a love affair

starting to get chummy-chummy with my new clgs... and one of the first things they asked me was if i'm attached. seems like they have nothing else to talk abt. it's relationships whole day long! neeways, after knowing that i'm still single, they all start to suggest that i get to know all the available chinese guys from our sales channels... (what abt that Tan? oh, kenot same surname ar? then Lee also ok wat... if not how abt Quah?) apa lar...

but dunno y, dun seem to have much interest in that area anymore. *gasp! am i beginning to lose interest in guys??? hmm... dunno lar... maybe i was badly burned... 3rd degree burn? feel really numb abt the whole affair. and a little phobia too... just not in the mood for love at the moment.

maybe next week lar... hahahaha!

neeways, just to share something i commented in mico's blog, in her entry which is also on love:

stargal:
read this in a book:
"i still love you, but i'm not in love with you anymore. love is what's left when being in love has gone, okay? it's when you care about someone and you hope they're happy, but you're not under any illusions about them. maybe that kind of love is not exciting and passionate and all those things that fade with time. all those things that you're so keen on. but in the end it's the only kind of love that really matters"

mico:
i tot to be in love is wat's matter and wat's keep the relationship going isn't it wat we r looking for to be "in love" n not just love?

stargal:
i think 'in love' here is a relationship with all the rainbows, flowers, honey and all those sweet stuff. like honeymoon lar. but how long can those things last? it's the LOVE that'll sustain a relationship till the end. like when u're 40 y/o, u look at ur hubby with pot-belly in a dingy ole singlet, sweating in the garden... and u still feel love for him.

the prayer...

found this hilarious thing displayed at my clg's cubicle:

Dear Lord,

Grand me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people
I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today
as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me to always give 100% at work…
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
16% on Thursday
9% on Fridays

And help me to remember…
when I’m having a really bad day,
and it seemed like people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only
4 to extend my middle finger and dare them to bite me.
Amen.

If Only I Knew

received this in the e-mail today...

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray to the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
and certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike.
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss.
And you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear.
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

stress!

gosh... my new job is so stressfull! i'm beginning to doubt my own abilities. am i right for this job? can i do all those things that are required of me?

and i've yet to get my own cubicle and pc! i have to wait for the current corp. comm. gal to leave b4 taking over her cubicle and pc. luckily tomorrow's her last day. not that i'm happy to get rid of her, but it's really very difficult to really get into the working mode without a proper work station.

and already they're dumping more things for me to do! it seems like multitasking is THE thing in this new company. *sigh...

anyway, i've finally decided to stop my freelance job. i dunno how i'm gonna get by without the extra cash, but i'm determined not to go back to that. it's way too time-consuming and that bit**y supervisor is getting on my nerves! way too demanding!

so now i'm finally able to relax after a hard day's work - not that the time for relaxation is much, as i need to go to bed early. but i'd rather take that time to relax n unwind than spend it typing away like some crazy woman. what for tire myself like that rite? really meaningless...

oh, took a day of mc the other day, coz some itchy red spots appeared on my legs, esp the back of my thighs and backside. it looked like mosquito bites but it's really big n itchy, n it's only confined to my legs. doc's verdict: may be due to some allergy. my verdict: may be due to sweat. coz now i need to walk over to the lrt station, so of course will sweat a bit. then i'll be sitting in that clothes the whole day in the office n i think that caused the spots. anyway, hopefully the medicine the doc prescribed will work. it's not so itchy now...
