Good chat with Luke

Surprise, surprise... was just tucking myself to bed when Luke called me after the Genting trip. It was a really great catch up session. Glad that the new job went well. Hope to meet up for dinner some day... like my birthday *hint hint* haha ;P

Work today was all about documentation. Also learnt about being specific in my communicae; no assumptions. If you don't receive a reply, chase for it and not assume that whatever you have attached in your email was being read and understood. Its hard work, but somebody has to do it! Yada yada yada

Brother was unwell, poor chap. In fact, I was having bouts of upset tummy; not sure if it was due to the food I ate at the picnic or the flu bug lurking around or my monthly cycle, yipes! :P

Was so glad my colleague lent me a bestseller book on "Just Your Type - Creating the Relationship You've Always Wanted Using the Secrets of Personality Type" by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger. Hmm, maybe it will cast some light as to how I can improve my approach with people from all walks of life; Am game to try anything... hey, ain't life about experiences and learning?

End this note with an excerpt from James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas:

"Never forget this one, Nicky. This is terribly important. It goes like this. Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls - work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends and integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life."
