Comprises of:
1. physical factors such as the charm of your voice, your hair, your posture, your gestures and your expressions, your physique and your health.
2. Emotional aspects such as your enthusiam and courage,your love and your hates, your sorrows, your joys and all such factors which control temperament and establish a sympathetic perception of others. It is yours.
3. Moral and spiritual plane as you reach for something bigger than yourself. It is in how you find beauty and goodness in god and in man, and how your findings come your concepts, your ideals, your friendships, your insights. From it comes the self realization of your values in helping others, and how, through your own courage, your honesty, perseverance and conscientiousness, you develop powers culminating in that intangible total of individuality called character.
4. Your intellectual level is that which you attain in learning to reason and form judgements about others as well as about yourself. It is your conscious desire to help people by adjusting to them.
5. your social face is the face you present to people each day. It is your handshake, your sympathy, your tolerance, your adaptability and your ability to lead. It is your ability to change and recognize the rights of others in their way of life or in their profession. It is your tact, your fairness, and your ability to be more than someone with specialized training.
6. The sum of desires makes you do what you do in the face of everything else. It is made up of your habits, your longings, your tastes, and your interests. It is your will to serve and your will to survive. It is all the dynamic urgencies which propel you.
7. It is everything creating a bond between yourself and others around you, and how strong this bond in person to person relationship is dependent entirely upon your efforts to gain that place in the sun which you desire.

Relaxed Friday
7 hours of sleep, i was sacrificing my zzz time for every other things in time, including reading time. Recently, i've made a BIG discovery, i could read and understand better on my cozy bed, though bad for the eyes, i find it so comfotable that i'm able to doze off at any time. It's time to work again, somehow, my heart doesn't seems to follow my mind. Whenever i'm at work, i'm always hoping that time will fly so that i can look forward to going back to school. Simply said, i like school more than work, still can't find a better reason to convince myself i like my work (yuckssss). I was always draggin myself to work, was never looking to going to work. Something's very wrong here...
Soon, i was on the bus going to work, sat at the last row, overlooking the bird's eye view of the bus. I noticed a elderly ah pek, putting his right hand on the bell which was mounted to the side of the bus, he was like trying to press the bell for anyone who wanted to alight without letting the others know, i was noticing him right from the start till i alight, whenever somebody in the bus stood up, he will press the bell. Whenever he missed the chance to press the bell, he will wait for the next chance, throughout the journey, his hand was resting on the bell. I was about to alight and since i'm in the last row and he's 2 row in front of me, i wanted to press the bell before he did, and i did it, i was satisfied ( am i crazy?), i jumped out of the bus and never looked back again. That ah pek was a little out of mind, *shrugs*
I reached office, work was piling up like a hill, i had to clear them all bit by bit. In the afternoon, it rained cats and dogs and people was forced to stayed indoors, and i was bored in the office, staring blankly into space. Received a message in the afternoon stating that night class was cancelled, hmmm, was teacher trying to get back at me?? I had missed 2 lessons this month, maybe giving teacher a chance to rest and a chance to cover back what had been lost (time), i was relaxed, no class on friday night means a lot to me, i really can rest and slack for all i want.
After dinner, my parents, bro and me went out shopping, to relax of coz, what can be better when there's a chance to get together and go shopping on a friday night, the best activity to unwind. We strolled and walked and got some stuff before heading back home.
Best friday spent without having to frowned on the thought of dragging myself to and fro for the night class.

I'm Back
Recent packed schedule really tire me out. I was like shuffling between home and school so often, rainy weather added on to the freezer temperature in lecture.
Today was POA test, after MKT class. I slept late last night after doing an exercise on company accounts and finished reading a chinese magazine. However, managed to wake up early to go to school in time to reserve the nice nice seats. However, kio was ...... she mistaken what i meant yesterday and turned up earlier than ever, we walked to school, took the lift with Mr BS, my friend la. Reached the class just in time but never found enough nice seats for me and friends. So the unlucky one who's late had no choice but to sit alone in the other rows. The day started off well, was rather attentive and energetic throughout the morning, was entertained with many advertisements by the lecturer, always trying to surprise us by switching off all the lights without warning, there were timew when i tried to take down the point, and within seconds, the whole room was in totally darkness, and i go "wah lao; always without warning." On and off and on, the lights were manipulated by the lecturer easily. Some ads that she showed was funny, the whole class laughed, but one friend beside me was so cool throughout, even the most funny ads we laughed like madwoman, she remained noncholant and cool, not even a sound of giggle i hear from her. Cool girl... Class ended early and we headed for lunch. Class in the afternoon was a terrible one, u know, after lunch, it's damn drowsy in the afternoon. However, coz there's test today, the seats in the hall was almost full and we've left with the bird's eye view right under the nose of the lecturer. Today was the worst class ever, mentally and physically burnt out, i couldn't pay attention in class and subconsciously, my brain was like lack of oxygen, fidgeted around, yet the room was like another freezer, brain cell dead, even the numbers that i wrote was like worms wrigglin!!!... Had a break, and a test after that, not too difficult for me but a slight mistake really cost my life, though never really studied for the test, i could do most of the sums... A small mistake caused my BS to be unbalanced by several thousands, i was struggling to get it balanced, knew where the mistake lies, but i was like heck care, time is up, i couldn't amend any further, luckily no marks for this test, if not :X
Sighz, my friends skipped the HRM test that was another fake test, no marks, just test test... I was there to give it a try, almost half the class was absent leaving the poor lecturer to carry huge stacks of notes into the class for those that might come in after the test. It's another disaster for this test, i've peeped at the student in front of me, 3 pages of answers, mine was like only 2 pages with no substances. I didn't apply what i've learnt and my points was like all mixed up... Anyway, it's also no marks.... We had lunch next door at NP, before heading back to school to revise work, and having a night class after that... It was raining cats and dogs in the afternoon, and we were at the study bench outside, the rain drizzle on us, which was quite refreshing, surprisingly, i met 1 of my sec school friend, Marissa. We chatted for a while and she updated me about her love life and herself, haha. Night class seems weird for most of the time which i'm in school, i was seeing the sun, but this day seems different, coz i was like watching stars...
Some day back, i met with an funny encounter with SH. We were on our way home after class, sitting on the bus and chatting happily away. In front of us was a elderly ah mah, we chatted right from the start to the end of the journey, we didn't care about how the others looked at us. About 3/4 of the journey (still chatting away), the ah mah in front turned and gave us a strange look, she was liked thinking that these 2 talkative ladies can really talk non stop right from the start... Stared at us for a mere 5 seconds before turning back to the front, she turned and touched and massaged her ears, both of us saw the action, it was like tealling us that her ears need to have peace... we both laughed loudly, ignored her and continued talking.
Some days back, work was really quite a burden. Customers could come in on a hot afternoon and enjoy the cool air, sitted there for hours, go out for a afternoon tea and come back again and not wanting to leave.... I had to talk and talk till my throat is sore, and they like to silly dally a lot. I really hate those people who are very fussy and choosy and they could spend the whole day with me, and i don't always like to talk a lot to strangers.

Elva is back!!!!
Another week just passed, it's the middle of a new week, a few days at work, a few days in school. Each lesson announced a test the following week, ended up with 3 consecutive test for next week, please let fate decide my results in the test for that i don't think i've time to study despite the busy schedule.
Today's a fine day, weather's just fine for a afternoon nap. Woke up early in the morning, had breakfast before leaving the house. Met phy at the bus stop and she didn't seems to see me, so we never greet each other, but ironally, we chatted after we alighted. As usual, the bus was packed like sardines, luckily i always managed to get a seat for the long journey to school. However, this day seems to be more jammed than ever, till the expressway, i thought i was going to be damn late for the bloody lecture. Moreover, it's wednesday... Thank goodness, the bus wasn't very late, it reached within the time and i rushed to class, the tutorial started and i stoned for a minute before realizing what to do next. During the break, we gossiped again, Ms Wah Lau was like telling us that she ogled at a guy during the class and wasn't paying attention. She told us to look out for that cute guy which i think was ok.... The second half of the class was filled with laughter which set kio giggling...
Class ended, i had lunch with my cousin and her friend. On my way home, i tuned in to radio on my mp3 player, the song ELVA IS BACK was so so so hot and sizzling for a dance, it's been so long since i've heard from her, and hope that she'll shine like last time. The song's really nice, and made me shake to the groove in the bus, so beautifully sang!!! Had been hearing too many new songs over the air, which was like quite a real time for new songs to be aired. SHE had a new song too, breaking away from their original style of singing. Heard that the deejays were sick and one of my friend from marketing class was sick too, the weather seems to play an influencing factor, anwyway, hope that all people around me, be it my friend or someone i don't know be happy and healthy always.

Happy together, Happy always
Monday
Wondered what went wrong with fate and destiny?? It's always playing a prank on me. Recent spate of incidents was buried by brisk business at my job. They just complement each other so beautifully so that you could forget the past. I realised that i can only be happy when i'm a carefree and trouble-free person. However, it's not easy to forget such unhappy incidents....
Tuesday
I was alienated.... The class which seems to be most profound of all.... Nothing seems to go into my brain despite me being physically in class. Lecture was like HUH WHAT??? It's a mixture of psychology, economics, history and sociology. I was so lost, mind was in a blank, i thought to myself, the rest of the semester will be like hell. I couldn't promise myself to be diligent to revise my lectre daily, other commitment seems to have taken over the priority of study. I have strayed off. Somehow, i felt a little at ease when i scored well in the earlier test, meaning i've cleared and understand 2 topics, anyway, it's not nice having a class in a freezer. Rushed to work after class, while waiting for bus with SH, we chatted, not about alienated but about gossips. The bus came, and SH caught her eye on the young and handsome looking bus driver... In fact, i also spotted the guy, then SH smiled at me, i understand what she meant, great minds always think alike... She purposely asked me for coins so that she can chatted and admired the cute looking bus driver! Hmmm, she really knows how to make use of a chance ya...
Wednesday
Almost missed a chance to attend class when i was late. I walked into class with 2 fellow classmates, the lecturer marked on us, i just pretended not to see him. Oh, it was tutorial time, everyone is class was so concentrated on their notes that they didn't dare to look up for fear being the next victim, i was one of them... Kio was bending so down that her head nearly stick onto the table. Time seems to pass so slow. At last, it's lecture time, all eyes were on the board... Somehow, kio (sleeping beauty) always tend to doze off... Fortunately, she was kept awake by me whenever she wrote notes and i elbowed her. Oops, seems so disturbing... My dear friend, my dear friend, my dear friend... The phrase that the lecturer always use, i was sick hearing it like a thousand times for 3.5 hours.... u never know how irritating it can be when an indian talks non-stop......... Half an hour before class end, he talked about akoi, which sets kio giggling non-stop, SH and i was like "that funny mehz", he paused for 1 whole minute staring at the monitor, the whole room was quiet, my goodness, it's been so many classes and only now you realize your mistake??? Man, you were not prepared for class right? All 3 of us got donkeys result for the assignment, haha, not to mention the rest of the class, i peeped at all the results, nobody was highly graded... During break, please stuff us with enough food to stop our stomach from singing in the quiet lecture hall... Luckily i had breakfast before class, so my stomach don't growl... OK, lecture continues, somehow the food wasn't enough to fill the guys' stomach. Noise pollution...
Today
I grabbed a bite before leaving the house for class. Again, couldn't make it in time for class. Had been waking up later than ever. Kio was in charge of reserving seats for VIPS like me, however, we missed the chance to select good seats when me and group came late for class, no choice but to seat right under the nose of the lecturer. Somehow, my friends' began me started making noise with their stomach... My goodness, it was so loud that i, who sat on the extreme end could hear it so well...
It was another class after lunch, it started to rain cats and dogs. During break, we had tea and cake, and admiring the cool rainy weather, entertaining ourselves with gossips about others as usual.
Met up with cat and fish for a belated birthday dinner. We met in town and i was rather early, and therefore headed to esplanade library for a quiet moment, you can imagine how beautiful life can be when reading a book in the aircon leather seats and having a bird's eye view of the CBD buildings. I was there reading a book on history of music, admiring the clear landscape of the sea and the buildings outside, watching boats sail by the bay, it's such a relaxing activity. Soon, the sky became dark, and it's time to meet my friends. We had dinner at a very country style and cozy restaurant, and a long chit chat session, we seems to have everlasting topic to talk about ( that's how friends should be), about our future and big plans to venture out... Times have changed, we're matured to think it through. I presented them with my birthday card, and they seems to be so troubled with writing a few sentences of well wishes for me, haha... It was my 1st time preparing my own birthday card, was a little awkward though, there's always a first time for everything... I will continue to think of creative ideas to present special days to all my friends. I was presented with a pleasant surprise gift from the both of them, never thought that they will get it for me, so i was rather delighted and happy.
Cat and fish sOoO concentrated on preparing for "exams"

The stories
FAMILY
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
LIFE
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down.
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift
Live it
Enjoy it
Celebrate it
EMBRACE IT
And fulfill it
And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"
Remember to live each day to the fullest
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
LIFE
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down.
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift
Live it
Enjoy it
Celebrate it
EMBRACE IT
And fulfill it
And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"
Remember to live each day to the fullest

Boring Friday
Spend the whole day at work, doing almost nothing, what's done has been done, leaving me to stare into space. What's irritating is when you wanna go home, some idiotic customers come by... I had no choice but to attend to them before i go home. After which, I had to rushed home, before leaving for night class. I didn't do my work for this week, no practise, nothing at all, was mentally prepared for a leashing, seriously, i knew i wasn't focusing that much after the release of exam rsults, or rather after exams, i wasn't practising at all, 2 months to be exact. During class, i was compared to a fellow musician in his teens... I wasn't happy at all, teacher said he finished 3 books, and me, not even completed 1. It was rather demoralizing. Maybe teacher was trying to cite this example to motivate and push me? I dunno. Had supper before heading home. it was late at night, and the train was quite empty, i just sat back and relaxed. After a few stations, there came a group of rowdy boys. One of them even slept on the whole stretch of seats where there wasn't anybody sitting. They were shouting at each other, and talking like nobody's business. A lady who was sitting near them stood up and walked a few cabins away.
Another stop, a young looking chap boarded, he was wearing a funky black and white mickey mouse cap, and carrying a puma bag. He sat down and talked on his mobile, i was noticing him as his behaviour was rather feminine... A few stops later, 2 of his friend boarded, and they were chatting, though i was listening to my mp3, but i could noticed that his way of talking wasn't same from the normal guys i saw. The word best describe him was sissy... He crossed his leg like any other girl as it looked as if his legs was tangled up... Moral of the story, guys nowadays have changed.

It's my day
Update 1
天蝎座的人，表面上看似十分平静， 其实内心充满着用不完的充沛活力和惊人的耐力。
一旦认定了目标，绝对不轻易放手。
天蝎座的人报复心很强，而且又稍胆小，故对保护自己特别敏感。
所谓天时地利人呵，在职场中，“人和”显得特别重要。但天蝎座常常自以为很有能力，以及为人高傲，令人感觉很不好相处，而这些缺点天蝎座的人并不自知， 往往困在里头也不知道。所以天蝎座的人若想职场生涯一切顺利，一定要学会怎么沟通以及如何与人交好，不要整天给人脸色看。

Proudest moment in life
i am so thankful to my parents for who i am today, a day which i'm truly proud of, the triple 1 date in a year, and the nice and beautiful and elegant name i have....
Class as usual this morning, the idiotic lecturer who's a punctuality freak... Somehow, somebody barge in the class, after the designated time, yet was not stopped by him, causing a commotion in class.... It was so unfair, she ought to be derived of the chance to attend lecture since she's late, if it were a guy, i guess the outcome will be different. Went home after class as usual, nothing special to celebrate for this day, you know a women's mind??? I was trying the avoid the reality of aging, that's why i've not met any of my friends for dinner or whatsoever.
Napped the whole afternoon, then study at night, it's my life...
Was really happy enough to spend this special day with my dearest family members.
