three.

I made three wishes today.
Holding my breath.
One.
Two.
Three.

Shhh...

people that count

I've had many interns come through the doors of my company and each of them have brought something totally unique and extraordinary to the table. Today, the internship term of another two my my interns come to a close and to say its been quite a ride is an understatement. Its been a blast.

To Yv and Cheryl: Thanks for all that you have weathered with us and for being such an addition to the Eka team. Thanks for your tireless energy, your willingness to stretch, be pushed and for going at it like a pro. There has been some totally out-of-whack moments and other slightly sillier ones. Either ways, it been great. Am going to miss ya. Take care and all the best. Go kick ass!

LETTING GO TAKES LOVE

To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more
Remember: The time to love is short

and the greatest of all...

And that love of Christ
“bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things”
(1 Cor. 13:7).

countdown

I think I've done what I could.
In the best way I know how.
Not saying its perfect.
Or that I am.
Porbably far from-
But it just is.

You've made your choice.
Now its time for me to make mine.
Just put the blame on me.
It's easier that way.
That's my plan anyway.

I give up.
I'm done.

Thanks for everything.
Its been one heck of a ride.

All the best.
Be well.

Be still

Be still, my soul;
The Lord is on your side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In every change he faithful will remain.

I've been having a rough time and this verse kept repeating itself in my head. Over and over and over again until I forced to go through my CD collection to find the disc. Yeah, I couldn't even remember which disc it was from till much later. Lots have been gnawing at me, at my spirit and my soul and this was timely. God speaks in such quiet, yet powerful, ways. And sometimes the shoutings all around me is far too distracting from what's really important.

struck gold

My friend May has this unbelievable knack of finding truly amazing buys. In recent times she's somehow been able to find the most darling earrings at super cheap prices from the little knooks and crannies that she shops at. It could be some push cart outside Carrefour, or the pasar malam at this-that-or-the-other-town or at some small stall in the bowels of Queensway (I mean, as far as I know, that place is a sports shoe place, but she still manages to haul back some truly cool accessories.)

So, over dinner today, she presented me with my own stash of all-gold earrings. I rarely buy gold stuff so its such a cool pressie to receive not one, not two.... but- get this- SIX pairs of gold earrings!

Guess who?
