Jigsaw Puzzle

Relationships are always two-way. It is when you have met the perfect match that things will last long. You know when you have not done your part in it.

I am now looking forward to the perfect fit. A new endeavour.

PS: I really like the phrase 'perfect fit'. Although nobody or nothing is perfect, it is actually a rather good phrase. I first heard about it when I went for a US application talk. That was the theme.

PPS: Speaking of jigsaw puzzle, I have always wanted to put together a thousand-piece one of a scenery. Must be a great feeling when accomplished. We'll see.

Which comes first?

This very interesting question caught my attention while I was listening to Lite FM.

Nagging and procrastination. Which comes first?

Somehow, this sounds like a trick question. It is like one of those pictures which a psychologist use to ask people to gauge their personalities.

Either way, it will depict a negative personality.
If procrastination comes first, we may conclude that you are a lazy person as the Malay saying goes 'bagai lembu dicucuk hidung'. Only when people constantly tell you to take an action will you do it.
If nagging comes first, then we can say that you are a stubborn person. It is because you are so sick of people nagging you around that you decide to procrastinate.

How is that for a question? Remember the more famous one? 'Egg or chicken, which comes first?'

Talk, my friend

I personally like talking to people as a way to release stress. It does not have to be pouring all your problems to a friend. Just a normal chat on anything at all can make me feel better. Talking about random things with a friend, usually brings a smile back.

People who have common issues also flock together. When a person has a problem, the constant thing in mind is that he wishes that somebody would understand what he is going through. And so, when he finds people in the same shoes, it figuratively lifts up some of the burden. (Speaking of this suddenly reminds me of Liverpool FC's club anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone".) He then realises that things are not that dreadful. Gloomy days will be over soon, sunshine will come.
The way I put it, you may think that I am making light of it. All I can say is JUST BELIEVE.

For me, my parents are my greatest supporters. I hereby wish everyone would have a greatest supporter in their lives. Also, persevere.

Bibi Aisha, 18, who was disfigured as retribution for fleeing her husband’s house in Oruzgan province, in the centre of Afghanistan. At the age of 12, Aisha and her younger sister were given to the family of a Taliban fighter under a Pashtun tribal custom for settling disputes. When she reached puberty, she married him, but she later returned to her parents’ home, complaining of violent treatment by her in-laws. Men came by one night and demanded that she be handed over to be punished for running away. Aisha was taken to a mountain clearing, where she was held down and first had her ears sliced off, then her nose. In local culture, a man who has been shamed by his wife is said to have lost his nose, and such treatment is considered punishment in kind. Aisha was abandoned, but later rescued and taken to a shelter in Kabul run by the aid organisation Women For Afghan Women, where she was treated and given psychological help. She was later taken to America, where she received counselling and reconstructive surgery

Coming Soon...

I doubt anybody actually reads my blog. Readers, if any at all, I think I am giving the blog a makeover. It looks rather simple and dull now. More interesting posts will be up.

It is about 10 more days to Chinese New Year and A Level Results Day. So, good luck fellow students!

Random shoutout to January babies. Happy Birthday! have a great year ahead. :D

2012, here we go

New year resolutions. I don't usually have an official list of them every year. They are just kind of some notes in my mind.

Have more 'been there, done that' moments.
Look at things from different perspective, (not that I didn't before) just feel like I should equip myself with more knowledge.
Learn some skills.

zee little first post of 2012........... :D

Goodbye, 2011!

While we welcome the year of 2012 and making resolutions, let us reflect upon this past year. Don't just rush into a new year thinking it will be a new beginning and just sweeping things gone by under the carpet. Take a moment to go through the good times and tough times.

As I type on, everything in my mind points to only one conclusion.

"Time passes so fast."

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. And as the rascals go back to school next week, I wish them well in their studies. :)
