hermione's time-turner

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.

James M. Barrie

and it has really felt like yesterday that i reported at the 23rd storey of the iras building on 11/11/08.

how much i have grown. more mentally, intellectually, and EQ-wise. how to talk tactfully. how to advise tp without making them look like complete idiots. how to withstand stress. how to concentrate even when i'm feeling down. how to distract myself with work when things aren't falling into place the way you want them to. how to feel happy again. how to kick yourself out of the inevitable emo period. important lessons that i'll take with me when i finally leave this 27 storey building.

is there anything i'll change if i had hermione's time turner?

nope. this way's fine.=)

i've forged many new friendships along this 8 month long journey, none more valuable and significant than with the Big Guy (who turns 25 VERY SOON=D) and sister.(hey buddy, knew you like 2 yrs back, so not considered new liao. hehe=D)

to the Big Guy: those first few months of slogging together in ptd were arduous, but fun especially when the 3 of us (including buddy) crapped around during work and got scolded for it. LOL. thanks for all the advice as well! don't fret over us not being around anymore; true friendship stays in the heart.=)

to sis: 尽在不言中, some things can be left unsaid. i'm psychic, remember? =P suffice to know that i'll be just a phone-call away if you ever need help =)

*throws the time-turner into dustbin*


a random note of advice: insecurities can becoming crippling. don't let your insecurities cloud your judgement and weaken your resolve on certain issues. if you see a problem, solve it. procrastination isn't going to help. you know you are good enough. you just don't have the confidence and determination to see it through. failing once doesn't mean you are gonna fail forever. buck up, banish all those niggling doubts and prove your worth to everyone that matter to you.

I look forward to hearing good news.=)
