Inspirational Quotes

Posted by Shanna on 26 January 2007

I recently bought a new phone and signed another 2 year contract with Singtel.  Its not that I needed a new phone, or my contract is up.  Its just that I LOST MY PHONE one drunkard night with a group of bitches (A.K.A. BGF-Bestest Gal Friends).  Well, that may be another story to write on huh?

Well, back to my phone and contract.  I signed for a few promotional services, FOC for a limited time.  One of the services is Inspirational Quotes SMSed to my phone each morning.  Some are really meaningful and just in case I lose my phone again, let me leave those quotes here for me to remember.

  1. A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.  David Brinkley.
  2. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.  Ambrose Redmoon.
  3. Millions saw the apple fall.  But Newton asked why.  Berbard Baruch.
  4. We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.  Japanese Proverb.
  5. Dreams are answers to questons we haven’t yet figured out how to ask. X-files.
  6. The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.  Sydney J. Harris.
  7. The only thing that ever sat its way to success was a hen.  Sarah Brown.
  8. The walls we built around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.  Jim Rohn.
  9. The word aerobics came about when the gym instructors got together & said, “If we’re going to charge $10 an hour, we can call it jumping up and down”.  Rita Rudner.
  10. Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.  Ramona C. Carrol.
  11. To avoid mistakes and regrets, always consult your wife before engaging in a flirtation. E.W. Howe.
  12. Vegetables are a must on a diet.  I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.  Jim Davis. “Garfield”
  13. There is an easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune.  Go there with a large one.  Jack Yelton.
  14. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.  Unknown.
  15. A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they’re not so good and sympathizes with your problems when they’re not so bad.  Arnold H. Glasgow.

There you have it!  Guess there’ll be more to come from tomorrow onwards.  So I shall collect and collect til this free service is over!

Tired and Loving It!

Posted by Shanna on 26 January 2007

It seems like ages since I wrote something here.  I guess it boils down to me being too tired!  I’ve been working so hard in my new job that by the end of the day, I just want to plop myself onto my bed and rest!

So far, I have been keeping close to my New Year’s resolutions though.  Since I started work, I have been sleeping earlier than my usual 2 to 3am sleeping time, usually around 1am, being the latest.  There is no need for me to TRY to sleep early as I am usually tired out before the day is through!  Which is pretty good news for me. :)

I have also cut down on my cigarettes because I’m always in the office.  So my smoking times usually coincides with my toilet breaks or lunch breaks.  Instead of my 1 stick per hour average, it is now a one and a half or sometimes 2 or more hours before my next cigarette.  The only problem is, after work, I’ll still be back to my per hour smoking!  Well, we’ll take one step at a time, shall we? :p

My drinking is now my standard once or maximum twice a week.  Thursdays are team mates nights out, while another day could be with my bestest gal friends!  Not so bad afterall eh?  Now, my target is a once a week outing.  I can’t afford to go to work so tired out and stoned out and reeking of alcohol!

Next I have a few topics in mind to write, its on my mind, but now to have the time to blog.

Watch this space!
