Thursday, January 12, 2006"I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed: and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying." quoted by Tom Hopkins shows us the importance of the continuance in a state of grace leading to a state of glory. It all falls under one powerful word, Perseverance.
To me, I believe humans are born to create mistakes and through the process, creating opportunities for learning and reflection. It may sound easily achievable, but never without perseverance. It is impossible to correct all mistakes in a single try. It normally goes through a series of cycle involving the repetition of reflections, executions, and amendments, before one realises the error made. People with low perseverance normally miss out on important lessons occurring in live and is forever a step slower in fulfilling the intellectual capability of their brains. This also means moving a step slower into achieving mental maturity which poise great threats in the ability of judgement.
Without Perseverance, no one would ever discover the power of electricity and their importance in life. There will not be inventions like telephones, light bulbs, engines, and even paper which had proven its significance. Not even buildings can be completely built to shelter one from storms and chills. Worst still, imagine a world where patients chooses death over treatment. The world would simply be chaotic.
I believe if one strive to achieve the goal he set and stand up every time he falls, one is able to conquer the so seemed-to-be-impossible. Acquiring a high level of Perseverance can generates motivation for me to understand difficult topics and questions faced. No doubt with ample trying, I may even come out with a cure for terminal diseases like AIDS and cancers. Although I may not have the time to recognise the success, but I sure proved my value to the society by taking a huge step into inspiring others to make a rebound after failure.
To me, nothing is scarier than wasting precious time in your life and giving up on self progression. It makes no difference to death.

Tuesday, January 10, 2006I am absolutely awed by this neighbour of mine who may be meant to be brought into my life by God. Had always acknowledged her existence but never got a chance existing to acknowledge her.
Saw her in public countless times but greeted her "count-less" (lesser than you can even start counting) times. Knew each other as strangers till the last time I saw her on the bus.
Never would be imagining having such a great chat on our first MSN conversation. And ironically, we affirmed the fact that each understands the other better than any. Sharing the same frequency judging from the tendency of saying the same thing at the exact moment. It may sounds pretty exaggerated and hard to buy, but I only have the choice to believe in myself and what I had been through.
She indeed is a very sincere, kind hearted girl and what she does really touches me deep in. No regrets having to know her. *Awaiting more surprises*

Sunday, January 08, 2006Remember my Christmas wish list I made last year? Well, got some of them fulfilled.
Bought my Levi's 522 jeans that day after the Open House Recee in Causeway Point. I love the fade light blue finish that the jeans have. Cool!
Got home and tried finding pictures of it so that I can post them in my blog entries and happened to find out that it is Edison Chen's favourite pair of jeans! No doubt that any artist endorsing in a product will naturally promote it by all means. But anyway, that makes the pair of jean even COOLER! Indeed a work of "Stylogy"!
Went out to shop in town area hunting down on the "missing Christmas present", the Adidas sling bag today. We went around a couple of Adidas outlets and concept shops asking: "Sorry, may I know if you carry the leather material Adidas sling bag here? Can you help me check the stocks from the other branch?"
Poor us! Got to know that they had creased production of the series. No choice... Picked the Adidas 7406 Bag in the end. It is a black based bag with gold linings at the borders. Running across the vertically shaping bag is the trademark 3 stripes of Adidas. Looking at it, one may have the impression, "must be some cheap old fashioned soccer bag..." Indeed it looks kind of retro vintage style. It comes in the series with the assorted Adidas 7406 soccer shoes and is classified under the soccer equipments. It is another piece by the fashion Prodigy!
