"My parents are the greatest parents in the world!"

hey hey, i am speaking the truth k.. my parents and i are very closely knitted.. we can talk about anything under the sun, and i tell my parents about everything that happens to me at work or in school.. they are just like my friends (ok, minus the nagging part from my mom)..

yesterday (sunday), i just sent my dad off at the airport because he's going to perth for 5 days for work purposes.. he's going there alone and his colleagues will be joining him on monday.. my mom and i sent him to the airport and had breakfast together... sitting across the table from him, i realised how much he has aged since 10 years ago.. i know, 10 years le mah, of course will age.. although he still looks like he's 40, he's going to be 50 next year.. he has worked so hard to provide for everything that i have in the house right now.. my bed, computers, tvs, fridge, my bags.. if not for him, my brother and i won't ever lead such a luxurious life.. i realised that i am a very lucky girl.. to be born into this wonderful family.. i hope my brother realises it too..

my dad is ever jovial and happy.. he never brings back his work problems and vents his anger on us just coz of stress at work.. instead, he will always tell us about his funny anecdotes at work.. they are always so interesting and i am very happy to listen him talk on and on about it.. i love my daddy! he's the perfect man.. he's handsome, funny, gentlemanly, kind, innocent at times, ever ready to lend a listening ear.. after sending him off yesterday, i have come to realise that i must work very hard to give my parents the best quality of life.. they have given me everything i wished for and more.. i will not disappoint them and give them luxury.. i want my dad to be able to retire and enjoy life with my mom..

my mom may be naggy at times.. but she has insights on certain issues that ppl at my age may not be able to realise just yet.. so it's always interesting to see certain things from her point of view.. despite her short temper at times, she is a very loving mom... she slogs day in day out just for this family.. she makes sure that we have a sumptous dinner every evening and that everything is well-taken care of in the house..

i was so sad when my dad walked into the departure hall and checked in.. my mom and i just stood outside, silently.. watchin him going to the gate.. i'm not sure if my mom is sad.. but i am definitely very sad.. many may think that i m being very foolish, it's just a working trip!! to me, i dun like my loved ones to go overseas without me.. i get very worried.. it's just me, i guess.. how i wish i could go to perth with my dad to take care of him.. sigh.. i wonder how he is doing now.. i will cherish him even more when he comes back.. now all i can do is send him sms and keep my mom company..

i love you, daddy and mommy!!


"Pretty girls get away with making mistakes." Do you agree?

First of all, allow me to define all the terms that i am using. "Pretty" is very subjective word (after all, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, eh?). "Mistakes" is defined as something that is done wrong in the eyes of the superior.

Yesterday and today, I went to help out at ISSOWV (11th International Conference on Work and Values) organised by NBS and my prof (Stewart Lloyd Arnold whom i call SLAcker) and some other delegates. It's a great conference whereby delegates from the various institutions and universities come together to discuss their findings on human behaviour..

I got to know this girl (year 1 going onto year 2) called Joyce (her name has been changed to protect myself, i dun want anyone who knows her to come and beat me up! lolx). Apparently, Joyce does some roadshows (wearing fairy costumes to give flyers and similar stuff like that) to earn some big money (like $70 an hr). well, you tink she's pretty. honestly, i do not deny that she's good looking, very tanned and curvy. she's very confident, knows how to speak and act very hardworking in front of the ppl.

she can get along very well with guys, i must say. she had all the waiters twisting around her finger. haha.. i m not the sort of person to mingle around with every single person on the team, it's just not me. haha.. but on a one-to-one, i can get friendly with you.. to an outsider, it will appear that she's very hardworking and doing all the right things at the right time. well, not to me. i dun really like to get too close to her. haha..

back to my topic for today, just coz she's "pretty" to many, they will like to talk to her and even if she omits sth or commits a mistake, i dun think anyone will notice. me, on the other hand, not all attractive, won't get many delegates/waiters talking to me. what works for me is that, if i help someone, i will go out and see that matter till the end. i tend to give ppl the feeling that i m very earnest to help you in any way possible, even though i may not look pretty and confident. haha..

seeing joyce for the past 2 days has made me realised that pretty girls really can land better jobs, won't get reprimanded if they do sth wrong, get things done in a shorter time, get their hands on everything they want. pretty girls are ever so lucky, everyone wants to talk to them, they are pretty (and that means looking good in all types of clothes)!!! they have good frens, ppl who won't shun them just coz they are pretty, good parents, high-paying jobs..

so, is it good to be pretty? or is it better to be sincere? do share your thots with me on the tag board as i would really like to know how you guys think of this.


i just listened to a love story on the radio.

Husband and wife had an argument in the morning because Husband woke up 5 minutes later and did not prepare breakfast. It has always been the practice that Husband will prepare the breakfast while Wife will take care of the dinner. That morning, Wife chided Husband and even told him not to come back for dinner because she won't include his share. Husband left for work angrily. Alone at home, Wife thought over her words and knew that she shouldn't have chided Husband for such a small matter. To make up for it, she decided to prepare chicken soup for him when he comes back tonight.

Having a tough day at work and it was his friend's bday, Husband decided to have a drink at the pub and he had a little too much. On his way home on his scooter, he got into an accident. He reached out for his hp and pressed Wife's number. On the other hand, Wife was waiting for Husband at the living room, looking out for any sign of Husband's scooter. Then the phone rang. The police had called. They found her number through Husband's "Last Dialled" List. On seeing his body, Wife wanted to say so much to him but he would never be able to hear them ever again. She had lots of regrets.

A few years later, Wife remarried. This time round, Wife never scolded her new husband ever again.

the moral of the story teaches us to think before we say anything harsh. We should never say anything that we know we will come to regret in the future. Having heard this story, i reflected on my own words and actions for the past few days. for some, i knew the cause behind my childish acts.. for others, i still had no idea why i reacted that way and spoilt the whole day for him.

from this, i will always think before i act. i don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill and hurt the ones that love me most. for Wife, she never had a chance to make up for the mistakes she committed. for me, i still have time to make amendments. thus, i will try my best to change for the better and make amendments.

i love you


hiya all!!

oh my goodness.. i don't even remember when was the last time i blogged.. well, in a blink of the eye, i am halfway through my internship!! 5 weeks has gone past! haha.. time flies..

i wouldn't say that i m being very stressed or happy with my job.. though i was given the opportunity to do some very simple reasonableness tests, there is some strong politics going on..

not to mention what the politics are, i have decided to keep my mouth shut to everything and just open my ears. office politics are inevitable everywhere and not everyone plays it. unfortunately someone i know plays it, and not very well, i would say. "It" shows different expressions for different classes of people (namely, the interns like me, "it"s peers and "it"s superiors). obviously, me being the lowest rank in the company, will get all the bad and sucky treatment. if "it" plays politics well, it wouldn't be where "it" is now. "it" would be somewhere higher up the corporate ladder and not doing the field work. so it goes to show that office politics without the real capability will get you nowhere.

frankly speaking, i feel quite sympathetic for "it". after struggling for so long in the corporate world, "it"s position is not any higher than mine. "it" is a very disgusting person, to say. well, i shan't elaborate further.

i can't wait for internship to be over. well, at least my time at this current job will be over soon and i will be able to move onto the next job. hopefully, my next team will be a better one.

work has taught me alot. i have learnt to cherish the joys of learning and studying. i have also learnt that people are never simple as you think they are. they have a lot of ideas up their sleeve. if you aren't careful enough, you might just receive a stab from the back! haha..

ok, that's all i have to say.. will blog again when i am free! stan said that my complexion has deterioriated. damn it.. i better do something to it..
