just a thought ...

I was told that if you pray hard, your wish will come true. I prayed (although not that hard) and yes, some of my dreams have came true. If I prayed harder, I believe God will answer all my prayers.

Life, in short, is simple. What makes it complicated? Well, I must say we ourselves make life difficult. We like the impossible and somehow it's too impossible that it's impossible to achieve (unless probably you are Tom Cruise and acting in Mission Impossible. I never like the movie, Tom Cruise looks stupid in that character!!!), but then again, that only happens in the movies, reality, not all mission is possible.

For one to reach one's goal/s, one will have to work hard (apart from praying), nothing comes easy nowadays, nothing comes for free. No pain, no gain ... of course, this is an overused phrase, but it's true. After 14 years in journalism, I realise that my work had taught me to be the person I am today, I am stronger, wiser and more mature. I have no regrets. I now can look back and be happy, I may not be the best journalist around, but I have improved a lot over the years.

But I could not do it without my mentor, my former Chief Editor during my Borneo Mail time, George Kanavathi, my current chief reporter Ripin Mintow at Borneo Post, and of course, my colleagues. My BIG, no no no HUGE is the word, thank you to them. Their guidance and patience had given me the inspiration to move forward, pushing me through the odds, making the impossibles possisble ... and ooooo my seniors, thank you, thank you and thank you ...

Honestly, there are goals to achieve and until then, I will not stop from trying.

thanks for your time ...

my mother once told me i was named by my uncle. when i was in my primary years, i remember begging my name be changed
to 'Cindy' (after Cindy Lauper - i don't know, somehow "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was just too good to be ignored...geez),
anyways, thank God she didn't, because today, i so love my name.
thanks mummy and daddy for 'creating' me :-).
