Some Thoughts in Life…

After my last post on my progress in life, I decided to write a bit more on the updates in my life again. In these recent months, I have made a lot of progress in almost all aspects of my life.

Ever since leaving to handle full-time on my own business, I had new breakthroughs in terms of personal as well as business and career aspects. I had started to know more people and also new network of people who are genuine in person and they also want to help me.

However, I am still handling and learning my lesson from my financial decisions. It was really a hard lesson to learn and there’s no one to lament to. Well, actually I don’t really like to lament but to some degree I had to because of the pent up stress in me.

Yesterday, when I was taking a bus back to my office and I saw one uncle and his grandson taking the bus together. His grandson sat beside me initially then moved to sit beside his grandfather. He looks so innocent and when he called out to his grandfather as “Gong Gong”, I just felt a tinge of sadness in my heart. I’m not exactly sure about what exactly triggers this but immediately tears welled up in my eyes. Till now I’m still not sure about what’s the trigger point for me. Maybe they are just too innocent to know how exactly this world is like. For children, everything is so much fun for them.

We adults sometimes think a little too much on what we actually have to do and we care too much on what the others think and look at us. All these things actually doesn’t matter much for anyone. I’ve slowly started to let go of all these but it’s an arduous process. These things will make a person happy but more often than not, it will make the person sad because we tend to look at the negative part of our life and make comparisons.

Well, I’m not exactly sure if all these make sense to even you but right now, I’m writing this on a Saturday afternoon in my office. Sometimes, I just think that whether should I still stay on this journey to success, happiness, wealth and health. Because sometimes when all the obstacles come all at once, I will be overwhelmed and the thought of giving up will float behind my mind. As this was a long journey since I started out during when I’m 19 years old. But I still haven’t achieve a certain level of success.

Sometimes I just need a short break for myself. Heard that looking at the sea has a calming effect. Maybe I should head down to the east coast tomorrow.

You take care too, my readers! :)

Cya again!

New Year 2010

Hey Everyone,

It’s already the new year. Where and what did you do for the past 2009? Has it been a fruitful year for you?

Well, for some of you who would like to view their own life as it is. Whether you have done any accomplishments or not, it doesn’t really matter because you just want to enjoy life to the fullest. That’s me in 2009. But I just can’t take it anymore because whenever I think back to my past years, it’s been disappointing for me. I’m not sure if it’s me who always want to nitpick my own life. Damn..sometimes it is just so frustrating but then sometimes I’m just being so anal about it.. haha.. so contradicting..

When I think about this, I would like bang my head against the wall. I’m not too sure if you will also feel like this sometimes. Well, that’s for 2009. Hmph! 2010 will be a different one for me altogether. I realized that there’s ain’t much time left. I’m reaching my 30s soon.. that’s not good… :(

So I commit to myself and you (whoever you are who’s reading my blog THANK YOU FOR READING :D) that I will be striving hard for my goals in 2010. No more distractions, there’s only my career and business to think about. As for other aspects of life such as relationship, family, social, mental and spiritual, they will still be improved but they are not my main focus. My main focus is still to make my first pot of gold.

Now that I’ve stated my own goals. What I’ll be doing next is I will be stating them in specifics so that I can be reminded of them whenever I blogged. Plus, you can also put in words of encouragement for me too. :)

Thank you to you and all those who had read my blog in 2009. I really appreciate your readership. Please comment more so that I will know what to improve on.

Thank you once again.

I am back and I need a Minute here!

IF, i said If there is anyone following YZ’s blog, (no offense yeah YZ, not too sure if you have a pool of readers).
There is something that once again I wanna share with everyone. i believe recently, those ppl that still have a sole, still alive, (you will understand what i mean if you have read YZ’s walking corpse on the road, in the mrt. Trust me, i work in town, i have been seeing tons of these kind of walking corpse everyday, and the worse thing is, they failed to release they are one and deny the fact that they need a life, they need a re-charge!
Recently including me myself felt tired easily, i hate the things i do previously, i might get upset by things/people that is around me easily, and i have been searching for an answer, why do humans needa grow up and have never ending things to stress and worried about.
But i chance upon this readings which i felt is so right. I here present to you guys, take a minute to read through, i guess its happening to everyone, but we are just ignoring the root problem or we just heck and complain bout it.

Cognitive psychologists believe that it is our thoughts, and not external events, that determine our moods – it is how we respond to what happens, rather than what happens itself, that determines how we feel. If something can be changed, change it. If it cannot be changed, then change the way you look at it. And we can learn to do this first by noticing our negative thoughts and substituting them with more useful and positive ones. By looking on the bright side of life we can create success, happiness and a healthier mind and body.

Ok, i know it sounds damn common sense but hey, i have friends everyday complaining about this, complaining about that, its either money not enough, boy friend not good enough, life not happening enough, it can be anything…

So people, if you have these kind of people around you, tell them to stop complaining and start to do something about it at this very moment.

My favorite tag of the day ” Life Is Too Short to be Ordinary”. I am on my way to experience life in my own way, are you?

Undecided…

Sometimes when I am alone, I will start thinking about things in life. Some questions do pop up in my mind always. Like for example, what am I here for and what passion do I have. Which career path should I take and if I leave now, am I being irresponsible to my clients and then go and pursue my passion.

Sometimes, all these questions are just part and parcel of life but because of our busyness in life makes us didn’t think of it. So we will lose touch of ourselves and our sole purpose in life. So whenever I think of this, I will lament that many people especially the employees are really more like “walking corpse” just like being a zombie. Working everyday without fail for the hopes of increasing one’s own pay.

Such is a boring life… As one of my friend said, life should be enjoyed to the fullest because life is short.

Well, what is life without all these challenges and puzzles to make us think? We’re human after all. :D

As Anthony Robbins said, “Live With Passion”

I’m On TV – Get Real

Today was a really great day. Under the invite of CJ, I had to go for the Get Real interview together with Jack on the opinions of CJ’s relationship with Yanni. But before that, I did help out with Xing Rong with their POV when Hiromi came to SG for her next seminar which is from 1 Oct to 4 Oct.

Went and help out with the event because it is an exclusive all guys event so only guys allowed into the event premises. Sorry ladies. The topic is about how to tackle ladies in the real life. So I helped out as well as learn some more knowledge form Hiromi. Thank!

Half way during the workshop, CJ and me have to leave for St James to conduct the interview with Mediacorp. So on we went and I did my interview and CJ told me that I spoke like quite a lot because most of the time, I didn’t really speak that much. Haha. Hmm.. wasn’t camera shy either :D So waited for Jack for his interview session and then we proceeded inside to shoot some background shots.

Did a few shots and felt like models going in and out because of the different takes. Some people are curious about why 3 guys are being filmed and we were approached by the ladies who sells drinks and told her we’re actually doing filming. Told us that we should get the drinks after all. Felt so weird hahahah. Well, in the end, we didn’t get anymore drinks and went off from St James to have some supper before coming back home now.

So right now, I’m going to sleep. Next time then :D Nite!

Day After Day…

Since my license came, a lot have been happening and my days seemed to whirled passed everyday without any recollection of it. It just seems that I have been so busy that everything has been happening so fast in such a short time that I’m still trying to adapt.

But one thing good is that I’ve met many new personalities and friends who are also like-minded and working hard for their future even when I’m typing this.

My day suddenly seems so long but is really packed and fulfilling at the end of the day. I will try to recollect but it just seems that my eyes can close at any moment of time. Well, now I gotta go meet up with CJ and Jack for a short while.

Ciao~

Good night~

Eve of Good Friday…

Met up with Zoe and Daniel then we went over to shisha near arab street after 10pm. Was there talking and catching up with them. Su-ann originally wanted to join but couldn’t when she called Zoe. Then we played some cards and then some topics that we chatted revolved around ghost stories and really scared Zoe. Lol..

Both of them were smoking shisha while I haven’t had my dinner and ordered Fish & Chips, when it came, I immediately devoured it. Then I quickly became a really satisfied customer after that. =)

But then there was a group of customers who complained about the service and then the boss waived the whole payment and even gave them free  drinks Since Zoe was such a regular over there, she told me that these kind of situations often happened. So was really common. Then she told me about the story of shisha.

Well, we stayed till quite late though… around 3 plus in the morning then took a cab back. Such a long day as tomorrow still have to wake up early for my work. Is really exhausting these few days…

Sales! Rest and Relax…Cosy Bar… Giraffe

Yesterday, went for BFC in the morning then help out with a cashflow game.

Then went to the Adidas sale of up to 70% off. I was already a ready buyer trying to find some polo t-shirts but to no avail… It’s really disappointing that the stock variety over there is pathetic… Although there are many other colors but there’s just wasn’t the right size for me… so dewei and me went off disappointed at the sale itself.

But then we decided to try our luck at the Robinson’s sale next hall which opens till 29 Mar. Wow! There’s really quite a crowd over there and the fitting room queues were super long… After walking around, we managed to get some stuff for ourselves. I got 2 polos and a pants. Then both of us went over to get some facial masks =P Well, you must be thinking… two super vain guys getting masks that are used by women only. hahaha… but I tell you… once you reach a certain age, you should start taking care of your face, GUYS INCLUDED =). For me, I wouldn’t want to look like 35 when I just reached 30… but rather I want to look like 25 when I’m 30.

So that concluded our short little shopping spree.

Then we took train down to Orchard and took our dinner. There’s one incident which kind of makes us mad… We were looking for seats in the fully occupied Food Republic near the windows area. Then we saw two groups of people who are finished with their food. But they’re chatting and there’s only two guys in one of the group. Then dewei was saying to me that if here is Raffles Place then people will be automatic…but it wasn’t so and it’s even worse… The one of the guys took out a tissue and was trying his best to wipe some invisible stains off his white shoes! Then after going another 2 rounds, 2 groups of gals came and suddenly the 2 guys quickly packed up and leave! That totally pissed us off! >.< Such guys…really make my blood boil…Anyway, we totally went to the other area and found ourselves seats and carried on with our dinner.

After dinner, we walked around taka and got to know from a super pretty promoter that Hugo Boss just launched a new product last week called Element.

Then we wanted to find a bar to sit down as my shoulders are almost breaking because of the weight of my bag… Was thinking of Alley Bar, Acid Bar, No 5 or Ice Cold Beer but then Dewei suggested that we try out the Giraffe at Dhoby Ghaut just in between Park Mall and PS with all those fountain and water features. Once reached, there wasn’t many people, guess it’s the rainy weather that even Orchard isn’t that packed. The ambience is really nice and I would love to go there another time. I ordered their Giraffe Special which is kind of unique in a sense. Got a bit of the fruity taste to it. Dewei just ordered the Singapore Sling.

Well, now that I’ve looked at my time then I realized that this post is so long… hahahaha well, that’s my day! Really long but satisfying and fulfilling.
