Sorry peeps...I have been super busy with workshop all last week....

Reports were due, my boss is in JPN and my I had a meeting on Monday with my ex-boss/future boss frm Brisbane.....

I also have to prepare my audits in China.....and Christmas trip to follow after.....

The straightforward question, "Where will this relationship head to?" resulted in a honest confession of our relationship and where we both were. Seeing the way he was around me all the time, I knew instinctively that he harbored genuine feelings for me.

That day I was totally an emotional wreck. Using my "clouded judgement" as a crutch, I bravely (perhaps foolishly) texted him back (his prior text messages were irrelevant to the subject I was about to bring up) with the question. With his long-winded reply, I could sense his excitement mixed with anxiousness. I know, I know, I probably shouldn't have handled it the way I did it. Call me a wimp with no balls. However I was confident of what he would say and I had to say to him as well. Eventually we had a two-hour long conversation over the phone.

I love talking to him over the phone. I love receiving his short loving text messages. We do have good chemistry.

After saying my part and having our relationship where it was sans honest confrontation, the message of "love isn't always butterflies and excitement" is true....but if we do love each other and committed to one another, we can overcome...............

The recent financial turmoil has scared even the layman investor. It's unnerving to know how much power is concentrated in the hands of so few, and how news hit home so fast. Granted it's been a long time coming, but i think no one was really prepared for the gravity of it.....

Pictures paint a thousand words....Hurricane Ike..Sept 11 - 14, 2008:

There are times when I just want to shut down and refuse to speak to anyone. It has nothing to do with depression or sorrow. It has nothing to do with stress or personal issues. It's just that, I like being by myself.I grew up pretty much alone throughout my life, even though I have a loving family. I have grown to enjoy reading a book on a bus, gazing into nothingness and think about things that didn't matter. I love the time I spend with myself, with nature, with the cold air or the hot breeze, the sunny afternoon or the starry night. It has been a delight.

I enjoy my time alone, with myself, with my book, with my thoughts. And sometimes, I spend my Saturday evening over a glass of wine and some good music and let my mind brings me somewhere else.
I realize that often time by being quiet and all alone, I find myself. I find peace and I find answers to the many things in life. Think through things I don't usually think about when I'm out and about meeting new friends and having exciting conversations.

But out of everything, the foremost, I enjoy spending time alone with my FATHER….becz I know for sure that I am alone but never, never, never lonely…. :))))))))

I am still in recovery....and I've learned that during the time of need and my weakest moment who are my true, true friends.....

Those who are there for me, keep me company knowing that the doctor has not allowing me to drive just yet. Those who call me just to be sure I am okay and not die of starvation....and those who willingly cook and help me keep the house clean....etc....

I know I am blessed to have you: M, C, L, S, D, A, J, H, T.......I love you guys.

Thank you Lord for your blessings....as I continue to heal and resume my daily activities, slowly but surely.....YOU are an awesome GOD!!!

Enough of the election already....the media and the candidates who care only about their own interests NOT the people...

You don’t have to be perfect, to be perfect for me

Love has such a great way of growing.....................

Block of thoughts
I m resting after my surgery.....there are dreams I wish to achieve and it's what keeps me going. I know where I stand and who I'm living for. Who I am trying to please and what I want to prove. Sometimes my life may seem bleak and stressful, but I remember that when I put Him first, everything else will fall into place. I carry my future and all my aspirations in this life in the back of my mind. I'm so blessed to have the friends I have. I would also do anything for them. Looking back through the years, I know I didn't have what most kids in my circle had. Probably even less than the majority, not because they couldn't give it to me, but because they refused to give it to me. I made do with anything, and learnt to live in contentment with the minimalist. I've been to places, cities and seen parts of the world but I still come back to the same place and I've been in all sorts of positions and know the highs and lows. So far, things haven't changed much, but sometime next year I know I won't be here.......I know in His hands my life is full of joy.

I have a prayer ready for my op....on the 22nd.....

Prayer Before Surgery
Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed, I may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around me. Through Jesus Christ. Amen. Into your hands, I commend my body and my soul. Amen.

In the midst of busy training week and exam preparation tomorrow...this cute-Frenchie guy uses his time to flirt w/ moi.... ;) ;)

BUSY training week!!!!

Love will abide, and take things in stride.

One may say I do not have a romantic bone in my body, but then again, love goes beyond flowers, kisses and even embraces. Flowers may wilt, the tingling sense u get during a kiss may fade after awhile. Even hugs lost it's warmth after some time. To me, love it's best portrayed in the mundane daily activities that we do to make our loved ones happy......

I LOVE U......

HECTIC as usual...my kewl boss is now on his new assignment in Brisbane...when Nov comes and marks my 1 yr anniversary...I would move to my new position :)))))) in Brisbane......

Summer represents for me:
All things bright and cheerful,
Shopping spree - store-hopping
Eating gelati by the roadside,
Al fresco dining
Padding around the house barefoot,
Going to the beach with my friends/my love,
Glowing in a healthy tan,
Sipping strawberry daiquiris,
Lazy afternoon naps on the weekends,
Endless swimming
Receiving summer flowers from my HUN,
Short skirts and colourful shoes,
Blue skies and vivid sunsets,
Waking to the sound of birds
The smell of freshly cut lawn, and
Happy moments with loved ones

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perfect description of a Christian...no one has ever put it so eloquently before...no one could say it better than her…Maya Angelou

I AM A CHRISTIAN

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say.. "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
to I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow

That's what love is all about isn’t it? Appreciating the little things you do for each other. I am blogging about all these not because I want to brag about my situation or cause people who are out of love to feel worse. My intentions are precisely the opposite of that. I want all of you out there, those attached, to open your eyes to see the little things, appreciate what your partner does for you everyday and not take them for granted, that way, maybe you can see clearer, the love you have for each other. For those out of love, never worry, there WILL be someone out there for everyone of us. There will be a right place and a right time for the right thing to happen.

I thought I would be single and enjoying it for a few more months or years, but it seems like someone up there has other (hopefully better) plans for me. I never expected anything in the romance department to happen so soon...bcz I was absolutely happy w/ my life then....

Yes, I'm in love...

People might say these are the sweet beginnings of a new love. I beg to differ. I really appreciate the feeling of being protected, loved and being treated with such respect and kindness. Best of all, the one thing that completes the whole sweet deal, is, he treats my friends with the utmost respect without trying too hard to impress and forcing meaningless conversations on them. Example, my galpal: C celebrated her birthday on Sat, he decided to go with me even though he didn’t know anyone.

I love the way he loves me. It just feels so.. right. Kindness is something that comes to him naturally I would say.....anyway, enough said...I am just a happy gal.

4th of July....crab and crawfish boiled....yummy....nice place, cool ppl to hang out and splendid swimming pool...........

The only constant thing in life is change. Listening to this song just makes me feel emotional about everything - life, work, friends, childhood, dreams. I have friends who are in their 20s, 30s, approaching 40 and it all seems so fast for them. The years literally fly by. Change is often good I know, but sometimes I just want everything to stay the same.....
