Toodles to Twain
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent PhilosophersToday was Twain's last day at work. To think, 21 months just flew by like that.
Wow.
Anyway, he was really sweet and being a designer, he drew up (maybe "Illustrated" might be a more apt word) and printed out cards for each of us with a personalized message.
Shall not bore you by going into the details of what he wrote to me, but one particular thing caught my eye. He casually mentioned that I was a girl with "big dreams". How interesting, for I do not, to borrow a phrase from a friend, have "lofty dreams" per se.
What I do have though, is the belief that I can be whatever I want to be so long I am persistent and driven enough to do it. Perhaps it is this belief that Twain sees. :)
Anyway, thank you Twain, for labelling me as the Girl with Big Dreams.
Here's something for you, ala V for Vendetta style. Abit corny, but pls forgive me. It is 2.39am at the moment and the Thai food we had for dinner is still messing with my brain :D
A Toodle-oo for Twain
To The Talented and Tolerant,
Truthful and never Tardy Twain,
I bid you a warm Toodle-oo.
I wish you the best
And pray that you will have
all the Tenacity, Temerity and Technical know-how
To Transcend and Triumph over
All Trials, Tribulations and Tests of life,
Tricky situations (and lack of Teabreaks), Tracery,
Toil, Trollops (if any) and Traps.
Tsetchem leshalom.
Toodles and Till Then.
Tata Twain!
