I am a happy boy

2009-10-18T23:20:00.003+08:00

5 minutes ago, my dearest father said this to me.
"Whatever work you do, most important is to be happy."

I am soooooo glad that I have his support in my decision.
Thank you dad!

Your sense of humour can be another man's poison.
My good friend tried to poison me with his words today. Lucky for me, I always carry my antidote with me, which is my ignorance plus a dash of patience.

Readers out there, might not be able to understand what rubbish I am blarbbeerring about.. For me, I just want to write it down to remember his silly poison..

To end the day,

Let me say,
HAHA

Indeed, what a joke...

Beautiful song in a nice local production.

How I want it to be

2009-09-08T06:02:00.008+08:00

I guess in general, people enjoy doing things hoping to portray an image of what others seems appropriate in their mind. A simple funeral event proves it all. IF my father were to pass away, I MIGHT not cry, but it doesn't mean that I am not sad. I am quite against the idea of doing meaningless things just to show people what they want to see. Spare me the torture. Please.

To me, Death is a reality that's a part of life, but unfortunately most of the people lives in denial. When the time comes, you have to move on. Be it your own self lying in the coffin, or your love ones. Drop a tear or 2, and let's move on. Who's the next one that's going to lie in there?
A 2 seconds calculation by me, on average, we are given around 40 years to prepare for our death. We know we are going to die one day, and if you may want, start preparing now.

I always told my sister that when the day comes for me to go, just let me go. She may drop a few tears, but I really won't want her to scream and cry loudly, like in the movies or so.
Speaking of this, why not I arrange my funeral?

Make my Chinese customary funeral 3 days, 5 days is too much, and very tiring for my family. My guest would be able to wear anything, any colour they want. The usual see through thin white t-shirt is very much excuse. If the Sai Kong says must wear socks only, ignore him. Nike shoes are welcome. Don't give yourself headache as to what type of food to buy for offerings. I am really very easy with food. Macdonald's is fine, and please do upsize it.
If you want to play mahjong, play near my coffin because I want to see. The golden rule, shooter punch hor.
If you are keen for 4D, forget about looking elsewhere. IF I could, I say IF... just buy my last 4 digits of my i/c number. Let me tell you, there's way too many numbers to be found in a funeral. The license plate of the usual Mercedes, the apartments, the stacks of receipts etc.. it's too troublesome. And if you strike, please kindly contribute 10% of your earnings to my family.
Start burning some stuffs to me. I already request for a paper watch box from my sister. Let me tell you sis, it's gonna be a real challenge to find a ah pek to make this. He will definitely goes, Huh?
The rest of the items are pretty standard. Mahjong set, Computer and laptops(don't forget the broadband modem!), maybe a set of golf clubs also. I foresee that in the next 5 years I will not die yet, and will pick up that hobby. If you would like, you can also burn me a paper billiard table.
Speaking about burning all these stuffs makes me truly excited. Heh..
My dearest sister ask me today, what will happen to your beloved watches when you die? Good question. I would like to mention it here. If I have children, please give them 1 each. Give 2 to Zyon and Rachel. One to keep for their next generation. If I found out they sold them away, don't worry. I am good with giving people nightmares. NEVER EVER SELL MY WATCH WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. The rest of the watch, please give to my closest friend at that time. Derrick will have the honor to pick first. Don't be so blur as to burn it for me. They may be converted into papers by the time I receive them. I am just thinking of the reversal process.

What I really hope for my family when I am gone, is for them to be happy. Continue to live your life as per normal, eat healthily and enjoy your life to the fullest. Take good care of yourself and love one another. Like I mention, you may drop a tear or 2(that's the max), but please move on okay?

Last but not least,
If you think that when I am gone, and you believe that I am watching you.. Nonsensical thoughts you have.
I am, and will be enjoying my life in another world.

Racial Harmony

2009-08-08T06:28:00.006+08:00

Malaysia petroleum company, Petronas Group, always make interesting commercial during major public holidays. These following commercials make good use of the innocence in a child to convey the messages to the world. Effective, cute, and it sure leaves a deep impression in me.

That grin on the boy's face,
Priceless.

Let's respect all races and religion, and live in harmony.
It's Singapore National Day tomorrow.
Happy Birthday!

Do you remember these?

"Look! Now showing power ranger lehhhh", My nephew scream...

Hmmm...
Flashback to the 80s when I was growing up, I was a cartoon addict.. without fail I will watch cartoons on channel 5, every weekday at 5.30pm...
Memories and more...
Bravestar, Centurians, Captain planet, He-man Mask, Transformers... All these are classic!

Did a search on youtube, and I found them all! I must say, the theme song for MASK is the most memorable... The part where the systems allocated the appropriate candidate for the mission is a real classic... Another one of my favourite cartoon back then was "Centurions". 3 Good guy dress in Green, Blue and Yellow with the ability to strap on different equipments to fight the baddies.. I used to own 1 of that yellow guy... who specialise in urban warfare.. and I got the bravestar horse also.. Strange, how come I get the pet instead of the lead role for the toy leh?

Here are some of the clips for the boys growing up in the 80s..
Enjoy..

Centurions

Bravestar

He-Man

MASK

I need that beeping watch...
Wait a min...
I know why I become a Watch Idiot Savant now...

Classic, isn't it?
Haha...

Just do it

2009-06-29T01:29:00.004+08:00

A mere 3 hours of sleep, and yet I am not feeling tired. I woke up at 0100hrs knowing that I need to pen down my current thoughts, eagerly.

It is just the fourth chapter into Richard Branson's "Screw it, Just do it", I realise that I used to be somehow or rather, one way or another behaving like him.
His whole heartly screw it, just do it attitude. For the past 3 years, I have been progressively losing touch with that "Just do it" attitude.
And now, I have lost them all.

I was a motivated V6 engine young man then, with such great curiosity, that will always end up with problems. To me, problem solving was part of the little test that I love. It's a mind stimulating game that keeps me thinking. I love to try different things, loves to read and gather information, out partying and getting to know more new people.

Now, I approach things now in a skeptical manner, questioning myself with endless WHY. At the end of the day, what comes to my mind, would probably be the same at the beginning of the day. The same useless "It will never work attitude". He have successfully changed to become a very 'safe' person.

What started it all, is my earning power. There's a huge major pay jump from my previous job to my current. Fast forward a year later, I bought plenty of stuffs for my family and myself. I start to get very comfortable, and LAZY. On my day off from work,(which I have a hell lot of offs) I will wake up in the middle of the day aimlessly. Walking around my house like a dying old man looking for food and water, I felt like a potential amnesia victim. Wondering around uselessly around the house with no ideas in mind. At the end of the day, I know that a huge paycheck would be awaiting in my trusty bank. So, why worry?
Multiply it by 3 years, or 1095 days. It clearly have become a habit.
The good old saying, I have reached my comfort zone, and have stop thinking.

If you manage to kick a habit for a while and then you pick it up again, the effect will be greater than before. You will fall deeper into it, and harder to get out.

Andy, lets get things moving.
I wanted to get his book 2 years ago, and until recently then I pick it up. What a shame. Nevertheless, better be late than never. Recent years, my books reading habit slow and almost comes to a complete halt. As fate would suggest, I did a simple survey and got rewarded with a $20 borders gift card. No prize for guessing which titles I've bought. Now, I am very much into reading again. And at a speed that I have never thought I possibly can.

I won't say that I am as motivated as before in my younger days, but now I have already kick start this old rotten V6 engine of mine. It's rather cranky at times, but the right mechanic would be able to fix it effortlessly. This, I promise.
First up, would be ADVENTURES, something that would spice up my life and keeps me moving....

;)

What's behind you?

2009-05-24T12:43:00.005+08:00

Perhaps I have been moving too fast previously. Lots of things are actually out there for me to understand and appreciate.
I missed it, simply because I have walked too fast previously.

I understand why I needs to slow down and look behind now.
Each time I turned back, I am observing from a third person point of view.
Naturally, things turn out clearer.

A Different Announcement

Decision Making

2009-05-02T03:14:00.002+08:00

In our lifetime, we make countless decisions.
Decision making might be a breeze for some to carry out, might not be for others.
I am always a very decisive person.
But that is what I thought.

Firstly is the initial factor,
next come the imagination factor that will lead to one scenario after another.
Wild and unimagined thoughts will run around in your brain.

After these tiring process,
will be the outcome.

Making important decision is harder than I thought.
A sad truth is that, this eventually will come.
It eventually will.

A harsh reality knockout on me.
I have just made a very important decision in my life.

No light bulb ?

The only book that freaks me out

2009-03-20T03:56:00.005+08:00

I love books.
Visiting bookstores to read books is always a joy to me.
But there's always 1 book that freaks me out whenever I see it.

My Bank Book.

The 70s in Andy

2009-03-15T03:49:00.004+08:00

Let's talk about the 70s, right here in Singapore.
My imagination always brings me to the 70s, where everything is so much happier than in this millenniumery era.

Let's talk about the dressing shall we?
Picture the guys in tight fitting flora shirts with tailor made bell bottom pants. Walking around the streets holding a Pepsi Cola glass bottle, ogling at the ladies with oversize sunshades.
The ladies as usual, pretty in flora, with bright colours to attract the attention from a mile away.
I always like this trend.

In that era, couples are happy with just a trusty bicycle. In this era, If you got a bicycle, your significant other will ask you to jiak sai. We crack our brains and cough up money to maintain the car. COE, ERP, Insurance ..I sneeze and sneeze...
What's wrong with bicycle?

Those days, as long as you are hardworking, you will be rich.
Chow Yuan Fatt once said this to Andy Lau when young Andy just got into the entertainment industry.
Pointing to his Rolex, He said, "Hard work, and you can get anything you want"
Hmmm... Makes sense, simple logic.
But to think about it again, it is not that applicable in this modern era, isn't it?
Taxi Uncle once told me he made $30000 in one single business trip in the 80s.
Now, he just look at his meter, and is contented as long as the meter is working fine by a jump of 20cents.
"Ah di ah, nowadays is different liao.. As long as you don't owe anyone money, you should be glad liao..."
Hmm.. worth a thought... worth a thought..

Right,
Let's go back to the 70s, and why I like to imagine I am in that zone.
I like the music, the oldies Ah go-go music. Light and chirpy, and they are often a 2min song thing. Doesn't make you bore easily huh..

Photo taken from tofu magazine

I like the fact that in that era, people work hard and earn peanuts, and they feed their children peanuts, and the kids are happy with the peanuts given.
These days, you earn peanuts, but you have to fork out money to feed your children Macdonalds.
AND, they might not be happy. Because 1 might prefer KFC, the other might prefer Pizza hut.
Ouch.

In that era, I guess the kids goes to school with very little things.
1 pencil and 1 piece of paper, and a book should be enough.
These days,
Err... I am not very sure what kids brings to school these days.
Maybe Guns?

The education system is ahead by 5 steps in this urbanisation cycle.
Those days, I think it should be a 1 step at a time thing.
P is for Peanuts then,
Now P is for pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisand.
Don't ask me what is that, I have no freaking idea.. but this is what they learn in school now, isn't it?

To buy a house in those days, it cost you around $8000.. Somewhere around Queenstown I believe. Perhaps even better, you can build your own Terrace. Some planks and nails and magically, a shelter is yours. A few chicken and ducks provide you with the necessary eggs and meat. Pink and Rosy Pigs for their wonderful profits they will bring.
Beautiful, Peaceful, I like...
These days, $8000 can fix your 2 toilets in your house.
and Pigs should be kept strictly in your refrigerator.

On a serious note,
Sometimes I really wish I can go back to the 70s.
To look at my Entire family from a 3rd person point of view,
Wondering did my grandmother scold her children(Because she is always so soft spoken!)..
Wondering is my grandfather is really a amazing Qigong Master like what my auntie says...
Wondering if my mum is really that vain.. and SLIM!
Witness the birth of my all my cousins...
To help me remember my grandparents house in tampines.. I still love their old house yah.. The tiles are marble, with a big carpet in the center of the living room...

Enough of the 70s,
Let's go back to reality then.
Reality = sleep

Goodnight~

Random Love

2009-03-08T16:56:00.002+08:00

Some random thoughts AGAIN.

Love does not always result in happiness, because human confuse love for other matters in life.
Like greed, companionship, possessiveness, flaunt.. etc

Some in life mistake companionship with love, which is a tragic.
Some hold on to the other half, simply because they have spent ageless time together.
Some like the idea of keeping a pretty little vase so that they can be the envy of others.
Some believe that keeping your partner close to you 24hours/7days is love.

So which category do you belong in?
Sometimes,
we have to let go.

But then again,
Everyone perception of love is so different.
If true enough you believe Love is eg, companionship..
So be it.
Your call.

My perception of love?
Simple.
Happiness = Love
When I am happy, I am in love.

A sad Andy orders his favourite cup of coffee in a local coffeeshop.
He becomes very happy.
He's bloody in Love.

Well, I just fall in Love again last night.

Mimic

2009-03-05T04:43:00.004+08:00

I speak full blown authentic Singlish.

But sometimes,
When I talk to a Caucasian, I tend to speak like them.
"ya know, sometimes things just gonna stay this way. Ya know..ya know.."

When I talk to someone from Bangladesh,
"Eh no no put your things here, put there. Many many ants biting"

When I talk to my Singaporean friends,
"Wah piang, this one hor.. he hor... lydat lor... "

This is called,
Mimicking.

Do you fall under this category?

Just admit it LAH. You are under this category. Ever thought what's wrong with that? Something is very wrong.
But still, you and me, and the majority of the locals behave this way.

Since last year, I told myself to improve in my English, but using Singaporean slang local English to converse with anyone, everyone.
Er...
It's obviously not improving.
Dunno why leh...

An Ad that sparks some thoughts

2009-02-20T01:10:00.004+08:00

Something, that will never ever happen to my rushing/pushing fast-paced country.
which is, a sad thing.

Even if this happen be it in the station or inside the train, I am sure alot of people will stand aside and mind their own business. Furiously pressing the numbers on the handphone to sms someone, or abusing their psp by pushing the buttons furiously, or the infamous sleeping act where they would innocently ignore the "Please give up this seat to someone who needs it more than you do" signboard.
Perhaps someone might be reading a "7 habits of highly, effectively "chopping" a seat with a pack of tissue paper in food centre" and ignore the whole scene.

Ahh...
I have just reveal my true colours because I am one of them.
Because I am complaining.

Mambo Jambo

2009-01-06T17:21:00.002+08:00

Was youtubing randomly and I found this...

Which greatly inspire me to pen it down before laziness kicks in..

The last time I stepped into a club was... last January. It was O bar, at Mohd Sultan. The moment I went in, I was determined to get my butt out within the next minute. I wouldn't have go in the first place if not for a birthday celebrating of a very good buddy of mine.
My dear friends who decide to celebrate their birthday in a club, please count me out. Andy just can't fit into that scene anymore.

Flashback to the first time I went to a club, was at Boat Quay. That place close down long ago before bubbletea exists. I still remember very clearly, it's called "The Buzz". (If you happened to know where it is, Congrats. You are in the same aging era as me.)
Favourite song then was, "Close to you" by fun factory... that tune still rings in my head now!
That was 9 years back, I was 17 then. That night was fun, happy, drowsy and quite smelly. That moment, everything my elder sister told me about, came to life. My sister just had so much fun clubbing, bringing back the smelly cigarette stench ALMOST every other night.
For a boy at that age, it just seems not right.. until, I start going to one..

I do club ever since then on a on and off basis, and Zouk mambo night was my favourite. The mambo moves, the Long Island Tea, the company I got. I enjoyed 200% of all the hours spent in that smokey enviroment watching the Synchronise Dance move..

It all came naturally. When the time to stop partying, I stop... and my hangouts at night these days are my trusty coffeeshop. They have the best and most affordable beer in Singapore. No cover charge is imposed, and the snacks are great. GST and Service charges are absorb. No matter how late you go, seats and table are readily available. No more squeezing your jugs of designer drainwater on a ledge, and end up drinking from other patrons.
Oh, and a good news for the ladies. You won't have to queue up for the restroom!

Alas,
Time for a classic SYNCHRONISE mambo jambo dancing clip. Enjoy!

For now, I would prefer this instead, in a kopi tiam.

Cheers~

Death

2008-09-05T02:08:00.003+08:00

What do you think of death?
A saying from my buddy,
Those who have everything are afraid of death.
Those who have nothing are not.
Or the other way round..?

Those who have everything have seen it all, own it all. He have live his life to the fullest and got no regrets. He is free to go...
Those who have not achieve anything and there are millions of wish he have yet to fulfill.. He can't leave yet..
Nah, a random thought..

The day you are born, is a moment closer to death.
and when the time has come,
accept it.

I believe it's another start of a new beginning to die.
Death might be the birth of another new era for them.
Keyword: MIGHT. (don't flame me)

We hear people saying, "lucky I never die ah..."
Perhaps, it should be the opposite yeah?

If my love ones have to leave, I will miss them.
I will tear and cry.
What else can I do?
After that moment is over,
I guess I will go back to my usual lifestyle..

Life goes on my friend.
Really,
as simple as it sound,
Life Really have to go on..

Jiayou. :)

A nice forum

2008-07-22T19:09:00.005+08:00

Someone wrote this and I find it very true. You may laugh, but it's exactly what some people are facing now.

Yup, a white Christmas in Paris, but so what when you are alone in the hotel room?

So You Wanna To be a Cabin Crew?

Go to a resale store and find an old, navy suit that an army sergeant might have worn. Add a white shirt and a tie. Wear that same outfit for three consecutive days.

Go to an airport and watch airplanes take off for several hours. Pretend you are standing by for them and they are all full. Go home. Return to the airport the very next day and do the same thing again.

Fill several large boxes with rocks. Lift them over your head and place them on the top shelf of a closet. Slam the door shut until the boxes fit. Do this until you feel a disc slip in your back.

Turn on a radio. Be sure to set it between stations so there is plenty of static. Turn on the vacuum cleaner and garbage disposal. Run them all night.

Remove the covers from several T.V entrees. Place them in a hot oven. Leave the food in the oven until it's completely dried out. Remove the hot trays with your bare hands. Serve to your family. Don't include anything for yourself. Serve your family a beverage one hour after they've received their meal. Make them remain in their seats during this time.

Ask them to scream at you and complain about the service. Scrounge uneaten rolls off the plates for you to eat 6 hours later when you're really hungry. Place a straight-backed chair in a closet facing a blank wall. Use a belt to strap yourself into it. Eat the rolls you saved from your family's meal.

Ask your family to use the bathroom as frequently as possible. Tell them to remove their shoes and socks before entering, and see who can make the most disgusting mess. Clean the bathroom every hour throughout the night.

Make a narrow aisle between several dining room chairs and randomly scatter your husband's runners and loafers along the way. Turn off the lights and spend the night walking up and down the aisle while banging your shins against the chair legs and tripping over the shoes. Drink several cups of cold coffee to keep yourself awake.

Gently wake your family in the morning and serve them a muffin in a package. Don't forget to smile and wish them a nice day when they leave for work and school.

After the family leaves, take a suitcase and go out into the yard. If it's not raining, turn on the sprinkler system and stand in the cold for 30 minutes pretending like your waiting for the crew bus to pick you up. Then go inside and wait by your bedroom door for another 30 minutes for an imaginary maid to make up your room.

Change into street clothes and shop for 5 hours. Pick up carry-out food from a local deli. Go back home. Sit on your bed and eat your meal. Set your alarm clock for 03:00 am so you'll be ready in case you don't get your wake up call. Repeat the above schedule for three days in a row and you'll be ready to work your first international flight.

Silence

2008-07-22T02:27:00.005+08:00

A breezy and quiet night.
LOVELY.

Silence in the room, having all the time to myself doing things that I want...
Just a very quiet place..
Oh So Lovely.

I dislike going to crowded places...
Somehow, I can't think when I am there...
Yes, I CAN'T THINK properly...

My room is in a mess right now and I am loving it.
My laundry is still in the washing machine after 24hours,
and I am loving it.

Nobody no one nothing to nag at me.
Just silence.

Perhaps that's the reason why I always slept late...
6am... 7am ...
that's when the shops below my block open for business...
and the auntie start screaming "Kopi Kao Siew Dai"
and..
That's when I go to bed...

ahh... craps again...

It is your perception.

A fiery red Ferrari F360 just roar pass...

Dick says "Rubbish! It's not expensive, it's just that you can't afford to buy. "

Yup, it's never expensive.

Circles

2008-06-26T05:33:00.003+08:00

There is a circle around me.
Beyond that circle, there is another circle surrounding it... an even bigger one...
Beyond that bigger circle, there is another bigger circle..

My aim, is to colour the circle, from inside out.. eventually I will finish it with one big coloured circle.

My first circle, please wait for me. I am holding up my crayon now.

A Gentle Reminder

2008-04-29T03:31:00.004+08:00

How would you feel that if your manager abuse his/her authority to reprimand you.
Would you like it?

Subconsciously a number of parents are doing that.
Parents unknowingly abuse their authority as a parent to control a child.

Trying to deny it?
Come on ...
When is the last time you said this to your child.
"NO! Because I SAY SO!"

Ring a bell?
Yup yup..
Time to reflect...

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
-Bruce Lee

I need my own business

2008-04-22T01:50:00.004+08:00

The thought of working tomorrow... just turn me off ... big time ...
That's it ..

October is the month...
That's my FINAL answer.

No more.

Birthday

2008-04-21T23:19:00.003+08:00

My dear nephew birthday was 2 weeks ago..
and I know it through my sister's blog..
Hmm..

As usual, if I were to say this to my sister, " hey, its zyon birthday har ?"
then she will gladly reply, "yah... you always cannot remember de lah"
Hmm....

it took me roughly 23 years to remember my own sister's birthday..
26 May 19XX..

It's this birthday thingy that is bugging me..
Birthday celebration is just so ancient to me now. I just can't seems to bring myself to help celebrate my friends or my own birthday.. I dun value my own birthday, I really just see it as JUST ANOTHER DAY. I don't need birthday sms, and all the more I don't need presents..
It's unexplainable...
Every happy day, is my birthday..
Yup, I got to agree that it's one of the world's noble mummy's day as well.. cuz without their screaming and pushing.. we won't be here huh.. ?

When I was younger, my sister and I would buy some little presents for my dad... and EVERYTIME he will say..
"BUY FOR WHAT ?! "
I was angry with him during that era..
But now I understand what he is feeling..
Big time..

Not saying that just because I don't celebrate my own birthday, I can use this as an excuse not to celebrate others... it's just that I don't remember the DATES..so I can't celebrate..
opps ..
Excuses...

My dear family and friends...
Those who know me should know...
I love each and everyone of you..
by not smsing or wishing you,
it doesn't mean I don't care about you ..
I still do!

Oh btw,
Happy Birthday Ah Beng..
There's such thing called Friendster birthday reminder..
hiak hiak hiak ..

And lastly,
a little message for my sister..
Could you ... er...er.r.... help Zyon and Rachel to set up Friendster account?
LOL ...

Arr chooo...

2008-03-22T01:04:00.002+08:00

Bits of here and there..

Gay buddy watch a seminar by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates on television.
One of the question asked by the crowd is,
"What advice do you have for the younger generation in order to be successful? "

Love what you are doing, and start young.
Everyday when you are awake, you will feel excited about going to work.
The passion and drive will bring you success.

So true yah?
Imagine I found something I liked, and looking forward about going to work...
Just imagine......
Life would be so wonderful LOR!

So, what about you?

I am slightly worse though.. I wake up dreading of going to work THE NEXT DAY.

This morning when I was awake, the first thing that comes to my mind is...
"I AM WORKING TOMORROW"
and that really turns me off...
Big time...

************************************************

Just came back from Ho Chi Ming City this evening..stayed there for 5 days and I learned quite a bit..Learned to control my temper... Learned to divert my attention... just keep learning..
Observing my families behavior and learning from them...
One of them that is worth mentioning, is my Dad..
I see my dad in a very different perspective now.. how "ANYTHING" he is, how oh-so-easy going he is.. beginning to like him more.. and I really appreciate him even more...
Perhaps it is his easy going attitude, that I never see him flare up..
Honestly, the only time I remembered when he throw his temper at me and my sister... was 17 years ago..
I was 9 years old...
And, THAT is the last time...
I really need to learn from him...
He's my humble and brilliant dad..
Love you dad..!

I am still in search of ideas..
Still searching..

The more I probe myself, the more I get agitated..
I know that something must be done, and when I question myself.. I get a big slap on my face...
This kind of feeling really sucks...

Tell me .. tell me...

Stop this nonsense...
Please stop it...

This time round,

My little note book.

2007-11-21T00:40:00.000+08:00

My creativity juice overflow when I am taking the train alone..
It's a pity that I do not have a notebook with me, otherwise I would have pen it down..
I use to carry a yellow notebook with me most of the time.. recording down things that trigger my mind.. even to the smallest incident that I think of, or I encounter..

Such practice no long exists..
Maybe it should make a comeback?

I flipped through my little yellow note book the other day...
and memories just flows..
Just like how Juliet past video records..
but mine is cheaper.. its just a notebook ..
haha..

We'll see..
Love you guys,
Goodnight =)

Someone

2007-11-02T10:37:00.000+08:00

When I open my eyes this morning...
I just thought of someone...
Looking up at the ceiling..
Her image begin to form right in front of me...
It was so vivid...

During my growing up years as a teenage,
I was busy working..
Friends around me knows that I am a workaholic..
To others, it may seem to be 'just another part time job'..
but to me, I had a different view back then..
They are work experiences to me.
and I know that they will be a valuable asset for me in the future.
My daily lifestyle was School, followed by work..
On certain days, I skipped school just to work...
I treat my home like a hotel.
Check in and out as and when I feel like to...
Unknowingly, I left one of the most important emotional factor at home.
I made her worried...

My mum used to call me and ask about my whereabout.. and to a growing up teen, this has put me into embarrassments. The kind of stupid peer pressure that one would face when out with friends. The numerous number of missed calls, the constant screaming in the phone telling me to go home asap..
I hate it..

But now,
I miss that kind of feeling of someone telling me to go home...
Someone telling me that she have cooked my dinner...
Someone telling me that I am the one she love the most..

***

Yesterday morning while waiting for the bus,
I saw a familiar face...
someone that is supposingly to be very close with me...
He was walking slowly,
with his head slightly tilt down..
His accumulating wrinkles adds up to form a depressing look...
He aged...

My dad used to be a really happy go lucky person..
Always looking at things on the bright side...
He got a "nothing can beat me kinda attitude"
But looking at him yesterday.. I know that he's have long past that stage...
It's been 5 years since tragedy struck...
Sometimes...
I am wondering if he is taking on things just like me now..

Mum.. I miss you so much...
Sometimes I am just a little boy out there, crying out loud for you to hug me..
I just want to hug you..
Just once will be enough..
Mum.. just once...
I regretted all my actions..
I hate myself for not answering your calls back then....
I hate myself for not coming back home for dinner ..
I promise I will come back home everyday and accompany you...
I can quit my job and be with you...
In fact I can give up everything you know?
I miss your cooking do you know that?
I want to tell you I am doing well, and can provide you with anything you want now..
I want to tell you how are things in my life now...and what are my plans for the future..
I want to hug you so badly now do you know that?
Afterall..
I am still a child..
A child that want to say..
"Mummy I love you"

I made a promise not to cry anymore ever since u left us..
Its been 5 years...
Unfortunately,
I just broke that promise...

Running in my mind

2007-10-30T19:39:00.000+08:00

The one thing running in my mind now is to find another source of income...
and trust me on that ...
I am thinking hard...

And...

I am enjoying every single bit of this period..
because this shows that the old Andy is back..
Its been so long since I last felt like this...
Useless is the word to describe me for the past few months..

Alrighty..

First thing first,
Savings...

Andy is working hard on that ..
Lets just wait till end of this year..
and I will bring back the results...

Watch This space .. too !

2007-10-26T01:31:00.000+08:00

Please watch this space...
Give it a week or 2...
There will be a picture over here..
Either he will still be a 人
Or
he will become a 神 ...

Thy truth shall be reveal soon...

A story I always remember

2007-10-25T01:14:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time,
there was a butcher and a saint living next to each other...
The butcher always complain to the saint that he can't wake up in the morning for work..
The saint, being a kind soul, would offer to wake the butcher up every morning..
This went on for many years until one day, both of them pass away..

The butcher went to heaven..
and the saint, unfortunately went to hell...

The saint was puzzled and asked the hades,
"Why am I being banish to hell for being a holy person while the butcher is sent to heaven when he have slaughtered so many livestock?"

The lord of the hades answered..
"He is merely doing his job, earning a living as a butcher..
but you are different..."
"You are the one that reminds him to kill everyday..."

I remembered I read this story donkey years ago..
somehow or rather..I just can't seem to forget this story..
What looks like a good deed to you, might actually harm you...
What looks like a small donation from you, might cause others to do something silly..
landing you into deep trouble...

Time for some thoughts...
Goodnight

Drink up!

2007-10-23T13:41:00.001+08:00

Choice of words

2007-10-22T11:56:00.000+08:00

Right Speech

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered,"You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship.
The result is irreversible.

Perhaps you might have read this before..
Well, I just post it again for those who have not seen it..
as I personally feel that it's worth a few minutes of our time to read it..

How many times have we hurt others unknowingly with our inappropriate choice of words?
To you, a single time might be very little...
To others,
A single time from that particular conversation, can kill...

I have to admit that sometimes I do hurt others unknowingly with my words..
and that when I realise the fact..
it's often too late to rectify the situation..
Even if the situation is resolved,
there will always be a little crack in my heart that's feeling so sorry..
I am trying my best to improve on myself in this area.. and I will constantly work on it..

Be it a stranger, your family, or friends.. whoever it is..
Let's use the correct choice of words..
and not hurt anyone using silly terms and words again shall we?

Love ya...

It's not about winning

2007-10-17T10:40:00.000+08:00

The beautiful part of a battle
is how a winner handle the attribute patience

Do you have it?

A moment of contradiction

2007-10-15T20:24:00.000+08:00

The urge to write,
yet to write without a theme is deem as insignificance rubbish.
These days, my posts have become more and more senseless.
My best friend have commented that this blog have become a nonsensical waste in the internet.
No doubt about this comment,
I agree with him fully.

Perhaps it's the environment I am in,
a place that forbid my creativity juice to flow freely.

Perhaps its my inner self,
that is the plain laziness to stop thinking.

Perhaps its the immense pressure I am feeding myself with,
worrying about my future with my current state of mindset.

Or perhaps,
The problem lies with me.

Sister once advise me,
The solution to each problem,
is to hunt for the root of that problem.

Upon saying this,
I reckon...
I have already solve this simple riddle.

Help...

2007-09-22T01:10:00.000+08:00

The silence is killing me.
Is it suppose to be this way?
I really have no idea...

After so long,
I finally am crying for help,
Because..
I am lost...

Goodnight

A beautiful Country

2007-09-19T18:59:00.000+08:00

During the bus journey, I saw how beautiful the city is..
That change my mind, to step out of the room and venture the city.
My initial plan was to hang around the hotel area at most...
Just like any other countries I've visited..
Well....
Glad that I went out.. :)

Tokyo is simple stunning at night...
Especially the millions of lightings that shine from the tall buildings...
The air feels so fresh..the smoking ban really help I guess..
The tap water taste so light and fluffy...
ok I exaggerate on the last bit..

The food here taste heavenly..
I had chicken karrage last night and it's so crispy and tasty..
Munch crunch munch crunch...
Addictive lah...
I've been to japan 4 times and always.. ALWAYS the food never let's me down..
This time round is no exception...

I went to Shinjuku for a walk... just by walking down the streets aimlessly makes me a happier person..
the people, the trendy culture, the strange invention they have...
Everything seems so right...
Something worth mentioning is there's a Isetan Man's ...8 level merchandise solely for Man...
Sorry samuel.. I went to the polo ralph and they STILL have got no Big Horse..heh
It's a Shopping paradise....

Enough of the sceneries, food and shopping le...
Going for a short rest now...
Oh yah...
As usual, I didn't bring my camera out..so no pictures...
Either you watch more Japan hour or you can use your imagination...

Yawnz...

Ringing bells

2007-09-15T13:13:00.000+08:00

Power

2007-09-03T22:06:00.000+08:00

The world is so full of mystery.
2 days back in AUH, I was planning to webcam with my special one in the early morning.
And as usual,
I overslept.
The feeling is very Arghhh... very Arggh...
that I promise myself that I will jolly wake up the next day to Cam with her.
This time even earlier.
8am.... goshh...

To be honest, I slept at around 4am...
and the most incredible thing happened...
I manage to wake up at 7.45am to prepare myself ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, The young and the old, the kpo and the none kpo...
after beating around the bush for the past 5mins,
I decide to embark into the journey of the topic of the day...
The power of your sub-conscious mind.

The night before I slept,
I keep telling myself that,
I MUST WAKE UP AT 7.45am TO CAM.
multiply it by a few hundred times...
and I doze off ...

The next moment when I open my eyes,
It's 7.45am SHARP.
Automatically~
No alarm clock needed, save batteries...

Miracle

When you truly want something to happen, it will happen.
The power to negotiate with oneself, to set the rules and lay out the foundation..
Your willingness to persuade yourself in doing things which outsider thinks on the contrary,
and lastly to hold the faith strongly in your hands on what you believe in..

Let it run my friend,
Let everything flow...
The journey may not be smooth,
but share the burden with your mind...
together it will bring you to your new destination...

Happy Teacher's Day

2007-09-02T01:05:00.000+08:00

Almost forgot...
Happy Teacher's Day...

I sms-ed 1 of my secondary school teacher.
He is the one that motivate me the most during my secondary days.
Surprise that he still kept my number though...
Afterall, its been..8 years.

I still wanna thank him, for motivating me to study...
Every tuesday without fail he will give a few of us private tution at a void deck near my home.
I flanked my O level for the first time.
No teachers in school gave me a second chance,
except for him.
fuck the rest of the teachers.. get lost...

On the second try, I manage to get into a polytechinc.
My first L1R4= 32 points... dunno what the hell I am doing...
on the second try, I manage to get 23...
The result is not fantastic, but I am happy enuff...very happy...
I remembered I hugged him tightly and say
"cher cher, thank you. "

8 years ago,
a simple me just wanna get into a polytechinc,
Just like any other 17years old
Just like any other secondary kids...
Just like the peer pressure everyone is giving one another...
Just a polytechinc that can let me experience what campus life is all about...
... irregardless of whichever whatever course.
The idea of wearing outside clothes to school...
The freedom of what my sister have told me about...
Blah blah...blahh...

What happened next?
3 years into my campus life,
I've spend half the time working...
and I dropped out.

I understand what it is all about.
People don't...

"Everything must try... If you never try, how would you know how good or bad it can be?"
Some idiot said this to me... can't remember who, but I remember this line ...and I gong gong follow..
So I try as much as I can,
as much as my conscious allows me to..

Until the day I told myself,
"Hmm... that should be all.. what I wan to try, i've tried... time to move on..."
by then.. its abit too late...
The school have enough of my trying session and they decided to drop me out.

3 years old campus life, and what I have truly gain.. ?
Quality Friends for life.
They still are.. and trust me..they will be in future...
So poly brings me lots of friends..

Then,
What does my secondary school brings me?
Throughout the 5 years in my secondary days,
I kept in contact with only 2 person.
One is my dear friend derrick,
and the other is my teacher..

My super random mind is at work again..
but this time better yah?
Starts with my teacher,
ends with my teacher...

Thank you Mr Toh.

Abu Dhabi
1614hrs

Went out to grab a bite just now.
Just 1 single word to describe everything.

Just 1 word: HOT

It's burning at 43 Degree Celsius outside.

Make a guess if I would go out for sightseeing...

In the mood to blog rubbish.

2007-08-28T04:04:00.000+08:00

I got myself a big bed.
and that makes me a happy man.

Very happy.
Oh-So-Happy.

Goodnight.
Moral of the story for tonight: Buy a bed.

My Sunday

2007-08-27T02:21:00.000+08:00

Had crabs from the infamous Amk coffeeshop for dinner..
Butter creamy crabs and chilli crab...
It's not as good as the first time I tried though..
Guess its time to venture other places for really solid crab..

After dinner, the usual gang of us went for some healthy sporting activities..
Billiards..
Hey.. dun look down on this "World Safest Sport" hor..
Also need energy to walk around the table right?

Spend the very last game correcting my posture of holding the cue...
I know my skills have been stagnant for the past 5 years because of the way I hold the cue..
And being a typical human, I just don't want to do something about it, until just now..
Really can't stand the way I play anymore...

Quote of the day; "Its just a matter of getting used to it"
From today onwards, I will improve on my posture!

Supper with Allan, had a quick chat before heading home...
pretty tired though...

That's my Sunday...
A peaceful one...
:)

Special someone have been working and studying real hard nowadays...
It's really tough on her..
Promise I will be more understanding from now onwards...
Let's Jiayou !

Manchester united.. how united?

2007-08-23T13:45:00.000+08:00

0700 GMT+2
Brilliant weather in Manchester..
Went to Old Trafford Stadium yesterday for the tour.. quite interesting although I know nothing about soccer... The thing that fascinate me the most, is the grass pitch..
It's green in colour.. when I say green, I really mean GREEN... Very green...
Argghh...
My English sucks...
I can't describe a beautiful patch of grass...
Anyway to summarise it,
You can try bowling on the pitch...

Nice?
Believe it or not... the stadium background is merely a fake... its just a poster...

ok lahh.. this is real ...

He's back

2007-08-07T03:39:00.000+08:00

Out of boredom, I read a blog...
I must admit that this fellow have got a decent sense of humor with an added dose of "funny thoughts" in it.. Personally I felt that he must be someone that really understood himself very well and he seems to be quite determine to get things done.. although at some point in time, he stood at a crossroad waiting for durain to drop, but overall his blog do attract me...
The more I read his post, the more I wan to be like him...
Until recently there's a drop in his wits and his deep funny thoughts.. he seems to be a changed man.. and its clearly a sign that he is beginning to think, with his arse...

I am reading my own blog.

Some terrifying thoughts begin to decent onto me...
What have I become? I used to think that I have a rather decent tolerance level, until things starts to morph... after I changed to this job...
Day by day, I am using lesser and lesser of my brain cells ...
This can't go on...

Right now, I am not blaming my job for this, but somehow or rather...
There is a connection...
A strange or indirect connection ...

Its been a good 9 days into my leave.. 2 more days for some thoughts..
The vision is getting clearer..
Let's just hope that my mind will maintain this way...
I will try to be stronger, and be more focus in my life...

My only Fear

2007-08-01T19:18:00.000+08:00

0418hrs

Caught a terrible sore throat.. real bad.. hate the feeling of being sick...
I was watching Discovery Channel this afternoon, some programs about terrible accidents..
A guy's head got slash by the blades of a small aircraft...
another one featured a very extreme F1 accident...
It sets me thinking..

What if I am one of them?
They are not the usual cough and fever kinda stuffs...
They are the one that have to undergo some tough operation and complex medical treatments..
How will I cope? Will I be able to cope?
If I am crippled, paralyse, or have have become mute..
Logically, I should be able to accept it as time progress...

All except for 1...
If someday I lost my sight, where I won't be able to see anymore...
with confirmation from the doctors that my eyes are beyond cure...
I... will chose to die.

My "godmother" often ask me what is the 1 thing that I fear,
and I always reply lion, tiger, or dinosaurs..
On a serious note.. the 1 and only thing that I am really terrified of,
is the loss of my eyesight.
That's the only fear in my life now...

Damm... late at night.. always have a thing for such emotional stuffs...
think I should not blog so often at night..
Really hate the emotional part of me...

Stupid Andy..

Vancouver

2007-07-31T22:04:00.000+08:00

I reached Vancouver at around 1500 local time yesterday...
Upon reaching the hotel and a very nice shower, I doze off...
Was awake at 2000 for a while... and then doze off again..
Woke up at 0230, and that's it...

Ouch.. The jet lag is killing me.
It's 15hrs different from my country yah?
Turn and toss on the big and comfy bed. But somehow it's nothin' compared to the small and stinky bed I have at home.
Was determine to do something and suddenly the craving for coffee starts to haunt me.
Did a treasure hunt in the room and I found a coffee maker machine.
My eyes became watery.
Realise that it's tears of joy.
Ehh ehh ... very machiam lah...

Anyway... brew the coffee, have a morning ciggy... and here I am ... typing some lubbish here...
Planning to go out for a walk later at 12 for some shopping and stuffs...The hotel I am staying in got involved with some water issue and is havin some silly renovation.

"Water will be cut from 1200hrs -1500hrs.. Bla bla bla sorry for the inconvenience cause ..bla bla bla bla grandfather story... "

So that means I have to get outta my room lah... no water, very kang kor one lah...

***************************

Thinking.. what's going on in my beloveeeed country now...

My special one should be reaching home soon after long day at work.. poor thing..

Sister should be facing some SCV problems, but with her ability,
she will be watching some drama shows... somehow...

Cousin should be busying with his work.. and family...
and keeping daisy company for the next 2 days...
dounch worry she'll be back soon yah..

Bestest friends including that silly just got married couple
should be have some boring time alone...
perhaps the guy is watching some cartoons.. yucks..

Derrick.. hmm... overseas in some branded country...
help me see got Giordano there k? wahhaa..

Can't wait to go home lahhhh~

YEeeeHar....

2007-07-30T12:14:00.000+08:00

A few more hrs to my next flight..
A good whole 10hrs one.
Sucks...
Webcaming with my special one now,
Nice!

Lets hope that there's free internet in Vancouver!
That'll make me a happy man again!

Seeya !

What's so special about Dunkin' Donuts?
But if you were to received it in Singapore,

It'll be special..

I finished it in one go...
Ermm... anymore ?
Heh...

An unadventures day

2007-07-20T19:47:00.000+08:00

8.40pm
Location: Osaka

WWweeee....
I was so happy about coming to Japan partly because of Burberry's Blue Label.
Upon reaching the shop... I was... rather disappointed leh.
The apparels just doesn't seem to be appealing at all. (Trust my taste ok? haha..)
Was supposed to get a few items for my families. I even brought along an extra big broody bag...guess I just use it to keep my Kiam Sah liao...
Alright ladies and gentlemen.. no Blue Label from me this time...sorry!

Well.. walk around the streets and bought a pair of silly greenish flip flops.. too bad havaianas dun carry my size.. can't earn my pathetic 49dollars..

Then to the ever favourite 100yen shop and spend on some silly stuffs...
and when I say silly,
I really do mean SILLY...

Kaoz I am gettin' older and more bo liao each day..
Aging fast...

I know whats wrong with my life

2007-07-15T07:20:00.000+08:00

0120hrs..
Doze off while watching my guess3 clips...
woke up..
toss and turn ..
2 ciggy...
some water down my thirsty throat...

2007-07-15T01:18:00.000+08:00

1918hrs
Yup.. I know .. I am getting more and more irritating with my bo-liao yet consistent entries..

who cares?
It's andguy.blogspot.com Wor~
Proudly owned by me (and blogspot if you're kaykao...)

I just wanna try out my lappy blue-tooth function.. and at the same time was quite impressed with the food!

7pm in JNB .. so Dinner time!
My Blue cheese salad, followed by a Sirloin steak.. good enuff !

Loneliness creeping in again..
but what to do..

Lonely. Creepy.

2007-07-14T22:27:00.000+08:00

Time in Johannesburg is 1627, bright and sunny outside.
But my mood is with Singapore, which is 2227, night time, dark and gloomy..
I just woke up from a nap, a quick one of 2+ hours, and as I manually lift up my eyelids, some sort of loneliness just creep in.
This kind of mood is the last thing I want when overseas.

I freshen up, light a cigg, make myself a nice warm cup of tea(with extra milk). A lot of time human beings just say they want some quality time with themselves... and...
Is this what they meant?
I am guilty of the above comment, as I've asked for that request sometimes.
I know jolly well that the time given to me is being wasted away, and sad to say.. I have no intention to save it ... YET...

"Still haven't have enough fun, Andy?"
*Andy Shakes his head innocently*

Not now, Not yet...
But soon...

Very Soon...

and the loneliness creep in again..

Here I am

2007-07-14T02:16:00.000+08:00

As promise from my previous post...
I said that I will blog more frequently when I have a lappy...
so here I am..

Location: Johannesburg
Broody hell... its winter.. didn't check the weather condition at all... this morning when I arrived, it's 2°C .. Lucky my plan is to hibernate in the hotel room..
But guess what... I almost have to sleep on the streets today.. My room is not booked~ because of some crappy reason... anyway, anyhow, whatever it is.. I am in the comfort of my room.. with the free internet access.. that makes me a happy man...

Recently my family encounter a very unpleasant incident. Well, All I can say is, life is oh-so unpredictable. dun really wanna elaborate much further.. just read my 16th march entry to appreciate everything..

Will be back on Monday morning... lookin forward to it.. amazingly, this lil' tropical island have a lot for me to think about yah?

Let's get down to clubbing biz again... Coming Wednesday and Saturday .. Party Time my friends!

***********************

A little note for that special someone.
I really want you to be happy in whatever you do.. so don't worry about me being angry or what..I am not, and I will be not, as long as you remember the 3 things I told you.. *winkz*
Have fun and enjoy yourself whenever you can ok?
*Hugz*

Lappytop

2007-07-04T00:06:00.001+08:00

I need a lap top! Arghh~
Always not around in Singapore, and always oh-so-unconnected..
Thought of changing my handphone to the Samsung i600... but come to think about it.. Hmm... maybe I should get a laptop first.. more practical yah?

Ok, I promise..
Once i get my laptop, I will blog very very often... VERY!

A Little Note

2007-05-31T18:30:00.000+08:00

A little note for a very special someone that came into my life..

I will be flying around very often, and can't be there for you all the time.
bb.. you really must take care of yourself when I'm not around ok?
Just a few more hrs to my flight... don't worry.. Monday morning will come very soon..
hiakz..

Missing u...

2007-05-10T03:05:00.000+08:00

Recently I discover an in built 'technology' in me.
Whining.
Brilliant I must say.. cuz I never realise that I COULD, or I have the ability to whine so much. Complaining about the weather, my life, work... basically everything that I could touch on...
Shouldn't I be focusing on the more important issues in my life, rather than whining about some other useless issues about myself?
Come to think of it, I feel quite sick of this mentality.. it's really putting me off, big time.
(Did I whine again?)

Alright.. Ladies and gentlemen.. The whining in me will soon vanish..
give me a week or too, and I will reduce it by a good percentage.
I mean it.

Well, some now new and upcoming plans for me..
I will become healthier, gym and running !!
I will smoke lesser, but not to the extend of quitting. :)
I will get my driving license.
I will make more friends, reliable ones.
and the last one,
which is the most important of them all,
I will take up a course..what course, as usual.. I won't say.. (Damm I really can't wait to attend it..)

Movies!

2007-03-17T03:00:00.000+08:00

Watched the movie "300" today with my friends..
I really have got high expectation of this show.. since last october, I happen to see the trailers at Youtube and I told myself I MUST WATCH IT!
Hmm... too high expectation, brings my whole tempo down.. anyway, worth watching..

Have you guys watched "Music and Lyrics" yet?
From my humble point of view, it's one of the better Romantic comedy that I've ever watched!
Hmm.. Ok, I'll take back my words..
First in my list is still Jerry Maguire..
It's a classic lahhh...

Anyway, Music and lyrics was so good, that I went to get the OST.. Brilliant! I never knew Hugh Grant can sing so well.. Impressivee.eee..

Can't get to sleep now.. pop by blogger to add one more entry...
ok,
Senseless entry again..
tata~

Appreciate!

2007-03-16T04:12:00.000+08:00

hee..
broke my record... exactly 2 months never post..
Well..
I am ok with that..
So what bothers you ???

This 2 months have been wonderful... My new job allows me to travel and meet people.. which is what I always want.. To acquire new knowledge, and experience a lot of culture. I am beginning to appreciate what I have now.. Hmm.. Actually I have been very appreciative of what I have, it's just that I appreciate MORE of what I have now..
Appreciate the time I have in Singapore..
Appreciate the $$$ I am earning...
Appreciate the Friends I've got...
Appreciate the safe and secure environment my country provides...

Every trip to a new destination, I appreciate...
I'll never know..No one knows..
That trip, might be the very last time I will step into that country...
I might get hit by a car...
Die...mati..

No one can predict the future...
Appreciate it....
I hope everyone around me will be more appreciative of what they have... You never know, this might be the last time you are reading my blog...
I might delete it away after 1 month... or even 1 day...
Or the lovely world just met with a disaster.. some meteor came down on us..hmm... not some.. it's alot.. or 1 whole chunk...
PoofS~!
Opps.. no more internet... humans might fight with clubs and stones ..
The possibility is very small..
But the probability is still there mind you..

Ladies and gentlemen...
the next time you wake up... appreciate it ok?
appreciate that you're still alive and kicking.. be grateful that you are still able to hear the alarm clock clinking away...
Be grateful that there's still batteries in it..
or else you'll be late for school or work..

Okie..
Time to say goodnight now..
Appreciate my goodnight..
for you never know,
It might be the last time you are reading my goodnight..

GOODNIGHT!

Divine Wisdom

2007-01-15T20:16:00.000+08:00

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Actually dun really wish to post this... but I saw 2 words that caught my attention.....

Divine Wisdom

Wahhaha...machiam machiam leh..
Seriously lah.. I don't possessed that quality..
But since they wrote it there.. I got to accept it~~~
Wahaaaaaa...

Outta point entry.. Again

2007-01-14T12:19:00.000+08:00

yeah!
It's been a month since I last blog..
Actually I did it on purpose.. just trying to see how long I can tahan not blogging..

Okie.. that joke above is not meant to crack u up.. it's just there to increase the words in this entry.

Bloody Busy.. yeap.. I know I shouldn't use the word "BUSY" as an excuse.. I got more than enough free time to log in and do some updating..
All I can say is that my life is hyper packed with activities that I am too confuse as to where to start.. Ouch...

It's a new beginning for me..
Firstly, my new job have prepare me for lots and lots of adventures!
Ok, my style is not to mention what I am working until I left the company.. so If you wanna know what I am doing.. you can forget about it~

It's a beautiful morning.
The rain are singing to me.. telling me how wonderful and cooling this Sunday would be..
I was awake at 9am.. immediately, plans are running thru my mind.. what to do today.. this week.. and this month .. quite straining actually.. but I appreciate it..
I hate the feeling of waking up feeling lost.. without a single idea on what's going happen to me for this whole period..
That farkin feeling sucks...

Beautiful morning.. dun wanna fark around now..
Take care guys..

Ho ho Ho..

2006-12-16T03:18:00.000+08:00

A Christmas tree for all ..
Merry Christmas :)

The sides

2006-12-15T21:15:00.000+08:00

Jingle bell...
Christmas around the corner.. so what will you be doing on that day?
No prize for guessing where I'll be...
Yup...
A deserted Coffeeshop, with ciggy and Kopi-O...

Something happened today, ermm.. nothing dramatic.. but good enough to activate my lil' brain for some lil' thinking..
The topic for the day is: The 2 sides of a coin.
or shall I say the 2 sides to everything...

Whenever I place my coins on the table, I would fiddle with it..At times, wondering what's beneath it... looking at the boring flower engravements on one side, followed by guessing which year was it born, from the other side... Well, Most of the time, I got it wrong..

I was born normally, without any special ability.. Average IQ.. perhaps just slightly below normal people I guess... So that means I definately possessed no psychic power. What Do I mean then... ?
That means that I need to MANUALLY flip the coin over, to find out the answer.. and when I flip, I will see the answer.. I found out the truth.
I'll get a bigger picture right?
Or shall I say,
I get the WHOLE picture?
Hmmm....

Zillions of people have encounter this quote..
However,
Who really understand it?
Who really appreciate it?
Ouch...

Everything has got 2 sides, that's for sure.
Challenge me.

Btw,
I am a coin pouch, tucked peacefully in the corner of a quiet cupboard.

Good old saying

2006-12-01T21:59:00.000+08:00

The good old saying,
God created human beings with 2 eyes, 2 ears, and a mouth.
Listen and observe, but don't say a word.
You'll learn alot .. alot ...
:)

Don't be the one creating it,
and don't be the one introducing it.
It'll make this world a better place yah?

Time for some light reading!
Ciao~~

Healthier, but a change of behaviour...

2006-11-18T00:23:00.000+08:00

Life's really "healthier" since I start this new job..
I wake up at early..
What's early? some kinda food?
Treasure my weekends...
Previously, everyday is a day.. Just a Day..
I eat my meals on time...
Breakfast, Lunch and dinner was a stranger to me..
I became fatter...
Obvious right? I was thin previously lah! I prefer a meatier me..

Awww....
Is this Andy?

Away from the topic..
Recieved this from my mail.. quite sweet..

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying, "Just take care of my eyes, dear."

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

KC=PS

To the parents...

2006-10-21T01:29:00.000+08:00

"Suppose, for example, that I am highly overreactive to my children. Suppose that whenever they begin to do something I feel is inappropriate, I sense an immediate tensing in the pit of my stomach. I feel defensive walls go up; I prepare for battle. My focus is not on the long-term growth and understanding but on the short-term behavior. I'm trying to win the battle, not the war.

I pull out my ammunition- my superior size, my position of authority- and I yell or intimidate or I threaten or punish. And I win. I stand there, victorious, in the middle of the debris of a shattered relationship while my children are outwardly submissive and inwardly rebellious, suppressing feelings that will come out later in uglier ways."

Extracted from Stephen R. Covey 's 7th habits of Highly Effective People.

When reading this part of the book, the very first thing that came to my mind is to update it into my blog, and dedicate it to all the great parents out there, especially my beloved sister.
Human beings have got this dominating factor build into their system.
Human beings naturally love to dominate.
Who doesn't like the feeling of victory?
From my perspective, it's a very healthy behaviour as long as you know when to win, and what to win. In arguments, fights, work or even family... the dominating habit applies..
But towards a child?

I strongly believe a child has the potential to learn as much as an adult.
The reason is clear.
They are growing up.
How many adults are actually growing up? hmm....
Their lil' minds are absorbing as much information as an adult. They are at a learning stage, which is the most important stage in a lifespan. Guide a child the wrong way, and he/she will have a tougher time in his/her later stage in life. You don't pamper them, you guide them, correct them and explain to them.

Let the kid understand who he/she is.
Let them understand themself.
Let them know what they want.
Make them think...

"Mum, can I go out with my friends?"
"No"
"But ... why can't I go out with them?"
"I say No means No."

Does the above passage sounds familiar?
I been thru that umpteen times...
The mother above is doing what SHE wants,
and not giving her kid a chance to understand what they want.

"Never use your authority as a parent to tell the kid what to do"
It's unhealthy.

Let them learn..
Make them think..
Make them understand themself..

Kids are never a burden.
They are OUR future..

Misjudge

2006-10-16T19:48:00.000+08:00

I thought yesterday will be the last day I'll see her.
I was wrong...

It's Today.

Behind the scene

2006-10-16T00:10:00.000+08:00

Dinner with my close friends is always interesting, because that's the time you can find out more about yourself!
we chat about everything...
Today, my dinner session with WH and "Fortune Centre Flower" was about ..
Mars and Venus..

Miss FCF was saying.. does man goes for Looks or Body first...
then she ask..
Girl A with Looks, but no body..
Girl B with body, but no looks..
Pick one..

Vague right? no conclusion.. but that's the interesting part!
Some debate session going on ..
Girl A with looks but very thin.. flat chested.. bla bla bla ..
Girl B with body, but face got birthmarks.. scars etc...
Indirectly, WH begin to force me to and answer that he wants..
C.R.A.P.Z
...

It's farking funny ..
We begin to scold some profanities...
FCF remarked that up till this point, she still can't accept the fact that I scold vulgarities.. yah.. nbccb .. bla bla..

Thoughts...................
That's the most "True" me when I am with them..Words and stupid actions that I "performed" are seriously un-rehearsal in my brainy while I'm with them.. The most orginal me is there, right there..
Right at that Farking spot when I'm with my dearest buddies for life..

Who, or What I am.....................
The true me is always sooooo bloody simple... how I yearn to lead a Simple humble life.. Hai.. People judge me as someone that's not serious, someone that's "mouth flower flower" person.. but that's just me.. I'm useless-ly harmless...
For god sake, spare me the first impression judgement ok?

Sorry about the sidetrack...
As for the question FCF asked,
This is the real authentic answer from me..
It's the brain with the correct frequency that will attract me..
Bonus: Nice butt

Contradicting ?
Read that killer word..
Bonus.. I can live without bonus..

Gosh ..
Super outta topic...
Enuff of the ranting ..

Whenever I decide to write a new entry for my blog, all the "memories" and "Stories" will play hide and seek with me. They just seem to be hiding from the tofu inside my head, not willing to share with other kpo readers like U..

This is what I am facing now...
The moment they see the homepage for blogger.com,
PooF! they vanished deep into my lil' brain...

Let's see....
hmm....
ok...
Give up lah ..

On the 19th October,
Something .. big will be coming ... the signature will go above the dotted line.
and..

21st October, will be my very last day @ work..
I dun miss my shop,
But,
I will miss the shopping mall sheltering my shop..
I will miss the Bubble Tea also..
awww... dunno why, this Stupid Old man recently got involved in a love triangle..
Love affair between Oreo Coffee ice-blended and Blue Coral ice-blended...
They're equally niceee!! especially with the ah zhu inside..
I will miss the people working around my area..

Alright..
no point grumbling and whining or whatever u call it..
Lim pare go sleep liao ...

yah ..
Lim pare..
Wa tarr teh chew gai ..

Dotted line ..........................

2006-10-07T02:41:00.000+08:00

Oi!
My freaking Dotted line has come~
Have been waiting .. and waiting for it ...
then...
It came~

Ok.. so what's with the Dotted line u may ask..
Once my signature goes above the dotted line,
My life would change.. this is something I strongly believe in..
Here comes a new challenge, another level of service I hope to provide..

Perhaps, some would say more income..
but I would say.. Mee siam mai hum..Mee siam mai hum...

ok ... kidding..

I would say it's just gonna be in a more comfortable range..
:)

I can see the world more clearly..that's the most important factor of my job switch!

Yeapy yeap..
Leaving my current job now ..
Awww....

Not happy about it .. but not sad about it too ..
hai.. Life goes on lah..

Hazy night..
wear a mask before u sleep...
Goodnight~

It's in chinese thou..

Highly accurate for my part..

Just a story ..from somewhere...

2006-09-14T01:15:00.000+08:00

Some of you might have read this before,
Some might not..
I find this story to be quite....
Interesting?

A student ask a teacher, "what is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the padi
field and choose the biggest padi and come back. But the rule is: you can go throught them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big padi,but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is a even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he start to
realise that the padi is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regreted !!!! So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him,

"...this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person...."

**************

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go throught them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat
the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.
The teacher told him,

"this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage."
