A little love story

While driving tonight, I heard a sweet love story which I would like to share with everyone here...

Once upon a time, there was a guy and a girl. They were very deeply in love. One day, the girl got knocked down by a car and was in very critical condition so the guy prayed to God for help. God answered to him and told him that he will save the girl only if he agree to be turned into a dragonfly for 3 years. The guy agreed to it and soon after some time the girl slowly recovered. When she regained conscious, she couldn't find the guy she love so she cried every night... The guy who is now a dragonfly could only stay by her side watching her everyday. Soon it was winter, the dragonfly had no choice but to leave. Before he left, he flew close to the girl face and gave her a kiss while she was sleeping.

When spring returns, the dragonfly went to find the girl immediately. When he flew to her window, he saw her with the doctor whom saved her life. They were chatting happily, it seems that the girl had forgotten about him.... The dragonfly stayed by her side watching them as their relationship grew....

Anther year had passed and it was winter again and its time for the dragonfly to leave the girl... When he returned again in spring, he saw the couple holding hands walking on the beach, saw the doctor kissed her on her cheek......

On the 3rd spring when he returned, he saw them at the church exchanging their vows.... God summoned for him and told him that its times to turn him back to human. He told God that he wish to remain as a dragonfly to as long as he live. He understand one very important truth abot love... 'To love is not to possessed but to possessed is to love'.

Dear friends out there, please cherish the one next to you as its not easy to love and at the same time able to possess that someone by your side now.....

Tree Top Walk

Instead of preparing for the coming customer's audit on Monday, I went for a walk at MacRitchie Natural Reserve this morning. Took almost 3 hrs to complete the 11km route and a walk to the HSBC tree top hanging bridge. Its been almost 10 years since I last went there... used to attend the cross country race every year when I was in Secondary but I guess age is catching up.... I was sweating like a dog throughout the walk. All I saw was trees and more trees, going up hill and down hill in the forest. Really feel like giving up but when I finally complete and walked out of the forest to the carpark, I felt really great

My next target is to climb Bukit Timah hill...

16th June 2007

Busy busy busy... that how I would describe my life nowadays.... So busy that I can't even spare the time to write my blog everyday like the past. Since I have the time today, I am going to give it all I have. Please be patient with me dear readers or rather 'aunt agony' hee...hee....

I have been talking about resiging for a long time and due to even more 'shit' being passed to me, the more I feel like leaving. I finally understand that rumours spread like fire in the office. One weekends when I was resting at my desk after spending the entire day in the cleanroom, one of the heads in the East plant came to me and ask me if I knew of anything he don't know. What the hell is this I though to myself. I told him I don't understand what he was trying to ask and he sort of feel like I am trying to act innocent. I was so angry that I told him if he is suspecting me of anything, I might as well resign now. The next day, everyone was asking me if I had resigned, there were even some to approached my boss to asked about it and some even asked me through emails.

Yesterday as I was discussing with a colleague from another department, a lady walked to my table and asked 'Excuse me, are you from TEG?' Before I was able to answer, my colleague answered for me ' He is not from TEG, he is the boss of TEG.' Boss?? It seems to be nice to be called the boss but basically I am just someone who bear the responsibilities and take the blame if something goes wrong in my department. It had been a tired but fruitful month, been running between both plants with so many equipments down and doing appraisal for my men .. er..ok and lady.

A few weeks ago as I was at my desk, my SVP walked behind me and gave me a massage on my shoulder. This is the second time he did so, first time when I first promoted to engineer and this time for developing a application recipe that even our Japan side wasn't able to do so. My deputy MD even gave me a 'A' for the MBO this month due to this recipe. My boss was very proud of this as this is the second time I developed a receipe that even Japan side wasn't able to do so but inside my heart, I am worried about it. In fact this recipe was recreated within a very short time over the weekend due to urgent request. I have a feeling that he will be arranging me for this month Technicial Discussion Conference to present about this recipe like the previous time. Sigh...

Woke up very early today though I wasn't working. Washed my car and planning to have a haircut later follow by a wedding dinner to attend tonight. Over the past few years, more and more of my peers in Airforce are married but equal amount are divorcing. Most people in Airforce are married not because they are ready to do so but because the management in Airforce 'planned' so. They are married because they are deployed to oversea for a few years and those who are attached will get married before going so that that can bring their spouse along. By spending their lives together oversea, they start to find that they are actually not suitable for each other or they are not mentally prepared to be married which ended up divorcing the moment they are back.

Damm it, just received a call from my old time buddy that his car can't start and I have to rush down to buy battery for him now......
