..my battle stance..

I wish we can just play it simple and sincere. I wish we don't have to play, honestly. Just heart to heart.. with all their honesty. Because I don't want to miss this.. not because of some games of vanity. Sincerely.

well.. seriously, I think I need to get together with the fantastic four to strengthen my conviction now and then. though we can't no longer call ourselves fantastic four nowadays. yeah.. just some random lines. in the month of sept. just like some random scream and shout that can be heard from inside my  couple housemates room now and then. no.. it's not 'that' kind of scream. this is almost like a yelling kind. dunno what went on inside.. but the couple always come out smiling. so i guess it's just their way of communicating with each other. or maybe some married  couples can give me enlightening. coz my another single housemate looked as puzzled as i was that night when we were sitting at the living room and suddenly the wife yelled inside the room. you know.. that kind of 'Big Bang Theory' boys kind of look. oh yeah.. in case you have a single girl friend who have not found her soul mate, do consider my housemate. he cooks, he cleans, he ...

It's one of those days. Unexpected conversation. Tough questions. Shaken. I wish you were here. Even if just to smile at me quietly.

never knew they were making movie for my favorite series. aha.. xie an zhen is back! this series is as good as it gets when it comes to storyline and characters. the finale.. of course.. will answer the one question everyone were asking as the series ended. is xie an zhen going to reunite with her guilt ridden husband or is she going to start anew with her charismatic boss? well.. i know my preference. but i'd rather stay quiet.

for ages the one thing I would hear, 95% of the time, when I introduce my name is.. "oh.. what a common name". haha. so I was surprised when this person that spoke to me today made a remark. "btw you got a nice name... it means God's beloved". it makes me smile somehow. yeah.. as common as it is.. I do love this name. and a certain Judah king being the man in the bible I aspire to be the most (Jesus excluded), I wouldn't have it any other way either.

one point that John Maxwell pointed out in his book was the principle of trading up in life. you see.. in life we make decision after decision. whether it's career switch, or relationship commitment.  whether it's decision to get married, or to stay single. whether it's to move to another church or city. well.. what we, as human, naturally want is to keep whatever good things we have as we move onto the new situation or position. but the reality is, something gotta give. you probably get quick promotion in your career.. at the expense of your relationship with colleagues and time with families. with each climb we make, we have to trade something valuable away. the principle of alchemy. you cant have it all dear friend..

Just want to say that I am grateful. Thank God.. He is indeed our Jehovah Jireh. If anything... the journey for the last four years have taught me to rely on Him for my daily bread.

when all you care about is for your heart not to break, where could I post my longing to?

Mikitani, the founder of Rakuten whose article I mentioned before, is a neat freak. One of his uncompromisable principles is for each of Rakuten staff to have a neat desk with minimal presence of.. er.. anything. That would enhance work effectiveness, he argued. Well.. that's true.. I believe. But for old friends who have seen my desk at our NUS halls, or my desk now, they would know that I am the Rakuten's antithesis. I have lotsa things on my desk. And during our english course days when I first came to sg, my friends would call my bag a magic bag. Because I always had difficulty in finding things inside. I simply had too many things there. I am sure with some instilled discipline, I could make my desk and bag neat. But.. somehow that would be the case of losing your identity, I feel :D coz.. I think there is place for people whose creativity and imagination are liberated in the midst of chaos. somewhere, ages ago.. there must be some brilliant inventors or some...
