When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full they agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar,effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,'said the professor,as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.The golf balls are the important things- your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job,your house,and your car.
The sand is everything else -- the small shit.
If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small shit, you will never have room for the things, that are important to you.'
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get Medical checkups. Take your wife out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first! -- The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'>> One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

a couple of us interns at d farewell party at TCC..

str8 after d party was a mad rush back to sch for sports snr camp. rather proud of myself for endurin n lastin those physical activities thou i wasnt feelin dat well.. d mind reallie works wonders. believe in urself n u can definitely achieve it. d short 2-3 dae camp was qt fun n it made me tink abt tings, look back upon myself..

i feel so helpless. dere's jus so much i can do. i wanna do mre n meet all ur expectations bt it's jus difficult. n dere's jus dis wall standin. hard for me to break in n equally tough for u pple to come out. i hae alr tried my best n gave it my all bt nthg seems to work.. i m jus so tired both emotionally n physically. i dunoe wad else i can do wad else i hafta do.. can i jus let go?!

i jus dun understand why some guys can be so insensitive n all. maybe he aint a guy after all. everyting a guy shldnt be. gross! he's super pissin me off. f off mans. i hate him! n thnk god i wun be seein him ard anymre (well perhaps nt as often). n gd riddance mans

boohoo I'M SICK AT WORK AGN TODAE! -feverish, cold, flu, sorethroat- i wanna go home.. achin all over & freezin. on top of dat, dere's dis person who is so weird n hae been on my nerves for d past few daes.

goin to see a doc ltr after work. dun usually visit d doc bt hae not much choice! i want to n need to recover in time for snr camp dis wkend n most imptly keep myself healthy for d 2 upcomin camps which r back to back nt forgettin my taiwan trip too! hopefully i can get a mc for tmr to rest at home..

i hae become very bitchy n all lately. gettin pissed off at d slightest ting, grouchy, nt very nice to certain pple, irritated wif myself for doin n nt doin some tings.. i dun like myself dis way!

sun:
it has been ages since i last exercised. perhaps close to 2mths? well decided dat i hae procrastinated long enuf esp after feastin on so much durians and cheesecake todae. feel like sucha pig n i’m putting on so much weight! where did d skinny me go? where did all my determination to stay fit & healthy go? sometimes i’m so sick n tired of myself. dun even like seein my own reflection in d mirror durin many occasions in d morn. so ugly n all.. blahs. i need a change!!

mon:
went down for a stocktake near tuas area. was a rather fun dae, something i hae yet to experience durin dis internship bt it was tiring n i was achin all over due to d jog d previous dae. i m so weak n lousy rite.. reallie need to train up for su14 else i’ll prolly die durin d camp n get laughed at by my freshies. hees. endless rolls n metres of cloth we had to count.. besides, d warehse was hot n stuffy bt d pple were generally helpful n all except for a small handful i guess cos we received a complaint letta e nxt dae! oppss.. nt too sure wad we screwed up thou. i jus did wad i was told. laalas

was supposed to meet up wif my sec sch clique after work todae. a pity dat all of us hae been so caught up wif our own stuff dat we haent been seein one another much. it’s difficult to find a dae when we cld all make it. we were finally able to accommodate our busy schedule bt guess wad happened. dat bloody irresponsible driver hit lins n ran away! i mean even if it wasn’t ur fault, it’s a human life at stake. whoeva u may be, u shld hae d basic decency to at least send her to d hospital or something. our date ended up in d A&E of sgh.. sigh. aniwae caught up wif a fren after dat at somewhere near our place for a dinner cum supper ting. well found out some gossips n oso heard some stuff dat aint too pleasin. guess u can nv accommodate everyone.. okies nvm for 'those who matter dun care, those who care dun matter!'
