What's on ur mind and what abt mine?

Last year, which was like 2 weeks ago, i was thinking of a new year's resolution for myself. But then i thought again, how many have i actually achieved over my living years and i did my math, it was like < 10% of what i envisioned myself doing. Pretty decent percentage eh?

And then i was thinking, what abt u? What abt my acquaintance, my colleagues, my i know u but u dont know me or vice versa people, my frens, had in mind for the new year. But then again i bet with myself a bet that not winning would be as likely as a whale hatching from an egg, that more or less u people out there would not achieve what u have set for urself this year! So for god knows why, are u making a new year's resolution for the sake of making one lol. But be glad u werent alone :D *group hug*

Irony the case here, is parallel to the irony of life. Say me for example, i know that my character has alot of defiencies, i am soft, accepting, no guts, small balled, and very chin chai type. But then being in an accounting field, we cannot be wishy washy, for it is the stakeholder's interest that ee have to care abt!

But then again, i value relationships above other things so sometimes even if we know that things are suppose to be done the this way, we still try to compromise. And when people needs help, u feel the duty of helping as they are ur frens.

My colleagues ever said to me that i have no boundaries, i dont have any classification of frens who i am willing to go all out to help, but as long as they are my fren, i feel obliged to help.

So the irony of my life here is that is it good or is it bad to value ur feelings, ur relationships above other material gains? Sometimes i ask myself if i should continue with my career but then again its not compatible with my personality to be someone sitting up there, being firm and assertive to make decisions and giving out instructions, making sure things are done in the right way. No, i'm not a dictator but rather a follower, a 'blend-in' character.

If u let me choose a role in ur life, i'd wanna be the nice guy who've seem to helped u before but leaving no impression. Its like the guy with unrequitted love in chic flicks.

Well, done for the night. That was in my mind and what abt the u with so many resolutions for 2013?hat abt mine?

Everybody's changing and i.....

Hellllooo bitches! And wed was an awesome day and i can easily say its one of the better day of the year. And its already nearing the end of the year with so many things happened and gone. Some still remain and some have already been forgotten.

But do u still remb at the same time last year u set goals for urself? U set ur new year's resolution thinking imma do th

is, imma do that. But let me ask u a question? - Did u? Funny isnt it? Then let us go back a little further back to the old days where u told ur parents and ur gf u will nv ever smoke, drink or gamble, and what now?

I'm not talking abt broken promises or whatsoever coz promises are always broken. But think abt it, are u still the same as the person u are one year earlier? Are u better now or u could have been better if u remained the same?

Think of this guy, he was very humble. He got good grades, did law and then came this opportunity for him to join the parliament. Then came a lady who was mesmerised by his charm and tried to seduce him. However he was always faithful to his wife but due to the constant exposure, he gave in to desire. (I'm not saying mr palmer is a nice guy but it just happened recently, so in this context i think its appropriate)

And let's say for this kid. He was a hooligan, he join gang, take drugs but when his mother died, he was full of grief that he swore to his mom's grave that he'd turn over a new leaf. Look at him now he's the director for a non-profit organisation helping teenagers with behavioural problems.

And let's take a look at urself. U are pure, innocent and like a piece of paper. They more things u see, the more strokes are drawn on ur paper. The more people u interact with, the more colours are painted on u. And depending on the people u meet and the events that happen, u change.

So let's take a look at ur painting. Did it turn out to be the one u expect it to be? Or was it influenced by how other painting looks or how it should look to the audience? Why should we be the painting that makes people feel desirable? Why do we be the painting that looks safe and blend well with the others. Kinda sad right but in this time and day, we are often like that

And in the event of putting the strokes and the final brushes on ur painting, ask urself this question, "have i lost myself in the journey?"

Bad flow but heck

Sub par man

Hello all, another post within the day and gosh i have to take my hat off to myself. Its just 20hrs to the day and i watch tv and slacked for 2 hrs, tried to slp for 4, slpt for like 4hrs, play soccer for 2, worked for close to 9 hrs

I'd like to call myself sub par man and if u read it quick it sounds like superman! Lol damn the ache in my head z and with the slp i had, everything i do is sub par and i feel i'm sub-par!!

But the temptation of watching a game later is sooo great x.x

If only i'm super and i can slp for 4 and work for 24. But hey, i'm human afterall.

Rants @#£%%&* :DD i'm high

Realisation and Revelation

Hello all, there's a good news to share.... ITS THE END OF OUR EXAMS MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Lol even though i havent do my best and i dont know if i can pass, i guess i deserve some merit for my effort put in. And thinking abt the things that needS to be done x.x gosh i rather not think abt it. I'm just asking for a deserved break which i dont see it coming soon...

Nonetheless, let's not be affected by the bad news (i know u are not affected but i am!) and move on with this post

I spent the bulk of my 3 weeks revising, studying and mugging. Its slp, work, study (+ slack here and there) then the cycle continue.. on and on and its one hellfa bit*h.. there's things i wanted to do but there's only 1 thing i need to do.. having revised my work for a long while, there were so many things i've learnt, perhaps my memory would fail me after a few months time but heck anw

But, there were 2 process that i went through during this period. First i went through the realisation process, where i read through the notes, and i wrote down the main points and i came to realise how it actually works out.. its like myself talking to myself "dude, i've got this shit" pretty sweet yo?

But when it came to the exam itself, i sit infront of the exam table, i flipped open the question, guess what? IT WAS A REVELATION!! (Cant get it? Google.)

So all in all i would just give u a tip on revising for ur exams. Just eat all the notes u have (literally) before u enter the exam hall. Once inside i bet u will suffer from indigestion and u will just vomit everything out (also literally) and tada, Joe's top revision tip

And lastly, if u wanna feel lucky, u can wear red undies and they look pretty sexy.

Vroom vroom crash...

*insert key* crank, crank *whole body moving* and we are good to go!

Hello, oh no not again? What's up with this shit? This is worst then my engine stalling lol.

Ok let's not think abt anything at the moment and focus on the ride. What a smooth ride this is, stepping on the accelerator and putting the gear to auto, oh so this is how we drive.

And sad to say, nowadays most

vehicles are automatic. Gone were the days where u see ur dad sitting up and staying alert, switching gears. Now, its just, auto accelerate, brake, hand brake lol. We just have to follow the crowd, do the same thing and we can get to our destination.

So perhaps u can join me for a ride where we see things in a different perspective. Imagine everyone's life is a ride. All of us are given a car, some are european, some asians and some are secondhanded. Maybe i would say there is the gold car silver car and the peasant cui car. The gold car is equipped with the state of the art technology, machiam the bat mobile and the peasant car is just a humble 4WD with the norms and a good stereo (music is life)

Then comes the journey where everyone will have to go through, and the races that each have to compete. Having a good car gives u the edge where u can outrun ur peers, however the vehicle itself plays a small part. U can have a good car, but if u suck at parking, then having how good of a car wont matter until the recent volkswagen launch (was it??)

So deep inside ur mind, there is also a mini race going on. The very participant in ur head is called the motivation, and to tie with the topic today, its other name is 'drive'! So whats makes u a better person is how much drive u have, how much something drives u to do and why it drives u to do it. I see my frens who work their asses off and mug everyday and i wonder if they caught my hat (u're pretty damn cool if u get it)

So be it what car u are driving, the route that everyone is taking is the same. U have to have the drive to get to greatness or just simply follow the traffic and avoiding accidents and get to a safe place.

So vroooom vrooom, what's ur drive? And if u agree, i can give u a ride if u know what i mean

You are not in my league

Hello!! It had been real long since I came here, and look what i've done!! I change the blogskin!! But I still prefer my old one coz it was customised to my liking... perhaps after typing this post i will change it back again LOL

Anyway, the title of this post brings back beautiful memories. Back to the time where I'd spend my weekends at world of JJ, then we'd be playing raw deal at the bicycle stand. Good times then and this card below

is like one of the most godlike card, it cost 9 fort, and u can easily get it in with an oversell, dirty, dirty, ego and league lol..

But drinking a cup of tie guan yin and reminiscing the old times is not what i'm gonna write abt today. Its abt the things u wanna do and the cap u wanna wear and the size of ur head.

First, let me reflect on my life. And certainly i think i'm pretty blessed with luck, but riding on luck always isnt a good thing. And now at this point of my life, there is something that i wish for so much that i dont mind using all my luck for the rest of my life to make it happen. But i can only blame that for my incompetence that led myself to such a predicament.

And like above, that was out of my league, i didnt have such a big head to wear such a big cap. And i feel kinda lousy for that happening but being the person i am, i doubt i will brood over it for long, perhaps after a good slp and i will not think abt it.

This suck man even though i have much to write, i guess i'm flat today and i will let the skin remain until i'm sick of it.

A little bit of monica in my life, a little bit of erika by by side

Hello people, here i am again, writing a long post. For those who have been stalking, yes i've got my camera alr and at a real bargain

!

Anyway as above, wouldnt life be wonderful if there are women in ur life? Note that its not woman (s) its women (pl) LOL.. But at the same time having one woman in ur life is alr too many :x

Hokay so i'd hereby lead u to my topic and its abt wants and needs. Be it a guy or a ger, when u see something u like, u want it! A new bag, u want it! A new pair of shoes, u want it! A new dress, a new gadget, a new lens, a new partne... ohhhh no no not that but yes sadly, life is filled with all these evil inventions

But that's not the main thing i wanna talk abt today. Today, imma talk abt the things u want to do, and the things u need to do. For us peasants, we need to work, eat, sleep and we want to play, chill, travel, but we only have got so much time.

For myself, i need to work, revise for my exams, i want to waste my time with my gf, read up on the taiwan trip, on photography, meet my frens, learn french, get replacement guitar strings and learn, my driving licence. All in 24hrs..

So now i'd reckon u think of life as a dick. In my case my life is filled with so many beauties like Miss Work (not the prettiest but the most attention seeking whore), Miss Guitar, Miss Football and so on and whenever u see them, ur raging testosterone will make ur blood pump and eventually u will have sex with one of them. But the problem is, u can only have sex with one of them at a time! Same goes for life where u have only enough time for one thing at a time, u can do a threesom.. i mean multi-task but the end result wouldnt be good or premature

To sum this up, like is still a dick and the more things u rub it with, the harder it gets and eventually when there are too many things, u'll lose interest, u'll lose ur direction and it becomes dysfunctional.

So let urself have a rest and prioritise ur task so u only have to do one at a time if u know what i mean

3 for $1

"Recruits! Fall in!" Omg its 5.15am alr and its time to muster and fuck i overslept. Shout from intructor "nvm, whole lot drop" and here it goes again.

Those were the days huh, where no matter what we do and how much we do werent good enough and the hammering just goes on and on. Thinking back, when we were hammered, do we have an option not to do, unlike when we do physical training ou

rselves now when we are tired, we will just stop and say 'let's do it another day'

This applies to work and studies too. When working, do u have an option to procraatinate and ask for an extension of deadline? But when u study, is revision ur only option? There are so many temptations ard to distract u.

But life is not all abt no options, life itself offers u with a wide range of options. Ask urself does life force u to study, to work or to live? No it doesnt and u can decide if u wanna live it anot.

Anyway let me quote u with an example in life. Where 2 person are in a relationship and they are planning for marriage. Was marriage the only option? Or rather it was a choice made by the pair. And a question to ask, "when the marriage turns sour, is the only option divorcing? No, not, there are still plenty of options and mending the marriage is one. And one more question when u are bend on divorcing "Then why in the first place u guys chose to be tgt?"

And the last thing imma talk abt today. U look at the disabled selling tissue in markets, playing music down the street, do they have other options or choice to do otherwise?

We are fortunate as we have much options. Too much to be many and i thank u for making a choice to waste ur time on this post.

When u thought u had all the answers.

Ok long post again, but before i begin, perhaps some of u might find it annoying for my status to appear in ur news feeds. Good news! U can just block my updates on ur feeds and for all u know, u are one of those that i have blocked, so thank you.

Let's rock!
When we were young, our math teacher teached us basic summation and deduction, and as we advanced we

will learn that the X actually stands for multiplication and the ufo like symbol is actually the division.

Just when u thought u had learnt it all, then came the algebra equation, the pythagoras theorem, the logarithmathric and exponential graphs and so on and so forth. And when u had learnt it all u find complex trigonometric equation, probability etc. So now can i ask u one question, just when u thought u had learnt everything, do u really think u have learnt everything now?

A person may always look cool, calm and composed, as he/she thinks everything in life is 'ok' to him/her. He/she might always agree with something, might always agree to help out and he/she seems to be the nice person ard doing things that needs to be done.

Let's look at a different issue for a moment. Let's say this ship was due to arrive at singapore in 3 days time. The coxswain of the ship had all the bearings and was confident of navigating the ship on time, suddenly horrible wind conditions and visions made it inaccessible to the buoys to navigate the ship on time. He coxswain later thought to himself "when i thought i had all the answers"

Ok so look at the mr/ms nice person again, when he/she agrees to help, that person might think its ok to do that. But is it really ok for them to do that?

Some people may think that they know themselves and the things they do and they can accept what they are doing. However take this chance to ask urself do u really know who u are? And the things u do? Can u accept the things that are happening ard u?

A very high chance that it would be a no for one, two or all three of these questions. Tell u what, this is a problem u have to figure it out urself as i cant do anything to help. Coz i also got something to say to myself, "just when i thought i had all the answers And u need a jog, dude"

I'm doing it, so can u!

Hello frens, i dunno why recently i've got so much to write. Maybe i just park my brain somewhere and forgotten where i left it and now i've found it again.

Have u ever wondered why there are some people whom u can get along so well with? And some who just cant seem to clique? For me (as a shy introvert :x) i would say i open up to people who opens themselves to me. So it

s like a give and take process, where one part gives and the other part receive.

Simple isnt it? Ok let's look at this young couple. They werent tgt initially, but when the guy ask the ger out and she complied, or the other way round, then its like the same old give and take process (let's call this the process for short) and there it all begins. The couple goes out, watch movies, have meals tgt and they starts knocking their hands against each other. And once the guy or the ger initiates and grab the other's hand, that is when 'the process' happens again. The other party will reciprocate and they will lock their hands. (Ok the relationship thingy can go on and on to making babies and i've got young frens so imma skip that and leave it to ur imagination)

Hokay then comes another part, like when u are wih a group of frens, where i wouldnt call them a bad mix but just the cool mix. They start picking up fights and when u see them doing it, its 'the process' again. U start thinking 'oh my frens are doing it so it should be alright to do it'

And its the same for men having affairs. They see so many of their frens doing it, even our lovely Mr DIY lol. And 'the process' goes on again in the brain.

So is it really right to do something? I dunno if there is a term for this phenomenom but i would call this the herd opinion. As human beings, we are afraid of being left out, we get envious, we feel greedy and full of pride. We are gluttons, we lose ourselves to wrath. Gives in to lust and lose the battle to sloth. And its exacerbated by the social media! But then again ask urself why are u being like the others? Its so mainstream (ehich explains my taste of music) Lol but hey, we are still human beings.

Thx for wasting 3mins of ur life ahahaha

There are 2 kind of people, an optimist and a pessimist. Some are suited to a certain kind of job and some are not.

Let's say u are an pessimist and u are in the science field (i'm sorry my frens) and u get nothing out of ur first try.. u would think to urself wth? This is nv going to work.

But for an optimist, he/she would say oh, the next time i will have to try something else, perhaps tweaking something here and something there. But let's say u have been trying for 10 years and u still dont get any positive results? Will u still remain optimistic?

Something banal, people always say we should be positive in life but can we always remain positive?

LOL

Content

Anyhow, a very good morning to all! Greetings on a blue monday so far? Or perhaps still not that bad? Dont know how i landed myself in this location now as the train was pretty screwed up today but i obly have myself to blame for missing the bus to work.

Instead of sitting here and rotting my time away, let me write something again :)

So what's the content for today? As u can see above,

the topic for today is content!

Ok so what's so great abt the content and that content? I dont know but u have to find the greatness in it urself as being content with what u have certainly makes urself happier.

So here i would liken ur life to a bag. What u have in ur life are the contents in it. So come one day where u are sorting out r bag, and u happened to chance upon the contents of another person's. And the evil part of u starts comparing and let's stop at this point where i tell u something else...

Say u are on ur way to work. U missed ur train and u took 2hrs off ur work, having nothing to do u walk ard the area and u see alot of blue collared workers sitting at kopitiams enjoying their breakfast and u are thinking? Are the cos paying them for their breakfast break? And u are like comparing with ur work where u dont have this kind of luxury.

And back to the topic and isnt that evil, perhaps cruel and unjust? But that's where contentment with life comes in. Maybe with the flexi hours they might be part timers? Maybe they are doing sales? Or maybe they are earning lesser(???) Or maybe they just dont give a damn.

Anyway i apologise for this long post and the contents in it. If u are discontent with it, then i'm sorry just dont compare and be content with it lol

To forget and remember

To forget the bad and remember the good stuffs-

Cliche isnt it? But do we really have this inculcated into our minds?

Take this person, he was a coincincidently involved in the death of a fren, and sentenced to jail for a few years. After his release, do u think u will give him a chance back into the society? But will the rest of the society?

Take another classic example: looking at a couple in a relationship, they look so blissful, perhaps even a slightest chance they will get married, but marred by a bad joke from destiny, they quarreled and the relationship turns sour. At this point, do they stop, look back and reminisce the happy times they had?

And this i relate to equal chances, if u were a boss, would u hire someone who is honest, but has a criminal offence, or someone who has a 'clean' record but appears to be honest? For all u know, that particular employee might be putting up a facade

Meritocracy- rings a bell? Singapore spells meritocracy throughout. But graduates nowadays think they merit their salary after tough times in universities. Furthermore u can have someone who are highly educated, but do not give a shit to the operations of a company.

So is this system driving people to becoming more selfless? Or selfish?

For guys lets look back to NS, look at ur officers and specs, or even urself, why do u really think u deserve ur rank? do u really deserve ur rank? I have seen some, who are pure wayang

For all, look at the society, ur organisation, people are so consume by their salary package, stepping on one another to go all the way up.

For soccer lovers, the cheats who dives, play act, influence the referees

For ourself, a simple question, "will u do something in the long run that will not benefit yourself?"

Or should we call this system monetocracy?

Sidetrack - Anyway this lady from my company she resigned and ytd was her last day, i asked her why and she told me: "不要浪费他们的时间" (dont waste the co's time) very 潇洒 (cool :S)

So lets not have prejudice, take a leap of faith, and give others a chances :D

PS: very bad organisation, no flow of topics but whatever!

Perception-
By Joe

*flips a coin and catches it in my hands* what's ur guess?

Stop and wait a sec, let us look at the world in a different perspective. If i were to twist the rules, making the side of the coin with the flowers to be heads and the side with the code of arms to be the tails, then the result will be different right?

So would ur answers still remain the same if i have changed the rule? But wait, there's only 50% chance of getting this wrong so fuck it, i'm still gonna go for tails (which in this case, its the code of arms)

May i add in another factor, where a rich man is having a bet on the outcome of the coin toss. Being filthy rich, he got no interest in money. His bet, his pinky.. being a sore loser, he influenced the judges to side with his bet (heads) and when the result is called, it was the flower side of the coin and he judges called heads.

Anyway i pity the loser in this case but i must say all of us are a victim of thus barbaric bet. Let me influence ur perpective, this girl, she's really gorgeous, kind and nice and the perfect girl that every man desire as a wife. But what if i told u she's a loose woman? She do drugs?

So do u have the same impression of her? Why the change? What have she done to make u think otherwise?

Upon reaching the finale of this post, i would like u to imagine a person u are fond of, and a person who u have a distate for. Both of them are doing the same thing, both are saying the same thing.. however no matter how much right the person u dislike do, u are still annoyed by that person. On the other side, even the fart from the person u like u say it smells nice.

One last thing.. there are 2 sides of the coins, and the result of a toss may be different depending on the assumed biasness on the situation. So what?

So fuck it, that's life.

Hello bitches, i'm done with my reservice. To summarise, it was real fun and one of he best 2 weeks of my life since working.. i would say the mix of people is rather unique, but being the first ict for almost 90% of the cohort and age ranging from 24 to 32, i would say all of us gel well.

And dunno why we were so garang as my impression of nsmen speaks otherwise lol but still, it was very very e

njoyable with my frens and new frens ard

Ok like what hi ong mentioned, i will write a long post but it was delayed till now coz i was busy and tired lol

Having some conversation with people from other walks of life, and more senior than myself.. i feel that life mold a person in many ways.. they way they behave, speak and think.. even though i look older than i am (i'm still at my sweet 24), my way of thinking is like a 20yo in some ways

Nvm abt that coz this 2 weeks even while i'm enjoying, i lost myself in the thought process and eventually, i realise what life is all abt.. there should be a purpose, a pinch of emotions, abit of ups and alot of downs.. and a whole lot of spontaneity to make life fun

And lastly to senior we ian and ho yie, 我们是海军!!

Another number - That's the song playing on my media player now but i was thinking of what should be the title for this, and it certainly fits in.

Reservice is one hella good time, a good break from work, catching up with good frens though not all. But even a small no. still make me feel awesome. Even though its pretty time wasting (as usual from SAF lol but still just llst for these 2 weeks)

An

d a 2 weeks break from school is over, and it was both good and bad. Good being well a change of gear and the bad is the fatigue playing in

Anyway had a great chat ytd and it had a soothing effect on my mind but whatever... and now is the start of the topic!

As i am now having reservice, there's a void that is left in the office where someone have to move to fill up that void. Perhaps it is a good thing for me to have reservice at this juncture, as work still have to be done no matter what.

Let's take a look at reality, once someone is dead and he leaves a void in this world, the earth still rotates as it doesnt just revolves ard that dead person. Certainly emotions will kick in, playing a big part in the grieving of that dead person or denial of the void left. But would the earth stop rotating? Will other people give a damn? They would be "oh, how sad" and they would move on...

This void, can be filled up by any tom, dick or harry when the time is right, the opportunity is there and when someone grabs it.

I remb my lecturer once told us, or should i say many times, that there was this SIA deputy CEO, he didnt have the opportunity to act as the CEO until one day, the CEO met with an accident and there was this void to fill, and ta da he was appointed interim and then the CEO. He was just another number called to oversee the operations and well, that's life

So, no point brooding over a void where it will be voided when the void is being devoided.

Shoutout to my gay campmates: I MIGHT BE A CONFUSED MAN LOL

The saddest thing that could ever happen

Hello bitches!

Life have pretty much been the same for me. My life is like the sea, going up and down, sometimes calm, sometimes rough. U can see the white washes carassing the silhoutte of the beaches, beautifully moulding the curves, giving it a splendid view. Or the melancholoy of the dark water, flowing aimlessly in the horizon. Even the crazy badass waves, trying to engulf everything in the way lol.

This lead me to think of a chinese saying that goes, Ren Yi Shi Feng Ping Lang Jing, Tui Yi Bu Hai Kuo Tian Kong - "u can trade a bit of tolerance for peace and upon reflection do u see a broader view of the event" i dunno why, but it just come to my head like now

And damn, my Galaxy S had say goodbye~ already. It was an unfortunately event thus i rather not talk abt it but coming to the house will be its brother.

Damn my brain is not functioning well now i cant let the topics flow but hell i will put down whatever i can muster here.

Anyway i'm reading this novel called 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami now and how can i describe this? Its realling captivating, jumping between 2 characters each chapters, and their story starts to intertwine (AFAIK). And i'm thinking of a way to summarise this book in a few sentence or to say it in 5 mins for some reason xD

Anyway do u find it damn annoying when u are with ur fren, and its like u meet them in the train or wherever and u got loads to tell them, or to ask them abt what's going on and u dont really have that much time to catch up? Its like everyone have their own work, studies and stuff. No wonder they always say the older u get the lesser frens u have.

Damn and for myself the journey on the sea is still a long one, trying to navigate to get myself on the shore where i can live a 'normal' life. But there is no shortcut! I will have to complete my education before i can embark on the life that I should be living.

And that leads me to the topic for today which is the saddest thing that could happen in ur lifetime:-
I belive a lot of us had heard inspirational speeches, read motivational posters, phrases and shit but how many of us actually put it in use? I bet i'm one of the 99% who doesnt but that doesnt bother me too.

Having heard this dude talking abt dropping out of college, getting booted by the company he set up was the 'greatest thing that could ever happen in his life', i really thought that it was the greatest thing that could happen in his life.

Why? Think, abt urself, abt r dream job, girl, car, house, ur desire, the hottest se.... ok u got my point. Then think again what are the steps that u are taking to make it possible? What are some of things things u can do to make it even more achievable? Or one more thing are u even doing anything that can make u realise these things?

But if u dont know what u want, wouldnt it be damn sad? U are like a boat drifting in the mibble of the sea, ur ruddles have been torn off, u oars are weathered, u got no direction? and u are just living the life that life is pushing u to live. Damn sad

Having talked abt Mr Jobs, he certainly had some great things that happened in his life. But if it happen to Tom, Dick or Harry do u think they will say its the greatest thing in their lives? Nope, i would say for sure. What Mr Jobs have is the passion to live, the hunger for greater knowledge and the love for the gadgets.

cont-
i forgotten what i have written and freaking lazy to read through the whole text again. but sadly, what if u have something that u want to do, but due to fear u arent pursuing it? i'd say that it is the saddest thing that could ever happen to somebody. even if there are some things that are preventing u from achieving something that u are supposed to, out of fear, rejection, procrastination.... u know the answer

i believe everyone can be like steve, can be like bill, obama, mr lee just whether we can remove those things in between greatness and what we are now

heck i just wanna finish this note so:
If there are anything in life that you have an utmost passion, desire to make it happen, go for it with all your might, even if you've failed, you can tell yourself "well, at least I've tried", because when you get old, you reflect and it might turn out to be the saddest thing that have ever happened in your life....

2012

Hello everyone! Been awhile, but who cares coz i'm gonna pen my thoughts down.

If u have been following my life in some way or another, yes, i am still working as a pathetic accounts assistant. White shirt isnt a choice, it is the only uniform i can wear to work. But whatever, coz today the topic i am gonna talk abt is something that strike a note with everyone i hope.


Before i start off, why do i always write something? Perhaps u will think i like to stir, i dont deny that as the purpose of alot of my notes are for people to think, to reflect upon their life, stirring that tiny bit of emotion in ur brain and it might or might not spark a desired reaction. Its just like an equation, and the relation between one thing and another.

Heck, i'm gonna go into my first point for 2012, which is the agenda of today's note. And it is... the agenda itself

Ok agenda, agenda, agenda. We can call it the goal, the purpose, the motive, expectation and from dictionary.com:
Agenda is - a list, plan, outline, or the like, of things to be done, matters to be acted or voted upon, etc. Oh god my definition is off but let's just get over it lol.

So what's with the agenda?
Actually, i guess i have already talked abt this some time back but i would just like to reinforce this matter. And there it goes again. Imagine urself in a office, dead tired, half awake and suddenly ur boss calls for a meeting, u would be like what?! Meeting again? And u grab a strategic seat that is well shielded from ur boss. Later, ur boss steps (skip the preparations) and he starts off with the agenda of the meeting. Uh huh, by the time i write this, i hope none of u are half awake or dead tired.

Yes, even if its a weekly meeting, there would also be an agenda. Why not we put it into another scenario. Let's say it is a class outing, of course in this case, the agenda of the meet up would be to socialise with ur frens and to catch up etc. Its so simple! Isnt it

Wait a minute, how abt u hanging ard a pub with a bunch of friends and u see this sexy lady at the bar table, and oh my, look at her dangerous curves, her silky hair, long legs, the way she plays with her hair, her fingers twirling round and round and they cant seem to tangle! and the smokey, mysterious glance she throws at u (OMG!) Then u excuse urself from ur fren, tries some stupid pick up lines and ta da, a question from me. "is there an agenda to ur action?"

Ok for my frens who are married, i hope u dont have that urge to go up to talk to that lady and back to the point, yes is there an agenda? I certainly believe there is an agenda, probably something innocent like expanding ur social circle or something that is urm, i would say answering to ur biological's call hur hur :)

So does doing everything have a hidden agenda lurking in the minds? So take this time to think abt it.












Yes time's up. Ok for me, if i am the guy and i see this lady at the bar table and smiling at me, i think my horns will grow and yeah, that's meant (men) for u ahahahah. But on a serious note, and probably the final stride for this note, think abt it, think abt the few indviduals in ur life that have always been there for no matter what, they are always there for u, they scold u for ur own good, they worry abt u, they care for u, they make u angry sometimes but they love u and will always do. But do they have any hidden agendas for doing that?

So the agenda for this note is to, tell u guys that 50/50 is a nice movie, please give it a watch, definitely worth ur 2 hrs or so... hahaha no but seriously is to thank the people that have always been there for me, those who KP-ed me as i know u did it for the goodness of me, my gf who have been my punching bag :p i bet she will agree with me and lastly and finally and most imptly my family, my dad, my mon and sis, i dunno what to say but yes, i love u guys! I cant change the way u are but i just love it the way u are lol!

i just would like to call today an appreciation day

and happy CNY to all, more good years ahead! And higher tax and property prices ahead!

Chiong ah!

Sucking the youth out of urself

Ok, i suddenly thought of this, and i'm only giving myself 5mins to write abt this.

And i'm writing as a capacity as myself, my arrogant alter ego joe is in hiding.

Alright let's go!

Depend. Depend itself has a lot of meaning, depending on something, depends, dependant. Actually all of it mean u have to rely on something, its related to something.

And putting this into the current context. Whether if i pass my law paper depend on the effort i have put in. The effort i put in depend on my interest in law.

Ok so how abt ur lunch tmr? What u will be having depends on what's available, what's ur flavour.

And whether ur portfolio will go up and down is dependant on the outlook of the economy tmr?

And so, i would like to draw a conclusion that for most things that happened, that is happening of will happen, they are dependant on something.

And a question i would like to raise. Would u rely everything that will happen to something? Like maybe i want a cup of coffee on the table and i rely on someone to make it for me?

Or will u make it urself? Thus removing the depending factor from the formula?

Let me quote one more example, and the last one. If u are a lady, and u depend on ur husband to provide for u, u become a yellow face woman and u lose ur value in the society. What if one day ur husband dies? Run away with another woman? Or u urself cant take his nonsense but cant get out of the fix coz u are dependant on him?

So ladies, pls do not depend on men to feed u, for we have nothing to lose except for time and money. For u, u are losing something much more, something called youth.

When u think u are unfortunate, somebody out there might be worse than u

No, today i'm not going to write abt that. But having read this thread on hwz, it makes me feel i'm fortunate enough to not be in that plight.

Have u ever been in a situation that u've nv came across? Perhaps putting urself in a situation that u do not want to be?

Just turn back the time to a few yrs ago, when we were in the army, the BMT, where we would be pushing ourselves doing physical training which we wouldnt imagine doing

Ok, let's quote an example. U taking the taxi. I believe most of us, maybe not for all but i'm guilty to admit, do u really give a damn how the uncle will bring u to the destination? As long as he get u to the place, period? Or oh so this is the way hmmm and the next time u'd know how to get back

When u are looking for a job, do u look for something that u like, easy, but little chance of promotion or something that is real challenging, involves alot of routines that u dont enjoy, but giving some chance of promotion?

Here, i would liken u to the passenger in the taxi, sitting in the comfort zone, would u be actively participating in the way u get to ur destination, or sit back, relax and get to ur destination?

And yes, after beating 2 rounds of the bush, i'm coming to the point: comfort zone.

Take revision, sometimes, we revise and take a break, we go back and take a break again. And when we reach a point we will say ok, that's it for today.

Or maybe when we are jogging, we run for 15mins and u feel pain in ur legs. And u will say, ok, that's it for today.

So do u think in the future, ur boss tells u: i fucking want this and that to be done by today! Will u do and do till a point and tell urself, 'ok, that's it for today'?

Coming to this, i will make another comparison. I will say life is like the taxi journey, we can either get out of our comfort zone to reach our destination, probably ur degree if u are studying, a job if u are a graduate, a flat or baby if u are married or probably death for the rest of us.

Or u can be a couch potato, relax, take 5 and stare at ur phone reading ur frens' fb status ;)

And what i have to say; ok, that's it for today
