The Tao of Leadership

Had to sit through 2 hours of bullshit at work today....a talk on bribery....and we are supposed to spend quality time at work saving lives right....what a waste of time!!
The only thing i learnt was(thanks to the info board on my left which has since updated me on the going ons at the hospital!):

"Your behaviour influences others through a ripple effect.A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else.Powerful people are powerful influences.....Remember that your influence begins with you and ripples outward.So be sure that your influence is both potent and wholesome"

Hmmmm......something to think about.........

Langkawi Island


on a cable car in Langkawi Island.

Was looking through some pictures taken earlier this year when I was home for Chinese New Years holidays.Had taken a little trip to Langkawi Island after many, many years and i thought i'd post this picture as a reminder of the trip!

The end of an Era


Dang!Do i feel old!!
It was really cool to be single during the late teens and the early twenties cause it was 'daring' to be different and 'original'.And who had time for imbecilic/chauvinistic/boring guys anyways?!
But now that all my cousins are taking the bullet one by one, it no longer feels cool and man do i tend to feel left out?!
And recurring dreams about 'the bald one', 'the fat one' and 'the divorced one' being the only ones out there for me to pick from doesn't sit well with me......not that i have anything against those...just that when one dreams of prince charming they don't really imagine them with a paunch or receding hairlines!
Well anyways...i can't believe this but i've succumbed to some bullying and emotional blackmailing from the elders in the family and have agreed for some 'arranging'....ie) seriously consider some eligible bachelors from some good rishtay.....i wonder what's in store for me?!!
I really am going to miss the days when all of us (cousins) would organize a trip somewhere together, spend eid together, go out for late night suppers, talk crap, watch reruns of star wars, reminicse about the good old times when we lived as joint family, all those kiddie games we played, weekends at the beach.......ah well.....
Next time this year we are gonna have tons of 'new people' in the family...all the new spouses we have to tolerate :)!
Sigh.....I wish we were kids all over again......
