chocolate is always good.do you know when i would buy chocolate: 1.when i feel happy. 2. when i feel down.

okay, spamming my own blog. that's it for tonight!

you know, after being alone(most of the time) for 7 weeks, i think i can do it. loneliness is profounding and i embraced the feeling.

Chris told us that there might be Tokyo and Seoul trip this year.i really really really want to go for either one but..

saw this quote fb :

"The true beauty of a woman is her inherent ability to make a man better in every way."

maybe i'm being too nice...

When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. Your life's span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainty. Live for today: During this day you should pray with a wakeful heart, recite the Qur'an with understanding, and remember Allah with sincerity. In this day you should be balanced in your affairs, satisfied with your allotted portion, concerned with your appearance and health.

Organize the hours of this day, so that you make years out of minutes and months out of seconds. Seek forgiveness from your Lord, remember Him, prepare for the final parting from this world, and live today happily and at peace. Be content with your sustenance, your wife, your children, your work, your house and your station in life.

So hold that which I have given you and be of the grateful. (Qur'an 7: 144)

You must engrave onto your heart one phrase: Today is my only day. If you have eaten warm, fresh bread today, then what do yesterday's dry, rotten bread and tomorrow's anticipated bread matter?

If you are truthful with yourself and have a firm, solid resolve, you will undoubtedly convince yourself of the following: Today is my last day to live. When you achieve this attitude, you will profit from every moment of your day, by developing your personality, expanding your abilities, and purifying your deeds. Then you say to yourself:

Today I shall be refined in my speech and will utter neither evil speech nor obscenity. Also, I shall not backbite.

Today I shall organize my house and my office. They will not be disorderly and chaotic, but organized and neat.

Today I will be particular about my bodily cleanliness and appearance. I will be meticulous in my neatness and balanced in my walk, talk, and actions.

Today I will strive to be obedient to my Lord, pray in the best manner possible, do more voluntary acts of righteousness, recite the Qur'an, and read beneficial books. I will plant goodness into my heart and extract from it the roots of evil such as pride, jealousy, and hypocrisy.

Today I will try to help others to visit the sick, to attend a
funeral, to guide the one who is lost, and to feed the hungry. I will stand side by side with the oppressed and the weak. I will pay respect to the scholar, be merciful to the young, and reverent to the old.

O' past that has departed and is gone, I will not cry over you. You will not see me remembering you, not even for a moment, because you have traveled away from me never to return.

O' future, you are in the realm of the unseen, so I will not be obsessed by your dreams. I will not be preoccupied about what is to come because tomorrow is nothing and has not yet been created.

`Today is my only day' is one of the most important statements in the dictionary of happiness, for those who desire to live life in its fullest splendor and brilliance.

Don't Be Sad - By Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni (A Few Excerpts from the Book about Happiness)
i just realised that my dad bought this book sometime ago but in malay though.

my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

so yesterday was the first time i had to network. it was solely for a class assignment and it doesnt seemed practical when there are 80+ students and probably less than that of professional people and that each of us had had to get 8-10 namecards each.

initially i thought it was so stupid, but at the end of the day, i find it useful. in the future, i might need to network.anyway, i met one guy who works in Thomson Reuters who studied degree in mass communication in NTU. if i would like, i would spend the entire night talking to him.hehehe.
somehow, i think networking is fun and tiring, cause we need to constantly talk and come up with something to talk about.well, i think as an extrovert, i enjoyed it quite much.

ps/: hammie, it is not all about looks. in the long term, if the person is good looking but the personality sucks, then it's not worth it then. i think to me, is all about confidence. if you have confident, it can take you far :)

i'm liking the new timetable.no school on friday means longer weekend for me, if there is no work to do of course but that is very unlikely.

i don't know why but the fact that you are always smarter than me irked me. i don't know why, but i feel the need to prove to you that i am just as smart.is this the feminism side of me?that i can be as smart as you? maybe. i feel so challenged and i have never feel so challenged with anybody else. you make me want to be smart, do you know that?it is funny how i began to realize after the heated argument we had.it made me wished that i had dumb boyfriend instead.hahah. but i am thankful.you always blow my mind.always.i admit defeat. you are indeed smarter than me. you don't make me feel stupid.i make myself feel stupid.thank you for the very beneficial argument we had.hahah.

school starts tomorrow. Year 3, here we come. better armed ourselves for we will be battling throughout the entire year. (gosh, i sound like hidayat)

time to borrow some books!!!!and dvds!



ps/: 3 more weeks to K's ORD!

the week has been quite tiring, hot, lonely and most importantly the most-experienced week i ever had. not only i had to deal with plumber, carpenters, electrician,painter,cleaner,doorman, varnish guy and client, i had to be in-charge. i spent almost 4 days and a half over-seeing the whole process of handover(where the renovation job is done and the house is ready for the owner to live in).i was glad to be away from the office and avoid any awkwardness with my supervisor.i even exchanged contacts with a carpenter and he said he'll give me a discount when i do my own house.hahah.

okay, so 5 more days and we're done. see you girls next week~
