NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME:
Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thoughts, why bother pronouncing those French brands like Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly.
I think it sounds better,when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot".When I was in school, Milo was always 'Mee Lo', now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo".
So don't be embarassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".

My little finger is hurt

Ouch..I hurt my little finger last Friday while exercising using the 2kg dumb bell..I was carrying the dumb bell on each hand (weighted 2 kg each) and as usual, was stretching my arms..but, small accident happened, I accidentally stretched too hard and "bang", hurt my little finger on the left hand..wow...it was painful!!!

And within 1 minutes, the finger turned blue black, and was swollen..I think the blood clot inside the finger nail, but luckily, my finger nail wasnt affected, at least, still in one good piece..phew..

The next day, I wanted to go and see panel doctor, to get some cream to apply, at least to lessen the pain and the swollen..but doctor was out for lunch..darn..so never mind, I decided to ask dad to apply some Chinese medication and do a bit of massage on my finger, :)

Then, dad told me that nothing much he could do, just have to leave it for few days and the finger would get better by itself..oh in that case, no choice but to wait..

Praise God, today the finger had slight improvement, at least it was less painful..

As I was blogging on this, felt like I am like a 3 years old kis, such a small matter, but treated it as if it was a major injury and being exaggerated about it..haha

改变你的爱情观~(转)

单身，有时不一定是贵族。
单身也许会比较自由，
但自由也有一个同义词，叫作寂寞。
因为人不是什麽时候都喜欢一个人独处的；
有时好东西需要跟人分享，
有时候难过需要人安慰。
单身贵族产生的原因，是因为
经济上的独立、人格上的独立以及感情上的独立。
独立是什麽？
独立是需要而不依赖，
一个独立的人需要异性，而不依赖异性。

做情人之前，她应该先是朋友。
她成为你的朋友之後，出现在你的生活里，
才有可能认识你、了解你、知道你的长处
而对你产生好感，进一步发展感情，
变成情人、对象。
世界上的颜色并非只有白色和黑色，
黑与白之间还有很漫长的灰色地带。
只要多相处，便能发现对方的优点、产生好感，
这才是发展感情的自然过程。

『一见锺情』以及『从一而终』的感情是不切实际的，
我们需要的不是这种不切实际而虚幻的感情。
有人形容跟异性交往，
就好像在海边捡石头，大家都会捡喜欢的那一颗。
一旦捡到一颗你最喜欢的石头，便把它带回家去，
好好对待它，因为那是你唯一的石头。
而且要记住，从此後不要再到海边去。

永远相信，
我已经找到最大、最美、最适合我的那一颗。

跟异性交往最重要的不是他有多好，
而是他对你有多好。
一个人如果条件很好，有一百分，
可是这一百分之中，他只给你三四十分，或一二十分；
相反地，另一个人也许只有七八十分，
可是他却是全心全意的对待你，
那你应该选择那一个？
其实，每一个人的条件都是一样的。
不管你有多好，都还有人比你更好。

你虽然做不到一个『最好的人』，
可是你却做得到一个『对对方最好的人』。
每一个男孩子都可以说：
『虽然我不是世界上最好的男人，但我是世界上对你最好的男人』。
反过来女孩子也是一样，这是每一个人都做得到的。
感情最重要的是在於他对你的好，
而不是他自己有多好。

但是如果有一个人本身已经很好了，
对你又是真心真意，真心爱你，
那麽你真的可以把一生托付给他。

现在女性考虑婚姻的唯一条件，
应该就是你爱不爱他，他爱不爱你，
是不是真心真意对你，
跟他在一起会不会有压力，会不会快乐，
而非他有什麽！

人间的真爱是很难得的。
在人的一生中，
很难找到一个
你真正爱，真正可以跟他过一辈子的人。
如果你怯於表达，
或害怕会有什麽事，
错失一辈子可能只有一次的真爱，
那就太可惜了，
所以一定要采取主动，把心里的话说出来。

如果一个男孩子
因为女孩子对他采取主动而看不起她，
那麽这个男孩子不是男生，而是畜生。
更何况，幸福比面子重要，
如果牺牲一时的面子可以换得一生的幸福，
是非常值得的，勇敢把心里的话说出来，
不要隐藏自己的真心。

千万别说缘份未到，其实缘份到处都有，
但却是稍纵即逝，如果『缘』不及时把握，
那就没有『份』了。
大多数的女性对感情是偏重於精神，
男性则偏於物质。
男孩子除了对女孩子殷勤体贴外，
也要学会对女孩子负责任，
要将对天下所有女孩子的殷勤体贴，
全部用来对一个女孩子。

另外，
刚毅木纳并不能讨女孩欢心，
所以要学习对女孩子甜言蜜语，多说好话。
男人，为性而爱；
女人，为爱而性。

一个维持起来轻松、愉快的感情容易长久！
一个维持起来艰难而痛苦的感情不易长久，
这时候就应该有所选择。
我们都是凡夫俗子，
要的是平凡而幸福并且快乐的爱情。
对所有的感情而言，过程远比结果重要。
为什麽？因为所有的感情都是没有结果的。
什麽是结果？结婚吗？
结婚之後就过着幸福快乐的日子吗？
可见我们不以感情的结果来评断它的价值感情，
也不以时间的长短来论定它的价值。

对感情而言，凡是发生过的都存在，
凡是存在过的都有价值。
世界上的感情每一段、每一分、每一秒
都是值得珍惜的。
婚姻是人生里最大的一场赌局。
在这无限长的时间里，
我们还要互相呈现最丑陋的一面给对方看。

婚姻和恋爱不同的是：
恋爱可以花二个小时打扮自己，
精神奕奕的向对方献殷勤、体贴，轻松完成任务。
可是婚姻就无法随时维持高亢的状态。
所以，婚姻是一场大赌注，
需有万全的准备、周详的计划、十足的信任，
然後再去押它一把，即使是这样都还有可能输掉。
因此如果在赌之前，就知道自己
不是心甘情愿、不是很爱他、并不想跟他过一辈子，
那麽这一场赌注注定是要输的。

千万不要
为了爱情之外的任何一个理由结婚。

感情的可贵
不在於可从对方获得什麽，
一方面是一种被依赖、被需要的感觉。
有人依赖我，需要我，
我会得到满足。

面对感情，我们所要采取的就是三不政策：
第一是不急：不要急着结婚。
结婚虽然是很美好的事，但是不要着急，
该是你的就是你的。
第二是不怕：不要害怕付出。
彼此必需一辈子努力，才能把感情维持好。
你不可能『得到』一个美好的感情，
你只能找到一个你心爱的人，
来共同经营、造就、完成一段美好的感情。
如果你没决心做好男人，那你就得不到好女人。

世界上没有一个坏男人会有一个好女人，
坏男人只会有可怜的女人；
同样的，也没有一个坏女人会有一个好男人。
何况感情中还有一个
跟我们共同努力、想把它做好的人。
这个合夥事业成功的机会是很大的，
关键就在於你是否愿意努力、付出而已。

第三是不要放弃。
当你受了打击、挫折、伤害，
当你感到灰心、失望时，
有一个人无条件的、永远站在你这一边，
支持你、鼓励你、安慰你，
让你重新站起来面对这个世界。

这个力量，是再亲的父母不能给我们的，
是再要好的朋友也不能给我们的，
只有在人生的旅程中所找到的心爱的伴侣，
才能够给我们。

其实爱情是人生唯一的、真正珍贵的；
也是唯一的、真正值得追求的东西。
只要你有一个心爱的人，
你就有了原动力，
你就能面对全世界。

送上祝福 用去找自己的另一半！！！

爱的最高境界是~(转)

(read this from a friend's blog)

有一天，女人问男人“你说，爱的最高境界是什么?”男人想了想，说：“是生与死吧~!你想啊~！一个人可以为另一个人去死，舍去生命中最重要的一却，还不是爱的最高境界吗？”
女 人点了点头，又摇了摇头。开始时她也是这么认为的。因为许多的爱情最壮烈的时候总是会和生与死联系在一起的。那些流传千古的爱情无一不是生生死死，总之悲 情者居多。可是，更多的俗人之间的爱情却只有平常的爱与恨。只有平常的悲伤与快乐。“那你说是什么？”男人问。女人笑了，“是习惯，当你习惯了一个人生活 中的习惯，你就真的爱上他了。
情是一个人对另一个人习惯的认同，爱到最高境界就是认同了他的习惯。一个女人习惯了一个男人的鼾声，从不适应到 习惯再到没有他的鼾声就睡不着觉，这就是爱；一个男人习惯了一个女人的任性、撒娇，甚至无理取闹、无事生非，这就是爱；一个人会为了另一个人去改变、去迁 就，这就是爱。
爱情的哲学有时候就是这么简单，就在生活的点滴里。你如果始终不能适应一个人，适应他的所有习惯，那只说明你没有爱他，或者说你还 未到爱的境界，因为爱就在这些细节里，当你已经习惯你的爱人所有习惯。比如他衣服的烟草味，比如他干净的衬衣,比如他半夜起来看足球。如果这些你都已习 惯，那么不要再问爱是什么这样愚蠢的话题了。
爱，有时候就是这么简单、朴素，它像一杯在我们身边的白开水伸手可及，喝了,让我们觉得凉爽舒服”

Cold War

Cold war made me sad
Cold war made me cried
Cold war made me stressed
Cold war made me moody
Cold war made me depressed

I hated cold war!!!

So proud being the Assistant Program Manager

the wedding working committee

For the past 2 months, I had never been so busy in my life, being appointed as the asst. program manager for my GM, Adrian's wedding on 5th May 2007. Finally, the night came and passed..everything had been so perfectly arranged! so proud of myself..

Jesslyn (MD's secretary) and I were being appointed by MD, himself, as the person in charged of his son's wedding. Initially, I was kinda furious..I had no chance to express my opinion..moreover, I am having an exam on 7th May, just 2 days after the wedding..this was too much and heavy for me to handle..so I was complaining throughout the whole process of coordinating and planning..

I was in charged of coordinating the ushering/registration and guest list, especially dealing with oversea guests (logistics and accommodation)..There were about 90 tables, inviting their family members, relatives, staffs, customers, suppliers, bankers etc..It's no longer a family wedding banquet, but became a corporate dinner already..so imagine the crowd we were expecting, can't afford to make a single mistakes..tension..moreover, MD called for meeting everyday..and his mind changed everytime..we had amended the wedding program and guest list for so many times until we lost count! even up to the very last minute, 30min before the wedding banquet dinner, MD was still amending his guest list..gosh!

Usher cum registration

I managed to invite 15 of my colleagues to help me with this, 12 ushers and 4 registration..Adrian requested all of us to wear white color apparel..and on that night, all of us did a great job..I am sure all the guests felt welcomed..

Guest list

This is very hectic job, especially MD is amending the list every now and then..I think I wasted tonnes of A4 paper for printing..Jesslyn and I were working till almost 9pm on 4/5, trying to finalise on the number of guests attending the dinner tomorrow..By right, I should have been on leave on 3/5-7/5 to study, but due to this wedding thingy, I had to cancel my leave..so, my mood was actually quite worried and pressured..this exam is very very important and crucial for me, my last paper to complete CPA program..I am so sick of exam already..just want to end it for once..But, really thank God for a bunch of good friends who were there to support and encourage me..esp my bf, Mark..thanks

Logistics cum accommodation

Mainly, I am dealing with Adrian's oversea guests..emailing them to request for their flight itinerary, so that I could arrange for airport pick up and also accommodation..That was one day I personally went to KLIA to pick up a guest from Taiwan..and she was so sweet to give me an appreciation gift, a 100% silk scarf..

On 5/5, I helped Adrian to hire a bus to pick up his guests from the hotel to the church for the wedding holy matrimony..So had to wake up early in the morning, follow the bus to the hotel, gather all the guests..I was proud of myself, being able to communicate and be friends with them...I think being a Dale Carnegie graduates, it does help a lot!

Wedding banquet night

After sending the guests to the church, I went for a hairdo before leaving for the hotel at 1pm..Both Jesslyn and I were doing the last minute preparation, ensuring everything (the PA system, table seating, decoration etc) is in good control..

Finally, the night had started...guests starting to flood the banquet hall..cocktail session at 645pm..I was walking from one corner to the other, ensuring all guests were being attended to..730pm, the main entrance to the hall was open, and all ushers had to standby to lead them to their respective table seating..After that, I had to go to the VIP room for the counting of angpow money..Adrian actually borrowed a cash counting machine from his friend , cool isnt it! We took about 1.5 hours to count the money, and thank God, the physical amount tally with the book amount..phew..

Then, I quickly joined the dinner..Jesslyn was telling me that I missed the best part of the night, Adrian's speech, for he specially thank both of us for tonight..mentioned our names! Felt so appreciated..

Overall, I would rate the wedding dinner 9/10, and it was a mission accomplished task! Reached home at about 1230am..so tired..but at least one storm had over, another awaiting for me on 7/5..Gambateh!
