Last Friday...

Last Friday was a hypertension and an excited day for me. Why I say so? It was Drama Queen’s ROM. Here I would like to congrats the new Mr. & Mrs FanofWarrenBuffet. Another thing which got me all hype and nervous is me will get to collect Tutu (car) finally, after the long wait. Got a call from Lawrence, to throw me the good news “Can we go collect your car today at 2.30pm?”
I was like *WOW* and of course I will be glad rite? So Grace dropped me off at the Bangsar LRT station to meet up with Lawrence and which he will go accompany me to collect Tutu. I was like on heaven the moment I saw Tutu. I was on heel on that time, so I have no choice but to drive barefoot. After all, it is not advisable to drive with heel, especially for the new driver (new driver as in I just got my driving license?) So I crawl all the way back to Old Klang Road from Bangsar. So please forgive me if I ever create any congestion from Bangsar to Old Klang Road ya.
So the super excited me, suggested to my mum to go for dinner in Kuchai. Everything seems to be fine until I turn into the wrong turning, which leads me to a dead end. Normally, and usually we will have to do the 3 point turn to get out rite? The smart ass Klee, decided that she should do the reverse all the way stunt lo. And guess what, the next thing I heard was *bang* and I turn to look at my mum, and she was asking me *I think I heard some sound* Duh, of course there will be sound when you bang your car right? Sigh…. Poor Tutu, got injured on the first day and it’s solely due to the owner’s fault.
By the way, my mum giggled and throw me the *I told you so* (which she did advised me to do the 3 point turn but the ignorant Klee did not listen) look lo, which piss me off ok. And I was like so wanna pinch her that moment…I so need to send Tutu for facial soon ok?
My heart ache every time I look at the dented part (please see image)

Somewhere over the rainbow....

See this pic? Was browsing through images on my hp and realize that I took them one year back, early in the morning when I was making my way to work. I find it amusing and the miracle thing is, it happens though there's no rain or what so ever before that... *hmmmm* An awesome phenomenon, I did make a wish though, advice from a friend but nothing happen leh… prolly next time I should wish harder eh?

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger

Found this article from Atlanta Business Chronicle few months back, and I thought this might motivate myself abit... for those who are as lost as me, check this out...

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger
Atlanta Business Chronicle - by Connie Glaser
Are you resilient? No matter what kind of position you hold — from sales manager to CEO — in our economy and in today's work environment, professional disappointments are inevitable. Stock prices can (and do) plummet; key support personnel may routinely let you down; your division can unexpectedly be restructured. The possibilities for setbacks are endless. And the same goes for your personal life.
Unfortunately, some people are permanently scarred when bad things happen to them. It's as if they have accepted and absorbed the unplanned circumstances and, ultimately, chosen to surrender. Obviously, waving a white flag whenever things go wrong can seriously damage your career, as well as dilute your character. Some people regard that sort of giving up as the unfortunate adult equivalent of an out-of-control toddler's temper tantrum.
The next time you experience a career roadblock, it may help to remember that professional jolts — believe it or not — can actually be a good thing. Once you make up your mind to use a frustrating work experience as a tool that can give you a different perspective, you're well on your way to bouncing back big time.
Below are some catch phrases that might be considered clichés by those who choose to dwell on disappointment. But those who refuse to set aside their expectations because of an unfortunate obstacle or two will admit that the following tips can make the difference between a professional speed bump and a dead end. Those who have weathered scandal, setbacks, disappointments or disgrace know only too well that Nietzsche's advice to those in need of resilience was to remember that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
1. Are you overinvested in your career? If you remember to inject balance in your life, it will help to diminish the effects of a downturn in one particular area. If you have good relationships, activities outside of your workplace and some sort of spiritual influence in your life, then what happens at the office won't be the only thing on your mind.
2. Life will go on. Believe it or not, a professional disappointment does not cause the earth to stop rotating. The sun will rise tomorrow; Thanksgiving will still appear on the calendar, and each day, week, month and year provides the opportunity to turn things around and recover your lost professional peace of mind.
3. This, too, shall pass. When you're in the middle of a chaotic situation, it's difficult to imagine that life will ever be different, but it helps in both good times and bad to remember that change is the only thing you can really count on. It doesn't pay to get too exuberant when things are going well or to be too devastated when they're not.
4. Be proud of the attempt. Remember "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?" In the movie, Jack Nicholson had a wager that he could accomplish something that really was impossible. When he failed and others laughed at him, he was able to walk out of the room with his head held high because, as he put it, "Well, at least I tried."
5. Rewrite your goals. If you re-evaluate what is truly important to you or where you really want to be going, then whatever bad thing has happened might not seem so dire. It is OK to change direction in life.
6. List your lessons. If you weathered a rough patch in your career, it can be useful to take a step back and ask yourself what you've learned from the experience. Try to look at the circumstances and the individuals involved from an objective viewpoint. There is always something to be learned.
7. Lemons = Lemonade and Eggs = OmeletsThe French suggest that if you break an egg, you can make an omelet, and Americans urge people who find themselves with lemons to make lemonade. It may take a while to discover the possibilities of your disappointing circumstances, but something good is likely to be there.
8. Take the long view. It might seem as if your current situation is "The Worst." But, if you can detach yourself from what happened this year and think in terms of how important it is in the long run, it somehow dilutes the damage. Ask yourself the question "Will this matter 10 years from now?" when you're feeling particularly low, and it might give you a clean slate with which to evaluate what has happened to you.

My old work station

My current work station
