Tribute

This blog entry is a tribute to Matt's mum who passed away on last friday 12/12 aged 51. i have many fond memories of the times i spend at matt's house gaming/overnight/chitchat/playing over the years since J2. Hmm his mum is always so friendly, nice, caring and giving. Quite sad tt she's gone now when she's still so young... sigh.

Well i guess this is a reminder that life is short, tt we should always cherish e moment to do wat we wanna do and spend as much time with family/frens when we can. Pursue our dreams and live life with no regrets..... Enjoy life to the fullest and make a difference (good) to the ppl around us.

Maybe this is the reason y in these recent months there have been a change in my attitude towards life/lifestyle. Learning driving has been a very fantastic experience for me, buying the things i think i deserve to have that i tot were too ex last time, going out for fun activities and trying out new stuff all the time, spending lots of quality time with family/frens and create those special memories which will last a long long time. =)

Wrong choice of industry???

This article is interesting. Haaa

Have u

ever went to work n feel that for the entire day u dun feel like doing any work? Haa. That was exactly wat i felt today and also exactly wat i did today................................nothing. Got quite a bit of stuff to do but totally not in e mood = heck... Haha do u guys feel this way sometimes?

simple quote

i like this quote its super nice.....

"If you possess the ability to learn from your mistakes, then failure is literally impossible, because each failure brings you closer to perfection"

Spate of poor health

Took urgent leave from work today, hmm wasn't feeling too well cause kena slight fever again. Seems like i didn't realli recover from the acute bronchitis which i suffered during the month of May. Already sick for 4 times in 5 months. Had an overdose of antibiotics then n didn't realli recover so guess my immunity system is not in good shape. Morale of e story? Dun take so much antibiotics. LoL.

Drove into the heart of bukit timah with minjie and ys that day to fetch ys to his fren's house there. Got kinda lost and went past quite a number of houses. Singapore really got a lot of rich folks man, some of e houses looked freaking nice, big and realli............... out of imagination. Even went past 1 house that was like 4-5 storeys high. =S

A lot of ppl say u dun need to be rich to be happie, well i guess u can be rich and happie at the same time right? The belief of dichotomy between rich and happiness seems to be a limiting belief. Seems like the richest rewards that life can offer one is when one is willing to bear the risk that accompanies life's biggest decisions. Such as being able to bear the risk of quitting a stable job to pursue one's interest in other arenas. E risk of confessing your love that special person can be very high, but the rewards can be worthwhile. E risk of doing something different, something special that's not mainstream and could be subjected to many disapproving opinions from frens/family. Well, life seems to reward those who tried, those who take risks and those who aren't afraid to bounce back from failure. Easier said than done of coz, there's only a handful of ppl who will eventually make it. We only live once this lifetime, have you taken your fair share of risks to pursue what you realli wan in life? =)

*I might be able to afford the smallest house in bukit timah if i work as an engineer for 30 years. Sad right? Haha."

Time for a car?

i'm realli giving a serious tot to getting a car, i realised that its realli important to be able to enjoy the finer things in life. =) mazda3? Keke.

Settling for second best

i also dunno how i got started haha went and read thru all my 2005 blog entries man. So much memories!!! =) wah i realise that time i realli think a lot abt life man. Of coz nowadays i dun think so much liao la, its work, reach home rest, sleep, then work again. Haaa. Lol. Haa looking through all e 2005 entries, i think i've matured a lot since then and have become mentally much stronger!

I was just talking to miaoling the other day...... and telling her how i feel. "Nvr settle for second best, there might be room for regret later on in life." We have to remind ourselves that we deserve and are worthy of the best things in life for ourselves and fight/work hard for those things....... Hmm but she didn't realli agree la, 80% she reckoned is good enough. Haa but for me only 100% will do i guess, i wanna live a life of no regrets. =) How about u?

negative thinking

i'm starting to feel sick of thinking negatively........ i mean not that i'm thinking negatively persistently but i think everyone is bound to have some extent of negative thinking daily on the different aspects on their life.

i'm also getting sick of thinking abt wat i can't do, or can't achieve or got no time for........... it seems to be like a habitual excuse that's very convenient for me.

I've made a decision to think not abt wat i can't achieve but wat i need to do to achieve my goals, who i need to improve to become to get to the finishing line. And how to prioritize my commitments to make out the time i need.

I've made a decision to consciously think positively every minute of my life from this moment onwards! =) how abt you?

wednesday afternoons

Ever since my work life in night shift started, wednesday afternoons have took on a special meaning in my life. Haa perhaps its equivalent to most ppl's sunday night before the next week of hectic work. Its also the time of the week where i'll feel more sentimental and nostalgic, dun ask me why i'm not sure also. Haa

This will be my last free wednesday afternoon as this week will be my last week in night shift. Guess its time to reflect on my past 6 months in night shift, which has probably been the most character shaping time period of my life other than in the army. Firstly, i wanna say sorry to many of frens whom i've met less or neglected over this period of time with my weird and abnormal work schedule timings. Its been very demoralising not to be able to attend much or even any class outings on friday nights. Its been demoralising that i'm unable to play soccer every week with my frens.

This also signals the end of my stint in my company as a manufacturing engineer. i believe i've realli learnt a lot in this role esp in night shift where there are like 20 tons of things to look at and prioritize and keep my shift moving ahead positively. Not to mention getting "F" many times over in the day because of screw-up incidents. Haaa. Overall i think i did picked up many lessons in man management, multitasking abilities and prioritizing my tasks and projects which will remain with me for a long while i guess.

WELL, I'M BACK IN DAY SHIFT SOON!!!!!! SO IT MEANS i can go OUT every night to meet FRIENDS!!!! haa hopefully i dun haf too much OT to do. =) well at least i try to meet up right? n my work timing is a bit more normal now. Haa. Cheers! Looking forward to meeting up with friends often, play soccer on sat, class outings and many many more!!! =D
