Take My Breath Away

Farewell, my dear colleagues

2009-03-31T00:25:00.002+08:00

Time really flies like nobody business...
It was 4 and 1/2 years ago when this senior colleague interviewed me
and offered me the temporary position in Philips.
And before my contract ended, I was offered a permanent contract in
another position but in the same dept.
Oh gosh... But now, this senior colleague who worked for this company
for 34 long years... will be having his last day on 31st Mar 2009.
I still remembered the day I took up the perm job is 1st April 2005.
That was so long ago...
And how ironic that on 1st Apr 2009, he will not be in our dept anymore.
Blame it on the current economic crisis...
Blame it on the manager who decided to make him the "scapegoat"
Blame it on the company policy of cutting cost...
Blame it on .... anything...
Well... I sincerely wish him all the best in his future.
He will enjoyed his life and travelled all around (going to London & Paris in April)
Hopefully, he can take this opportunity to take a long good break...
Thank you Fung Swee for all your guidance and teaching.
I will always remember you for as long as I live...
Au Ming, you will also be leaving...
but you are a very good table tennis player and a friend to have.
Steven, wish you have a "good early retirement" and may you be
healthy and happy always... Enjoy the good break...

Dear colleagues...
I am happy to know you all in this life...
Even though I might be a bit "aggressive and rude" towards you.
But I seriously love all your teaching and sharing of experience.
Take care and keep in touch...
I miss you all...

What a night...

2009-02-21T23:29:00.000+08:00

It's Friday...
Yue was asking if I can go for a drink with her tonight...
I told her np but will have to be after the dinner with my colleagues..
Then suddenly around 7plus, my sister sms me that the other younger twin sister
was hospitalised due to low red blood cell.
OMG.... so many things happening...
I still went for dinner with my colleagues at Toa Payoh...
However, they were meeting Roger as well after his night course...
But I have to rush down to hospital to visit my sister before the time is over.
Then I sms Yue that I will go down later after visiting my sister...
When I reached there, I saw a group of people leaving...
I supposed they are my sister's friend or colleagues...
And I was right... haha... cause I asked my sister when I was in her room.
She seem so weak... and fragile.
Haiz... Pray that she will get well soon...

Then I took a taxi to meet Kwok, Yue & April...
They were at Canto Rock Pub drinking and deciding to switch to another Pub nearby.
Then we choose to drink at Archipeglo Pub... just opposite the street.
We were playing poker card (Dai Dee) happily when there was a big "Ang Mo"
who came to sit down without "our invitation".
He seem drunk... and started to talk rubbish when we suggested to play poker with him. As time goes by... he is becoming more and more agressive and all his words is
so vuglar and so rude... Basket... How I wish he can get lost...
Then suddenly, he said many thing which is kind of "sexual harassment" to my female
friends... I kindly asked him to sit another place and we do not want to talk to such
person... He seem unhappy and asked me why so serious etc...
The manager was here trying to invite that Ang Mo (from Scotland which claimed to be)
to settle his bill and leave the place at once..
He tried to push the manager and wanted to throw a punch but he fell over instead
to Kwok lap. I almost wanted to confront him and scold him vuglarity.
If I didnt control my anger and emotion at that time, I will already throw a
punch at him... Zzzzz

I picked up my hp and checked with the manager if I should call the police.
He kindly told me to go ahead... and I dialed 999.
When that Ang Mo saw that "we were serious", he tried to pick his bag and go away.
But he fell down once again... lol.. looking so clusmy and stupid..
Within 5min, the police car arrived.
They took down our statement and my contact just in case they needed me for
assistance. I kindly obliged.
After that, Kwok went home at around 2.15am cause he needed to attend a concert
that very morning... haha...

So we went to K-box for some singing session...
I was sleepy and slept on the seat....
Faint... it was 6am...
Time to go home...
What a night of "happening event"

I hope that Heaven can bless my younger twin sister to recover
and faster discharged from hospital...
May the force and strength be with her...
God bless....

Interactive Quality Town Meeting

2009-02-19T00:17:00.002+08:00

The Quality Town Meeting still proceed today even though the big boss
from Holland is not able to make it due to some very serious issue...
The entire day was spend doing the presentation and questions slides...
We do not even have a single rehearsal on the coordination part...
OMG... the manager presentation slides was also passed to use this morning
at 11.30am. The event started at 1.30pm...
Wa piangz... everything was in a rush siah...
As usual, my manager asked to check his own presentation slides so many times
that I guessed he is just so afraid to show the wrong input... haha...
Our first question using the "Electronic Voting Device" was a BIG cock up.
Haha.. cause the audience anyhow pressed the button without hearing the signal
"You may start voting"... and caused the whole system to "crash"
Luckily, we managed to remedy it on the spot in a short time.
As for the rest of the presentation, there was a minor "screwed up"
due to the lacking of coordination with the manager... haha
The rest of the questions which used the voting device
went quite smoothly...
Cause I was the one who control the presentation and have to
complie the final results of the voting to be shown on the screen immediately.
Phew... so happy and glad that it was all over...
Anyway, the whole Town Meeting was quite ok since we do
not have any rehersal at all...
Hope for the next Town Meeting, please do not ask me to do the
presentation because it should be the turn for other commitee member liao...
Haha... God bless... ^^

Big Boss Not Coming...

2009-02-17T01:17:00.004+08:00

Yes... Haha...received email that the Quality big boss (from Holland)
had cancelled his trip to Singapore due to some unforeseen circumstances.
At least, the presentation will be less stressful
Especially after the assurance from our own Dept Quality Manager that
he does not want it to be "Perfect" and just a simple one will do....
yippee.... hooray....
And he almost want to say the 7-letter words "Fxxxxxx"...
such as... That big boss is "Fxxxxxxx" getting on my nerves
Which he didnt mentioned it... as he "paused" his statement
in front of the organising committee... haha ... it was pretty cool...
Well... feeling more peace and happier after the short discussion...keke
It's just put a bigger smile on my face... =D

Be Inspired & Be Grateful

2009-02-13T23:30:00.003+08:00

I feel ashamed and gulity of myself after watching this video.
A man without limbs can be so positive and determined in life...
Yet, I am always feeling so much troubled because of trival little things..
Time for me to wake up, Mr Lim...
Hope all of you can be inspired by this video...
Let all learn something from this person....
God bless =)

Full Moon Night

2009-02-10T00:54:00.004+08:00

Just went for a jog after 10.30pm when I reached home from work.
I told myself I must make it under 30min timing tonight...
Guess what... I almost failed... that mean I succeed...
OMG... I stopped almost from the 2nd round onward....
Don't understand how I managed to clock under 30min...
Anyway... maybe it is the full moon tonight keke...
So guess somebody up there listening to my prayer
and helped me to "stop that time" ....
Final timing is 29min 56.02 sec... Gosh...
it was 1min faster than my previous run (on Sunday) haha...
I must make it under 29min for the next 2 run...
But I must say that the moon is so lovely and I saw
north star... 3 stars in a line with another 2 stars in between...
It was so beautiful....
And I also saw one of the star shinning so brightly...
At that moment, I make a wish...
Actually I make 3 wishes.. haha.. Greedy me...
Well... Hope it will come true...
Cheers =)

Crystal Jade "New Year Lunch"

2009-02-10T00:49:00.002+08:00

Suddenly, remember that last Friday, 6th Feb we have our lunch at
Crystal Jade in Toa Payoh Central.
I was the facilitator for my section this year... Faint
Therefore, whatever people day program, I am representing my section...
OMG... Very suay... haha
Anyway, our boss decide to treat us FOC.
It was agreed initially that he foot 50% of the bills and
the rest will be spilt equally among us...
Well, the food is quite good in my view except
that there was no air con halfway through the lunch...
and the waiting time for our food took 45min... faint...
We were one of the earliest batch of customers but they served
the food to other first... Sianz...
Anyway, it was good to have a lunch together as a section.
*By the way, my leader did not come as he was on his final 3rd week
of hospitalisation leave... Really know how to "geng" haha

2009-02-04T02:23:00.003+08:00

Just reached home at 11.30pm....
Then suddenly have the urge to go for a jog...
Basket... the air was so dry and humid....
Alamak.. never mind... I still went for a 5km run
My target is 30min to complete...
In the end, I completed the 5km run in 30min38.56sec...
Shit lah... I missed my target timing...
I also dropped dead on the pavement of the road...
OMG.... Luckily, my faith and endurance held on to
carry on with some exercise...
I must start my jogging right now...
if not, I think I cannot become "Heng Almightly" liao
Haha... kidding lah...
*YAWN*

A little prayer

2009-02-03T00:53:00.004+08:00

May the strength, power and force be with her...
God bless her...

Another new year

2009-02-01T23:46:00.003+08:00

Another lunar new year have passed.
It become so routine every year...
The feeling of going back for once a year gathering seem so "strange"
All the little cousins have grown up...
I realised how times flies...
How I was once like them....
Enjoying and looking forward to new year
and collecting "Ang Bao" from Uncle and Aunt...
But the feeling is not the same anymore...
The thought of going to relative house make me feel so ....
It seem that I have already feel that many things cannot be the same anymore
never ever again...
But I know that life have to go on...
Happy New Year to everyone...
=)

Internal Struggle

2009-01-20T00:59:00.003+08:00

I must have done something very wrong and bad in my previous life...
Why do I keep crashing with her?
What is it she want from me?
I will never understand her...
OMG... Woman.... Faint...
I know you will never understand the internal struggle I have
because I always behaving so tough and "hack care" attitude toward you
It is not that I don't care.. but
I choose the other way to show my love...
which you do not understand or choose not to accept it.
It is either I change the way I behave or you have to accept
the way that I treated you...
Oh my God... Can you enlightened me...
I am so lost....... like a wandering spirit in a big ocean...
What did I do wrong?

Very Full

2009-01-13T00:44:00.002+08:00

Have a heavy dinner just now with a few colleagues (one from Holland)
at Bugis Area. The restauarnt name is Wing Seong Fatty (if I remember correctly)
It was a last minute thing for me as I didn't know this colleague is coming.
Anyway, it was a good dinner and bring him around Bugis area.
It was also a surprise that the place changed quite a lot...
Haha.. it must be ages since I been there...
Then when I reached home... Guess what..
My younger twin sister who just arrived home from Kuching (Sarawak)
bought back a packet of noodle. OMG....
My mum asked me to eat it...
Actually, I was full.. real full... super full...
But as I do not like to waste food...
and it was especially delivered through "DHL" from Kuching so I just ate the whole packet up.
The noodle was not bad except it was cold liao... haha...
Then I feel a bit "cold in the stomach" and Guess what...
I made a cup of coffee... lolx...
Sipping the coffee and feeling so nice and warm...
But now ... feel tired.. but not sleepy
What can I do?
Thousand of questions, thought, memories flashed through my mind...
Hmm..... Better go listen some music or read some positive thinking book
before I let my imagination run wild again....
Good Night & Sweet Dream Everyone...
=)

Forgotten my hp yet again!

2009-01-12T12:15:00.003+08:00

It's lunch time...and I should be having my lunch...
But hor... feel a bit lazy...
Then this is the 2nd time in 2 weeks which I forgotten to bring my hp.
OMG.. I seem to be having short term memory...
Maybe age is catching up on me...
Maybe too tired and didnt sleep well last night...
Maybe I was in a rush so I forgotten...
Maybe...
Stop giving so much excuses....
It's just my problem anyway....
OK... Go for a short nap before lunch break is over...
Have a good day everybody....
Keep smiling (even though I am full of anger now.. haha)
ALways look on the bright side of life...
Cheers ^_^

Dinner at East Coast Park

2009-01-11T22:46:00.003+08:00

I don't feel like going anywhere...
But as usual, they tried to drag me along to the dinner..
Faint... Since my sis's bf is driving so so I just go lor...
We went to C. Nai Hong Kong Express (part of Hong Kong Cafe) at East Coast Park.
It was my first time there and there are a lot of variety of nice food.
Well... in the end, we have our full and I volunteer to foot the bill
because my sis's bf pay all the time and I feel bad...
So I told him.. "I'll pay this time, please don't fight with me, thank!"
After that, we took a stroll at East Coast.
There were so many people at the beach...
Some were running...
Some were having BBQ....
Some were fishing....
Some were cuddling and chatting...
Some were just dancing, skating, roller blading etc...
Feel so good to take a walk after a heavy dinner at the beach...
How I wish I can stay near seaside and go to a beach
if I am feeling down or frustrated....
Haha... Just wanted to shout at the big sea and tell "God"
Take me away.......to a far far place....
where there is peace and harmony everyday >.<

New Year Shopping

2009-01-04T23:38:00.002+08:00

It's been a long long time (more than 10yrs) since I last do some shopping for New Year.
Well, it just happened that I went to help my sister return her library books
at Woodlands Civic Centre. I went to the top level of the mall and found a small shop
selling quite a number of nice and cheap clothings.
In the end, I bought a pair of jean and polo t-shirt. Haha.. cost less than $40 bucks.
Then I went to shop again at Causeway Point and found a pair of nice cheap shoe.
LoL.. I went to purchase it and guess what...
The cashier gave me the wrong change. The shoe cost $40 and I gave her $50 but
she returned me $20 instead of $10. I only noticed it when I was out of the shop.
Oh damn it... should I return the "extra" money to that pretty cashier?
My conscience keep telling me to return but I got thousand of excuses not to do so...
I tell myself "Nvm.. I am lazy to walk back to the shop"
"Maybe I took it as a 25% discount for the shoe".
"Ok, I will donate this money to charity"
In the end, I just fold the money and throw it one side of my wallet.
Anyway, I am happy with my purchase for the New Year because those 3 new stuffs
are all within my budget of $100. HaHa...
I am always so stingy with my own spending because I always have the mindset
of "want, need and wish"...
Of course, it was less stressful shopping alone as I can take my own sweet time and
decide if I really want that item as well..
Hope that 2009 will be a good year for everyone...
Cheers =)

New Year Eve

2009-01-01T23:46:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was 31st Dec 2008... The last day of the year before 2009 arrived.
It was a "sad" farewell to 2 of my colleagues whom I really get to know better through playing table tennis. We organised a farewell lunch for them since it was also half day for the company.

When we reached Novena, one of the colleagues want to buy 2 gifts at the very last minute on that day. Me and SB accompanied this colleague Zeya to search all over the places in the shopping mall and finally he make a choice to get 2 thumbdrives of 8GB. Then he went to one of the stationary shops for the presents to be wrapped up and bought 2 cards.. Haha.. his expression seem so serious and worried when he choose the gift because I seldom see such expression on him as he is a "Joker" to us. All these took about 30min...
We arrived at the Peranankan eating house near Novena and were "late by 30min" because of the last minute gift.

The food was nice and to my liking at least. I can see on their faces that they seem so
happy and positive even though they lost their jobs... At least, this is also one good things
which I can learn from them... Be positive and optimistic in life no matter what happen..
Easier said than done but I am sure we will all overcome these tough times ahead...

To be honest, I really hope I am the one who was asked go and not them.
Because I super hate my leader and his attitude towards work. Pissed....
(No doubt I keep telling myself not to hate anyone in 2009 and "forgive them" - OMG)
Why does the company have to treat them like that just because of this economic crisis?
In such bad times, certain number of people have to be "sacrificed" in order for the company
and others to survive. Yet why is it always the "good and nice" people the one who have
to suffer such fate? I still feel so unfair and unjust for them to leave.
But on the other positive side, I am sure they will succeed anywhere in other company
because they are very capable and got the ability to overcome these obstacles...

Lastly, I really enjoy knowing the 2 of you. Although the times spend with you guys was short,
but I will remember and keep those memories in my heart always.
I truly wish them all the best and hope to stay in touch with them (Mr Sin Chee & Roger)
Take care too... Happy New Year...
May both of you find your new jobs soon and hopefully if got lobang, I might also
joined you guys soon. Cheers ^_^

Still Awake... Zzzzz

2008-12-31T02:12:00.003+08:00

Oh my goodness...
It is 2.15am and I still cannot get to sleep after rolling over for 30min on my bed.
What the hell am I doing?
Zzzzzz .... I got to work tomorrow leh...
Wanted to call someone to talk but
everyone is sleeping already...
Damn me... I am super f.... wide awake....
Then I went to get a glass of drink and guess what...
2 bloody big lizards scared the wit out of me...
I just turned on the light and one ran into the rice cooker and hide..
The other went to some "unknown place" and hide...
I bet these 2 lizards were planning to meet up for a "chat" and
I spoiled their fun... haha...
But they definitely make me even more AWAKE....
Faint....

It is New Year Eve and guess another year (365days) is gone like that...
What have I been doing...
I need to do some reflections and also plan for new actions
to improve and upgrade in the coming year 2009....
Even though many people are affected by the recent
economic financial crisis but life still need to carry on....
As long as we BELIEVE that these things are temporary and endure a while more...
we will all pull through the tough times...
As I always believe this saying..
"Tough Times Don't Last But Tough Man (People) Do"

Guess I am going to slowly wait for the time to pass before I can sleep...
Maybe wait until 4am and watch soccer match (Hull City vs Aston Villa)
and then by 6am, go take a shower and straigh away go to work... keke
Ok.. Hereby I wish everyone a Happy New Year (2009) and
may all of your dreams and wishes come true...
Blessed with lot of peace, harmony, happiness and good health...
Cheers ^_^

Sunway Lagoon

2008-12-25T00:21:00.002+08:00

Went to Sunway Lagoon last weekend.
Basically, just go there with my sister, her bf and mummy...
Nothing very interesting over there except just to
spend and waste money on shopping (not me of course)...
Anyway, it is good to go there to relax and explored a new place in another country.
Personally, I thought of visiting a friend there but guess it is too far liao.
Nvm.. got another chance next time...
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Chicken Rice Dinner

2008-12-15T23:38:00.002+08:00

Guess this is the first time I went to have dinner with friends after work on a Monday evening.
It was actually "last minute" plan once again....
But only this time round that it was REAL... lol
Haha.. at least I did try to make up by paying for the dinner and
glad that everybody enjoy the chicken rice and
the dishes at Boon Tong Kee (near Balestier Road).
Perhaps a little bit disappointing that we couldnt find a place
after the dinner where we could have some desert. Haha..
Hope that we can have another dinner (maybe duck rice, char siew rice, nasi lemak etc)
next time...
Actually, we walked by the places and it bring me to some "sweet, bitter, sad" memories.
All those things suddenly flashed into my mind when we were standing across the road.
Anyway, it was all history... I really glad that we are able to enjoy that precious moment.

Of course, I will be waiting for Ron to get his first pay check and give me a treat...
lol... Wishing all the readers/bloggers an early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers ^_^

I done it...

2008-12-15T01:43:00.006+08:00

Till now.. I am still not convinced I have completed the 42km Marathon run last Sunday.
It is unbelievable to see almost 50,000 people took part in the run (42km, 21km & 10km)
I admitted that I can do better if I trained 2 to 3 months earlier.
Maybe the shoes was too worn out and old liao.
Maybe my muscle is already giving way when I reached halfway mark..
Maybe I am just lazy to continue with the last 12km distance. haha....
But I hope that I can improve my timing next time (if possible)
Anyway, I am very happy to have completed another "milestone" in my life.
Hopefully, I will be mentally stronger and able to overcome whatever obstacles that
is coming along the way now.
God bless me...

Standard Chartered Marathon Run (42.195km)

2008-12-06T22:20:00.003+08:00

The day have arrived....
Now is counting down to the last 6hrs before the race start.
I am feeling kind of nervous... excited... haha
Hopefully, I will be able to finish the run in 5hrs...
Last.. please do not let me get muscle cramp or sprained ankle...
God bless me....

Life is like running???

2008-12-02T00:27:00.004+08:00

I was running from woodlands to yishun on Sunday.
The distance was about 11 to 12km (to and fro).
I was actually feeling so tired... but somehow... I knew I have to run...
Something tell me I can and must finish this run...
Anyway, I did manage to finish it in 64min with a couple min spend walking...

==================================================

Today after work, I was thinking of going home and sleep early.
However, on my way home, I saw a girl and a guy running at the other side of the pavement.
Somehow, I knew I need to run as well.. So I changed into my jogging attire and went for a run.
Initially, I was planning to run 5km. Then I feel so tired and wanted to stop after 4km...
However, I challenged myself and tell my heart to finish 10km instead...
I almost "faint" due to dehydration perhaps... my right leg start to cramp a bit
and the ankle feeling a bit of pain... maybe these are just "excuses" for me to stop.
But I was thinking of something/somebody and realised that I need to finish this run. (10km)
So in the end, I manage to complete the run in 62min with some slight walking.
My legs was very tired and feel a bit cramped but no serious sprain... Phewww!

I realised running long distance is almost similar as reaching towards your goal and dream...
Sometime we tend to give up halfway whenever we feel obstacle (pain) is in front of us.
Actually we can do it... Our mind said we will do it... yet sometimes due to strong negative thoughts and ions in our brain, we tend (or choose) to give up.... Perhaps... giving up is not a
bad options and of course there is always a limit to whatever we do.. or is sky the limit?
When I choose not to do something is not because I cannot do it... not because I don't want to
do it... but because I choose not to do it...
We all make decisions in life... be it minor, medium or major decision...
Yes.. certain people may influence us.. but the choice is in our hand....
We can choose to do it (and may not make everybody around you happy)
yet sometime we choose to go ahead and do it.. because it is for our own sake.
We all know what we want in life... yet certain situations make us vulnerable or
hapless in certain decisions we make... We have to make decision to please certain
people yet might not make ourselves happy... is this what we want...
Life is really very unpredictable and vulerable...
Human can be contradicting and selfish creatures yet
they can be so selfless and gentle little angels...
well.. it is up to you to choose what you want to be...
You got a choice... I also got mine as well...
Hopefully, all will end up well and go smoothly for me and all my friends (and family too)

Lastly, I know that what I want this Sunday.
I choose to finish my run this Sunday ...
Be it I walk or crawl, I will meet the finishing line... Here I come...
Standard Chartered Marathon 42.195km run..
God bless me...

What a busy week....

2008-11-28T01:13:00.005+08:00

Damn bloody hell.......
This must be one of the busiest week I ever have in this company.
My leader went for a week of holidays and he threw all the work to me on Monday evening before he said "goodbye".
He should have planned his time carefully and clear most of the work first... what the heck!
Even before I go for my ICT for 2 weeks, most of my work (should I said ALL) have been cleared. KNS....
Zzzzz.... I have been covering and trying to clear his work for the past few days.
Furthermore, so many field issues and most of them are "URGENT ISSUE"
Come on... what thing regarding work is "not urgent" one!
Somemore, the system I am using have already been "freezed" yesterday and will not be able to
use until the new system is up and running in 2 weeks time.. OMG lah...
I sensed a lot of backlog and more issues later with the new system... Puiz
For these past few day, I reached home only after 12 midnight...
I must go and claim my OT pay.... I don't bloody care liao...
Luckily, these few night still got SB and co to keep me company until 11plus. keke
Plus, yesterday my manager finally know how to be a "human" and treated us dinner (Pizza) =p
when I reached home, I was mentally tired ...
Well, it is good to be doing many things but hor in the long run, it is not good for our brain and health both mentally, emotionally, physically and psychologically.
Ok lah... Today is Friday liao and another weekend is coming. Hopefully, it will be another good week for me and all my friends as well...

For those who happen to read my blog, I blessed you all with good health, good wealth, lot of joys, good fortune and many success in life.... Stay positive and happy...
Cheers ^_^

GB Gathering and my "road march"

2008-11-17T18:03:00.007+08:00

OMG... she sms me on Friday evening saying that J.W is coming to SG on Saturday (the day I outprocessed from my reservist) .... and asked if we could go for dinner together...
I was thinking ... so pai seh siah...and somemore I was on standby for my recall manning... so I really cannot promise her that time. Hmm.. then I think..."but since she came to SG from MY, I should at least give some face to her mah.. so I said ok.. if got one or two more guys go, I will sure go and have to wait after 3pm so that I know by that time there will be no recall ...
Haha.. last minute I also asked one of my colleague to go along because he know the girl
as they study and come from the same University in Melaka.

So that Saturday night, there were 6 of us, Yue, J.W, April, Kwok, SB and me. We met at Plaza Singapura and ate at Nihon Mura. This is my 2nd time there this year. First time was the "power group outing" with my company colleagues in April period... keke... never imagine myself to go back to eat there in such short time... Anyway, it was very pleasant to have such an outing with those nice online people whom I know for quite long le... The food there were quite nice and to my liking except the sashimi which I don't eat... lol...

At first, I thought it was quite hard to talk to them but actually after a while, it was easy to break the ice because there are 2 jokers in the group... haha... After the dinner, we went to
Double O. Initially, I was relunctant to go but then Kwok "challenge me and said if I go, he will go" then for the "safety of the 3 girls, I just said ok... It was my first time clubbing and that night was very crowded and the queue was very long... at least that is what Yue mentioned... They ordered some drink and after that, went to dance (and drag me along which I very unwillingly followed along)

At around 1am, Yue suggested to go Helipad because her friends were unable to enter Double O as the queue was super long outside. So we just tagged along. The Helipad suit me and also Kwok. At least that is the kind of ambience I feel more at ease ... haha... Then that "silly blur blur June" was sleeping soundly at the "sofa area". We went to the roof-top and managed to catch a glimpse of the whole view of the night scenary. It was quite a lovely and beautiful sight...
Then I was talking to Kwok about life, decision making, choices, situation, changes and other kind of reality stuffs... He actually have some good plans which he is doing and I am glad that he know what he want at the moment even though there might be some changes in certain stages of his life. He is doing his diploma (plus degree) in Psychology and Counselling and will also changed his current job soon ( to become a bartender) haha.. Jiayou and all the best, Kwok...

After that, I went to supper with the 3 girls and Yue's friends at nearby 24hrs coffee shop. Kwok was tired so he went home first (but still unable to sleep when he reached home lol) Then they ordered some mee pok noodles and I was already full (due to the beer, drink and dinner earlier) lol.. and helped to finish those noodle which the girls couldnt finished. Anyway, we stay until 4.30am before everybody go home. Yue's friends gave me a ride to Yishun MRT and along the journey, they told me many things and I feel they are interesting and a happy go lucky people.

At around 5am, I took a walk from Yishun MRT all the way to my home in Woodlands... haha.. I set myself a target that I will reached home by 6am... It seem like a mini road march but in cilvian clothing... haha.. Even though I know that the first bus that will reach my house is arriving at around 5.35am, I just feel like walking... In the end, I really took a walk all the way to my home. I was quite frightened because the path is like a bit ulu and eerie. But with buddha pendant with me and listening to my mp3 player, I have no fear because I am in Singapore.. so I feel safe... Then when I reached half way of the journey, one bus no 858 went passed me. I tell myself.. it is ok.. I will reached home soon.... Finally, I reached home at 6am (zun zun). I didnt even realised that I can still walked so far (around 5 to 6km) because I was feeling a bit seh and dizzy liao.. lol

Thank guys for this wonderful and lovely dinner and enjoyable outing.
Really hope to go out with all of you again another time...
Meantime, wish you guys always stay happy and healthy...
Take care and keep in touch ok....
Cheers ^_^

5th ICT is finally OVER...

2008-11-16T21:43:00.000+08:00

Hooray... finally my 5th ICT is over... 3 more to go (2 low key and 1 last high key)
We outprocessed on Friday evening and only those need to clear IPPT have to go to Maju camp
on Saturday morning.... Luckily, I cleared my IPPT before I go back ICT... keke =p
Steady pom pi pi liao...
Feeling so happy that all the signal equipements are intact and nothing is lost
(or even damage)... therefore no need to sign any 1206 but got one statement need to write...
Phew... luckily that is only a minor problem.. keke...
During these 2 weeks of ICT, it was quite enjoyable and fun...
Able to meet up with old buddies... discussing about their family, kids and work life...
Time really flies.. it was 5yrs since we already ORD and one by one all got married and settled down... So happy for them that they found their loved one and working hard towards their goal.
I was quite lucky in this ICT because there was another comm spec IC (William Heng) who helped and assisted me a lot. Without him, I really feel lost and do not dare to think what will happen to all those messy and complicated equipements. Thank so much!

I was also very lucky because I do not have to go outfield (in Tekong) to dig hole...
Haha... I guess in my entire NS life.. I only dig once (or maybe twice as far as I remembered)
Anyway, those few days in Tekong, the weather was raining heavily.
Feel so sorry for those staying in the "jungle" and suffering the cold wet weather.
Luckily, by the 3rd day morning, every team was extricated out and able to rest.
Overall, nobody got any serious injuries except some of them have fallen sick or kena some bruises.

Lastly, thank to XXst company and everyone for the cooperation, help and wonderful team spirit. The buffet (for cohesive bonding) was quite nice and yummy. Hope we can keep up and maintain the good work for our LAST high key ICT. You guys are the BEST....
Cya next ICT (in May 2009) haha.. very fast siah...
Cheers.... ROD soonnnnnnnn.....
For Honour & Glory....

My 5th ICT (1st week)

2008-11-09T20:41:00.004+08:00

The first week of my 5th ICT (In Camp Training) is over.
It is a nice and wonderful feeling to see old buddies and friends.
Also can find out how they are doing currently.
Everytime will have new buddies getting married and having their first baby born.
Haha.. so exciting and interesting....
This mean times already flies so fast like nobody business...
It was 5yrs ago when I first ORD from my unit....
Oh gosh.... It seem like yesterday siah...

Well, I am going to book in soon
and will begin my 2nd (and last) week of ICT.
Hopefully, all the equipments and store that is issued to the NS man
will all be intact and not be lost after all the exercise training ended on Thursday.
Please do not make my life difficult as a Comm Spec IC.
I rather go outfield than be in charge of these items...
Super Duper Stressssssssssssssssssss.........
I am praying praying real hard that everything will be going smoothly
and also everybody will be safe and sound....
Time for me to go back camp...
Haha... so long never have such a feelings liao...
Hopefully, it will be another sweet and nice memories for me....
Cheersssssss....

God bless me!

Ducktour around Suntec

2008-11-03T23:36:00.000+08:00

It was our dept team People day last Friday (31st Oct)
Keke.. 3 hrs of mini town meeting in the morning...
and after that... we took a bus to Haw Par Villa for a
simple lunch buffet... The food was quite nice and suit my liking...
After that, we went to Suntec City and took a Ducktour (named Katrina)
The tour guide was a young gal (around 20 to 22) and was quite fluent in her English..
She introduced certain history and background on the development of Singapore
and give us some brief info of the buliding around Suntec City.
Now I know there are 3 tallest building in Singapore which is located around that area.
The height was around 280m... due to the fact that the plane need to fly so cannot bulid any higher.
Anyway, the Duck went to the Singapore river and "swim one big round" until it reach the land again
The whole ride was around 50 to 55min which is quite a good experience for me..
For those who have not try it yet, you can take your oversea friends for a ride
and experience it yourself ... even though it is nothing amazing or exciting...
^^

Let it be.....

2008-10-22T00:45:00.005+08:00

What caused conflicts between people?
Assumptions... miscommunication... prejudice... misunderstanding... a lot more...
I was misunderstood by one of the closest person...
I know how she feel when I do not greet her...
But I dare to swear I did not see her walking past ...
OMG... never mind... since she assumed that I am such a person,
then I just do not want to bother anymore...
Whoever misunderstood or accused me of something which I did not even know or done...
Let them be...
Sometimes... people are just guessing... assuming...
So what else or more can I say...
Since I am already being portrayed as a bad person... I also do not want
to change the bad image or perception they have of me...

Being a good and kind person is not easy...
Human beings are just too complicated....
From now on... I will no longer be the Mr nice guy anymore
What will be shown on my expression is a
cold blooded, evil and fearsome look that will make
people keep away from me...
I do not need anybody to understand my inner self anymore...
because it is pointless, meaningless, fruitless, useless and hopeless....

Life is....

2008-10-08T00:46:00.003+08:00

I cried... because of a drama...
It's moved me to tears...
All of sudden, the tears just dropped one by one...
I cannot control myself...
Maybe I always wish to have a "hero" Dad.
The hero in the drama was dead...
because he killed the most dangerous and wanted criminal.
Yet he was also shot by him...
Most importantly... the trainee who he was training was
his "long lost son"... he finally found out he actually got a son...
OMG... and he also waited 20 over years for his love before
she finally agreed to go on a date with him.
He waited and waited for so long.. yet he do not have the chance at all...
Heaven is playing a cruel joke on him...
Yet it was a sad and tragical ending...
At this moment, my mind was feeling so .....
If only.... forget it.... I should just move on...
Life is like a drama....
Life is like a game...
Life is being your own true self...
Life is nothing more than...
Life is just .....

All the best, DQ!

Inter Unit Table Tennis (& KFC)

2008-09-14T01:21:00.000+08:00

Haha... it the Inter Unit Table Tennis competition for my company.
It was also held at Clementi Sport Hall... same as last year.
Well, I took part because I love table tennis and also to have fun....
It is a lovely and interesting game...
Anyway, I was beaten in the 2nd round by who else...
haha.. by Double Table Tennis Teammate... Mr Roger...
Maybe I was just too nervous... lolx
Anyway, for the Double, we were lucky...
keke.. we managed to advance to the last four
and get 4th... also got medal siah... haha...

After the table tennis game, we went to have KFC.
Keke.. well a colleague promise to treat us (3 of us)
to dinner as his "compensation" for something he promised us.. haha
Do you know what happen?
There was a BLACKOUT at KFC...
Haha.. it was so "romantic and lovely" (except without candlelight)
and Mr 98 sing a "birthday song" lolx...
Well, the light recovered after about 10min
and we are still enjoying our KFC... and was so FULL..
cause we all ate 3 pieces meal plus lot of whipped potato and
one super big upsized giant coke... OMG!
Anyway, really want to say...
"Thank for the KFC dinner... Mr 98..."
You are always so funny and humourous...
but please pardon me if I am being too harsh and seriosu with you
sometimes because I am just a "well trained soldier" lolx
Enjoy knowing you guys for being ... just yourself...
Cheers ^_^

Inter Company Run

2008-09-01T00:14:00.002+08:00

I was almost late for the inter run (4.3km) held at Bedok Reservior.
Luckily, I reached there in time to register before the run start.
There were around 30 to 40 runners in the open category.
I almost gave up the race half way because I feel so tired...
Haha... luckily I am determined to finish the run.
To my surprise, I came in 3rd at the end.
Haha.. and make a new friend too. (who was 2nd)

Table Tennis Game (and my "lost hp")

2008-08-05T23:32:00.006+08:00

This evening is the table tennis knock out competition (friendly game actually)
haha.. It was organised among our own business unit (for TV side only)
A total of 16 players took part in the singles and there were 8 double teams.
Well, my opponent for the singles was my own double partner, Roger.
Haha... it was considered "good or bad luck" because I picked number 7 and
he picked number 8 during the balloting... so it is "destiny".
I won him 2-0 (close fight) 13-11 and 12-10.
Then I advanced to the quarter final.
This time I won 2-1 against Hendra(close fight again)
The score is 12-10, 11-9 & 13-11 (if I am not wrong.. haha)
So I managed to "defy all odds and reached the semi-final"
and face the ultimate champion, Kim (champions for the past 4yrs in whole of Philips)
Haha.. of course, no fight at all...
The standard was too big a gap...
I lost 3-0 (Best of 5 games for semi-final and final)
But I am still happy overall with my performance as I did not even think
I will make it so far.
To lose against such high level opponents, I have no regret
and will only be more motivated to train and improve myself further.. keke
Hope that I can narrow the standard and bring my skills to the next level.
So Kim was the champion as he defeated his double partner, Win Niang (3-1).
As for double, no fight again because we were up against
Kim and Win Niang in the quarter final... lolx... so we lost 2-0.
Anyway, it was a good game which I really enjoyed...

=================================================================
Damn it.. suddenly I realised I have lost my hp.
I was taking a cab with another colleague (playing ping pong competition too)
and I want to check my hp and realised that it was not in my bag and
also not in my side pocket.
Oh my god........ where could it be now?
My colleague start to call my hp but nobody pick it up...
Oh dear.... What can I say...
Is it really fated that I will "lose this hp forever" =(
Well.. only Heaven know....
I am praying real hard that it is located somewhere in the office...
I will find out the answer tomorrow...
God bless.....

The last chapter

2008-07-29T01:18:00.004+08:00

I still remember this day...
The first time I met her...
It was 3 yrs ago on a Friday in 2005...
The place was at Balestier Road...
She have been just discharged and have no place to go...
Actually, I was having fever that day...
It was also raining...
Till now, I know it should not have started at all...
No matter where you are... I will never forget the memories
we once have...
If not for you, I wil never understand a lot of things
pertaining to love, care and share...
What is called "promise, respect, trust and understanding"
If only, I have been more strict and disciplined with myself
Time can only move forward..
I cannot turn back the clock...
This will be the end of the chapter...
I will closed this chapter and
start a new story...
I sincerely pray and hope that
you can always be happy and keep smiling...
Take care of yourself.
All the best to you and your family.
Lastly, no matter what had happened in the past.
I just want to say....
Thank for everything...
God bless...

I love you

Delicious & Delight

2008-07-26T00:33:00.000+08:00

Yummy.... today one of my colleagues treat us to good food at
Geylang Lorong 25 area... haha.. the food was so nice...
His wife even came to join us for the dinner... and
he was the one giving the treat...
After the dinner, we went to eat durians... OMG..
Those durians were so delicious and super nice...
So long have not taste such good durian... D24.. keke
I also bought some back for my family...
Guess what.. they finished it all within 2hrs..
Wa lao... never save a few pieces for me...
Anyway, no chance to take the durians pictures and post over here

Want to go back and buy some more...
lalala

Just Nice...

2008-07-23T00:36:00.002+08:00

How much love do we need?
How much money do we need?
How many friends do we need?
How many clothes do we need?
How many shoes do we need?
Sometimes... we keep asking ourselves..
Do we need so much things?
When it is ever enough....
A person who love another person too much...
can end up hating a person just as much...
when something goes wrong or because of betrayal
A person can cause harm to another person
if they try too be over protective and it might
cause more harm than good...
Certain things we do not really need more than we
actually need...
When will more be good...
how much more will it be good...
When is less better...
how much less will it be better....
Sometimes... we do not have any answer...
we think too much...
What I know is...
I want it to be just nice...
equally to be distributed....
simple....and happy....

Cooporate Community Games

2008-07-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

It was Saturday morning.

The wind was fresh and the scenary was beautiful at Bedok Reservior.

Haha.. with plenty of babes and hunks taking part in the Dragon Boat race..

I was representing my company to take part in the CCG for the running mixed relay.

Our team consists of 3 men and 1 woman.

Don't pray pray wor.. even though the woman is 46 yrs old but she can run like a 26 yrs old siah.

In the end, we came in 3rd place out of 13 companies... haha...

Actually, we thought we came in fourth position but then.. lolx who cares...

Well... we should have gotten 2nd position if only I ran a little bit faster

because I was the 1st runner of the relay team....

Cannot believe I lose out to an "Ang Mo" gal... zzzzz....

Anyway, it was quite fun and enjoyable.

===============================================

I also happened to meet one of my Prudential friend. He was one of the

members in the CCG... haha... never thought that I will bumped into him there.

Strange thing is I just happened to search for him in facebook 3 days ago and

on this weekend, I happened to meet him. Glad to see he is doing well

and his sunshine smile is still as charming (with his dimples).

Jones... no matter what, I wish you all the best because I know you can do it...

You are the man.. You are the best... Yeah.... Jiayou wor...

Remember to keep in touch and come out for coffee some day...

All the best to you....

“The Ten Most Dangerous Mistakes YOU Probably Make With Women

Haha... Just come across an article and find it pretty interesting, accurate and amusing.
Here are some of the tips to prevent making similar mistakes when dealing with gals...
You can choose to ignore or do not believe it because some part are a bit lame and bullshit.
LOL... Read on to find out...

“The Ten Most Dangerous Mistakes YOU ProbablyMake With Women—And What To Do About It...”
Here Are The Top Ten Reasons Why Men Fail With Women—And How To Make Sure YOU Avoid Every One Of These Deadly Common Mistakes..

-By David DeAngelo, Author Of “Double Your Dating”

MISTAKE #1: BeingToo Much Of A “Nice Guy”
Have you ever noticed that the really attractive women never seem to be attracted to "nice" guys?
Of course you have.
Just like me, I'm sure you've had attractive female friends that always seemed to date "jerks"... but for some reason they were never romantically interested in YOU.
What's going on here?
It's actually very simple...
Women don't base their choices of men on how "nice" a guy is. They choose the men they do because they feel a powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for them.
And guess what?
Being nice doesn't make a woman FEEL that powerful ATTRACTION.
And being NICE doesn't make a woman CHOOSE you.
I realize that this doesn't make a lot of logical sense, and it's hard to ACCEPT... but GET OVER IT.
Until you accept this FACT and begin to act on it, you'll NEVER have the success with women that you want.

MISTAKE #2: Trying To“Convince Her To Like You"
What do most guys do when they meet a woman that they REALLY like... but she's just notinterested?
Right! They try to "convince" the woman to feel differently.
Well, I have news for you... YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE HOW A WOMAN "FEELS" WHEN IT COMES TO ATTRACTION!
Never, ever, EVER.
You cannot CONVINCE a woman to feel differently about you with "logic and reasoning".
Think about it.
If a woman doesn't "feel it" for you, how in the world do you expect to change that FEELING by being "reasonable" with her?
But we all do it.
When a woman just isn't interested, we beg, plead, chase, and do our best to change her mind.
Bad idea. One that will never work.

MISTAKE #3: Looking To Her For Approval Or Permission
In our desire to please women (which we mistakenly think will make them like us), us guys are always doing things to get a woman's "approval" or "permission".
Another HORRIBLE idea.
Women are NEVER attracted to the types of men who kiss up to them... EVER.
Don't get me wrong here.
You don't have to treat women BADLY for them to like you.
But if you think that treating a woman well means "always getting her approval and permission for things", think again.
You will never succeed by looking for approval. Women actually get ANNOYED at men who seek their approval.
Doubt me? Just ask any attractive woman if Wussy guys who chase her around and want her approval annoy her...

MISTAKE #4: Trying To “Buy” Her Affection With Food And Gifts
How many times have you taken a woman out to a nice dinner, bought her gifts and flowers, and had her REJECT you for someone who didn't treat her even HALF as well as you did?
If you're like me, then you've had it happen a LOT.
Well guess what?
It's only NATURAL when this happens...
That's right, I said NATURAL.
When you do these things, you send a clear message:
"I don't think you'll like me for who I am, so I'm going to try to buy your attention and affection". Your good intentions usually come across to women as over-compensation for insecurity, and weak attempts at manipulation. That's right, I said that women see this as MANIPULATION.

MISTAKE #5: Sharing “How You Feel” Too Early InThe Relationship With Her
Another huge and unfortunate mistake that most men make with women is sharing how they "feel" too early on.
Attractive women are rare.
And they get a LOT of attention from men.
Most men don't realize this, but attractive women are being approached in one way or another ALL THE
An attractive woman is often approached several times a DAY by men who are interested. This translate into dozens of times per week, and often HUNDREDS of times per month.
And guess what?
Attractive women have usually dated a LOT of men.
That's right. They have EXPERIENCE.
They know what to expect.
And one thing that turns an attractive women off and sends her running away faster than just about anything is a guy who starts saying "You know, I really, REALLY like you" after one or two dates.
This signals to the woman that you're just like all the other guys who fall for her too fast... and can't control themselves.
Don't do it. Lean back. Relax.
There's a much better way...

MISTAKE #6: Not “Getting” How Attraction Works For Women
Women are VERY different from men when it comes to ATTRACTION.
You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.
When a man sees a beautiful, young, sexy woman, he INSTANTLY feels a sexual attraction.
But does the same apply for women?
Do women feel sexual attraction to men based mostly on looks? Or is something else going on?
Well, after studying this topic for over five full years now, I can tell you that women usually have their "attraction mechanisms" triggered by things OTHER than looks.
Have you ever noticed that you see a lot more average and unattractive men with beautiful women than the other way around?
Think about it.
Women are more attracted to certain qualities in men... and they're attracted to the way a man makes them FEEL than they are to looks alone.
If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction to you that YOU feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.
But it's not an accident. You have to LEARN how to do this.
And ANY guy can learn how...

MISTAKE #7: Thinking That It Takes Money And Looks
One of the most common mistakes that guys make is giving up before they've even gotten started... because they think that attractive women are only interested in men who have looks and money... or guys who are a certain height... or guys who are a certain age.
And sure, there are some women who are only interested in these things.
But MOST women are far more interested in a man's personality than his wallet or his looks.
There are personality traits that attract women like a magnet...
And if you learn what they are and how to use them, YOU can be one of these guys.
YOU DO NOT have to "settle" for a woman just because you aren't rich, tall, or handsome.
Let me say this again: If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful sexual attraction to you that YOU feel when you see a hot, sexy young woman.

MISTAKE #8: Giving Away All Of Your Power To Women
Earlier I mentioned that it's a mistake to look to a woman for approval or permission.
Well, another similar tactic that a lot of guys use is GIVING AWAY THEIR POWER to women.
Said differently, guys try to get women to like them by doing whatever the woman wants.
Another bad idea...
Women are NEVER attracted to men that they can walk all over... Women aren't attracted to Wussies!

MISTAKE #9: Not Knowing EXACTLY What To Do In Each Type Of Situation With Women
Now I'm going to blow your mind...
A woman ALWAYS knows what you're thinking.
Women are approximately TEN TIMES better than men at reading body language. That's ten TIMES.
I know, it might be hard to believe. But for example, if you're out on a date with a woman, and you want to kiss her, she knows it.
And if you don't know exactly what to do and exactly HOW to kiss her, and you just sit there looking at her and getting nervous, she won't help!
And this goes for ALL aspects of women and dating...
Approaching a woman, getting her number, asking her out, kissing her, getting physical... everything.
If you don't know what to do in each situation, you will probably screw it up... and LOSE EVERYTHING.
And you KNOW it.
It is VITALLY important that you know EXACTLY how to go from one step to the next with a woman... from the first meeting, all the way to the bedroom.

MISTAKE #10: Not Getting HELP
This is the biggest mistake of all.
This is the mistake that keeps most men from EVER having the kind of success with women that they truly want.
I know, guys don't like to make themselves look weak or helpless. We don't like to ask for help.
Hey, I've been there myself.
Let me tell you a little about me and how I figured out how to be successful with women...
About five years ago I became fed up with the fact that I didn't know how to approach, meet, and get dates with women that I was attracted to.
It frustrated the hell out of me.
One night I was out with a friend, and I saw a woman I wanted to ask out, but I just couldn't get up the nerve to do it. I can still remember that night... right on the spot I made the decision to do whatever it took to learn how to be successful with women and dating.
Well, after a lot of hard work and trying all kinds of crazy things, I finally figured it all out.
I can now approach just about any woman and get her number almost instantly. I've dated models, I've dated actresses, and I've dated nice, normal, regular girls as well.

It has been a very rewarding experience. I no longer feel that sick, insecure feeling... like I don't know how to meet women... and I might wind up alone.
I know that anytime, anywhere, I can go out and meet attractive women.
I've written a book on the topic, and I've done seminars on both coasts of the United States... and taught tens of thousands of men all around the world.

People Day at Southern Ridge

2008-06-28T00:45:00.000+08:00

Today is our Departmental People's Day again.
This time we went to Canopy walk at Southern Ridge there.
OMG... the weather was very very hot... lolx...
Well... walking is a leisure for me because I love it.. haha...
Many of my colleagues are complaining of the heat and sun which
I can understand their feeling...
Overall, we took less than 2hrs to walk (or crawl) to the end point of
Harbour Front MRT.
At the end of the day, it was just to get away from work and do some exercises.
But what have it got to do with team bonding.. =p

Anyway, you people should go there to take a stroll or walk if got time...
Keke... to exercise and enjoying the beautiful scenary...
Remember to take some pictures because it is so cool and lovely...
^_^

A tribute to my buddy

2008-06-21T01:00:00.001+08:00

Dear Lionel,

I know you have gone to a far away place. It have been 2 years since you went to a peaceful and beautiful world. Even though I still cannot believe it happened but I will accept it gradually. He is so cruel to take you away from your family, your loved one and all your closed and good friends. You still have such a bright and wonderful future ahead of you. Your gf is waiting for you to propose to her. All your buddies are also waiting to celebrate when you passed the "hell training" and become a qualified SOF. Yet you are gone because of the mishap during the training.

The hardest thing is... you are always so helpful and kind towards people... You always wear that sunshine smile on your face. You also never give up even when the odds are against you. Your sheer determination, courage and perservance is what make you so different from others. You will always be remembered by those people and buddies who once been through "thick and thin" with you. I will try to learn many of those positive and good things that you once taught me. Even though we do not know each other long, I find that you are such a sincere and good person/friend to be with.

Trust me, I will still want you to be my buddy/friend or even my brother in my next life. Take care and rest in peace in the other world. You will live in my memories forever. May you blessed your family and loved one happiness, joy and peace and watched over them. God bless...

Courage Dispel Fear, Cdo!

The battle begin...

2008-06-19T12:20:00.003+08:00

Damn it... I lose my cool yesterday night....
I screamed... I shouted...
My eyes was filled with fiery fire...
My hand was ready to strike...
My head was telling me "just do it"

Well... I still know what I am saying or reacting...
However, I know I cannot stand him anymore...
He is the one who betrayed my trust....
He is the one who I suddenly feel so disappointed...
He is the one I respect most....
He is the one I always look upon as a good role model....
He has changed...
He is not the one I used to know...
He has become a devil... and I will have to fight against this devil...
I have to protect them because it is my responsibility now....
Come on... I will not give up....
No matter what... I will fight on...
When the going get tough...
the tough get going....

I cried... I struggled...
Yet I know the pain will slowly be healed...
Trust me.. I will overcome all the obstacles and be strong enough
to carry on the battle
God bless me...

Worse come to worse...

Sleepy but not tired?

2008-06-11T02:34:00.003+08:00

OMG... 2.38am now... My eyes was still wide awake...
Damn... I ate too late for my dinner at 12.15am... haha..
But I feel so tired but not sleepy yet..
Alamak... I overspend my budget this month...
Haven even 2nd week and I exceed my spending the first time
since I know money is not easy to come by...
What am I doing.. spending on .... haha...
Anyway, I was watching the Spain vs Russia match and
David Villa scored a hat-trick and they won 4-1 in the end...
Well... going to watch the 2nd game
Greece vs Sweden...
My prediction is Greece will win 2-1 ...

Shape of my heart

2008-06-03T23:22:00.008+08:00

Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother
If every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become
Oh yeah

Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Saddness is beautiful, loneliness is tragical
So help me I can't win this war
Oh no
Touch me now don't bother
If every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become...

Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart

I'm looking back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
Or keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Chorus:
Looking back on the things I've done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Now let me show you the shape of
Show you the shape of my heart....

Power Group Outing

2008-05-31T17:56:00.003+08:00

Power group outing...
First time went to dinner with so many colleagues... (from different dept too)
haha.. went to Nihon Mura to eat japanese food near Dobby Ghaut area...
About 13 people including me went for dinner on Friday.
There were quite a variety of food but I just eat sushi is full liao.. lolx
Anyway, it was an enjoyable dinner joking and talking with you guys...

Thank for organising this dinner outing Mr DQ yandao.
You did a good job and help the "chairman" Roger to save $50
by checking the receipt .. haha.. otherwise he would have pay extra $50
for eating nothing at all.. lolx...
You even sms me to tell me you feel bad about playing a "bad host"
But I do not feel that way at all...
Don't worry about not entertaining me and "ronaldo" haha.. cause
we enjoy the dinner and just that we never "interact much with the others"
cause still not know them well... except 2 to 3 people.. =p

Plus after the dinner, we went to eat the soya bean curd which you introduced...
It was very nice and tender and taste good.. and so cheap.. $0.80 per bowl...
unbelieveable price as the inflation goes high this year....
Of course, the "chairman" treated us the bean curd as you helped him save $50 just now..
Lastly, with you around, there is definitely lot of fun, laughter, jokes and crap things too.. making the whole atmosphere livlier and more happening too.

Once again.. thank for the outing and all the things you have done...
Really appreciate the efforts you put in.
Cheers =)

Crisis

2008-05-30T23:55:00.000+08:00

What is crisis...
What happen when there is crisis...
How do you react when you encounter a crisis...
Be mentally prepared...
Be brave and face the situation strongly...
Expect the unexpected...
Easier said than done...
maybe or or simply...
Just let fate and god decide...
Actually... the decision lies in our own hands...
Decisions, planning, taking calculated risk, depend on luck...
Choose wisely... because you only have one chance (sometimes)
and there is simply no turning back....

Sleepy .......

2008-05-26T12:17:00.004+08:00

Why must it rain all of a sudden?
Come on... please go away....
I want to play my soccer....
Well... too bad.. it just keep raining...
But soccer game still on...
So long never play in the rain... keke...
Luckily, it was not very heavy and after an hour of playing in the rain...
the sun finally come out...
No wonder there is a saying "there is alway sunshine after rain"
But I cannot see any rainbow.. lolx...
Then my whole shirt was so wet... and
then the hot sun was out ....
Oh my goodness...
I am being burnt by the hot blazing sun.... like a roasted pig....
Yet I keep going and for the last game...
I attempted a bicycle kick....
Waaa.. almost scored.. damn it....
But I still managed to score the last and decisive goal of the game and we won 5-4...
keke.... It was a "heng" goal... haha...

Anyway, thank for inviting me to the game, LY...
Your friends are so cute and nice..
and some of them are quite skillful and have nice body too.
keke... Hope to play with you guys again ^_^

Eyes is closing... need to go and sweat it out...

Happening Night

2008-05-18T23:53:00.003+08:00

My first time to the pub with some colleagues...
The place was just so happening....
So many gals dancing and coming to drink with you...
I was not that excited but quite nervous and worried...
Thankfully... I have always been firm and didnt do much
except just staring and watching my colleague dancing all over...haha..
Wishful thinking!!!

Come.. Cheers.. Bottom up...
One more glass.... Steady lah...
Phew... luckily, I am still able to hold down my liquor quite well..
Towards the end, one of my colleagues even try to "make me drunk"
haha.. of course he didnt succeed...
But I ended up drinking more than 9 to 10 glasses of beer... OMG...
Need to exercise and jog more to cut down my "beer belly"
And it was also the first time I spend so much money in a night.. lol...
Anyway.. it was just for some enjoyment and getting an experience of a night life
in Singapore hot and popular place (cannot tell u but not Gelyang of course).
Sex & the city...
Now I guess I know what it mean...

Well.. I was still quite sober enough to make my own way home...
Thank guys for the nice experience =)
But please don't drink and spend so much money there
because you all still have gf and wives.... haha...
Don't worry .. your secret is safe with me ^_^

Sinking Ship

2008-05-17T17:05:00.004+08:00

I feel like a sinking ship....
slowly...
gradually....
watching myself... submerging into the bottom of the sea...
Wait...... I will not allow myself to be drowned just like that...
I will find my escape route...
I need to stay afloat and find a help....
I must find something for me to float and survived this obstacle
this big storm... this heavy strong current....

The wave is getting stronger day by day....
Will I find a solution.....
I need to be strong mentally... psychologically....
No matter what happen....
I can only look at the sky and hope for the best....
Right now... I will just let the wave... the water... the current
carry me to where I should belong....
slowly drifting and hopefully
I can reached an island .....

or if I am lucky....
There will be a small boat coming to rescue me
take me to a safe place
I wish...
I pray...
I hope....
for now...
let me close my eyes and
think of nothing....
because I am tired...
-.-

Changes....

2008-05-16T01:00:00.000+08:00

Today is my organisation GM, Lou farewell party.
We have an almost half day celebration for him at Raffles Convention Centre.
It was a touching and emotional scene because I can understand how
after working 25yrs for the same company and staying 8yrs in Singapore with his family.
He was a Dutch and will be leaving to Holland in 1 month time.
It is good that the company recognise his contributions and great effort all over the years.
Many of his working colleagues and secretaries as well as those under him speak highly of him
even though he has great and high expectations (otherwise how to be GM) lolx...
The food was very nice and good... keke..
I ate 3 round and was so full that I almost "vomitted" haha...
of course, there was something which he highlighted that make me also realised it is very true.
The world is dynamic....
Things is constantly changing....
We have to be prepared for changes...
anytime... anywhere....

=====================================================
Changes....
We need to accept changes...
We need to understand the needs for changes....
We need to adapt and react to changes....
We need to be ready for changes
Be it dynamic, unexpected, major or minor changes...
Everyday, there are so many thousands of changes around us...
around the world... around the environment.... around the people...
If we do not keep moving forward constantly....
we will be lagging behind ulitmately...

Lastly... changes is inevitable....
if we can be flexible and accept new changes..
we are ready for new challenges anytime....
Life change... things change.... the world change...
People.... also change....
hopefully I will also change.... for the better...

Zzzz... so hot

2008-05-02T00:15:00.001+08:00

A lot of things and thoughts suddenly flashing through my mind....
I don't know what to blog here....
I just feel so lost, confused and blanked.....
What happening to me?
Oh my gosh....
Stop thinking.......
It is just a dream....
go to sleep and wake up tomorrow...
I will feel better....
This weather is super hot even I cut my hair so short today T_T
Feeling so sweaty right now...

Ok.. don't lose my cool...
A gentleman should never lose his cool... =)
But hey, I am not a gentleman...
I am an Ironman...
Bishhhhhhh... full of craps and rubbish...
Crazy thoughts running in my mind....
Go shower and sleep better....

Just for you

2008-05-01T14:47:00.007+08:00

Song by: Beyond
Title: 缓慢

一双铁翅膀
送我到这地方
天快亮
舍不得这机场
缓慢的游荡
在拥挤的机场
风一样
多少荧光屏
总是闪烁不停
天与地
在中间它来临
缓慢的飞机
有否我期待的
一个你

忘记你说你会继续
还是要结束
分开时只管哭
我是否太迷糊
你是否仍在乎等
得太久不想继续
也不愿结束
分开时我走出
最遥远的旅途
最缓慢的脚步

一杯热咖啡
抵不住我的累
他是谁
在拥抱的是谁
缓慢的流泪
我没有太伤悲
我以为

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWEEhxTQlE

========================================================

This song is delicated for you from my heart.
It may sound bitter, sad and emotional but
I realised it somehow reflected how I feel at that moment
when you are no longer with me.
The wound have already been healed and whatever things
and promise you said, I will try to forget all of it.
I know you have gone to another place and is living a happy life. (hopefully)
Those (happy, sweet and sad) memories will be inside my mind for as long as I live.
I will try to lock them in a box and carry on with my life.

Today is 1st May, a public holiday for Labour day and is also your birthday.
Just want to wish you happy and healthy always.
May you and him be blessed with happiness, joy and health.
Please take care of yourself because I will no longer be there for you.

生日快乐
XX, Happy Birthday.

Not again!

2008-04-30T04:34:00.006+08:00

Zzzzz........ Not again!
What rotten luck?
Getting injured once again....
4th time in 3 weeks...
Damn it....
Never mind...... I tell myself....
I will not concede defeat.... NO WAY!
I will get back fitter and stronger...
No matter what obstacles and challenge I be facing, I will not let it pull me down.
It is just a test of character for me to overcome all the "pain barrier" and difficulties..
I am sure of that....
I can do it
I will do it
I must do it
I am an IRONMAN.......
No Pain, No Gain!
God will blessed me and give me the strength and power....
because I believe...
Amen!

Give me PEACE

2008-04-29T00:13:00.005+08:00

I do not understand why....
A simple PEACE is so hard to achieve.
In this tense and stressful world....
I only want a simple thing called PEACE....
Haiz...
at work no peace.
at home no peace.

I also do not want to make too much decisions
because I do not want to hurt anyone....
Decisions ..................................
PEACE........................................

Go to sleep better....
Turn on my music...
Close my eyes...
I feel peace....
God... please give me PEACE....
I need "Peace" in my heart....

Dept Bonding at Marina Square

2008-04-28T19:27:00.007+08:00

Last Friday, we had a half day department outing at Marina Square.
There were more than 70 over people. (at least 10 are on leave or biz trip)
We had our lunch at a restaurant called Yuki Yaki...
Haha.. it is my first time eating in this restaurant...
Bascially... there were sliced pork, beef, mutton, chicken etc....
and a lot of other different variety of food.
We were given tom yam soup but it taste more like "padi chili soup" ... lolx

After the heavy lunch, it was time to do some "exercise" haha...
There was this thing called "Photo Treasure Hunt" in the entire
Marina Square Shopping Centre...
Haha.. each team (total 7 instead of original 8) was given 10 shops picture logo.
The leader of the team (with 9 to 10 members each) has to take a picture
with the identified shop logo and then whoever finished the 10 photos will win the contest.
Haha.. as always, I am very lucky.
My team got my ex group leader who known the places quite well as he frequent the shopping centre.
Keke.. in the end, our team was the first to finish and we won the contest... in 50min.
The 2nd team to reach is 1 min later... lolx... so lucky siah...

Finally, the last program of the day is to make our own ice cream.
Whoever have the "best design" will win some "attractive prizes" ... lol.. But I am focus only on eating the ice cream my colleagues make and
don't bother about the ice cream contest at all...
Anyway, the program ended at 4.30pm and we can all go back home early...
haha... hope can have more of such dept outing.... so nice and no need to work.

Super Tired

2008-04-24T21:45:00.000+08:00

Just finished a game of soccer near my company....
Do not feel like going home... haha..
Super duper tired siah...
I guess I used up 80% of my energy but because of my leg and calf injuries
I feel so tired and "shag out".... guess is worse than "making love" haha..
No lah.. maybe too long never run like crazy all over the places....
Or maybe my muscles is too "tensed"
Maybe... I am getting too old liao... heart is weaker... mind is slower and body is ......
It is around 9.30pm and the office is so quiet but still got light on ... haha..
Went to do some gym and dumb bell but my wrist was feeling the pain...
Must be I have twisted it accidentally just now....
Now legs also limping but not serious lah...
Whatever lah... I don't really care anymore...
Such physical pains and hurt is nothing because I suffer worse than these...
Haha... feeling a bit hungry suddenly while blogging....
Guess time for me to shut down my laptop.
Go back home have a good shower...
Eat a nice dinner...
Listen to sweet music....
Lie on my bed...
and start my dreaming... haha...

*YAWN*.....
Good night readers
Happy Dreaming!
^_^

Philips Superstar Contest

2008-04-24T21:16:00.002+08:00

Was watching some of the contestant who took part in this Philips Superstar contest.
It was held at a mini KTV lounge behind the carpark in my company.
Had 12 participants initially but 1 of them pulled out at the last minute... haha..
Only one of the guy contestant caught my eyes with his super duper impressive voice.
He sang a song by Andy Lau "Bing Yu" direct translation mean "Ice Rain".
He have such a steady and good voice that ultimately he was one of the few contestants to
be into the "Finals" .... haha.. actually I think the rest "no fight at all"
Anyway, the judges (only 2) a bit kelong to let 2 of the gals (who was in the revival round)
and let them into the Finals 6 also....
Well... since they are the judges and make the final decision... then so be it...
But I must admitted that they deserved my applause for having the courage to sing in front of 50 over people.
Anyway, 95% of them sang old songs and most guys picked Jacky Cheung (Zhang Xue You) songs...
which is quite amazing because I thought they will sing mostly pop or newer songs.. haha..
Seem like old songs are still much preferred siah even though most of the contestant are only early to mid 20s
Hope that in the Finals, they will make it tougher fight and hopefully, an "underdog" can win ... lolx

My fault again?

2008-04-17T21:05:00.002+08:00

We were having a soccer game in our company premise as usual.
However, I had a small arguement with one of my teammate (who is also my new colleague coincidentally.)
He was blaming me for a goal scored against us and saying what the hell am i playing?
I was like "what the hell and who do u think u are"?
I was having pain on my waist and my right calf and he was saying I am not commited to my role.
Basket... crap... kns ... he was a good player who is quite skillful no doubt but... soccer is a team game.
Damn... he make me so HOT for the rest of the game... and I was like don't bother to pass me the ball
cause I will just WHACK it away anyhow...
Really spoiled my mood....

During the game, I feel like playing opposite him... zzzzzzzzzzzz....
"Calm down... stay cool.... be composed..." those are the words that I keep telling myself
in my mind as the game went on...
Oh... yeah.. finally the first game is over...
we reshuffled and grouped into new team... and this time... I was against him...
That great.. I got a chance to show him... I AM VERY COMMITED in the game...
I was so determined and motivated that everytime he got the ball....
I will try to "steal and deter" him from getting the ball at his feet...
Yes.. I did it... many many times.. although I was in pain.. yet I was so happy because
I have "gained my revenge" against him...
In the end, my team won against him... haha...
Thank God.... you answered my prayer and showed that I am still a
committed and good player as well...

Of course, it was a game afterall... and we are still friends cum colleague after the game is over...
At least, I proved that I am not a crap player playing anyhow...
3 cheers for me

Inter Company Futsal Competition

2008-04-12T23:53:00.000+08:00

Goal............
Yeah... we won the first game 2-0 against Chiva
Amazingly, we didnt even have a single training tomorrow...
but our performance was quite messy and not too good...
haha.. however, the 2nd game against Keppel was not too good...
one of our players was given a RED card with 90 sec left...
the Keppel player was injured and disllocated his shoulder.. and
was send to hospital immediately... OMG... so unlucky... God bless..

This game, we draw 1-1 and went to penalties shootout...
Oh....... yeahhhhhhhh we won 3-1 ....
But I didnt played because I got a slight injuries on my back...
so let the captain (Goalkeeper) played instead...
However.... the next game... we lost... to UMC by penalties... 1-0...
We missed all 3 penalties... so sad.... and disappointed...
if not we will have be the winner of the table...
Since we lost, we have to play Keppel again because
this is a double knock out format...
which mean loser got a 2nd chance to "revenge".
This time... we lost to Keppel 1-0... damn....w
We hit the post 1 time... a goal disallowed for whatever reasons.....
and we are out of the competition... so disappointed.. but anyway,
I just makan my free lasi lemak given by JTC and watched the other games...

We be back... again next year (provided I am still with the company)
Failure to go all the way motivated me to do better in future...
because I am a WINNER....
Cheers

Went to blood donation organised by my company today.
Feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness because I am glad that I am still healthy and strong to be able to donate blood.

I was happy to see quite a number of nice and kind people went to donate too. Hopefully for those of you out there who never donated before,please give it a try because this is a meaningful thing.
Trust me, it is less pain than a mosquito bite. Every packet of blood counts.

Of course, for those who got health problems or not suitable to giveblood donation, it is fine because I am sure you all can contribute in some other ways...

Leslie Cheung - 5th Death Anniversary

2008-04-01T23:30:00.007+08:00

1st April will never be the same since 2003 when we lost a popular and talented
Hong Kong artist, Leslie Cheung.It's been 5 yrs since he died in a suicide in 2003.
No... this is not April Fool joke...

I still remembered clearly I was very sad and shocked when I first heard this new in 2003. Because at that period, I was also having an exercise mission.
(during NSF) However, it was also during this day that I failed my mission...
I have failed my men, my company and my battalion.
Even though it was not entirely my fault...
but I know I need to bear full responsibility on the outcome of this exercise.
This incident will forever be etched in my memories.

Anyway, it is the Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment loss of a very talented and good artist. Many a times, people choose suicide as the last resort because they really cannot take it anymore or are being forced into a "dead end or corner"... Losing our sanity can make us do a lot of silly and
stupid things at times.

However, by choosing such an easy route to end our misery, more often or not, we are also causing hurt, pain, grieve, suffering to many others. Especially those who care, concern and love us... Guess sometime Heaven like to make sport of people which is so cruel and sad. No doubt that we can choose and make decision on what we want in life... Certain decisions making can be sometime be "fatal and deadly" Well,
I guess it is not easy being a well-known artist as Leslie because he
is always in the limelight and is also being watched by the public and the media as well.

Lastly... there will only be one and only Leslie Cheung.
Let pay a tribute to him for all his good movies and songs that he leave us.
We love and miss you so much...
God bless.... Amen

P.S: Just knew today that he have the same birthday as my twin sisters... (Sept 12)
I repeated again... this is not a April Fool Joke too...

Below is a video which is showing one of his popular song called 追. Enjoy!

Sunday Soccer

2008-03-31T00:22:00.002+08:00

Today just went to play soccer with my cousin. (the financial planner)
The game was played at lor ah soh (outskirt of Hougang area)
It was like omg.. 11yrs ago since we last played together...
That was so long and it only show how fast times have passed...

We had a good and fast pace game with some aggressive tackle in between.
Although I was so tired ... yet I was smiling....
because I am lucky to be able to kick and play soccer...
luckily I didnt have any injuries which happened to one of the player
while he was going to pick a ball.. that was a freak accident siah...
His left ankle was a bit swollen and the game was stopped...

I wish him speedy recovery and hope he will be more careful next time...
Hopefully, there will be more soccer games with my cousin
because I really enjoy the feeling of playing game with him...

Dating Fears =)

2008-03-24T00:38:00.001+08:00

Ditch your dating fears
By Kimberly Dawn Neumann

Yes, dating can be scary! You’ve got such high hopes and you’re putting your heart on the line, so it makes sense you’d find yourself a little freaked. But don’t let your jitters ruin a rendezvous. Here’s how we can help make that happen: We decided to address some of the most common insecurities that people experience in those early dating days. Our simple tips help you turn your worry into a “Wow, that was fun!” feeling.

Dating Insecurity #1: “I’m not my date’s type.”Stressed that Mr./Ms. Adorable won’t approve of your looks, outfit, career, personality, dating history, etc.? This line of thinking won’t do anything but make you a nervous wreck. A better bet? Flip it. “The purpose of a date is to decide whether you want another one, not whether the person likes you,” says Dan Neuharth, Ph.D., author of Secrets You Keep From Yourself: How to Stop Sabotaging Your Happiness. So just act as if your date is the one auditioning for approval—because it’s true. “This will allow you to relax so you can enjoy the moment,” says Dr. Neuharth.

Dating Insecurity #2: “I’m going to do something stupid.” You worry that you’ll spill red wine in your date’s lap, choke on a nacho, slip on the sidewalk or have some other mortifying mishap… suddenly you’ll be every shade of red and your date will think you’re a dork, right? Think again. Even if something like this were to happen, here’s the upside: Showing your vulnerable side can actually endear you to your match. “Some happy couples’ fondest memories and oft-repeated stories are about early embarrassing moments, like snorting when laughing or dipping your sleeve in soy sauce,” says Dr. Neuharth. “When you see another person being embarrassed, it humanizes that person and you feel a natural kinship.” So if the unimaginable happens, laugh (instead of freaking out or apologizing over and over all night) and embrace that you’re now part of the “embarrassing dating moments” club.

Dating Insecurity #3: “What if I have to let this person down eventually?”“Before a date, I always worry about how I’ll handle things if I don’t want to see the guy again and he’s into me,” says Christina Avion, 32, Los Angeles, CA. “I feel terrible about the prospect of having to reject someone and can work myself up into a real state over it.” Hey, it’s nice to be concerned about your date’s feelings, but a candlelit dinner doesn’t equal signing up for happily ever after. “As the saying goes, you can’t make a good omelet without breaking a few eggs,” says Dr. Neuharth. So quit over-thinking and deal with turning the person down when and if it’s actually necessary. Should that be the case, Dr. Neuharth suggests replying with “I don’t think we’re a match” or simply “No, thank you” when you’re asked for another date. And while it feels like you’re delivering some huge blow, try some perspective: “Letting someone down shows that you respect the person’s time, and most adults can take care of themselves,” says Dr. Neuharth.

Dating Insecurity #4: “I’ll accidentally offend my date.”You roll your eyes at the mention of a pretentious film festival, only to realize your dinner partner was actually inviting you along. How do you recover? “If you offend someone, the magic words are simply ‘I’m sorry,’” says Dr. Neuharth. You can’t possibly know everything about your date, so you may unintentionally cross a no-no line. If you apologize sincerely but your date is still touchy, then you probably wouldn’t work out with that person long-term anyway. But if he or she appreciates your contrition, you can move on to more interesting (and neutral) subjects.

Dating Insecurity #5: “I’m so bad at small talk.”Feeling conversationally challenged? Whether you tend to talk a mile-a-minute or go silent and slack-jawed, hiccups in first-date banter can be panic-inducing. “I went out with a guy who barely spoke, so I found myself spilling personal information about myself, my family and my job just because I couldn’t handle the silence,” admits Jennifer Byrne, 35, Minneapolis, MN. If you tend to blab when you’re nervous or to fill an awkward silence, remind yourself that it’s not your job to carry the conversation single-handedly. “Your date is capable of coming up with things to talk about, too,” says Dr. Neuharth. “Pause, listen or even break the ice by saying, ‘Don’t you hate awkward silences on dates?” A tactic that’s good for people who tend to clam up? Always have a couple of great conversation-starting questions in your back pocket, like “What’s the one weekend activity you never get tired of?” or “What adventures do you hope to have before the year is over?”

Dating Insecurity #6: “The ending of the date is always awkward.”Stressing about the goodnight moment before you even order dessert: Kiss or no kiss? Shake hands? Go for a hug? Ask for another date? The best solution is to let your gut guide you. If you had a good time, say so with feeling. If you didn’t, just say “thank you.” And if you’re not sure whether to smooch, just smile broadly, squeeze your honey’s hand, and turn to depart. It gives your date the perfect opportunity to make a move without any weirdness if he or she doesn’t go for a kiss. “If you two clicked, there will be more dates and the endings will become easier and probably more delicious!” says Dr. Neuharth. Which is a nice thought that you can use to calm your nerves during a date.

Why should I bother?

2008-03-17T00:07:00.005+08:00

Sometimes, I wondered.. "why should I bother"
Bother about the people around me, the problems that is not related to me,
bother about unnecessary troubles, bother about work which is just work lor.. etc
Why Why Why?
I have no answer at all...

Then what does my mother want from me?
Why is it that she just cannot stop her "nagging or complaints" to me?
As if I have commited a major crime or what?
I already listened to her so much since I was young and
I hated what I am today because I feel like I am not happy at all... zzzz
Why must everything I do also need her permission and involvement?
I want to turn rebelious so many times and moved out of the house...
She knew that what my personality is like and she just
want to provoke me further by asking silly and stupid questions repeatedly.
Do I really have to become a CRAZY and MAD person before I can have peace of mind?
I really cannot stand it anymore... I just so scared inside...
I hope and pray that I will not lose my hot temper and become out of control...
I do not know what is my tolerance level and patience limit to my loved one esp my family.

Somehow they kept doing things which I just feel not interested to know at all...
Perhaps the more I bo chap, the more attention they seek from me...
Damn it... It is not I am bo chap... it is never because I do not care or don't bother to know...
Simply the fact is... I do care and bother.. and
In fact, I just think I cared, concern and bother about them too much
maybe in a different way and methods using the devil power...
perhaps I just want to do things differently from others...

OMG... suan le....forget it...
Let the heaven decide for me.
Complaining and vexing so much is also useless now...
There are much better things to do tomorrow...
Leave me alone and I will be fine...
I am going for my sleep now...
It is the best cure and medicine for me I guess....

Good Night everyone!
Sweet Dreams too
^_^

Movie Night 10,000 BC

2008-03-13T01:30:00.001+08:00

It was the first time I registered for the free movie night tickets and
watch with the company employees (who brought along their friends. spouse, kids etc)
We went to Cathay cinema near PS and the seat there was quite comfortable.. haha... well, we even bought moss burger before going into the cinema 20min earlier to book a seat.

I do not have a high expectation of a movie so overall, the show
was quite ok to me... just that I don't really understand the moral of the story
Maybe Good can never triumph over the evil.. haha
The movie has a sweet and happy ending .. The hero saved the people, rescued his woman and lived happily ever after.
I love the hero in the movie because
I always dreamed of being the hero (minus the woman) too. lol

Hero rulezzzzz ^^

Car Accident?

2008-03-11T01:10:00.001+08:00

Today, there was car accident outside my company which happened around 9.20am.

I was taking a cup of coffee when right at the top of the window, I could see that
the car had hit the rail and fell into the big drain.
At this time, I was thinking....
OMG... did anyone get hurt and is the driver still alive?
Luckily, the car did not hit the bus stop which is less than 10m away
because there could have be people waiting for bus
when the accident happen...

Wen I saw the condition of the car and how badly dented it is

as well as the number plate dropped off the front of the car,

my mind was like...

What the hell is the driver actually doing at that time?
Is he speeding?

Is he talking on his handphone?

Is he sleepy and "half-asleep" while driving or should I say daydreaming?

There was little possibility to hit the rail on the side of the road until so badly.

See picture and you could be shocked if you are at the scene.
He definitely must be speeding... I ponder
How reckless and irresponsible can he be?

What happen if he have killed someone or even crashed onto another vehicle?

It could have been disasterous
I kept thinking to myself that God decide to spare his life and

give him another chance to live on.
It was quite amazing that he didnt get any bad injuries as
he was still able to talk and smoke and at the same time,

I can even hear him cursing and swearing with a traffic policeman...

Basket... I guess this thing will not had happened if he have not speed in the first place.
It give me cold shiver just to think what if I happened to walk along that pavement
at that time when the accident happened... God bless...

To all youngsters, drivers & whoever is driving or riding (including the ladies & woman),
Please DO NOT SPEED...
Please be considerate and think of others who are also on the road and pavement.
Please be responsible for you own actions...
Lastly, please spare a thought and think of your loved one, friends and family.

How hurt and painful will they be if you are badly injured or killed because of a stupid

car accident due to speeding?

Can you also imagine what would happen if there was some

innocent victim (eg: your friends, relative or family members - *touchwood*)

who died as a result of such reckless driving....

Be a safe, responsible and good driver.

Thank U ^_^

Honesty is Stupidity?

2008-03-07T01:30:00.000+08:00

Sometimes my mind keep wondering...
Is it good to be honest to everybody...
Is being honest to people a bad thing...
Or must I always be "fake" just to impress and please people?
I don't know... and I have no answer....
Anyway, I guess it depend on individual personality, characters, own values and beliefs.
as well as the situation and the type of people u mixed with.

Well, I choose to be honest and admit my mistake to one of my youngest sis, R
I was bathing and somehow or rather...
I accidentally flushed down one of her "facial wash" tube into the toilet bowl...
Basket... how did it happen?
I mean I just flushed the toilet bowl and the container too slippery and fallen into the bowl.
Alamak... I was thinking...
Should I tell her I was the one who make her facial wash tube "disappeared"
or should I just pretend that nothing happen...
Well... the devil inside me said.. nvm lah... not your fault... it just happened and forget it lor..
but my angel (conscience) tell me... just admit to her that you are the one who carelessly
lose the thing accidenatally lor... will not die right!
Zzzz.. in the end, when I came out of the toilet...
I told R that.. sorry kor just now accidentally flushed down your facial wash tube
into the toilet bowl...
Then her reaction was... WHAT THE HELL....
KNS.. u bloody kor... do you know how much that facial wash cost...
it is around $20 which I bought a few weeks ago...
At this moment, I knew I must have make a mistake in confessing the truth to her..
haiz... out of my own pride and dignity, I shot back and argue with her...

Then the next day, I gave her the $20 for her to buy a new one....
Now I guess being honest and confessing your mistakes is "stupidity and costly"
haha... I learnt a "new" lesson today..

People's Day (Bowling sux)

2008-03-01T01:12:00.000+08:00

Today is Friday... 29th Feb... a leap year which occur once every 4 year...
Wondering who are the lucky babies to be born at this time... Are they (un)lucky to celebrate their birthday only once every 4 yr?
Or do they also celebrate it on 28th Feb or 1st Mar every year?

Haha.. machiam like got 3 kind of date to celebrate for babies born on this special day.
It is just like having a European Cup or World Cup once every 4 year....
lol.. joking only.. no offence to those born on 29th Feb, OK!

-------------------------------------------------------------
Well... today is also a teambonding day for my dept..
Actually, every last week (friday) of the month,

there will be such a
event called "People's Day" (or teambonding)
Initially, I thought it sound cool but after a while,
I find it lame and useless... just "for show" nia

For this teambonding, we went to have our lunch at Balestier area
Eating chicken rice and some other "special dishes"
The budget was $120 but final bill was around $150.
My big big boss (from Holland) came to Singapore and
he was invited to join us for the "teambonding" as well.

After the lunch, we went to bowling at Hougang Superbowl....
Sian.. I don't like bowling.. but I cannot be such a "spoiled sport"
because everybody have to participate except one of my colleague
who is in his mid 50s got a back problems so he was "exempted"

Well, my first throw was a disaster...
the 2 attempts failed miserably and fell into "long kang" (drain of the alley)
Anyway, the first game ended finally
My score was 87points which is better
than what I expected since I anyhow "throwed" all the ball
but I managed to get one strike ... lol...
The 2nd game was slightly better with my first throw a spare
and the 2nd throw a STRIKE... haha..
after that, I simply anyhow rolled the bowling ball
because who cares... I not interested to get high score also.

The final score for 2nd game was 98.

At last, it was all over...
Hehe.. the only good thing is I can go home at 4.30pm..
This is one of the earliest time I can go back because
I can finally get to see the some sunlight when I "knocked off"

Chicken Curry =p

2008-02-28T00:02:00.001+08:00

Today, after my jogging, i get to eat one of my favourite dish...
Curry Chicken... so yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!
Looking at the potatoes, the chicken and the curry gravy...

OMG... the look of it is just so tempting...

irresistable... delicious... spicy.... fantastic
Mixing it with the rice, put into my mouth

waaaa... making my whole body feel so "hot and high"

Very SHIOK siah...

By the way, this is my mummy specially home cooked

curry chicken with special receipe... lol... just kidding!

Mum, can you please add more cabbages next time hor...

because I love veggies...

thank u... muack =)

My cousin & financial planning

2008-02-25T01:00:00.000+08:00

Do you believe in coincidence? Do you think the world is quite small? Well, I met one of my cousin (called him 3S) for appointment on Saturday. I know he was a finanical planner/consultant with Prudential. More amazingly is that he was under the same agency which I have been working for previously. (I was once a Prudential advisor .. keke) But not only that, he was also work for the same manager which I have been under previously.

He was also surprised because he didnt know I have study finance and investment planning
and went for the PSA training at Prudential (in 2004). But I left after 6months in the job
because I feel this is not "my cup of tea" ... haha... maybe I still prefer "coffee"
At that time he was still doing his final year Engineering degree in his University.

At the same time, we also talked about some of the previous colleagues which I knew
and how he get to know about the finance and insurance industry.
Well, he was accompanying his soon to be wife (getting married in this Sept 2008)
to listen to the talk in 2005 and somehow or rather he was quite interested and
soon after he also went for the PSA training. And that is how he become an advisor
(now they are called financial consultant - nicer name =p)

Well, times really flies like nobody business... Me and 3S were very close cousins
because we were staying next to each other in Yishun 11yrs ago...
We often played marbles, soccer, basketball, cycling, badminton etc together
and attend the same primary school. He was always one of my role model and
until now, he still set a good example which I really respect and got a lot to learn from him too.
I always admire the way he do things, his intelligence, the way he talk and his leadership
(that why he was an officer during NS time)
Haha... finally, he got this lovely and charming smile which make girls attract to him easily.
That must be one of the reasons why his wife was attracted to him (i guess =p)

Anyway, we met again today (Sunday 24 Feb) and he arranged a policy which suit
my need. I have no problem agreeing to sign and pay the money on the spot because
I have full confidence and belief in what he is doing and since I have study the same
things before, therefore I also know the "pros and cons" of the policy term and conditions.
Furthermore, I feel that if I do not start a plan now (since it is cheaper and more affordable)
then if something really happen to me, at least my parents and family (if I get married in future)
then I do not need to worry so much.

Financial planning is definitely very important nowaday. We need to have sufficient savings
for retirement and also enjoyment. Furthermore, if I happened to die first, then at least my next of kin will also have some form of coverage and protection for another couple of years and ease some of their burden too. Well, I am not trying to be negative or pessimistic
but you will never know what is going to happen in life, isn't it so?
That is why it is better to have some "backup plan" since i am still "young"
At least, I know the policy will benefit me (as well as my family) in the long term and
my future is being taken care of if something really happen.
It is also a commitment to take up such a policy because you need to pay the premiums
monthly and also be able to sustain in a long period of time.

To those who do not save or have doubts on such policy, maybe it is time for you to start thinking to have your own fiancial planning. It is never too young or early to develop such a good and nice habit. Good luck to you =)

The day I went CRAZY

2008-02-21T21:11:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I finally found the courage to say "Sorry" to my youngest twin sister.
I knew I was overboard and unreasonable the previous night before...
I should not have make such a fuss over her complaint on the food...
Thinking back, I was just too reckless, impulsive and went too much to "threaten to hit her"
I guess the Devil inside me empowered my mind and brain at that moment...
Luckily, I am still able to control my own body movement and didnt use any violence...
OMG... I really wondered what will happen if I "strike" the first blow...
Thank goddness... I am able to regain my rationality and nothing happened in the end.
Whatever I must be thinking that day is just plain ridiculous and unexplainable.
Really not sure how I finally managed to master enough courage to say a simple word
"dui bu qi and sorry, please forgive kor"
haha.. thinking back and quite amazingly...
the sentence just came out of my mouth... phew
I dare to admit that I am wrong... feeling disgusted and ashamed of my attitude.
As a brother, I should be protecting my sister and not hurt them instead..
Hopefully this will never happen again.

Thank God...

Shen Dian Xia (Fei Fei) have gone

2008-02-19T13:05:00.004+08:00

Another popular HK artist, Fei Fei have passed away.
While watching the news, it suddenly hit me..
What is more important in life?
What do we really want?
At different stage of our life, our priority will be changed and we have other needs/desire.
At least, I am fortunate that my health is still fine and strong... (at least for now)

Which of the following do you want?
Got wealth, no health...
Got health, no wealth...
Got wealth, health and happiness...
In a ideal world, we all want to have everything...
Happiness, Health, Joy, Good fortune & Wealth..
But the actual fact is that reality is cruel, unfair & sometimes beyond our control.

Hereby, I wish Fei Fei can rest in peace on the other part of the world.
Thank for your hilarious, funny and witty entertainment show & drama in the past
You shall always be remembered
and live in our memories forever!
God Bless....

Freak Accident

2008-02-19T09:56:00.002+08:00

Ouch...
Suddenly... a pain struck my neck and both side of my shoulders become very stiff and aching...
This happened yesterday after lunch time at 2.15pm when I was replying to an email and
also having sametime with my colleague....
Oh My Goddness... the sudden freak accident make my whole neck very stiff and pain indeed.
I am unable to move my neck left and right...
I can only look upright, staring straight at my laptop screen...
I don't even have the mood and momentus to do anything because of this freak accident...
I kept thinking.. how can such a thing happen to me?
Was it my sitting posture...
Or did I sit in the office under the air con for too long?
Or was it the food I ate during lunch just now that caused this?
LOL.. I can think of all kind of lame, stupid and incredible reasons but
there will still be no answer to how the accident can happen since it was FREAK...

Anyway, I came to this conclusion...
It is Heaven's will and somebody up above want me to take a rest from my work...
Maybe it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise...
Haha.. it was lame but who cares...
There are so many freak and funny accidents happening everywhere in the world...
Who know.. while you are reading my blog, a "freak accident" is awaiting for you...
haha.. just kidding...
Don't take it so seriously because life is already so stressed out...and so tiring...

Well, it was my company "Lou Hei" today... They invited Lion & Dragon dance to
bring good luck, good fortune and prosperity for the company...
Hope that this can turn the company fortunes and make more money this year
even though I do not have much confidence and beliefs in them.. haha
Cause if so, why are there so many employees leaving at the start of the year... lmao..
I will not be attending the "Lou Hei" this year since I am resting at home
after being given a 2 days Medical Leave by the doctor
who decided that my freak accident is bad enough as he have also given me a jab too...
Well... whatever it is, I will make use of the MC and planned for my future and development
as what I have been thinking all this while...

Time for me to start updating my resume and send to my future prospective employer
hopefully, there will be no "freak accidents" anymore for me this year...
haha...

10 funny flirting facts

2008-02-17T13:33:00.002+08:00

Haha... just came across an article on flirting...
actually it can be quite lame...
but who cares.... Read on.... =)

So you’ve mastered the eye-contact game and can beckon a cute prospect with a few coy glances… but do you really know all there is to know about the fine art of come-hither? Just to make sure you’re up to speed, we culled some very surprising info that you can use to your advantage. Read on for some juicy tidbits that may up your cute quotient in no time

1. Flirting is good for you. Studies show that people who flirt have higher white blood-cell counts, which boost their immunity and keep them healthy.

2. Think it ends at a little eye batting? Hardly—all told, scientists say there are 52 “flirting signals” used by humans. Of these, the hair flip is the most common.

3. In some places, flirting is illegal. In Little Rock, AR, an antiquated law is still on the books warning that engaging in playful banter may result in a 30-day jail term. In New York City, another outdated law mandates that men may be fined $25 for gazing lasciviously at a female; a second conviction stipulates the offender wear a pair of blinders whenever he goes out for a walk.

4. Why wait for Happy Hour? Lots of people get their flirt on during their morning commute. A full 62 percent of drivers have flirted with someone in a different vehicle while on the go, and 31 percent of those flirtations, it turns out, resulted in a date.

5. Flirting need not occur face to face. According to Pew Research, 40 percent of people who look for love online say they can easily flirt with someone via email or IM.

6. In the Victorian era, fans were the ultimate playful prop that could communicate all sorts of messages. A fan placed near the heart meant, You have won my love. A half-opened fan pressed to the lips suggested, You may kiss me. Hiding the eyes behind an open fan meant, I love you, while opening and closing the fan several times warned, You are cruel. Given how much a fan could come in handy, it’s a shame they ever invented air conditioning.

7. These days, cell phones do the flirting. In one survey, half of all mobile phone users have texted suggestive messages to keep things interesting while away from their amour.

8. Watch out, you can overdo it. According to the Social Issues Research Centre, the most common mistake people make when flirting is maintaining too much eye contact.

9. Sometimes, flirty gestures aren’t what they seem. Research has shown that men tend to routinely mistake friendly behavior for flirting.

10. Flirting is universal. A woman living in New York City and one in rural Cambodia may not have much in common, but when it comes to attracting a little attention, they both employ the very same move: smiling, arching their eyebrows, then averting their gaze and giggling. Animals flirt, too: Birds, reptiles, and even fish have their own way of strutting their stuff. Moral of the story: If the simple sea bass can act cute to enhance a romantic agenda, you can, too—so give it a go!

Feeling Tired >.<

2008-02-15T20:47:00.001+08:00

I am so tired...
Physically I am ok...
Emotionally I am fine...
but mentally, I am drained...exhausted and "lost"
How long more do I want to continue like this?
What do I want in my life?
What is my goals currently?
How can I progress in my next step?
Should I refine and set up a plan and follow accordingly?
Maybe that is why I am tired... without any directions...
Frustrated with work, with myself, with boss, with family, with many issues
Keep telling my head... Cool down... Stay composed... Be calm...
Aiyo... Count to 10 and wash your face... drink some water/tea/coffee/ice lemon tea
and stop complaining too much... Mr Crazy Guy...
Ok.. I shall not complain too much since I should be thankful
that I am more fortunate and lucky than many others...
Well... one thing is... no matter what happen... I must not fall so easily...
Be mentally strong and face the challenges ahead...
Come on... I can do it... May the power be with me...
Please stop thinking because I do not want to become a N.A.T.O
What is a NATO... lol.. not a japanese word...
it mean No Action Talk Only... lol
A new term I learn from my colleague... will explain more next time
Hooray.. it is weekend tomorrow...
Time to go home and have my dinner...
By the way, I might be talking crap and having CRAZY thoughts
but I am still a perfectly SANE and NORMAL human being.
Cheers =)

2008-02-12T19:41:00.000+08:00

I feel so lost...
without any sense of direction...
what am I doing now?
what do I want now?
Anybody out there can help or give me a hand?
I shouted...scream to my max volume...
Ultimatley, I realised I am alone...
I know this day will come...
What can I do now?
I live on to fight for another day...

OK... the most important now is to
go back home a little happier with a smile on my face everyday...
God Bless =)

Heartless and Cruel?

2008-02-12T12:43:00.000+08:00

It is back to "business" as usual.
First day at work after a long holidays for me...
Everything seem fine except... the time is passing too SLOWLY...
Somemore.. the system I am using is DOWN and cannot login now ... piangz... sianz 1/2
Just now went to vending machine to get a cup of tea...
There was a DPM beside me and suddenly, he smile at me...
There was a strange look on his smile...
He was the one who "fired" and asked one of his subordinate to get lost one year ago.
That subordinate happened to be one of the good colleague I known here.
What a hypocrite fellow he is...
Putting on a smile in front of me... but I just stared at him fiercely,
get my tea and "disappeared into thin air"
The incident suddenly flashed across my mind when I met this colleague (called him A)
last week at the staff shop.
I have a good working relationship with A and all of a sudden
I do not see him in office for a number of weeks. I kept asking myself what happen to him?
And when I known the truth that he was sacked and asked to "get out of the company",
I was like... why must that manager be so heartless and sacked him just like that without
even giving him any notice upfront? I felt so unfair for him. Bloody piece of shxx!

Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that the colleague (called him A)
was being "sacked" and right now he is a project manager himself at another
company. I asked him "how is life going on there?" He replied "not too bad,
at least I am happier than last time" He also shared with me that his company
is expanding and need to hire people. I told him "if got any good lobang, must
recommend to me"... He replied "sure, I'll give you a call" Then we wished each
other a "happy new year" and he left in his car.

Coming to think of it, is it true people who are at the management level
are usually unscrupulous, heartless, ambitious, greedy, cruel and many more bad
adjectives or nouns to describe them... Do people really change for the "worst"
once they have more... getting to higher level and becoming more and more
"evil and cruel" to their subordinate and colleagues just because they want to
achieve their goals and target for the company? I do not know whether will I become
like them one day... if so, then God bless me! I simply cannot bring myself to
"chop and fire people just like that"
Hopefully, this day will never come or happen to me. (being fired by the boss)
because I will definitely "fired the boss first"...

Happiness and Joy

2008-02-11T12:43:00.001+08:00

Just been to my cousin's condo yesterday in the eastern area...
The house was at ground level.. with some beautiful plants outside
It was so lovely and the house was filled with air of happiness and joy
from the moment I stepped inside the place.
The swimming pool was big and

I saw some kids and adults were swimming and playing with the water.

(of course there were no bikini babes (only mummies).. lol)

My 2nd 姑姑, 5th uncle with his wife and their kids arrived there first.
My mum also prepared a big tray of fried rice, bee hoon,
a chocolate butter cake and almond longan desert.
Over at their side, they also ordered KFC, fried tofu (with lots of ingredients) and pizza...
Did I missed anything out? Oh yeah.. still got the drink and agar agar...lol
OMG... i saw all the food.. it was so yummy... wanted to gobble down everything..
haha... the food are making me drooling all over with salivia coming out (almost lah =p)

I went to the one of the room and it was like a little playground...

the kind which I have been dreaming when I was a kid..

The room was like a little heaven for the kids and so "magical" ... haha

How lucky my 2 nephews can have such an environment to live in...

Nowaday kids and children are so lucky and fortunate to have so many things

which I cannot have during my time...

Well, these kind of things cannot be compared and we also cannot choose and

turn back the clock, isn't it... Let move on... =)

Finally, my cousin arrived with her husband and her 2 little darling, babies boys...
Seeing my two nephews (see the two handsome boys in the pictures) for the first time,

I was so excited and delighted...
They are simply so lovely and adorable...
Then after a while more and more relatives came...
my 表哥 with his wife and darling gal, my 3rd uncle and aunt,
followed by my 4th uncle and aunt arriving one by one.
It was so nice to have almost everyone gathering once in a while.
I was playing and taking pictures of the 2 cute nephew and my 2 little 小鬼 cousins...
Luckily, my sister's bf was there and he "suffered the most" being tortured madly
by the 2 little 小鬼 cousins.. I stood down there watching the show happily and taking
pictures .. haha

Soon after, they went for a swim which I didn't take part as usual.. haha

Of course, some of my relatives also asked me many things regarding my work and

personal life. Even though I already expected the questions but somehow, I managed

to brush them aside.. lol...

However, my 姑丈 often advised me to upgrade myself and get my degree... haha

This time round, I told him I will go study maybe in 2 yrs time... and he was like

why must wait 2 years.. haha.. then I told him.. now no motivation lor.. haha

Time to go home soon. (the time read 7.55pm)

I can feel and sense the happiness and joy which I hardly ever felt for so long.
Hopefully, there will be plenty more to come in the coming year.

Guess this is one of the more positive blog I wrote for the year...

Pray that there be more nice and happy things to come... =x

PS: To all the blogger, reader and people out there,
Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2008.

Be healthy, happy and blessed with lot of wealth and joy too.

Be daring to pursue your dreams and goals in life.

Live life to the fullest...
Cheers =)

CNY Eve

2008-02-06T18:27:00.000+08:00

It's just another Lunar (Chinese) New Year to me....

Nothing special or wonderful anymore.... another ordinary day for me....

I am still in the office and don't really feel like going home so early...

Although it is unofficial being declared as half day (after 12pm can go home)

I do not feel excited, happy or very looking forward to 团圆饭.

Maybe I feel frustrated with something....

Trying to figure out why must we have reunion dinner during this time of the year...

Does it mean only can have reunion dinner on this occasion?

The food taste just the same ...isn't it so?

Well... guess I just complaining a lot...

Maybe the atmosphere and feeling does not feel the same anymore...

Cause this world keep changing every day until it make me change as a person too..

Thinking too much and turning into a little evil person by the name

called Devil....

Nvm... the Devil is hungry... which mean

Time to go home for my 团圆饭.

Wishing all of you have a good and wonderful 团圆饭.

Happy Chinese New Year (and collect lot of Ang Bao for those who are still single or little kids)

Let welcome the Year of the Rat (鼠年) together....

Cheers =)

Life & Death

2008-02-05T12:31:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I just went to a colleague father's wake in the afternoon at lunch time...
Suddenly, many thoughts came to my mind.
Why do humans have to suffer before they die?
Why must our loved one die (before us)?
Why we cannot choose the our own "expiry date"?
Lastly, when will be my time come?
haha.. maybe when i become one of the "shinning star"
Lol.. I am not being negative or depressed before the CNY is coming...

But I can feel, understand and sympathise the pain of a patients who have to
gone through so much pain and agony...
The pain of losing your precious and loved one...
The pain of feeling so emptiness and willingness to fight to live for another day..
The pain of not able to help your loved/special one when they are suffering..

Finally... what have I achieved or hope (and want) to achieve before I leave this world?
I know the day will come when somebody above chop a "stamp and I will have to go meet them"
Maybe what I want to achieve hopefully will be done when my time come...
Haha.. too many silly questions running and flashing through my minds....
Anyway, I do not have any answer or I don't even need any answer...
Because they are no longer important to me... at least for now

恶魔在身边

2008-02-03T13:42:00.000+08:00

The sky was grey....
The rain just stopped...
The weather was cooling....
However....
I'm feeling so tired....
Not because of lack of sleep... Perhaps...
Something seem to struggle inside my thoughts and mind....
Why do I feel this way?
I don't know.. I got no answer... I don' have a solution...
Or maybe I simply do not want to care and bother....
I am restless... powerless... helpless.....
but I need to be strong enough to fight on another day....
because there is simply no other alternative for me....
The Devil is here....
