>WHAT WILL I CHOOSE?
>It's quiet. It's early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The

>And so I choose.
>I choose love...
>No occasion justifies hatred;
>No injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love.
>Today I will love God and what God loves.

>I choose joy...
>I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.

>Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with

>I choose kindness...
>I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone
>Kind to the rich, for they are afraid
>And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

>I choose goodness...
>I will go without before I take dishonest gain.

>I choose faithfulness...
>Today I will keep my promises.
>My debtors will not regret their trust.
>My associates will not question my word.
>My wife will not question my love.
>And my children will never fear their father will not come home.

>I choose gentleness...
>Nothing is won by force

>If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise.
>If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.

How about the following which I copied from somewhere ?
[eeeeeee]
The name of [eeeeeee] creates a friendly, sociable, charming nature, but causes you to be too easily influenced by others. While you find it easy to meet and mix, and can appear agreeable and compromising in conversation, you can become dogmatic and forceful if pressed too far. Others learn that you cannot be told what to do and you seldom change your mind once it is made up. You prefer situations that allow a degree of independence, but are reluctant to take on a demanding work-load or responsibility. In a position dealing with the public, you could do well because of your friendly personality, interest in people, and desire to please. When asked, you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself, but must guard against being too opinionated in controversial matters. The physical weaknesses due to this name centre in the fluids of the body and the senses of the head, causing headaches, eye, teeth, or severe sinus conditions; also, kidney or bladder weaknesses.

I want coffee. If not, I'll go out with Chester for tea break.
You don't regret, OK? No objection shall be entertained.
When we were at McDonalds Stamford one night after work, her Polytechnic guy friend, Chester, noticed her and talked to her (she was reading her Sidney Sheldon book). As they talked, I was very jealous but kept my cool and gentleman-ness. He was actually 'flirting' with her right under my nose and din care about my presence at all.
I told her if he had not waved back at me in a friendly manner when we were leaving, I would have condemned him if I were to see him again.
I told her he was interested in her. She also felt so.
A few days later, she said he called her to have lunch together. I asked her not to go. I said he might be an insurance agent or he might really be interested in her. She said she would not go.

Maybe I learnt or maybe you're right in saying that I did not. And what about examining yourself too? Do u think you play a part in it too?
I remember you telling me before that argument is one of the ways to understand each other better(Did u say this?) And now do u still think it is effective? I don't know the answer myself.
But I'm sure of one thing! I'm exhausted and confused by this mode of understanding each other or maybe confused by own wishful thinking. What about u?
Do u think I've asked too many questions? Becos I'm really confused!
Anyway, as I had mentioned last night (if u remember), I need to sort out my thoughts, future direction which I'll be heading and process all the things u said last night.
What I'm going to do right now is to stop hurting you with words! (I agree that I always been doing this to you) And I regret now!

This is easier for me to respond to. You took those words out of my own mouth just as I was finding it so difficult to ask you myself.
I ask you to pose those words to yourself. Don't ask me. Anyway, you've been telling me. On the average, you've mentioned something of that sort to me once a week recently which prompted me to tell myself [I CAN'T HELP IT BUT TO ASK THIS "ARE U INITIATING SOMETHING?"].
Then again, just last night, u did put it directly across to me. I heard it clearly! The only thing still not clear is the amount of my determination and humility to stomach and go along with what you told me.
But guess I'll let sleeping dogs lie.

As I've said, I know the job is not THE problem. And I hate dodging people like what we have done thus far.
If the job has been THE problem and we are found out, I'll still need to leave no matter whether you continue to stay in the company or not. Thus, to make it easier for you, I'll probably be forced to leave immediately but that's the penalty I've to pay (and I always know that). And you and I know now the company wants to keep you by all means.
So that's it. Very simple. Because the hurdle is for me to cross but I don't find that a problem.
The job is not THE problem.
Later, I even told her I can pass her my resignation letter which she can submit to the company ANYTIME SHE WANTS.

U told me that u will think it for me. U suggested that I should go shopping if u remember.But are u referring to window shopping only? If it is, then I'm sorry. I don't believe in window shopping or practice it.
She was being difficult.
She had agreed to watch a 9pm show. I didn’t know she would be free between 5:30pm and 9pm. But I had told her I would be busy with work and I was also going out of the office to handle a family problem that had cropped up before I meet her for the show.
Before I went out to handle that family problem, I was on the phone with her. She was very unreasonable! For the first time, I raised my voice in front of my colleagues saying over the phone "I don't want to talk now!".
What kind of support she was giving me in times of trouble ?
Anyway, she had always wanted my attention on her over my work.
. . . . . .
I remember on another Friday (I think the Friday before), I was supposed to do Night Batch. She said she purposefully stayed back in the company to wait for me to finish my Night Batch. I said she needed not to as I wasn’t sure what time the Batch jobs could finish. At round 10pm, I told her we might not be able to go back by 11pm as there was a system problem. I had to stay back till that system problem is resolved. She said since she had waited so long, she was angry.
In the end, she left at 11pm – fuming.
I talked to her in the midst of my work that night. She was still angry at home. She said the taxi driver of that cab that drove her back, tried taking advantage of her. She blamed me.
I felt disturbed. I could not understand one thing : since we are both employees of the same company and she is our HR Officer, why was it that she forgot or was not concerned about my duties to the company at all ? And it’s not just because of this one incident that I felt so.
At around that day, she also did not give me the slightest support when [A COLLEAGUE] begrudged me because ... I told her my only weakness in the company is her and [A COLLEAGUE] knew about that. I told her, as much as possible, she should not get herself caught in-between me and him. I didn’t want to know what [A COLLEAGUE] might have told her. But she insisted on being his "sister" and he would continue to be her "brother". I was shocked. I didn’t say they couldn’t be, but that she had to be more careful and discreet for my sake. Not only she could not do that, she got angry and gave me the cold shoulder.
She told me : As she was passing by [A COLLEAGUE]'s dept, [A COLLEAGUE] called her "Little sister (in Chinese), come...". As they talked, he said something like "Your good friend downstairs, the one who sent you flowers, got me ...". She then asked him to talk to her at her dept during lunch time.
When I phoned her that night, one of the first things she said was that I got her into trouble! I was shocked! I found myself pleading her to give me moral support for some time.
I was very sad. She did not give me any support at all – not even moral support. She became the ONLY PERSON THAT DID ME HARM.
I broke up with her because of [A COLLEAGUE]. She called him Da Ge (Big Brother) and he called her Xiao Mei (Little Sister). And she sided him blindly and unreservedly ! Or rather, she refused to give me any support at all! What did that make of me ? I laughed about it when telling my friends. What a joke!
But later, after a wedding dinner she was attending, we met at Changi Airport. I saw her eyes. They were still red. She cried a lot – apparently. I softened.

(My note : How much of the following is true about her ? I bold-ed the first 2 lines myself as these two caught my eyes first. And I did express my displeasure to her.
)EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE:
1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you've come.
2. Enough money within your control to move out and rent a place on your own, even if you never want or need to.
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen carrying.
5. A youth you're content to move beyond.
6. A past juicy enough that you're looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age and some money set aside to help fund it.
8. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
9. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
10. A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
11. Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems and a recipe for a meal that will make your guests feel honored.
12. A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.
13. A feeling of control over your destiny.
14. A skin care regime, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don't get better after 30.
15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:
1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.
2. How you feel about having kids.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
5. How to kiss a man in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn't like to happen next.
6. How to have a good time at a party you'd never choose to attend.
7. How to ask for what you want in a way that makes it most likely you'll get it.
8. That you can't change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
9. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.
10. What you would and wouldn't do for love or more.
11. How to live alone, even if you don't like it.
12. Who you can trust, who you can't, and why you shouldn't take it personally.
13. Where to go - be it your best friend's kitchen table or a charming Inn hidden in the woods-when your soul needs soothing.
14. What you can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, and a year.
15. Why they say life begins at 30.
============================
Send this to 3 people....You will have good luck for an entire day.
Send this to 8 people ....You will have good luck for all of next week.
Send this 11 or more people....You will know your true love and be happy
for a long, long time.
In all, we went to this optical shop 3 times. The shop-owners were very nice to us. I was advised to marry her as soon as I can.
We both bought a pair of Charmant spectacles.I paid for hers which she repaid me a month later. She was cash-strapped because of her Fixed-Deposit.
