"Success doesn't come to you?you go to it."Marva Collins
People said I’ve changed so much.
Well here’s the honest truth,
I grew up. I stopped letting people
push me around, I learned that
you can’t always be happy; I accepted reality
Second months into my shift work. Manageable so far or rather I conquer it with pride. Still a obstacle here and there. Experience first hand of each and every request. 3 months classroom training ; finally everything fall into places.
I guess the point here is ; what ever you do in your life, if you put heart and soul into it...give extra percent more than just 100%, the result will be priceless. Hard work always pay. Not just that, always give yourself time frame. Trial period to allow yourself to blend in. In the event that its not a correct path for you..the least you have give your level best.
Believe in yourself that is very important. There is nothing in this world that you cannot do. Accept the challenge with open heart and positive mind. Reach out to those around you if you need help. Of course not everybody will lend their hand to you but nonetheless there will be someone for sure.
The next time if we think it is impossible to do ; think again have we give our very best to it or did we back out before it is even started.
Nobody is perfect ; but we can sharpen or shape it to perfection. Its all about attitude. Simply take a glance to those successfull person around the world ; they have similarity..very fond basic similarity...Hard work, positive attitude, always give the best and believe they can reach to the star. The very best part is these people...they are down to earth.
Always give your level best and minimize those negative thought. I can't say erase the negativeness; after all we are human. HIS all mighty creation ; born with flaws.
Last but not least, value your life and those who is in your life. Do what you think is right ; be protective of yourself...love yourself. When the pain strive..ain't no one else gonna feel it rather than yourself. Eyes that sees does not carry the same weight as what lies on our shoulder.
Pity those who inherits a million and isn't a millionaire.Here's what would be pitiful,if your income grew and you didn't.
Nothing in life happens to me, it happens for me. I am not defined by my past, I am prepared by it. God wouldn’t have allowed me to go through it if he didn’t have a purpose for it. Life is too short to have a victim mentality. Say to yourself, I’m not gonna be bitter, I’m gonna get better

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world. ~Leo Buscaglia
While at work today, my colleague asked if I've watch a movie name Hachi - A Dog Story !
The answer is yes. It was one of those movie that leaves me crying my heart out...a very very very emotional story. Looking back it did change my life in one way or another. At times some movies just leave a huge impact on your life.
Based on a true story from Japan, Hachiko Monogatari (literally “The Tale of Hachiko”) is a moving film about loyalty and the rare, invincible bonds that occasionally form almost instantaneously in the most unlikely places.
In the modern day, a class full of young students is giving oral presentations about personal heroes. A boy named Ronnie stands up and begins to tell of 'Hachiko', his grandfather's dog. Years before, an Akita puppy is sent from Japan to the United States, but his cage falls off the baggage cart at an American train station, where he is found by college professor Parker Wilson (Richard Gere). Parker is instantly captivated by the dog. When Carl , the station controller, refuses to take him, Parker takes the puppy home overnight. His wife Cate is insistent about not keeping the puppy.
The next day Parker expects that someone will have contacted the train station, but no one has. He sneaks the pup onto the train and takes him to work, where a Japanese college professor, Ken, translates the symbol on the pup's collar as 'Hachi', Japanese for 'good fortune', and the number 8. Parker decides to call the dog 'Hachi'. Ken points out that perhaps the two are meant to be together. Parker attempts to play fetch with Hachi, but he refuses to join in. Meanwhile Cate receives a call about someone wanting to adopt Hachi. After seeing how close her husband has come to Hachi, however, Cate tells the caller that Hachi has already been adopted.
A few years later, Hachi and Parker are as close as ever. Parker, however, is still mystified by Hachi's refusal to do normal, dog-like things like chase and retrieve a ball. Ken advises him that Hachi will only bring him the ball for a special reason. One morning, Parker leaves for work and Hachi sneaks out and follows him to the train station, where he refuses to leave until Parker walks him home. That afternoon, Hachi sneaks out again and walks to the train station, waiting patiently for Parker's train to come in. Eventually Parker relents and walks Hachi to the station every morning, where he leaves on the train. Hachi leaves after Parker's safe departure, but comes back in the afternoon to see his master's train arrive and walk with him home again.
This continues for some time, until one afternoon Parker attempts to leave, but Hachi barks and refuses to go with him. Parker eventually leaves without him, but Hachi chases him, holding his ball. Parker is surprised but pleased that Hachi is finally willing to play fetch the ball with him. Worried that he will be late for the college, Professor Parker leaves on the train despite Hachi barking at him. At work that day Parker, still holding Hachi's ball, is teaching his music class when he suddenly suffers a heart attack and dies.
At the train station, Hachi waits patiently as the train arrives, but there is no sign of Parker. He remains, lying in the snow, for several hours, until Parker's son-in-law Michael comes to collect him. The next day, Hachi returns to the station and waits, remaining all day and all night. As time passes, Cate sells the house and Hachi is sent to live with her daughter Andy , Michael, and their new baby Ronnie. However, at the first opportunity, he escapes and eventually finds his way back to his old house and then to the train station, where he sits at his usual spot, eating hot dogs given to him by Jas , a local vendor. Andy arrives soon after and takes him home, but lets him out the next day to return to the station.
For the next nine years, Hachi waits for his owner. His loyalty is profiled in the local newspaper. Years after Parker's death, Cate comes back to visit Parker's grave when she catches sight of Hachi waiting at the station. She gets emotional and sits next to Hachi until the next train comes. Hachi, now old and achy, returns to the train station at night and closes his eyes for the last time. He has visions of Parker. After His visions, the spirit of Parker dressed and looking like himself when he died walks out of the station and the two reunite as their spirits rise up to Heaven.
The film then shows Ronnie, back in his classroom, making his conclusion of why Hachi will forever be his hero. He then meets up with his own Akita puppy, named Hachi, to walk down the same tracks Parker and Hachi spent so many years together on.
The closing cards reveal information about the real Hachikō who was born in Odate in 1923. After the death of his owner Hidesaburo Ueno in 1925, Hachiko returned to the Shibuya train station the next day and every day after that for the next nine years. The final card reveals that real Hachiko died in 1934 (in fact, he died in 1935). A photo of his statue in the Shibuya train station is the last image shown before the credits roll.
We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment. ~George Eliot
This is the last part of the movie which still bring tears to my eyes until today. Hachi waited all those years.....

Saturday ...rainy day, nice and cosy to sleep. Interrupted by an sms from my dear boss. Need back up at the office since we are down by one person today. Cut thing short, lucky me the family thingy is postponed. Immediately sms back to my dear boss, I will report to work at 12noon.
He rang me back with voice on top of rainbow like.... :). My dear lover also has work to do. Thus, it makes both of us tied up to work today though. My nasi lemak plan for lunch has to be dinner now. Got into the office, my sister called in. She will be coming later to my place, just relax and chit chat. In general so many calls today. Our service level indicator ain't that good.
For me I do not mind to come in as back up. It all has to balance up as well. Money is not everything. Once a while it ok I guess...my personal life is important to me too. Nonetheless I manage.
Sunday was another relaxing day, woke up at 10.30am. Shower then proceed to have brunch at 11.30. Got back home close to 1.30pm. Feeling rather sleepy and lazy I end up sleeping again until about 1800pm.
As a result I can't sleep that night until 1am..today sleepy but manageable.
I m still exploring my Blackberry Curve...my wish list came true. Thanks to my dear dear lover...its one of those moments. He is a man of few words but his action speaks loud and clear.
My dear friend Dev Anand still in Europe, got news from him couple of times. I do envy him at times...and makes my Gypsy bones itch to travel again. Though knowing how tiring it can be remembering the good old days.
Should in the even reality speak and am schedule to travel again, I do hope my strenght and ability is still there to cope up. Above all let time decide and let time heal.....as for now...life is good and life is great !
