It has been an exciting couple of weeks....
From shopping in Bangkok with my dear bimbo (& himbo) babes... To roughing it out in Philippines.
Juz came back from The Philippines in like 5 hours? HAHA... I can forget about sleeping as I return to the little budget terminal.
Philippines has been awesome, other than the fact that I get to meet Aunty Merla!!! I miss her already.... hehe... And all the people I meet at each house I visit! I'm totally immersed into the culture of the Philippines. At this moment, I have a thousand thoughts about the country. Which is just too difficult to pen down considering I have to figure out how to stuff 12 days of barang-barang into a miserable backpacker backpack. I love my little black luggage trolley.... But it juz doesn seem so functional in little Vietnam.
I guess only a visit to the country could do justice to the many prejudices and stereotypes that the media pay service to.
2 more days to my little bungalow house at the beach resort in Phan thiet.... Totally looking forward to that.
Miss my little Bimbo Numero 1 and LYKE members.... :$ and of course my dear CIndy who's coming to sing.

I enjoy...
There are many things I enjoy in life. Like having a yummy cake with tea for lunch, catching up with my dear girlfriends over the 'watsups' in their lives, travelling all over the globe, spending time in God's presence. blah blah...
But I guess one thing I enjoy is seeing how others enjoy. Ok, this probably sounds a little crude. Let me rephrase. I have a sense of delight and enjoyment when I see joy and delight in others.
The sense of achievement and pride as seen on the elderly man playing erhu on the busy roads of Orchard. Or the frail and petite figure of the ice-cream seller overpowered by the large, bulky ice cream refrigerator.
The group of old ladies gathering at the void deck at Block 241 for their daily 'card-playing game' which involves a little money-exchanging activity.
Most of all, I enjoy seeing he glistening eyes of focus and motivation in SS eyes as he moulds the doughs of plasticine onto the table. The figure slowly unfolds into a giraffe with a colourful body. His fingers moulds the ears and legs of the giraffe, as they trail along the sillhouete, creating a giraffe literally ready to leap off the table surface. He does so in a slow and unhastened fashion. It seemed as if time took a standstill as you appreciate how he moulds his little giraffe, with such tenacity and devotion. Irrelevant and socially inappropriate remarks are replaced with all attention devoted to his little art work. At that point of time, the 'Bang and Olufsen' headphones over his head seems to be more of an accessory rather than a utility tool of soundproofing. Upon completion, he returns to the SS that we know of. Probably as Theresa says, he's doing it just to humor us...

Trust your Country
The MOST intellectual quote in the movie 'Harold & Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay', as quote from 'President Bush'
"Listen, you don't have to trust the government to be a good American. You just have to believe in your country."
How apt... probably the Lee family could learn a thing or two from this...

A Piece of Me...
For people asking whats up with me this summer, I basically answer them with the reply 'doing random stuff'. Which is really true...
So... the whole world basically wants a piece of me... well, literally.
Maimai wants me to help out with her updating stuff and coaching shawn during school hols.
Need to practice & perfect my swings! Before I can hit the course... been lazy with practices since exams ended. heheh..
Maida asks to go to KL next week! ('fretting' exclamation mark btw)
Psychological Services Branch, MOE just called TODAY to start internship on the following day. Talk about 'impromptu'... It doesn pay. But I think it should be a good learning experience in the area of educational psychology (it better be!)
Facilitor job for children-programs at CCs
Citibank-YMCA Youth For Cause competition: which is progressing REALLY slowly. whoever wants to sponsor an art gallery (or CASH), pls let me know.
Launching HI (Hearing-Impaired) ministry's very first outreach on 31/5! Time to brush up on my sign language...
Peg's admin job at Northlight School. She's asked me a couple of times about it and I feel bad taking so long to give her a reply.
Yeah... these shld be it. Till I remember anything else or something else crops up!

DINNER!
So... after completing a marathon viewing of my korean drama serial on mysoju.com, i decided to check out 'speadelove.com'. ANyway, the drama serial ending was crap! my handsome guy didn get to be together with the gal! Ok. i sound bimbotic now... anyway, i clicked on the latest post and chekc this out:
A group of people were asked to look and observe at pond full fishes. At the end of it, there were asked to describe what they see in as much detail as possible.
There were two distinct responses that came out of this little exercise.
One group of people would vividly describe how a fish looks like, how it swims, the different colors it has. They were very meticulous with the details.
Another group would describe the pond, give a rough estimate of the number of fishes and also talk about the pond's surrounding.
Regardless of their responses, both groups were very successful at what they do and excel in it. One noticable difference is that they generally work at a different levels in their organizations, whether as a person who gets things done or a person who plan how things gets done.
What do you see?
