So stay tuned, watch out and count down with me

To one of the wildest adventures in 2007.

We’re running on the highest gear.

I’m pulling up my socks,

And bracing for the best dash before year-end.

Breakaway – it’s bombastically awesome,

Clarice’s 21st birthday event (yea, not just a ‘party’ ohkaeyyy),

Seven fantastic Christmas celebrations,

At least two belated Thanksgiving bash,

A prospect permanent job at I’ll-let-you-know-again,

Countless pressie-exchanges,

Loads of good fun and surely, laughter and a few streams of heartfelt tears.

Lotsa love to give and receive,

And

One 16th birthday on the last day of 2007.

What’s yours gonna be like?

I think it’s not too late to end it well

If the past almost-11 months haven’t been smooth.

I tell you,

2007 has been the rockiest yet most victorious and memorable for me.

That’s the beauty of daring to live.

You simply roar-on, come what may.

‘Cos you know the only way his children grow,

Is nothing else,

But from

Glory to glory.

And from

Strength to strength.

Let’s give it up to him

By our best sprint forward.

I’m boggled by Communication Research

But tomorrow shall be the last lesson.

For now,

I’ve to go.

Just poppin’ by for a breather.

Catch you later.

I am painfully embarrassed by my photo albums in Facebook.

The pictures are mostly fuzzy and hideous.

ACK.

I’m shamefully dependent on my mobile 2mp camera

And I’m bent on coveting a better one soon.

For now, I’ll just make do

(I hope you will too)

Sunday’s beautiful by far.

Warm Camomile tea, thunderstorms, fan + airconditioner, quilt and quietness.

I love it.

Clarice stayed over last night.

And I couldn’t believe how she’d wanted to return to MacDonald’s after we’ve just returned from there.

Anyway, I followed suit.

The late night unfolded into hours of sweet-secrets exchange.

(hawhaw)

Talking about sweet,

I recall someone telling someone

That it seems like leaders don’t get married once they go on board.

I guess we’ve got to look at the bigger picture for the right answer.

Liz was telling me,

We hardly hear men (especially Asian),

Talk about wanting an intelligent woman for a life partner.

What d’you think?

To me, it’s true – by large.

For this (I’d say) majority,

It’s a sad exposure of their incompetence and fear.

That’s an utter ”I’m afraid I am not good enough.” attitude.

So maybe quite alot settle for the less educated and capable.

How fear mocks a person.

By deceiving how one would never be,

One should never dream.

The ugliest feature is truly deflated confidence and sore, domineering fear.

Don’t settle for less

If you can have more.

I guess what Carol say is correct.

You want an A,

You better be an A.

And I’d say,

If you think you’re no A,

Drop out of Pity Party,

And shape up

Or shape out.

 For Heaven’s sake,

For society’s sake,

For your sake,

Don’t let fear rob you

Of your destiny.

To some of us,

November and December are the busiest months.

But I must say,

I count it all a period of happy busyness instead of a dreadful burden.

I’ve an exam to sit for few days from now,

And several very-important work to complete

For a very-exciting-and-cool event.

(But between these stylomylo tasks,

I’m looking forward to the BBQ night party I’m having with my bunch of lovelies.)

So I’ll be excusing myself from here

Until Thursday.

You have an awesome mid-week.

xoxoxoxo

Val.

For maximum enjoyment

To read this blog,

 You need to read it aloud -

In your mind or heart.

Every word is crucial.

Every word is tailored for the words before and after it.

I’m committing the rest of the day to schoolwork.

I’ll be back later!

Clarice’s notes from the Business Breakthrough meeting with Dr Pringle

Was a positive pow-wow for a year end vision.

Check this:

The value of a person

Is determined by his ability to give.

That’s so powerful.

Taking it further,

I wrote that people who only get

Are, crudely but befittingly put,

Suckers who get

But will never be whole.

Dr Phil likened how a person

Connected to the Source can naturally benefit their environment

To a tree.

A healthy tree is capable of not just

Absorbing carbon dioxide,

But also convert it to oxygen.

Its leaves distributes fresh air to its surroundings -

Animals and people have fresh air.

The Earth receives water from rain.

Flowers bloom and colours the world.

Fruit produce and satisfy our appetite.

I want to be like a tree.

That is shock-absorbent in social catastrophes and society problems.

To bring peace to chaos,

To solve problems by wise counsel and solutions.

My life brings refreshment and comfort to others.

That I may have not just enough for myself,

But produce an overflowing abundance for others around me.

That I may bring colour to every dull place and person.

How do I be that tree?

I think all I need to do,

Is to stay rooted to my Foundation,

To continue receiving the water and Sun I need,

To never quit and keep growing.

These few days I’ve been an audience to a few events

That reminded me how I can walk out of happiness

When I lose focus of the right direction.

I like what C.S Lewis described this truth:

To walk out of His will

Is to walk into

Nowhere.

Literally, nowhere!

I can choose who I want to walk with.

Who I want to copy.

Who I want to learn from.

Will you walk with shortsighted people who honour the ways of the world,

Or will you walk with your Maker?

I realise the only way to ensure Happiness

Is to be at peace with Him.

We will NEVER be able to be at peace with people ALL the time.

We can never please everyone.

We can never convince people with our smartest arguments.

People are not impressed with what we know.

They are only moved by our sincerity, love and care.

Anyway, I have learnt how to manage my expectations of people.

You can give and love.

But not all the time, you’ll be appreciated.

I have seen several mouths that bite the hand that fed them.

So does this mean I should forget about giving and loving anymore?

I’d say I have no right to say that.

I’d be ashamed of myself if I dare to only receive and not give.

So I shall give and not expect.

If I am thanked and appreciated, well, I will be merry.

If I am not, I will be merry nevertheless

Because I have made my Giver glad.

My reward isn’t from men.

My reward is from my Giver.

I walk with him.

I obey him.

I do as he says.

And I am truly happy.

Oh I’ve got the job.

It’s gotta do with Korean western couture.

Whooo.

Before the interview,

I had a blast with my favourite bunch of people at home.

They have a miraculous ability of melting me up.
