Excerpts from "Letters to My Son" by Kent Nerburn

It is a mystery why we fall in love.
It is a mystery how it happens.
It is a mystery when it comes.
It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.
Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of love will come to you in full flower, and you will take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty.
This is a dream we all share.
More often, it will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.
When this happens to young people, they too often try to grasp the love and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a gift that is freely given and a gift that just as freely, moves away.
They want answers when there are no answers.
They want to know what is wrong in them that makes the other person no longer love them, or they try to get their lover to change, thinking that if some small things were different, love would bloom again.
If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.
The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as a need.
They crease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love.
Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going.
You can embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

you have absolutely no idea how terrified i was when making this particular call.. we were told to call as the call centre was expecting some visitors.. and as soon as i greet the customer.. the visitors crowd around me.. however.. guess i should count myself lucky as nothing went wrong.. (: anyway.. another week has passed.. which means that i am now left with only 7 weeks in the call centre.. (:

"Life is for Living, Live It!"
(credits to diana)
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much, you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens.
But often we look so long at the closed door, we don't see the one which has been opened to us.
Don't go for looks, they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth, it can fade away.
Go for someone who can makes you smile.
Because a smile can make a dark day bright.
Dream what you want to dream.
Go where you want to go.
Be who you want to be.
Because you only have one life and one chance to do the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.
You can't go forward until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
Live your life so that at the end, you're the one smiling when everyone around you is crying.
Don't count years - count memories.
Life is not measured by the number of breath we take.
But, by the moments that take our breath away.

as days pass.. i am getting more and more lazy to make the phone calls.. all i can do is.. put on the headset.. look at the data.. choose 1 customer to call.. dial the respective number.. and hope that it will be a completed survey.. (: i seriously wonder.. is there anything else that can be more boring than this?? well.. at least i have a good news.. 8 more weeks of this instead of 9.. (: now.. there is another part of my tep that is on the way.. personal selling.. 1 which i got to pin hope to produce good result on.. because.. the whole process of my tep would be of use for my future resume.. (: sounds good..

having to report to school daily by 8.30am and yet only start calling at 10am is boring me out.. all i can do is sit by my work station and hope that time pass faster.. and maybe.. do a little filtering of the data as well.. (: anyway.. it is ok.. since i do not benefit even if i hit the target.. besides.. i am not paid to do this.. instead.. i pay school fees to do this.. sounds stupid?? (:

today is the first day of tep.. (: well.. was rather reluctant to wake up at 6am this morning.. maybe because i am used to the sleeping hours during my holiday.. (: anyway.. we had role play among ourselves as training.. so far.. it appears to be rather fun.. but of course.. things will be different if we are to handle real customers.. especially those nasty customers.. (:
