You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

My Attempts To Save The World / Monday, April 10, 2006 @ 7:37 PM

I received feedback from Stik from the blog 'The cartoonist they call The Stik' one of the regular battlers from BE that for some reason, he is unable to view my page. Before, I had background music to this site but when I realised that it slows down the uploading of the page, I decided to take it away. Apparently there are some challengers with spyware. If you are facing similar challenges, do let me know by leaving a message at the tagboard on your right. But then again, if you are facing the mentioned challenges, you wont be able to view this entry right. What am I thinking. You can leave a message over at my account at BE of you can email me. Any way possible, just get it across to me!

Anyway, since I joined the BE community in February this year, I have seen and visited hundreds of blogs, mostly from the battles. There are some I really like and enjoy reading. There are also some photoblogs with some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I make an effort to leave comments when I enjoy reading and seeing the pictures. I think its just nice to let someone know that you enjoy what they have done. Its basic courtesy right. Of course time will be an issue, but I try to leave comments at blogs I am really impressed with, especially those with good writings and great layouts. What I have noticed is that the majority of the bloggers are using blogger and to leave a comment, I have to do this word verification thingy that just annoys me. Sometimes the post just refuses to appear even after I have type the word verification correctly. Usually after more than 3 times, I would just give up.


Even for my site, those who can leave a comment must have an account with xanga. I know that there is no point in signing up with xanga when some of you already have an account with blogger. That is why I have added the tagboard for those non-xanga users. However, I realised that there are some kind people that signed an account with xanga just so that they can leave a comment here! Right here at my blog! I am honoured and thankful for your support. I really appreciate the time spent to write down those few words. Some of them are so sweet to give some words of encouragements. It just feel nice to be responded you know. When there is no response at all, I do feel like I am talking to myself. But then again, I do talk to myself anyway so it is not so foreign to me. Haha.

There are also some of my friends that asked why is it that I blog so much. How in the world do I have so many things to write about? Truth is, there are thousands of thoughts that go through your head in a day alone. I just like writing so much, its a good source of expression. Also there are times, when someone say something to me and if I were to say what I wanted to say back, I am sure it will trigger unhappiness. Thats where blogging comes in, you can say all you want here, undisturbed, well at least most of the time.

For myself, not all that I write here are gossip about others. There are some things that just remain boggling in my mind and sometimes, I see a clearer picture of my challengers and problems when I write it out here. Its kind of looking at it from another angle. I try to not be judgemental towards others but there are times when I found myself doing things the wrong way because I was not aware of the things around me. I am no angel, I do make mistakes and I do things that I am not proud of. But I learn, not just from my mistakes but from others as well and I try not to lose sight of the bigger picture. I do hope at least a small percentage of you reading this blog of mine, benefit at least a little from what I have written down, be it getting inspired, getting uplifted or just having a good laugh from my stupid jokes and obsessions.

Just would like to say my million thanks to Eddie and Margaret for allowing me to speak yesterday. Initially I was a little lost as I did not manage to get my hands on the recommended cd. Therefore I could only rely on Hamid's advice on Saturday night. He was saying all these great things that I wanted to write down but due to my really small purse, I couldnt bring along my planner and so I was mentally recording what he said while on my way to Caca's wedding in the cab. Also I only had the time to prepare for the presentation at 1 pm on the same day and I am pretty sure I could have done better if I had prepared earlier. Nevertheless, it still went great. Do you guys enjoy the game we played? Haha..but it was an important part of what I had to say. Thank you for all your kind words, I get teary towards the end of the presentation. I hate it when I am teary. But I managed to hold it back in thank goodness. Hahaha.

It was definitely one of the best PASE meetings that I have ever attended. I learn so much from each and every speaker that spoke and I hope whatever that was shared by me, is of at least a little significance for those who were there. Thank you for paying attention and I am a proud product of the wonderful system that we have. I am nobody without the support of the team. And as a team, your succes is my success as well.

Just one of my attempts to save the world.
