Happy New Year 2011 peeps!
Wishing all of you a blasting year ahead, and good luck with the resolutions you’ve made (and not made)!
Hey but no matter what happens, just be Thankful we’ve got another good year ahead, only if you choose it to be….so make it so!!!!!
Hi peeps! How was your Christmas celebration? Hope everyone had a great one…and a responsible celebration, perhaps?
Well, mine was rather different this year. Promised myself I was not gonna get drunk, and I didn’t…YAHOO!!!! *God must be very, very pleased with me*. Nah, don’t think it’s got anything to do with my age…just felt like a nice quiet Christmas with family and close friends, and also trying to really enjoy the company around. It was good.
It was also the right time as I took on this moment to reflect upon what I have been up to my entire life…have I gone out there and do the things I wanna do? Am I really satisfied with the way my career path had gone? Could I have done more? Could I have raced more? Did I really conquer all obstacles and mountains?
And of course with the impending 2011 drawing close, I am sure most of us are wondering…”where the fark did the year go? What have I achieved?”
Does it matter? More importantly, I think, in my humble opinion, is this…have we been Thankful for all the good things (and bad) in our lives? Good or bad, they all serve a lesson for us, and have we learned from it? Have we appreciated these lessons? Or have we merely taken the good ones for granted? And only complained about the bad stuffs that had been going on in our lives? How about people around us – whether you like or hate certain people – they were all put in our lives for a reason. Have we been taking our body and health for granted – exercising like there’s no tomorrow *AHEM! EA, do you copy this…hahaha*
I also questioned myself – have I been Prayerful …consistently, with all my heart? Whatever religion or your beliefs maybe, have you been too? It’s worked for me…all my life! And even when all around me looks bleak, I just pray….and that is one thing that ain’t gonna change for me.
As another New Year draws close, don’t question what the future holds. Whatever it may be, believe that it will be good and one hell of a ride…only if you allow it to be and learn to see all possibilities (and impossibilities!) as the greatest lesson of your lifetime. Enjoy it, don’t question it but embrace the journey ahead!
Have a Blessed Xmas and a Blasting 2011!
In a recent meeting:
PB: We all agreed that black is gonna be your corporate colour.
CLIENT: But you have not showed me pantone for black yet!
PB: *blink blink*…Errr…that is because black is black…there is no pantone for black…*stupid bitch!*
CLIENT: How come there is no pantone? Why is it that when I send my BMW, which by the way is a 7-series, for re-spray, they can show me all kind of black and mix whatever colour I want?
PB: *does anyone hv a gun in the room now?*…Hmmm….*How do I explain this without making her look stupid?*…Look, we have standard pantone colour chart, we just don’t ‘mix’ the colour on our computer.
CLIENT: How about grey then? I want to see the pantone colour for grey.
AAARRGGHHHHH…….This is why I was supposed to have retired…I am really getting too old for this shit….
MY EMAIL TO A CLIENT:

REPLY FROM CLIENT:
“Dear PB,
I am so disappointed. Where are the words?”
Thanks,
Client
AAARRGGHHHHHHH!!!!! YES I BLOODY HIT THE FARKING ROOF!!! Which part of my e mail did the client NOT get? Good Gawd!
And this is why, yet again, I am THAT close to retiring COMPLETELY. No need to deal with all the stupidity and ignorance…..BREATHE PB! BREATHE PB!
Hey peeps! Yah…my blog’s been quiet for a week plus now. No…I am NOT dead, but busy. My mind was pre-occupied as my dad got admitted to hospital last week for a mild heart attack. Got the whole family panicked and was just keeping him company and making sure everything was ok.
Well, he was discharged yesterday but not exactly with a clean bill of health. He’s got to go for another full check-up to determine if he needs a pace maker.
And this incidence actually got me thinking ….my dad is really not young anymore…I forget how old he is sometimes…I always remember my dad as the young father who use to attend all my sports activities, and read books with us.
But, anyhow, no matter what, I am just glad and thankful to God for being with him and giving my dad the strength to stay strong.
