=To Beloved Gene=

It seems just yesterday that we were laughing our heads of over some joke.
And now 3 years have passed. You have gone to a better place.
Last night 5 mins before the hour you died exactly at 11:56pm.
Our song played "I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You" by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena.
The song you dedicated to me 24 june 2004. our 1 year annivesary from the day we met.
Earlier yesterday I've been hearing small clips of the song.
Seeing things that reminded me of you and the time we spent together.
Somehow maybe your trying to remind me that your always here for me.
Watching over me. Reminding me what you've told me before.

"Anne... your a beautiful person . If only people would stop to see and listen and get to know you. No need to change who you are but grow for the better. I'll always be here if you ever forget and doubt yourself for not being better." Gene.

I miss you so much. You were always there through thick and thin for me.
Wished you didn't go. Wished I told you how much I love you when I had the chance.
I REMEMBER, GENE.
In Loving Memory,
For My Beloved Gene.

= I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You=

[Marc Anthony]
Moon so bright, night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream, we are dreaming

[Tina Arena]
Race the moon, catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light

[together]
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do

[Marc Anthony]
Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all

[Tina Arena]
In your heart, can't you feel the glory?
Through our joy, through our pain

[together]
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I could spend my lifetime loving you

[Marc Anthony]
Though we know we will never come again
When there is love,

[together]
life begins
Over and over again

Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I could spend my life time loving you

For Gene,
"I Will Always Remember."

The Brainteaser test

Just taking a break from work so did a brainteaser on tickle...
RESULTS are... well pretty shocking for me...

Anne Marie, the number of questions you scored correctly is: 23/30

As we've noted, your score is in the 91 percentile of people who took this Brainteaser test.



Linguistic-mathematical Ability. You scored in the 96th percentile in linguistic-mathematical ability.

Your score on this scale indicates that your linguistic-mathematical ability is very strong. You're able to take realistic problems and apply mathematics to solve them. It is not as easy to apply this ability well as it is to apply others. You probably already use this combination to your advantage — by using math to help you understand problems that are described in words only

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pattern Recognition Ability. You scored in the 91st percentile in pattern recognition ability

Your score on this scale indicates that you're highly capable of solving pattern recognition problems. Often, you may find yourself saying to others, "Have you ever noticed that..." followed by a pattern you had observed. For example, you might say, "Have you ever noticed that most cars approaching the toll booths gravitate to the right?" because you're able to identify a pattern immediately, while others might not have even picked up on it.Given that you have this ability to a stronger degree than most people, you may find it's frustrating when people do not understand what you're trying to articulate or they do not think it's significant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logical Ability. You scored in the 83rd percentile in logical ability.

Your score indicates that you have a strong logical mind and are able to apply logic to determine when something isn't making sense and how you can correct that. When situations are confusing — usually because they are eliciting multiple emotions or reactions from people simultaneously — you, however, are able to apply logic to clarify things. When it counts, you're able to be rational and find the truth in the situation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quantitative Ability. You scored in the 78th percentile in quantitative ability.

Your score on this scale indicates that you're unusually skilled at solving quantitative problems. Sometimes this comes out in ways you might not expect, such as the ability to see visual patterns in numbers or recognize when one object is unlike others around it. But, as you might imagine, having quantitative ability also means having the ability to keep track of things in their proper order to discern what is going on.However, because you have such strong quantitative ability, you may be tempted to rush through easy numerical calculations, and you may make minor addition and subtraction mistakes because you're racing to get to the end. You may also judge something as "simple" that isn't simple to most people. This has the potential to make you a little complacent which can lead you to make those small mistakes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Visual-spatial Ability. You scored in the 70th percentile in visual-spatial ability.

Your score on this scale indicates that you have moderately strong visual-spatial ability. Under most circumstances, you're able to take an ordinary problem and can visualize an answer to it, even if the means to get to the answer are not readily available at the time. When necessary, you can be a "big picture" thinker. However, at other times, you may be more inclined to focus on the details and not see the forest for the trees. This can be a good thing if you know when to look at things from a macro perspective and when to look at them from a micro perspective. Striking this balance can be your key to understanding the world or figuring out a solution to any given problem.

wow... I learned so much bout myself... take the test yourself and find out... http://web.tickle.com/tests/braintwister/?test=braintwisterogt

a beautiful prayer

I found this email print when I was cleaning up my room dated 10 of March 2003 in a file
the title was "Why God said "No?!?"... It's actually a prayer... in it says

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER
GOD SAID "NO?!?"

I asked GOD to take away my habit. GOD said, NO.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give up.

I asked GOD to make my handicapped child whole. GOD said, NO.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked GOD to grant me patience. GOD said, NO.
Patience is by product of tribulation. It isn't granted. It's is learned

I asked GOD to give me happiness. GOD said, NO.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

I asked GOD to spare me pain. GOD said, NO.
Suffering draws you apart from wordly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked GOD to make my spirit grow. GOD said, NO.
You must grow on your own! But, I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked GOD for all things that I might enjoy in life. GOD said, NO.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked GOD to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
GOD said... ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

If you love GOD, send this to 10 people and back to the person that sent it.
This day is your don't throw it away. May GOD Bless You.

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world"

well besides the send this to 10 people thing... every other words are nice. well it helps in away to keep me moving on when I'm in doubt. may be that's why I kept it.

*CRYS*
This is even worst than last time.

Just Imagine my Monday schedule goes like this...
11am-1pm = music business
1pm-3pm = ear training
3pm-5pm = performance seminar
in between 3pm-5pm class with my project lecturer 3:30pm-4pm
then 6pm-8pm = harmony
NO TIME FOR LUNCH or BREAK only got time for dinner
& F.Y.I I didn't plan my schedule this way
*CRYS*

WELL FRIDAY NIGHT... woo hoo the only day I could have fun
Went out with Allan and Derek... chit chat at dinner... lot's of laughs
we caught a movie after dinner
"Evan Almighty"
The Movie it's just So So... Nothing Much to scream about

anyways Allan and Me were more amused with the guy sitting next to Derek
The "guy" came in late with his friend and the first thing we noticed that the guy was carrying a big doggy soft toy...
and Allan went "I want a soft toy to Hug"
I was like "huh??"
Then when the "guy" sat down at first we thought he was carrying it for his girl friend or something...
He started to kiss and hug the dog... We were like right... that's so wrong
and in between the movie where the lead character of the movie triumphs... he started clapping, talking back to the movie and screaming... Yeah!! like a 5 year old kids see ultraman wind a battle or something and coincidentally before we watched the movie Allan was telling us his experience in the cinema when he was watching allien vs predator... there's this 2 girls doing the same things... he was like "WTF"
but it was really amusing and annoying at the same time...
anyways it was stress relief to spend time with them...
Thanks for the invite Allan
*winks* ^-^

ALLERGY REACTION ALERT

Well The Pick Up The Pieces Concert Ended
I thought that was it for the hosting for this month
anyways when I got back to Uni on Monday I got called again
to a meeting and this time it involves the rector of my uni...
He wants Thai and Me to host the up coming function for KEKKWA
also known as the Ministry of Culture,Arts and Heritage
and even I was so tired I couldn't say NO...
because the RECTOR asked me to... the person holding the highest position in UNI..
I'm not going to mess around... by saying No!!
so the late night rehearsals began again...

Well the next day I woke up and I found red spot and small rashes started to form on my legs... I thought it was some mosquito bite or something because it was itchy and flaming
When I was bathing all of a sudden I saw not only the rashes and spots were on my legs but my arms and stomach...
In My head... I was like Great I have to get an allergy reaction right now before the function...
oh well mom just told me to cool it of and it'll be okay
Later In the afternoon in UNi...

I was busy practising my piano and waiting for class...
I realise that I was getting itchy again and my skin was burning up
I looked at the mirror next to the piano I was practising in the studio
and saw that my neck was swollen...
I WAS ON PANIC ALERT
the allergy started to spread all over my body and especially my face
and the itch was unbearable
I called my sis instantly and Khai Lieh for assistance...
and while I was at it mom called to check on my rash... THANK GOD for that
because I really need to get to the doctor A.S.A.P
the situation of me was terrible...
everyone in uni was wondering what happened to me... my face was getting UGLY...
well Fie helped me out by sending me to the clinic where I met my mom
THANKS SO MUCH FIE your the one I can count on ^-^

me and fie

Well the doctor told me I had Urticaria some allergy symptom thing...

doc said either it was the food or it was a bug bite
the doctor gave me a jab and medications as well the only thing that I had in my mind was I need to get better by tonight because I need to host the function by Wednesday

Well the allergy didn't come off until Thursday morning...
SO I HAD TO SAY NO AND APOLOGISE to the organizers of the function
well lucky I had proof and people to tell them I was in serious condition
IF NOT MY HEAD WILL BE ON THE CHOPPING BOARD
Oh well something good came out of the allergy...
I GOT PLENTY OF REST NEEDED ^-^
