It's been quite a long time since I come here and blog ....
Normally I blog whenever I just want to while away my time.
Met some ex-colleagues today. One man seems to be doing very well after quitting his job here. He has a retail chain in Singapore. Can you imaging how much he earns if his rental for just one place is about $17k a month??

Anyway, these few weeks had been rather good and meaningful for me. I had a few nice chats within just these last few days.

Tip for the nocturnal blogging bitch (verb: blitch)

Do not learn from the crabs! Never climb over anyone else's back just to get to the top. Do not brag nor flame anyone else (or any group of people) on your blogs. No matter how "private" you think your blogs are to you. Even if you do not care if anyone reads your blogs, blogs are not private. If it is showmanship, go read xiaxue's or wendy chong's blogs n figure out whether you really want to (even if you can) earn that much money by blogging.

To me, this is a bad disguise for cowardice and actually very moronic too. After all, I wonder how one gets the kick out of getting back at somebody else just by hitting at him/her from everywhere except from his/her front? I think this is being very "small". It's just as sicko as go showing your monkey face at a blind man.

If you really don't like someone, ignore him. If you find him hard to like, then go surround yourself with people who love you. I am sure you will find out that there are more lovable people around you that you could focus yourself on rather than focussing so much on that one person, right? Otherwise, very soon, you will get more sick-in-the-mind than you know.

Or what's the big deal about gloating over anyone else's "stupidity" and sensationalising it on your blog? If it is just to ventilate, why waste a nice quiet night ventilating away when you could be enjoying a nice book in bed?

Moving on...

It's been sometime since I last updated this blog as well as my photography one.

A friend has suddenly decided to leave the department on a totally different career path. I could say "sudden" even tho it wasn't a surprise tho, that she would leave as she had said to me before. But "sudden" because it really was SUDDEN that came with that kind of unique but sweet "grin" of hers. haha... I did not expect that. But anyway ... I learnt something useful.

I really want her to succeed in life. Sometimes, in order to succeed, one has to quit doing the same old thing one is not happy about - completely. It is not environment related. Nor people-related. Those P-factors have been worked out. There have been 8 as far as I can rem.

But she proved she has the courage to go where her heart leads her. Actually, she had suspected that she might not be able to take the plunge, and so in a way, she did something to force herself to make the then-painful decision. And I guess, the rest is history. I really salute her. Something I wish Yen would learn from her too, some day. GUTS! One day, when I look back on this page, it will remind me of another friend who did what she had said she would - eventually.
