Friday, February 24, 2006 A friend once posted this song "Diamond Road" lyrics by Sheryl Crow in my Friendster & I find it really meaningful and would like to share it with you, especially those who are lost, discouraged or searching for an answer.Walk with me the diamond road Tell me every story told Give me something of your soul That I can hold onto I want to wake up to the sound of waves Crashing on a brand new day Keep the memory of your face But wipe the pain away When you're lonely (you're not alone) When you're heart aches (on Diamond Road) It's gonna take a little time Yeah, it's gonna take a little time When the night falls (you're not alone) When you're stumbling (on Diamond Road) It's gonna take a little time To make it to the other side So don't miss the diamonds along the way Every road has led us here today Little bird, what's troubling you You know what you have to do What is yours you'll never lose And what's ahead may shine Beneath the promise of blue skies With broken wings we'll learn to fly Pull yourself out of the tide And begin the dream again So don't miss the diamonds along the way Every road has led us here today Won't you shine on Morning light Burn the darkness away Walk with me the Diamond Road Tell me everything is gold Give me something of your soul So you don't fade away Don't miss the diamonds along the way Every road has led us here today Life is what happens while you're making plans All that you need is right here in your hands. Friday, February 17, 2006 Turning tides &Seasons changed For they say time Can heal & wash away your pain Stubborn mind but Softened hearts What is it to be said Has been laid Laughing moments Crying games Yearning for longing Searching for peace Where has that innocence gone? Or that anger from? Blessed are those who loved And is loved Blessed are those who are treasured And is found The uncertain world The unsettled thoughts I shall not dwell For there could be a silver-lining And all shall be well ~~soulcheeky (Feb 2006)~~ Tuesday, February 14, 2006 Today's is the day where lovers celebrate (but it's really silly for a guy to buy flowers for his girlfriend on this day).Valentine's Day is also a celebration of love & friendship among friends. As for me, this year's V-Day seems like an irony. I'm celebrating singlehood (though I'm not sure if it should be celebrated). I had made one of the biggest decisions in my life. We were going into different directions in life & pursuing different things. And I thought, perhaps, it is best we move on. If not, it'll just make us feel frustrated. He did a very sweet thing before V-day though. He made me a card with a self-penned poem. I loved it but the more I think about the nice things he did, the more frustrated I get cuz it'll put me in a dilemma. It is definitely not easy to let go of a relationship, much less a five year one. But I realized a relationship cannot be based on love & air alone. He may do things that touched me once in awhile but that is not going change the way what he wants in life or in the relationship & mine. I don't know if this decision is a right or a wrong one. Whatever it is, I have laid down my cards out on the table & there's no turning back. If you ask me whether I'm ready for another relationship (if there is) in the near future, I would say maybe I'm not. The process of getting to know someone all over again, adjusting to each other's habits & lifestyle, getting comfortable with one another is a very long & tiring process. And I don't think I can go through that. Now, I only hope that in time to come, I'll get used to being single. Afterall, I hadn't been single since I was 18. Sunday, February 12, 2006 Went to Ministry of Sound (MOS) last Saturday. A last minute one, at least for me, cuz I was only told by my friends that they're going to MOS when I met them for dinner @ Little India.Luckily, I wasn't dressed too shabbily...hehee. Haven't went clubbing for a very long time now & I thought why not? The place is big & has 4 different 'rooms'. My personal favourites are 54 (ala Studio 54) which plays disco funk kind of music & PURE, which spins chill-out music. The R&B/Hip-Hop room is called Smoove. The dance floor is surrounded by a cage. And my friend was saying if we have bananas, we can feed them with it! The people who were dancing does look like a bunch of 'sweaty' monkeys! haha. Overall, I don't think I'll go back to MOS again unless there's a strong reason too. The crowd (especially at the main arena) is the CMI kind. In fact, we were laughing our asses off at some of the people dancing there. Anyway, there was a guy from nightlife.sg website taking photos. And we were in it.   Wednesday, February 08, 2006 Time really flies. My 8 months part-time course is coming to an end soon. I'll be having my exams in early March & I'm already starting to get panicky....whether I have enough time to revise, able to remember things taught, etc.The best part is nobody, not even the Lecturers nor the institution here, knows the exact date of the exam. So mysterious! All we know is that it will happen in the second week of March. Reason being the IATA-UFTAA is really strict about the exams & apparently, due to the different time zones around the world, they have to ensure that no one country does the same set of paper earlier than the other (in case of cheating). Guess I'm just giving myself too much pressure cuz deep down I would like to score a Distinction. But thinking, I think I'll settle for a pass instead....better than nothing. Somehow I dunno why but felt I might have wasted my $$ on the course since it's only for self-interest & that it might not be my rice bowl in the future. Nonetheless, I have learnt quite a lot & expanded my knowledge on the travel industry. Well, If I have the time & resources, I would like to study something to do with nursing, perhaps in geriatric since we are facing with the aging population & healthcare will be in greater demand. Everywhere is facing nurses shortage, that is why it's easy to go overseas to work as a Nurse (skill set) & apply for PR. Saturday, February 04, 2006 My boss has resigned & that has caused quite a stir in our Department.We had only suspected he might have resigned as he was not his usual self. First, he gave out angbaos to those who have yet to be married. I was surprised to receive the angbao as my boss is known to be quite "stingy" & my colleague has told me this is the 1st time he has given angbao to staff, since working there for about 5 years. Second, he had sort of become "bochap"after the LNY break....so we had an inkling he is leaving the company soon. But today has confirmed the truth as the Recruitment section of the papers had advertised for the position. My closest colleague & me felt kind of sad that our boss is leaving as he's a nice boss. He gave us lots of freedom in our work, doesn't have the manager's air & is willing to help us, no matter how small the matter is. I hate changes. So now we are worried who will be our new boss. I really hope it will not be a female boss. Well, we all know the thing about female bosses....hehee. Working with a new boss means adapting to his/her style of work & if he/she would be as nice as the former one. So now, I can just keep my fingers crossed & hope for the best. Wednesday, February 01, 2006 The story continues...So I conducted the internal investigation for Girl B last Friday (before CNY) & she vehemently denied she took the $ nor altered the Found Item form. Girl B was quite agitated when questioned.....which made it worse for those of us who suspect it was her who stole the money. As usually, a person who is guilty would usually behaved 'aggressively' & try to pretend that she is not the culprit. She even claimed that she wanted to call the police herself, to prove that she's not the one. I doubt she has the guts to anyway. Probably just a threat to scare us. Anyway during the conversation, I found another loophole & is at least 90% sure, Girl B is the culprit. But since she denied it & we do not have a hard evidence (besides an altered form), we can't 'convict' her. So right now, the rest of the staff has become very wary of her & dislike her even more. If I have a choice, I'd sack this Girl B right now before anymore unhappy incidents happen. |
