Dreams of Frustration
Some sleep I had last night : ( I hate it when I sleep through a fever. I never failed to get these dreams - of patterns, or a certain kind of pattern that keeps turning and turning. Even when I awake in the middle of the night and go back to sleep again, that same pattern would......Read More

Great news cos I've enrolled myself into a college taking up a diploma that will eventually get me out of the bank where I've been working for 18 years! After I......Read More

My first class begins this Saturday. 18 years working in the bank and I finally found a way out of the sloghouse (though not immediately), and into college. I'm afraid I may not last, or make it through cos my brain is......Read More

10 Commandments for husbands
My version: 1. There is only one wife Unless your religion allows more than one wife, you should not have any other. She is the only one you must love and adore as you do yourself. 2. Always communicate Because non-communication can mean a thousand reasons for not loving her.......Read More

Reunion with my sister
Yesterday we got the opportunity to meet up with my younger sister (Judith) and her husband (John), after 5 years! It was really great cos all my family members are in Sabah, East Malaysia, and we don't usually fly back home frequently due to the high cost of travelling. Hope I'll be able to......Read More

Feeling down :(
Today I am feeling down the whole day cos I think I may have made someone misunderstood my intention. I don't blame the other person, but I blame myself for getting over-excited until my actions seemed a little out of control. I hope she will come to understand that my intention is always......Read More
