Rented Room

I remembered I used to bunk over at my ex-bf rented house during one season back then. His was. A very comfortable 3 bedroom HDB, with the nice kitchen and living room. There are times when he and his fellow countryman would cook their hometown dish in the nice big kitchen.

I can’t do that *sob* *sob*
Big *sob*

Okay, actually I can, it’s just that the bed is 3 steps away and really the last thing I want is for my bed to smell like the kitchen.

I am more than capable to cook but no way am I going to handle that man.

Anyway, it’s a couple of days over. Started with a glorious day, everything happened within a week and I’m kinda overwhelmed. But that’s for me to know.

It feels like I’ve gone back to pre-Internet times, you know when h
Tv is the only entertainment and you call or SMS friends to remain in contact.
Or perhaps visit the playground or whatever waterhole to hangout.

Good Lord… ‘Cept that there ain’t no playground or waterhole here, and well, at times getting back to the room is one of the best thing. So anyway… I guess I’m already overwhelmed by the stimulation in the work place.

Anyway… I love my bed…

Def because there feels like an affiliation, that he teaches number, he teaches kids to recognize numbers.

This thing cracks me up, dunno why. When we move the mechanic up and down, the skeleton moves as well, in-tune w the sound effects. 😀

Flamboyance

Leave a reply

Got reminded of my past and how I was during my Polytechnic days.

The glory days that I started NYP Pals. 😀

(This isnt the works during my season, picked it up from online).

So anyway,

I remember I was in Year 1 and there was this project that we had to do with the Year 3 students.

That season was a time when I was out there, flamboyant as a flamingo.

I remember this particular incident when I was helping my classmates to keep the door open.
Standing very close to the door, I kind stretched my hands over my head to keep it open.

That was a season when the manifestation of the flamboyance stamped from the hurt I felt, was recovering from in a defining moment of my life.

and the Year 3 students gave me good. This particular female was going “WAh, you see see, see how she holds the door, got style one k!”. It was flat out teasing. not in a nice way.

As I revisited the events, I remind myself, dont ever tease people,

Because you dont know what they are going through at that moment of their life. 🙂

I am not offended. 🙂 But looking back, this is a good take back.

Dont.
If you have nothing good to say, keep your mouth shut.

The List

Leave a reply

Image kinda small here, download it here

The last 2 paragraph translated with my limited mandarin capabilities:

Always remember, never put a weight on people’s love and emotions. Because what you see as hard and difficult might be very easy and simple for them to get through. What you see as incompatible, they don’t really care about. There is no compatibility in love and emotions. There is only suitability. Not everyone can find that desired one, but everyone will come upon that suitable one. When we come upon that, all the complicated list of requirements would be discarded. Noise would quieten down, become simple, and no list or requirement will suffice to qualify them. You don’t need effort or tricks to hang on to him, and he would leave you neither.

Standards and requirements are prepared for the one you do not love, when you chance upon someone that makes your heart beat, the standards are not standards anymore. There is no reason or rhythm to it, like you have no idea why someone would have you up and about for so many years, those emotions and feelings have no reason. You love her, but you don’t know why.

Long Time

Leave a reply

Patience.

Wah… I think this is a very long season of learning and understanding Patience.

But I think with the new lessons, comes the new provision to get through.

I never use to need to wait at all, I usually get what I want, when I want it. Or I’ll just go out and get it.

But this season, it doesnt seem to be so.
Everything is just long suffering, slow, and refusing to arrive. and as it, its not within my control. 😀

I was quite “oky…” with a friend who always tell me, “its okay, slowly, we have a long time to learn that. we have a long time to do this, we have a long time to do that.” I always wanted to pull my hair out.

Cos seriously if we dont treasure now, or make plans for things to happen, what happens when its gone? What happens if someone just pass away, what happens if its a fleeting moment?

Obviously the person is much older than me.
Guess thats the problem with people of my generation. We want it fast, we want it now.

My dad’s Class 5 Driver’s license is 34years now.

A country is established by people’s work experiences (and innovations of course), not someone’s 3mins excitement.

A family with children is established based on a relationship of 2 that has lasted and will continue to last.

Knowledge and understanding is gained on years of reading and learning.

The light bulb is invented after not once, twice, thrice or even 4 times of failure, but multiple times, through a long period.

A good broth takes hours to brew.

I realize, a lot of things, needs time to prove itself, a lot of things need time to come true.

As Pst Phil pointed out in Impatience

BUT, James 1:3 declares that the time to exercise patience is exactly when you dont want to – when you’re under pressure.
If you develop patience and become great at waiting and coping and putting up with … everything … you will be “complete and entire, lacking in nothing’ (verse 4)

We dont always get what we want

Leave a reply

Ultimately, what is the purpose in life? We know it is not the chase for richness, it is not the chase for success, but what is it?
Those are great, if not them, then what?

I dont know it all, but I know, these are by-products of achievements.
And, purpose in life is a by-product of achievement. In my opinion.

Because its only when you achieve then can you have the ability to be more than you, a person.

We know life is unfair.
Was it fair to those that encounters natural disaster? Was it fair for someone else along the roads that was been apportion a sad deck of cards in life (although it is still for them to work around).

Everyday as we go through life, its about the people around us. Its about how we can reach out and facilitate other people’s life. Caring, Sharing, Empowering. Within your abilities, capabilities.

Making it easier for the people around you to get by (but definitely not along the line of letting them take the benefit for granted). Spreading that kindness.

Why, because life is unfair. We dont always get what we want.

Phil Pringle – Leadership Files, Impatience

Many problems you face will come from impatience – shortness of spirit.
Impatience makes you do a thing several times, instead of once slowly.
Impatience makes you miss the wisdom that comes from waiting and thinking before acting.
Impatience makes you lose friends when they frustrate you.

Because of impatience you will lose control of your temper.
Impatience is a short spirit.
If you’re a person with a short fuse people will avoid you.
You will scatter instead of gather.

BUT, James 1:3 declares that the time to exercise patience is exactly when you dont want to – when you’re under pressure.
If you develop patience and become great at waiting and coping and putting up with … everything … you will be “complete and entire, lacking in nothing’ (verse 4)

Go for it. Be a patient person.

Self-assurance

Leave a reply

From GALLUP Business Journal:

Self-Assurance is similar to self-confidence. In the deepest part of you, you have faith in your strengths. You know that you are able — able to take risks, able to meet new challenges, able to stake claims, and, most important, able to deliver. But Self-Assurance is more than just self-confidence. Blessed with the theme of Self-Assurance, you have confidence not only in your abilities but in your judgment. When you look at the world, you know that your perspective is unique and distinct. And because no one sees exactly what you see, you know that no one can make your decisions for you. No one can tell you what to think. They can guide. They can suggest. But you alone have the authority to form conclusions, make decisions, and act. This authority, this final accountability for the living of your life, does not intimidate you. On the contrary, it feels natural to you. No matter what the situation, you seem to know what the right decision is. This theme lends you an aura of certainty. Unlike many, you are not easily swayed by someone else’s arguments, no matter how persuasive they may be. This Self-Assurance may be quiet or loud, depending on your other themes, but it is solid. It is strong. Like the keel of a ship, it withstands many different pressures and keeps you on your course.

I think…
Ultimately, self-assurance is sexier than sexy. More secure than confidence. Keeps one alone but not necessary lonely. Makes those who possess, attractive to those who dont.

N one ponders, is tt the yardstick of a complete person?
Does that then write off the need for companionship of a person?
Do 2 self-assured person make for a perfect relationship?

Was discussing with friends and continued the intellectual debate with myself (yes, my brain is very busy 😀 ) and I kinda gathered something.
I think while we seek companionship, it is not like needing that companion to complete ourselves.

Its more like in every phase, in every societal setting, they are multiple roles that needs to be fulfilled in-order for the phase to be considered as whole, completed.
That being said, you need two whole persons, or self-assured person to be in a relationship.

Aint got no perfect relationship ladies gentleman. Because you can perhaps get a self-assured person to back down and come to an agreement, a compromising situation in-order to be on par with the other self-assured person.

Whatevcr the ho, whatever the hey, it is important to be open, and be whole as a person at the same time.

two very thick topics put together. 🙂

The Leadership Files – Ps Phil Pringle

“If you only do what you can do, then you’re only ever going to do what you can do!

But, if you start to do what you cannot do, you’ll find you can do what you cannot do.

And what you absolutely cannot do, God will do, or a team of incredible people will, who are attracted tot he person attempting to do what he cannot do.

Don’t imagine God will ask you to do what you can do!

He asks you to do what you can’t do.

Then you’ll need Him to do it!

But you’re the one who starts the impossible dream.

No one, not even God, gets inspired by the mediocre.

Attempt the impossible, ignore the critics, attract the best and accomplish the unbelievable!”

I found this a helpful thought from a risk-taking leader.

I love it – Now I want to live it!
