Hey!!! Itu aku...

Maddox's Journal - 12th September 2005.

Hey there... we meet again..... Had lunch at my office's cafetaria...No idea of where to eat lunch actually... Bored with the same food that they serve from Monday to Friday. But what the heck, what choices do i have huh... It's either that or face the heat of the blazing sun.

That place is too conjested with alot of strangers... Looked around for some familiar faces.. Hmmm.. same ol' face too... :)..

But a group of girls caught my attention. The so-called trendy and cheer-leader type of gal (Remember Alicia Silverstone in CLUELESS???)... DKNY jeans... GUESS? Tops.... ADIDAS sneakers.. hhmmm.... where did they get the money buying those stuffs (They are just STUDENTS).. Oh well... maybe they are born plain rich!!!

I wonder to myself... hmm... What do these girls really want to show actually.. besides those bulging and obvious cleavage which caught my attention (damn... are those for real or are they just push-ups)... hahaha.... my mind is still wondering.... some wild imaginations I have....

Hmmm... out of ideas actually.... Kept on thinking about those girls.... hahahahhaha.......

That's all for now, Later people....

Often ask ourselves what does FRIENDS mean??... The bond of friendship... ever occured to you what lies beneath all that? What does it takes for us be claim ourselves to be somebody's friend? Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word. A simple word that has such a deep meaning.. Which might not be easily comprehended by a mere human being......

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Promise Never To Untie
by Hope

The tender words are spoken

Each body and soul bared

Told secrets over endless days

Often doing more than dared

New world beyond my door

With intrigued and intensity

Now we have shared our hearts

A bond now made it permanently

Facing our days made easier

Despite any type of weather

Each other's heart felt deeply

Both happy we stuck together

It took us little time and effort

The bonding as strong as glue

I now promise never to untie

The strings I have tied with you

The understanding of each other

Breaths to take, we breathe the air

As the relationship interchanges

Knowing our loving hearts are there

Now we are never left on the outside

Lovingly enter each others domain

Smiling. laughing and forever teasing

But forever friends we then became

**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****

Editor's Quote : Had quite a rough time these past few days... When i was on the verge of breaking down, had someone to talk to. Someone close to my heart... So, i dedicate this to those who knows the meaning of FRIENDSHIP.

Basically, for you to be a Competent Toastmaster (CTM), you have to complete 10 speeches.

Hmmmm... became a member of my company's Toastmaster's Club.. I have already presented 2 speeches. In fact, I am the second person from my club to do so. It's kind of a personal achievement for me myself... I have my own goal joining this club.

Besides those things that i have mentioned eariler, for me, I joined this club to interact and get to know people more. Oh well... can't expect too meet young 'Awek' or 'Lenglui' .... as expected, it's more towards those professional people who are members of this club.

But it's okay... maybe i can pick up a thing or two tips on how to become successfull in the future. We got to learn from the best right? And i can say, it is not a waste for me to join in.

Some of my friends came and told me.... "Why do you join such club"... or even " This club seems to be for those elite people".... well.. i didn't answer a thing.. I just smile walked away... It's hard to teach old dogs new tricks... I just wanna say, DON"T BE TOO NARROW MINDED....

Some might find it boring at first.. but once you get a hang of it, it's kinda okay. At least here, i don't meet any idiotic arrogant people who seems to know everything... When the fact that they know nothing at all.

Heheheheh.... wish i could complete my CTM soon...

Oh well.. that's all for now... catchya later...
