Haven't updated for 4months i guess. Haha. Suddenly thought of this incident while showering. Was thinking about my behaviour towards money, and suddenly something makes me recall alot of unhappy incidents that happened in secondary school..

I rmb my allowances then were abit pathetic. And i have to pay for my own CCA, which takes up quite abit of $. Life was pathetic for me. I save and scrimp like anything. A miser, that's wat some ppl would think of me in sch. Yet u know wat? My parents think i spend too much and keeps nagging at me back @ home. Anyone been through this before? Even up till now? It was damn fucked up seriously. I doubt not many ppl0 understands anyway.

Anyway, somehow i ended up in abit of debts, arnd $10?? My friends were chasing for it, n u know wat? My unsympathetic egoistic father refused to give me that pathetic $10.. I kept delaying and it makes me look freaking bad in school. I think there was 1 night where i cried, then my dad gave me that pathetic $10.. It was really pathetic u know? P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C. Crying for $10. I think i never forget that day, till now.

W/o @, one is really pathetic. I doubt anyone been through that before. But for someone who's been through that, I seriously think that money is very impt to al laspects of life. Not just the material side, but also the emotional side such as pride, ego, satisfaction, generousity, etc.

Thought Of My Day:
Sometimes, enough is not really enough.
Anyway, it's always good to have surpluses isn't it?

Current mood: thoughtful

Life is really like a book.
You never know what you are going to get next until you are at that page.
It's always filled with suspenses and surprises.
Regardless of anything, the story still goes on until the book is over.
One good thing is that the reader have certain control over the story.
However, it is quite minimal.
Just a sad thought that nothing can ever be rewritten.

Though of My Day:
My life, slowly unwinding itself unto me.

I'm beginning to appreciate the beauty of perfection, through chinese chess. How one wrong step, no matter how minor the fault is, can cause one to lose the whole game.. When every judgment can cause you to lose the game.
I relate this to racing. Somehow i got attracted to speed and risk nowadays. Imagine the racer losing focus for a split second while doing a dangerous drift. They risk losing their lifes. Their focus is worth respecting. Same goes for all who seeks for full concentration in performing the most perfect act.

Thought of My Day:
When u perform at your BEST every single time, BEST will just be your average standard in no time.

Simple Plan - Crazy

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look, I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They won't stop till they've reached their dreams

Diet pills, surgery
Photoshopped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's World War III

No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
And money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUVs
While kids are starving in the streets

No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something, something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on?
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Thought: The world has been crazy since duno when...

Current mood: crazy

Reality Check.
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked a young applicant fresh out of Business School,
"So what starting salary are you looking for?"
The applicant said, "Around $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to 20 days of paid leave, full medical and dental, the company matching your retirement fund to 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every two years - say, a red BMW 7 series?"
The applicant sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."


Sweeping Statements.
A young man was hired by a supermarket and reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, then gave him a broom and said,
"Your first job will be to sweep out the store."
"But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied indignantly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I'll show you how."



Time to move into another part of my life. So many things are going to change.. So many.. Hmm.

Current mood: indescribable

Quotes!!!

War doesn't determine who is right, war determines who is left.
– Bertrand Russell

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
-Michael Jordan

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
-David Grayson

You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world & I might be right.
-Charles Barkley

Dance like there's nobody watching
Love like you'll never get hurt
Sing like there's nobody listening
Live like it's heaven on earth
And speak from the heart to be heard.
-William W. Purkey

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Language is the source of misunderstandings.
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: "What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?". They ask: "How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him.
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

If you tell grown-ups, "I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...," they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs." Then they exclaim, "What a pretty house!"
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

"What are you doing here," he asked the drunkard...
"Drinking," replied the drunkard, with a gloomy expression.
"Why are you drinking?" the little prince asked.
"To forget," replied the drunkard.
"To forget what?" inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.
"To forget that I'm ashamed," confessed the drunkard, hanging his head.
"What are you ashamed of?" inquired the little prince, who wanted to help.
"Of drinking!" concluded the drunkard...
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

A game not for the weak hearted.
A game of the strong minded.
A game that you have no control over at all.
A game that you have to play by the rules.
A game where winning and losing is so distinct.
A game where when all odds are against you, and yet you still can win.

This is what makes a game challenging.

Current mood: predatory

Hmm the system says me that i have not been logged in for 15 weeks! Haha.
Just felt like posting some song lyrics to encourage myself on this journey. Lol. Here goes!

倔强
当我和世界不一样那就让我不一样
坚持对我来说就是以刚克刚
我如果对自己妥协如果对自己说谎
即使别人不原谅我也不能原谅
最美的愿望一定最疯狂
我就是我自己的神在我活的地方
我和我最后的倔强握紧双手绝对不放
下一站是不是天堂就算失望不能绝望
我和我骄傲的倔强我在风中大声的唱
这一次为自己疯狂就这一次我和我的倔强

对爱我的人别紧张我的固执很善良
我的手越肮脏眼神越是发光
你不在乎我的过往看到了我的翅膀
你说被火烧过才能出现凤凰
逆风的方向更适合飞翔
我不怕千万人阻挡只怕自己投降



咸鱼
我是一只咸鱼不想承认也不能否认
不要同情我笨又夸我天真还梦想著翻身
咸鱼就算翻身还是只咸鱼输得也诚恳
至少到最后我还有咸鱼不腐烂的自尊
我没有任何天分
我却有梦的天真
我是傻不是蠢
我将会证明用我的一生
我如果有梦有没有错
错过才会更加明白明白坚持是什么
我如果有梦梦要够疯
够疯才能变成英雄
总会有一篇我的传说
我不好也不坏不特别出众我只是敢不同
我的人生就是一错再错错完了再从头
也许放弃掉一些活得更轻松我却不再是我
我不愿一生晒太阳吹风咸鱼也要有梦

Current mood: enthralled

Looking so forward to working life suddenly. Haha.

This is a link that my girlfriend sent me. The performance was superb, the right voice and the right song.

I'd always like the song "Somewhere over the rainbows" during army days. Then from my friends, they told me that it's a lullaby. Brr. How could a lullaby be so meaningful i thought to myself. The song was sad in a way, although the lyrics are full of hope. SO NICE!

Oh did I mentioned I like it so much that I found 4 different versions, sang differently by Eva Cassidy, Judy Garland, Tori Amos, and one annonymous singer. Haha. And the feel of the song sang by the different singers, different styles are so different. But i would still prefer the 6 yr old version. Pure, without music. Juz vocal :)

Thought of My Day:
There are some voices that can touch the Heaven, and there are some that simply doesn't.

I remember that since young, I like the part in the Bible where young Jesus went to the church and stunned most of the priests with his questions. I still like that part even now. It shows how stupid humans were and they are still like this now.

How nice if there is any one who can do that now.. Hmm wait a minute. I think there are a lot of people who is doing that. Whaha.

Thought of My Day:
Some facts are just yet to be proven wrong.

I was thinking back on this charity move that Jurong JC did when I was in J2. We(the whole class) collected newspaper for the whole day from morning till evening, and we raised around $50(figure was estimated as it was too long ago, but it was below $100) i think from the sales of all the papers.

Then I asked my classmates, isn't it better to find a part time job, work a day and give our pay for that day to charity? It will be 30 ppl X arnd $40 (or lesser) which gives us $1000+? I dun think anyone replied me..

In the wine shop that I'm working in, I was suggesting this planning of timetable using the PC instead of paper because it saves alot of time & trouble with cancellations, making sure that no one is left out, & saves the hassle of drawing the table every week. The answer I got was abit retarded. "Coz we have been doing it all along!" & then she continued to draw her table on the table.

Thought of my day:
Why do humans always like to reap half the results using twice the effort?

Current mood: apathetic

I realised from a discussion with my friend about counselling and inspiring, that.. I dun really counsel people. I always try to inspire them. And it works only if the person is very motivated himself to seek for higher grounds. If not all will be deemed as derogation.

Quote of My Day:
When you face the sun, the shadows always fall behind you.
Helen Keller

P.S. I always think that it is a choice, to a certain extent, whether to face the sun or to look at your shadows..

Do you know that...

When the surrounding is hot and yet you feel chilled.


When the whole world is cold and yet you are burning like fire..



When people are studying, playing, having fun; and yet the whole world is spinning to you...




When everyone is busy smsing their friends on their handphones, and yet all you felt was a chill down to your finger bones....







You got a fever just like me! Whahahaha.
