always follow your dream

2009-05-13T12:38:00.000+08:00

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor.

This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.
Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

singtel 1626

2009-05-08T20:29:00.002+08:00

"NO, i dont know sir." she said
"hmmm, then do you have any comcenter's contact no that i can call and check out myself"
"NO, i dont have it with me sir." she said
"is there anyway you can help me check it out?"
"NO, i dont know sir." she said
"how about any emails that i can ask about my prob?"
"NO sir, i really dont know" she said " please go down to the comcenter and they will advise you accordingly"

i totally speechless. and hang up the phone in anger!!! how can a cso dont know anything? and dont even bother to help me check it out. they dont even have tel no of biggest singtel branch. omg.

"star"

2009-03-22T16:14:00.003+08:00

these days seems like an "in" word for me. what stars really do? stars shine.

and it seems like everyone is a star. we touch the lives of our friends and love ones cos we shine upon them. they shine our life as well.

"the challenges are high, the dreams are new. dare to dream. dare to try. no goal is too distant. no star is too high. just get going."

i would consider myself as a superstar! hahaha. what star are you?

Jerry Ong

2009-03-19T23:10:00.008+08:00

is been a long time since i cry.

These few days i was in the wake of my grandpa, Jerry Ong. he was a catholic. church members, priest and relatives gathered everyday to pray for my grandpa.

and today was the funeral itself. we walk a distance with my grandpa before we proceed to the church to pray for him. soon after, we were at mandai awaiting for the cremation. as we present him flowers on his coffin and take a look at him one last time. tears gathered rapidly around my eyes. there was this sudden sadness fill within me. "this is the last time i going to see him" i thought to myself.

as he was push into cremation. my uncle and aunt, my cousins and sister, my dad and i couldnt hold our tears as we all begin to cry. that point of time, i truly felt and understand how is it to lose someone dearly.

"the best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart." - helen keller, 1880-1968

it wasnt a good feeling. as we went back after the ceremony. i couldnt stop thinking. my tears couldnt stop. i couldnt stop wondering: "have i treat my love ones good enough and with respect when they are still alive.."

fifteen of march, two thousand and nine

2009-03-16T09:40:00.006+08:00

marks a very special day.

Both Jerry and Desmond were favoured by the God and have began a new yet different journey.

2am in that morning, soon after i have prepared my clothes for my cousin, Desmond's ROM later that day and just ended a msn chat with someone that has shaken me, my dad's phone rang. it was my uncle who called. my dad and i knew what the call is about. our suspicions were confirmed after picking up the call. Jerry has pass away.

Jerry died with a smile on his face after defying death so long. he fulfiled his final wishes; to see his new granddaughter-in-law and all his children. i guess it was a relief for Jerry after living with half stroke for 6 years and recently, diagnosed with terminal stage of stomach cancer.

Jerry lived til a ripe old age of 85. he was a man who grabs every opportunity and live life to the fullest..

at the same time. i am wondering about myself, having missing countless opportunities as i'm afraid to pursue it. what does living means to me?

i know i need the girl that has shaken me up. how?

2009-01-25T01:29:00.003+08:00

with 9 teachers was a fun one where we play 3 matches. 5vs5 twice and 2 on 2 once.

harry

2008-09-07T01:52:00.003+08:00

A Primary School teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what is your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the Primary 1. My sister is in Primary 3 and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in Primary 3 too!"

The teacher took Harry to the principal's office.While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal that the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the Primary 1, and behave. The teacher agreed. Harry was brought in. The conditions were explained, and Harry agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9"

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Harry: "36"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a Primary 1 student should know.The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Harry can go to Primary 3."The teacher says to the principal, "May I ask him some tougher questions?"The principal and Harry both agree.

Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two?"
Harry: "Legs.

"Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"(The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!)
Harry: "Pockets."

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?
"Harry: "Pants."

Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, and it is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"(The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...)Harry: "Coconut."

Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
Harry: "Bubblegum."

Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and dog do on three legs?"(The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...)
Harry: "Shake hands."

Teacher: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' sort of questions, okay?"
Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do." Who am I??
Harry: "A Tent."

Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first." What am I??(Principal was looking restless and a bit tense)
Harry: "A Wedding Ring.

"Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, I feel good." What am I??
Harry: "A Nose.

"Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver. What am I??
"Harry: "An Arrow."

Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put this ass in Primary 6 ! I got the last 10 questions all wrong myself."

hero

2008-07-21T11:51:00.004+08:00

previously about the adam khoo's talk. he ends with mariah carey's "hero"
the lyrics is fantastic, so is the singer

chorus
and then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
so when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

popiah

2008-05-04T12:25:00.004+08:00

the night before was a celebration birthday for wendy!! she had like 3 days of celebration at either pub or club before that and guess what? we went to a bar again for some drinking and games. lol....that explains her deep eye rings. me and xp was brutally injured (forfeit) by the games we played. (oh man, when girls hit, they mean biz). aniway happy birthday!!

wake up early morning to the wet market to buy ingredients for the popiah...my first time goin by myself. the stall holders there are friendly (becos alot of stalls selling the same thing) except for one dried food store (i was kena tok! 200g grinded peanut for $2!!).

national achiever's congress

2008-05-01T21:11:00.003+08:00

this week is pretty much the nac or rather national achiever's congress which is held at expo over a 3 day period. 9am to 9pm.

various speakers including blair singer, joe girard... were on stage. they were like motivational speakers which talks about topics like.. sales, ecommerce, self improvement, biz strategies etc

very interesting and captivating.. but near the end of every speech, they will sell/push their products(books, audio tapes, online learning, seminars, lessons etc). prices like sixty-nine ninety five is not $69.95! it means $6995. they sure have a way to say numbers in a beautiful ways!

but nevertheless, it was a fruitful trip learning from the gurus who already make millions. i met alvin and beng over there. i was talking to beng and he said, "the ticket cost 230. i have pick up 3 good points from the speaker and it's worth it!".. true enough, picking up a few good points and use it. it certainly helps ur biz to grow!

way back into love

2008-04-07T02:44:00.001+08:00

This song is a simple way of saying what's inside of your heart, when you find someone new and you think that person could be "the one" - but you've been hurt so many times before that you're afraid to move forward without some encouragement from this new love in your life. Once the encouragement is given, then your heart opens and you're free to love again.

rich man's world

2008-03-24T03:49:00.001+08:00

An American businessman was standing at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.

"How long it took you to catch them?" The American asked.

"Only a little while." The Mexican replied.

"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" The American then asked.

"I have enough to support my family's immediate needs." The Mexican said.

"But," The American then asked, "What do you do with the rest of your time?"

The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds you buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats."

"Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the consumers, eventually opening your own can factory. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"

To which the American replied, "15-20 years." "But what then, senor?"

The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions." "Millions, senor? Then what?"

The American said slowly, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos…"

thanks marcus!!

Last week was a interesting week though.

Attended new product launch. it is named 3G(eneration). you put a certain sum for 10 years and gets monies payouts for your rest of your life. sounds like annuities? not over yet! it gives life protection too! and your children will also get payouts for life! your grandchildren will even get a huge huge payout at the end of it! what else?

the launch ended with a inspiration speech by dr andrew goh.
"be careful of what you think. because you going to get it anyway"

sunday at tcc citylink. comfortable. reading while waiting!

the week rounded up with supper yet again with viagra and apple. small bowl noodle, frog leg porridge, satay and many more

fall and get up

2007-11-04T22:23:00.000+08:00

from rich dad poor dad page 162.

"we learn by making mistakes. we learn to walk by falling down. if we never fall down, we would never walk."

"the same is true for getting rich. unfortunately the main reason most people are not rich is because they are terrified of losing. winners are not afraid of losing. but losers are. failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success."

micheal jordan once say "i have missed 10000 shots.. i was blocked 5000 times and thats why i succeed!"

how true. but most people are afraid of stepping out. everytime they face rejections, failures or losings, they stop and never moved on..

thanks dawei for the book!

today my fave color is pink, for once. something that i found so familiar, so close to was handed to my hands by the document clerk. that shiny, shimmer gorgoeus little pink card thats proves me a member of the republic of singapore was handed to the armed forces on september 7th 2005.

exactly 2 years i have not seen the card that capture the rounded face when i was in primary 6. and today onwards, no more booking in/out. no more drawing of arms. no more wearing like a chirstmas tree.

as good as gold

from now onwards life is goin to get corporate. is about self determination to get what you want.

final piece

2007-09-04T22:14:00.000+08:00

batches of guys (ssc 4, 5, 6, 7) i have seen shaking xo's hand itself and receiving the plagues since june 14 06. that date i posted in itself. so call today itself is the plague presentation ceremony for everyone who is goin to ord this coming friday itself. and of cos, i finally one of the recipient itself while others have to sit and watch and of cos, so call wait for their freedom day to come itself.

one year and three months in this unit itself leaves me full of memories. it was a good experience or so call journey itself where i know frens, knowledge (chao keng), skills (sia keng). nevertheless so call being scolded (csm), punished (csm), compliment (never) or praise (never) itself.

lol. final note: i jus hope no one in tds itself will run to jurong point while on duty and so call "rambo" cos i go there freq. anyway it was an honourable and pleasure experience itself working with de platoon.

10 more days to ord

2007-08-28T17:47:00.000+08:00

ten days to ord is really something to look forward!!

september the 7th, 2007. freedom from unwanted stress and responsibility.

5/1 gathering!!!

2007-08-26T02:21:00.000+08:00

formed on monday, 4th january 1997 at css (commonwealth secondary school), it is the most notorious, well known and heard class css has ever seen. 5 years in css has seen tons of relief teachers in and out, classmates come and go, stunts played and through.

the gathering happened several hours ago was a bbq at pasir ris park (fyi everyone stayed in west and north area.)

what else can be more fulfilling then having a gathering of long time frens. knowing each other for 10 years and 8 months and 20+ days!! and counting!! everyone has change for the better (obviously). mates starting to have their own family, kids and career.

andrea, sharifah, farik, xiangpeng, roy, robin, zhenyue, shawn, kengkok, wanting, reena, derrick, shengfa, nicolas (organising), daniel (organising), jack, simon, ivan, mrs catherine yeo (history teacher for sec 1 and 2), andrea's parents (css parent teacher network) and me attended. (list not included partners). ard 20 others din make it though!! lol who can list out the whole class?

will update more pics from kengkok and andrea when i got it!!

usa sub prime causes panic short sell

2007-08-10T23:57:00.000+08:00

index of all major stock exchange all over the world. when was the last time you seen this?

"The Bank of Japan injected one trillion yen (US$8.5 billion) into the money market while Australia's central bank pumped US$4.2 billion into the banking system, more than twice the daily average. " it still falls 406.7

"The European Central Bank Thursday pumped a record 94.8 billion euros (US$130.2 billion) into the eurozone money markets while the US Federal Reserve made a more modest US$24 billion available to US commercial banks. The ECB's massive injection was even more than the bank pumped in after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks which roiled world financial markets. "

"The BoJ's injection was smaller and by no means unprecedented, but it was up from 400 billion yen the bank offered money markets on Thursday and the highest since it put up one trillion yen on June 29."

"Singapore's central bank said it stood ready to inject cash while South Korea's central bank said it would "promptly act" if needed. "

despite injecting so much money to so call stop the drop, the market still went crazy. i believe it is just starting but with government central banks joint prevention efforts and very positive economic growth during the first half of the year will certainly offset the uncertainties this period.

chung tze bday

2007-07-23T02:02:00.000+08:00

one of my frens bday. gathered at his house for steamboat. tons of glorious food, cake, durian and one special game - pictionary - my spelling sucks but thats not the point.

it is a boardgame up to 4 teams. which model after "win lose or draw" gameshow vice versa whatever. which after every dice move. you are require to draw a card which got 5 categories(seperate by color - red is free for all, yellow humanthings, blue is actions etc etc.). if ur square u reach is say red, you have to draw out the word/s. only ur team(unlimit ppl) can guess unless is red category.

is a nice and interesting game. there is a similar online version of it. the isketch. try it out!!

fruitful day

2007-07-20T12:18:00.000+08:00

last night was an all guys, one night in geylang with apple cao and viagra luah. it was superb. been months since i last went ...woohhoooo...shiok man..

delicious right?

i accidentally did something i should say really sinister but is freaking comical....if ur been to geylang there is this one old lady asking for money. my fren says in hokkien no spare change to give..immedately i drop one twenty cent coin on the table as i am trying to turn my hands away and hide the coins. !#$%^&*(. evil me and my cruel frens..i guess the old lady curse and swear us!!

anyway earlier. I met one of the land bankers about land banking investment. he tells about a couple of ways u can invest in real estates. is a new concept for me. as instead of investing a ready built land i.e buy houses, condos etc. you are buying a plot of high prospect land beside developing town or growing cities. after some urban planning in by the expertise team. Is a matter of time say 4 - 6 years, developers see potential in that land and buy over at high price. it is a capital guaranteed investment with a returns of 9 -14 compound interested rate returns per year!! it could double to even triple ur investment amount!

i will further discuss the compound interests rate in another blog which i going to set up real soon. it is a investment-know-how blog which i be sharing financial terms and different type of investments, loans, insurance etc.

whatever featuring baby ally
