A Relaxing Saturday

Glad that the electricity was cut off for an hour or so. 
I managed to read the Part 1 of {How to Win Friends & Influence People{ written by Dale Carnegie. 
Here's the excerpts taken from the book: 

"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain- and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving. Instead of condemning people, lets try to understand them. Lets try

 to figure out why they do what they do. That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness." 

As quoted by Charles Schwab, 

"The greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement."

It is another very inspiring book I've read to date. but I have yet to complete reading the entire book. Guess will only be able to do so after my finals. Glad I bought this book from the second-hand book fair yesterday in Leisure Mall.

Speaking of which, i had another great night spent with my friends.
having to walked under the heavy rain with a mini umbrella to have our steamboat dinner.
being teased at for wearing a duckling-slippers =.=
had so much fun playing with Sally's apps; photos of us when we get old and bald.
then we walked over to Leisure Malls and lepak-ed at Station 1 playing cards while listening to live band.
I'm so gonna miss everything about here; the people, the place when i leave this town. the friends that i have is what makes my experience even more worthwhile. the memories that we created are so precious to me.
i'll be moving on to another new chapter of my life very soon.
the future is still very much uncertain.
although i'm afraid, but I'm more than excited and anticipating for this new chapter.
cant wait to discover what the future holds for me.

you know, right now i have yet to confirm a place for interns. Ms. Ivy told me there's no reply from the hotel yet and friends kept telling me "Don't put your hope too high. what if you don't get your first choice, so what will you be doing next? no backups plan?"
Well I do have, but i am still hopeful. this is nerve-wrecking having to live day by day with uncertainties. the only reason to keep me going is positivism. i believe all's well as long as i persevere. miracles happened to me not once or twice, but it has happened to me many times already. that's why i refused to believe there's nothing impossible if you sincerely want something bad enough, the universe conspires in helping you in achieving what you wanted.

i'll prove to you. just so you wait and see. ;)

for now, agh. the lazy hormones in my body is holding me back from progressing in my revision. finals starting on Monday, & guess, I'm a lil' too relaxed and laid-back.

promise to self, after finish watching this whole season of Hell's Kitchen, i pledge to study kao kao. oosh. waste no time anymore. ciao!

ps: my friends going to Big Bang concert tonight. so lucky! i wished i could join them too. ;(
