Welcome to gentle-ripples.blogspot.com

At some point in in time, even the most indifferent of individuals will kneel before a higher power and ask for advice.

And if the higher power, who usually eschews banal language used by the mortal and earth-bound supplicants, actually gave you a sign like neon like flashing madly about, would it not be idiocy to ignore it?

Of course, unless the higher power flashed three neon light in different colours in a myraid of directions, then that's where the trouble begins.

'Look here!' says HP, 'Or here!' says HP again, and by the time you finish looking, your brain is in spinning turbo mood.

I turn to the mortal gods and goddess. One beloved mentor of mine chastised me.

'There is no regretting. A decision made is a right decision. You make it right. Mindset is the key.'

I was blowed over. Oh man. Was this not the motto i worked by in TSD?

So I have made up my mind. And the HP, in return for some decisiveness, gave me the greatest bonus ever. To my dear love, i am so glad for you. I am happier for myself.For once in my life, I am entering something new with someone I know.

Thank you, and thank you to all my mentors in my life.

Mr Mohamed from Peiying Primary, for beliving in me.

Miss Yvonne Lek, for boostering me.

Mrs Lim Hwee Bin, from Cedar, for supporting me.

Mdm Faridah,from Cedar, for endowing me with enough wisecracks to last the century.

Miss Angelian tan, from Cedar, from giving me everyone's most precious procession- time.

Miss Susan Leong, from Cedar, for inspiring me.

Mr Adrain Loo,from RJC, for a combination of things: Trust, time, care,patience and wisdom.

Mr Mathew Lyon,from RJC, for his madness and practicality.

And to Miss Tan Yew Kheng, who supported all my crazy endeavours, from bringing her photo to my math exam to training my telephatic command with her, thank you for your huge droplets of wisdom and faith, when none came.

To my papa, who pushed me (sometimes to insanity) and to my mama, who reined me (til sometimes I feel really slack)

And to my taciturn, silent brother. He is a mentor to me in many ways, among them, lending a ear to my whispered fears, when none others can hear.Sometimes, siblings are another part of your soul. (Or pain in the ass)

And to all my friends, though only the meagre few will read this: thank you, thank you, thank you. We grow together don't we? :)
