List of gratitudes

•February 13, 2011 • 1 Comment

So I’m taking my posts to a different note. I thought of doing a list of gratitudes because thinking about them makes me feel good.

Here goes!

1) I’m grateful that I have the best girlfriend who supports me. She understands my unorthodox thinking, she accepts my unconventional view and most importantly, she’s a good lover.

2) I’m grateful that I have a younger brother that I can dote on. I’ve been living as the youngest child over the decade and never had the experience of having someone younger in the family to dote on.

3) I’m grateful that my family is stable and I have a dad to make sure the bills are paid, that the food is always on the table and we can sleep in peace at night.

4) I’m grateful for two sisters. Some only get one or none.

5) I’m grateful to be living in Singapore. In some countries, they don’t have clean water or electricity. Some walk on the streets feeling unsafe. But Singapore makes sure we get the best out of everything.

6) I’m grateful for the chance to be alive. Each day that passes, there are opportunities everywhere.

7) I’m grateful for having the freedom of choice from God. He gives us all this different choices to make and trust that we make good ones.

8 ) I’m grateful that we live in a imperfect world. It gives chances for people to do good.

9) I’m grateful that there is Mcdonalds.

10) I’m grateful to have a wealth of knowledge to explore out there.

and many more.

Memories

•January 29, 2011 • Leave a Comment

I just think that it’s a damn scary thing to have memory loss.

I forgot that gf and I just met yesterday and thought we haven’t met for a long time.

Thought I could finally see her again but I couldn’t. Kinda weird to feel sad all of a sudden. Haha!

The memory came back and I thought of how stupid I was to even felt that way. Or…

Maybe memory loss is a good thing?

Unconventional

•January 27, 2011 • Leave a Comment

Wow, last post was 2 months ago! In a span of 2 months, I must admit to have enjoyed most part of my life. 🙂

So why unconventional? Why be the odd one out?

Maybe the question is, why not?

You see, 90% of us go the conventional way. We just try so hard to compete for good grades in school, sometimes we lick the foot of our teachers, where most of them can’t teach you how to be successful in real life, only in the subject they are teaching.

Maybe the roles of teachers were just to guide you to get the best grades. But for what?

Most of you will say, a good grade ensures a good certificate, a good certificate ensures a good job.

I’m not sure how a ‘good job’ applies to our society now. Perhaps it applies better back at the industrial revolution. Time changes everything. The top scorer in school is not necessary the best. The goal of getting a good job that pays us good money deprives us of an even precious commodity, time.

Truth is, the rich DON’T work for money!

How is it that you see rich people enjoying their time playing golf, jet settling and you wonder where the hell is their money coming from. Trust me, some of them are not half as smart as you. While you get straight As, he/she probably got worse.

But they understand the word, ‘leverage’. How to do more with less. How to earn more money with less effort. If you gasp this important concept, you’re at the right track!

Love make us stupid

•November 27, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I’m on the bus now blogging. Strangely, all of my recent posts are made on a public transport. Awesome iPhone.

I have a thought today that staying within 4 walls for a day changes a person’s mood.

Perhaps it’s the comfort of a home that makes people lazy and complacent. Creativity is killed and productivity stays low.

More than that, somehow it creates a frustration within me.

I have feelings to confess. stupid ones. That in which I’m just gonna keep it to myself.

Does God exist?

•November 1, 2010 • 2 Comments

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.

Barber: I don’t believe that God exists.

Customer: Why do you say that?

Barber: Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.

——- The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.

Customer: You know what? Barbers don’t exist.

Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!

Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.

Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.

Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.

Dont settle

•October 27, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I never thought that i would be blogging on the train again. The last time I did, I finished a post not knowing that WP wasn’t connected at all.

Regardless, I just thought I’ll share something to my limited viewers.

Have you ever want something to work out that bad that you’re willing to do unusual stuffs to get it done?

Stepping into this new relationship recently, I want to set the old aside and make this work with hs.

One of the close to extreme things I did was to watch a horror movie with her? Haha, it may sound like something simple, but to be honest I don’t have a thing for horror shows.

Recently I’ve been reading a book on relationship. What’s wrong with me, seriously. The desire to make things right? Hmmm, maybe. One thing I know for sure, books only take you so far, after reading, it’s the application part that is tough. Don’t worry, I’ll make it right.

Come Sunday, hs will be joining my family to celebrate ah yi’s birthday. I wonder how dad will think of her. No matter how much I say I don’t care about comments from others, somehow I want him to feel that I’ve found a right girl for me.

Weekend is coming and things are gonna be awesome. Cheers everyone!

Bliss

Suddenly last night felt so blissful. I listened and I thought about what you said. I had one of the best moments watching you fall asleep in my arms. Why is everything moving so fast? But still..

Nothing much

•September 29, 2010 • Leave a Comment

Just checked my results last night and it was really bad. However I’m not about to play the blame game on the papers, people, that kind of bullshit.

Perhaps blame myself. At the start of Year 2, I realize studying engineering isn’t gonna make me anything in life. I chose to fail. I chose to focus on business, trading and everything else that is not related to my formal education. Go ahead and judge me if you wish, I can totally understand.

This few weeks have been exceptional. I got to know people from work, some that I wish I didn’t have to work with. At the start of my contract, I thought work is just going to make me pass some time. It wasn’t just that. Guess you can never expect how fate works.

Awesome surprise after work two days ago and I paid back in full with a cuppa yesterday morning.

You, in my dreams and in reality. I feel that it’s gonna be something more than just a dream. I could see what I want in you. Time will tell, for sure. A part of me contains uncertainty while another part contradicts. While the feelings take their time to settle in, I want to make sure that only the best goes in. It doesn’t just take one cup of coffee to win your heart, which is why I give my heart in exchange. A heart that means everything to me.

Being ambitious while some may say stupid, I wonder if my character will compliment with you. Things have been going so well, I don’t wish to take it for granted.

Different reality

•July 15, 2010 • 3 Comments

I was in a hellhole just now as programming lesson was going on. I’ve lost touch in the progress of the lessons that I didn’t know a single shit the teacher was talking about. I turned to my laptop for entertainment.

Many people thinks that I’ve already fallen in the category of ‘hopeless’ students. It’s fine. I’m hopeless at what I’m studying, but studying isn’t everything in life.

It may sound weird, but I admire my ex classmates that made their own decision to leave school and do the things they like. I want to be like them, at the same time I have to respect my dad’s decision to stay in school.

Next year I’m probably gonna graduate with a useless piece of diploma. I don’t believe a piece of laminated paper will bring me anywhere in life. Though I must admit that a formal education is as important in the Information age that we are living in. With or without a formal education, I’m not prepared to get into the rat race.

The rat race is a route most ordinary people will take. Go to a 8-5 job every week, struggling to pay the bill every end of the month. Sometimes even having more months left than the money. It’s a pathetic lifestyle. If I only get to live life once, I’ll never want to go into this lifestyle.

Some people asked me to come back to the reality of life. That the rat race is something we all must go through. But that is not my reality of life, it’s theirs!

Recently I heard my pathetic teacher making a rant about how the success of Adam Khoo came about. She told the class how Adam Khoo became a millionaire at 21. Except it wasn’t even the truth. She stated that,” Adam Khoo became a millionaire because he was born in a rich family and his father placed 10 million dollars in his bank account. That was how his millionaire status came about.”

Bullshit. But I couldn’t be bothered to debate because I might just lose my cool.

If you read about the story about Adam Khoo, you see how bad he was as a kid in the past. But one day he went to a workshop and understood the power of peak performance. He was taught the power of neuro-linguistic. A way he could program his mind to achieve whatever he wants in life. He went early into business and wrote a book about how he succeeded. Then he became Singapore’s youngest millionaire at 26.

I’m not saying I can be exactly like him, but I can be successful in my own trade.

In closing I just want to share one last thing. I rather be taught by successful people in life rather than teachers who still struggles to pay the bills each month and achieving no financial freedom. No offense to teachers out there, but I choose the knowledge that comes to my brain.

The public education system molds us to become employees. Thank God I’m gonna get out of it!
