I finished the last 4 tutorials from this Accounting decision making and control module. Tomorrow I'll start with accounting disclosure. The hardest of them all. "One module to rule them all" ops Lord-of-the-Rings syndrome. Seriously, my expectations for this sem is not as high as last sem. I've already know it. I won't be able to maintain my results. All my course work gone. I don't even know if my Non exam grades would reach even a B.

Today i played alot of games, even more than studying. I went back to play an SNES game, Lufia 2. Suddenly feels that its a damn fun game. Thanks to my buddy, he informed me about the Manji Maru 3 release hee, and he is going to get it for me!! So good buddy. How I wish i can enjoy my holiday totally. KTvs, Arcades, Drinking, Movies, PS2, Shopping, lotsa beach strolling, night strolling, concerts, band practices, band teaching, WASBE conference, composing, Hk series, Korean series, Anime, ..... do you consider that interesting? All individual stuffs............... Well, I'm use to it.

Ah my lips cracking like hell hahaa. Damn the medicine haha but 2 more months and i'm getting rid of them muahhaa. Then I'll regain my sexy lips again muhahaa. I'm crazy.

I heard some tv thing said," to know whether a man is faithful, look at him when he is rich. to know whether a girl is faithful, look at her when she is poor." How true? I don't know. The guy part i understand, but girl part..... nope.

After reading the slice of life haha, I think I didn't even put in the foundation, i want to put the roof. I'm a damn lousy chap haha. Sometimes, when i look back, I find myself a big joke.

Slice of Life

Your Relationship is Like a House

Building a relationship is like building your dream house. It begins as a stirring of emotion and a grand vision. Then you begin laying the foundation, erecting the beams, placing the bricks, painting the walls, and furnishing the interior. For a few years, your home is a shiny, clean, strong and comfortable abode.

But then, due to neglect and lack of maintenance, the paint starts to peel, the windows begin to crack, and little holes begin to appear in the walls and roof. At its core, you still have a great home in a beautiful setting. But the deterioration in the structure of your house is slowly marring its comfort and beauty. Passers-by can soon see the wear-and-tear of the years and the decline of neglect.

Your relationship, like a house, needs constant care and maintenance. Otherwise, little holes in the nooks and crannies will gradually grow into gaping cavities that may be difficult to repair. Rust will begin to eat into the pipes, causing them to leak, destroying the wood.

The truth is that whether you're talking about a house or a relationship, if there are any "holes" or flaws in them, they didn't just show up overnight. They are there because you didn't notice them and fix them right away before they grew bigger.

Now, you could move to another house but it wouldn't be long before problems start showing up in your new house if you don't do a better job of maintaining it. It's the same with your relationships. So how can you care for and maintain your relationship?

Firstly, you have to give the relationship your attention. Sounds logical, right? But the fact is, many people get into a relationship and then put it on auto-pilot. Then months or years later, they wonder what happened.

If you haven't planned a date together in a while, take some time right now and plan some type of get-away even if it's just for an hour at your favourite restaurant or a walk in a park alone together.

Make some time for the two of you to be together and to enjoy each other. Make a plan to talk every day (or at least on a regular basis) about what really matters to the two of you. This can simply mean taking a few moments to tell each other what you appreciate about the other person. Give compliments generously. And don't let the playfulness and humour out of your relationship.

Also, whenever something comes up between you and your partner, don't let it linger and become an even bigger issue. Tackle the monsters in the relationship when they're small and they won't grow up to be large enough to devour your relationship.
