500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD ‘Why me?’. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD ‘Why me?’ ”
– Legendary Wimbledon Champion Arthur Ashe replying to a fan who wondered aloud as to why God chose HIM to be afflicted with AIDS..
Stuff of legend..
Let’s be inspired friends..
One paragraph that explains life..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS8JV-zX2D0
Everytime I see your smile
it makes my heart beat fast
And though it’s much too soon to tell
I’m hoping this will last
‘Cause I just always wanna have you
Right here by my side
The futures near but never certain
At least stay here for just tonight
I must have done something right
To deserve you in my life
I must have done something right along the way
I just can’t get you off my mind and why would I even try?
Even when I close my eyes I dream about you all the time
And even if the moon fell down tonight,
There’d be nothing to worry about to worry about at all,
because you make the whole world shine
As long as you’re here everything will be alright

Beautiful song, I thought..:)
Good morning.. Have a great day! :)
It helps to question the purpose of an action.. especially if it is repeated.
Often, I tend to find myself doing things out of habit – the purpose has long become obsolete..
So, why exactly am I doing what I am doing?
If I don’t see a clear reason, it’s time for change..
Ha ha.. Good morning.. have a great day!! :)
A good reminder..
People are like ice-bergs.. the 10% on the outside that is visible is easy to see.
The 90% below – much tougher to understand..
Each person takes their own time to get comfortable with revealing that 90% to someone..
Acceptance is the key..
To love, we have to give ourselves to people.. and wait..
These things work 2 ways..
Good morning.. Have a great day! :)
Writing my final year project. As a close someone pointed out, it is the ‘last paper in NUS. Lot’s of incentive to get it over with!’.
Not entirely my last 1 I guess. Still got 1 humongous project report to go for a design module and 1 not so humongous one. But, small technicalities aside, it is definitely the ‘big one’..
It’s a special time, staying up and watching my Gtalk ‘online’ list fill up with a slew of batchmates, who I’m sure, are inching towards their page targets of 50/60/100..
Nice times, these university days! While I may complain about writing this monster, I know that the luxury afforded during these years will probably not come by again for a long long time..
31 pages down.. many more to go..
Oh, and Good Morning – I’m hoping to nap sometime soon..
I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occassions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed.”
– Michael Jordan
Here’s to falling.. and rising again! :)
the more (people) we meet..
the more we give ourselves to..
the more we listen..
the more we understand..
the more we love..
