Office Humour..

Interesting colleague that my friend has..

Incident 1:

Work that is taking too long;

"I didn't clear my work because.....


I'm sentimental....



So I held on to it."

Amazing excuse, isn't it?! Haha.. I think it can be completed faster if her creativity and energy isn't spent on coming up with such a wonderful excuse!

Incident 2:

A half empty bottle of apple juice has been left on the desk for months..
Repeated attempts to "suggest" that it be thrown away failed..
Her reason for doing so..

"I purposely want to leave it there...

So that I can see...

What is growing inside."

EEEEeeeewwwwwwwwww

Greatest Story Ever Told - Oliver James

Thank u for this moment
I've gotta say how beatuiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for
Here you are
If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad I'm your man

And if I lived a thousand years
You know I'd never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you tonight

I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in you eyes
But I feal the rythm of your body close to mine
It's the way we touch that sends me
It's the way we'll always be
Your kiss your pretty smile you know I die for
Oh baby You are all I need

And if i lived a thousand years you know I'd never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you just how mutch I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- Miss.. Miss...
PS: Tks Enjelyn for the music =)

It's the only way I know..

A friend mentioned.. Something along the line of me being overly in love and plunging in whole heartedly when I'm in a relationship..
He mentioned it more out of concern.. after what had happened when I went through shit..
Well, I do appreciate it..
But when I'm in a relationship.. That's the only way I know... And that's the only way I want it to be..
Because I give it my all in things that are important to me.. Why else would I want to be in a relationship then?

-- Ginsent Tonic Maker -- Give it my all.. Or not at all...

Quote of the Day

"Sometimes all that happens when your dream comes true..
Is a slow, melting realisation that it wasn't what you thought."

Another notable quote from Mitch Albom's For One More Day..
Quite a scary thought isn't it?..
I've always loved his books because sometimes we can be so focused on pursuing careers.. success.. status.. that we lose sight of life and what's important around us like our loved ones..
His books help to put things in perspective.. and get you to reflect on life..

With reference to the above quote though.. Which do you think is worse.. For you to achieve your dream and realise it isn't what you thought?.. Or for you to never achieve your dream and wonder what it could have been?..

Fair-Weather Fans (Friends/ Girlfriends/ Spouses etc..)

Did you see on the news.. how many fans there were at the airport to receive the national soccer team back from their ASEAN cup triumph?

Would you feel happy if you were one of the players?..
I think I would feel disgusted..
Where were the fans when the team was losing.. and going through a rough patch?.. Where were the fans when the team was leaving for the tournament?..

Just like fans.. Friends are the same.. The ones that were with you when you are down.. The ones that were there to support you and encourage you when you were starting out and struggling.. These are the friendships and brotherhood that is sealed for life!..

And it's friends..brothers.. girlfriend.. spouse.. loved ones.. that helped you along the way.. that you remember and treasure.. that you would love to enjoy your success with in future... the ones that really stuck with you.. through thick and thin...

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- Die hard fans.. the only fans you need!..
