Went to my uncle wake ytd, pretty heart-wrenching to see my grandma sitting at one corner. She look so frail and melancholy. Talk to her for a while, it saddens me to see her in her phyiscal shape right now and at times she sounded senile. Who wouldnt be, for she had already gone through real bad times when she lost her husband when the kids are still young, and had lost her youngest son 10 years ago prior to losing her second son now.


My dad's mom (my grandmother) become thin and sickly and acting like a small kid before she pass away. I hate to see elders becoming like this. It scares and sadden me because i cant imagine my parent might one day become like them and for me myself would become exactly like one next time. Why do we have to go tru this? To me it just didnt make sense. Where did we come from and where will we go after we die. If there's life after death, wouldnt it be better that we die when we are healthy as compare to being thin and sickly and senile because when we are dead, we will still be "living" healthy in the other world as compare to otherwise.


I seriously dont understand why people would commit sucide over small matters. If life is a one time love affair with the earth, isnt it so damm precious to throw it away. Its real sad to know that whatever you have work so hard all your life for, you might not get to enjoy it because if you die too early, then that's too bad for u.


Where will we be after death? Will us be forever gone? "Sleeping" for millions of years and losing touch with all our love ones. Why cant we be ard to witness the revoluation of the earth. I would jump into joy if i manage to meet a ghost, spirit of whatever you call it. If we are suppose to be one of them when we are dead, why are we afraid of them, if we will be one when we are dead, doesnt it mean that there will be life after death, wouldnt it be wonderful just to witness whatever gonna happen to this earth and our love ones daily lives.


I'm dead jealous about the prospect of human races able to go for Space holiday, to be able to travel to Mars, Jupiter, just like how all our long ancestors are dead jealous now about us able to travel by planes to different parts of the world for holiday.


Am i able to live that long to see that happening, maybe by then i would have lost my eyesight, hearing, and become too senile to see the world or maybe i would have long been extinct in this world.


I wish i could live life again. There are so many things that i would love to do if i'm able to turn back time.

Finally had a decent rest over the weekend. Feels good to take a break, feeling more re-charge now. =)


Recieve a sad news. My uncle (mom's side) pass away at the age of 40 leaving his wife and three children all studying pri sch. That's reallie very sad. Only know that he was at the hospital ard 3pm and then ard 5 plus, he left the world. Haiz... life is so fragile, unpredictable, and its so so so short.


To me, i feel that Death is not something that is scary, it is scary only because you left behind all your love ones, as well as the things you have work so hard for it all your life. Can u imagine you work so hard for certain things and you cant enjoy the fruits of your labour. That's sucks! Haiz... is there life after death, maybe my uncle can find out now.


What's Life? i cant figure it out, and i guess i wouldnt be able to figure it out soon. It just remind me that i should treasure my loves one always.

Busy busy busy

Its been a long time since i last blog, and i freaking busy nowadays, especially recently.... I guess i said it umpteen times, and it seems to be an usual opening statement to my blog. Sad but true... hiaz... oh well came back from my KL biz trip, and upon touching Singapore soil on Saturday afternoon, went back to unpack my stuffs and off i go for my coaching session. The next day (sunday) i had a roadshow to work, then follow by another three roadshow (mon,tue,wed). I'm going bonkas man! I havent been resting well recently, its work and work and still work. Feeling kinda drainning now. Just as i thought my roadshow nightmare was over, i was inform i got another roadshow to attend on fri! argh! this is madness!
So many outstanding stuffs, so little time, that's terrible!


Have quite a few pics to post but simply no time to do it. That's bad, i hope i can do it soon. Nonetheless i'm getting less patience recently, lack of rest is the main cause i think, ok u might think its excuses, but its up to u to think, shant argue about it. I was having roadshow ytd, The humidity of the place doesnt help my grumpy mood. ok let me get some background information of this roadshow, basically its a co-thingy between FAS and our bank. It was reported in newspaper if u guys did come across it, so yup basically the main aim is to promote our local soccer, Singapore Cup final and promote our bank which is the title sponsor for local football. We have games in this roadshow and one of the game attract huge crowds, that is the kick-a-ball-in-the-hole game. Every hole represent a prize, so if u manage to kick a ball into a hole representing the 20" LCD TV, you walk away with one! (I manage to kick in though but well i'm the bank staffs, not entitled man! BAD!) Everyone has three chances to kick into the hole they want, if you cant put the ball in you still walk away with Singapore Cup tickets and Hari Raya green packet. In other words, you will definately win and walk away with something as long as you participate.


Though we state that one game for one person, i still see ppl trying for many times and they still dare to tell you that its only their first try. We can recognise faces man dumbo!
Kicking a ball can be hard for most of the girls so we actually allows ladies to throw the ball rather than kicking it. I got one guy who came over and ask me this "Oh If a man wear a skirt than he will be able to throw the ball lah?" I was getting agitate by the humidity, crowds and here comes a so call "intelligent" guy popping this kind of stupid qns to me. We already state very clearly that only girls, ladies are allow to throw the ball instead. Doesnt this simple english not good enough to make some sense in his brain. I mean ONLY GIRLS AND LADIES! A man who wear a skirt is still a man, he doesnt become a girl or a lady by wearing a skirt. OH man! is he an idiot or just wanna crank up a corny joke. That's real stupid! I answer him very bluntly and then he ask my other colleague why am i so agrressive with the way i answer. Oh well too bad for him, if he thinks he is trying to be funnie asking this kind of qns, then i'll will answer him in a sarcastic way, that's me, too bad for him.


I also got a lady asking me how to throw, is it using hands!? I was like huh? you mean you can throw with your legs or head. Of cos you throw with your hands. Tell me abt it man, anyone here heard or see anyone that say i'm gonna throw a ball using my leg? i mean you kick a ball with your legs, you throw a ball with your hands, and you head a ball with your head. Isnt it obvious enough when we say throw means you throw with your hands. Oh gosh, ok maybe i'm just impatient, but hey when you got this ppl asking you weird qns when you not feeling that good, you will get this kind of reaction.


I got another guy asking me if he fill up his particular and he dont wanna play the game (kick-a-ball-in-a-hole game) can he get the tickets, then i say ok, can. I then pass him 2 tickets and then he tell me urm.. wait just let me kick the ball first. I was like huh! wat! U told me that u dont wanna play game and now u say u wanna kick the ball first. Isnt the game all abt kicking ball??? ridiculously weird ppl!


Got so many weird, funny ppl ard in Singapore, i guess i shall stop here before it seems like i'm trying to have personal attack on them and then when they come acoss my blog, they threaten to take legal action on me.
Its kinda weird when a personal blog can backfire on you. oh well, my blogs is for me to reminisce of my past, my friends to read it, if other non-invited ppl came across and read it then so be it lah, why get it so complicated by the governance of media act or public entertainment act.


I think soon i shall impose a password for my blog. Freedom of speech in Singapore, think again man!

4 A's in a relationship

Attended a colleague's wedding on Saturday. It was held in Hilton hotel, high tea reception (church wedding). The food was nice, the main event was better. My colleague look so much prettier that day than any other normal working day. Though she is tired due to all the ceremonies, she still looks good with the make-up and in her gown. No wonder ppl always says a gal always look the prettiest on her wedding day. It makes me ponder how dearie would look like when she dresses in gown. Hmmm.... *ponder ponder ponder...


I feel very happy for my colleague, i mean yes its a happy occasion, but its also means a whole new lease of life awaiting. Its always nice to see both loving couple exchanging vows and preparing to live up to all those fairy tales stories. I wish her a happy and blissful marriage! =)


I beginning to think of what i should do during my big day, where will it be held at things like that, ytd when i meet my dearie, i wanted to settle down, but at the back of my mind i know that i'm not financially stable, though we love each other so much, i still feel we should still give each other more times, i have yet to finalise whether should i "chiong" for my career or just have a balance lifestyle, there's still so many outstanding things i have yet to decide and accomplish, Other than that, she's not even classified as adult in the eyes of government(She's not even 21 !) so I guess i should wait until both of us are more prepared. =)


*Good choice i guess, thumbs up ;)


Anyway during the ceremony, the pastor brings out the ingredient for Love, more for a marriage life. I thought it is very relevant and important for any relationship and not just for marriage couple, and i gonna type what i felt for each of the ingredient the pastor mention, and i hope by sharing it now, maybe could help whatever ppl whom are reading this.


ACCEPTANCE
In a relationship, we must learn to accept one another, only then we can go further. Most of the times, we are worlds apart, or should i just simply say we are different, Maybe that's the reason why ppl always say opposite attract, but whatever the case, it is important to accept one another flaws and come out with a compromise.
There are no two identical person in this world, even the character of a twins are different, so learn to accept one another.


APPRECIATION
In a relationship, we should learn to appreciate one another. We should never take for granted of the things our spouse or our partner do for us. A simple "thank you" could even help a long way. As the word implies, Appreciate means "To raise in value or price, especially over time." Therefore the more you appreciate your spouse or your partner, the more important your other spouse or partner would feel over time, nobody would want to feel unimportant in a relationship, so by appreciating, it would help both parties.


AFFECTION
We have to show affection in our relationship, correct me if i am wrong for up to this point in time i still do not know of any couple could survive a relationship without physical touch, as in not even the least of holding hand or kissing. We human beings are all affection creatures. We love to be caress, "sayang', cuddle, hug etc. Nonetheless the more the frequency of affection we show to our spouse, the more they feel loved.


ATTENTION
We've come to the last part of the 4 A's, that is attention. Anyone here hate attention??? No one? of cos, In fact all of us, from young to old loves attention. Sometimes, young kids do certain things to attract their parents attention. How often have you heard your child, your newphew, your close friend's child says " Hey dad (mummy), look at me, i know how to do this, i know how to do that." How many times have we heard, read on newspaper that most juvenile cases are as a result of lack of attention from the parents to their children. Likewise, in a relationship, we are always craving for attention from our partners. A simply sentence like "You look so beautiful in the dress today" or "You look so smart in that suit" reallie makes the day for anybody.
Girls love their partner who pay attention to the little details of their appearance. anybody disagree? i guess almost all bfs or husband in the world agrees with me. Likewise for guys, we also do craves for attention from our gf, because we are just simply human!


So much for the 4 A's. I'm not trying to sounds like a relationship guru or whatsoever, but more like a sharing session. It's also give me a good time to reflect on my own relationship. I guess anybody who understand these 4 A's will reallie score well in their own relationship.


Lastly, Do it not because it is being practise and thus have to follow, but rather do it because you love your partner. For me, I do all the 4 A's because i love my Joanne. =)

Thursday, October 06, 2005

It's a busy day in the morning, was busy opening new accounts, and boss was impressed at the no. of account i help the bank open today. Hmmm... pretty good, must maintain good impression, my variable bonus depends on him! Hahahah....
Anyway was so busy till during lunch time, i got a call to ask to go back office to attend to a customer, haiz.... just cant have lunch in peace man.


After Lunch time was much better, able to switch to relax mood. Didnt fix any appointment and i also not intending to make any calls or fix any appt, just wanna R & R. =)


Oh well, my english speaking skills was kinda crap today, just cant seems to talk properly, half way tru the conversation, chinese or singlish would just pop out. Sentence structure everything was crap too. I mean i'm not that kind that would overly obsessed with the way i speak, but i hate it when i cant seems to express myself clearly with well-structure sentence. I hate myself sometimes, my mind always dont function well if i dont have a proper rest, or when i'm too tired. I think i better train up the side of my brain that control my speech. I want to be eloquent man!


Just recieve news in the late afternoon that i would be off for a business trip next week, not bad for a newbie like me, able to get to go overseas in such a short period in the company. Kinda excited! who's not man if its anyone first oversea business trip. Its gonna be a 3 days 2 night thingy, working + Shopping! I love going overseas for FREE!

I have a meeting with one of my female customer today in the afternoon, mid way during our conversation, she told me i can become a deejay because my voice was soothing and nice to hear. Oh my did i heard wrongly? Why did she all of a sudden say such things, did she get turn on by my voice or wat? Didnt know i got such a powerful voice.... hahaha... oh well that's the first someone ever say such thing, it makes me ponder ...... maybe .. just maybe i should one day become a deejay???
