Workaholics or more than meets the eye?

This shall be a random post... ... someone or rather a few people just triggers me to write this post.

Okay..... take out both your hands..... and start to count how many of your friends are workaholic? Wait wait.... before we do that.... let me define what is workaholic.....

According to dictionary.com, workaholic is define as a person who works compulsively at the expense of other pursuits.

Okay.... so now starts counting..... 1....2....3.... anymore? I do have quite a handful of friends who seems to be still at work after their working hours. You may think..... well.... these people are HARDWORKING!!! But if you know them well, you may came to realise that...... that is not necessary so.

If you really look deep enough, these people are just escaping from certain areas in their lives. Working just keep them occupied, so that their minds wouldn't wander around, to think about things they don't wanna think.

Perhaps, work is an area that they can gain their self-esteem, victory and confidence that they lost in other areas of their life. Just like why guys like gaming alot.... cause it give them a sense of control in how they want the characters in the game to be.

Thus......

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

And if a friend starts to do OT (I mean overtime and not occupational therapy) frequently, maybe, you may want to start to show more concern by asking,

"Are you alright?"

我的音乐故事 - My Music Story

Incy Wincy Spider



The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again.

Row, Row, Row your boat



Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.


Once I caught a fish alive



One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let go again.

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

It has been so long since I last sing Nursery songs..... need to start to sing them again ..... =P

Visit to Malaysia

Just heard from the news that the "white card" entry to Malaysia is back again!!!!

I was just talking to my colleagues last week that I didn't know that the white card was abolished..... and just within a few days away from the conversation..... the "white card" was back again....

Seems like this is going to happen again.....

Filling up the "white card"
(photo taken when my classmates and I went to JB in 2006 after our last paper)

P.S: It has been so long since I last enter M'sia.... (excluding my Pahang trip).... maybe one day I should go again......

ASSUME

Have you guys knows what is the definitation of the word?

When someone ASSUME..... you can say,

"Don't make an ASS out of U and ME."

Haha.... this is a phrase that I used to use at times during my life as a CI.

P.S: ONLY WHEN I AM VERY ANGRY! =D

Books on relationships

I was walking around aimlessly.... nothing to do after I got my race stuff..... so I popped into MPH, as usual......

Flipped afew some pages of the following 2 books......

Hmm.... what I can say is that... both are interesting. One talks about how different persepective that males and females has..... and how gals always talk about emotions.... and how guys always talked about solutions...... it all has got to do with our physiology makeup.... we aren't called guys or gals for nothing. =) And that is from Why Mars and Venus Collides.






The other one..... I didn't really go and flip alot....this I just flip a few pages... really.... anyway.... this is just a book to motivates ladies who are still single... and the reason is not because of the gal.... but it is HIM. The first chapter was about there was totally nothing wrong with the gal.... she was lovable.... but it was the guy who aren't ready. =) Didn't carry on reading the rest.....



Anyway, if you guys ( and I mean gals and guys) are interested, you can grab a copy or borrow from the library.

Fountain of Wealth

It has been a long time since I stepped into this fountain of wealth.....

The instruction:

1. Stretch out your right hand and go round the fountain 3 times, in clockwise direction.
2. As you go around, make a wish sliently.

So what did I wish for?
*slience*

Already tell you slient wish le...... if I tell you it wouldn't come true le..... *bleh*

P.S: I was the last person to make a wish.... as the security guard wants to close up the place at 6pm. =)

*Afternote: Someone says it will take my wealth away.... but what if I didn't wish for wealth? But then it suppose to be Fountain of Wealth right? hmm......*

我的音乐故事 - My Music Story

在Channel 8's 的王牌摄影棚听到这些歌。。。。。

这集的嘉宾是“情歌王子” - 张信哲。小时候很也喜欢听他的歌。。。可是当时只是单纯的喜欢，因为好听。

现在长大了。。。。 比较留意歌的歌词。。。。

属于我的歌 - <<我的音乐故事>>。。。。。

太想愛你-張信哲

慌乱城市中
连风都不自由
热闹的街头
就数我最寂寞
是爱的蛊惑
让我又兴起贪求的念头
有多爱我
够不够久
会不会走
藏在柔顺背后
你忠于自我
情爱里游走
从不曾见你低头
我却常犯错
像一个太忙太累太傻的陀螺
转个不休
只放不收
停不了手

太想爱你是我压抑不了的念头
想要全面占领你的喜怒哀愁
你已征服了我
却还不属于我
叫我如何不去猜测你在想什么
太想爱你是我压抑不了的折磨
能否请你不要不要选择闪躲
只想爱你的我
太想爱你的我
难道只能在迷雾中
猜你的轮廓


爱如潮水- 张信哲



不问你为何流眼泪
不在乎你心里还有谁
请让我给你安慰
不论结局是喜是悲
走过千山万水
在我心里你永远是那么美

既然爱了就不后悔
再多的苦我也愿意背
我的爱如潮水
爱如潮水将我向你推
紧紧跟随
爱如潮水她将你我包围

我再也不愿见你在深夜里买醉
不愿别的男人见识你的妩媚
你该知道这样会让我心碎
答应我你从此不在深夜里徘徊
不要轻易尝试放纵的滋味
你可知道这样会让我心碎

既然爱了就无怨无悔
再多的苦我也愿意背
我的爱如潮水
爱如潮水将我向你推
紧紧跟随
爱如潮水她将你我包围

我再也不愿见你在深夜里买醉
不愿别的男人见识你的妩媚
你该知道这样会让我心碎

答应我你从此不在深夜里徘徊
不要轻易尝试放纵的滋味
你可知道这样会让我心碎

我再也不愿见你在深夜里买醉
不愿别的男人见识你的妩媚
你该知道这样会让我心碎

答应我你从此不在深夜里徘徊
不要轻易尝试放纵的滋味
你可知道这样会让我心碎

Story of 2 teardrops

Saw the following in someone's profile in WLNY:

Two teardrops were floating down the river.

One teardrop said to the other, "I'm the teardrop of a girl who loved and lost a man. Who are you?"

The other replied:

"I'm the teardrop of a man who regretted letting a girl go."


Bottom line: Nobody will sympathize with a person who constantly lets chances pass by without making any effort to salvage them. We normally don't realize how important our loved and close ones are until they leave us, and then we start regretting, which results in misery.

Lost time is NEVER gained again.

Yet again there are people who realise the mistakes but makes the mistakes over and over again....... irony isn't it?

Things you can't control

"There are many things we can't control in life, but the one thing we can control is the person we choose to be." - Lena T

Well, I do agree with Lena that there are many things in life that we can't control. Even SY said this quite long ago. And I do agree.

But I still choose to be who I am and do what I still do.... despite what things others might say to me. Cause I choose to be who I am and do what I want.

Interesting post by Lena T

心有独钟 - 陈晓东

这种感觉从来不曾有
左右每天思绪
每一次呼吸心被占据
却苦无医
是你让我着了迷

给了甜蜜又保持距离
而你潇洒来去玩爱情游戏
我一天天失去勇气
偏偏难又难忘记

等等为你心有独钟
因为爱过才知情多浓
浓得发痛在心中痛全是感动
我是真的真的与众不同
真正为你心有独钟
因为有你世界变不同
笑我太傻太蒙懂或爱得太重
只为相信我自己
能永远对你心有独钟
