and just drunk a bottle of yakult. now sitting here relaxing watching sister act 2 showing on tv. today's class was okie... exams was okie too... although i had made 3 mistakes but it was careless... but who cares anyway i passed it can already. tat's all it matters here.

anyway, tmr's another exam on biz class... damn this time is gonna be 25 theory qns... and i've missed out the first few tips questions.... tat's even more shitty. had a called from bloomberg today.... asking me why i wanna join them and telling me abt the job scope. damn, wrong timing of the call. but anyway i went to answer it. the best part was i FORGOTTEN to take down her contact number etc. and i was hoping that she will email me or something cos she doubled confirmed with my email addy. oh well, im still waiting... hope she can get back to me.

missed my baileys... dreamt of it hehehe... and of cos dreamt of rc too. been dreaming of him pass few days too... he has been working really hard and been really busy. i really wish i could be there to help him along, but what can i do... think im really being overly sensitive sometimes... and is driving me nuts... oh well, tat's also another reason y i wanna head back home to sg so i can also meet up with my frens and bring my sanity back.

my conclusion is if i do not have a bf in sg, i will continue with my job here... at least i wun be thinking of missing anyone other than my own family. but when having a bf back in homeland and having a long dist. is quite taxing at times. and trust plays such an important role. and with me being the overly sensitive one. gosh... god knows what can happen. sometimes i really hate myself for being too sensitive at things. pls i need advise on this issue, can someone pls help me...

i know, my cuz said got to keep myself occupied... yea but sometimes when alone is really hard to be occupied and u'll tend to day dream and think rubbish... so do throw in all kinds of advise and help me with this stupid problem i have...

something to share with u guys...hope u will like it, it was forwarded by a fren. i find it so true and it really keeps u thinking...

TRUST

Trust is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to
suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated,"PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry , I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and
requested I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest."

The officer listened carefully and replied, I understand you need television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could beanother man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus,do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son as happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Hope u guys enjoyed this as much as i did, it helped me to understand what is needed to have a healthy and enhancing relationship. do share it with ur parnters yea!

i love u loads rc! hugs n kisses...
