Letter to my friend

Hi girl,
How's life? When you guys going to Singapore?
My final exam will end at 19Dec08, now still have 2 projects to complete...am feeling a bit tired and out of steam to complete it.
Argh...tired...just wish we can have more rest here, hate the competition in class. We are suppose to have fun learning...not stress right.
Today, one of the visiting professor ask us this normal but a questions that I have not been thinking about for sometime...and he asks us to answer in 5 second time.
1. What is your goal in life?
2. What is love?
Seriously, can anyone answer them seriously in 5 sec?
I am wondering about the questions why people are always not satisfied with what they have again.
Why the grass seems always to be greener on the other side?
How can we appreciate what we have more here and now?
Why do we always have to look forward to the future in anticipation?
Why do we always have to look backward for remisniscence of good time, good memories?
You must think I am crazy if I tell you I miss the time working...yea..the job and work we always complain about.
I miss the freedom felt after work, I miss the time we hang out and have dinner, soup or movie after work, complaining about our job and work.
Miss the time we go shopping during weekend...somehow, studying is a complete defferent thing, you gotta watch yourself even after school or during weekend...
It's been only 2 months, but I already felt so tired...maybe I am getting old and the zeal to become better or more successful is diminishing...it's scary sometimes...
Wish everything is allright at your side. You planning to visit Japan or US (since HT is going) next year?
I've decided to take 1 month off from school next spring break (March08), not sure yet if I want to do field study or research yet, but at this moment, I'm thinking of taking that break to travel.
If you have plan to go to US, maybe we can go together.
Take care girl. Merry Chrismas ya. Can't believe that year 2008 is coming to an end soon.
Jesus, time flies...
Regards,
xoxo

Why?

Am so tired now. Why? I don't know, just don't feel like doing anything but sleep. I can't do that but I am feeling that. Shit. Anyone have any cure for laziness?

Today in class, one professor want us to think about these 2 questions and answer them in 5 seconds:-

1. What is your goal in life?
2. What is love?

No, it is not philosophy class, it's knowledge management class.
I can't answer them in 5 seconds. I just wonder why people always do not appreciate what they have until it's gone and why does the pasture in the other end always looks greener?

Talking in class

I really miss my friends...I want to go home. I felt that my effort in doing my homework and assignments were wasted. I've spent the whole night finishing up my assignments but unable to utter a single word in the class. huh...it sucks! I tell myself that it does not matter as I know that life is not fair and we will not always get the chance to speak in class and it's really a stupid thing to do to lose my self-confidence because the professor just don't want to hear what it's in your mind.

I guess 27 years of living to my best and always has been my best has faced a road block here, not because I'm lazy, less intelligent or something but it's the same thing as happened in our everyday life, that no men is an island, no matter how talented, how smart you are, if you are not up to the society par, what ever it might be defined as, example: rich enough, pretty enough, lucky enough, know enough people, articulate enough, social enough, you are not likely to make it to success by your own effort. It is possible, just harder and take longer time.

I'm tired of this feeling. I just want to go home now and don't feel like doing anything. So what if I prepare like hell? Sleep for 3 hours? I'm not going to get any fucking A coz I have to rely on other people to determine my grade. So what it I score for the rest of the 30% for mid term or final? The bulk of the grading still come from class participation, I will be laughing my way to the bank already as long as I don't get a C. Can I say this is introvert discrimination? They are trying to discriminate people who are introvert, don't have much confidence in speaking out in class and etc. I find that I didn't improve on my weakness and nor does enhance my strength...ahh...screw...

THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE

Lesson 1:


A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs .

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies .

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'


Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity .

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff!: She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'


Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'

The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.


Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story:
B *l l S ** t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there...


Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter.. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who s # its on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of s # it is your friend..

(3) And when you are in deep s # it, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Have a pleasant day


Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of
what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in
your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that
you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking
in your relationship that you WANT And believe me, 20% looks really
good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good
80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something
better with the other 20% that you WANT
But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with
having the 20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED
and that you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.



Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow,
this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider
features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also
understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is
not'

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more
charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have
greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you
and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have
80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband
or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic
by nature.

You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh
no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha . . ..'

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling
of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales
representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high
heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet
type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame
who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all
the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have
weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a
couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The
wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you
already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!

About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks
through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's
missing? 'They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in
porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got
personal videos!'

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your
life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do
you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable
in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The main message???

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are,
you are first class!

Have a pleasant day

mobile

The domestic phone-bill was exceptionally high.

This prompted the man of the house to call for a family-meeting after dinner.

Dad :

People, listen carefully, this high usage of our telephone is unacceptable.

You have to limit the use of it.

I do not use the home telephone at all, because I use the one at my work-place.

Mum :

Same here.

I hardly use our home telephone as I also use my office's telephone.

Son :

Me too.

I never use the home phone.

I always use the mobile provided by my company.

Then they all looked at the foreign maid.

Maid :

So, what is the problem, huh ?

Don't we all use our work-place telephones ?!!!
