With 2008 wrapping up rather quickly, I can't help but reflect on the past...
2008 was a little shaky for all of us in terms of economy and political instability, on a personal note, the 1st few months was a bit bumpy but the following months was rewarding.... I am humbled to say that it has been a year of growth for me as well...
I want to say a huge "thank you " :
To Phil who's been my inspiration... To my ever valuable family and friends - love prevails to all of us... I love you all as always...
And to you, who's reading this post right now, thank you once again for entrusting your time.
I can honestly say that I am more excited to 2009.
Cheers to everyone, have a happy new year!
That's all!

Your thoughts show
This was by our HR director... Make sense :)
Your thoughts show
Thoughts can feel like they are private and hidden deep inside of you. Yet they have an influence that extends far beyond you.
What if others could know what you were thinking? Would it change the content of your thoughts? In many ways, other people can and do know what you are thinking. Because your thoughts are faithfully expressed by the life you lead.
If you're constantly thinking negative, limiting thoughts, people will be able to tell just by looking at you and your life's conditions. In the same way, when you fill your mind with positive, empowering thoughts, that will be wonderfully obvious.
You might be able to hide the specific details of your thoughts. Yet you cannot hide the true nature of those thoughts. Your thoughts, whatever they may be, are expressed in every aspect of your life. Continually guide those thoughts to positive places, and your whole world will follow.

Kenny's roast & grill
Kenny's roast and grill is the newest resto in Powerplant mall; the 1st question I asked before dining was if it’s the same as Kenny Rogers’s roaster. Alas! It is but the concept is different.
The ambiance is classy, sophisticated and is very inviting that's why we were magnetized into eating there... Oh, also the thought of "fast food" was on our mind.
Anywoo, unlike other Kenny Rogers chain, you don't have to line up; a menu will be presented as soon as you sit. And the famous corn muffin is now being served as a freebies and is now flat and being called corn bread, it looks like this now:
I ordered for classic chicken platter (if I remember it correctly) est. @ P250, it consists of 1/4 chicken, herbed mashed potato and veggies. Oooopss, I apologize for not taking picture of our main course, we waited for more than 25 minutes for our food to arrive and we only got less than 20 minutes to eat our meal since we have to catch twilight. Well, basically the classic wood-fire roasted Kenny chicken taste exactly the same, the mashed potato taste much better because of the herbed mixture now and the veggies consist of two piece small asparagus, a sliced of tomato and slices of cucumber.
My verdict, the price is a little expensive, the waiting time is long, and the service is just ok. Shall I come back??? I guess not here, I'll go to Kenny Rogers’s roaster instead... In my opinion their old concept is much better.

Two planets (Venus and Jupiter) below the crescent moon forming a smiley....
To those who missed to see the wonderful sight - this is the photo I took that night, pardon my amateur shot but this is how it look like :)

For some reason, some people are making me feel terrible... reads... schadenfreude (is pleasure taken from observing the misery of another) but at the end of the day are you really delighted?
