Hair for Hope 2011?
I'm seriously considering doing the Hair for Hope 2011.
I have toyed with the idea of going bald in secondary school, due to the fact that I was thoroughly stressed there.
No worries, I'm not stressed at work here, neither am I going to undergo a drastic change because of huge swings of emotions. It's just a matter of getting a heartfelt wish settled.
Maybe a change of hairstyle would do me good for my luck as well?
Hair for Hope would take place in July. Let's see if my mood is still there when Jul11 rolls about! ;)

Actually
It's time to let go.
We had great times, great memories, but unfortunately, we don't have great trust.
You didn't trust to tell me, and now I can't trust that whatever you say is the truth.
It was a pleasure meeting you, but it's time to go our separate ways.
Actually, if you ask me why I can't trust - take a look at the photos that was in your recycle bin.
The dates whereby it was taken was in 2010 - What can I say?

I Don't Know
I don't know to be sad or glad.
I'm glad that you went to get the page(s) back.
I'm sad that you have lost a friend because of this.
I'm glad that you try your best to reassure me.
I'm sad that your reaction to the incident is not what I have expected.
I don't know whether to be sad or glad that this has happened, because I don't know what will happen next.

Taking things slow
Sometimes it is just not possible to jump back into a pool after almost drowning in it.
To overcome the fear, one way to get back into the pool would be to take things slow - toe dipping, wading into the pool, and a slow submission into the pool again.
In a relationship, if there has been a misunderstanding, of course it would take time to get things back to normal.
Both our definitions of taking things slow are definitely different. For me, it's taking one step at a time, not spending more time with you until I am more comfortable with you. That simply translates to things like not spending the whole day with you, or staying over at your place. And the way you translate it is that I am putting a distance between us.
If you think that it feels like I'm being a stranger, yes I agree.
If you are thinking now that whether there is another reason why I don't wish to stay over at your place, it's just very simple: You promised to get back the passport page within these two weeks, and if I spend time over at your place, how are you going to do so?
If you feel that my equating of the situation between us as a muscle which has snapped, or undergone tremendous trauma is inappropriate, I apologize, but that's my take on this.

Validation
Check this out: Validation
It's true, don't everybody need validation? If there's someone who is a sincere validator, I bet the business would be a booming one! But then again, won't money change everything?
I love T.J. Thyne, aka Hodgins from Bones... And I LOVE Bones!! (Ok, this is totally random)

Condition or Reassurance?
Well, apparently you don't visit here.
If you say that my asking of the emails or sms or call records is as a condition of our reconcillation, what are you trying to imply?
You might think that it's a condition, why not think of it as a form of reassurance or validation?

Forgiveness is one thing; Reconciliation is another
Ok, this post is lengthy, but helpful. Origin here.
It is common for those who have been seriously hurt to feel hesitant about reconciling with their offenders. When your offender is genuinely repentant, however, it is important to open yourself to the possibility of restoration. Remember, Jesus spoke about reconciliation with a sense of urgency (see Matthew 5:23-24). If you are hesitant to reconcile, work through the ten guidelines on the next pages.
It is common for those who have been seriously hurt to feel hesitant about reconciling with their offenders. When your offender is genuinely repentant, however, it is important to open yourself to the possibility of restoration. Remember, Jesus spoke about reconciliation with a sense of urgency (see Matthew 5:23-24). If you are hesitant to reconcile, work through the ten guidelines on the next pages.
- Be honest about your motives -Make sure that your desire is to do what pleases God and not to get revenge. Settle the matter of forgiveness (as Joseph did) in the context of your relationship with God. Guidelines for reconciliation should not be retaliatory.
- Be humble in your attitude -Do not let pride ruin everything. Renounce all vengeful attitudes toward your offender. We are not, for example, to demand that a person earn our forgiveness. The issue is not earning forgiveness, but working toward true reconciliation. This demands humility. Those who focus on retaliation and revenge have allowed self-serving pride to control them.
- Be prayerful about the situation -Jesus taught his disciples to pray for those who mistreat them (Luke 6:28). It is amazing how our attitude toward another person can change when we pray for him. Pray also for strength to follow through with reconciliation (see: Hebrews 4:16).
- Be willing to admit ways you might have contributed to the problem –“Even if you did not start the dispute, your lack of understanding, careless words, impatience, or failure to respond in a loving manner may have aggravated the situation. When this happens, it is easy to behave as though the other person’s sins more than cancel yours, which leaves you with a self- righteous attitude that can retard forgiveness (i.e. relational forgiveness). The best way to overcome this tendency is to prayerfully examine your role in the conflict and then write down everything you have done or failed to do that may have been a factor.” (Ken Sande, p. 168). Such a step, however, is not suggested to promote the idea of equal blame for all situations. (See: Matthew 7:1-6) (Italicized words added).
- Be honest with the offender -If you need time to absorb the reality of what was said or done, express this honestly to the one who hurt you. Yet we must not use time as a means of manipulation and punishment.
- Be objective about your hesitancy –Perhaps you have good reasons for being hesitant to reconcile, but they must be objectively stated. Sometimes, for example, repeated confessions and offenses of the same nature make it understandably hard for trust to be rebuilt. This is an objective concern. Clearly define your reasons for doubting your offender’s sincerity.
- Be clear about the guidelines for restoration -Establish clear guidelines for restoration. Requirements like restitution can be clearly understood. Others include financial accountability, holding down a job, and putting away substances.
- Be realistic about the process -Change often requires time and hard work. Periodic failure by an offender does not always indicate an unrepentant heart. Behavior patterns often run in deep channels. They can place a powerful grip on a person’s life. A key indicator for change is the attitude of the offender. While you may proceed with some caution, be careful about demanding guarantees from a person who has truly expressed repentance. If the person stumbles, the process of loving confrontation, confession, and forgiveness may need to be repeated . Setbacks and disappointments are often part of the process of change. Don’t give up too easily on process of reconciliation. Keep the goal of a fully restored relationship open.
- Be mindful of God’s control –“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). “We know that God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). “When you are having a hard time forgiving someone (i.e. being restored), take time to note how God may be using that offense for good. Is this an unusual opportunity to glorify God? How can you serve others and help them grow in their faith? What sins and weaknesses of yours are being exposed? What character qualities are you being challenged to exercise? When you perceive that the person who has wronged you is being used as an instrument in God’s hand to help you mature, serve others, and glorify him, it may be easier for you to move ahead with forgiveness (i.e. restoration)” (Ken Sande, p.165;cf. Hebrews 12:7;I Pet.2:23b; 4:19). (Italicized words added).
- Be alert to Satan’s schemes -In Ephesians 4:27, the apostle warns about the possibility of giving Satan an opportunity in our lives. Significantly, this warning is given in the context of unchecked anger. A few verses later, the Apostle wrote, ” Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 4:29-5:2). Meditate on these words and put them into practice! (See also: II Corinthians 2:14; Hebrews 12:15).

What is forgiving and forgetting in a relationship?
What is forgiving and forgetting in a relationship?
1. Forgiving is allowing another person to be human for faults, mistakes or misdeeds. Forgetting is putting these behind you; they are no longer brought up and no longer remain a barrier to your relationship.
2. Forgiving is letting another know that there is no grudge, hard feelings or animosity for any wrongdoing. Forgetting is the lack of further discussion, with no ongoing negative references to the event.
3. Forgiving is letting the other person know that you accept as genuine the remorse and sorrow for actions or words that hurt or disappointed you. Forgetting is promising that this deed, whether of omission or commission, will not be brought up again.
4. Forgiving is accepting the sincerity of penance, sorrow and regret expressed over a grievous personal offense; making it sufficient to clear the air. Forgetting is your commitment to let go of anger, hurt and pain over this offense.
5. Forgiving is giving a sign that a person's explanation or acceptance of blame for a destructive, hurtful or painful act is fully accepted. Forgetting is the development of a plan of action between the two of you to heal the scars resulting from the behavior.
6. Forgiving is the highest form of human behavior that can be shown to another person. It means being vulnerable to being hurt or offended in the future, yet setting aside this in order to reopen and heal the channels of communication. Forgetting is is also a noble human behavior; it is letting go of the need to seek revenge for past offenses.
7. Forgiving is the act of love between you and a person who has hurt you; the bandage that holds the wound together long enough to heal. Forgetting is also an act of love; in rehabilitation therapy, helping the wounded return to a full and functional life.
8. Forgiving is the God-like gift of spiritually connecting with others, touching their hearts to calm the fear of rejection, quiet the sense of failure and lighten the burden of guilt. Forgetting is the God-like gift of spiritually touching others' hearts with the reassurance of a happy and full life with no fear of recrimination.
9. Forgiving is the act of letting go of temporary ill will, disappointment or the disgust that arises from the break in your relationship. Forgetting is bridging this gap in the relationship, eventually strengthening it against such a break in the future.
10. Forgiving is an act of compassion, humanity and gentleness by which you let another know that he is indeed a child of the universe upon whom a variety of graces and blessings have been showered and that current or past offenses need not be a barrier to goodness. Forgetting is the act of encouragement, support and reinforcement by which you assist the other person to rebuild, reconnect and re-establish a loving, caring, healthy relationship with you and the world.

Chances
I am not sure.
Like what you said - if trust is not there, it is very hard to continue.
But I would like to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt as to whether I am wrong or right.
Taking chances is what I like to do. I took a chance one year ago. And now? I don't know.
But still, I miss you.

Beware of Garbage Trucks
Beware of Garbage Trucks By David J. Pollay
How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive colleague ruin your day? Unless you're a robot, you are bound to blow your top off. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he or she can get back his or her focus on what's important.
Sixteen years ago, I learned this lesson. I learn it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happen.
I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So, I said, 'Why did you do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now called, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'.
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. If they happen to dump it on you, don't take it personally.
You just smile, wave, wish them well, and moved on. You'll be happier if you did that rather than fight them.
So this was it: 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'.
I started thinking, how often do I let garbage trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the street? It was that day I said, 'I'm not going to do it anymore.' I see garbage trucks everywhere and everyday. I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know they have to welcome their kids home from school with hugs and kisses. Teachers and parents know that they have to be fully present and at their best for the people they care about.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?
Here's my bet. You'll be happier.
So...love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe that every thing happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, TAKE IT!
If it changes your life, LET IT!
Nobody said it would be easy...
They just promised it would be WORTH IT
Cheers!

Proof
Is there any proof that you can show me to settle my heart?
Give me peace of mind, or just kill me with a blow.

Somebody kill me!

Perfect 10
Today's 10 Oct 2010, some might say that it's the perfect 10.
Having lived through 01-01-01 all the way till 10-10-10, and I guess at least 12-12-12, I'm sure that people do things on these easy to remember dates.
Today may be a 'nothing special' day or it may be a 'to be remembered forever' day. Which of these applies to you?
Me? It is memorable, in a way. How? I'll let you know when it is the right time.

Hey Gorgeous!
This is one of the times that I wish that I have enough money to spend just like that *snaps finger*.
Yes, it is something that I have my eye on again: The Mont Blanc Patron of Art Limited Edition - Queen Elizabeth I! The pen is inspired by Queen Elizabeth I (and thus the name, of course).
There are two editions available - Limited Edition 4810 & Limited Edition 888, and guess which one I prefer?
Look at how gorgeous it is!
In case you do not know, of course I prefer the red version, which is also the Limited Edition 888, which has a total of 888 pieces in circulation.
According to this website, it costs S$12,110 each.
Of course, I would and I did look for alternatives, and the price that I have been quoted is US$6950 (approx S$10,425) - I get to save S$1685 (or approx S$1000 if I so suay and kana taxed)! Hmmm...
A pretty sum for a pretty pen, how about a pretty pen for a pretty lady?

Oktho-K Contacts?
I dislike contact lens! Not because I have to clean them and all, but just that my eyes get dry whenever I wear them for extended hours.
I know that there has been hard lens available that cause the myopia to not worsen, but instead reduce myopia, and now, I finally know the name -Orthokeratology aka Oktho-k.
Now, this is the use of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, normally worn only at night, to improve vision through the reshaping of the cornea. So no contacts in the day time - no dry eyes! Unfortunately, it's also quite costly, I read that it costs about $1800 for a pair of such lens, and one would have to undergo quite a few checkups.
Not just that, but the lenses would require replacing every two years, and replacement lenses cost about $800 each time!
I must take a deep breath - no big spending (or so I say). Watch out to when I say I have gotten the lens! Lolz...

Bad debt
My blood pressure is rising, slowly but surely it is.
If you have promised to do something important, especially something which is critical (which reads MONEY, in case you do not know what it is), please make sure that you do it.
I have had friends and ex-friends who borrow money and disappear into thin air.
If you are that kind of person, please, for god's sake, do the both of us a favor and get the hell out of my life!
If you are wondering, yes, I am chasing payment for some bad debt.
And yes, I know where you live. There would be a possibility that you would have an unwanted guest if you do not pay me the money like, now?!?

I hereby repeat
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: TALK IS CHEAP.
Make whatever you say materialise, and I would then believe you.
Otherwise, it would be all what you plan, what you were prepared to do etc. It's all in your mind.

True love is...
I read the following from the noel "I Do (But I Don't)" by Cara Lockwood and would like to share it with you:
Because true love isn't about sheet music or embossed invitations or lace. It isn't about the size of your bridal party or the expensiveness of the food. True love is what you find when you aren't expecting it. True love is taking the risk that it won't be a happily-ever-after. True love is joining hands with the man who loves you for who you are, and saying "I'm not afraid to believe in you."
A love like that has legs. A love like that will survive most anything.
As a world whereby there are no longer lifetime guarantees in anything (at least not much things that people would not claim, for), I do believe that true love is a gamble! = )
What about you?

I'm 75% wise
Just went for my wisdom tooth X-ray (actually I have gone for it once before, but I did not ask for a copy of the X-ray.
I have got to remove 3 of my wisdom tooth, two of them impacted and one that is a case of 'might as well remove since I'm removing the rest'. The total cost? Approx $1300, which is fully covered by Medisave.
I plan on going under general anesthesia, which would render me totally unconscious and so the dentist can dig the teeth out. But now as the hospital did not have any slots in the month of Jun10 (damn), which means that I can't claim the 5 days of MC from my current company, I had arranged for the operation to be done in October, which would allow me to use $1000 of the dental claim from my new company.
But now I'm reconsidering - whether to wait for another 4 months, or should I just go ahead and use the $1k from my Medisave and save on MC? Hmmm...
I actually think that the X ray photo is quite cool, don't you agree?

Royalty Tighens
It is this kind of articles that make me wonder: Are Singapore ministers taking too much from the citizens?
Or should they take a pay cut or align their salaries with the other ministers of other countries to be more fair?
Or maybe they should just take a pay cut to 'redistribute to those lower down in pecking order'?

Ungrateful Bastard
You sure are one ungrateful bastard!
I am proud to say that I did not take advantage of you, but can you say the same for yourself? Maybe I'm just dumb enough to do that, but at least I don't do the guilt trip.
You are a piece of shit!

Unhappiness
What do you do if you are faced with something that you don't like?
Solutions:
1. Ignore it
2. Ignore it
3. Ignore it
4. Walk away
Still want me to continue? Why else would you still want to be around someone or something that makes you unhappy? Or even better, ask things that you know will make you unhappy?

Phone Test-BB 9700
I am currently testing out the Blackberry Bold 9700, courtesy of Ripplevox and StarHub.
With the data cost being absorbed by SH during this trial period (actually they just gave us complimentary Maxmobile online, which allows unlimited data download without busting the bill), I have been facebooking, checking email (both work and personal), Blackberry Messaging like all the time.
This is the very first time that I get my hands on a BB and try all the functions. Granted, I do have friends with BB (curve, bold, storm 2), but would you like try all e different functions on your friend's phone? Usually I would just try how the keys feel, and how smooth the programs switch between each other.
But I digress. The 9700 that I'm holding onto is like fantastic! I am able to do most of the things that I do on my computer except Restaurant City, or neopets.. :p I have yet to try mobile banking, but I shall revert with it's ability to do it or otherwise (I believe that it can)!
PS: I am blogginh this from the 9700! :)

Do you want to be a TV?
Read this interesting piece, and I thought I would share with you:
I guess with everyone being self-absorbed and being so busy with other matters instead of those that really matter, we do neglect the ones that we are supposed to be the closest to.
Is there anyone that you want to be a TV to?

New Toy - Teeter Hang-up Boots!
Nope, it's not my new toy. I cannot buy any new toy for myself for at least the next half year.. =(
Baby has wanted a pair of inversion boots (aka gravity boots) as he wants to relieve the tension that he feels in his back. But due to that fact that he has to take care of his family, his house and his princess, as well as the fact that the boots costs about S$300 here, he has put off buying these boots for quite some time.
So, step in Miss Shopperholic - yours sincerely. While looking to purchase OPI quick-dry for my nail polish, I googled for these items (actually baby asked me to do so - I'm now a personal PA too). Since I have to ship my items back to SGP, so why not purchase these (and some other things) for him? =P
Baby is so pleased with his present, take a look at this:
A gleeful boy with his toy... =)

Poisoned
Just met up with Lucy for dinner the other day, and I've been poisoned by Lucy!
Don't worry, it's not the food that was poisoned, neither was I jabbed with some poisonous stuff. It's more of a lustful kind of poison. No - I'm not lusting over her, but rather, her LV ZIPPY COIN PURSE!
Look! The object of my (Current) Lust:
And the other options available:
I personally prefer the Canvas version, as well as the Vernis Amarante version... However, I had just recently changed my wallet to a apple red Braun Buffel due to the fact that my classy Pierre Cardin has fallen apart due to the many cards and receipts that I slot at the bills compartment.
Decisions decisions decisions... I guess I'd have to head down to the LV flagship store to see if it does call out to me again! Or hopefully someone can get it for me? The price is about S$455, so maybe I'll have to ask my friend who's overseas at the moment if it's cheaper in the States and to get it if it is? =)

Obsession
Ok, I admit. I’m obsessed. Not in the unholy spiritual way, neither is it in the male crazy manner.
I’m obsessed with Spotty! Spotty was given to me on 21Feb10. Since then, he has been to various places, and enjoyed the company of quite a number of people.
And I present to you… (drumroll) SPOTTY~ Wheet!
He's just so cute, don't you agree?

On Being A Quarter Century Old
I’m officially half way of being termed as a spinster. Of course this would not happen if I get hitched or something, but that would be something that I cannot control.
Anyway, I had a quiet 25th birthday celebration. Went to The French Stall located on Serangoon Road with Daniel. Actually, he was with me the time the clock struck 12. Darl, as always, was the first to wish me a Happy Birthday… =)
Just in case you can't deduce what my dearest Daniel Cai got me for my birthday, it was a pair of rings - the pair of earrings as shown above! It's my first Lee Hwa!
This year’s celebration was quiet (as per compared to last year), but I do enjoy this celebration!

Horrendously Busy
In case you're wondering, no, I am not giving up on blogging, just that it has been horrendously busy like nobody's business over at the work place.
Reason? One of the landlords want to take back his unit. It s said that the tenant below (the 四川 restaurant) wanted to take our space. And due to the probability that the landlord has a share in the business, they are chasing us out.
Due to this, I had to do the following:
Now we have decided a place, signed the Tenancy Agreement, but I must say, the new landlord is comparable to the one that chased us out. Now is just waiting for the renovations to finish, finalize and move in!
To both the landlords who are 'unfriendly': Karma will befall on you, don't worry. It'll all come back to you.
I'm dreading the moving back in part again! Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I won't have to stay back late like the last time round!

Due to this, I had to do the following:
- Call for agents to search for office space
- look around Chinatown area for vacant spaces that we could move the whole/part of the operations to
- Source for alternative places
- Arrange for viewing
- Arrange for contractors to quote for restoration of the to-be-vacated place
- Source for temporary storage space
- Source for packers (reliable and cheap, more importantly, cheap)
- Staying back to supervise the movers (Together with my boss, and stayed back for 3 nights till 3am, 5am, and 4am, resulting in very bad eye bags and eye rings)
- Have quite a fair bit of discussion with the property agent that we have engaged (This was actually recently)
Now we have decided a place, signed the Tenancy Agreement, but I must say, the new landlord is comparable to the one that chased us out. Now is just waiting for the renovations to finish, finalize and move in!

The Perfect Bling
Sometimes I just want to kick my own ass for not making up my mind fast.
Guess what I let slip through my fingers this time round?
A 0.66 flawless totally colorless diamond at only S$9,675! Which means that the per carat cost is only S$14,659!
It would have been a great investment piece, and I swear that if I had bought the diamond right away when I saw it, I would not be kicking myself now! *ARGH*
Why did I say it would be a great investment piece? Just simply cos the price per carat is like HALF of the rest of the same kind of diamonds on the site? And a colorless and flawless (not just Interior Flawless) diamond that is that cheap, it would have been so rare!
Take a look at my perfect bling that caused me so much heartache:
Prices of other diamonds with the same color and being internally flawless as well:
Can you believe it? When it comes to splurging items like a few hundred to thousand, I would be able to splurge... But when it came to this, I DARE NOT. Chicken eh?
I swear, if I had gotten this diamond, I would not buy any other diamonds as this is THE ONE for me.
