3 months!

1.02am, Friday, 18 Nov 2011, Windy

I had almost forgot about this little space that I have.

I had been busy earlier on, or should I say, I had been busy all the while.

But I do question why am so busy?

For myself, others or because of no choice, or because the chance of all events having at the same time?

I do not have answer myself.

Probably, I had been overloaded with many commitments which I should not.

Well, I do regret on sometimes on certain things if I do not do well, thus, when opportunity comes, I do try my best to strike my best putting effort to prove that people have not trust the wrong person to do the right things.

Well, I think this 1st paper, I am not well-prepared.

Blame it on the reservist enlistment which I had spent one day at camp to clear the reservist status which it is due to system error.

Blame on the fact that heavy commitment with YEC.

Blame it on my poor time management.

Blame it on the fact that the work load is unmanageable which I had hardly time to read my textbook.

Blame it on myself, as I am the source of the cause of things happening on me!

Well, as I finish this last sentence to vent our the little frustration at this little space that belong to me, I make sure, I do pull myself up as quickly as possible, to do well in my exam ( the last paper).

After so many setback in 2009, and pick myself and believing myself again in 2000, and after the operation in mid 2011, a new beginning, yet, when looking back at all these incident, people I had encountered, whether are they true to their self or to me, it does not matter.

What it really matter is: at least these encounters had lead me to know what I do want in life, hopefully.

For the time being, I will say sayonara to this little heaven which I almost forgot.

The month of August

The reason why I had decided to name this post "The month of August" is because as the blogger and owner of "Jeff Space", I had hardly spend quality time to share things, places, music or even movies that inspire me lately.

Well, thanks for my regular viewers who do drop me a note to remind me that its time to update the blog which I used to be rather active writing.

The month of August was a busy month. I had not failed to continue to "impress" or "inspire"people with my artwork and design which I hope one day more people will at least have a smile on their faces to the little things I tried and put in effort to do.

Though these months are tough, but in a positive note, these are standards for a more important role in future. I hope I am well, and continue to have the synergy to persevere in things I used to believe in.

I realise the fact, I may make a wrong choice sometimes but if I had to live with it, I will try my very best to make a little difference to all the opportunities instead of calling them "problems."

July Movie of the Month_Larry Crowne

Larry Crowne - the crowne with an letter e!
This is one interesting line that I had remembered how Larry Crowne wants others to know his name.

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today's recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne.

Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he's worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over.

There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.

The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.

Personal Rating:
3.8 out of 5
Watch it! It's defnitely an awesome movie for the month or even for the year! For those, who are like me, lost my "sense" of direction yet this movie has re-defined the importance of everyone in his life! We might even be in Larry Crowne 's role when our life is at 40s.
