i found this quote very meaningful in some other thread
Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person"
Its about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be
It break your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else
But its more painful to know the one you love is unhappy with you
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.

dunno why i have been thinking alot these few nights. and i realised that my ex wife has left me is coming to a year ever since the divorce has been finalised in feb...is not that i miss her but over the months eversince she left i struggled, i try to gain back my confidence, self esteem. now to me seems like i didnt really change much except that i know i made a mess out of my marriage...i dunno how to describe to u my feeling but is so unreal...i felt like a reborn baby, fighting for his 1st breathe, like my son...wah lao so painful, i gotta learn to crawl, and walk again. but this time round mummy n daddy wont be around me anymore...i am alone.
and i saw this signboard
"dead end ahead, hopes are around the corners"

Meng,
Stop brooding over the past and start doing something about your career and debts right now! Actions make more impact than words.
We can't change the past but we can change the present and future

Morning Everyone.
Meng, sometimes what seem like a crisis could be a blessing in disguise. Take this opportunity to self-reflect and bounce back stronger from there.

i googled the hairdressing salon i go to, to check out their opening hours but instead i got a link to sammyboy (????) .. turned out some goondu thought that since the hairstylist and her assistants are dressed the way they are, they might be on for ONS *faint*

Bat is unlucky meh?????????? I never heard b4 coz there's always bat flying into my house & I saw it many times. But I don’t consider myself as unlucky coz I feel fate is in our own hand to have what kind of lifestyle is up to individual.
If you plan to live in your own world & comfort zone then good luck to you. I always choose to wake up & come out to look @ the world outside and change myself to fit into the environment not waiting for the environment to change because of me.

Dodo, you are right. saying is easy but doing it is another thing. how many of us here can actually walk out from their comfort zone meaning sell car take mrt, or quit their job now n be their own boss to venture...in fact the so called comfort zone that we are in are no longer comfort...no one can assure us that we can keep our job forever,
the most important i recken now will be my health as one of my bosses ever told me this "you know actually our life is like a cheque starting with $1...which is our health, so when u achieved, gained something along your life like car, house, money, company of your own...u add zero behind..$10..$100...$1000 and so forth till u hit million...but once our health is down...u take away the $1 infront, u left with zero cos u cant enjoy them anymore...
To me, whether i wake up or not, my health is always my comfort zone which i have neglected so much...just my 2 cents worth...

Morning Chatters!
hmm.. i also duno that Bat is deem as unlucky. But it doesn’t bother me if i see one anyway.
Cos, whatever that’s in the past, has happened. Whatever that I hope to happen, doesn’t always come true, rubbish that I prayed not to happen, will happen most of the time... zzzz.. -_-"
But its up to me on how i handle 'what is happening'. A lot of times, i made a bad decision, but i learn. At certain times i handled it well, i gave myself a pat on my back. Whatever it is, it is another valuable lesson learnt.
Uncle meng, whatever that has happened is already the history. We can learn from it and try molding the future into a beautiful memory, theres no point brooding over what has happened and lament over what you should/shouldnt have done.
Each individual person has their own limitations, just put in your best efforts and attitude to improve on your current situation. When things aint going the way you wanted it to be, you learn something again. If you are feeling bad over it, you should know you have done your best, that’s a consolation.
My 2 cents.
Jiayou ah!

I believe that it is misplaced kindness to offer only sympathy, even where it is clearly justified. So, Meng, although I do sympathise with your situation, I believe you also can see that there is not much a point to keep talking about desire to change, need to change, want to change. How about doing up some action plans and experience change?
I have left my comfort zone again and again, and I got my fair share of rewards and trips. But this is what life is all about, right? It's never a bed of roses nor a bed of thorns. You get roses, you get thorns - package deal. You will know what I am talking about if you do it. Don't short change yourself on life's experiences.
And, please, do not dwell on self-limiting thoughts. By this I don't mean you should think big like owning Merc, condo, travel on first class. First things first, draw up a plan and clear the debts. Watch your expenditure. If necessary, find a new job that pays more. Etc, etc, etc.

Meng, health is important; most important I must say. But that does not mean other aspects of life is not important, that we can afford to lay aside. Education, housing, money management, family, friends, etc, etc, etc, are also important. Also, as we look into our physical health, we do not neglect our mental health too.

Meng, please don't blame Doll for sounding harsh. I don't know how to talk about something serious and important in a nice way. If you need some cushioning and sayanging, I trust there is plenty around and you know where to look for these. Doll will only talk sense.

"Road tax cut by 15% from July"
NINE months after the last cut to road tax, motorists have been given another.
Owners of cars, motorcycles, taxis and commercial vehicles will pay 15 per cent less in road tax from July 1, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) yesterday.
The tax cuts, first announced in January, are being given to offset the extra costs that motorists have to foot with the introduction of new Electronic Road Pricing gantries in various locations this year.
Cutting back on road tax for vehicles is also part of the Government's move to shift the burden of taxation from car ownership to car usage.
Road tax was slashed last September by 8 per cent.
This latest round of tax cuts is expected to cost the Government about $110 million a year.
Motorists driving Euro-IV diesel cars, which emit less pollution than regular diesel cars, will also have their annual special tax lowered.
The special tax - what they pay on top of their road tax - now stands at four times the road tax they pay.
From July, they will pay $1.25 for each cubic centimetre of their vehicles' engine capacity, subject to a minimum annual payment of $1,250.
The owner of a 1600cc Euro-IV diesel car, for example, will pay $2,000 a year in special tax from July - 2.7 times its road tax instead of four times.
The revised tax rates will appear on tax renewal notices or Giro payment schedules issued from Monday.
Those who received notices before this date but renew their tax on or after it will pay the new lower rates, said the LTA.
Others who have renewed their tax for the period commencing July 1, paying the current higher rates, will have the excess amount offset from their next payment.
Motorists may log on to the LTA's One Motoring portal at www.onemotoring.com.sg from Monday onwards to check the revised rates.

U can get Shiseido products at Beauty Language, a shop selling hair and beauty products. They have a few outlets. <paging for Rin>
Chinatown People Park Complex has shop at level 1, facing road, selling them too. The prices are cheaper than hair saloons.
