Times flies, i havent blog for like 4 months, and yes, i'm having a hard time keeping my blog alive.
This time, i have a valid reason, i reallie dont have too much time because if you know my schedule, you would wonder why do i'm always that busy. Nonetheless i remind myself always with the goals i set the beginning of this year. Yes! I'm busy working hard for my goals, for my new year resolution.
And yes after 6 months into Year 2007, I'm very proud to say that i'm on course to achieve my new resolution, that's to earn $100,000
Its a wonderful feeling to know that i'm on course, but that comes with a price. What prices you might wonder. Very simple, once i earn $100,000 means that my income tax will increase tremendously as compare to last year. It's at least $4000 of tax. Now i really feel the pinch on income tax, but that the price you have to pay if you earn more. That's why by reading financial books, it will helps you understand taxation better and you will try to use the legal loopholes to reduce tax.
Anyway i'm happy that my investment is also reaping good profits.
Will update you more in my next blog entry. but for now, i must say YES! I'm going to reach my $100,000 ! =)

Why do we Invest!?
Time flies isnt it... 30+ days has gone for the year of 2007. Its already the month of Feb. I did state the reason why we should invest. Now i shall briefly run through how again why one should invest. If you have decided to do so, you better read and think about it again.
In order to be rich, we need to invest! Maybe i should put it this way, in order for your money to work harder for you, you should invest. But many will say investing is risky. I have to agree with those people, just like I agree with those people who made the remark of saying driving a car is risky.
Driving a car can be risky when
1) If you fall asleep while driving,
2) If you drive without hands (searching for things, using handphone, etc),
3) If you are not sober (after drinking session)
4) No knowledge of driving a car
But is driving a car really that risky. In fact it's not, it really depend on the individual who is driving the car. So if an individual do not have the knowledge to drive a car, it would be better off for him to hire a chauffer (if he rich enough) otherwise taking public transport is a wise choice.
So investing is the same, you must have the knowledge. If you dont have, it will be better off if you engage a professional to help you do it. Then you will reduce your risk.
By putting money in the bank, is it risky? In fact the answer is YES!
I believe many of you will argue with me that HOW COULD THIS BE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Let me just say kindly calm down and listen to me.
Firstly, by putting your money in the bank could be risky because the bank might collapse, close down. Yes, it is rather unlikely, but there is still a slight possiblility. Anyway It did happen a few times in different countries before, so dont strike out this possiblility. For your information banks are all private limited.
Secondly is How much do you earn by putting your money in the account. Not much right isnt it. It will only earn you about 0.125% per annum(for most saving account)and maybe slightly more if the bank has any promotion and / or putting a larger amount of cash in a fixed deposit. If you going to have all your money in your saving account, you are giving yourself a big injustice. Yes, it give you alot of liquidity, because as and when you need the money, you can use it. However do you know of such a thing call inflation? Inflation in singapore is averaging about 3% per annum based on the past inflation rate data for 40 years. Its very high isnt it. However in the recent 2 - 3 years, it is only on an average of 0.5%- 1.5% per annum.
So.... What is inflation ? for the benefit of those who dont understand the meaning, it is a rise in the general level of prices, as measured against some baseline of purchasing power. That means that the value of your money will depreciate over time / over the years. Can you recall that a bowl of noodles cost you $1 during 10-20 years ago. But right now, it easily cost you $2.50 to $3.50 a bowl. That's Inflation!
By putting money in the bank saving account, you are not helping yourself, you are losing out. Inflation is eating up your money. Your hard-earned money loses its value over time. What is $1 today, might not be $1 tml or next year. It is of lesser value. Do you think it is Right? Do you think it is FAIR!? I definately dont think so!
It doesnt make sense that your hard earned money is no longer worth that much. Its your blood and sweat, how can anybody just cut the value of your money just like this. But to be frank, that's the reality of life.
So now, does it make sense to you that by putting your money in the bank is risky? So what can you do so that your money dont lose value but appreciate. The only way is...... to have proper investment strategy.
But how do one invest ??? and investing is still risky despite knowing that investing is beneficial. Knowledge and Information is important. If you know something, you can make a informed decision, a better decision. And like i have mention, engage a professional to manage your investment portfolio would be beneficial to you.
"Since Investing is good, i should invest everything, so that my money would not loses it value. " one might asked.
Although we hate the idea of our hard money would lose value over time, but we still need liquidity afterall, therefore it is very important to strike a good balance between having cash and investing. In fact, by investing a portion of your money, it can potentially earn a better interest, and the interest earned could offset the inflation and gain in value as well.
So think about it. I will cover on the next topic on how one could invest, despit many claiming that they have hardly any money left in their saving account every month. I will also show you some of my portfolio that i am investing.
It doesnt make sense if i dont know nuts about investing and yet i keep writing about investing. Just like it doesnt make sense to listen to a teacher, when the teacher do not understand the topic he/she is teaching.
So stay tune, and get ready to INVEST!

How do you become a millionaire?
The millionaire dollar qns " How do I become a millionaire?"
Now lets list down the no. of ways to become a millionaire.
1) Inherit a million dollars from your passed away parents
2) Win a million dollars from Casino
3) Participate and win the variety show " Who Wants to Be a Millionaire "
4) Queue and pray wholeheartedly that you will strike lottery for a million dollar
5) Buy lots of Singapore Sweeps tickets
6) Work hard to earn a million dollar
7) Try to spot and pick up money on the floor (hoping its a million dollar)
8) Invest your money.
So from this list of 8, which are the likelyhood of us normal people becoming a millionaire?
For pt no. 1, Congratulations! No hard work needed, you are just born lucky! *Claps* How many of us belong to this type of family? If you belong to this type, you probably wouldnt even be bothered to read my blogs as you will be busy party away and driving your porsche, ferrari and picking up hot chicks and having a wonderful time at night.
For pt no. 2, Tell me who can be so lucky!?! Unless you are god of gambler, otherwise if you dont lose until you got no pants to wear you are damm lucky lioaz. If people can win mountains of money from casino, why are there more and more casino coming up in the world!? Why would Singapore suddendly wanna build not one but two casino at one time. Why .. Why.. Why! Are Casino santa clause? Who are the real winner? The Casino or the gambler? Think about it man!
For pt no. 3. How many participant walks away with the top prize " a million dollar " from the show? Yes there's a few. only one handful in the whole wide world. Will you be the one? In fact one of the winner in US is now in jail because he has been in cahoots with the host so that he can win the top prize. You and me know it is so so very difficult. Lets quote places close to our heart, no one in singapore ever wins that game anyway. The qns are so difficult that, is either you know it all or you are so damm lucky that you can answer all the question correctly by guessing (at the latter stage of the game) A million dollar prize money!?! You needs lots of luck!
For pt no. 4, anybody reading this win a million dollar by betting on 4D? I guess whatever you have put in, if you are lucky enough you could win in back at a later stage or at least recoup some of your losses. Of cos there are these minority who just born lucky, they can just keep striking 4D every week. But can their winnings amount amounts up to a million dollar. Its a hard qns because although they do strike 4D every week, but the amount might be less than what the person has placed for their total bet for the week. What bout Toto? Anyway who walk away with a million dollar prize here? Hardly man, in fact, i dont think so. When the prize money snow ball to a few million, and if there are winners for that particular prize. Its normally divided by a lot of winners. So at the end of the day, one person get a million dollar? No way!
For pt no. 5, You have a chance to win $2 million dollars. But seriously, have you came across a person who religiously buy singapore sweeps for at least 20 to 30 years or even more. If yes, then did he/she manage to win that ultimate prize? At least ppl i know didnt, maybe your circle of friends are just luckier. Just maybe ah.....
For pt no. 6, Unless you are a CEO of a company who can get paid millions of dollars a year. Or even a well-known doctor or lawyer by profession. There are also other profession as well, but you and me know that they belong to the elite group, the high income earners. Ask yourself, how many of you guys know of somebody close to you that earns more than $10,000 a month. Majority of us falls into the category of less than $10,000 a month on waged income. With the current income and the current expenditure you have, you get your net saving (good if you still have saving). You do a simple maths, how many years can you save before you reach that million dollar mark? For eg. if you can save a $1,000 every month. You need to save like this for at least 84 years before you reach a saving of $1 million dollar. 84 years ! can you save for so long? hey wait, are you able to save $1,000 every month anyway? Think about it.
For pt no. 7. If you can pick up so much monies then i think you are super duber lucky. Whatelse can i say.
For pt no. 8. Is it possible?? Of course, there every possiblity if you know how to invest. Investment means you take calculated risk in order to generate the returns you required. You heard of people becoming rich through investing dont you. Invest through property, stocks, blah blah blah blah.... But you also heard that people become bankrupt through investing. I would like to point out the fact that, if you invest wrongly, you bound to be at the wrong side of things. People who invest for the sake of investing are not called investing, but rather it is call speculating. And that is no difference from placing bet in casino. You need to be aware of certain situation before you invest, you need to understand before you invest. That's why i said earlier that "investment means you take calculated risk in order to generate the returns you require." Just like when you go for your sch exam. If you dont understand the subject and if you dont study prior to the exam. Do you not think you will fail the exam? It the same for investing. Know the investment instrument, and you will know wat to do with it basically. And all you have to do next is to have "time"
If you look at the top 50 richest people here in singapore, you will notice something that they all have in common beside owning their own company or sitting in very high position of a company.
They INVEST!
So what are the chances for you to be a millionaire from this list of 8?
The choice is yours but the answer is clear for all to see. If you are still confuse, use probablility method to measure each of the listed 8 to see which one give you the highest chances of becoming rich, becoming a millionaire!
Think about it !
Now lets list down the no. of ways to become a millionaire.
1) Inherit a million dollars from your passed away parents

I'm Back with a purpose ...
Its being 4 months since i last blog. I know i have been neglecting my blog. I have been
1) lazy
2) lack of time
3) too tired to blog
Ok yesh, i might be giving excuses, but well that what life is all about isnt it. Trying to find a good reason to bail you out of trouble.
Anyway i decided that i should blog not just about my personal life, but also some of my investment tips and ideas.
I guess blogging is a good platform for me to share some of my investment strategy and ideas to my friends or like-minded people.
For those who might not know, i have been in the finance industry for quite a while. I dare not say that i had seen enough. Everyday is a learning experience for me, i have been gainning valuable experience as the no. of days past. Being in the finance industry, allows me to be more aware of alot of things.
Wanna be a millionaire? Is it that hard to become one?
I strongly believe everybody is capable of becoming one. It take prudent approach of one when they invest their money. It's not just about being lucky, being a millionaire is not about queueing to buy toto, buying singapore sweeps, or gambling away in casino or even participating "who wants to be a millionaire" show. I'm not saying we dont need luck. We definately need luck and we also need good investment discipline and strategies.
I will share with you guys soon, meanwhile i'm in the midst of updating my entries on braces. (for those who dont know, i have been on braces for close to half a year already)
So till then, stay tune. =)

Back to blogging
Its a long time since i last blog. Took a long hiatus from the blogging world. To be frank, i never even visit my own site for a long while. Till that day when my gf told me that my blog is no longer visible. I decided then, its time for me to check it out and do some "blog- keeping". So after many months of complaining from her, it has finally paid off, bcos i'm blogging again. Hahaha..
Its nice to know that some of my friends would still pop by my website once a while to see if there's any update. Many were asking, " Hey your blog no more ah" or question similar to that nature. Well i guess i would blog more often nowadays. However, Dont bank on me too much cos i'm a busy man. Yeap, that's the truth.
The month of Aug would be a pretty busy month for me , follow by Sep, where i will be going to UK. Not for holiday though, but for competition. I guess probably its going to be my last compeition if not probably the last few. I'm aint getting any younger, the fact is that i need to work and train, and that is aint easy. To be truthfull, i hardly have enough time for myself, let alone trainning. So i guess somehow or rather you can see my picture. Furthermore, i need to earn money. I seen ppl the same age as me, getting higher salary. It doesnt feel good man seriously. I seriously thinking of changing job pretty soon rather than staying in my current job. I need a higher pay, a higher challenge rather than staying put with my current job where i dont see myself going anywhere. The only reason why i'm staying put is that i can at least do some weekdays coaching. (Please dont ask me why i could)
Recently alot of concern, issues has crank up my brain recently. Will try to digest abit before i decide to blog about it.
Nonetheless all is good for me so far, and yeaps stay tune.

A long break from blogging.....
Its nice to pen some thoughts in my public diary again. Its been one long time since i last write anything.
Plenty of thoughts but not enough time. Ok, excuses some might say, but well its reallie not easy to sit for an hour to pen down any long journals of my thoughts or whats happening in my life.
I guess those who use to read my blog might have migrated or given up hopes of me blogging again and to me, i think that's great. Dont want my blog to be so public anyway. (read by ppl that i have no associates or detest)
Recently so many blog owner got criticise, got themselves in trouble because of their own blog entires, and i think that just not the way things should be.
Nonetheless will update my recent trips and some pics too.
So stay tuned to Selfestem

Its been a real long time since i update
Taking a look at when was my last entry, it was 25th oct 2005, that means i havent been blogging close to 2 months! terrible!
Alot of things happen, was busy as usual, went to HK in nov, the trip was pretty ok, didnt reallie have any memorable things to cap it all. Nonetheless will revisit HK again. Well the things i bought in Shen Zhen, cant work properly! argh! My 2GB memory card is spoilt! my 4GB flash drive seems to have problem, worse is that i bought another 2 more of the 4GB flash drive. It's so sickening to know that its not in working condition anymore, i dont think i will ever buy any electronic product there. I was still contempleting whether to get an mp3 player when i was over there, luckily i didnt, if not i would have loss even more!
In the month of Dec, i can say that its a month of celebration, i'm not just refering to christmas day, i'm talking bout the no. of things me and my dear gonna celebrate. Yup =)
Oh well still have to thank her for all her understanding, tolerence, love all these period.
I'm gonna have a competition in Feb 06 next year. I dont have a problem with that, but the competition period clashes with 14 feb, valentine day! Now thats a real big problem. Not that i reallie do care abit about it, i mean com'om everyday can be a valentine day, 14 feb its reallie just another advertising gimmick! Companies earn big bucks during that day. I mean i treasure my dearie each and everyday. I appreciate her alot for the things she had done and i do celebrate our anniversaries. I mean on days such as anniversaries, it is reallie special because it reallie just involve the both partner and its a special day because you know how much it meant for both of u. Oh well, as much as we know of this 14 feb gimmick, we as human still falls for it due to influence, blah blah blah, for wadever reason you can think of.
Though gals can say that aiyah 14 feb is just another advertising gimmick, but we all knows gals, their heart just doesnt goes along with their mouth. They doesnt reallie mean what they say sometimes and so yes, guys still need to buy chocolates, flowers, dinners on 14 feb. and yes, i'm now caught in a dilemma.
I told myself that year 2006 would probably be the last year that i'm gonna compete, firstly because my work is piling up and i dont think i can have the time to train for competition in the future. Secondly i would reallie wanna move forward with my career in the future, wait till things are more stablise, then maybe i will start thinking abt sports again, com'om i'm a guy, i need to get my career path settle as soon as possible. Thirdly i'm not young anymore, i need more time to train to condition my body and i cant also afford to keep taking time off and distract my career advancement. So basically i think 06 would probably be the last year i gonna compete before i give myself a break before maybe competiting in the future. Year 2006 would also be lifesaving world rescue (which is equivalent to olympics level) in feb and Commenwealth lifesaving games (which is equivalent to commenwealth games level) in aug/sep. These are the two level i have yet to compete before, and i'm looking to compete in the highest level first before i can put a mini full stop in my sports life before i can concentrate on my career. It would be a wonderful end to my sporting life if i choose not to compete again in future because i know i would have no regrets in the lifesaving sports as i have seen what i wanted to see, and compete what i wanted to compete in the highest level. Its an experience not many can have it. I do not wish to have any regrets just like in my previous sports, Swimming and fin-swimming.
i'm not single now, and i'm in a relationship and i know how much feb 14 does means to a gal and i also do know what is the competition that gonna take place in feb means to me as well, both means just as much to me. For the competition it is something of an olympic level, tell me how many can compete in the olympics and how many can experience from this. To some, it maybe a once in a lifetime thingy. I will be having a selection trial soon, to me, being selected would not be too tough, as i'm one of the better one in that sports, however right now i'm kinda caught in a dilemma. Not just because of 14 feb , but of cos the no. of days that me and dear gonna be apart. I know what she went tru everytime she send me off at the airport and the unbearable feeling of letting me go and the anticipating feeling of waiting for me to come back. All these make me think of whether i do reallie wanna go forward competiting and fulfilling my own personal lifesaving sporting career.
While i'm in a dilemma, someone that closest to my heart wish that i wont get selected for this coming feb trip. To me, i was like ouch! it hurts! it does reallie hurt. To hear that from someone else is already not a pleasant thing let alone it was from someone close to your heart.
I always hear this proverb, "Behind a successful man, there's always a noble woman" This sentence cant go very wrong. I can put everything down and accompany her all day all night, but it is possible? Who is to feed us, who is to earn money, who is to get the things we want in life. To not work hard, and earn loads of money, is it possible?
I know she is sad that i'm going off again, and leaving her behind to wait patiently for my return. I know how it feels to miss someone. I also know how it feels to not be able to celebrate feb 14 with someone you love. i know i know i knows it all. I dont feel good at all too. I miss her just as much whenever i'm away. However that sentence came out from someone i love, someone so close to my heart was something that make me very very sad. I feel like crying, i'm not a crying boy fyi, but i just feel real sad to hear what i heard. i'm speechless... i'm tired... its late, and i'm going to sleep.........

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. =)
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.

Happy Birthday to me!
I cant wait to pen down my thoughts today. As i'm typing in my office, i cant help but to keep smiling when i start to recall the things that happen over the weekend.
I think its gonna be a real long entry....
For those who dont know, it was my bday on Sat. My 24th year in this world. I was in terrible mood few days before my bday. I do not know what's the reason. I was feeling so very down on the eve of my bday. I'm not least excited over my bday, i'm not sure whether is it because due to work stress or what. i was downright moody, even my colleague was like eh.. why u so sianz ah.. yr bday coming leh. I was like er... dont know leh... feeling low, feeling moody, then i say maybe i PMS! =p
Things change when darling came over to my house. I started to feel better. Hmm... maybe i just miss her too much as i havent been seeing her for quite sometimes as she was preparing for her exam. Oh well before going in details what happen after my darling came to my house, let me write something that happen before she came.
Back in office. Things was pretty normal, was quite busy in the morning on fri as i need to attend a roadshow. Anyway was pretty surprise when my close colleague just hand me a bday pressie. It was a Raoul cufflink, didnt expect anything cause i didnt bought anything for him for his bday. Was feeling so guilty. Anyway still very much appreciated by his gesture. Always wanted to get something from Raoul, their shirts are nice, and their cufflinks not too bad either. Well i'm lucky enough to get a Raoul cufflinks from him. Many thanks man! =)
As i was saying, i was feeling kinda moody. I should be feeling damm excited but i wasnt, dont know what got in my mind. Meet customer and go through documents as usual. Then i receieve a call from my another colleague. Asking me whether i'm free and do i have a meeting later or something. Sensing that a imminent meeting was on the card, i just replied that i will be meeting a customer ard 6pm, hoping it would just clashes with the so called 'meeting' as i do not intend to stay back after office hour. I hate to stay back after office hour as it always make me feel sick! Hang up the phone with her and get back to work, not long after, she call my department colleague saying that our boss wanna talk to us, ask both of us to go up to his office and look for him. I was like omg... not another long meeting or some lecture from him. I was like already feeling so down and the thoughts of the meeting with my boss was not making me feel any better.
So off we went, then when i reach the office, i was greeted with a bday cake, and my colleague just say hahaha... blah u one! *oh what a surprise! didnt expect them to celebrate for me as i wasnt a permanent staff yet. Nonetheless was happy that they bought me a bday cake, never have a corporate bday celebration, so this was my virgin experience! hahaha.... ok, anyway after that, it still didnt reallie lift up my mood, i told u guys i dont know what affected me, i just feel low at that pt in time. Anyway if you thought my surprise stop here then you pretty wrong. It was the beginning of the many surprise i gonna get late in the night.
So after knock off, walk to the train station and begin my journey home. Was kinda hoping that my mood will become better when i meet my darling later. Well i was right as i really did feel better when i see her. So i think her presence reallie help! =) i wonder whether is she the potion for my mini depression. hahaha...
She told me beforehand that she wouldnt be staying overnight on fri, but she will doing so on sat. Was kinda feeling sad but well was thinking at least one day is better than nothing. Anyway back at home, we just chit chat, and do our normal stuffs and as usual i always enjoy her company.
Then when the clock struck twelve midnight, she say its kinda late and said she has to go home. Of cos i was sad as all along i was hoping for her to stay over. Nonetheless i know her own curfew back home so i didnt say much and get ready to send her home. Little did i know she has things all planned out.
Suddendly she just call me to come into the room, not sensing anything wrong despite noticing that light was not on in my room, i just walk in. I was so surprise when i was greeted by a small cake that have a lighted-candle on it, and then the soothing tune of happy birthday song sang by my darling. I was touched, really lost for words at that moment. It was such a surprise and i just love that moment. After that she feed me with the small piece of bday cake. I was expecting to send her home after finishing the cake, and then she told me she is staying tonight. I was like wahahahah.. yippe yeah she's staying ! and then i scream hor! you bluffed me! and exclaim that she's gonna get it from me! hahahah... nonetheless i'm just so overwhelmed by the surprise. after that she handed me my bday present, it was a snoopy boxer, which has snoopy picture in front and the words "I'M THE KING OF THE HILL!" behind. It was a lovely boxer! very nice!
On Saturday, which is my bday, we just laze ard in my house and then i went coaching late in the afternoon. When i come back, i was being told that my sister present is hidden in my room. I manage to find it and also find another present from my darling. I was pretty surprise because i thought my snoopy boxer was the only present from her, little did i know she got another present for me. I was very happy and touched. It's not the quantity or the cost of the present, but rather the thought of it. I believe she spend a huge fortune on my bday and the things is that she is very broke now. I wonder where she get the money to buy the present despite being so poor and broke. i'm happy, touched and at the same time guilty by all the things she has done and spend for my bday .
I couldnt thank her enough, she made my day, she made my big day such a memorable one to remember. After the cutting cake session late in the night, i open my presents from my parents, my sis and my darling. Almost every single year i will spend my bday with my family, call me a family man, whatever you like, my family, parents is the most important thing in my life. Darling dont be jealous by the statement ok, because i have regard you as part of my family. =)
Guess what i receive for my bday. You guys wouldnt believe, i recieve cufflinks from my parents! my darling also give me an imported cufflinks and if you guys read earlier my colleague also give me a cufflinks. Hahhaha... all of a sudden, my cufflinks collection expanded by so much! =) Ok, if you think it is alright, 2 weeks before my bdays, i just imported two more sets of cufflinks! all of a sudden i am flooded with cufflinks! hahahahah
It was a memorable bday for me, i could not thank my darling enough for all the things she done for my bday. To top it off, she sang this song "FOREVER LOVE" to me. What a lovely song, the lyrics was especially sweet when she sings it. I think i'm gonna get diabetics soon. =p
I think its getting too long, and i need to get back to work. Have upload the song and will post the pics soon. =)
*Gleaming with joy now =) lalalalaaala........
