winning or losing is not everything, it is the process which is of more importance

winning or losing is not everything, it is the process which is of more importance

A lesson I have learnt and I wish to keep constantly remind this to myself =)

Enjoy swimming & catching up with friends

Friday evening, after work and after some rain, I finally went swimming (leisurely) after such a long while since I last swam.. and it felt great!.. Although half the time we were like, just soaking water & yakking in the jacuzzi.. haha.. I still enjoy it very much... hmmm... I doubt she reads my blog.. but Xiaomei.. if u are reading this.. I wanna say to u: I love U! Let's try to go everyweek! =P
Yesterday, went to school for POA class and went to catch the movie "Exorcism of Emily Rose" after class.. Perhaps I anticipated it too much so therefore, I didn't find it that super nice or scary but just found it pretty much ok.. We watch at Jurong!!.. haha.. out of all places.. so freaking far from our house in the east.. but u know....heh heh...as my school in Clementi.. not that surprising I went there right?... Oh yah.. and my friend introduce me to a place for drinking at Changi Village.. nice & quiet place.. quite similar to Fisherman's village.. next time u all can try go there drink at night also if u r looking for new hangouts...
Later, I'm going meet up with gd friend & go shopping /drinking.. =P Time & Money not enough!!
Don't know why but I'm already in the mood to start buying Christmas pressies already! Haha..too soon right?

Kendra is hired

okie... Kendra is the Apprentice hired.. =) They are both great but apparently, Mr Trump also likes her better. Glad we finally had a female Apprentice at last! I thought Kendra might have blow her chances when she shed tears in the boardroom which is such a big NO-NO as far as I'm concern but luckily it didn't affect the verdict. Tana's emphasize on her own brilliant idea of the shape of her brochure didn't win the audiences too.. I thought it was really a bad move to be so "aggressive" at that point... Just show the crumbled side of her... Anyway they both gain my respect and hope one day.. I could do just as well..

Quotes to share

Perhaps the below is the reason why I prefer to watch English (& maybe Japanese) dramas rather than Chinese or Korean soapy dramas...The below are quotes from the show I really like..One Tree Hill... the Season 1 has ended and they (Starworld Channel 18) are not showing Season 2 & 3!!!.. haiz... =( upset.. One of the last show I followed liao... So I guess I won't be watching much televsion soon since everything else has ended recently (almost) too..

Quotes:

Nathan: "Someday, this beach might wash away... the oceans may dry, the sun could dim, but on that day I'll still be loving you."

Lucas: "Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically... to those who hardly think about us in return."

Brooke: "Someone once said; it's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me… I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember. Even if I don't write it down."

Anna: "Why do relationships have to be so hard?"
Peyton: "Because the only thing harder is to be alone"


Haley: "I gave you my heart. That's all that I can give to you and if that's not enough for you... than I'm not enough for you."

Lucas: "Kahlil Gibran once wrote: You're reason and your passion are the rudder ...and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in midseas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burn to it's own destruction."

Lucas: "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours -Ayn Rand "

Lucas: "John Steinbeck once wrote “It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world."

Lucas:"ee cummings once wrote, To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."

Because You Live

Crazy on this Song...


Because You Live

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice calls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it though every storm
What is life, whats the use if your killed inside
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live

The Apprentice

The Apprentice is at its season finale, and the results going to be out.. With only the two ladies left, One From the Street-Smart grp, the other from Book-Smart grp, I thought the competition is very intense. I didn't follow this show initially and started from somewhere closer to the back but I thought these 2 ladies really made women proud. Its rare you will see a female Apprentice being chosen but since now its down to this two ladies, the next Apprentice will definitely be a woman! yey! Its not easy coming all the way beating so many other thousands of potential candidates and out of which, still edging over strong talented male competition like Alex & Craig.. I'm quite interested in the show because its very much related to the Marketing courses I've pursued and the plot was near to the day-to-day working class we are in.

Manage to catch Kendra & Tana running their last task in the final lap of the competition, each launching & managing the entire impt event.. Of course there are some bound to be cock-ups here & there for both of them but the capability to organise, familiarize, oversee, dedicate, run the so00-many misc tasks in the event is impressive. Kendra's Playstation new game launch seem apparently smaller compared to Tana's Olympic event, therefore earning lesser fair of coverage compared to Tana's, but I thought she seemed amazingly organized and alert, and also more cohesiveness in her team compared to Tana's incohesive and unhappy team. I thought if the result is purely based on just this round, Kendra may outshone Tana on the overall leadership quality and flow of the event.. Of course I wouldn't know what this employer is looking for so its still very hard to guess the verdict, especially when Tana have always portray a capable independent & collected image so she still has a good chance.
Stay tune and we will know who's the next Apprentice real soon.

夜曲 Nocturne - Jay Chou

Simply love Jay! 11月的萧邦 ~ November's Chopin!!



夜曲 Nocturne - Jay Chou
*一群嗜血的螞蟻被腐肉所吸引
我面無表情看孤獨的風景
失去妳　愛恨開始分明
失去妳　還有什麼事好關心
那鴿子不再象徵和平
我終於被提醒
廣場上餵食的是禿鷹
我用漂亮的押韻形容被掠奪一空的愛情*

啊 烏雲開始遮蔽 夜色不乾淨
公園里葬禮的回音 在漫天飛行
送你的白色玫瑰　在純黑的環境凋零
烏鴉在樹枝上詭異的很安靜　　
靜靜聽　我黑色的大衣　想溫暖妳
日漸冰冷的回憶 走過的走過的生命
啊~四周瀰漫霧氣
啊~我在空曠的墓地
老去後還愛你

CHORUS
#為你彈奏蕭邦的夜曲
紀念我死去的愛情
跟夜風一樣的聲音
心碎的很好聽
手在鍵盤敲很輕
我給的思念很小心
你埋葬的地方叫幽冥

為你彈奏蕭邦的夜曲
紀念我死去的愛情
而我為你隱姓埋名
在月光下彈琴
對你心跳的感應
還是如此溫熱親近
懷念你那鮮紅的唇印#

那些斷翅的蜻蜓　散落在這森林
而我的眼睛　沒有絲毫同情
失去你　淚水混濁不清
失去你　我連笑容都有陰影
風在長滿青苔的屋頂
嘲笑我的傷心
像一口沒有水的枯井
我用最美的字寫
描繪後悔莫急的那愛情
