Not too long ago, the school invited this guy called Richard Seow to give an inspirational talk. They are trying real hard to get us motivated to study and all. Anyway, he is really successful man. Used to be an investment banker and CEO of Parkway Holdings if im not wrong. Retired three years back at an age of 42 cos he has already earned billions. But he's now overseeing several hospitals here and more overseas. A fine man, with a slight slang to his voice, had an impressive linguistic ability and almost every sentence made a huge impact, for me only perhaps. And I think he is a christian cos he mentioned God and his blessings a couple of times. Yup and that made his talk all the more worth listening to :)
He showed us this: "If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." - Colin Powell
Isn't this so....... amen?! ;)
To all out there who's major exams are coming, dont give up! Persevere and u'll receive reap the fruits of joy :) The Lord is always with you! All the best! :D

Kinda random but I think its worth my time.
Hmm everything in our lives happened and came with a purpose. Its all of God's plan right. And the recent events such as the wedding and Dad's trip to NY has in a way brought the family closer, to some extent i guess. Mum and I were so excited about the wedding and we helped each other with the dresses,make up and all. During that day itself I felt so close to the brothers once again, with all the cam whoring :) Emails from dad never fail to make me smile. Its so easy saying your heartfelt feelings through messages and all but why does it feel so hard to express one's deepest face to face? But I've learnt that if we initiate and pluck up courage to make the first step, we'll be able to achieve much more than we think we can. And at we wont regret, because to regret is the most awful thing. We can make a difference, so why not make the best of every opportunity that we have?
