I need to be in a position where I feel I am improving as each day passes.. Like where I am now.. Really loving my job with the new hat that I'm wearing. Only catch is that I could be paid better. I'm hoping that it will get adjusted by the end of this year.

"Happiness is from within..."

I said this one fine morning in response to my collegue's ramblings, "Tell me where can I find happiness?" Another colleague immediately made the puking sounds and said, "Stop giving that textbook crap." Everybody in the department started laughing heartily. Everyone agrees to that statement but because I am the youngest and with least life experience, they found it funny hearing that statement from me. The next day, there was a forwarded email on the same. It's called the 90/10 principle. 10% of the time you can't control the thinigs that happen. But 90% of the time what happens next is control by your reactions. How true.

This morning the same colleague was frustrated with another co-worker for beating around the bush. I told her to imagine him as a dog chasing his own tail so that she will simmer down. I like to do these things to keep myself on the track of positive thinking.

On a side note, I had my free cone from Ben & Jerry's at Great World today! H and I queued for 40 mins with this very bitchy middle age couple behind. Totally gave us material to gossip about while we enjoyed our free ice cream. And I finally spent my Zara voucher I received during Xmas. A difficult day definitely ended on a happy note =) Of course, a special thank you to H for being so patient and helpful - queuing with me and holding my clothes while I shop. You are the B.E.S.T.

I went cycling at East Coast with H today. Thank goodness for sun block, if not, I will be like a burnt chicken or how H puts it, "getting sunburnt is as good as having 1st degree burns."

Anyway, wanted to highlight a conversation that went on between us during cycling today:
(while cycling side by side..)
K: I never fly kite before (glances)
H: .... ~~silence~~
H: There is no place in Singapore to fly kites anymore
K: -_-
K: BOTANIC GARDENS?!!
H: There is no wind in botanic gardens la
K: But there is wind everywhere. My house also got wind
H: Your house near the sea side mah..
K: Grrrr.... (cycles faster to work off the frustrations I am feeling)

This is the same person who once hid 5 cards in my room to surprise me, bought me a 400GB hard disk, went to my office to give me flowers only to realise that I'm home early after going for a meeting in another office of mine and showered me with his love in his own practical ways.

This is also the same person I love so much until today despite him being ever so practical. I love the smart-ness of this person who can answer my questions like a walking dictionary/encyclopaedia. I love the fact that I am able to rely on him like a koala on a tree. I love him because he is the only person who can make me laugh so hard I need to hug my stomach and roll. And the list goes on….

The only pet peeve is that I am a romantic and he is not. So I will continue to give very big hints hoping he will catch it.

I never fly kite before…..
