Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them. When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it. To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it, requires brains.
If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the 'same old thing.' What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.
People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

Attitude in Work
Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. What we do matters to us. Work may not be the most important thing in our lives or the only thing. We may work because we must, but we still want to love, to feel pride in, to respect ourselves for what we do and to make a difference. Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and there must be system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Looking Back
Have you ever look back and think about the choices you made? Have you ever regret it? Have the choices you made changed your life totally?
Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives.
Looking back, sometimes I regretted helping the people that I shouldn't help. Instead of gradtitude, they returned me nothing but heartache. A pain that pierced through my heart, making me look like a fool. A fool that will say "Yes" to any of their request. A fool that will never say "No" to anything they need from me. Maybe learning to say "No" is a good thing. This will save me from all the heartaches.

Ugly Shoppers
Shoppers nowadays have VERY UGLY character. They treat sales person like dogs, ordering them here and there. Without the use of the magic words like 'Please" or 'Thank You'. Does it hurt to be just nice to the person serving you??
I was been told off by a customer yesterday for having 'No' common sense just because I informed her about our current promotion while I was sorting out her purchase. Just because I was sorting out her ourchase to help her save money, I was been deemed as NO common sense. WTF. This is the first time in my retail life that a customer said that to me. If they want us to respect them, shouldn't they respect the salesperson first?? Deserve what you deserve. If you are been nasty to others, don't expect them to be nice to you. What goes around, comes around. ARGH!!!!

Dearest Rubi ION
Time flies. I've been with Ion for abt 7 months. From the 1st batch of colleagues like Aeen & Mas to Lin, Angela, Yee Wen & Lin En to my team now, Apple, Ginnie, Syima, Michael, Felicia & Ismiah.
Tomorrow will be Apple's last day. Kind of miss her. Will miss her nonsense in the shop. Must remember that you will have to patient with your staff in your new shop. You're no longer with me. No one can cover for you. Thursday will be Felicia's last day. Will miss beating her. Haha. Glad to have you 2 in the Ion's team. Although the duration is short but the bonding is there. ION's door will always be open for you guys. You're always welcome.
Training will be very intensive for the rest of the team. Hope they can take the strictness from me and hope I can survive through this period. Been feeling very stress lately. Is it just me or the problem is somewhere else? Must try to relax which everyone have been telling me that.
Anyway, wish Apple & Felicia all the best in Ang Mo Kio Rubi. Love ya. Muacks.
I LOVE MY TEAM!!

匿名的朋友
杜松混合茉莉的風
回憶裡被愛那股激動
天色好紅 溫柔好濃
在胸口浮現 你的臉容
一起活在這城市迷宮
提起你名字心還跳動
卻沒重逢
只有想碰卻又不敢碰的那種悸動
也許我們當時年紀真的太小
從那懵懵懂懂 走進各自天空
該怎麼說 讓彼此選擇
但思念還轉動
不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
與你無關淚自行吸收
不能握的手
卻比親人更親厚
但所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的溫柔 最溫柔
當又一次美夢落空
回憶裡被愛那股激動
天色好紅 溫柔好濃
在胸口浮現 你的臉容
也許我們當時年紀真的太小
從那懵懵懂懂 走進各自天空
那是什麼 讓彼此選擇
又不僅是尊重
不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
與你無關淚自行吸收
不能握的手
卻比親人更親厚
但所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的溫柔 最溫柔
不能握的手
從此匿名的朋友
其實我的執著依然執著
卻決心和你不再聯絡
不能握的手
卻比愛人更長久
當所有如果
都沒有如果
只有失去的擁有
最永久
回憶裡被愛那股激動
天色好紅 溫柔好濃
在胸口浮現 你的臉容
一起活在這城市迷宮

Self-Centred
In this world, the existance of self-centred "people" really irks me a lot. They think that they are the only one around and everyone cant survive without them. The world should only revolves around them. They think that work should be done only in their way and they do not accept any other suggestions. They must the first to know of any latest news or they will coming questioning why you do not tell them first. Blah.. Blah.. They do not know that their actions actually turn people off.
To be honest, we can survive very well without them around. Things can be done faster and at our own way. Maybe we will be happier without them around. How I wish there's no such people around. Just another wishful thinking.......
