Your email came as a huge surprise to me. I'm utterly lost for words.

I am super irritated! Can you QUIT asking me to go for trainings while I am on a break? I do not want to be disturbed at all. I want to enjoy my break in peace. Is this request too much to ask for?

"The 8th Habit" is my current new found bible. I so need it now, especially at this crucial stage. Perhaps it will provide me with new insights and hold answers to some of my burning questions.

I love Stephen Covey's perspective on Love.
"Love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling. They're driven by feelings. Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that love is a feeling. But the Hollywood script does not describe the reality. If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so."
"Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for people who offend or do not love in return. Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured."
Definitely something to ponder about.

I had an entirely different experience walking around in the zoo yesterday - in a poncho. It was drizzling the whole time I was there. The rain sure dampened our moods and that of the animals', for most were hiding in the shade. Hence, it felt like they were playing hide-and-seek with us. They hide, while we seek. It's so tiring. Nevertheless, I had fun with the HR team and it is always interesting to learn about animals. (:
All right, I shall let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!
Zoo tickets and maps
Winnie and I (I'll miss you mentor. Thank you for your guidance.)
Jo and I
Me on a bike
Me in a panda headgear

The ferocious but chio white tiger
Emu
Roos
Loved the contours of the zebra's body. It's so sexy.
Giraffes
Bai ma wang zi!
I especially loved this horse amongst all. So handsome. Hehe
I noticed that whenever I fish out my cam, the horses will stick their heads out like this and stay absolutely still for me to take photos. It was as if they were trained to pose for pictures. HAHAHA.
Now here's a really huge hare!
PINK flamingoes
Sam the very smart sea-lion

I can't believe at this juncture, I'm still asking myself over and over again, "Is this the life I want to lead? Is this the career I want to have?"
I'm confused and very lost. I know the answers lie in me. I have to search my heart for them and be honest to myself.
All right Iris, you have 2 weeks to do so. May I find my desired path as soon as possible.
"Listen with your heart, you will understand."

I'm lost for words for what I've just been told. Everyone whom I've formed a close bond with are leaving. I'm terribly disappointed. It's like back to square 1 for me. Owells, I should not let this affect me. Life still has to go on.
I WILL AND CAN SURVIVE.

Time readily on hand equates to more time for soul-searching and in-depth thinking.
I know this will all be short-lived happiness. I wished it could be extended forever. But it's better than no happiness at all. So I might as well enjoy it now. (:

Choices. We make them everyday. Like I could choose to be doing my assignments now instead of blogging.
I think I finally understood why I am in my current situation. It's because I chose to be.
I'm not pinning any hopes on anything or on anyone. Most importantly, I know what I want to do in my life. And that is all that matters now.
