Friday Escapade (19th March 2010)

Dear Fellow Colleagues,

This week’s edition is actually “inspired” by the forthcoming “H-T-H” sessions with our HOD.

POEM – OF – THE -WEEK

The countdown has begun, where do I to start?

Should i be careful with my words or try to be smart?

Don't know what my colleagues will do, i will just say my part

I will be spontaneous because i know, everything i say will then come straight from the heart

FACT – OF –THE - WEEK

In 1982, Kenny Loggins had a US Top 20 hit with a song called, “Heart to Heart”. (a really wonderful song – you can watch it on Youtube)

QUOTE – OF – THE - WEEK

“Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?”

STORY – OF – THE - WEEK

Here’s an excerpt from an article written by The Star’s Deputy Executive Editor, Soo Ewe Jin, on Monday who notes that while money can buy some happiness, it has no bearing on lasting joy.
“For most of us, however, being a millionaire is really out of the question unless we strike the lottery or take part in Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? and win the top prize.
Still, we all have our dreams. The thing is not to let the dream turn into a nightmare.
It would be a shame if after much toil, we succeed in joining the millionaires’ club only to realise that wealth gives little satisfaction or, worse, comes with a web of intrigues.
In contrast, I have a friend who recently confided that he has finally bought a piece of property, his only asset, in Malaysia. It was a burial plot.
This man is a picture of contentment and through his involvement in various community services, has touched countless other lives.
He is one of the richest men I have the privilege of calling a friend.”
