Extrovert, talk 2 much, not a good listener, very easy going, friendly, likes jokes (too much), like socializing, like being with people with a positive outlook on life...Hate backbiting, likes straight fowardness, coz i feel i can handle critisism positively.

Just a thought for life

We will not be remembered by our words,
but by our good deeds.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath.

Happy dancing times at OIC

"Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again..."

Enjoy every moment of life.

Forever friendship

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship.
Thanks Grace girl for being such a friend to me, miss you so much....

Vote of Thanks

We had our closing ceremony on Wednesday, 22nd April 2009.
We all received attendance certificates and I wish to proudly announced that I obtained an A symbol for this course. It's even with more proud that I want to extend my sincere gratitude to my sensei's, coz I think the performances of participants, whether good or bad, directly reflects on their inputs and sacrifices. Thanks very much, it is appreciated.

Let me also thank our patient course coordinator, Miyagi san for all the guidance and support throughout the course and I wish him all the strength in his future endeavours.

Nana san, our mom, special thanks to you that you were in front of us, next to us as well as behind us as our course leader. This appreciation comes from the bottom of my heart.

My dear fellow-participants, my African brothers and sisters, thanks that we could laugh and cry together. Thanks that we could become one big African family at a home far away from home. I do believe that all of us inspired Ritah so much that she even wrote a essay about us! (See M-TEC blog)

Last, but not least, thanks to my M-TECH family, (including the boys of the Masters course), my course coordinator and the other participants of OIC for your support during the passing of my dad. Special thanks to my dearest friend, Grace, for her broad shoulder during my time of grieve. It was indeed because of all of you that I was able to complete the course successfully. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

Take care, my dear friends until we meet again....mate, ne.
