A Reason?!

I always believe that there is a reason for every thing that we do, good, bad or neutral. So probably we should think a level deeper when we start to wonder why someone did something as it is...

Heard a tragic story today. Since I do not want to mention it in my blog because I wouldn't want to be able to remember it, I would like to jot down my thoughts on the incident. Life is too short for almost anything that you can possibly think of. True? Relatively. And the only thing I would like to express is - let go of yourself. Optimism is not a denial of pessimism. It is just another route in life we have the choice for. Maybe you start questioning that I am just trying to convince myself of the better. Probably. But I've chosen to believe that if I am able to free myself of the persuasion of those deadly sins, I will happier myself and for the others.

"Little Bobby is always bullied by George the big bully in class. One day Bobby was on the swing. George came by and pushed poor Bobby off the swing. Bobby cried. The next day Bobby went on the swing again. George came by again and pushed Bobby off the swing. Bobby cried. Bobby got home and his mom asked him how was school that day. Hesitated for while, little Bobby expressed his concerned about the big bully in school pushing him off the swing. Bobby mummy gave Bobby a sweet and told him to give the sweet to George during recess tomorrow. And little Bobby did as told. George stared at Bobby for a while. Bobby then see a sincere smile across George's face. Bobby smiled......"

Travel

Having a routine job bores me somtimes. But there is always travel plans that cheers me up. Apart from looking forward to covering most of cities in the world, the wonders of the world etc, there are also those weird and strange places I would like to go!

I've always wanted to organise my blog a bit and give it a more focused theme (prolly focusing on food and travel etc.), but that did not happen because I did not put enough dedication to my blog hehe. Before that happens, accept this disorganised blog of mine for the time being ^^.

Found out about this cool place - Mystery Spot somewhere in Santa Cruz. There is a spot in this place where by if two people stand on it and although A is taller than B, B will look taller etc... Interesting! And this will definitely be one of the destinations in my list! Ref: (Dennis the Menace Comic on Mystery Spot)

Brrr January

I think I am stressing myself too much these days. Work is definitely challenging. I think I'm using too much of my brains every second everyday. I guess I have not used that much of my brains over the past 20 odd years in school and uni. Good God Gracious! Suffering from headache now! I will be anticipating grey hair soon! (Just ranting about how to make the web page works! Which is supposedly to do some freaking complicated processing!). God, could you kindly give me a more inspiration! God give me a better algorithm!

In addition to that work load, 3 colleagues of mine in my team will be on holiday next week. Which means, I am left with another colleague to handle all other issues within the team. Wish me luck next week! Well, I guess I couldn't have complained more for the fact that I still have almost 6 to 7 hours of sleep a day. Your welcome to tell me that I am stressing myself too much and that your working days are worse. At least, I can tell myself to work harder, and complain less!

So far, the first month of 2007 had been quite eventful. Went to one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant - Petrus (its French) the first week. Although it cost me a bomb (for a normal 'ta gong chai' me), the food is actually not bad! Loved the starter (scallops ... 8 of them a plate!). The main course - Sea bass was ok only. But all other complimentary small dishes were cute and yummy ^^

Then it was my company's post Xmas and new year party at Sway Club, Holborn. I guess I have never had so much alcohol in one night ever before! Wine, beer and spirits were free flow. How about that! And there were two casino tables - blackjack and roulette. Everyone was supposedly to have 100 worth of chips (not cash transferable though). I played a lil but not enough to be the big winner of the night. Then there was auction of some 10 participants doing chores for NSPCC day. Got home around 4am but still 'zombiesize' myself to go work at 9 !

Last week was Lion King musical. It was really colourful and funny I would say. Why funny? Find out yourself ;). I think it is really different from other musicals I've watched. Then it was shopping almost every weekend. Sigh...luckily its pay day again tomorrow! Need to really plan out my expenses :S (ok ok will be on my 2007 resolutions list)

Ohya, it snowed yesterday! Didn't really expected it. Woke up and got ready for work (still not aware it snowed). Got to the door and saw outside from the glass the bushes outside were white! Amusingly, the first thing that came over my mind is - Did some white flowers bloomed from the bushes!?!? Ok ok, its stupid. But hey, I've just woke up :P. Anyway, it's starting to get really cold :(. Need to dig out my down jackets and fleece.
