Thanks to Jiahao for passing some meaningful articles to read. But I've just read this and i'm more interested in it. So shall share it with you guys...
It is natural for young people to fall in love as it is for flowers to bloom in spring.
And yet, the agonies of love are many and varied.
While everyone is free to fall in love or to be attracted to someone, and no one has the right to meddle in your private affairs, I feel it is also important not to lose sight of pursuing your own personal development. There are of course no rules on love and marriage, and no one has the right to restrict you in any way. But I hate to see young people getting involved in frivolous relationships, and suffering and agonising over them when they should be fulfilled and happy.
My mentor in life often said that when women act with dignity in relationships, problems can be avoided. Women should not have an easy-going, careless attitude concerning love, as this may lead to regrets and suffering.
Love should be a force that helps us expand our lives and bring out our potential with fresh vitality. This is the ideal, but all too often, people lose all objectives when they fall in love.
The question is "Does this person inspire you to work harder, or distract you from what you have to do? Does their presence make you more determined to devote great energies to your activities, to be a better person? Do they inspire you to realise your future goals and work towards them? Or is that person your central focus, overshadowing everything else?"
If you find that you are neglecting things yuo shoud be doing, forgetting your purpose in life because of the relationship you are in, then I would guess that you might be on the wrong path. A healthy relationship, is one in which two people encourage each other to reach their respective goals, while sharing each other's hopes and dreams. A relationship should be a source of inspiration, invigoration and hope.
Rather than becoming so love-stuck that you create a world in which only the two of you exist, it is much healthier to learn from those aspects of your loved one that you respect and admire, and continue to make efforts to improve and develop yourself. Love is not two people gazing at each other, but two people looking ahead together in the same direction.
Of course, much of daily life tends to be ordinary and unexciting. Making steady efforts to improve ourselves can be trying. And then, when you fall in love, life seems filled with drama and excitement and you feel like the leading character in a book. But if you lose yourself in love just because you are bored, and veer from your path of life, then love is nothing more than escapism. But sadly many people believe that this kind of love is the be-all and end-all, deluding themselves that as long as they are in love, nothing else matters.
Even if you try to use love as an escape, the euphoria is unlikely to last for long. If anything, you may only find yourself with more problems along with a great deal of pain and sadness. However much you may try, you can never run away from yourself. If you remain weak inside, suffering will only follow you wherever you go. You will never find happiness if you do not change yourself from within. Happiness is not something that anyone else, even a lover, can give you. You have to acheive it by yourself. And the only way to do so is by developing your own character and capacity as a human being, by fully maximising your potential. If you sacrifice your own growth and talent for love, you absolutely will not find happiness.
Purely for the sake of young people - particularly young women who are often very vulnerable to persuasion by young men. They can sometimes act as if they are stunned and lose their ability to make calm, rational decisions. Since young women are the ones who most often get hurt, they have every rights to assert their dignity and look after their own welfare.
It is precisely for this reason that I feel it is important for young women to develop inner strength and self-respect.
It is demanding to be constantly seeking approval. If you find yourself in a relationship where you are not treated the way your heart tells you you should be, I hope you will have the courage and dignity to decide that you are better off running the risk of being alone for the time being rather than enduring an unhappy relationship.
Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality. A shallow person will only have shallow relationships. If you want to experience real love, it is important first to develop a strong self-identity. True love is not about doing whatever the other person wants you to do, or pretending that you are something you are not. Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people.

Just went Friendster to surf ard since i'm so free.. Duno y jus went to c his profile and saw a new photo of dem - the blissful lovey dovey.. wish you all the best that you've found your loved one.

Just came back from a sumptuous dinner at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant at the TOP of UOB Plaza. Located at Level 60 of the bldg, mus transfer few times before reaching the actual floor (ie. from Basement take lift to Lvl 1, take escalator to Lvl 2, take lift to Lvl 38 and lastly take the other side of the lift to Lvl 60). Guess wat our sotong Meiyun says... we are now at Lvl 98 (38+60). Lolx!! duno wat she's tinkin at tat pt of time. The highest is only 62 lor..
Sadly, din bring camera go. Its at Meiyun's hse. Haiz.. No choice only can use HP to take photos le. But quality of cos nt beta den camera lah.. Really need to have a camera of my own. Comex show coming & mus get 1 if the package is abt the same.
It's really a happy & nice family gathering. But jus tat i'm the single & lonely one cos dey r all couples. so sad =( tok abt our 2D1N holiday to Batam, SIM open-house, Bro's ns life, tat guy etc..
Ok gonna watch the Lawyers wich Janet lent me.
11:10 PM
2:06 PM
I just came home. Oops.. Not tat i stayed out till so late. Actually this is my 2nd time coming home today. Haha!! Just went Changi Village wif cousin & cousin-in-law. Jus now 11+ she called asking me if i wana go out for supper. Actually i'm nt hungry cos my dinner filled up whole of my stomach. But duno y I still went wif dem. Anyway, jus had dessert. Aft supper, drove to c Ah-Gua but jus left 1 staying by the roadside wearing just her bra (No top). Cousin say her bust looks stiff. Like stone so hard. Duno will get injure if bang onto it. Haha!! Den she was toking to her husband abt ah-gua. cos dey r nt fully converted & who will go for dem & how dey going to do it? so many ???. but cousin quickly change topic cos she dun wana let mi hear. Haha!!
Ok toking abt my dinner.. Finally went to Ministry Of Food - My Izakaya @ MS Center Stage. We tot it mite be a very exp jap restaurant. So gonna check out the price 1st den decide. If too exp den we shall go have dim sum cos we are craving for xiao long bao. But the price there is reasonable & affordable. & the food is nice esp the dessert. Yummy!! It's much nicer den the Azabu Sabo. Next time shall ask the rest of E9 to go try oso. Moreover, OCBC staff got 15% off till end of Sep. So hurry.. However, thou the food is nice, but the serving time is very long. Long till Ms Lim wana scold ppl le but when she saw her Shiratama Kurian, her attitude 100% changed. Haha!! Aft dinner tot of goin M)Phosis to see shoes cos sales started today but by the time i reached there, it's closed. So sad :(
So tat will be the end of our Fri outing. & guess wat.. from far i saw someone looks like Weiling. Take a 2nd look, cfm she is & the girl besides her is Ying. So i stopped Hh fr walking futher to wait for Ying to spot us. & she was so excited. But she totally forgotten that I've msged her b4 to ask if she free to join us but she replied tat she's nt free. So sad & still accussed tat i din jio her. ~>.<~
Today at work was a relaxed 1. Sup on course, Asst Mgr on pm leave, Chief Exe having meeting, Japanese boss dun care us de so i'm surfing the net, msn-ing & chatting wif my col since morning. So Shiok!! Guess tis is the one & only time to be so relax le ba. Really enjoyed it & was looking forward to 5.30pm to go off.
Was thinking sld i take Logistics & SCM course. Business & Marketing is too popular & i'm not good at words. but i duno wich pvt sch offers a recognised degree for tis course. so search on the net & found some but not very famous. printed the brochures & shall pass to cousin for her recommendation & feedback.
Sis encouraged me to go study. Think of my future. Even if i were to stay single till old, at least i have a degree cert and can earn more den wat i'm earning now. If i dun study, i'll regret. But still, not knowing of wat & where to study is 1 prob. The other prob is $.
Sis told mama abt my thinking so mum just encouraged me to go study & she'll solve the prob. But the other prob i need to solve it by myself.
The day before yesterday, mum told mi the uncle who's helping her now wana work himself. if he really do it, how is mum going to cope the delivery all by herself? is it the end of the family business? how r their life like aft tat? the income which mi & sis taking home is nt enuf. & smmore bro is still in ns & will b goin Uni aft ord. It's all about money.
Stressed.. Dun wana think so much now. Pray hard only good things will fall on us.
Jus now heard Hh toking abt one of her friend's sister who was married to a lecturer. I really pity tat girl & hate tat guy. But wat she wana tel mi is tat: even if the guy is a gd catch, everytin giv in to u during dating, have a stable career & looks acceptable, it doesn't mean he'll be a good husband. Cos aft their marriage, he show his true colours. He's the mummy's boy kind. everytin oso listen to his mum. Selfish, earn so much but gave a small sum of mthly allowance. Even a $3 dinner oso mus collect fr his wife. Cos the mthly allowance sld cover all the daily expenses & baby needs. ANd the story goes.......... anyway he's jus a bad guy who dun love his wife & baby.
I really cant imagine there's such guy exists in this world. But i hope he's the only 1 in this world ba. Dun ever let mi have such husband. I tin my life isn't bad till tat stage ba.
So dun go for looks..
Oh my.. Did i tok too much? I'm getting slpy le. duno wat i'm toking abt liao. sld stop here NOW.
Nitey everyone. Tml shall upload the nice photos when Hh send me.
Stay tuned. To be continued...

Went to Subtle Senses @ Mosque St wif cousin aft work to do facial.. a very cosy n relax place & of cos the price isn't cheap lah. but i'm using cousin's package. Finished doing, went for dinner n back home. Next time we shall go for massage.
Rest of the weekday is as per normal.. But Thurs morning at work, heard a bad news. Our former chairman, current board of director passed away peacefully on Wed nite. He's staying alone in Sg, his son was in America, daughter married n staying in Jp. He divorced many yrs back. But glad to hear tat his god-daughter was wif him at the time when he fainted. He couldn't make it to the hospital. So the HR & other Japanese directors r busy helping out with the funeral. His family members (a total of 8 ppl) came over on Thurs. But withdraw the body etc takes time. Therefore the wake was only open on Fri. Aft work went over wif my colleagues. !st time attending Japanese style funeral. Duno abt their culture. But actually for gals should wear all black, for guys - white shirt & black pants, tie. There's many japanese came n true leh.. their dresscode. And dey usually will give 'bai jin' but for tis, no donation please.
Thou I c him few times in office, din noe him quite well but thru mouth of words, he's a very nice man who will treat everyone equally. His wake is open to public today til 3pm as his body will leave for cremation at Mandai at 4.15pm. His family will bring his ashes back to Japan n held a ceremony over there too.
The company secretary who jus resigned n went back Japan flew back yesterday immediately aft she heard his news. She was very grateful to him n he's jus like his dad. She's feeling terrible now. So sad.

You will never find happiness if you do not change yourself from within. Happiness is not something that anyone else, even a lover, can give you. You have to acheive it by yourself. And the only way to do so is by developing your own character and capacity as a human being, by fully maximising your potential. If you sacrifice your own growth and talent for love, you absolutely will not find happiness.
Purely for the sake of young people - particularly young women who are often very vulnerable to persuasion by young men. They can sometimes act as if they are stunned and lose their ability to make calm, rational decisions. Since young women are the ones who most often get hurt, they have every rights to assert their dignity and look after their own welfare.
It is precisely for this reason that I feel it is important for young women to develop inner strength and self-respect.
It is demanding to be constantly seeking approval. If you find yourself in a relationship where you are not treated the way your heart tells you you should be, I hope you will have the courage and dignity to decide that you are better off running the risk of being alone for the time being rather than enduring an unhappy relationship.
Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality. A shallow person will only have shallow relationships. If you want to experience real love, it is important first to develop a strong self-identity. True love is not about doing whatever the other person wants you to do, or pretending that you are something you are not. Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people.

Just came back from a sumptuous dinner at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant at the TOP of UOB Plaza. Located at Level 60 of the bldg, mus transfer few times before reaching the actual floor (ie. from Basement take lift to Lvl 1, take escalator to Lvl 2, take lift to Lvl 38 and lastly take the other side of the lift to Lvl 60). Guess wat our sotong Meiyun says... we are now at Lvl 98 (38+60). Lolx!! duno wat she's tinkin at tat pt of time. The highest is only 62 lor..
Sadly, din bring camera go. Its at Meiyun's hse. Haiz.. No choice only can use HP to take photos le. But quality of cos nt beta den camera lah.. Really need to have a camera of my own. Comex show coming & mus get 1 if the package is abt the same.
It's really a happy & nice family gathering. But jus tat i'm the single & lonely one cos dey r all couples. so sad =( tok abt our 2D1N holiday to Batam, SIM open-house, Bro's ns life, tat guy etc..
Ok gonna watch the Lawyers wich Janet lent me.
11:10 PM
2:06 PM
I just came home. Oops.. Not tat i stayed out till so late. Actually this is my 2nd time coming home today. Haha!! Just went Changi Village wif cousin & cousin-in-law. Jus now 11+ she called asking me if i wana go out for supper. Actually i'm nt hungry cos my dinner filled up whole of my stomach. But duno y I still went wif dem. Anyway, jus had dessert. Aft supper, drove to c Ah-Gua but jus left 1 staying by the roadside wearing just her bra (No top). Cousin say her bust looks stiff. Like stone so hard. Duno will get injure if bang onto it. Haha!! Den she was toking to her husband abt ah-gua. cos dey r nt fully converted & who will go for dem & how dey going to do it? so many ???. but cousin quickly change topic cos she dun wana let mi hear. Haha!!
Ok toking abt my dinner.. Finally went to Ministry Of Food - My Izakaya @ MS Center Stage. We tot it mite be a very exp jap restaurant. So gonna check out the price 1st den decide. If too exp den we shall go have dim sum cos we are craving for xiao long bao. But the price there is reasonable & affordable. & the food is nice esp the dessert. Yummy!! It's much nicer den the Azabu Sabo. Next time shall ask the rest of E9 to go try oso. Moreover, OCBC staff got 15% off till end of Sep. So hurry.. However, thou the food is nice, but the serving time is very long. Long till Ms Lim wana scold ppl le but when she saw her Shiratama Kurian, her attitude 100% changed. Haha!! Aft dinner tot of goin M)Phosis to see shoes cos sales started today but by the time i reached there, it's closed. So sad :(
So tat will be the end of our Fri outing. & guess wat.. from far i saw someone looks like Weiling. Take a 2nd look, cfm she is & the girl besides her is Ying. So i stopped Hh fr walking futher to wait for Ying to spot us. & she was so excited. But she totally forgotten that I've msged her b4 to ask if she free to join us but she replied tat she's nt free. So sad & still accussed tat i din jio her. ~>.<~
Today at work was a relaxed 1. Sup on course, Asst Mgr on pm leave, Chief Exe having meeting, Japanese boss dun care us de so i'm surfing the net, msn-ing & chatting wif my col since morning. So Shiok!! Guess tis is the one & only time to be so relax le ba. Really enjoyed it & was looking forward to 5.30pm to go off.
Was thinking sld i take Logistics & SCM course. Business & Marketing is too popular & i'm not good at words. but i duno wich pvt sch offers a recognised degree for tis course. so search on the net & found some but not very famous. printed the brochures & shall pass to cousin for her recommendation & feedback.
Sis encouraged me to go study. Think of my future. Even if i were to stay single till old, at least i have a degree cert and can earn more den wat i'm earning now. If i dun study, i'll regret. But still, not knowing of wat & where to study is 1 prob. The other prob is $.
Sis told mama abt my thinking so mum just encouraged me to go study & she'll solve the prob. But the other prob i need to solve it by myself.
The day before yesterday, mum told mi the uncle who's helping her now wana work himself. if he really do it, how is mum going to cope the delivery all by herself? is it the end of the family business? how r their life like aft tat? the income which mi & sis taking home is nt enuf. & smmore bro is still in ns & will b goin Uni aft ord. It's all about money.
Stressed.. Dun wana think so much now. Pray hard only good things will fall on us.
Jus now heard Hh toking abt one of her friend's sister who was married to a lecturer. I really pity tat girl & hate tat guy. But wat she wana tel mi is tat: even if the guy is a gd catch, everytin giv in to u during dating, have a stable career & looks acceptable, it doesn't mean he'll be a good husband. Cos aft their marriage, he show his true colours. He's the mummy's boy kind. everytin oso listen to his mum. Selfish, earn so much but gave a small sum of mthly allowance. Even a $3 dinner oso mus collect fr his wife. Cos the mthly allowance sld cover all the daily expenses & baby needs. ANd the story goes.......... anyway he's jus a bad guy who dun love his wife & baby.
I really cant imagine there's such guy exists in this world. But i hope he's the only 1 in this world ba. Dun ever let mi have such husband. I tin my life isn't bad till tat stage ba.
So dun go for looks..
Oh my.. Did i tok too much? I'm getting slpy le. duno wat i'm toking abt liao. sld stop here NOW.
Nitey everyone. Tml shall upload the nice photos when Hh send me.
Stay tuned. To be continued...

Went to Subtle Senses @ Mosque St wif cousin aft work to do facial.. a very cosy n relax place & of cos the price isn't cheap lah. but i'm using cousin's package. Finished doing, went for dinner n back home. Next time we shall go for massage.
Rest of the weekday is as per normal.. But Thurs morning at work, heard a bad news. Our former chairman, current board of director passed away peacefully on Wed nite. He's staying alone in Sg, his son was in America, daughter married n staying in Jp. He divorced many yrs back. But glad to hear tat his god-daughter was wif him at the time when he fainted. He couldn't make it to the hospital. So the HR & other Japanese directors r busy helping out with the funeral. His family members (a total of 8 ppl) came over on Thurs. But withdraw the body etc takes time. Therefore the wake was only open on Fri. Aft work went over wif my colleagues. !st time attending Japanese style funeral. Duno abt their culture. But actually for gals should wear all black, for guys - white shirt & black pants, tie. There's many japanese came n true leh.. their dresscode. And dey usually will give 'bai jin' but for tis, no donation please.
Thou I c him few times in office, din noe him quite well but thru mouth of words, he's a very nice man who will treat everyone equally. His wake is open to public today til 3pm as his body will leave for cremation at Mandai at 4.15pm. His family will bring his ashes back to Japan n held a ceremony over there too.
The company secretary who jus resigned n went back Japan flew back yesterday immediately aft she heard his news. She was very grateful to him n he's jus like his dad. She's feeling terrible now. So sad.
Was suppose to meet HH & Jh at Bugis aft work. But no choice gotta meet dem late cos mus go pay my respect to him. Took bus to bugis but the traffic was so jammed. Haha they have to wait for mi longer le. Had dinner n walked awhile den we went to Hark Music Cafe. Fr 9 stayed till 1+ den mf's bb send us home. So good of him..
