blogging with twitter
with the current new trend of twittering, i feel that blogs that people once use to post their everyday life is quickly becoming a part of yesterday. just like how the abacus become a thing of the past when the calculator was invented. though, in some part of the world, or in some point of ones life, they still use the abacus, but gradually everyones going to turn into lazy people and use the calculator instead. same goes for blogging. slowly but eventually, everyone is going to rely on just twitter to post happenings about their everyday life.
though in twitter, you have the benefit of updating about anything and everything in real time just by instant messaging, it still is not as interesting an as entertaining as a blog. cause in a blog, you can post as long a post you want without having to worry about the number of character you have used so that your updates would not be divided into two different updates messily. moreover, in a blog, you can be as descriptive as you want to describe about something. whereas in twitter, you cannot, because being descriptive means you have a lot to say. and if you have a lot to say about a thing, you just can't in twitter. your post would be cut off into two different post. it will just look very weird.

reside
pampered myself today by doing a bit of shopping in town. bought a shirt from ZARA. and my gosh, its been aeons since i last shopped for myself.
after seeing a lot of computers, mainly desktop, today, i have decided to finally get a desktop for myself. desktops don't normally catch my attention, but today, i realise that i when i enter a shop like BEST or Harvey-Norman, i would check out the desktop instead of the notebooks which i normally do. maybe its because i just got my new notebook not too long ago. somehow, now, desktop seems rather pretty looking and the specs are pretty SWEET, as Jeremy Clarkson would put it. besides, its better to get a desktop because it provides ease in upgrading of hardwares in the CPU.

anyway, photo shoot's tomorrow. have to be there by 8, i think, and that's so early. no one's going to look good when they're half awake.

hamilton takes the trophy
YES! Lewis Hamilton from McLaren-Mercedes came in first for the formula one race in singapore! and to think that the guest on last night formula one show on Channel 5 said that Nico Rosberg from Williams-Toyota would win. i guess he knows nothing about formula 1 racing. too bad, Lewis Hamilton was made to dominate this race. even more, Lewis Hamilton cross the finishing line 12 seconds before Timo Glock from Toyota, who came in second. this shows just how fast Lewis Hamilton was that he could lead by 12 seconds.
though, i didn't watch the race, thankfully i had someone to record it for me! i can't wait to get the disc from my friend, cause only then could i see how the race really went. (:
and here's the winner for Singtel 2009 Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton!
Congratulations! though you still can't beat the legendary Michael Shumacher, you're still a winner! (:

grand prix
formula 1 qualifying round ended today with Lewis Hamilton coming in first. i am so hoping that he wins this year formula 1 race. i have all my bets on you, don't fail me! (:
next, in position 2, is Sebastian Vettel from RBR-Renault. not a fan of him, therefore i'm not going to talk much about him. i just wish him all the best, and hopefully he doesn't beat Hamilton. (:
sadly, due to work, i will be missing tomorrow's grand prix. ):
i am extremely excited over tomorrow's race!!

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

broken down
having severe flu, throat inflammation and fever. doctor says if i didn't take care of it, i might be h1n1 positive. this is bad.
i might have tire myself out too much, causing me to fall ill. my virgin experience working at exhibition was fulfilling. though sales wasn't good, and pay wasn't high, it was still a worthwhile experience.

recession truth
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times." The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right"."We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

happiness doesn't happen to us, it happens by us
When we look at people around us who have had relatively smooth and trouble free lives, we find that some are happy, others unhappy. When we look at those who have had really rough and challenging lives, again, some are happy, others are not.
All this seems to suggest the relevance of an age-old truth: happiness has less to do with circumstances than with our attitude and approach to life.
Happiness does not happen to us, it happens by us. Know that each of us is the creator of our own thoughts and state of mind. This does not mean ignoring the often, painful reality of what happens, but understanding that you can choose your response to something at any given moment.
For example, you can choose to be frazled and furious with the demands and pressures of a hectic day, feeling miserable about bad luck, colleagues, weather or bad whatever. Or you can call upon the grace of the moment -reminding yourself to stop and breathe calmly for just a few moments, finding some beauty to focus on, something to be greateful for in all this. You can choose between forever brooding on an unhappy childhood, or focusing on healing and moving on.
It is established that cultivating feelings of happiness results in a self-generating cycle of biological as much as psychological well being. When you carve out time to go for a walk, or just to the nearest window, or to stop and pray, or dance or sing along to a favourite tune, or share moments with special people, 'Happy Harmones' flood your system, keeping you healthy. For this you need to first accept that happiness is something that is generated from within, and it comes with time and practise.
Happiness, at its core, is about discovering meaning, and counting your blessings, not your woes.
Happiness then is simply about saying a heartfelt "yes" to all of life; to more positive emotions, to more engagement, to more meaning and purpose, to more caring relationship.

my mom is soo beautiful
funny, how everyone use to tell me how beautiful my mom is and i never once believe them. not until today. i was flipping through a photo album when i saw a photo of my mum, during her younger days when she was dating my father. and i really really think that she's the most beautiful person i have ever came across. really. i believe nothing in this world is as beautiful as her. really. my mom, during her younger days, look like 刘亦菲 to me. i think my mom could be a model.
look,
isn't she just beautiful? isn't she stunning?
she's really my mom. and i cannot believe it. she's is just so beautiful.
however, after she got married to my dad and had both me and my sis, she hardly had time to dress up and take care of herself. she spends most of her time looking out for us instead. how i wish my mom didn't had me or my sis. then she could at least have more time to groom herself. she is so BEAUTIFUL!!
from this day forth, i am never going to deny that my mom is beautiful. cause as i said, she is the most beautiful person in the whole wide world. no one can be as beautiful, as stunning as my mom!
My mom, the most beautiful woman in the world!

apologising
something really upsetting must have happen to bring you to deleting both your blog and your Facebook account. i read you last few post and knew something was wrong, yet i foolishly did nothing. i am really sorry. you were always there when i was depressed. i wish i could do the same to you. you wanted to be left alone. i'm sorry for being so useless. i sort of knew, yet i didn't know what to do. and now, all i can do was to leave you alone like you told me to. many times, i wanted to ask you how are you, but since you last few post, you were never online. or at least you were never when i was. today, i finally left you an online message. but i was shock. i never thought that what i felt about you feeling down would come to reality. i am really sorry.
please get well. i don't want to lose a friend like you.
