Will be away at Ubud, Bali for a short while, back next week! Taking lotsa pictures so stay posted!!

What came in the email today

My colleague sent me this email today about Canadian humour ... well, wherever it's from, I think it rocks anyhow!!

On effective communication..





I wonder when this would happen to me (like me owning the car, not the car being taken away from me - duh!) maybe I should learn how to drive first.. heh




Well, He did tell us to subdue the earth .. kinda.. heh.. and this one I like!! the green one..



Attitude baby, Attitude!!

Got somemore.. I post another day!!

At times like these (ii)

Yesterday, in the office.. I was walking back to my cubicle from the toilet at 2330 when something caught my eye.



Close Up.



I think perhaps somebody is overworked leh. Sigh..

Learning English with Kern - prepositions and sayings

Everyone should learn English this way! I bet you won't forget your grammar!

Click and enjoy!



for those of you are wondering .. Kern is a really nice guy, he won't dream of doing anything indecent. Really!

I shop but I also have self-control

See what I got myself over the weekend.



I know. I know I said I shouldnt' have, but who would not succumb in the face of such colourful temptation at such affordable prices? Yup, I didnt stop at one, infact .. I got 3!!





Here, I put out nicely for you all to see.



Nice horh, look at the colours! I think it's great being female..

I mean, 3 dresses for S$69 is definitely a cause for celebration! I don't think my Financial Advisor will scold la. I went a little crazy initially, because there was so much variety and I wanted to try everything. But I am not THAT bimbo because I actually get tired of trying on clothes, and I dont try on clothes unless I intend to buy something - troublesome la. Heh.

BUT to be consistent, I shall not buy ANYMORE clothes for the rest of this month.. hahah (this month only got 2 days left)!! But I mean seriously, I won't get any more clothes for the month of november (my trip to Ubud is not included - Yah I going Ubud later this week), unless of course it's a really really good bargain?? Kiddin .. I won't get anything. Period. Resolutions are made to be kept, and not whittled down by qualifications.

But on this subject on self-control, I mean I joke about my apparent inability to control myself and keeping all these "I want-s" in check, but I actually do think I have self-control.

What IS self-control? Well, I think that it's the ability to restrain oneself - from the heart's desire. To curb, and to check. It's similar to discipline, which is like a routine we compel ourselves to adhere to, to achieve an order or a result. We all have self-control in varying degrees, like in the case of a student, when to stop playing computer games and start mugging, for the person on a diet, when to stop eating, you get my drift.

Part of the formula for success in life involves self-control, I mean desires are all well and good (I am game for a wild night or icecream or you-name-it most times) but I think the ability to deny oneself, in light of a greater cause or goal, is something that is worth building. If I may illustrate by a simple example, some youth are better able to succeed then others because they exercise self-control. o-i-love-gaming-but-i-wont-cuz-o-level-prelim-next-week-better-mug, instead of just piahing the game all the way.. and if you continue along those lines, see how that same youth may exercise self-control in other areas, o-i-think-this-girl-is-so-hot-i-cant-keep-my-hands-off-her, but he will, because he knows he doesnt want to get on the slippery slope of how far is too far and before you know it, Oh Oh! Pregnant! Byebye scholarship dreams!

(I am not negating the part values play in enabling this young manto keep his hands off his hot girlfriend .. values definitely help! Self-control works best, perhaps, only can work, in a matrix of values?)

I feel strongly that self-control is something that should be taught, from a young age. Human beings are able to will, i.e. choose. And the best time to learn how to do so is when you are young. Don't ask me how, I am not married with kids yet, so that subject is not getting alot of attention from me just yet.

For those who are askin: I can't post as frequently as I would like to. My ibook spoil.. keeps hanging.. I know! Where got ibook will hang wan..

Got. Mine lorh..
