Haiz.... sian ar.... sunday night again.... the night before book in... Its about time to sleep now... but I just don't want to.... I dread going back to camp... I hate it.... There are far too much shit in camp.... I need a long break.... really need it.... NS is sucking all the life out of me... I've been feeling lethargic... tired.... and lost interest in a lot of things... I've lost the drive to work.... I'm just living each day finding places to slack and wait for the day to end..... I duno how long I can last like that.... I'm really tired of this kind of life.... Everyday I've been thinking of how life would be after I ORD... the things that I'll do during my studies....
That will come... yes.... but in another 10 months time... Actually.... its no come to think of it... its not that far away.... Its lest than a year.... Time will certainly pass... I only beg for it to pass faster....
K lar... dun want to dwell so much on this matter.... time will pass.... I'll just have to wait for mine :)
Hmm... recently nothing much happen lar... Weekends are slowly going back to what it used to be.... boring.... The starting of the year was great... weekends are packed with appointments... Its busy... but time pass faster.... not only for the weekend... but for the weekdays as well...
Oh well... I duno lar... Life is kind of in the mess now.... I also not in the mood for my business.... because of all these stress.... I've been unable to get any inspiration for my works...

Past few days had been fruitful... :) learnt 2 very important lesson.
Lesson one: Learn to deal with rejection
Went for a introductory talk to be an insurance agent :) Teddy wanted to register to be a insurance agent under AIA... so he made an appointment to meet with one of their manager to find out more. So yar... I was asked if I wanted to tag along. I did... and learn some lesson. The manager talk about how how he managed to succeed in this business.... and one key aspect is to be able to deal with rejection. As you know, insurance agent have to approach many people to sell their policies... and then more than 95% of the people approached will reject them. He talked about how he made cold calls to people.... like out of 100 people he called only 5 will be interested... and out of the 5... 4 will not turn up and finally... only 1 policy will be sold... So yar... in order to succeed in that 1 policy... you will have to face with 99 rejection...
Hmm... thats important if I want to do business in future :) So... I must train myself to look in the face of rejection and not feel demoralized :D
Lesson Two: How to obtain POWER
Had a long chat with my friend cos we were both doing weekend duty yesterday... and one of the topic we talked about is this. He told me that there are many sources of power. Power from knowledge, ie. you know more than people. Power from influence, if you know important people and can influence them.... and many more. Hmm.... what interest me most is the power from knowledge. If you know more than others, you will always have an edge over others. No one can cheat you... and you will be needed for your extra knowledge over others. With that knowledge that you have, you gain the power to manipulate that knowledge to your advantage. This power is not impossible to obtain. You just have to be hardworking and devour as much knowledge as you can grab. You have to become the expert in that field. Hmm... I think this will be the power that I will work to obtain :D
Hope by sharing this with you guys, you may also be enlightened :D
Thats all for now lar.... Quite sian.... Took off tmr... but then still have to book in at night... Oh well... Life has to go on... and because of the off... the week is shorter.... so yar... hope it will pass sooner... and that will bring us to mid april already :D Dong will be going to taiwan tonight already... by the time he's back will be May :D Haha... By then its almost half the year gone :D Wee~ So much closer to ORD!!!!!
Hmm... actually I got the perfect plan to make time pass faster.... and the crucial part of it is to be able to pass my IPPT by july... Cos then... I will be able to go taiwan in september... then when I come back it will be around the end of year holiday season where I will start to clear my leave and offs.... And then that will bring us to the year 2008... where I continue to enjoy holidays and then ORD!!!! Haha... So if I am not able to pass.... then I will have to endure all the way till end of year... and time will pass slowly... I've been training very hard... and I start to see a little result :D Haha... my muscles are getting more defined :D Hope this is a good motivation for myself to strive for my pass :D
Okay... shall end the entry here... bye :D Have a nice week ahead too :) Oh... other than Dong going overseas... my cousin andrew is also going to taiwan for atec tmr.... and sen min also going to australia for live firing... Wish them all the best and hope they come back soon :D

Hehe... received compliments about my writing skills.... happy~ happy~ happy~ HAha.... especially since it came from someone whom I believe have better language ability than me... :)
Anyway... every word is an agony when writing this entry today. Cos you know... my thumb have those irritating flaked off skin at the side... so when ever I press the spacebar... it hurts... maybeIshalltrywritingmyentry
withoutanyspacesinbetweenthewords...
or
perhaps
I
shall
replace
all
the
spaces
with
enters
lol....
kk... stop being lame... :) For the compliments that I receive... I shall literally PRESS ON... haha...
Other than that another reason for writing this entry is to give recognition to 4 brave AETC medics whom went forward to help a guy with fits yesterday... Haha...
Went to watch 300 with my group of medic friends yesterday. After the movie when we are about to return back to camp. We saw someone lying down on the floor,body shaking, around the taxi stand area at jurong point. It took awhile for us to realise that the person is having fits. For the brief moments in the beginning, we were undecisive of whether to go forward and render our aid. If we were not medically trained... we might just be like normal passerby... kapo abit go see see then walk off. But then because we are equipped with that knowledge, there is this innate obligation to go and help out. So we followed our heart and went forward.
Some interesting things happened along the way....
Because there is this misconception that a person with fits might bite off their tongue, a lady came forward and tried to put a key into the guy's mouth.... haha... Its a misconception okay... they won't bite off their tongue. If you put things into the person's mouth, you might cause other damage like him swallowing and choking on that object.
Another lady came forward and says she knows CPR. haha... but that situation then dosen't require the use of CPR. CPR is used when the casualty does not have any breathing of pulse. Mis-application of it may interfere with the person's breathing. Its good to have people learning CPR and offering to help. But then... do also emphasize on the correct usage :)
Then there are also cases of ugly and kapo singaporeans who just crowd around and do nothing but block the way.
Then there is this super inconsiderate lady. I'm not trying to be racist or nationalist here... but that f**king china women is unbelievably inconsiderate.
Cos the taxi stand only has one lane, it has to be cleared so that the ambulance could enter. So when the ambulance finally came, the security guard stopped the people from boarding and try to clear the remaining taxis left in the stand. Then there is the women whom just die die want to board the taxi. She chase the taxi all the way out of the taxi stand, tapping on the door demanding it to stop for her. The security guard asked her to stop it she just dun care and keep tapping on the door and running with the taxi. Can't she just let the taxi go off and wait for another taxi when the ambulance is done. Really cannot stand this kind of inconsiderate people. I believe this kind of people will have their retribution. Maybe next the next casualty will be her... and someone will try to do the same thing as what she did....
So yar... wanna acknowledge the effort put in by my friends lar. I didn't do anything cos I got nothing to do... u don't need 4 medics to attend to a person at one time. So yar... I dun really deserve the credit, but the others do :)
hohoho~ this is gonna be a long entry :) Long time since I wrote such a long one. Just nice that there are things worthy to blog about this week.
About the movie 300. Hmm... its a nice movie :D It made killing and battles beautiful. You see blood splashing around and heads severed.... but then you won't feel sick cos everything is filmed so beautifully. Somehow they are not splashed and thrown around,what you see is blood dancing and twirling elegantly around in the air.... and heads prancing in air. And I guess this is what made this movie different from others. So yar... I do recommend that you people watch it. Its not always that you get such beautiful killing scenes.
Oh well... its saturday night... but then its sunday already as its passed 12... So it would correct if I were to say I am booking in tonight... haha... Sian.... Have to book in on a sunday night again. Gonna have a outcamp activity on monday, so have to book in the night before. Coming week is the last week of march liao :D April is coming... I can already smell it.... lol.... hopefully time will pass fast enough to bring me to my ORD date without me realising.

wow... I am really impressed by a portfolio done by my friend. Its really nice. Has been a long time since I am so excited about a design. Its truly innovative.
www.qwertydesign.net
Do visit it. The navigation of the site is very well done.
haha... here I am trying to set up my own design studio... thinking that I'm good... but after looking at his portfolio... I think nah.. lol... I still got a long way to go.
But then nvm... I seem to move away from that idea already. :S haha... I think designing is not my main competency. I got other plans... and I hope it will work :) lol... I guess I can't stay with a idea for long. I just keep generating ideas and then get excited about them and forget about my old ideas. Haha... maybe that what I do best lar... generating ideas... lol... but not staying commited to them...
Gonna spend the next week rethinking about when I am going to do... organise my thoughts abit... cos its really in a mess now... I got like 3 projects that I want to do on hand.... so yar... have to decide which one to focus on. :X

Hmm.... seems like blogger has merged with google...
anyway... I wanna spend some time blogging about something. Its about the education system. Not too long ago was the release of the A levels results. There were many articles about how people in the top JCs were unhappy because they did not score the perfect score.
Well... that may not concern me directly but then an incident happened right at home that compelled me to write something about this issue of unhappiness created by our education system.
To cut the story short, my sis changed one of her subject to Art, and my mom is very against it. So yar... some things happened at home lar. Don't want to say too much... as the saying goes "dun wash ur dirty linen in public"
At first I was also very against the idea of her changing the subject, as I see that art is not an easy subject and from what I see is the standard of my sis, she wouldn't really make it. But then, just in the afternoon, she came to me and showed me her first assignment. It wasn't really very well done... but she was happy. And I guess that is really what matters. To be happy. Whats the point of having her stick to her original subject when she's not going to be happy even when she score good grades?
When I got my A levels result... I was really really happy... I even got to collect my result on stage. It became such a big affair... I really thought I was smart... haha... but then... now... thinking of it.... my result is nothing.... there are tons of people scoring perfect score.... and many others near perfection... so what is my result compared to them?
But at least I was happy... and I think this is why my results are more valuable than the others.
So yar... lets all make choices that will make us happy! :)
Life is short.... make it a happy journey.

At first I was also very against the idea of her changing the subject, as I see that art is not an easy subject and from what I see is the standard of my sis, she wouldn't really make it. But then, just in the afternoon, she came to me and showed me her first assignment. It wasn't really very well done... but she was happy. And I guess that is really what matters. To be happy. Whats the point of having her stick to her original subject when she's not going to be happy even when she score good grades?
When I got my A levels result... I was really really happy... I even got to collect my result on stage. It became such a big affair... I really thought I was smart... haha... but then... now... thinking of it.... my result is nothing.... there are tons of people scoring perfect score.... and many others near perfection... so what is my result compared to them?
But at least I was happy... and I think this is why my results are more valuable than the others.
So yar... lets all make choices that will make us happy! :)
Life is short.... make it a happy journey.

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~
