Farewell
This a ‘good-bye’. You will be in my memories, thank you for the journey and your profound company. You have certainly left your footprints in my heart. Farewell til’ our path cross again. Take Care.

I have some questions and I know, soon, I will have answers.
I hate myself missing you or trying to think how you would think or say about things. I hate I have a such strong urge to call you, wanting to talk to you, knowing that you might have chose to forgot me.
I wish to see you. May I see you.
I feel delicate when I think of you.
The moment when you consciously note to yourself that you have more to lose, you start to have debts to life. You trade down freedom, you compromise passion. You become the slave to your own good.

Sometimes, I wonder what you see that I can’t see…
R,
How are you?
I’m back in KL for a project. Just dropping you a note to say ‘hi’. There were a few times I wanted to write to you and call you, but I know the timing is not right, yet. You are my deepest conscience, judgement and sometimes, ego.

Looking back to look forward….
12 years of my most precious youth, young womanhood and motherhood in Malaysia has had its losses and gains, ups and downs, happiness and disappointments, laughter and tears ….
12 years in a foreign land, it was not all that easy, especially for such young innocent girl from mainland China, coming all alone. Along the years, I fell, I hit rock bottom, and I missed some great opportunities…....

Something to share..
I don’t agree entirely and certainly it’s NOT the only way… but it does show us a way of ‘managing’ ourselves ..
The Only Way to Get Important Things Done
“How can I get 7-8 hours of sleep when I’m with my kids from the moment I arrive home, and I need some time for myself before bed?”
“How can I find time to exercise when I have to get up...
Thank you for the last lesson.

If I find my pace, I think I can run forever.

a quote of the day
Words don’t have power to hurt you. Unless, the person who said them means a lot to you.
So. This is the end.
No one can shake up my feelings and emotions like this. He is the first man. And he will be the last. I will not allow this happen again - hate it when the emotions taking over.
So, this is how it ends. I am … profoundly sad. I loved him. His mind … was a part of me.
A thought
Al has gone back to Scotland for 4 days now… I don’t miss him… in fact, I don’t even feel I need him….
Sigh… I am worried, is this how I am going to feel when I am in Singapore….?
The only bond is Archie, I let him know whenever Archie asks for his daddy.
a conversation
‘You know what?’
‘What?’ I asked.
‘You are the only one who smile to people in the office. And not only that, you smile with your eyes!’
‘Really, didn’t notice that … now you make me all self conscious!!’
A call at a late night...
Woke up by a rushed phone ring while I was having a bad dream in the middle of the night. Al’s dad called, Glenys, my mother in law has admitted to hospital… She had one lung and that one and only lung now is infected.
Tonight is critical.
Al is … crashed. ‘Be strong darling, you need to be strong and have faith, try to put other emotions aside’ I said to him,...
’…Remember, to fight when you’re not afraid is nothing. Not to fight when you’re afriad is also nothing. But to fight when you’re afraid, that’s everything.’

One of great advantages of being the only child is that they learn how to enjoy their own company.
This is a very important skill even for us adults!!

Self-Discipline is not being control or repress your needs.
Self-Discipline is about making sure you can achieve what you made to achieve in the most effective way; it is about keeping your mind clear and willing to see through what’s true and what’s temporary; it is about emphasis on ‘what you will’, not ‘what you can’.
a note to my son
Everytime when I have you in my arms, I feel so … complete.
I love you more than my life, my son.
Qual
‘Qualitative Research is usually exploratory or diagnostic. It no attempt is made to draw hard and fast conclusions. It is impressionistic rather than definitive.’
…. I didn’t know what to say, didn’t expect this at all…I feel just as grateful working with my team and my company…

You are my partner, a good partner. But that’s it.
I need you.
I will need you even more.
Sweetheart? Now I know how to ‘earn’ the right to be called ‘sweetheart’ by you.
Who am I kidding.
We Feel Fine →
We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.
Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the...
quote of the day
“There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.”
Anaïs Nin
We grow, including the intellectual and the spiritual, without being deeply aware of it. In fact, some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is what is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or person who explained it to us, that we were in fact...
Can I do it.
Enough is enough.
a decision
So, I’ve tender my resignation and informed a few close friends about my life changing decision.
‘Are you excited!’ they asked. No, I am not particularly excited. In fact, I have some doubts. My answer often would be ‘As I grow older, the decision is no longer about whether if it’s right but whether if it has least compromises.’
Some even think this is a way...
I’ve learnt two very powerful words today - Glocal and Chindia.
A thought
I notice something, my Indian colleagues/clients like to use the word ‘sexy’ to describe something good, you will often hear them saying, ‘this concept is sexy’, ‘this idea is very sexy’…. then, I think to myself, how do they call the sexy women in India!
a question
what is the link between ‘clarity’ and ‘balance’?
what is it..
I can feel my blood rushing through my veins, my heart’s racing, my left eye’s twitching, the anticipation of standing in front of these 100 odd marketing professionals to ask a question made me experience a sensation that I have never experienced before - the feeling of extreme nervousness, not beyond just nervousness - fear, self consciousness.
I’ve never been afraid of public speaking or...

Never knew the feeling of ‘everyone wants a piece of me’ can be this hard. All these responsibilities, these roles.. sometimes, I just want someone to take care of me… I want to be taking care of, just once in a while, is that too much to ask?
I don’t laugh at your jokes is because I have sense of humor.

Quote of the day - ‘Facebook = reputation’
A perception.
So be careful with what you want to be perceived, as brand, as a company, as an individual
