Just sharing some great quotes I have been reading:

“ A beautiful face and great body will never substitute for an ugly attitude and a hateful heart”

“ Ladies: Showing a great amount of skin when you dress up isn’t the way to find Prince Charming. Prince Charming likes his gifts wrapped.”

“ You got to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, because most of life’s lessons are learned because of pain.”

“ During bad times when things get worst it only means you’re closer to a breakthrough. Things sometimes get worst before they get better.”

“ Don’t allow yourself to wake up with yesterday’s issues troubling your mind. Refuse to live backwards, see everyday as a new chapter.”


The 3rd quote have got to be one I agree with the most. It is what I have always been telling people and what I live by. Though many of us hate experiencing hurt, suffering and pain, it is really what will make us stronger. That is why I always find people who constantly choose to let themselves drown in their own sorrows and wallow in self-pity are exactly the kind of people who are not strong mentally and are most of the time immature. I’m not saying you can’t cry, be depressed or feel sad, you can, but pick yourself up afterwards and move on. Don’t depend on your friends all the time to pick up the pieces for you because you will never learn anything that way.

I’m really glad for everything that happened. From a failed relationship, to finding new one and going through really tough times, because everything that happened have helped me to become a stronger and better person. I am really grateful to God for everything. For showing me all the support and love I have all around me.

As for the fourth quote, I really hope things will get even better for me and dear soon. Don’t get me wrong, things have improved a little, but more is needed to get better.

Anyways, I’m a little brain dead today. So just going to end here. Hee..

Lost.. with no directions...

Haven't updated in awhile. Nothing much happened. Dear started working at his new job already, but he is not loving his job at all. The company is really disorganised, with no proper system. Always coming up with last minute changes and last minute rules. You can't even take medical leave half way through work if you are not feeling well. No urgent leave even if something comes up last min and they operate by a 'fine' system, if you do something wrong, they fine you $10 each time. The GM in the company can't even speak proper english and half the time people can't understand what he is saying. Worse thing is when the GM shouts vulgarities when he lectures a employee. I always felt it was really bad to work under a boss that don't know how to treat their employees right. Just cause you are the GM does not give you the right to treat your workers like dogs. Overall, the company is not very transparent about things. But even with all these negative things about the company, dear is persevering and will leave after he finds another job. I'm proud of him, he wanted to give up and just hand in his resignation letter after the first day of work, but he didn't and i'm very proud of him for not doing so. I really hope P-serv will get back to him and give him a chance to try out the job position they were offering. He really deserves this break in life.

As for me, my own GM didn't get back to me on my request. Honestly, i'm quite disappointed in him. Got to know from my colleague that he haven't even got about to talking to the marcom manager about my preposition, but he has the time to walk up and down to catch people for being late and chit chat. I don't know what next step to take. =( I have been applying for jobs, but not a single reply. I do not understand why people must put all these expectations of customising cover letters for every job to fit the employer, because people seriously do not have the time to do such things especially when you are still in between jobs.

I was considering if i should go back to studying and get a degree if i do not have another job by the time my contract is up in end May or should i just continue to look for a job, which is going to be hard because i will be fighting with all the degree grads and most of the employer's expect at least a degree for the job position. =(

Dear God, thank you for everything you have given me. Please continue to show me the way and help me make the right decisions. Help my dear to be able to get a job he loves and will enjoy doing.

A better future... i hope...

Dear accepted the job offer.. even if it is temporary, till he gets the job he is currently working hard to get at the moment, it is still better then nothing, cause he will finally have income coming in.. Which means better days for us! Yay! =D And the pay for the job is pretty good too. Hopefully we will be able to lead a comfortable life while repaying all his loans as well.. at the same time, i hope he gets the job he is aiming for. Then he'll be able to have a life-long career.

Aside to me, my GM still haven't get back to me yet. =/ i think i will need to find time to talk to him again.. i really hope i can get the position i am aiming for. I really want to stay, not only for the experience and to learn new things, but also for the friends i've made here. Hai...

Dear God, please continue to bless us and watch over us.. allow us to be able to reach our goals...
