All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
this is for a friend – my bento.
sometimes it’s good to be a chunk of play doh.
cuz you can be what you want at different times.
All too often loud events and daily busyness cloud your vision of God. Take some time to slow down; let there be silence, let there be peace. Calm your mind and let your inner voice re-emerge from the silence. Allow yourself to see visions, allow yourself to dream dreams; and you may hear the voice of God reaching out to you.
Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
with exactly 1 week to the launch of my project which i’ve been working on for almost 1.5yrs, this is the toughest period.
no wrongs/mistakes can be tolerated.
any of it would lead to finger-pointing.
in fact, hell already broke loose among working level, middle management and top management.
and so a painful experience.
i really wonder if my 3.5 wks holiday is enough to heal my mind and body.
mind’s overloaded with work, follow ups and nonsense war with colleagues.
body’s in a fatigue mode.
though tired, i couldnt sleep within minutes.
that’s all for now, folks!
stay tuned to www.singtelamped.com

“The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling. And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!”
Have you made someone smile today?
Never frown even when you’re sad Coz you never know who is fallin in Love with your Smile
Can animals teach us how to keep our relationships happy?
In the May issue of Her World, psychologist Dr Judith Meyerowitz believes that women should start treating their husbands like their pet dogs if it’s a happier marriage they are after.
The clinical supervisor of America’s National Institute of Psychotherapists believe that pet owners can learn a trick or two from their dog’s obedience training classes.
Keep a loose leash
Don’t keep your partner caged up, just like you would not keep your dog confined in a cage all day. Spouses also need their own friends, hobbies and time away from their partners.
Give lots of praise
If your pet dog does something you want, you would reward it immediately. Same logic applies for the husband – say “I appreciate that” the moment he does something considerate for you.
Let him make a mess
Dogs like to have their own space to scatter their toys around or mess their blankets just so. Likewise, husbands should be given leeway to mess the place up a little without having their wives jump down their throats. It’s better to have a messy house but a comfortable and happy husband.
Show me the love
Most pet dogs have a favourite place to be scratched or touched. Dr Meyerowitz said: “If you haven’t already done so, then you should learn where and how your mate likes to be touched.”
Keep him well fed
Many women have dinner cooking when their husbands come home, but delay serving the meal. Feed your husband at the same time each day. But if you can’t do that, at least don’t keep him waiting. After all, you would not keep withhold a treat from your dog after holding it out to him. In the same way, have dinner at the same time each night, so he knows when to expect dinner.

A slim moderately tall woman. Taurus woman is funny and a jolly person.
Square facial bone structure, high cheek bone. Her round big eyes sparkle
with wit and curiosity. You will not see many round faces Taurus women, and
mainly she will have a strong jaw line.
Lolli says: 100% zun!
She is a constantly changing person. If she is upset, she will not show it and
will keep it to herself for a long time, and will remember them so well. If
she gets really mad at you, you will suddenly become a totally and
completely stranger to her.
Lolli says: no, i dun hide my emotions. yes, u will be a stranger to me if i’m angry w u.
She is a patient person, but always need new excitement. She hates long talk
meeting, long and endless conversation. She can be in love with you today,
and one day she could act as if she has never loved you before. She has
patient with what she wants to do and will never give up until she gets
there. She will be very persistent in what she is doing till she has reasons
for stopping her project, then she will quit.
Lolli says: oh yes, give me excitement! ; never say die!
Money for Taurus woman is not the most important factor in life. She thinks
of money as an instrument for assuring of a good living. She has more
satisfaction in achieving her goals more than satisfaction in fine cloths
and luxuries. If you like a woman who always thinks of love and romance
,then you are dating the wrong girl. You can not tell her to stay at home,
she likes to work and preferred not work at home.
Lolli says: money cant buy me ; i dun mind stop working for a while, just to holiday around!
She loves animals and likes to surround by animals. Love is in her head, but
Freedom is in her soul. She has her own idea about love and afraid to show
her true feeling for fear of rejection. She is not the type to talk about
love, but she sure has a strange way to show it. She is not good in showing
when she is in love, but if she loves you she will be honest to you than any
other women.
Lolli says: i advocate > action speaks louder than words
She will be honest to her love one, but at the same time seems distant. You
will have a good relationship with her, if you allow her freedom. Do not
force her to be with you in a poker game which she hates, but let she goes
out swinging with her friends if she wants to. She will be different than
other girls, and she thinks different is one of her unique quality. She is a
public figure but belongs to no one.She will not stay with you, if she
thinks you are not sincere. She likes you to have personality, but
better not to compete with her. Loves her, but not too much for she afraid it will
limiting her freedom.
She always stand out of the crowd for something she dares to do. You could
see her dress like a poor farmer dinning in the fancy restaurant, or dress
like a nun in an a cocktail dress party. If you are a politician who are
looking for a wife, she will make a good one because she is cleverly smart
and she could get along socially with any type of crowds.
Lolli says: DARN zun!
She is not a jealous type because she has to know you thoroughly before
accepting you in her life. She has more curiosity in life than wondering if
right now you are flirting with someone else. If you keep a distant from
her, or go away for a few days, she will miss you more. Even when she is
dating you, she also able to fond of someone else, if you do not have
something she is looking for. She will never disappoint you or hide behind
your back to make you loose face, but she is the type who just going to tell
you to your face that ‘ We’re better off breaking up’.
She always remember her first love. Taurus woman holds the best record for
divorce for she does not care about how people think of her, but every
things should be done for ‘Happiness’.
She has lots of friends and sure of herself, so you will hardly see she
delays any of her thoughts before her action. If she think of something, she
will go ahead and does it. She has many men wanting her for her constant
changes is the challenge. She can be cute and funny, but suddenly cool and
tough. She has her own style of dressing up, so you could see her dress like
an old mate today, and tomorrow she may dress like she comes from Mars. She
will have that interesting hair, dress and a look unique from anyone else.
Lolli says: no la, i dun dress like a Martian
She likes to learn about your dreams and your thought. She has fun teasing
you and making jokes. If she did something wrong, she won’t hide it from
you, but do not ask when she is not in the mood to talk about it. She hates
to owe people money and take promise seriously. If you promise to pay her
back, you’d better paid up.
Lolli says: yes, i take promises s.e.r.i.o.u.s.l.y
If you want to make it with Taurus woman, then do not be jealous or
possessive, do not be narrow minded, do not criticize about nonsense or
small and insignificant matters. Try to likes her friends and let she has
her privacy, then she can be very sweet to you.
Lolli says: most impt > be broad minded. dun be a small gas ghost.
i used to say this to myself
“life is more challenging with people trying to make things difficult”
sometimes i started to share my quote when i come across frens or colleagues facing difficulties
this quote is permanently embedded in my 10-8pm.
today’s a down day. sighs.
Browsing through some love quotes..
a couple of them caught my eye, made me ponder & wonder..
and so i shared with you…
“I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.”
mushy it might be but it’s truely, deeply romantic.*dream*
“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”
i believe in this.
you
me
everybody
deserves to love
deserves to be loved
so.. muster up all the courage and lovvvveeeee
p.s despite all the heartbreaks
*wink*
Thy eyes, my princess, smile upon me like the appearance of an angel upon dark times.
whenever thee feel lost and sad, fret not my princess, for i shall readily be upon you, to comfort you to warm like a drink of whiskey in a storm of snow
“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.
To be happy is then to suffer.
But suffering makes one unhappy.
Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness.
I hope you’re getting this down.”
- Woody Allen, Love and Death
hmm.. so, have u digested this chunk of love, suffer, happiness?
i like it very much.
it rhymes! haha.. not really lah.. then again, it’s so true.
whatever we do, be it love or dun love, we still suffer so why dun we love.. then at least the suffering is more worth while rite??
btw, i read this in Marrying Buddha by Wei Hui.
it’s a book by this chinese girl who wrote Shanghai Baby.
the story is abt love, sex without orgasm and the relationship bet. love and hatred
Letting go…
You wan to rid yourself of that person.
You wan their face to stop appearing everytime you hear that certain song
And you wan to not call them at 3am when you heart hurts.
But
If you let them go,
If you cut them out of your life.. then that’s it – they’re gone.
You will nvr get a do-over and nvr get a chance to make things right.
You will go from being the reason they once smiled,
being that person they could always count on..
to the person they hope to nvr have to see again,
because the awkwardness would be too much to bear.
- Hollie Seal
letting it go is always painful.
it is extremely difficult to take the 1st step to let go..
to tear yourself away.physically. mentally.
only with much determination, one will then succeed.
the process of letting go might be painful..
but not to let go, would be even more painful..
once you’ve let go, the pain goes away.
trust me.
i’ve been there. done that.
and here i am. standing strong.
“just friends..
it’s almost impossible.
especially if it was once something more than that.
going back to friends is juz a way of trying to twist and mold it into something else,
something that keeps you both holding on by strings,
when all you really need to do is let go..be free of one another.
on the other hand, to let go is to accept that you arent wat the other person wants, can crush you.
but once you let go, once you really say goodbye.. it’s eventually better for you.
there is no obligation, no worry and no need to still make that other person happy.”
-Hollie Seal
read this in someone’s blog.
there is some truth to it.
but how easy or difficult to really let go?
Let me begin with this.
1. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be
grateful.
2. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
how many of us are able to smile cuz it happened and not cry cuz it ended??
i used to smile at those beautiful times shared.. but somehow tears welled up.
are these tears considered tears of joy or tears of sadness?
3. There’s always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. True meh?
- of course not true la!
- no la..no need to keep trusting..see first then trust
- true true
to me, it’s true. i am extremely careful with who i trust. more often, i place strangers into different categories and hence, treat them with different level of trust.
sound so systematic hor.. no lah.. hee
4. Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
the time you put in to find out.. isnt it time wasted if nothing comes out of it at the end?
nothing comes free.

False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.”
