Little did i know that all the way i am surrounded by your love,
Little did i know that YOU have been there.
Little did i know that I need no white horses,
Little did i know that my God is BIGGER than the little me.

So when i gaze at the fireworks , i thank God for the many company that has shared memories with me. I rem watching the fire works with JC frens, with church frens and now UNI frens.
It is just nice to know that there are pple who do not mind looking at the few seconds of beauty , knowing that all this will fade away , and puffs into smoke. Its nice to have frens who appreciate these things.

i recently read this book titled
The LAST LECTURE
i guess it is something that as a student we always look forward to , that gives us a closure to all the things that we have learnt , and above all, it made us feel as if we were there for the entire semester to have seen it till the end.
ANYWAY, the book is not about the last lecture. It is about living. More than that, it is about loving the present.

He shared simply from his younger days as a child, what he seen from his parents and shared simply with the reader through examples. I am not doing the book justice but i am really glad that i have read this book. He had this rule for his nephews:
1) no whining and 2) whatever we do, we'll keep it from mum.
i think its simple easy to follow and really nice way of building relationships.
He also had this rule in the house for his kids, that is, no one-word questions. i think this really makes people understand what they have just heard and process the doubts they have, before voicing out. really impressive advice to follow.

here is the best part:
This is a beautiful advice that i got from Jon Snoddy, my hero at Disney Imagineering. i just was so taken with the way he put it." If you wait long enough, '' he said, ''people will surprise and impress you."
As he saw things: when you are frustrated with people, whent hey have made you angry, it just may be because you haven't given them enough time.
Jon warned me that sometimes this took great patience-even years."But in the end, " he said," people will show you their good side. Almost everybody has a good side. Just keep waiting , It will come out.

And also:
Be the first penguin.
experience is what you get when you didnt get what you wanted.

And this guy thinks:
Brick walls are there for a reason. They gice us a chance to show how badly we want something.

And ..
Send out thin mints for a request for a undesirable job...
smelling the crayon takes you right back into childhood...

I think it's best to read and be encouraged!

i like the slam dunk series that i had just finished!
Quite amazing that sometimes we know that we need tt little stubbornness to believe in something and go all out to achieve it. And when it hurts us more than anything, the main idea is to give it ur all! How amazing the human mind can battle the physical weakness that we face.
And even if the giants continue to taunt and discourage us..
we need to get on the court and fight the battle, no resting.

i went to the museum yesterday!
haha.. it was totally cool as i had a free admission and this was the second day that i went back to the same museum one week apart.
muahaha.. i am such a musuem fanatic?? and quite a photo hunt manic..

andddd.. one thing that turn out well was that i received a call for work , for employment..
and this is no easy employment cos the job is one tat deals with the young and the active.. hah.. more like sporty but hey! so am i lor.. i got a job for AYG - ASIAN YOUTH GAMES !!

sooo TODAY was the first day of work. went to the stadium at 930 and since then i was posted to grand mercure roxy hotel. haha.. it was a bit of stress when pple you are dealing with are important pple such as officials and referees. haha

and now i have to report work everyday at 7 am!

am happy and glad ..

its another monday again!
sigh.
weeks are just flying past and i think i haven eally found something that i really going to do , something tt i am gg to do for a long time..
I am re-reading a Little Prince ( dun laugh at the idea of re-read !) . I THINK IT IS A CLASSIC NICE STORY!
i wonder if there are any pple that still thinks that way these days, or even talk like that these days.

oh well,
my weekends are really fun
Break down:

Fri- Timbre
Sat - swim @SK swimming complex
Sun- went shopping and gt 2 new pair of shoes.
hahah.. okok..
little retail therapy here and there. little music and jazz, little wet.

heyos. adios..

These days i am really sort of looking forward. To whatever comes along my way :D
i have a book which i am going to finish real soon, it is called THE SHACK. I think it is a good book that depicts a relational God which wants to share in the everyday pain and suffering that we all go thru.
I watched a video of Nick Vujicic. He was born without arms and legs and also without limits. It surely took a lot of faith to carry on living day to day as many simple things like playing becomes a challenge that he overcomes. His positiveness is so great that when u see him , it seems like he glows . it is really a beautiful imperfections that he shows and stands out.

these days , many thngs are bothering me at the back of my head, things like what i have accomplished and what i should have accomplished.
It is like a good time to think back of the year and see what needs to be changed, just like each time when u behold yourself in the mirror, you look for things to change ( unless you are some Naru-chan) . Looking at myself, i am really thankful but somehow there seems to be something that i think i am holding back in this phase of my life. i wonder if it is the pride that is left in all of us when we say that i have nothing left .
It is not difficult to be full of yourself and it is really easy to be contend with youself .

OH wells, if you are asking me if i want to change anything , i might be the same predictable self and even if i do change, i doubt i myself will change.

on a lighter note, i watch my first series of anime.. muahah..
it finally got me..
the first series of anime that i watch was something called GhostHunt. It was a series of cases where they try to spook you and add in the errie sounds to 'scare' you. Besides that, i think the series is really well presented cos there is always something to give u a cliffhanger. hha.. All the psychic stuff that we all are unfmiliar with yet will not mind finding out more info on. Things like dracula, spoon bending, curses.. kind of spooky if u ask me but i think the series is really thought provoking with the interesting characters . One ego guy .. with long fringe

Long fringe. what is it with dramas and anime presenting guys with long fringe? i do not understand as it is not real yet somehow the most charismatic guy in any drama or anime might be the long fringe guy. ( haha.. Boys over flowers and Ghost hunt)
perculiar .

i am really thankful for the events that happen! I got my acceptance package from HK this week and also I gt the award from HKUST this week too. Part of the award involves going hk to do some community work, which i hope to really experience myself, especially with the looming H1N1 virus thing that is going on around the world.
ThAnk YOu Lord!!

i guess i miss blogging after a while..
I attended this seminar today organised by Great Eastern called the Internship Programme. They apparently have this programme that trains undergraduate to be in the Financial Assistance Services. I was bit dissappointed as i half expected something that was related to my course of study .. but anyways i stayed till the end.
They had the motivational speaker, Adam Khoo on stage for almost 1.5 hours. Though i cant agree totally with what he presented ,the guy really had something that stood out, he was honest in his speech. I could understand him but sometimes i wonder if he was a religion person and if so, would he be a christian cos he has been 'idolising' with the prospect of money. Though he was right on certain things like fear of failure, i sometimes wonder if we should have the enthusiasm, drive and determination to always achieve high income, high revenue, high profits low cost , low risks... etc..it make life seems to revolve around money too much. and sort of mammon-idolising.

And about setting goals in your lives, every education institution i went to , emphasize a lot on it. In my Secondary school days, we do this like periodically , in Jc we do this each quarter. It is just procratination that stops you at the first step. As much as how goal setting leads to strategy leads to action and this whole process is called success formula, i believe that there is lacking in something that we are suppose to include: God.

It is a little bit delusioning to be sucked into the corporate world wo God and it is easy to do just that. I mean sitting in there for 2 hours, i was taken aback by how much it all made sense to do it all yourself , aptly called entrepreneurship.

If only you have known someone who has plans for you..
