Hello... long time never blog le... Had been busy lately. This weekend is an especially tiring one as so many events just happens to coincide. Yesterday morning was in camp for RT... then book out for CVD then went to take a look at a company after that met my parents for dinner. Then today went out with the NS guys as well... So yar... Duno why my events always like to happen at one shot. After that is nothing all the way... so sian... why can't it spread out over a period of time -_-
Yar... went back to yj yesterday :D haha.. quite nice lar... met up with the teachers, long time since I've seen so many of them :) Feels good to go back to school. Haha... maybe just to help promote YJ abit... The place is really conducive for studies lar. Dun let their past ranking defer u from choosing this school.
Recently also met up with a group of people from a company with regards to my litbud. Things are too complicated to be blogged here. But yar... in the end I didn't join the company. But still like to thank them for helping me revive my enthusiasm and passion for it. Cos yar... after sometime I lost direction for the development of litbud. Been quite some time since I last updated it... But now... things are going to change. I can't be so laid back anymore. If I want litbud to succeed then I have to work for it... So yar... be prepared to see rapid advancement of the development process in the next few months :)
Thats about all for now lar... felt that there is more that I want to blog about, but then just duno how to put it in words... haha... K lar... CNY coming soon... :) Hope u people will have a nice week ahead :)

.... my installation is really pushing the limits of my patience... I feel like throwing my com out of the window now... haha... k lar... Can use it to train my patience.
anyway wanna share something that I read just yesterday. Its from the book Rich dad's : The business school. Just happen to browse through a few pages of the book when it was left on the table.
Shall share some excerpts from the book first.
The author is 15 years old and having biology lessons.
"I'm bored in school. I don't see any relevance between what we are required to study in school and the real world. I just want to learn to be rich. So how is a dead frog going to help me buy a new car? If the teacher would tell me how a dead frog can make me rich. I would disect thousands of them"
This is him on the topic of building network relations.
" As a young boy in high school. I began choosing my friends and teachers carefully because your family, friends and teachers are very very important element of your network."
The first thing that came to my mind when I read this book wasn't how great this person is at making money. Or be amazed by what a prodigy he is to have such strong financial mindset at a young age. My first impression of him is how shallow this person is.
Yes, money is very important, but there are other things that are as important. Studying subjects like sciences are not a waste of time. Human lives are not just about acquiring money. These subjects help us understand the world that we live in.
Imagine a person without any knowledge of anything else other than making money. How would he live his life? He wakes up every morning. Without any idea how the sun rises, drive to work without knowing a single thing about the machine he sits on. His mind just filled with thoughts about how to acquire more money.
His friends are all chosen based on their advantage to him in acquiring money. He chooses friends with a motive of using them to gain wealth.
Its scary isn't it?
I'm not saying that the author is totally wrong. but just feels that the way he does things is cold and unfeeling.
There are still some pointers that I agree with him. The school does teaches us quite a lot of unnecessary stuffs. I think the knowledge that we gain up till our secondary school is quite enough to help us appreciate the world. Anything more than that is going into the specialist field which we don't need. By the end of secondary school education. We should all be out working and gaining the relevant and up to date information in our specialist field. Rather than still studying so many things at one time. People like me don't have the courage to break out of this system. Thats why I'm still stuck at studying and have not gain any experience on my specialisation.
Just like what the book says, the education system is training us to be employess rather than the employer. We study so hard to earn a certificate and use it to beg for a job. People are encourage to study hard to make themselves more employable. But that is not the best way to get rich. The best way is to employ and not be employed.
This is something that I gained from the book lar. It helps to firm my stand to have my own business and not work all my life. But then I will still continue to study and use the qualifications as a safety net lar. I do not have the privilage to go all out and take a risk because there are things that I need to look after too.
So yar... thats all for now lar. Hope you gained something from this sharing session :) Bye~

Haiz... another weekend gone just like that... but then looking on the bright side... another week closer to ORD :) Haha...
Feeling alot better than yesterday now... The giddiness and teary eyes are no more... but then I kind of realise that my eyesight is getting very bad. my vision is getting really blur... Think I gonna have to wear specs soon... But then I want to wait till I'm nearer to ORD then go make a nice one... haha... my current one is damaged from outfield... it will still last through my army life when I need it lar... after that not that I dun want to use it anymore... I think my eyesight worsen already, so also cannot use liao...
Met up with my insurance agent today for a review. Kind of made me realise something.... My net worth is so little... lol... I'm so worthless. I realise that the money I tried so hard to save are actually peanuts... its too little... Last week I saw a bed room furniture set... Just a simple bedroom set will cost half of my worth... Haha... that means I'm only worth 2 sets of bedroom furniture... isn't that a little pathetic. I want more money!!! But then I got no means of getting more income. I dun mind working, but then nobody wants to employ me... haha... sian lor...
Somemore my expenditure is quite high for the past months. Bought a lot of things. Think it will stay that high for the next few months to come as I still have some more things on my shopping list. Oh well... remember my new year resolution. I said I'm gonna spent money as long as I'm happy :) And yar... I'm happy :D haha... OKay lar... I will still spend moderately... but then I feel the pinch because I no longer save as much as I did last time. Nvm... as long as I'm happy :D
Actually why should I feel the pinch? Since my net worth is peanuts... then my spendings will be the nuts in the peanuts... lol... It is so insignificant... Think I must change my mindset... Now to me... 1k is still as big as a wheel of a cart. At this time and age... peanuts already worth 600K ... lol... so yar... hope I wun feel the heartache after some time when I get accustomed to it.
Next week is quite a boring week. Nothing special. Hope it will pass fast.
ARGH!!!!!!! I really dun want to go back to camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TIME PLEASE PASS FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M GONNA GO CRAZY AT THIS RATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kk... bye~

Haiz... sian ar... super short weekend... Just book out this morning then so fast come to the end of the day liao... 1 day is really very short... got a lot of things I want to do but didn't have time.... anyway.... 5 more days to go before I get to book out again... haiz... just bear with it... by next week, half of jan will be over already :) Time should pass fast... Am really looking forward to the end of this year.... You know... actually it isn't good to hope that time pass faster.... Let me tell u a story that I've heard over the radio quite some time ago... Its something like this lar... can't really recall the details.
There is this guy who is very impatient. he always wish that time will pass faster. So one day a old man came and gave him a button. The old man said, " if you want time to pass faster, just turn the button" So yar... while walking home... the guy felt that the journey home was too long and boring, so he turned the button and time passed, he was home. And so... he started to use the button more and more often and to skip longer and longer period of time. He skipped the time taken to build his carreer, then skip the time to set up his family... One day... he finally realised that he is old and does not have much time left... Then he looked back... and regretted... the human life span is already so short, yet he skipped such a huge part of it away...
So yar... my life isn't that long either... By hoping that time pass faster is also equilevant to skipping this part of my life away. 1 year may not be a long time... but in reference to my total life span... I guess its quite a chunk. I really don't wish to do so... but then... I find no reason to enjoy this part of my life....
K lar... anyway... yar... still got 5 more days till the next weekend... Hope I'll feel better then lar.. I'm feeling lousy now perhaps because I can't finish the things I want to do...
But then... I still accomplished something today :D Haha... well perhaps not entirely done today... did some part of it yesterday... but then... Yar... digitallised it today... was also another accomplishment cos I used a totally unfamiliar and new program :)
Here's it

This is the new concept that I'm heading towards now... gonna open a character design studio. That will be my logo and the site name :)
Done entirely in adobe illustrator. This is the first time I'm using it... Had a lot of trouble cos I'm too used to using photoshop that it takes some time to adjust cos some functions are no longer there. Also perhaps my com is too lousy, so I faced a lot of lag-ness when using it... Perhaps gonna add some ram to my com when the next opportunity comes :) So do watch out for my new site coming to you soon. Litbud.com will soon cease to exist, but litbud will still live on under the new concept. :)
K lar.. thats all for now... bye :)

Sian ar!!!! tmr got to book in liao... haiz.... Faster ORD!!!!!
Anyway... been thinking about my new year resolution in my previous post. Think there is really something missing in my life. After some thinking. I guess I've been doing things that I'm good at... and not things that I wanted to do.
It has been a long time since I deliberately did something challenging. Thats why my life became so mundane and boring. There is no excitement in my life. And as time passes, I became unhappy and dull.... I lose the brightness and sunshine in my life. I wasn't like that in the past. I used to be very naughty and do crazy things. Duno since when I start to lose my direction in life.
That is why... in the year of 2007... I want to find back my sunshine. I will do all I can to achieve it. If money is able to buy me happiness... I will spend it... Talking about money. I realised that I became quite a miser. On some occassions I hold on to money too tightly. Just few weeks ago... I could have spent that little amount of money to make myself happier... But then I just held on to it and dun want to spent it... Maybe thats why I'm not as happy as before.
Now that I've identified my problem... I will spend this year rectifying it. I will pull together all my available resources to grab back the happiness that I've lost. I hope to be a happier person when I blog about my new year resolution next year. Wish my success.
Thats all for now lar... quite sian lar.. got to book in tmr liao... anyway... lucky this is not a very long week lar since it starts on a wednesday. So yar... life is going back to the way it was again. Looking forward to the next holiday. All the best for 2007 and enjoy your first working or studying day tmr!

Happy new year! Congrats to earth for orbiting another successful round around the sun. Haha... K lar... kind of lame... but I was just wondering, why are we celebrating the new year? Perhaps it is to mark another period in the short life span of humans.
For the next coming frame of 1 year. Here are the little resolution of a little human living in the big and vast world...
First thing... I dun want to spent the next new year eve at home again! Think I have been spending it at home for the past few years liao... So here are some plans and actions to take. I would like to get to know more people. I would be considering doing some volunteering work during the weekends. Or maybe take up some lessons. Like that I wun be wasting my time at home too... at least can get out and know more people. Another thing is to get my current contacts organised. came to realise the fact that my mind cannot store too much information. If I imagine my mind to my a computer. I would have very small hard disk space, average processor speed and very high ram... haha... cos I cannot store information, cannot think too quickly, can solve problems after a long processing time, but then cannot store information after I process it... So yar... decided to get a personal assistant... a digital one... haha... When the next opportunity comes, I would like to get a simple PDA to help manage my contacts and to do list. Cos really... my mind and memory really very bad. Only 2 years never get in contact I can forget a friend's name and even where I've met him... So yar... I think very soon I will forget all of you guys... haha... then also I realised that I never remember any of my friends birthday.... Quite sad right... not even a single person leh. So yar... hope it will improve things.
Secondly... I would like to take up a new performing skill. Cos now my skills cannot be shown to others as a performance. Just like I'm good at art so wad... I can't perform with it... So I would like to learn something like piano... or perhaps even magic.
next I would wish for the better life in the army... now quite sian and dissappointed in it lar... so yar... hope in the new year things will get better.
K lar... last but not least... wish everyone stay happy and healthy always :)
See ya~

Its almost the end of the year again. :) Another year passed just like that. Well. Although there is still 1 more day to go before the year finally comes to a close. But I shall do my year end reflection and summary now :D Well... This is quite an eventful and exciting year. Although it seems to have passed long ago, it still hasn't been a year yet.
First up... 09 March 2006... Enlistment!
Haha... this is a date that I won't forget that easily. Haha... Its the start of a 2 year journey in almost every singaporean guy's life. Till today, it has already been like 9 months in the army liao. Many things have happened... and indeed... it was really alot..... Experienced quite a lot in the army. The days in BMT at Ulysses coy... the heavenly days at SMM.... and now... the working days at AETC. Things are starting to get boring now in the army. Life is mundane, or perhaps, there isn't any life at all... haha... everyday wake up do the same things. Then everyday thinking about how to slack off or hide somewhere without getting caught.... haha... Now... no feeling to work leh. No motivation. Actually... its more like somethings made me very dissappointed and unhappy about work... Thats why I dun feel like working anymore. If I am like working outside I would have quitted long ago. Its not because the workload is too much or I want to slack. I dun mind working hard. Something just happened that made me very dissappointed lar.. dun want to talk about it. Anyway... yar... I guess the fun part of my army life is over, along with the harsh part. The days during BMT, though was hard, but fun. Really... Didn't appreciate it during that time. But now thinking of it... its a very nice experience. Following that I'm very grateful to be posted to medic course. Not just because its slack... but also for the knowledge. Its a knowledge that I would actually like to have although I'm lousy in bio and have a strong dislike for large quantity of blood. Other than that, you also get to see more things as a medic. You are no longer a man in a platoon. You are able to step out of it and look at things in a larger perspective. And yar... its a nice thing to be able to do.
K... other than that... the next big event that happened only this year but seemed so long ago is the release of the A lvls result! :D Although I've already been through 2 major exams... the PSLE and the O lvls... this was different. The pressure is on as there is no alternative route to go if I dun do well. The only way was to press forward and upwards. And thus, the stress level is also there. On that lovely morning.... I receive a plesant call from the school that set my heart pounding... could it really be? haha... I could still remember that morning very vividly. The excitement and the anxiousness. It was unexpected that I would earn such honour... although frankly, I always dream and fantasize about it... haha... Anyway... yar... its one of the major events that mark 2006 and my life.
2006 is indeed filled with fun and excitement. I would say... perhaps one the the best years so far... With this, I think we can now bring 2006 to a close. 2007, a brand new beginning. I shall write on the expectation and resolution in my next entry :) Bye~
First up... 09 March 2006... Enlistment!

Yo, quite some time nv blog liao. Enjoying my block leave now :D Haha... shiok sia.... Can live 1 week of civilian life... Woho~ K lar... just have bear with it for a while longer. By the time I report back would be in the year 2007 liao! Haha... much closer to ORD liao. Just have to count down till end of the year cos I think the last 3 mths would pass quite fast. Or rather, I can bluff myself that I only left 1 year of service cos I just need to look forward to the block leave at the end of the year again, and then... :D I can go into ORD mood liao :D
The past few days of my holiday was quite nice lar :) Sang alot... haha... but then my singing still cannot make it... :S must practise more.... Then also did my first fake oil painting... lol... It was a budget painting. Instead of a pretty canvas, I bought cloth for curtains... haha... then also used acrylic paint instead of oil paint.... The result is okay lar.... one word to describe... budget... haha.... Although got the 'feeling' of oil paint, but it still lacks something that makes it a true oil painting.
Nothing much lar... plan to go shopping tmr, but then have to depend on the weather lar. Hope it won't rain... then tmr go out and see if there is any post christmas sales to grab some goodies :P
K lar... thats all for now... bye :)

K lar.. nothing much... sian...
K lar.. nothing much... sian...
After some thoughts, I guess I won't go ahead with the litbud idea anymore. Guess its potential is quite limited. I am changing the direction I'm heading now. Instead on just focusing on litbud, I will diverse out to start a designing business. Litbud will still exist as a micro part of the new concept. I will still do character design and more.
There are a few factors that caused me to change. Firstly, I stumbled upon this website www.mojizu.com which has a collection of different character designed and contributed by other users. While browsing through the designs, I suddenly feel that litbud is so small and insignificant in this vast arena of character design. There are so many characters out there vying for a chance to get famous. My litbud would not stand out against them.
So I went back to analyse the growth potential of litbud and realised that its very limited, I'm almost touching the ceiling for it already. In the long term, nothing much can be done to develope it futher. It has already gone from just plain doodling on paper to having a website dedicated to itself. Anything more may be just creating a soft toy for it... So yar... I can't build a business just based on litbud alone...
Now I came up with a new concept. I will create a umbrella website encompassing all aspects of my designs. Then there will be a section for character design, and each character will own a small micro site dedicated to them. There will also be other sections for the other designs, which is still in the concept stage.
I guess this change is more suitable for me as I dun like my design to be constant. I realised that I keep changing and upgrading my designs too often. Litbud.com has undergone 3 major facelift within a year. And my personal blog, has been changing its design every few months. Except lately cos I haven't got the time to do it... haha...
So yar... somemore I dislike to dwell on a design for too long. I like to just finish it and move on. Thats why you see that my new website always last for like 1 months before I start working on a new design :S With this new concept I am able to keep changing my design. It somesort of like acts as a online portfolio for me.
Haha... then as I'm still in the stage of conceptualizing, litbud.com will stay there until my new website is up lar... haha... My 3 months of effort into this version 3 will last for another 3 months before its taken down... lol... see how fast my designs get taken down each time.
Other than these few factors there is also the financal part lar. I am still not financially stable to develop litbut futher, and litbud also hasn't mature enough for me to take the risk lar. So yar... this new concept will let me have time to develop other characters and when the right time comes I will be able to decide on which of my design has matured enough for me to take it to a new level.
Meanwhile, I'm also trying hard to upgrade my skills :D I want to try to master adobe illustrator. Its a very powerful program that the industry uses. So yar... it would be very good if I can master it.
Went out for recently for a family gathering. Then my aunt is like saying, that nowadays its very hard for middle age people to keep their jobs. Companies are retrenching old people. So my aunt has to take up courses to upgrade her skills.
So yar... I dun want this to happen to me next time. I want a safety net for myself when I get to that age. Cos I know that competition is going to increase by the day and by the time when I get to that age, my skills will get obsolete even faster. I dun want to by the age still go back to studies in hope to keep a job... To spell it more crudely, I dun want to beg to retain a job. Somemore even if you are willing to study, how far can you go to keep your competitivness? The young are always more energetic than you. So I've decided that the best way to escape this is to own your own business by then. As when you are your own boss, no one can retrench you. Even if its not a very big business, but then if I can earn enough for a decent living I will already be very contented.
But I know this is going to be a long and tedious process. I just wished that I would be lucky and be able to break free from the fate of being obsolete.
K lar, nothing much liao... bye :)

Woho~ this week is haven sia... haha... Got to stay out... somemore is like 3pm can go home liao... yseterday the best, can go home after lunch... lol... Nice sia... I think this month will pass very fast. Cos after this week, next week will be cover for ICT for the whole week, then another week will be gone. Then I still got 1 more week then can go for my block leave liao.. haha... after that the next time come back is in the year 2007! :D Haha... that will be much closer to ORD loh! haha....
K lar.. nothing much... have been thinking alot about my litbud business lately. Duno if I should start it now. Cos yar... the whole venture will cost about $6000 to me. And I duno how much I can recover. Although it may seem like a small sum, but it will make quite a big dent in my savings, cos I got some money tied up in deposits and periodical savings account. So the liquid cash I have is quite limited. After some calculations, my liquid assets will go into the reds for the first 3 months. Somemore it won't be long before I start my uni, and I need the money to get quite alot of things. So the time frame for me to sell all the products is actually quite short, otherwise I won't be able to recover my money in time for the uni spendings.
Other than the financial aspect, there is also the management side. Although this is a rather small business, but I doubt I can do it alone. Even if I can, it would be a hard and tedious process. I need someone who can stand by me. Give me support when the route gets tough. I am looking for that person who can become my partner. Someone who has an entreprenuer mind who wish to break off from the norm, take the risk in hope for greater returns. So yar, if you dream of having your own business, do contact me :) But be prepared to work hard for it :D
Its quite a sad thing that for people like me who comes from a below average income family, its quite a difficult thing to start your own business. Firstly, you dun have a rich father who can supply you with the capital you need, or even when you fail in your business, he can be a cushion for you to fall back on. Look at all those susscessful young singaporean entreprenuers in recent times. Almost all of them come from a rich family. They may claim that they didn't receive help from their parents. But then, they know that even if they fail they have nothing to worry about because they have a safety net to fall back on. For people like me, who can I rely on? I dun have the capacity to flush a few thousand dollars down the drain just to take a chance at starting a business.
So I still considering whether this is the right time to start it... I could maybe wait a few years, get a stable income, and at a time when $6000 is not too big a sum for me, then start the business. But then, there would be other considerations. Maybe I won't have that much time to focus on my business, of maybe I have other commitments like family. Will I still have the time and energy for such things. Now may be the best time as I'm still young. I do not have much other commitments or obligations. I am carefree. The lost money can still be earned back in future. So why not make use of this chance to just take the gamble and go all out for it?
So yar.... its quite a hard decision to make. Still have to consider it for some time before I cna make the decision. Perhaps I would also consult some people.If you people have any comments of opinion on this matter, feel free to drop me a message in my shotbox :D

Think its a much needed end of year bonus for me... Had been spending quite alot lately :S Last week went out for two events... cost me about a 100 bucks... okay lar... actually not really alot... but then... 100 out of my 450 pay is relatively big... haha... sian... had been thinking of ways to increase my income. Wanted to work but duno how to find job leh. My working hours must be very flexible one lor cos my weekend also not confirm free on both days, sometimes got weekend duty... and maybe I'll be going india for some time... so I think no one would want to employ me lar... Even giving tution is a problem lar. Cos now I got saturday RT that means I won't be able to teach during that time, and I think thats the peak period for tution lar cos people can go out in the afternoon. See lor... if got any lobang can intro me :) haha... in much need of $$$
