Happy lunar new year!!!

A very happy lunar new year to all of you. Haha, i haven't been blogging did i? Well, this lunar new year was quite boring for me. The family wasn't as close as ever. I didn't even see a full family reunion this time round. However the good thing is, as usual, i ask my cousins about their life and found out alot of stuffs.

One main intersting topic would be my younger cousin gerry. He is really a mini giant. He is 100+ kilograms and very tall. Don't scold me a backstabber just yet. I'm about to compliment him. He told me alot of girls like him. I was startled initially. However, after further conversation and analysing, i believe him. He has this one good character which i have to admit, i don't have. He is very thick skin.

He is really the joker among any clique he go out with. with his funny actions, words, people who are beside him, would surely laugh. That's the reason why girls will like him. Looks are just the first impression. After knowing each other for long, I believe the character of a person is more of a criteria then looks. I got amazed by my cousin. I will learn from him and develop such characteristic!

This is a short post, don't have mood to blog nowadays. Anyway, i hope i don't sound desperate. I'm not in a rush to find a girlfriend. It's just I want to experiences true teenage love. My mindset is already very adulthood. I hope it's just not too late yet. Alright, shall blog again soon.

Takecare all.

Pictures!

For the first time, i'm going to post pictures in this blog! How wonderful! Well, i'm going to post my clique's photo! I must say, Pixon12's photo capablility is really awesome. Good quality! It's been awhile ever since i last blogged. I was lazy then, hahaha.

i was also quite busy with work. I had some surprise when i went out with the clique on saturday. Really, it was a surprise. Marcus will be going down this tuesday to appeal for Hnitec in Bishan ITE. I hope he can get it. It's good to have another partner in the school. =]

Recently, i have some family problems too. My oldest sister, she still can't get back up, It's been worst ever since she went Dubai to work. I understand that having depression isn't any kidding matter. However sometimes, the fact that she acts childishly really pissed people off. No matter what, She is always my sister. We as a family have to be united and stand for each other.

It's the first time i seen my father, weeping so pitifully in front of my family. I got completely stunned and disappointed. Stunned because my whole life, i didn't even seen him crying so pitifully, not even when my grandparents died. Disapointed because after my rebellious saga, came my sister's issue. My parents are always so worried for us. They have reached a age whereby they should have retired and enjoy life. Needless to say, they are definitely not enjoying their "retired" life.

Alright, Enough of talks. I shall leave my Philosophy talks to next post. i have some things that i haven't thought about, and i'll talk about it once i have think through. =) Let the pictures do the talking!

Chinese new year is near.

It seems that i didn't change enough yet. my character building was a complete fail. My mouth is still as sharp as drills. Nevertheless, It's a new month, i've set my new targets. One would surely be character building, another would be weight management. I know i did lost weights, and it's quite amazing on how much i have lost in just 1.5months. But i feel it's not enough.

i really hope when school starts, i will be around 80 or even 78. Perhaps some may say it's not healthy losing weight this way, i care too much on my appearance now. I really do not want to go back to my old life. Escaping from reality, Feeling inferior to others, etc. I'm no doubt, still shy towards girls that i don't know. I'm not afraid to say that. I still felt inferior, lack of confidence. I tried asking from advise from some of the girls i previously known. Hopefully the advise will help me overcome it.

Anyway i was blog/facebook hoping today. I saw so many of my oldmates enjoying their teenage life. I really felt jealous of them. The way i used to treat them, it's really what i deserve now. How am i going to change my life? Am i really in full control of my life? I think i am, though there is tons of factors that you can't control that will affect your life. However, i will try to make it as good as possible.

I have some viewpoints that i want to share it here. I don't know previously did i mention it here. I'm quite into philosophy now. I'll show 2 simple examples here. There is one batch of 'O' level students that successfully applied for cashiers in fairprice. It's good. However surprisely, their parents came to complain regarding their break time. They complained about fairprice ill-treating new staff, didn't give them any time to eat. This clearly shows something.

It not only shows how protective parents are now. It also shows how parents and children's viewpoint are completely different. Let me elaborate further why. After one day or two day of work in fairprice, the child got back home. His/Her parent asked regarding what did he/she had for lunch. The child answered nothing. Parents would surely ask more, did fairprice not give you any time to eat? Did they ill-treat my child?
Perhaps the child can give a simple excuse, which is, i didn't eat because i was too busy/no time to eat/ i don't know whether i can eat/.

A simple remark, yet the next day, the parents came down and complained. How stupid can the parent be? Don't they know by doing such actions, they will make the child lose face in front of all the colleagues. I know they want the best for their child, they care for them. However, such actions are purely stupid. It really would hurt the child's pride.
Guess what, One of the new cashier's excuse on not to eat was because she usually take 1hour to eat, therefore 30minutes(cashier eating time) wasn't enough for her, so she choose to skip.

How ridiculous can that be. From these cases, i analysis and came up with a conclusion. Parents and teenage's viewpoint are very different. Although in parent's viewpoints, they want the best for their child, but they didn't think in their child's shoe and do things without much thinking, resulting in hurting their pride. In a teenage's viewpoint, sometimes when they are questioned by their parent,they thought coming up with a stupid excuse will do. They think it will solve the questioning. They didn't think of the chain effect that they caused. Parents may start question about responsiblity, why was my child ill-treated? Whose responsible for it? I think if both group of people could stand in each other's shoes, and think what did they do those actions, and learn the ability of thinking each other's viewpoint, then it would be perfect.

Well, the above conclusion is based purely on the example. I'm sure this is the going trend in parent's way of guiding their children. I have already developed the kind of ablilty to think on my parent's point of view. i know my life with my family will be better then ever. have you develop yours? x)

Goodnight.

Woot lovely

Cool, I'm using itouch to blog. It's been long since I last blogged. I have a whole lots to mention here. The reason I didn't blog and am using itouch to blog is because my com is spoiled again and this time my motherboard is spoilt. This means wastage of money again lol. This is quite infuriating! damn! Initally I wanted to wait till end of march before repairing the desktop, however recenty I just bought my pixon12 ad u want to test out the system for any errors as the 1 to 1 exchange is only valid for 7 days.

This is actually outrageous. Everytime I want to stop computer usage, something would crop up. I know all this are just excuse and I still lack the determination to do it. Anyway I will definitely cut down my usage on desktop. Okay now to the pixon12 they I bought. I"m quite delighted. I saved $150 bucks for pixon12. Let me explain why. I found out that buying it online only cost 398 while buying it in any retail store cost $548. Because I wasn't 18 and above, therefore I wasn't allow to deal it online. I then complain about such loopholes in the system and so on. Though they have their stand too, but I won in the end. Consumer pawns! They honoured me the price. Comparing itouch and pixon12, in terms of the touch sensor, itouch is definitely the e
clear winner. Pixon"s camera is godlike though.

Now regarding school! I got posted to bishan ite business admin. Initally I wanted simei ite no matter what. However after sorting out my thinking, I accepted it. I'm quite elated too. Now that everything is good, I shall treasure every moment of my life! My next post shall be about some philosophy in life. I realize some things and thought about it. I shall end it here. Typing with Itouch isn't that great. Goodbye all. Hopefully the next time I blog will be with computer!

Lalala, Lalala!

I'm back from jogging! Previously i heard this customer who saw me jogging frequently on the field track near my house. He gave me some advise and told me that when i'm jogging, i use my mouth to breathe in, thus making my throat extremely thirsty and feel uncomfortable. Well that's true and i heed his advise and it's good. I won't feel uncomfortable, however there is one issue. My pants are falling! LoL, that's actually good news huh? hahahaha

He also told me to run alternative days instead of jogging almost everyday. I find that quite convincing and good. My body jolly well needs the rest and alternate jogging days doesn't mean i will slim down slower, it will however allow my leg to rest. These beloved customers, they are the ones who never fail to brighten up your day no matter how bad it was.

It's been one month ever since i started jogging, the results are clear. I'm slimming down, even though i took rest in between. I lost 6 to 7 kilograms for the month. There is this saying in chinese, "台上十分钟,台下十年工。" training 10 years of hard work, just to perform for 10minutes. In my case, i have heard quite alot of people saying i have slim down. The hard work that i put in, it's jolly well worth it. Though it's hard, but it's really worth it. Those comments like
'you slim down already'. It really makes you feel satisfactory, boosting your determination, pushing you harder.

I know when it comes to Chinese New Year, i will prove to my relative that i meant what i mention. Determination wins all. If you put in the effort, there will be results. I'm quite sure this will be true for most of us. Okay, enough of my weight management stuff already. Let me blog about another issue which i'm quite concern about.

When i went to work yesterday, i worked morning shift. I had a talk with one of the merchandiser, to cut things short, I found out that she hold a master degree certificate back in Myanmar. She studied from young till she's 32. Now, she's in Singapore studying a 6months accounting course. Her master degree certificate are not related to accounting at all. They are science degrees. She mention back then, even with a master cert, she could only earn $100 sg bucks, which is 70k Myanmar money a month. The worst is, she have to sign a 10 year contract with the company. I really find that very unbelievable. I'm not sure whether she's lying or not.

My point of this paragraph is, in other country, what's the point of studying so hard when the pay you get is so low? Is Myanmar cost of living really so low? I mean in Singapore, i know that Certificate is almost a must to have a higher stand in singapore. The difference between those with Certificate and those with none is huge. However all this is questionable only if what the merchandiser mention is true. It's very much worth reflecting for me.

Alright i borrowed 3 books from the library. It's a trip worthwhile. I'll be reading it now. Shall stop here already.

Goodnights all.

Library, here i come!

Hi, i'm here to blog again! I went to jog despite my leg not fully recovered yet. Initially, it was bad, i couldn't jog. My left leg felt wobbly and my right leg hurts. How bad can it be huh. However, I persevere and try to jog. It work! My leg could withstand it after trying. I found out that my stamina is increasing, however that isn't very good news. Because i couldn't sweat as much as i used to with the same speed. My body will feel lazy if i jog faster though my heart could take it. I don't know why is this happening. I tried to jog faster today and i sweat a whole lot. Believe it or not, i think of girl whenever i'm giving up on jogging faster. LOL

Okay, i decided it's time i improve my english, start of this week, i'll be going to the library every week. I shall make this a complusory routine. My english isn't good. It wont help if i want to go polytechnics. Starting early is good. Dear Clique, It's time we improve our english! It's also because i got real bored over computer gaming. I really lost interest on it. I have to find another hobby to spend my time. I think reading is good!

Actually, i want to congratulate Ji Long on his change of attitude towards study. It seems that what his doing is way beyond my expectations. He's making a time table on how to spend his time for the whole week. However I would have to disagree on this. I know we ex computer addicts hate time-tables as we were never on time, but making our life like a robot isn't good. Perhaps making a time-table just for study hours will be fine. A time-table on every moments of our time spend isn't good. I hope he will excel in his studies and enjoy to the fullest after 'O' levels. Anyway, this are just my views, perhaps having a time-table on time spend will best suits your character, who knows. haha.

Ivan, i shall talk about you too. You now what's the issue in your family. Being in the clique, you heard my nagging. You by now, should know the importance of studies. You promise you will start studying after end of CNY. I trust you will do that. These are not my result. I'm just trying my best to help you. Afterall, it's your result in the end. Promise is just a way to help you. It's not as though you are doing for me. I know you understand this Ivan. Sorry ivan, i know you are still young, but it's time to study hard, as this is the cruelty of society. In Singapore, if you want to have a good income, You have to study.

Only the few minority will succeed. However that requires creativity, the right chance, the right moment. Every and every small factors that makes them successfull. Don't procastinate and say you will be the one. I'm 90% sure it won't be you. I'm not looking down on you, however it's very hard to be successful without studying in Singapore. I have faith in you Ivan. Try to communicate more in your family. I too am improving my relationship with my family. Take the first step, try and use the soft way to communicate. Your life is good too, enjoy it to the fullest!

Alright, i talk about you both, what about mine? Hahah, I'm aware of my problem and i already mention alot here in the previous post. Whatever it is, You two are my real good friends. Really, it's the 'guailan' that i made, that make us closer. Think properly, isn't it true? hahaha, I really don't have a large social circle, So whatever it is, i'll will try my best to help you guys. Whatever issues you guys have, tell me, i'm both a good listener, and also a good adviser. I'm not boosting =/.

That's all for now. Goodbye all.

Reflecting our actions.

Hello readers, I'm here to blog again! Well, today i have a came up with a topic, which i want to talk about. Let me blog relationships? Ahahaha, Perhaps it isn't the right place to voice out. But i actually didn't think there is any other place to have this discussion in mind as i'm lazy to write it out. Besides, i'm not too sure how girls think. I'm a complete retard in their thinkings. So if any kind girl out there could correct my mistake, i would greatly appreciate it. That is if you happen to read this post, and kind enough to give me advise.

Alright, how would i treat her? Tough question eh. What i think in a relationship is, Trust. Trust is the most important in relationship. Secondary would be compromising with each other, understanding each other. With these 3, wouldn't a relationship last long? Ahaha, easy to say, hard to do eh. How many guys out there can actually do all this? Perhaps minority, and quite a handful of guys have this " 大男人注意”。Sorry, i don't know what's the english version of it. I spend 30minutes looking for the translation, yet i can't find it. -.-

Well, i used to have this too, until i experiences it myself and know wow, i have to change this. It's 2010 already, men and women are equal. Suddenly i got nothing to say. I forgotton what i want to mention here. -.- Oh, It's hard to find someone compatible to you. Therefore we have to compromise and learn to accept each other's shortcomings. Unless you are real lucky, getting someone who can tolerate that, then you shall be the world's happiest man.

Will you treat her as though, she's your only precious in this world? Will you shower your love for her? Will you show her concern when she's sick? Will you care for her? Will you know when is the time to manage a relationship in such a way, both parties will have his/her own free space. Which means there won't be any gluing to each other. Will you compromise? Will you try to stand in her shoes when you are quarrelling with her? Will you be sweet to her for long and not only initially? This is a question for me. Perhaps to some of you too. Well, i know i do and i will.

Some of you may laugh, LOL so fat still want girlfriend, toad lusting for swarm's flesh eh? That's the reason why i'm trying to slim down, though there is other reason as well. Laugh all you want, but this is my life afterall, i'm in full control of it and sooner or later, i will succeed!
Ahahaha, Okay, i'll be ending here, and i will update this topic again tomorrow as suddenly my mind is completely blank.
