Life... Orh... Life...

Life is full of ups and downs,
Downs are there to teach us to be strong,
Never to give up on life or frown,
Caused the day will come for us to be “ONG”,

One moment you may have everything,
The next moment you may lose them,
It’s the time spent and the being,
That counts and brings greater meaning to them,

In life, there are no true winners,
Nor there are no true losers,
It’s we, whom live this life without sinner,
That makes this LIFE and us a real gainer,

We should not blame LIFE for downs,
But appreciate them with both hands,
Our luck could be just lurking around to be own,
Regardless, we must continue to strive...with both our hands!

LIFE I will appreciate, learn, care, grow, be contented and love you!!!

~quote of the day~

“...There is no vocabulary for love... love that's lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen, the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent.”

— T.S. Eliot

~quote of the day~

"Whenever you've been touched by love, a heart-print lingers so that you're always reminded of the feeling of being cared for, knowing that, to someone, you mattered." - Oprah

My love for her....

It’s been 3 months we are together,
Nothing that can come between us,
Sometimes we do have our stuffs to bother,
But it ain’t going to slow us,

There are ups and downs in our relationship,
These are only little challenges to make us stronger,
We should not let ourselves fall from this ship,
As we are in this together and should be wiser,

My love for you will never change,
It will only get deeper and deeper,
I will not allow any short-change,
As we continue to love, care and pamper,

Sometimes I wonder why we are so alike,
Are we a couple made in heaven,
It’s like love at first sight and strike,
Funny it may sound even,

I do miss you every single moment,
Sometimes I just wish I could stop time,
So that we could treasure our little moment,
Missing you much until I lost track of time,

Dear orh dear,
Please forgive me of my little temper,
I vowed to change them in near,
As it would be for our better!


P/S: I LOVE YOU!!!

The Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us..

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street.

The bottom line is that successful people don't let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so…

"Love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't."

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Good Day

Things are to be used, People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character;

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Eggs n Petrol.. Worth Reading..its Economics.....

Good concept!!!! Worth reading.....

A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast.
When he goes to the grocery store he pays 60 cents a dozen.

Since a dozen eggs won't last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time.

One day while buying eggs he notices that the price has risen to 72 cents. The next time he buys groceries, eggs are 76 cents a dozen.

When asked to explain the price of eggs the store owner says, "The price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly".

This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. He checked around for a better price and all the distributors have raised their prices.

The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms. The small egg farms have been driven out of business.

The huge egg farms sell 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on. As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there.

He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 dozen eggs to the distributors daily.

Nothing had changed but the price of eggs.

Then week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, "Cakes and baking for the holiday".

The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up.

Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking, baking, etc. happen.

This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The man says," There must be something we can do about the price of eggs".

He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop buying eggs. This didn't work because everyone needed eggs.

Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.

The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs. Maybe wouldn't need any all week. The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge egg farms that he didn't have any room for eggs would not need any for at least two weeks.

At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy the eggs at a lower price.

The distributor said, "I don't have the room for the eggs even if they were free".

The distributor told the grocery store owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start buying again.

The grocery store owner said, "I don't have room for more eggs. The customers are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time".

"Now if you were to drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again".

The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers. They liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, those chickens just kept on laying.

Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few cents.

The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time.
They said, "When the price of eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying by the dozen."

Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg farmers.

The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn't buy at a higher price than they were selling eggs for.

Anyway, they had full warehouses and wouldn't need eggs for quite a while. And those chickens kept on laying.

Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs they couldn't sell.

The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price.

And the customers starting buying by the dozen again. Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry.

What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled to the pump? The dealer's tanks would stay semi full all the time. The dealers wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the huge tank farms. The tank farms wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the Middle East.

Just $10.00 each time you buy gas. Don't fill it up. You may have to stop for gas twice a week but,the price should come down.

Think about it. As an added note...When I buy $10.00 worth of gas that leaves my tank a little under half full. The way prices are jumping around, you can buy gas for $2.65 a gallon and then the next morning it can be $2.15. If you have your tank full of $2.65 gas you don't have room for the $2.15 gas.

You might not understand the economics of only buying two eggs at a time but, you can't buy cheaper gas if your tank is full of the high priced stuff.

Also, don't buy anything else at the gas station; don't give them any more of your hard earned money than what you spend on gas, until the prices come down..."

Please pass this concept around....reaching out to the mass... the world... the universe!!!!

sales figures...

sharing of my thoughts on the above subjects...

hi dear,

sales figures is just a number,
do not let the number defeat you,
believe in your self that you can achieve it,
no matter how hard/tough, once you have the believe,
eventually the sales will come your way,
you just need to be patient and keep trying,
sometimes you think you have done your best,
but what's your best?!?! your best is to "keep trying and never give up!!!" - that's your best and that's when the sales will start flowing in...

cheers, all the best and take care!!! :D

quote for the start of 2010...

“Often we don't listen to who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.”

— Oprah

2009...2010!!!

As 2010 reigns,

Another new beginnings,
For many good nights,

Wishing you good health,
Looking young always,
Abundant of wealth,
Happiness in many ways,

*****HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010*****

Engineers as Story Tellers

Contributed by: Mr David T.E Lim BE (Civil) 1977 (taken from Melbourne Uni website)

Engineers are story tellers. They may not know this, but they are.

When I landed my first CEO job, I told this story to my staff. Two men are walking in the woods. Suddenly they hear a rustling in the leaves, and see a bear charging at them. One of them stoops to tie his shoelaces. The other, bewildered, tells him he's wasting his time. "You can't outrun the bear", he declared. The other man, having finished tying his shoelace, replies, "I'm not trying to, I'm just going to outrun you!"

I tell this to illustrate what competition in the 'real world' is like. The customer buys one car, one TV, one laptop at a time. If he buys your competitor's product, he doesn't buy yours. We are all trying to outrun the other fellow, and we start our training young. In school, you want to be higher up on the grade curve than the other guy. At work, you want that promotion faster.

But there is another element to this story. It's about the shoelaces. The man who tied his laces was obviously an engineer. First, he defined the problem: the bear wants to eat me. Second, he explores it further: I don't have anything to fight off the bear. And the bear can run faster than me. Third he begins to think of possible solutions. Perhaps they can both fight off the bear - two are better than one. Or they could run in different directions. Fourth: he evaluates the solutions. Even together, they could not possibly win the fight - the bear is too big. And if they run in separate directions, one of them will still get eaten, and it could be him. Neither are good solutions, so he goes back to step three. Are they other possible options? Yes, he can try to outrun the other guy. One of them will get eaten. It's only sensible that he doesn't leave that to luck. Finally, he implements his solution. To outrun the other guy, he's got to make sure he's got an advantage. He notices that their shoelaces have come loose from all the hiking on uneven ground. That presents an opportunity. He stoops to tie his shoelaces. And then he runs like the wind.

All this analysis, and only in a wink of an eye.

But this is what engineers are trained to do. They solve problems in a systematic, calculated way that carefully examines the problem, considers the various alternatives to solve the problem, and picks an option to implement.

Practiced long enough, it becomes second nature. We do it intuitively, in every circumstance, and not just in the field we specialise in. Yes, we figure out how to build longer bridges, taller structures, smaller devices, faster computers, harder plastics, stronger fibres and so on. But beyond all this, we are also good problem solvers in life - solving conflicts in community, providing leadership in social organisation. For the essence of our training is analysis and choice.

My career has taken me away from engineering per se into all kinds of fields - software development, economic development, port operations, shipping, industrial park development, corporate management - even politics! But in every new situation, I found myself stepping through the same paradigm - defining and exploring problems, generating and evaluating solutions, and then taking decisive steps to deal with the matter at hand.

Of course, 'real life' is not just about outrunning the bear. It's not all about competing and winning. In the end, we probably wouldn't have just run off. We might have stayed together to fend off the bear, or run in different directions, or perhaps we might have stayed put to let our friend get away. But you get the idea - we begin with the best of engineering solutions, and then we need to layer that with our values and beliefs. That's what makes us a really good engineer.

a day thinking of you...

thinking of you,
day and night,
missing of you,
without fear or fright,

wish you could be there,
to care and pamper me,
anytime now right here,
to hug and kiss me,

there are up and down,
norm in a relationship,
let not be frown,
as we steer clear our ship,

time is our essence,
as we seek our understanding,
assumption is our menace,
as it caused misunderstanding,

as i ponder,
what life will be without you,
you make me feel wonder,
just another day thinking of you...

The Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem , almost too much to handle, When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class And had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - family, children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions – Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --The small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play With your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
'Take care of the golf balls first -- The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

I wonder... I Ponder... I'm Relief... I'm Happy...!!!

Sometimes I wonder,

Is it just fate,

As I ponder,

But it's not too late,

Our progress have been well,

Full of interest & anticipation,

As we continue to dwell,

Hoping for more attention,

Is it a pair made in heaven,

With great thoughts & sharing,

Are we meant to be even,

Treating each other with grace & caring,

Days passed by with anticipation,

Carefully carved with great intention,

Together we enjoy with exhilaration,

No doubt this is god greatest creation,

LOVE is what makes us,

CARE is what bonds us,

HONESTY is what treats us,

ETERNITY is what moves us...

Today's Quote of the day...

"The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get." — Oprah

She’s the one…

Known her from a friend,

She seems kind and happy,

Always laughing and smiling without end,

I guess that’s her stress therapy,

Never know she can be so funny,

Often keeps me engaged with her laughter,

Sometimes I feel that she’s my sunny,

That keeps me warm and happy ever after,

Knowing her for a short period,

It felt like we’ve known for ages,

Being with her it’s like listening to an iPOD,

Notes of happiness that streams without pages,

Every time we meet our bond gets closer,

Through the sharing and caring,

Every time we talk we understand better,

Through the common understanding,

Never seen such a lovely person with an inner beauty,

The more I know her the more I glad I did,

She does have her own uniqueness and beauty,

Hoping she will always remains as she did,

Could this be the path meant for each other?

Something that we’ve been looking all these while,

Hope is what keeps us together,

It’s fate that will define this everlasting mile…

sometimes...

I wonder far for answers,
Coming back with regrets,
Finding myself with blunders,
Disbelief as I remain unrest,

I seek hard for replies,
Only to come back with unknowns,
I told myself it was just another lies,
Another way to make myself known,

Sometimes it’s just that hard,
Nothing comes easy without sweat,
Wishing that they could lower their guard,
Wisdom said I need to put a caveat,

Sometimes something may appear easy,
We should not judge the appearance,
It’s like writing a thousand words essay,
Not the quantity that counts but the remembrance,

I wish there could be an answer,
For everything in LIFE as I stumbled,
I would continue to work hard I swear,
For everything in LIFE as I embraced!
