~ Yes, it's monday .. *PPFFTTTTTT...!!!* the day all we employees do not look forward to .. well, this may be a wrong generalization but at least, it certainly applies to me .. sighs .. but on the other hand, i am glad that i still have a job to drag my arse to each and every morning ... ^^ .. hihihi .. Last nite, i finally had some excellent slumber time ... wakakakakakakaa ... i am pretty sure i almost slept the whole straight 10 hours .. went to bed at 9 and the rest of my nite was history ... LOL .. however despite the excessive sleeping i had, my body was still aching and my head was a lil dizzy when i got off bed in the morning .. i guess there's no such thing as enough when it comes to sleeping .. or perhaps i just had too much .. LOL .. apparently i was wasted from all the crazy, fun-packed walking i've been doing these past weekends .. but it was definitely so worth it .. woohoooooo *end of monday's write-up* ~

from canton with love .. LOL

~ Been anxious about composing my next posting but had troubles finding my own topics lately .. and here i am sitting on my office seat, staring into the monitor screen (like always), and reading an email from - let's just say - an old friend of mine .. wakakakakkaa .. as soon as tat msn mail alert came on, i was excited ... wooohooooo .. Being the curious george that i am, i was looking forward to his latest life updates and so i decided to send him a friendly email this morning .. it's been a while since we wrote each other .. and i tot he was busy with the job hunting ... surprisingly, he is NOT ... LOL .. anyways, he is doing pretty good down there in his colonies .. wakakkakakaka .. as usual, he always starts his emails with something, anything, that is soo hilarious .. i couldnt help but burst out laughing right in the middle of the office among my colleagues ... Ooopssss .. and those freaked-out/confused faces converge toward the center of the commotion, that is, me .. wakakakakkaa .. oh gosh, wat an afternoon .. hihihi .. all shenks to the joker for his stress-free email .. LOL .. i miss him tho .. he can be annoying at times .. but hey, we all can be a pretty good pain in the ass from time to time .. wakakakaa .. eniweis, good luck with ur "accidental mission" mate .. let me know the outcome k .. LOL ~

~ When i come to think of it again, maybe i should have known today is going to be somewhat wacky and different .. as per this morning, i yet again ran into another shocking incident in - guess what - the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission or sumthing like tat) bus ... so here's how it went down .. i was listening to Oasis in my earphones while sitting on one of the left window seats on the bus .. my eyes and mind were fully hooked on this new book tat i got .. btw loved it alot man .. ^^ .. maybe i'll tell u lads about it once i finished reading it k .. hihihihii .. anyways, there i was enjoying my long morning ride to work when the bus pulled to a smooth stop to pick up/drop off some passengers at one of the busy intersections .. out of a sudden, i heard this hard knock on the floor ... i thought it must some heavy bag dropped by some auntie or uncle or kid or u name it, we have it lah .. wakakakkakaa .. i couldnt see it properly at that time for it happened during the rush hour period when the clean oxygen begins to run out within as we, passengers, turn to potatoes in a sack .. sighs .. but tat's not the point here .. after a second or two, people started making some space right in the middle of the bus where a young female body lies passed out across the floor ... i was so close that i could vividly see her eyes rolling up ... "We have an emergency here! Excuse me!" said a lady .. i didnt know what to do .. i wanted to help her but i froze ... i was indeed in a state of shock .. "Leave her alone and dont touch her! She's passed out. But she's gonna be okay soon. Dont worry. ... It happens to me too sometimes." said a caucasian female passenger who came out of nowhere ... and she was right. The girl recovered less than 10 seconds later .. and apparently she didnt realize she dropped unconscious ... she sat down then the bus driver came up to her, making sure she was fine .. everybody was just staring and not doing anything during the entire incident .. sighs .. tat is so sad man .. more than anything, i am especially disappointed with myself .. i should have done something .. anything! sighs .. but wat's done is done .. today is such an interesting day tho .. oh yeah, tonite i am going for this cruise trip organized by my company .. hihihihi .. i am excited and i hope it can live up to my expectations .. yeah yeah yeah .. 4 more hours to go and i'll be cruising away .. wakakakakaka .. anyone care to join? LOL .. in the mean time, i can continue pondering on that last remark made by the lady hero-of-the-day: "It happens to me too sometimes" .. o_0 .. hev a good one peeps .. me out now ~ cheers

5 bola kehidupan

Bayangkan hidup sebagai suatu permainan ketangkasan, dimana kita harus memainkan keseimbangan 5 buah bola yang dilempar ke udara. Bola-bola tersebut bernama: Pekerjaan, Keluarga, Kesehatan, Teman dan Spirit. Kita harus menjaga agar ke-5 bola ini seimbang di udara. Kita akan segera mengerti bahwa ternyata "Pekerjaan" hanyalah sebuah bola karet. Jika kita menjatuhkannya maka ia akan dapat memantul kembali. Tetapi empat bola lainnya yaitu: Keluarga, Kesehatan, Teman, dan Spirit, terbuat dari gelas. Dan jika kita menjatuhkan salah satunya maka ia akan dapat terluka, tertandai, tergores, rusak atau bahkan hancur berkeping-keping. Dan ingatlah, mereka tidak akan pernah kembali seperti aslinya.

Kita harus memahaminya benar dan berusaha keras untuk menyeimbangkannya. Bagaimana caranya?


  1. Jangan rusak nilai kita dengan membandingkannya dengan nilai orang lain. Perbedaan yang ada diciptakan untuk membuat masing-masing diri kita special.

  2. Jangan menganggap remeh sesuatu yang dekat di hati kita, melekatlah padanya seakan-akan ia adalah bagian yang membuat kita hidup, dimana tanpanya, hidup menjadi kurang berarti.

  3. Jangan biarkan hidup kita terpuruk di 'masa lampau' atau dalam mimpi masa depan. Satu hari hidup pada suatu waktu berarti hidup untuk seluruh waktu hidupmu.

  4. Jangan menyerah ketika masih ada sesuatu yang dapat kita berikan. Tidak ada yang benar-benar kalah sampai kita berhenti berusaha.

  5. Janganlah takut mengakui bahwa diri kita tidaklah sempurna. Ketidaksempurnaan inilah yang merupakan sulaman benang rapuh untuk mengikat kita satu sama lain.

  6. Jangan takut menghadapi resiko. Anggaplah resiko sebagai kesempatan kita untuk belajar bagaimana menjadi berani.

  7. Jangan berusaha untuk mengunci cinta dalam hidupmu dengan berkata "tidak mungkin saya temukan". Cara tercepat untuk mendapatkan cinta adalah dengan memberinya, cara tercepat untuk kehilangan cinta adalah dengan menggenggamnya sekencang mungkin, dan cara terbaik untuk menjaga agar cinta tetap tumbuh adalah dengan memberinya 'sayap'.

  8. Jangan lupa bahwa kebutuhan emosi terbesar dari seseorang adalah kebutuhan untuk merasa dihargai.

  9. Jangan takut untuk belajar sesuatu. Ilmu pengetahuan adalah harta karun yang selalu dapat kita bawa kemanapun tanpa membebani.


Dan akhirnya ...

MASA LALU adalah SEJARAH,
MASA DEPAN merupakan MISTERI,
dan SAAT INI adalah KARUNIA.

Itulah kenapa dalam bahasa Inggris, saat ini disebut "The Present".
