Personal Corner V2.0

Dear Surfers,
Hello again! By now, you would be reading my

Version 2.0. This time, I am getting more personal about myself. I have added in the face behind that Dragon Baby's smile and what I have learnt and concluded from experiences. I am holding on to my first job after graduation. Still working as a temp staff in the building outside the 24-HR Coffee Shop. Being around with the kids is the only reason which keep me to where I am. Their faces potray the innocent. The way they look at me with that missing front tooth is enough to turn my frowns to smiles. But I have to move on and find something more like a career. I have never imagine myself to be a corporate lady. Spending time with my family is more important than chasing the corporate title. I just wanna lead a simple life.....

As simple as spending my Saturday afternoon in Borders, reading the final chapter of King's best selling story of the death-row block at Cold-Mountain Correctional Facility, called ' The Green Mile ' . The trip to the electric chair is called " walking the mile " and the floor leading to the electric chair is made of green tiles. I am a tough one to please when it comes to movies or books. I like this book. YES, it is seriously A MUST READ! And NO, I did not get any commission from King to promote ' The Green Mile '. Who needs me to do the marketing for him when the book has become another of his #1 bestsellers. I saw my reflection in the eyes of Mrs Janet Edgecombe. The determine and supportive woman behind her man and the story. But what get me connected to the book is John Coffey. The gentle giant with a simple mind. Yet, he is being misunderstood by the society. The society had seen Coffey held the dead girls, hence they concluded him to be the murderer. I used to think that actions speak louder than words. But now, I feel that both action and words have the same importance before someone make a conclusion on what he sees. To me, actions and words should be complementary to each other.

Like Coffey. I am amazed easily by simple things in life. To watch the sky dissolving its colour from purple to violet to blue cause amazement to me. To stop and smell the flowers after being wet by the morning dew is enough to keep my feet off the ground. Those stars-like diamonds twinkling in the pitch dark sky can simply dazzle the night. At times, my close friend and I would sit silently looking at the stars, each of us drowned in our own thoughts. I could have sat there for hours...with that look of sumblime unthinkable happiness to be away from the earthly bounded troubles. S.King mentioned that " Life is a capricious business " And I would like to add...." but after all, Life is beautiful ". No doubt life is risky. We ran the risk of being deceived by empty promises made to be broken. We even ran the risk of not waking up the next morning as we go to bed each night. Despite it all, its the simple things which we always take for granted which gives life its beauty. Nature is one. To be surrounded by people who cares for us despite all odds is another. It is amazing (at least to me) how two people from different ' lifestyles ' could have tolerated each other for so long. It must have been the common acceptance of each other's faults and differences to be the bond which binded them. It has been 4 years now and I am stil amazed by it :).
Sad to say, most people don't believe anymore in sustaining peace. The world is filled with deceit. Innocent is lost. Status and wealth seems to be the priority. Sincerity is doubted. There is not much to loose by placing one's faith in other's sincerity. To live to the fullest is to dare and face up to the risks from the decisions we made.

Unlike Coffey I am continuing with my life. As and when time allows, I will update my homepage. Thanks to those whom have contributed their poems in my Guest Book. In the mean time, do take care and please be good to one another...
