The grace to sustain through it all was just amazing. =)

But people grow up... things change... and all around, people are talking of settling down. Hmm...how does one choose? How does one know if it is THE right one? What are the signs? Sooner or later, its just inevitable. I've heard about people ready to tie the knot, yet just weeks before, call it off and thats it. Some are so close to even a few days before... and then months later, news is that the person found another which eventually became THE ONE... scary... to think that ANYTHING can happen...
On a lighter note... hmm... after all the movies we're been shown.. and the different ways of being proposed to... it does make one wonder (and in the process spoiling what could be a gud surprise) about the different ways that one can possibly be proposed with... lol... and the danger of it is that one's imagination is so great that when the real one happens.. it's probably short of what the imagination could do. LOL...
anyway, save it for another day....

The rustling of breath, the tingle up the spine…
The feeling of warmth which can’t be defined…
One second more and it would be crushing…
Yet a moment less would be terribly denying…
No words to describe it; they couldn’t do it justice.
Thoughts bounced off the walls of the mind
Though nothing made sense.
Dull yet exhilarating …
Terrified yet audacious …
Subtle yet evident ...
Agreeing yet denying…
Silent yet deafening …
Still yet full of motion…
Thrilled yet perturbed…
Lingering yet withdrawing…
Then the spell broke.
Times up.
The moment passed.
The world continued to spin on axis.
Life continues…
That’s just the way it is.
Hmm.. last night’s cell, we spoke about confidence and insecurities. J shared using Gideon as an example… (called him the ‘chicken’.. lol… *mind whirled into motion*) =P
Then we shared about what made people look confident to us… some said it was the way they walked, others said it was how loud they spoke. Some even said that the strengths that they portrayed was just a cover-up of their weakness underneath.
After all that discussion and sharing, we spoke about ways we could increase confidence or avoid the lack there-of. So, being the nice person I am, I’ll share what we shared with you… hehehehe…
1. THINK POSITIVE
You gotta know who you are… being sure of yourself is important to a strong foundation of what you think you are capable of
2. TALK TO SOMEONE
Not just anyone… someone who is capable of giving good advice.. Godly advice… someone that you can be accountable to is even better. Sharing is caring… and problems and weaknesses are no exception!! =)
3. THINK OF 10 GOOD THINGS EVERYTIME YOU THINK OF 1 BAD THING
This would train you to look more on the positive side… looking for the best in others… well, that’s what love is all about anyway… right? =P It’s so easy to look at others’ inability we tend to ignore their capabilities and the fact of how blessed we are to have them around. After awhile, we realize that trying to think of 10 good things about people we dislike is kinda tiring that we kinda avoid thinking about the bad altogether and strive to find that speck of good.
4. AVOID COMPARISON
Comparisons just brings condemnation… either upon oneself or another. When we compare, only 1 of 2 things can happen. Either we see others better than us and thus feel incompetent…or we see ourselves better than the other… thus making us feel proud. And as they say, pride comes before a fall. Either way, the outcome is pretty much looking down.We are all different… unique…special. As some say, its pretty much equivalent to comparing a boat and a pencil. To say that one is better than the other is pretty much insane… not to say its probably a characteristic of a “psy” patient!!
Besides that, to compare is to decrease personal standards. Instead of striving towards the best, comparing justifies at just being better than another. It isn’t necessarily the best you can be… and that is definitely below the average that God has for us!!! The example we had was that we may compare our results from an exam and be glad that we got a pass while the rest failed. But a pass is just a pass. It isn’t what we should strive for. It is the distinction mark that we should be looking towards.
5. FOCUS ON POTENTIALS; NOT LIMITATIONS
We were given the grace to accomplish that which we were made to do. Not more, not less. Striving to what God has for us is to achieve that which we are made to be. To look at limitations is to say that God is insane to think so highly of us and that it is impossible!
6. REMEMBER : Confidence is not covering up a weakness but rather, the assurance of that which is really you… not letting anyone shake you off… and not falter from the words of others.
Well, these are just the few points that we thought of in the short time that we had. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to contribute…=P

I really owe this one BIG TIME to d big guy up there.... without His help, I dont think i would even hire myself!! Gosh...
Really feel under-prepared for this interview... it was in English (thank GOD!!)... and it was a good jerk to reality that its time to really buck up twice as hard and thrice as smart... or else.. its a harsh blow to the face of reality! But most of all, watching those that came out from my board with the long face or the grumpy expression... that totally didnt help boost any confidence i had left. But thanks to those that still kept my head up high even when I tried to hide it low... for the pat on the back and the hugs... and the shoulder to lean on... I am eternally grateful! Most of all, for the favor that always goes before me... the one that causes the panel to not be able to but just be nice to me... even after all that I have heard about my board, I think I can fully digress!! I totally love my panel... that they were really encauraging, making my interview a pleasantly enjoyable one although I barely could answer the tough Medical questions given. And to be told at the end that all I needed was just a little bit more confidence in myself... i couldn't agree more! Praise and glory to Him who sustains my very breath!!
After all said and done, I am totally thankful and grateful that I passed... why not...I'm a government servant grade UD41 when I graduate!!! hehehehe....
*thanks for being there... even though you would've been there anyway...you had to...=P*

Mereka kata Interview dalam BM.. Macam mana lah? walaupun BM saya dulu dapat A1.. tapi 7 tahun tak guna langsung...A1 pun boleh jadi E8 la.... haih.....Tapi mereka kata... jangan putus asa... Fikirkan Boleh!!! hahahah...
Maka, dengan itu, saya kenalah pergi hafal Rukun Negara, Lagu Kebangsaan... Senarai Menteri Menteri Kabinet and yang terutama, nama Yang Di-Pertuan Agung kita yang teramatlah panjang itu... walaupun kemungkinan ditanya amatlah tipis. hehehehe...
Lagilah dengan penyakit-penyakit berjangkit yang tidak terhingga... aihh.. letih lah mata saya... esok cepat cepat selesaikan dan pergi makan... biar habis tak payah lenggah. hehehe... Saya rasa lebih awal kan lebih baik. Lagi lama ditunda, lagi gempak pula rasanya.
Macam mana lah nak fikir perkataan-perkataan Medik yang.... Tuhan tolong lah saya!!!!!!

Although we are called to love everyone the same, there are just some people whom we love more than others... not that we are conditional... but just that we are investing into their lives. Never-the-less, we must still constantly check our motives lest we start getting conditional with these people because they are closer to us. Constantly making sure that we do not start to require more of the other person than before.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say 'I love you,'
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say 'I love you,'
And certainly there's another chance
to say 'Anything I can do?'
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say 'I'm sorry',
'Please forgive me,' 'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.'
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today

Proverbs 13:12
Tuesday, January 08, 2008
1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
His advice to young people:
"Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and
Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man
but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen them,
but do what makes you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name;
just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things;
just spend on them who are really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life
then why give chance to others to rule our life."

hmm... still not sure abt what this tag thing is about.. but i assume that i'm suppose to fill in the same list.. so here it goes my beloved sheep sheep.. for you... =P
LIST OUT THE TOP 5 PRESENTS YOU WISH FOR:
