love vs suffering
Saturday, November 7, 2009
read something and felt like sharing.
"to love is to suffer.
to avoid suffering, one must not love.
but then, one suffers from not loving.
therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer.
to be happy is to love, then, is to suffer but suffering makes one unhappy.
therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."
- woody allen
away
back to work after 5 days of being away.
though i did went back and spent 4 hours at work on wednesday.
anyway... i had to.
otherwise, things can't progress the way i want it to be.
the past few days has been the better comfortable period so far since the past 6-7 months.
though one of the staff said to me today that i looked emo this morning.
was i?
"rest is to take on a longer journey."
what's within you
Thursday, November 5, 2009
the people around us can surprise us everyday.
that maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do.
but rather what we are capable of when we least expect it.

familiar faces & horrifying gang
it's nice to see familiar faces in the midst of work on a saturday night.
especially when i'm 'held down on duty' by the lanyard and the heavy bunch of store keys.
**(ummm... realised i've been making a few exceptions of myself lately.)
truth

there are 2 reasons to not tell the truth -
(i) because lying will get you what you want,
and
(ii) because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.
solitude
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
solitary: alone, living alone, not gregarious, without companions; single, separate; secluded, lonely. recluse, hermit.
*(gregarious: living in flocks or communities; fond of company; of flocks or crowds.)
*(recluse: given to or living in seclusion, retirement or isolation.)
*(hermit: person living in solitude.)solitude: being solitary; lonely place.
if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude.
it's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
i could have quoted the aboved sentences which speaks so much of my sentiments.
expectations
have you ever placed expectations on others as of yourself?
well, i do.
last week, i finally confirmed a staff whom i chose to be in one of my departments.
life can be such a irony where a person's job outcomes derives from one's choice and decision.
in this case, my choice... my decision.
especially when i'm a in position authorised with the 'power'.
being me, i can be a rather irritating and particular person.
of course, i laid down my 'rules' to him.
1. integrity
2. self-discipline *(which inludes talk less, work more)
3. punctuality
4. work performance
i said to him: if you can't be up to standard, then i will replace you.
do i expect myself to adhere to those 'rules' i laid?
yes, as a matter of fact.
despite whatever i am at work, i want everyone in my teams to work in an amiable environment.
hallowing on this halloween

what is filling the vessel of my life?
is it a bitter attitude that leads to foolish disputes and strife, or is it a sweet spirit that leads to righteousness, faith, love and peace?
surprise moment @ work

finally sat down to upload these pictures taken on 23rd Oct.
not my usual practice to show my face but i reckon it's ok to make an exception.
self-reflection
Thursday, October 29, 2009
this evening, i went to attend an event.
just myself.
i think it's something i should do.
i realised what i have missed all along.
something so near yet i never once make an effort to more pay attention to.
listening to the happy memories, sad regrets and seeing the tears flow.
in a way or so, i felt inspired by such notions.
i took a longer bus route home.
i choose to.
to make myself think.
to make myself reflect.
sometimes loss can be in a form of gain.
it's only a matter of whether the gain results positively or negatively.
not a good year
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
this year isn't a good year in some aspects.
loss especially... loss of someone important in my life, loss of somethings i treasured...
but today i will mention in particularly - death...
not just other death around the world but revolving in my circle of life as well.
you can't stop the future.
you can't rewind the past.
you can only continue to live by moving forward.
brace yourself with strength and courage.
live not just for yourself, and also for those who cares and loves you.
it can't be well just overnight.
it will take a period of time.
but most important is to treat yourself well no matter what.
belated? never... from my dear old friend

fated or destiny
Sunday, October 25, 2009
i chanced upon something and spend about 30 minutes reading.
something in my mind told me to.
a night is gone and i'm still thinking about the contents of it.
no... actually, i woke up to the thoughts of it.
probably i need to feel and ponder over it now so i can reflect upon myself.
i am thankful for this course of action coz if not, i will not know and probably never.
from it, i realised:
people choose to be selfish - despite that there are people with bigger heart.
(i'm learning to be)people choose to hurt - so that they can achieve their own intentions.
(i don't want to be)people choose to be ungrateful - there's an unlying motive in one's mind.
(i wouldn't want to resort that)i felt sorry.
i felt pity.
i felt 'it could have', 'if only'.
life is a constant change.
what we are at different stages of our lives created those changes.
choices we made at those moments changes our lives.
afterthat, everything will never be the same again.
we can never turn back time or regain what it was when it began, what it used to be and how it will be.
or simply, some things are just not meant to be.
i told people, there are usually signs appearing before or signifying the result/s.
personally, there are times i failed to see or sense it in my course of life.
that's why, i have to go through the consequences (so-called rough patch in life).
have i wasted time after course when i could have avoided it initially?
looking and thinking back now makes me appreciate what has for me after the outcome.
no matter how the heart feels and the mind thinks, somehow it eventually has to go with what the eyes sees.
i have made some decisions and i will try to stick to it.
Jo, u have to step out of the circle yourself and look at things from a different perspective.
U can. - by Joey
