. To be dilligent and not procrastinate
3. To balance work with other things e.g. church, social life and family life
4. To be satisfied with whatever life gives me, but motivated to achieve the best

Blog posts are closed til 2010. Merry Christmas, and go bury your nose in someone else's blog.

Random Email forwards

This is an example of an annoying email forward I get from friends who are La-Las.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A must read!!
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stoneand scratch ed lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions......sitting in front of that car he lookedat the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life..... Things are to be used and people are to be loved, But the problem in today's world is that, People are used and thing s are loved... During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ... Be yourself.....This is the only day we HAVE. Have a nice day
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day!
If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do, you will have ministered to someone. The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you... Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL

Its so mind blowingly stupid. Even TV3's Scenario wouldn't indulge this.

• losing fingers from mere fractures?
• hitting a person without realising the weapon u're using?
• the child can spell. wow

I hope the La-La who forwarded me this sms loses all her contacts.. as well as my email address.

Completion of the chambering phase

WoW! 2 more weeks to go before I complete the "licence to be stupid" phase. Time passed by SO fast. Amazing. Here I was counting the days numbering in the 100s, and now, its merely a fortnight away.

I think chambering was a blast. I had a cool gang. It was the 4 of us, against the world. It was like re-enacting Grey's Anatomy. Only in real life, in Damansara Heights. Our group dynamics was awesome. One drove like a bat out of hell, and I loved her the most. Another tried to boost my asthma and was afraid of the dark. And boy, was she tall! The 3rd one was initially a jungle insect with a non-existent social life. It was him and his shell. Everytime, he'd just jut his neck out, play peek-a-boo, and crawl back under his shell. He's improved by leaps and bounds. He is brave enough to walk into an LA's room and put on some Burberry lotion (expensive feminine hand lotion) and walk around the office smelling distinctively of that LA.

I also met my twin, who shares my birthday. We are very alike. Both quiet and shy. I met a host of other wacky people.. someone who went down to the court canteen and flirts with the nasi lemak stall seller. Then tells me to get a band in church to write a song titled "Nasi Lemak Sex, Sambal vagina". How much more random can u get?? Haha..

If there was anything about chambering I could ever change... it'd be the work I did. I wish I had more exposure to IT. I loved doing the piece on "risks associated with data migration".

And lastly but not least, I love u Birdshit. I was planning to trade u in, but I think I'll keep u a little longer. Though I don't knw why u sound so loud now. Pa says u sound like u're running on diesel...

Bankrupt

My first hearing today and I bankrupted a judgement debtor. Someone has no legal identity for the next couple of years. I feel bad. I brought someone else's bright future to a major halt. Should I blame her to not planning her finances better?

Am I any better? I sometimes go splurging in Midv on my Rm1.8k chambee pay. Then I drive slow to get thru the week on only 3 bars of petrol.

I have six months of employment in Damansara Heights. I wonder where I will be in the next half of the year. Somewhere closer to home?

Phang has joined Fitness First at KLCC, but is dismayed to realise that only plump girls turn up at the gym.

Esther is determined to go swimming with Clauds this Thurs
