24

I was surprised to receive a message from somebody today, wishing me happy birthday when there was no apparent clue of how anyone would know of my birthday. The next thing I know, she came by and bought me a chocolate cake topped with my favourite candy along with a lit candle. During the busy hours and tons of unfinished work, this one brighten up my day the most, and of course not forgetting the sister who no longer acknowledges me still wish me happy birthday. Well, I believe these to be the best birthday gifts I've ever had in 24 years (asides from the ones that my family gave to me).

Unfortunately I still don't know who it was that told everyone of my birthday, and it was also unfortunate that I could not cut the birthday cake with my family this year. Anyway, whoever it was that informed everyone of my birthday I owe you a debt of gratitude which I hope I'd be able to repay. And, thanks alot to that someone who made my heart skipped a beat with a surprise that no one else had ever given me. I was stunned and most of all touched.

Paradoxical Commandments of Leadership

"People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered - love them anyway.

Of you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior movtive - do good anyway.

If you're successful, you'll win false friends and true enemies - succeed anyway.

The good you do today will perhaps be forgotten tomorrow - do good anyway.

Honesty and franknes make you vulnerable - be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest man with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest man with the smallest mind - think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only hot dogs - fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What spend years building may be destroyed overnight, build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them - help them anyway.

Give the world the best that you have and you will get kicked in the teeth - give the world the best that you have anyway.

If better is possible, then good is not good enough."

Full Stop

I'm done regretting. I will feel no remorse and will leave my deeds to be judged by higher forces.

A Gentle Reminder

*Names have been removed to protect identities*

To a certain individual I am unable to name, whether or not you still patronise my Blog, I ask, NO. I REQUEST that you do not bring your nonsense to my workplace especially when I'm not around. By all means you may express your displeasure for me anytime AND anywhere but my workplace.

Support me as a friend, sit as a customer and I assure you that you will be served as a worthy guest deserves. I will even be grateful to you for your presence but should you bring trouble or inconvenience to my colleagues and my sister then I will be forced to turn you away. This is but a simple request, not a challenge.

Lastly, as I hear that you are now attending classes, congratualations and all the best. I hope you will complete your courses successfully.

Farewell Hammie

I cremated the poor little fella who died a couple of nights ago, leaving his ashes where his body was burnt; not exactly a proper place but the best I could find.I pray that his soul rests now where there's mountain loads of sunflower seeds and other tasty tidbits. From today on, I will own no more hamsters, I'm a terrible owner.
