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.

Long Post! Everybody run! / Wednesday, June 07, 2006 @ 12:24 AM
I have so many things going on in my head that I have to write about it here! Being restricted by time is not doing me any good. Several days away, away from blogging, away from writing, away from being able to express myself has turned me into a madwoman with scattered thoughts. I hate it when my thoughts are scattered, it distracts me from focusing on doing business. Now is the time to be more focus than ever but with the pending leaves, move in residency, changing of jobs, procrasinating in calling Samina and now this flu and fever bug hanging around me, things are not getting easier. Furthermore I have all these things to clear from work and I have to organized by home office before I start bringing home all the files and stuffs from my desk. I have a huge storage problem now. Books and cds are already overflowing and I have not been doing proper filing of notes and forms. I feel like I am hanging in between times and all the things thats happening are beyond my control.
Nevertheless, I am not going to make an excuse out of this situation. I promised myself that I will go and get the calling card this week and finally call Samina. I would have to wait till its late at night though as there is a 12 hour difference between Singapore and US. The main reason why I have been delaying is that I want to call her when my thoughts and goals are clear. Its only then will I be able to absorb whatever she says. Sometimes I feel like I am in this all alone, with lack of guidance but all the sticky and bad situations have eventually led me to be counselled by the diamonds themselves, so I am priviledge and honoured. This led me to never ever lose the faith that behind every grey cloud, there is a silver lining. I am ashamed that I went through that time of self pity. It does nothing but destroy one's hopes and dreams I tell ya. Never ever feel sorry for yourself, even after you feel like you have gone through some rough patches in your life. There is always someone in the world who is going through worst situations than you.
Anyway, I have not ev
en finish unpacking from the KL trip. I didnt want to go initially as I had a lot of reorganization to do at home and I had several plans to show during the weekend. My parents still dont seem to understand that I am running a business here, apart from my job and time management is very important. Since all tickets and hotel rooms had already been booked before me even knowing about it, I was left with no choice but to go. The trip was ok, shopping, eating and stuffs. I was agitated as I kept thinking about the millions of things waiting for me to do at home. But that didnt stop me from buying shoes! Yay! Dont I look good in these? Haha. I have been looking for shoes like this for ages, its comfortable and perfect for me when I start classes. I know it looks dorky but its so soft inside and best of all, no blisters! I can dance around in it!
Last nights open meeting was awesome, never before common sense appear so uncommon in people. Rashmir is not an amazing speaker but rather, he is an amazing thinker and reflector, truly earned my respect and admiration. I will definitely write about this tommorrow so you have to be patient.
As you can see, Undercover Angel has left and she won my heart that she is now at my permanent blogroll. This week, after the whiner post about flu and all, I didnt think there will be a lot of bids when I put my blog up for rent. I even increased rental charges a little bit. Guess what? I had 35 bidders to choose from, an increase from last week. I was banging my head onto the table and asking for help from Nurul at work today. I thought its suppose to be easier as time goes by. Initially I wanted to choose the site which has bidded for the third time. Even then, there were at 3 sites who have bidded for the third time and I was at a loss! Therefore I am going to put up a few guidelines for future bidders of this site:
1. I will not accept religious or political blogs. No offense but most of the time I will choose the blog which I can relate to the most so I just cant relate to religious and poiltical blogs. Its nothing personal, just my personal preference.
2. Blogs that are not updated regularly will not even be considered. I had a bad experience as a renter with this. I rented this blog for 50 credits, these guys didnt even mention me a bit, didnt update his blog for the entire week all the way till I left. I felt cheated of my credits. I mean, why would you even choose a renter if you dont even bother updating once or twice a week? I dont understand it at all. This happened to me twice.
3. Blogs that uploads slowly. I understand that some blogs have so many pictures and it may takes a while to upload but some blogs take forever to upload and it may bring my readers some annoyance.
4. Blogs with boring template. I know blogger, and other blog hosts provide with a standard template but if you are a serious blogger, take a little initiative to change the template to fit your personality. It gives readers a pleasant suprise if your template is different from the millions of bloggers in cyberspace. It is the first thing people see before going into the content of the blog.
5. Blogs that just contain complaints and whining. Once in a while, we all use our blog as a place for us to vent our anger and frustrations. Thats fine really but if its all the time, its sucks the life out of the person reading it as well.
6. Blogs that put me to sleep. Nuff said.
I think I am pretty reasonable, but then again please dont be offended by this. This acts just as a guideline for those who want to make a change. If not, its fine with me too, it is your blog and you have a right to choose what you want it to be.
It is so tough this week. Some of the bidders were my past landlords who have been awfully sweet to me during my stay and I hate to deny them. I must have read the blogs that bidded so many times before making my final decision. For all 34 blogs that bidded and denied, I am sorry! I could only choose one so please keep on bidding.
The blog that catches my eyes this week is Winsome Gunning Art. This blog is different from all the blogs that I have read and stumbled onto in BE. The writer is also and artist and she posts her painting in every post. Behind every painting, lies a lesson, a truth to be discovered. I am just so amazed by the talent potrayed by this lady that I am going to postpone writing about her blog tommorow. By then, I would have read all her archives. I am hooked reading her site! You have to go visit her to know what I am talking about.
I am also honoured that these blogs bidded. I consider these blogs the famous / popular blogs around the BE circles and your traffic is way more than mine I am sure. Nevertheless, I discovered that some of the blogs that bidded are also being displayed a few other blogs so I dont want to risk over exposure for you;) But I still love ya anyway!

Have a great day!
