Embracing Imperfection

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burnt toast in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burnt toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults - and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences - are the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!

i see changes

i used to be a cry baby, not so much anymore

i used to be very timid, i ve turned into a much more courageous person now

i used to think dangling earrings are awful, i quite like wearing them now

i used to hate running a lot, i m in love with it now

i used to be very quiet, actually that's becoz i was cool.. and i m still a cool person.. (heheheh..)

life's too short to waste...

hair issue

Early this Monday morning, colik W came in & greeted me "good morning". Then the next sentence from him was, "thank god your hair is still the same" (wavy hair). (yes, i did mention tat i wan to do hair perm again soon..) and all the GUY coliks were like.. making such a big fuss out of it. "No..u 'll look damn old" "straight hair suits u better.." "u look younger with it.." bla..bla..bla... then colik x was digging out some past photos taken 2 years ago. my hair back then was curly. I always tot tat was one of my best hair days.. n the boys were commenting tat i looked 15 years older. WAT!? & ms bad's comment was "ugly" hmmph! me not very hapi.. it's not tat i really care about wat ppl say.. i always get more critics than compliments on my curly hair..

OK.. i care a little..

topic of the day

do you think you are half a circle looking for the other half to complete you? or are you a full circle looking for another full circle to complete each other?

a day filled with mix feelings

it's been really hot lately, luckily these 2 days started raining a bit and i m actually looking forward to rainy days.. to my own surprise, i turned on my air-con to sleep for a few days oredi! how "abnormal" (for a person who prefers just fan for bed time).

I reached office on time today after my work out at the gym. i was feeling fresh and energetic to start my work day. first, got a call from boss as she wanted the details of one done job & the story behind why the client refused to pay for the extra charges i billed accordingly. well, one of the same old stories which i am too lazy to go into detail. because of this, i was late for my 10am appointment with one of my "fav" clients. had a earfull from her.. i knew it's gg to be a busy day for me..

putting aside my busy work schedule i managed to chat a bit with my gym buddy thru emails. trying to multitask hehe
when i heard about one of our gym instructors actually quit his perm job and started his own pilates studio. i was actually feeling quite envy.. how can ppl just quit and do things they like? you have to be rich to do tat, i must say. we also argued and talked about "shyness"; how she can actually attracts strangers to talk to her when she's alone (and i shud not be sticking to her too much hehe ;P); her strong believe in "if u wan something badly, u'd be able to achieve/get wat you wan"; "fairy tales vs reality". well, we always have different opinions. but the last one i agree with her totally. almost every teenage/ young adults dreams about fairy tales but when it comes to reality..most of us lose faith/ courage to even wanting to take the first step. meaning u choose to give up before even trying. i m one of them. In another words, we know that reality is always not as beautiful as fairy tales.

Back to work, i was really unhappy w KS today coz he was no help at all when he's supposed to be my assistant in this job. i almost exploded when he told me he was busy too. playing games i supposed?!!! (i almost blurted out these mean words) i'm sorry i was really mad. Din he know the urgency??!! NO obviously.. sometimes, it's really exciting to have many kinds of human beings with different characters in the office. our winnie the pooh's twin was the contrary. he will always offer his help even though it's not a job that he's involved. sweet rite. when i was still in my fume, i received one email from mr Shuai Ge:-

Dear Beauty girl,

I took ur newspaper. Thanks

Best regards,
Jay chao


OMG i almost burst into laughter. i hold it. i was supposed to be angry still.

here's my reply:

You re welcome, Jay Chiao

best regards
pretty xxxxx

the way he addressed me as beauty girl hahaha..and the best regards, from Jay chao (shud be chow la) part..cannot tahan.. haha
watever.. he's funny, wasn't he?

the last thing i could have just controlled was complaining my unhapiness to 210... n the last thing i wanted to hear: so my stress ball wasn't helpful huh?

the irony part was when she gave me this sigh n said.. y do u always get angry so easily.. and surprisingly still looking young?

EXCUSE ME am i supposed to feel flattered ??? i just wanted someone to agree w me.. i know i know..compare to her i m hot-tempered.. actually i know where she's coming from. it's not exactly a bad day anyway..at least i get to express it here.. i better get ready for bed now..
