Ok pass with merit but can work harder.Next is my studies..Hmm...another year gone and still deciding to study or not..Indecisive..Failed! To debit forward and decide seriously and decide asap. Next is Family, hmm..so so. Still good and happy but also bitter sweet. Being helping the family in the coordination, doing the errands, running the extras role with no appreciation. While the rest of the brothers just use money or mouth to talk. No choice as me and derick dun have any money so we can only contribute thru strength which is our forte and also our weakness as we dont know how to say no...Sad..Ok marginally passed. To go for tuition to improve how to say NO. But is so hard to say no..that is why derick and me is special in a way, right?Next is job, great best working place so far..Best boss in the world, best collegues team in the world (among those that i come across la)..Will continue to strive and give my best. Ok pass.

Next dream to achieve License of Class 2B...still unvisible at all. Will have to put in more effort and action. Ok..fail. To debit to next year.

Is it true that one must be born in the right timing to have everything smooth running in life?

Recently, have sort of decided to take up the degree course but faced many obstacles. Was discussing with hubby and was reflecting how me and hubby had came a long long way to what we are now. Lots of time and money wasted to get to our positions. Others would need to go straight and stay firmed at a position while we turned here and there hoping to get to the position faster...Suddenly I remember what Hee Jug said: Sometime in life we need to slow down to go faster" Why does the both of us have to go through 10 lessons to learn while others learn it in 1 lesson?

No i cannot be complacent. At least i learn right! At least i have experience and right attitude that's how it created and crafted our attitude now! YES!!! Janice that is the way to think...Don't waste your brain cell think of things that are negative...Use the same strength and think positively.

THINK POSITIVE..Don't complain of what had happen to you but think of what you can do to learn, reflect and grow.

Breathe in, breathe out, relax...Focus!!!!!

Mini getaway at Kusu Island

Time really flies...Just last monday, i took my off-in-lieu and visited the "kusu" island. But it seems just yesterday. Its a yearly activities that we try to make an effort to. Praying was an reason but getting away from the hustle of the city life and not costing a bomb is the only way we can do.

As i always believer strongly and still trying to "brainwash" my hubby that couple must always try to do things together after marriage. AS city bustler, we tend to forget our loved ones in the midst of trying to survive for living. But life is definitely more than slogging for your work, right? Love also must play a strong part. As the saying goes, when one is loved, all things fall naturally in together..

"Whenever there is a problem, there's always a solution in a matter of time!

My dearest office advisory, Sister Poh gave me this good gold solid advice: "Whenever there is a problem, there's always a solution in a matter of time! If its not now, it will be automatically solved later"

What a strong truth fact and advise..Eversince she join us in GPO, my life has improved through her golden advice and strong experiences in the healthcare industry. She is basically a walking directory of the Health Industry. Anything under the sun related to hospital, she can tell you her story and share with you all her experiences..Might us...40YEAR...Her whole life dedicated to Singapore Healthcare...Guess nowadays, there wouldnt be anymore of such cases. Nowadays youngster will just change job as long as they are not happy with the enviroment and pay...

As for me, I will look upon her as my next idol after HJ. Staying and surviving in a political place for 40YEARS...Using her golden advice "Whenever there is a problem, there's always a solution in a matter of time! If its not now, it will be automatically solved later" will help me to survive...Jia You

Power of Dream by Celion Dion

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strenght of just "I can"
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You’ll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Germs everywhere in the air

Political everywhere..to help us grow and learn?!!!

How does one find a place to work or survive without the "political" presence?

Human being is such a complicated animal. On that thought, all animals are complicated but human being seems to be the worse. Could it be due to civilisation that one has to be cunning in order to survive? Why does it have to be cunning? why not be kind and compassionate? In Confucian ethics, all human beings are born with a heart of kindness but blinded by this "civilisation and materialistic" world. Sad isnt it?

How nice if this world is filled with love, kindness and compassionate! There would be no war, no jealousy, no hatred, no anger, no quarrel, no misunderstanding and the list goes on....

I is the word to begin with..Yes i should begin to be loving , kind and show compassion even to those who try to hurt me...But will it be "kill" before then?

Hm......

Music that brings back memories

Not sure if one does believe that music is not only for leisure but also serves more than one purpose...It can heal ones sadness, bring us back to those old days, keep us as companion when one felt lonely and low, brighten our day especially when one is listening to our favourite song or music.

Yesterday, dear and me found so many nice wonderful song...All the way from small kids to our growing stage in our teens, our first love, our elder siblings favourite tunes, his army days songs and the list goes on....

Its always good to bring back memories...be it sad or sweet. For it acts as a reflection and also memories to hold on. Especially if that song was shared with one that is no longer around. It all felt as if it was just yesterday.

"One can forget the first impression but one never forget its first taste and feeling" This was quoted by some famous writer whom i forget where i read from (Sorry..hahaha)

Maybe i can start collating and listen to it when we are old. Hope more good music are shared and created for better future..

Bitter Sweet feeling today

Its an bitter sweet feeling today.

Wonderful Hot Sunday, a day after the festive of lights. Had a game of badminton with hubby at our house downstairs court. Felt like living in a condo...HAahahaa..But it was a definte feeling of life being improved! Comparing to those days where my and hubby are delivering newspaper when we were setting up our own courier and transport business and making ends meets daily, sharing a bowl of "Ban Mian"?!!!

Life is really full of ups and downs...Before one can realised we have grown up we have to cold hard accept that we have grown old...Sad!!! But because of life challenges, one grow and excel, learn to grab and let go at the right time, when to love and leave and of course appreciating the wonderful things in life...

However, there are some people whom just like to make use of others and get their way up...Hope they will not learn the hard way when they fell...

Only with our own capabilities and right attitude is then the right way to life, irregardless of religion...

For the beautiful earth and mother nature will still grow as it is supposed to be..

How Can someone's Laughter bring me close to tears

Got a referral from a colleague to watch this short film. Real sad...From today onwards, I shall eat what I can not eat what I wish. I shall pray for the less fortunate people and be more appreciative.

A good old friend got married today

A good old primary sch close friend got married today. The feeling was as if a younger sister getting married. Being through all her sorrows, unhappiness, precious moments and growing up together and come the day she is finally settling down to be a wife, a mother, a daughter-in-law. Very happy for her that she has found someone not only is he handsome but caring and sweet to her. And of cos tall enough for her..hee...

Jiali, though I had always teased you with your old days in our Parry Primary School where you used to wear your socks unbalanced, I just wanna to tell you: "Congrats, thanks for inviting us to the precious moment on your big day. Please take care and dunt worry and let god plan for you. God has its will, ok? Take Care"

Human Beings the biggest enemy to themselves

The world 1is now on a serious and unknown virus whom is so small yet killing silently - H1N1 flu

Unlike the SARS, it only happen in ASEAN. This time is globally. Everyone be it the black or white fighting on the same frontline against this mysterious virus. Everywhere is a scene of shortage of supplies as most of the items come from US where it all begins. Everyone are fighting the same war yet selfishingly taking care of their own supplies first.

In the Healthcare industry, everyone especially the MMD people are now the heros whom fight the war everyday on their most top alert mode. However, in the public, everyone seems to be unaware of what is going on.

First time for me as a new comer to the Healthcare industry on such crisis. We are now in the orange alert yet preparing like in the red alert. Everybody are so tense and solemn at work. Poor patients whom are sick in hospital are even more lonely as visitors are limited now. Poor Pigs in Isarel are being killed to prevent virus from spreading.

We just got to pray real hard that all shall come fast and be gone fast...

Moody day

It has been a while since I last blog..finally something happen today that brings me to write down my moody feeling now..

Life is so short and unpredictable. Most of the time, we would always say : "If time can turn back, we will definitely do this do that.."But do we really wish to know what is going to happen tomorrow, the day after, next week etc? Guess it would be very scary and heart worrying..However, at this point of time guess the only thing we can do is only to do the best we can, loving those ard us more, appreciating the world ard us more..Only then when things dun turn out our way that we prayed for...we can only put our trust to whichever god that we believe in for the best arrangement..

The person who had told me something today, pls do take care of yourself..I will miss making coffee for you..Hope you will find the comfort zone in whatever decision you had made..Take Care!
