I felt like I was listening to a pretty popular kontrabida on one of 'em teeny bopper show like 90210 (which I happen to watch. hehe).

1. You do not effectively get what you want by whining. Sound andrational arguments will always be more convincing and effective than bucketsof tears, unless you are a toddler who wants candy or a toy.2. Continuously find ways to grow and learn. It may be difficult to getout of your comfort zones but it is how you learn. You get hurt, youstruggle, you live, you learn.3. Know what you are worth.

I took time off work last Friday to accompany my mom to the doctor, it feels nice having to give back for all of the caring she gave me when I was a child, well actually up to now. I drove her to and walked furiously around medical city, whose hospital services by the way, is very unsystematic. I mean it took me almost two hours to get Xray results which was done the previous day. Anyway, we

One of my favorite persons in our team made me laugh real hard today. Meri and I share the same *penchant* for mentally-challenged, to be politically correct, individuals. Luckily we get to work with some of them the past few months. Eeek. And today, she shared with me a very classic example of how seemingly dorks are beginning to creep in again. Lord help us. :) **** Michael and I was just

Better days...

2007-06-01T11:47:00.000+08:00

I'd say how can I be sureWhat is right or wrongAnd why doesWhat I wantAlways take so long...I love this Diane Reeves song, if only I could give justice to the song when I attemp to sing it. I know I can't get to better days without being patient, and in time I'd get the answers that I'm wishing for. But I'm praying and hoping that the answers just come to me now, like somehow reveal itself to me.

For the last few weeks, it seemed like our company is a chinese-operated company. Two pigs - well just two cute poster pigs with pop-up noses- will greet you as soon as you walk in our front door. Chinese lanterns are hung on strategic places, one pig whose arm constantly swings back and forth sits on one of the meeting room's table and on the thursday before the Chinese new year there were
