My sister came back from holidaying not too long ago..and she got me a present! She got me 2 really nice shirts (Thomas Pink and Paul Smith) and an exquisite Paul Smith cufflink to go with it. Thanks sis! Love you! Though the shirts are a little too formal for my work..my colleagues will probably think I am going to a fashion show. I'm not complaining! It's always good to be well dressed :)

A motivational poster sitting in my office pantry..it reads "There is in this world no greater force that the force of a man determined to rise." ...hmm..motivating indeed
Yesterday night I received a piece of bad new. My good army friend's mum suddenly passed away. She was a retired teacher. My good friend was uncontactable when she passed on late Wednesday night. He was in camp doing his reservist.
He was strong when I called him yesterday to offer my condolences. He managed to convince the Commanding Officer to let him end his reservist early. It is news like this that shows us the fragility of life. Anyone can go when we least expect them to. Only when they are gone, after you realise that he/she is not going to walk through the door again, that the harsh realities hit you smack in the face.So let us live our lives with no regrets. Shower everyone around us with love. Leave a legacy to the people around us, on the day we leave our earthly body for the eternal light.
Peace.

Owww..I injured my big toe yesterday while playing in the soccer tournament. I hope it is just a sprain..and not a stress or hairline fracture. Still quite painful this morning..limping my way to office.
Wow, I didn't realise the picture will be blown up so big, can even see the toe hairs! haha. Thanks for the care and concern. The toe's much better now. The power of distant healing. =)

The wonders of data plan and nokia e66..live updates! haha..my colleagues and me joining a street soccer tournament today. hope we win!
We did not win. =(
Even though we did not qualify for the quarter-finals (this is what happens when you put a bunch of office people in a street soccer tournament, haha), I am proud that everyone in my team gave their full effort.
We managed to score a few goals, I chipped in 2 myself! Yay..Most importantly, everyone had fun.
Better luck next time.
Today is Ruby's 100th day anniversary. Be at peace, my friend.

Food for Thought.
There are nearly seven billion people on this planet. Each one unique. Different. What are the chances of that? And why? Is it simply biology, physiology that determines this diversity? A collections of thoughts, memories, experiences that carve out our own special place? Or is there something more than this?
Perhaps there's a master plan that drives the randomness of creation. Something unknowable that dwells in the soul, and presents each one of us with a unique set of challenges that will help us discover who we really are.
We are all connected. Joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design. Yet while connected, we are also merely individuals. Empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities. An assortment of thoughts, beliefs. A collection of disjointed memories and experiences. Can I be me without this? Can you be you?
And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then? What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls? Therein lies the great quest of our lives. To find. To connect. To hold on.
For when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one. Capable of repairing our fragile world, and creating a universe of infinite possibilities.
- Quote taken from Heroes Season 3 Finale -
I felt connected to this narration when I was watching the season finale of Heroes today. All these while, I have been trying to find a meaning to life, to existence, to put it into words and share it on this blog. And then I was guided to it while watching the episode. Is it synchronicity? I feel blessed to be able to connect to these words, and share it with the universe. The last line is especially insightful; when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one, capable of infinite possibilities. Let us embrace life with meaning, and create infinite possibilities for the betterment of one and all.
