I've been known to be a person who is driven and relentless. I almost never give up on something that I set my mind on. But are there some things where, there is a right time to give up? When is the right time to give up? Do you use your logic, or emotion? Or perhaps, both?In searching oneself deeper to find answers to these questions, perhaps a more important question begs to be answered:

Being in your mid-twenties can be a time when you don't get to go camping or enjoy your summer weekends because you are at a wedding. Try this, I attended 7 weddings last year (I was invited to more, but could not make it) and 2 this year. Going to a large amount of weddings can be challenging especially when you are single. I try to have the best attitude I can when going for weddings,

I am in search of sunshine, clouds & rainbows.This year's summer is very much rainy and cloudy. We have had very few sunny days, so when the sun stands prominently in its glorious ways, those are very special moments! This weekend hasn't been too bad, it has been warm enough to make me smile. I find life the same way sometimes, there are very many cloudy and rainy days, and there is a waiting

It has been rather long since my last blog entry. Life has it such that blogging was not a priority, and subsequently becomes something I forget exists.2008 if I could coin it in any terms that will do it justice would be "total surrender." The Lord has tested me in every area that is conceivable. But, I still stand firm and believe that He is God. I think when one goes through testings in

You will not guess what I dreamt of last night. During the dark of night in an unconscious state, I dreamt of receiving 24 birthday presents from a person. When I excitedly opened the pretty bags, there were 24 cute white kittens! I'm not freaking out or anything...but if you are planning to get me a birthday present, you have lots of time to think about it. Please please please do not get me

Here I am, waiting for my friends to show up to go to a mamak session. I have only been back in Malaysia for 2 1/2 weeks, but yet, I am fooled everytime! Fooled as in, I would be at a place, or be waiting for a friend/s to show up at the specific time we had agreed upon. Unfortunately, none of my friends have managed to show up at the agreed time...none at all! Let's see...CT and Fel were 1 1

Ya know, I didn't think that I would care so much about food. After all, I love my Ramli Burgers, Laksas, Ribs, Donairs (OH YUM!) and all. But, recently I've been slightly concerned about my food consumption. First of all, I am actually trying to be more healthy...so I am watching what I eat and hoping that it is the right proportion. Really, I am not anal about it, but being inspired by my

Happy New Year y'all. 2007 has flown by, and has brought us a new chapter in life: 2008. As much as 2008 is filled with uncertainties for me, I am actually slightly excited at the possibilities that 2008 will bring. 2008 will be one filled with new decisions for me. We will see where the road leads, and where the road eventually brings me to in life. I feel like I have something to look

My friend Steven has his MSN nick as "Life is complicated." While I acknowledge that life is complicated, does it have to be so? Can life not be simple? I suppose there is also then the need to define "simplicity" for it can be relative to each. Indeed, I think we can suppose that the only un-simple thing in life are those of which we have no control over. Those of which we have control over

Amidst Malaysia's current heated political situation, I think we ought to learn from Mahatma Gandhi's very wise words:"Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side."Malaysia, let us hear from all sides if we truly believe in democracy and want to advance it in our country.

CHIPS! Big time. I've been eating two bags a week for the last two weeks. This has got to stop! And, so I did. I mustered every ounce of will to say no. Went grocery shopping today and just had to constantly remind myself that I AM NOT GETTING THAT BAG OF CHIPS.I AM NOT GETTING THAT BAG OF CHIPS.

The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). In the last couple of years, I was fortunate enough to have had limited dealings with them. However, everyone talks about CRA like they are a despisable leech. I had a Law Professor who would lecture and complain about CRA and the taxation system in Canada at least 10 minutes of every lecture. And mind you, every lecture was only 50 minutes 3 times a week.

I find it unbelievable. Shocking. Unfathomable. How is it possible that some people are incapable of forgiving, incapable of compromising, incapable of saying "sorry" and admitting that one cannot be "right" all the time. Humans make mistakes. It is true, we are not perfect people, and we often make mistakes. I think the most humbling thing a person can do is to admit that he is in the

I left nearing 7pm today from office. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't leave quite that late but today was just a busy day and I couldn't get much done with all the meetings that I had. I was waiting at the bus stop for quite a bit before a dude appeared and sat beside me on the bench waiting for bus #6. I was oblivious of him really. My mind was flying towards what I would be doing in my

I have two Jo acquaintances in my life right now. One is a big supplier with my Company, which constantly calls me up for $$$ (I'm the Finance Department in my Company). The other is my apartment manager, who left me a note in the apartment today saying she can't find my cheque for rent this month.

Fall is my favourite season! Since my first encounter with the marvelous beauty of autumn four years ago, it has taken a special place in my heart. I find it just so pretty -- the golden yellow leaves embracing the very path I walk on daily. Sadly, fall is almost gone this year and I have yet to go out armed with a camera to frame its colours. Perhaps nature would be kind enough to delay a

As with the new season that has approached us, I am at a new season in life. Gone were the university days: day in day out going to lectures, writing papers, doing readings and stressing over exams. Indeed, no more lectures, no more readings and NO MORE exams! When I dropped off my Eonfire office keys last Friday at the School of Business, it all seemed so final. *Sigh* A chapter of my life

One of the highlights from my Ottawa trip was participating in a mass crowd protest. I was lucky enough to attend two rallies which cause I believe in, the first being an anti abortion protest/March for Life.

After traveling around the world for six days, my luggage finally decided to be good and come back to its owner. Air Canada told me yesterday that my luggage was on a plane home (presumely from Dublin) and would arrive in the afternoon.

I went grocery shopping at Superstore today and I was SO EXCITED when I saw their Green Shopping Bag for sale right at the entrance.

The vast majority of the coffee we buy comes from producers who are paid about 54 cents for a pound of beans – or about 11 cents for every dollar spent by the coffee-consuming public.Under fair trade arrangements, less money goes to "middlemen" and more goes to the coffee grower. They receive about 28 cents for for every dollar spent by the coffee-consuming public.

We know, of course, how central the forgiveness of our sins is to salvation. We preach it, we believe in it. We see that first repentance and surrener to Christ as a glorious moment. We also accept that having come to the Lord, we must continue to purify our lives. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

The last two weeks went in a blur. I often wonder where the time went to, and why life is so often so busy. If you have answers to these questions, please feel free to post your information.It's cold here, and I think the cold can get to ya and make ya feel miserable sometimes. -39c really isn't all that fun when the wind is gripping into your bones and sucking the moist out of your skin.Well,

It is 12.50am on a Saturday morning. All of sudden, I have an epiphany! I should marry an apple farmer, live on a farmland with horses and dogs with yards and yards of land.

Ah, I slept in today after working till 2.30am last night on my law paper. Coincidentally my 9.30am class today was cancelled, so it was nice. For the first time in my school year, I actually sat down for breakfast this morning. Any guesses what I had for breakfast? Went out at 9.45am to catch my bus to school. It was bright and sunny, ah, such a beautiful beautiful day! The air was crisp,

I attended my first ever political event today. Gary who is running for the PC Leadership contending to be Alberta's Premier had invited me for today's PC Leadership Forum at Mayfield's Hotel.
