Creativity

________________________

Everyone has a creative streak to them, and under time-constraints and pressure, this creativity is expanded and great ideas are the result. The things I've personally come up with are crazy and varied from sticking a cucumber on a cardboard display to a magnifiying glass effect to enhance the title of one of my posters. Check out those cute lil purses that my mates Mimi & co stitched themselves for the event, each matching her dress.

Reticuline

Reticuline is a precursor of opium alkaloids and is used as the byproduct to detect opium because it is not present in heroin and morphine. I had to give a talk about this back in 2005 and did a miserable job I guess simply because I didn't dig deep enough into its mass spectrums. I still don't get mass spectrometry.

Well, please meet Miss Reticuline (taken from another website and altered)

Compliments

Every person needs a another person who will be the solid rock in their lives. They need someone to turn to when the going gets tough. They need someone to break down infront of. They need someone who will love them unconditionally no matter how bad or how down they become. But most importantly, they need someone who will always believe in them and never set a doubt towards them. This believer is not always a lover, but ranges from a parent, to a sibling or even a friend.

We all crave the existence of this person in our lives. We want someone to love us unconditionally and believe in us, whether we're straight, or gay; whether we're religious or pimps. We all deserve to share our existence with this believer. Their believe in us would create wonders and push us towards our biggest horizons.

It's an unspoken rule in my opinion but all immediate family members should be believers. They should be our solid rocks. They should consume this role because blood is thicker than water.

Then, what happens when the people closest to us stop believing in us and start judging us? What if a religious mother stopped loving her child simply because they turned gay? What if a father disowned his son simply because the son pimped for a living? That's not right at all. 2 kinds of love should be definite and unconditional: 1) The mutual love with GOD. 2) The love of a parent.

How will we grow, expand and soar new horizons if the people closest to us stopped believing in us?

I hope to GOD, I never stop believing and supporting my close loved ones. And may this be a reminder for the future. Remember, believe in me, Love me.

Patience

<== Carlito's humour.

I never was a very patient person, always in a rush to get there fast; always in a rush to achieve results even faster, always in a rush to get approval. I never realised that had I been a bit less hasty, I could have avoided alot of mistakes, and would've made less ennemies. Sometimes destiny forces a situation upon you where you MUST be patient and I guess this is what's happenning to me right now. Perhaps relaxing at home isn't that bad after all. All will happen in due course and for now I should learn driving skills until my career takes off. 

Congratz on the new baby girl.

Rejection

Cute shoeboxes.......
_____________________________

Okay, so I got my first rejection. Reason for that? Apparently I am over qualified. All over the world, there is a fear from those who speak eloquently and have obtained their higher degrees and qualifications. There's a fear that a job was offered to those, perhaps one day those will replace them and reach higher positions before. So why offer the job to a graduate who will take their position and be promoted faster and payed higher, when local university graduates will work for less and won't 'steal' their jobs.

I don't mind what position I start at. I don't mind if I am underpaid at first. I want to start from scratch and work my way up the ladder with my own hard work. My friends say those work ethics do not exist nowadays, and that if you want to go places you must know 'people' and have an excess of vitamin 'wow'. Oh well.

In the meantime, I should be learning to drive.

On another note, I've discovered a great ice cream place, I mean, a Gelato place. Exotic flavors from Mangoes, to Banana& pineapple. But my absolute favorite is Kids chocolate. To me, that's the best chocolate ice cream I have tasted in the whole wide world.
