i asked my guardian angels for a sign last night, to show me a miracle and i got it! :)
as i got into my frd's car last nite, i had this idea that if i can meet one more singaporean in KL, randomly on the streets, then "coincidences" can happen for me too. after dinner at some roadside store, just as i was crossing the congested bukit bintang walk, i saw alvin driving past and he saw me too! See, so randomly, i got my miracle!

More personality test results:

The idea of togetherness, love, warmth, tenderness and mutual understanding fascinates you but you seem to be embarrassed by the thought of allowing this to appear openly. It would appear that you employ a cautious exploratory tactic in the pursuit of this objective, making sure that you are neither irrevocably committed nor found out.

Always anxious to accept the role of the leader, as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.

Enough is enough - but the problems never seem to stop. They never stop. You feel, and maybe you are right, that the problems seem to go on and on and you have indeed had more than your fair share of trials and tribulations. But to give you credit - you bounce back time and time again - you stick to your beliefs because deep down you have that inner knowledge, that 'belief' system that in the end, everything will turn out OK - and you are right -it will!

You are an emotional, sincere and impressionable individual experiencing frustration and unnecessary stress. You vehemently resist any form of pressure from outside sources, insisting on your independence as an individual. You want to be a decision maker - to make up your own mind without interference. You wish to be able to draw your own conclusions and arrive at your own decisions. You detest uniformity and mediocrity as you want to be regarded as one who gives authoritative opinions. Your favourite expression could well be that 'I may not always be right but I am never wrong'. You're a perfectionist and even though you may feel that the other person's point of view may be right, you find it extremely difficult to admit that you could be wrong.

It is strange that the anxiety that you are experiencing at this time is of your own making simply because of your desire to be respected by your fellow man and with those whom you work with. You are not satisfied. The normal congenial 'you' is becoming quite introverted. This is becoming increasingly more obvious because you seem to shy away from participating in everyday activities. You are refusing to allow yourself to become involved or to participate with others and it is the reluctance to communicate that is the inherent cause of your problems.

Very true... havent i heard certain parts before :)

i am loved by my friends... i am blessed with people who care for me, who are willing to coach and support me when i am down. it's okie to be down, but i must and will pull myself up. I know i have quite a fair share of "downs" ths year and some friends are bored with hearing the same old stories. I am sorry.

sob sob, my holiday is coming to an end... will be going back to Singapore tomorrow evening... and then back to reality on Monday. In an objective way, to truly enjoy and appreciate your break/holiday, you must feel that u "earned" it and deserve that reward. What you have in abundance is usually not cherished!

3 good things from this holiday:
1) Got to know my friends better
2) Figured my way around KL in one week
3) Read a book and wrote some stuff... sorted out some issues in the grey matter up there

I am determined to search for something good in every situation / experience

kuala lumpur is a really dusty place... i got more pimples popping out these few days when i'm hopping they will disappear after my event... aiyah!

i'm currently in K.L, enjoying a lazy morning at my friend's apartment near Sentral Station. Cup of coffee in front of me, Cartoon Network on the TV, laptop with broadband connection sitting on my lap as I sit on the comfy 2-seater sofa... this is life :) hey don't be jealous, i'm on leave and that's what people do when they are on leave.

in my "busy" schedule of eating and sleeping and shopping, a thought had been nagging me. Well, it was spurred by a friend's blog that she enjoy "Turn left, turn right". I watched the show too and i found it slow... and it's too fairy tale. I mean, how can things be sooooo coincidental???? And i would have thought that friend won't enjoy such a boring show. Anyway, the question i'm asking myself is "Have i given up hope that things can happen... and that there is a soulmate for you out there?" The belief that you will be with that special someone when the time is right. Maybe i have become so cynical that I no longer believe in that anymore. I remember i used to weep and cry my eyes out over movies like that... the "happily-ever-after" stories.

4 super-coincidental incidents happened in K.L. renewed that hope (talk about cosmic powers giving me a reminder!). 1) Friday nite: Found out that a diving pal, "uncle kenny" was at conference managed by my company last Monday... and i was there helping out!. We were at the same venue, same time but bcos i didnt bother to walk around the hotel ballroom, i didnt see him. And we found out we were at same space when we were travelling up to K.L. 2) Saturday nite: A new acquaintance's sister was my senior in JC. Cant remember how the conversation went but the strange feeling that "Arghhh, this can't be true that we can be connected in such a way!" - havent had that kind of feeling for a long long time. 3) Sunday nite: My roommate from Maldives trip emailed me out of the blue and we are now planning for a dive end of the year. I was feeling a little down on sunday and to get her email really really cheered me up. She is 10years my senior but she is one dynamic woman who inspires me. I recalled when i was first told that I'll be pairing up with "auntie" for the Maldives trip, before i met her, i was "worried" that i cant get along with her. Afterall, what do we have in common to talk about. But that trip was good... we stayed up at night to talk and everyone was surprised we "clicked" so quickly. In fact, i have been in touch with her more than some of the other guys who know her much longer. 4) Monday nite: Shopping at the fengshui store at Mid Valley Megamall, randomly flipped to a page in Lillian Too's "Discover Yourself" book and the title is "do you believe in coincidences?" It says something to the effect that if we should be consciously aware of the signs and the themes of the incidents that happened to us.

Okie, coincidences do happen... i guess it's also in line with my belief that "things happen for a reason".

Hi, i am back... missed me? :P
okie, that's lame but a gal has to do what she has to do to cheer herself up on a dreary Tue morning right?

My event last week went well... of course there were screw-ups to make it less than perfect (Murphy's Law) but I did the best i could so I'm ok about it. Yippee, my 1st event is over..it's over :)

I am now trying very hard to fight the -ve feeling after a particularly "bitchy" meeting that just ended. Basically, a draft agenda that i put together has been torn into bits and branded "messy" by a colleague who kept saying that she is technical trained and could have put together a better paper. Well, i didnt want to rebutt during the meeting cos it'll be unprofessional on my part to say so but i wanted to say "My boss thinks it's okie. Then u don't do your sales stuff and do this lor if you are so damn good!" I ended saying "I see what i can do within these 2 days before i go on my leave next week!"

Am i hypocritical or just getting more professional? Sigh, life is grey on many issues...

today i celebrate my last day as a "twenty seven"... from tomorrow, i am definitely in my late twenties... 2 more years of being in the "twenties" before i hit the BIG 3 *gulp*

Been really busy at work as my event is on next week. A bit scared cos this is my first event with the company and i am not very familiar with the venue. Colleagues are telling me that "Don't worry, your boss is there is help!" True, but i also want to be able to do this competently without any big mishap. Thank my guardian angels that this is a relatively small show so it's a good opportunity for me to learn the "operations" without being overwhelmed... Next year will be WOW! Will be handling 3 big shows at the same venue!

Tired... can't wait for my leave... any suggestion what to do in KL??
