[ A night }

the night is warm and the air is dense.. i'm parked in front of my 17".. with my body exhuasted from the day's toils and challenges. My mind is locked on a constant frequecy.. nothing change, nothing move except my fingers.. the brainy fingers are furiously soucring for the correct words to type that will make any sense out of this post.. it is not easy.. i think you know why.

Today i got a present from sad_mocha.. chill.. yup, and that's really wat i got.. a Chill poster. it picture a youngcubby boy sporting a sunglass, lazing on a beach chair.. looking relax and confident... and there are wordings by the side reading, "Chill, and know that He is God" .. what else can i say.. but i like it very much.. gonna place it in my office.. heheh.. thanx sad_mocha. :) you rock!

the weeks ahead do not look lax, my diary are get more scribbling of events everyday.. but i shall pray to God to carry me through this heretic time and make me stronger at the end of it.. :)

[ Aching legs... stomach... arms... ]

Finally have the chance to rest on Wednesday... wed was supposed to be my free day... but for the past few weds... have been occupied by project or tutorial discussions... sigh... anyway... spent my free day today slacking away on computer games... hehe... I know I should have touch on my tutorials instead... but as u know... hehe... no need to explain further rite?... haha... hey... I exercised today though... did some sit-ups... push-ups... followed by a run around my neighbourhood... the whole session was quite shag... probably due to my increasing mass & lack of exercise... quite shocked by how unfit I have become... hehe... now my poor legs... arms... & legs are aching... sigh... will try to exercise more on my free days... hehe... hmm... Mocha was suggesting to me to buy a guitar that costs around $50... cos I was also thinking of learning how to play the guitar... maybe I should ask Viz for advice...

[ Blur...... ]

Too many projects on hand... too many different project groups... too many tutorial presentations... too many different tutorial groups... making me & most of my NTU friends confused & blur... sometimes even forget which group is for which project... sigh... have decided to start skipping lectures... haha... most of my lectures are so boring & crappy... anyway if I spend my time dozing off during lectures & learning little... might as well sleep at home rite? then I can concentrate more during tutorials which are more important... hahaha... slacker!... this means that I have to start reading my textbooks on my own... hehe... they are still lying somewhere... sealed tight... if time permits & there are no projects or tutorial discussions... some of u may find me mugging at KAP's Mac... hehe... anyone wanna mug with me?

"What factors leads to human beings give in to others?"

A and B are both good friends ...

A was having his breakfast in the pantry and suddenly B rush in to tell A some exciting news. "Hey A, I got some interesting news ... opps...". On seeing A was having his breakfast, B, he said, "Hey A, I tell you later ...".

A: "Wait don't go, tell me!"
B: "No later lar, wait for you to finish your breakfast first"
A: "No! I want to know, since you have started it, you might as well tell me!"

in the end B gave in ...

there are times that A can give in and said something like this "Ok lar, make sure you tell me later ..."

have you all give a thought on this similiar happening around you? what are the factors that human beings consider to give in?

-------Read Below for Comments--------

Lava posted that food for thought and i find it rather interesting.. so i decided to give my two cents worth.. since there's no comment script on his site.

First of all, the situation above can be looked in two perspectives. One is that B relent and tell A what he intended to.. and Second is that A gave in by placing his breakfast aside so that B can tell him what he wants.

Many times we always thought that we are the ones that give in and that is dangerous because our eyes will then fail to see things in other people's point of view. Just because the so call action of giving in to B is not what B would expect doesn;t means that A has not done it. In A's point of view, he might already think that he is accomondating to B as he is willing to put his breakfast "on hold" and let B says what he intended.

Despite the opposite actions and reactions, both A and B are actually displaying a common consideration for each other. Just that both fail to see that consideration in action as both have a personal agenda for what is call a "considerate action".

More often than not, this is the cause of misunderstanding.. now back to the factor that contribute to one who choose to give in. there are 101 reasons for one to do so, sometimes it does not even need a reason, it just comes naturally. But i would say that Understanding is the main key factor.

yup.. that's my two cents worth. :)

[ Everything ]

Just came back from a funeral.. my friend's dad just passed away the night before due to lung cancer.. and the family is still finding strength to let him go.. saw a few old friends and it turn out to be a catching up session with friends, whom one of them i did not see for 9 years ! almost everything change.. she got married aleady!.. happy for her and it occur to me that my age group of people has slowly but surely transit into another stage in life.. our vocabulary changed.. words like marriage, relationships.. jobs.. money. .cars.. start to appear in our daily conversation.. kinda feeling.. weird.. but at the same time excited.. heheh.. the sense of uncertainty thrills me.. hehehe..

Just got my exam results online a few moments ago.. oh well.. ust satisfactory.. no As like i expected... heheh.. just simple B- to tide me through to the end of course.. ONE more module to go and i will complete my long long Advance Dip course.. hahaha.. yeah.. oh yes, i must thank my dear Liz for giving me support through my preparation for examinations.. i know it is hard for you to tune my mood to studies.. hehehe.. thank you.. :)

[ late night ]

lingering in the dark at this hour cant be of any good right?.. hehehe.. yup.. not good for my eyes.. my brain .. and my body.. *crap*.. ok i think i'm not maing sensible statement here.. hehehe..

anyway, this afternoon helped andy to move some sofa to ros house.. and met up with louis, dan, rochelle, guoxiu, wendy, my bro, roy and andy for a quick lunch before i meet up wif my dear Liz, and so.. the rest of the afternoon was parking ourselves at forum and study!.. yup. study. hehehe..

Roy did dropped by for a conversation while Shirley was doing up her nails (manicure).. <--think its spell that way.. watever.. heheh

and now.. i'm heading towards the bed of dreams..

[ Gals only like to shop, sleep & eat...... ???]

Guess tat I will be whacked by many gals after coming out with such a topic... hehe... well... I did not make this conclusion myself but got this trend from my one of my tutorial class... today all of us had to introduce ourselves, including our likes/dislikes... & about half of the gals in my class said that they like to shop, sleep & eat... haha... anyway there's nothing wrong with tat cos most of us like tat too... but just take note of that waistline of urs... haha... *craps*

hmm... my IPPT is coming soon... still thinking of how to escape from it... maybe should follow wat Viz did tat time... hehe... sigh... think its bout time for me to start on a workout program... but had been tied down by school stuffs recently... physically tired... stress level gonna build up soon cos I had bout 10 projects on hand!... not to forget all the tutorials & exams too... sigh... maybe its a wrong choice to take up 2 extra subjects for this semester... but not to worry... I will definitely go through all this shit & come out alive... haha... just wish me luck pple... GAMBETE!

[ a run ]

yes.. my legs are wobbling after my 45 min run.. *ahh.. ehh*.. yup.. believe or not.. i carried my 80kg mass and went for a night jog.. the air was moist and tremenously lack of oxygen.. but i survived.. hehehe..

life still carrys on as usual today.. work and deadlines to meet.. cracking my brain for ideas and working my heart out.. i enjoy every second of my work.. guess i'm lucky.. yup.. dun think a lot of people do really like wat they are doing right?

Many say that if you find a job that you enjoy, you dun have to work at all..it some extend.. i guess it true.. my way of facing everyday's work is to provide myself with challenges.. set deadlines and quota to meet.. brainstorm for the wildest requests and try to resolve it.. ahh.. work can never be finished.. and that is why we have to make it more interesting and lively!.. heheh.. right?

[ Books ]

They say, "Knowledge is Power".. maybe that is why i'm loaded with them now.. books from my studies.. books for sales.. books for self-help.. books for English.. books for investment.. books for computers.. nowadays.. my time is not able to free itself and wander around without aim.. any available time slot will be devoted to books.. subject is not the issue.. but just read.. i read on the bus.. on MRT.. walking.. before i sleep.. after dinner.. almost anywhere and everywhere.. not that i'm well read.. but the very fact that i'm not spur me to read on.. hehehe.. the more you know.. the more you know you dun know.. right?

*looking at the bookshelf*.. mmm?!?.. marketing books.. look tempting.. hehehe.. just wat i need for my work.. i din know that i have such books?.. mmm.. should be my sister's textbooks.. hehehe.. gonna borrow from her.. well after i accomplish the almost impossible task with the current number of books. heheheh..

I think.. despite of the amount of books i'm reading.. nothing thought provoking or sensible comments flow from my post.. i will continue to read and hopefully i can post some points for arguement on post.. someday.. hehe.. till then.. chill.

[ Chances dun come often... once you miss it... you will regret it... ]

Some days ago we were discussing bout waiting for the "right" one to come... wat if the "right" one have come? & there are 2? hehe... dun be mistaken... I am not hinting at anything... dun let your imagination go wild... well... had a chat with a friend on the bus today & were discussing bout relationships... so thought of sharing this sad incident with all of ya... got a friend... lets call him Mr A... hehe... 2 gals liked him... lets call them Ms B & Ms C? haha... Mr A knew both of them liked him... & he liked them too... so he had to make a choice... but he cannot make up his mind & was hesitant for some reason... in the end... Ms B was wooed by another Mr D & was won over... the sad thing was... Mr A had decided to choose Ms B!!!... abit dramatic right? haha... we were wondering why didnt he take the chance when its there... cos he liked her & she like him too... maybe due to this being his very first time & he do not really know how to handle or what he really want? now tat it is gone... he has regretted it... feel abit sorry for him... but nevertheless... he still have Ms C rite? haha... no lah... just joking...

lets all learn from this incident... it is not easy to find a person whom u like & who likes u... when the chance comes... just remember... if u miss it... u will regret it later... so...... hmm... how come I still dun encounter such situations? hahaha.... sigh....

[ The Power of Words ]

Everyday we communicate and more often than not, if not verbally handicapped.. most of us speak to relate message.. speak to express an idea. speak to convince and so on.. for the matter of fact.. little did we realised that verbal speech is the only sense of the 5 senses that is able to conceptualise the world we know and able relate them in a convincing manner..

How well we talk.. how well we link sentences with meaningful and precise words.. and how well we express ourselves is a direct reflection of our intelligence.. though it may not be the only way to guage.. but through speech.. many things can be communicated and preceived.. One can know one's world by the way a person talk and the kind fo words the person use..

for example.. to a person who always say things like, "money is the root of all evil".. "the world is one big lie" .. "everyone is a hypocrite" .. through his/her choice of words.. we can deduced that he/she is not happy with the way his/her life is now.. or he/she may had experienced certain situation that result in such negativity.. the world this person lives in is dark.. unfulfilling and isolated.. if this person choose to conceptualise the world in this way.. his/her world will ALWAYS remain in this way..

Cont' from above...

So, on the other side of the story.. is if one who always say, "Money can do good things" .. "The world is full of hope".. "love is all around".. we know that this is the way this person choose to perceive the world.. and this is the world it will be for this person..

Hence, do not undermine the power of words.. for is it a direct reflection of how you conceptualise the world.. the world we live in is only as wide as the words we can use to describe it.. and how we describe it is how we chose to live in this world..

if you are looking for a change of perspective in life and wish to see hope and love in everywhere you go.. being able to be positive in all situations.. you wish the world would be a better place to be in.. First.. start with ourselves.. our words.. the choice of words we use to construct our daily ideas from the mind through the tongue.. little we realise that with such small change .. we may open up an toally new page of hope in life.

We will be surprise that for everything we want the world to change.. all start from within ourselves.. weird.. but true.

[ Class Rep ]

ohmygosh... I had been appointed today as the class rep for one of my tutorial class... cannot believe my "luck" man... do I have the "hey, choose me" look? haha... think it is due to my honest, studious & hardworking image... hahaha... dun puke fellas... well well... have a few duties on hand to settle... be what a responsible class rep should do... hehe... hmm... come to think of it... how many times have I been entrusted with this extra responsibility throughout my study life? let me count... once in Primary school ... & once in JC for accounting class... hehe... was also appointed a prefect during Primary school too... & treasurer in Sec Sch... haha... dunno why the stupid teachers wanna choose the big slacker here... hehe... well since the "arrow" had been shot at me... better do a good job then... same goes to all class reps or prefects out there... be responsible!

[ Comment Script Up! ]

yes!.. finally the comment script is up and all thanks to Wendy.. heheh..

alright.. today has been rather complete as i've went church early morning.. then off to Clementi Central for a walk with Liz before i depart for school for a make up lesson.. this module is about physcology and other kind of intelligence.. let's hope it will do some good to my brain.. hahahah..

back home after school, my hands have not quiet.. i ironed my week's office wear.. read a chapter of the book, "How to Invest".. hehehe. .went jogging.. played guitar.. had dinner.. ahh.. so many can be done over a weekend.. i'm now excited to start work tomolo.. come to think of it.. it has been a long time i was hit by the Monday blues.. better stick to this way.. hahaha.. anyway.. tomolo will be a new week. and i wish everyone happy weekdays ahead.. :)

May the Lord be with you.. :)

continued from below....

hmm... spent the wee hours of the nite yesterday reading the last chapter of a comic... its bout relationships in love... funny, abit "dirty" & quite interesting.... was quite touched by the sacrifice the main character made for his gf who had pursued an acting career... choosing to leave her so tat she can concentrate fully on realising her dream... giving her the fake reason that he had like another gal while she was busy with her career... & broke her heart without knowing her biggest dream is to actually be with him... he protected her from a psycho even after the breakup & went into a coma... all these without the girl's knowledge... in the end... the gal's undying love for him managed to wake him up & they were together again in the end... as the gal quitted the acting profession to stay with him... well... think this only happens in movies or comics rite? hehe... although touched but I feel it is quite difficult to find these situations happening in real life... humans are selfish when love is concern... if not you will find pple sharing gfs/bfs with one another rite? haha.... just an extreme joke here... but SOME people get jealous easily when their loved ones are with others... they can repeatedly say that they totally trust their counterparts but deep down... there is still tat sense of insecurity that can develop into jealousy... they start to let their minds turn wild & imagine the worse senarios that can possibly happen... VERY FEW pple can confidently trust their gf/bf wholeheartedly... when trust is one of the impt element in keeping a relationship going... haha... so this is one of the obstacles both of them have to conquer in the test of their love for each other.... hehe... okie... enuff of my comments... sayonnara.... yah... forgot to say konnichiwa.... hehe....

[ Sacrificial Love? Nah... Love is selfish]

wow... Viz comments are so long... hehe... some of them may be relevant or irrelevant... depending on the thinking of different individuals & the different situations involved... it is hard to get the whole picture of another person by using your own thinking & philosophy rite? Although we are all humans... we are totally different individuals with different mentality, character, upbringing, perception, education, culture, etc etc... well tats all I want to add on... hehe... but Viz's comments are worth pondering over too... & I shall not give my additional 2 cents worth on this issue if not this will be endless... haha... but its good sometimes to give our own views on certain issues.... to see how different pple think or act in different situations... maybe reflect on them & evaluate our own behaviour too... hey... we learn from one another rite? too bad there are some problems with the commenting on the posts... if not anyone will be able to air their views & it will be more beneficial! Viz... try to get that working again leh...

[ Hai! watashi wa kaishayin des.. ]

dan-san wa, hansenmu dewa arimasen.. sumimasen.. watashi wa hansenmu des! .. hahaha..

it seems the world is filled with the depression of lacking someone special in life to share our sorrows and happiness.. i can't help it but to feel puzzled by the complexity of this issue..

is it really so difficult to find one or are we just waiting for the right one?.. in life.. we often live in our dreams of hope and it causes us to wait for the 'right' one.. the 'right' one with the privilege to know us personally.. the 'right' one that we are willing to open up to.. the 'right' one whom we can call our own.. the 'right' one.. will never come.

If we are going to lay on the italian made sofa and wait for fate to miraculously drop the 'right' one into our arms... our lives will soon be toasted away on that sofa.. In my personal opinion, one who claim to leave their life to the hands of fate, is a reflection of the internal self, refusing to deal the current situation.. passively thinking that fate is an easiler way out. One who leaves life to fate, have no life.. But!.. If One who can walk with faith.. (not fate) .. and act in faith.. is one who realised that knowing the situation is not enough, but the ability to hold on to faith, determined to change the situation.. is a more important and active step to take.

cont' from above ...

we need to realise that having faith in ourselves is a direct opposite of leaving life to fate... as fate doesn't require actions nor provoke thinking.. finding the 'right' one through fate will never work if we do not start from ourselves!.. we have always being asking, "Is this person the right one for me? ", but how many actually ask, "Are we the 'right' one for them??".. when we find someone to share our lives.. we are not just talking about good times.. and bad times but ALL times !.. we normally set high rules in wat and how the person should be.. but are we ready for wat the person's needs may be??.. do we know how to show concern when they are feeling down?.. are we ready to share our love unconditionally??

if we realise that wat we can do for people if more important that wat we expect someone to do for us.. finding the right one will never be more difficult that answering a phone call.. only if we realise that finding the right one actually is about making ourselve the right one.. the whole situation turns around..

So you can choose.. ONE - Continue to warm that sit and by counting the days find the right one.. .or TWO - Start off by reflection ourselves in the image of our requirements on others.. start it in ourselves and start to love instead of yearning for love.. Trust me.. your life will never be the same again.

[ Alone...... ]

Quote: "I think I really need someone to actually care for me, someone to be there for me when I am feeling down and of course there for me when I want to share my joys ... it is not that difficult ... or am I being choosy? I don't think so, just that the girl had not appeared yet ... " Unquote... hmm... read this from Lava's post & thought of putting in here too to describe the similar feeling that I had... hehe... guess tat all singles would feel the same too... esp those who r not getting any younger... haha... in fact... I feel alone & lonely at times... friendship seems to be slowly moving away from me... not to mention love too... sigh... partly due to my own actions & decisions though I guess... well... shall try not to be bothered by these stuffs first... let fate decide for me then... haha... like wat Zoc would say... "When it comes, it will come." Let all the As come to me! haha.....

[ Still on ]

Yes, it is late into the night and i'm still amazing awake.. in fact, i just came back from a good catch up chat with friends like Ros, Roy and Shili.. simple set up at a run down coffee shop.. good friends and lots of topics to juice on.. ah.. it can be heart warming to know that in life, we actually have friends we can relate talk and relate to.. our daily experience to share.. our ideas to debate.. but everything ends on a happy node.. :)

This evening was caught up in the office for a last minute presentation.. wasn't well prepared and i was almost stammering when i present my powerpoint slides in front of the senior management.. thank God that the management was positive in giving me good advices that i would definitely reflect upon myself to improve further.. :)

And now, my right ear is listening to ChannelNewAsia with my PC burning VCDs away.. and my notebook typing this post.. miserably multi-tasking.. hahaha.. today will be another long day ahead.. probably spend time with Liz whom i tremenously missed and continue to work hard on a sales program which i have to present (once again) in the coming week...

The news is about terrorist again.. from the deepest sincerity of my heart.. i pray that all violence will ease.. the poor, suffered and desvastated will soon find love and peace.. and the Love of GOD touches everyone..

[ Down that long road... & down the memory lane ]

walking down that long road leading from the army camp entrance to the bus stop... memories kept flashing by my mind... kinda got abit emotional... thinking bout the good & bad times tat I had when I was serving NS in this camp... the army mates that gone through thick & thin together... the officers whom we report to... hmm... dunno whether Viz had that sense of dejavu when he walked tat particular stretch of long road that I mentioned during his reservist.... hehe... hey... my previous camp had shifted to a brand new & huge building... wow... kinda surprised by the massive change... so great tat I almost couldnt find my way around... hehe... well... the briefing today was bout mobilisation... sigh... gonna be on recall manning for a week in March... & yah... my IPPT is coming... on Feb 1st... sigh... have to start exercising... hehe... went to pay my officers a visit after the briefing & guess wat was the first thing they said when they saw me?

[ Long time ]

it has been a long time i suppose since the last time i posted. I guess my work really caught up with me.. heheh.. somehow, ever since new year.. my work load seems to increase exponentially.. just got myself a new notebook supposrted by my company.. and well, i guess everything comes with a price.. new notebook=more work and work beyond office hours.. to prove that point.. i just fax a quotation to a potential client off my notebook.. *sigh*.. heheh.. just hope it is for the better of my career..

My studies.. mmm.. called yesterday to confirm my registration of my final module of the course. yeah!.. hahaha.. upon clearing this module.. i will be temporarily distant myself from the books.. and concentrate more on my career essentials.. pray for me and my studies k?.. heheh.. :)

And later today will be gearing myself up for some nice work out which my body desparately need.. specially the signs of 'prosperity' accumlating wealth around my waist region.. guess one of my new year's resolution should be slimming down to a healthy weight and contour.. hehehe..

With all the above.. i wish everyone a very good weekend and Liz.. i love you.. tomolo exercise with me.. dun hide!.. hehehe

"Happy New Year to All."

[ Indeed, Happy New Year Everyone ]

Last day of year 2001 i'd chose to spend with my dearest Liz. Our daily lives were always caught up with a lot of distractions that result us in little time together.. so this year.. we decided that we should see each other to the next year.. hehehe

the day started off with dinner at Liang Court which both of us decide to walk from Raffles Places MRT, through Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and finally Liang Court... it was about 8pm in the evening as we emerged underground from Raffles Place MRT.. the wind from Singapore River kissed us and refreshed us as we started off a wonderous night..

Boat Quay, a food and clubbing paradise.. it was beautifully litted with amazing combination of colors.. red, blue, yellow, green... all was glittering like blazing stars by the dimly litted river.. tug boats glided arcoss the river and the ribbles seems to be singing along with the dancing lights from the shore in one harmonious hymn.. as we walked along, waiters and waitresses were desperately in effort to 'con' us to their dinner set.. unmoved by them as we have plans ahead.. we brushed them off with a smile.. :) heheh.. as we walked further.. we noticed that the pubs and discos were also furiously in the preparation for the large new year countdown crowd.. already.. there were some early birds drinking..

We passed through underpasses.. reached Clarke Quay.. again.. there was an abundant of food.. music are the beat of New year drew closer ad louder.. the place seems gonna transform into a big dancing ground anytime.. the dazzling signs boards from the restaurant and clubs illumined the busy street and expose the faces of new year enthusiasm on everyone..

Finally, with the long walkur stomachs were leaking signs of impatience and my mind started to demand for food.. hehehe.. after much searching and evaluating.. which we were only a step from drawing a Cost and Benefit chart on paper.. we settled on "Rainforest Resturant".. it is a theme restaurant with a magnificent decoration that is capable of making you feel Africa. from the animals pictured table tops.. to moving 'animals'.. flickering lights (lightning) .. and ranger look alike waiters and waitresses.. you can tell a lot about the determination to maintain the restaurant culture and image.. we ordered, appetizer, 2 entries and mineral water.. it may seems cheap skate.. but allow me to warn you.. the quality of food in the appetizer alone is sufficient to feed an elephant!.. ok.. i'm exaggerating.. heheh... but think you get my drift.. after the entries.. we felt like an overfed tiger.. hence, we decided to waste the new found energy source by strolling along Mohd Sultan Rd before making way to Boat Quay for our new year countdown..

We were along UOB sidewalk.. and there were already huge crowd gaining ground.. nonetheless, we found a perfect spot facing the River.. expecting to see some fireworks.. time was 15mins to 2002.. and we began furiously sms-ing wishings to friends while keeping a look out to the minute hand..

Everyone was excited, and the atmosphere was evidently lingering with the new year's spirit .. However, the countdown was miserably coordinated.. probably due to the disperse crowd.. but we still managed to witness the minute hand past 12.. and stepping into the year 2002.. there were lots of monkey shouts and screaming.. crowd from pubs were shouting and pounding to the beat of new year.. the stretch of Singapore River turn chaotic with crazy ribbon sprays and blazing sticks for at least the next 30 min.. To our disappointment.. there was no display of fireworks.. nonetheless, we thank God for the new year and that we were able to spend it together..

The rest of the night, we spend fruitfully chatting and walking..

The new year bring about new hope.. and may your New Year be peaceful and loving.. ;) God Bless !
