I'll be back a better person and friend.

I will, I will yes I will.

I entered this Buddhism community recently, gets to know new people.

It was very awkward at first, but everyone warms up to each other after a few months.

We organised a Mother's Day Party and even managed to came up with our own Mother's Day appreciation video. Suddenly everyone seems familiar and close.

I asked one of them what makes him stay in this community.

And he answered because he can feel that everyone is sincerely wants to be your friend.

There are no mask at all. Everyone is on their natural look.

=====================================

During a makan session with my mentors, I was advised to read more self-improvement books.

I chose to read "How to make friends and influence people".

In the book, I read that you have to be genuinely interested in someone for them to be genuine towards you.

Upon reading this sentence, suddenly Cherry came to mind.

Cherry, from NYPSO.

Cherry, who used to be... different

I used to be puzzled by her transformation.

Within a span of a year, she instantly became the centre of attraction.

She loves being with people, and people love her!

And I assumed it was because she has embraced the above principle.

I've been inspired lately by a movie and I've decided to jot down my thoughts.

In life, we are constantly bombarded by other people's opinion.
The end result is the person you've become. Your character.
Unfortunately, the majority of the World's population practice almost, if not, the same mindset.
I think it is very rare to meet a person who have a unique mindset of their own.
These people, when you met them, stood out like an odd ball.
They are usually meant for something big... or just plain attention seekers.
I believe that everyone in this world has a 贵人, who would change the course of your life forever, in a good way.
If you don't, most probably you haven't met yours yet. Or you just didn't realize they are your 贵人yet.

Yes, everybody has a 贵人, but if you are not matured enough, he will just pass you by and miss the chance.
Most of the time, they would still encourage you, motivate you to leave the cage of your comfort zone and upgrade you. This phase requires you to have a leap of faith, jumping to an unknown boundary, and most of the time, you will fall, but it's okay, it is human to err. But once you made it, not only that you expand your comfort zone, you would land in the MAGIC ZONE, that's where miracles happen.

This movie I've watched "3 Idiots" is a bollywood movie which was introduced to me by a friend.
Initially he mentioned that it is a comedy, till I realised at the end of the movie that it is actually an inspirational movie... okay with some comedy elements.
The story is about these 3 guys who made it into the Imperial College of engineering, with a very competitive environment.
2 of which were enrolled upon their families expectation, whereby "Rancho" enrolled simply because of his passion for machines.
Along the course of studies, Rancho's conventional way of problem solving go against the school method of teaching, whereby each students were expected to stick with existing solutions with restricted imaginations.
The 3 idiots came together by fate when they were assigned the same room.
Along the way, with Rancho's help, the other 2 idiots, who were blindly following the school's system starts opening to his conventional way of thinking, and saved them from a few would be unfortunate incident.

That's all for the write up, hope it aroused enough curiosity for you to watch it. Below is the link, and I really recommend any of you to watch it.

甲：多媒体系对我来说是一个擅长，可是我不是很喜欢。又有些功课压力会让我有一点讨厌它。我在想是否可以转科转系？

乙：你的目地是为了逃避不是为了追求梦想。逃避永远不会得到答案的。你从一个地方逃到另一个地方，你永远不知道那个地方是不是更苦。而且就算那个地方不苦，你也只不过找了一个 SECOND BEST,第二好的答案。但是所谓的人生如果我们有选着的话永远要追求的是第一好的。是你真正最喜欢，是你真正即使被折磨，被人家给予很多挫折你还是愿意往前走。 那才是真正的方向。

Day 1 without games.

Yesterday I got the urge to listen to 五月天 music during my lunch break.

And at the same time I was thinking about the things I could do once me and my family had the privilege to own the stage. I could totally imagine myself 演讲 with confident and after all that slowly walks to my drumset with my brothers and sisters going up the stage on standby.

"1... 2... 1, 2, 3, 4!"

And with a loud bang, the multi-colored mobile stage light beams the whole place as we start our music. Jokko on the Vocal, Johannes on the Guitar, XP on the keyboard and I'm keeping the beat with my drumset. As we played, the footage of me and my groups adventure were flashing on the white screens for all the audience to see.

And then I closed my eyes, letting myself immerse in my imagination, I could see from the eyes of the future me. The audience, the cheer, my family, and most importantly... the EXPERIENCE. flashing back to how it all started, of all the hardship I went through to earn the right to be on stage, and how proud my late father would be. I could finally prove to my dad that I am not the same uncaring, timid, pushover, useless kid I used to be. I finally fulfilled the promise I made with you on your dying bed about being able to take care of myself. At the front VIP seat, mom was smiling, cheering and clapping for us, as if saying that she is proud of all of us, and occasionally wiping her watery cheek.

One day, all of us WILL perform on stage, and the whole atmosphere will be just like 五月天concert.

梦想永远是逆光

只有剪影的模样

会有什么细节

什么体验

不要只猜想

You know that situation where you wished someone hadn't tell you something? Even if they did, please have some facts to back them up. who knows what kind of misunderstanding or misconception the person listening will come up with. Is this what they called "Ignorance is bliss"? Damn, I would do anything just to get the information out of my head.

Lately, I woke up everyday, feeling chained and frustrated.
I loathe this feeling, having to wake up so early in the morning, being "Forced" to work.

I'm so easily get carried away.

But again, there are always some things which you can't go against, right?

Man, it ache so much!

It's 1am in the morning and I'm still awake.
Damn movie, too nice to put down.



So romantic, so... fairy tale-ish.

Rise of the Guardian.
The movie preview looks promising, but I had a feeling that this movie would flunk.
Not anybody could just pull off a plot with such famous folklore characters.
But amazingly, everything fall into place!
The plot matched the origin and job of the characters.

Jack Frost, Boogie man, Santas Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Sandman.
Each of them fit their "Occupation",
and the events in the movie really links to real life's festive season.
Exciting battles, cool characters, with a deep moral story.

I'm giving this movie a 5, or at the very least... a 4.5

I can't believe myself to be able to came up with such sentence.
"If success is determined by the amount of effort you put in, I'll be a millionaire".
It wasn't a word of wisdom, but close enough.

After much thought, I realised I actually heard of it somewhere before.
It was in one of the movies I watched or something.
"If success is determined only be the amount of efforts put in, everyone would be a billionaire."

Typing like this sounds like a good idea.
It looks as if I'm busy writing an email.
Now what should I post about?

Oh, I'm drinking green tea right now to keep myself awake.
At the same time, browsing Sentosa images.
Such an irony that I've been living in this small Singapore Island,
and yet I see so many images of Singapore that I've never been to.
Looking at how the people in the pictures pose and having a great time... (Envy)

I've been reading this book regarding 5 Levels of Leadership.
I'm hoping to gain insight from this book that can help me with People Relation.
I'm left with the last few pages, but with me being me,
I'm very dissapointed with myself that very little of what I've read really got processed.
Well, I do realised a few things.
A person with a position doesn't make him a leader,
His action and his core value does. So just like what Yan Zuan always said,
"Lead by example".
You can't get somebody to do something that you are not willing to do.

Oh yes, the book also mentioned that blogging actually helps in organising your mind.
That is also the reason why I starts blogging more frequently now.

Finished my work, nothing to do since 3pm...
Boss having business discussion, and she is just right behind me.
Can't surf internet, have to look busy.
And I'm freakin sleepy! Why does my position have to be just in front of her!

This company keep sucking up my time, keeping me from going off on time,
I hate it so much especially when I have something on and yet they do this.
Feels like exploding in their face, but I'm gonna stay my cool,
one of the trait of a leader is keeping calm in extreme situation.

"我需要你帮我做这个箱子白标的底，
全部都根据这里一摸一样,
待会儿我会把 Adam Cook交给你.“

”Adam Cook?"

“是啊，每个箱子都有不一样的Adam Cook啊“

“哦~，Item Code~"

Sometimes it's hilarious to converse with a PRC

"没梦的人睡不醒，有梦的人睡不着"

读起来多么可笑，可是也多么的真实！

还有Patrick Joe 所说的, "Study Hard, Work Hard, Die"

可悲的是，现代就是有那么多的人向现实降服, 

"读个像样的学校，找个像样的工作，找个像样的地方永眠"

上了星期二的中心会议，颜钻宣布了他的目标，以及燃烧了我们所有人里面的一把火。

颜钻说他相信我们都可以上钻石！在明年之前要在中心聚集100个人！

然后明年集聚更多更多的人！这样的话，钻石之路将不会离我们有多远。

五年定江山，我们都可以上FC!

It's amazing how many negative people there are around us.

Some are so negative, they tend to think of all the negative matters in the world ALL THE TIME.

Perhaps I've been listening to Mayday for too long, but as I listen, I came to a realization. Perhaps the reason why they are considered to be the top Rock Band among the Chinese is that because their lyrics spoke of our life. It speaks for us and you felt that there is someone in this world that understands you. You can imagine yourself in the scenario while you are listening to their music. And another factor is the truth in the lyrics. It speaks wisdom and encourages people. We want to someone who encourage us, we want someone who cheer us up.


It's the same as whatever we always do. A relationship only develops when both parties shows interest towards each other. It will not happen if it is one-sided. And a relationship will reach a whole new level when a party were able to get the other party through a rough time. This bond is the type of relationship that is slowly depleting in our current society.

当你真心帮助一个人的时候, 好事将会发生.

就像May所说的"好人有好报".

只为了想帮一个朋友止痒,喷了一次口喷,之后他就马上跟我要了一个!

Wow, the power of 成功领. Been rejected 3 times in a row, and yet still no negative thoughts. It doesn't matter, I'll move on to the next one, I still believe that sooner or later they will understand.
