Bob Marley Says

I've always had a love for quotations. Just saw one of my colleagues making a note on this, and find it meaningful, hence I'm sharing it with you:

He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you can never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he know that you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there.

Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guy don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.



"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.


You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.


There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.


The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face.


In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.


You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.


You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Summary of 2010

2010 has passed, and now we're in the new year!

2010 has been a very eventful year for me.

The following happened to me:

1. Found a new job
Yes, I quit my job of 5 years. The company that I had joined since my graduation in 2005. The unhappiness has been building up, hence the resignation was necessary. Luckily for me, I found a job that I am currently very happy with - Great place, great colleagues, great professors that I'm supporting. A steep learning curve definitely, but I'm definiately up to it!
2. Underwent a surgery
In case you're wondering, it's not plastic surgery. Not that I need any plastic surgery (maybe except for a boob job), but it was a small break that I took at the end of my previous employment as I could not stand that company anymore! Got a 8 day hospitalization leave, and the leave that was encashed was used to buy a LV wallet.
3. Got lied to
Yes, Ignatius Daniel Cai lied to/cheated on/willfully concealed information from me. If you didn't hear the story from me, it must mean something, doesn't it?
4. Got picked up
2009 was on MRT, 2010 was on a bus. It was a wonderful 6 weeks. I wonder where it would be for 2011? Well, there's 12 months to find out! ;) Of course I'm not forgetting the food places!
5. Went on a holiday alone
I've been on quite a number of trips in 2010 (with the airfares being so affordable), but I went to Bintan in Dec10 alone. Yes, you heard me right, ALONE. But it's a good experience! All I did was to treat myself right, and I met great people there!
6. Death
My Hammie Baby died. I love you Hammie, RIP.

This list by no means is everything that happened to me in 2010, but I believe that I will have a more eventful (in a good way) 2011!
