Wonder

2010-10-12T20:27:00.000+08:00

I really wonder sometimes am I following what my heart tells me. It seems always there's a phobia behind it. I think I know too much about it, somehow shun away. After 2 times, I am scared. I know what my heart wants, but my mind isn't acting what my heart wants. I wished someone can just knocked me into inception, and I could pour out everything.

I have thousands of ways to earn money, network and jokes around. Is that enough?

I am afraid to say out, it seems the only negative part of my life. It seems I can only wait, wait and wait. Just prolong the time and destroy that part of my life plan and target. I've seen too much and know too much. I am not afraid of competition, but why it's just freaking pessimistic on it.

I wish the current course have a portion whereby they will ask us to speak the Moment of Truth (MOT).

Selling Combs to Monks

2010-07-16T06:52:00.000+08:00

There is one company "manufacturing combs" which intends to expand its business and therefore, the management needs to employ a new Sales Manager.

The company ADVERTISED the vacancy in the newspaper. Many people turned up for the interview daily....adding up to almost a hundred interviewees in just few days.

The Company now faces the problem in choosing the right candidate for this position. So the Company’s HR manager sets out a task to those who wanted to come for the final interview.

The task: Selling Combs To Monks In Temples

Only 3 applicants are willing to stay on for this Final Interview challenge:- A, B and C

The HR manager instructed: "Now I want three of you to sell these wooden combs to the monks in the temples. You only have 10 days to do it and report to me."
After 10 days, they reported.

The HR manager asked A: "How many have you sold ?"
A answered: "Only One."

HR manager asked: "How did you manage to sell one ?

A answered: "The monks in the temple scolded me when I showed them the comb but on my way downhill, I met a young monk who bought it to scratch his head due to dandruff.”

The HR manager then asked B: "How many did you sell ?

B replied: "10 pieces. I went to a shrine and noticed that many devotees' hair were in a mess due to strong winds outside the shrine. The monk listened to my advice and bought 10 combs for their devotees as a mark of respect to Buddha."

Then, the HR manager asked C: "What about you ?"

C replied: "1,000 units."

The HR manager and the other 2 interviewees were astounded.

HR manager asked: "How did you do that ?"

C replied: "I went to a famous temple. After observing for a few days, I discovered that there were many tourists. I then told the Chief Abbot there. "Sifu, those who come here are very devoted. If you could give them a gift, it will be more elating to them. I told him that I have a bulk of combs here and asked him to put his signature on the combs as a present to these visitors. He was very delighted and immediately ordered 1,000 pieces."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

HARVARD UNIVERSITY did a research:-

1) 85% of success is due to attitude and 15% is capability
2) Attitude is more important than intelligence, specials skills or luck..

In other words, professional knowledge only constitutes for 15% success factor while 85% is due to self-cultivation, public relations and adaptability.

Still remember the story of Selling Shoes to Africans?

When 2 Salesmen were sent to Africa, one of them reported: “Cannot do it. No one wears shoes over there!”

The second salesman said: "It is good to market. A lot of opportunities."

Success and Failure is dependent on how we face problems.

Remember, when the economic is good, there are people going bankrupt.

When business is bad, there are many new millionaires as well. So apply the 85% of the right working attitude fully.

With this story, we learn to "think out of the box" and even with 15% capability, we are confident to solve problems as long as we have the RIGHT WORKING ATTITUDE, COMMITMENT, DISCIPLINED, DEDICATED and DETERMINED.

DO NOT FIND EXCUSES NOT TO DO THE POSSIBLE BUT INSTEAD, FIND WAYS AND MEANS TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. That's the right working attitude !

How Smoking Affects People Orally

2010-05-19T06:48:00.000+08:00

Not many people think about the way smoking can affect your teeth. Everyone’s main focus is that smoking just causes cancer, high blood pressure, heart attacks and heart disease. Smoking affects a lot more than just the body, significantly impacting one’s oral health as well. People who smoke increase the risk of developing oral cancer and gum disease (which leads to tooth loss and loss of jaw bone). Smoking also causes bad breath, tooth discolouration, inflammation of the salivary gland that opens the roof of the mouth, increased build up of plaque and tartar on the teeth and many more complications. The American Heart Association has stated that about 23 per cent of adults smoke and about 30 per cent of adolescents smoke in the US alone. Dr. Sherzoy of Bergen County, New Jersey, has been educating his patients about the harm they are causing to their mouth by smoking for nearly 20 years. Patients from all over Bergen County have trusted Dr. Sherzoy to restore their smile from the damages smoking has caused. Even if you do not smoke cigarettes, cigars or pipes, smokeless tobacco is just as harmful. Smokeless tobacco products, such as snuff and chewing tobacco, have at least 28 chemicals (same as cigarettes, pipes, and similar products). Those have been shown to increase the risk of oral, throat and esophagus cancer. Smokeless tobacco can irritate your gums, causing it to recede or pull away from your teeth. This can cause the root of your teeth to become exposed, making it very uncomfortable to eat and drink due to the sensitivity. A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association showed that chewing tobacco users were four times more likely than non-users to develop tooth decay due to the sugars, sand and grit they used in smokeless tobacco.

10 Ways To Be A Good Listener

2010-05-09T22:47:00.000+08:00

Being a good listener is one of the most important skills you can master if you want to advance your career and build meaningful relationships. When you REALLY listen, you demonstrate your interest in what is being said and you show your respect for the individual saying it. Listening is a magnetic force that draws people to us.
Have you ever talked to someone and noticed he or she wasn’t really listening to you? How did it make you feel? Unimportant? Disrespected? Insulted? Remember those feelings and work diligently to ensure that people never feel the same way when they talk to you.
In this post I will highlight 10 things I have learned throughout my career in addition to some lessons my dad taught me. My dad is the best listener I know. Everyone who meets him forms an instant bond with him and I am convinced that the number one reason for this immediate connection is his genuine and sincere interest in others. It all starts with him being a good listener.
1. Make Eye Contact—The first step in being a good listener is to make eye contact with people while they are talking. Good eye contact demonstrates genuine interest in the person and the conversation.
2. Be Present—I must admit I have been accused at times by my wife of not being present when she is talking even though I am looking into her eyes. These are times when my mind is thinking about something other than what she is talking about. I can only assume others have noticed, but perhaps at the risk of offending me, they have not said anything. The key here is to be aware that people do notice if we are not really listening. And so we must focus on the discussion and not allow our minds to wonder.
3. Give NO Sign You are Ready to Respond—When you are listening, don’t give any clues that you are ready to respond. Don’t point your finger and don’t open your mouth. When I talk to people and I see that they are waiting on pins and needles to respond, I know they are no longer listening because they are more concerned with how they are going to respond than with listening to what I have to say.
4. Wait Two Seconds to Respond—During a conversation, wait two seconds after the person finishes speaking to make sure they have finished their thought. This is especially important when talking on the phone, because you can’t see their facial expression. Often times they are just pausing to gather their thoughts and are not really finished speaking. If you find yourself talking at the same time someone else is talking, then use that opportunity to remind yourself of the “pause two seconds” rule.
5. Let Them Go First—If you start talking at the same time someone else is trying to finish their thought, STOP and say, “I’m sorry, please continue” and let them finish before responding. Even if what you have to say is important or it’s an answer to the question they raised, show them your respect by letting them finish. I certainly notice when people allow me to complete my sentences without “over talking” or interrupting. Do you?
6. Care About What’s Being Said—This is where my dad stands out from most people. When he listens he really cares about what is being said, even if it’s a subject that doesn’t interest him. He tells me that this is his way of showing people that what they say is important and that they are valuable individuals.
7. Listen For The Message Within The Message—Another one of my dad’s skills is to listen for the message within the message. By listening intently, he is able to grasp the topic and move more effectively into the conversation. He says that most people are looking for encouragement, answers or insights to the subjects they discuss. By listening in this manner, he is able to connect more effectively.
8. Don’t Change The Subject—When you are engaged in a conversation, don’t change the subject unless the discussion is finished. I observe people who do this all the time in small group settings, business meetings and social encounters. If you change the subject of a discussion prematurely, you demonstrate a lack of interest in the discussion and indicate that what you have to say is more important.
9. Respond By Asking Questions—When you ask people questions during a conversation, you show a sincere interest in the topic. My dad says that most people operate at “the feeling level”, rather than “the thinking level”, even if they are good thinkers. I agree! My Dad’s favorite question is to ask how they FEEL about the subject they have raised.
10. Don’t Start a Side Conversation—When part of a group conversation, never start a side conversation, even if the person talking is not making eye contact with you. Yes, they should be including you in the conversation by sharing eye contact equally with each person in the group, but don’t allow their mistake to prevent you from being a good listener.

Am I Happy?

2010-03-10T20:51:00.000+08:00

Have you ever think are you really happy?

I seem to be always saying that I am happy, but am I really happy? I had found a holiday job; business is going well, family relationship is great too, what am I lagging?

I had taken a quiz from facebook and this was the result I had got:

"You tend to laugh and joke around when you are with everyone, but you feel lonely and empty when are all alone. You cry alone when you have stress and problems. You often have many problems that are bugging you, but you never show them out on your face. You are not as c...heerful as they thought, but you just don't wish to spoil the mood of everyone, hence you hide your emotions inside. You are just a weak human with feelings after all."

This seems to depict me out partly. I always thought that people's joys are my happiness, "When people around me are happy, I am happy." I tend to laugh and joke around when I am with everyone, yes that's true. I dislike being lonely, in fact sometimes I will just "emo" when I am alone. I had been thinking, why I am working so hard, running businesses while studying, working during holidays and etc. What is my eventual goal? I know my target is to earn my first million by the age of 25, by norm; guys will only graduate around 25 to 26 years old (due to NS) after they get their degree. A lot of people will view a million as impossible goal of life, but I must prove I can do it.

What do you plan to do after your diploma? (for students who are studying for diploma now) I am currently studying Mechatronics in Singapore Polytechnic, its Mechanical and Electronics Engineering in long terms. After my diploma, yes I need to enter NS (2 years gone). I have 4 choices, first choice is to study full time degree, second choice is to study part time degree and work full time, third choice is to full time run all my businesses, fourth choice is to take Part Time Degree during my NS (Provided they allow). My eventual target in education is to get Masters in Business Administration.

Alright, it had been a long time since I had blog; I hope I will blog frequently from now on. Thanks!

6 Advantages To Starting A Business In College

2010-01-25T00:07:00.000+08:00

Considering starting a business while in school? Companies like Dell, Microsoft and hundreds of others started in a dorm room and so can you. Here are several reasons why you should take the leap and take control of your future while in college:

1. Campus Advisory Board – Is there a school of business on your campus? If there is, you will have access to entire advisory departments: finance, management, marketing, accounting, legal and more. Professors are more than willing to help use their expertise and connections to see a student from their school succeed in the business world. Start your business and don’t hesitate to ask for help. These PhD’s are often well networked and experienced.

2. Word of Mouth – Word spreads quickly on campus and it will be your cheapest form of marketing. There is no better endorsement to buy a product or service than having a recommendation from a friend. It’s almost like hearing “Hey, everyone is going to this party tonight, you have to be there.” Napster music sharing service started in a college dorm room and spread like wildfire because of the students’ proximity to one another. Use this to your advantage.

3. Technology - Colleges are a hotbed of technology and people who understand it. Chances are your school offers WiFi, copy and fax machines, scanners, software, a high tech library, students walk around with cell phones, iPods, and laptops. You are in one of the most well connected places on earth – take full advantage. Everything that you need to start your business is right infront of you. In a real bind? Make friends with the IT department and they will help you out.

4. Campus Resources – Many colleges have amazing alumni networks, incubators, and entrepreneurship clubs set up already. If they don’t–look into creating a chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization on your campus. The more entrepreneurial people you surround yourself with the more driven and motivated you will become. Entrepreneurship is a long hard battle, you will need a quality support group.

5. Access to Cheap Labor – Your college or university is full of young people trying to gain new experiences and a little bit of spending money. Need help with your business? Look no further than other college students. Many students will do unpaid internship if you make the experience worth their while. Find other entrepreneurial minded students and pay them a commission based salary or find someone who wants to work part time for an hourly wage. Need web development done? Ask around campus or post a job with your Career Services Center.

6. Now is the Time – Don’t wait until you have a mortgage and kids to start your business, do it while you have some breathing room attending college. You could be out partying 24-7 or you could make the sacrafice now. You might even have the option of moving home after graduation and boostrapping your business from your parents basement. Tackle the challenge of starting a business while you have a crutch to lean on.

Fail to Plan, Plan To Fail: The Importance of Goal Setting

2010-01-09T15:59:00.000+08:00

Goal setting is a powerful tool, whether applied to one’s professional life, personal aspirations or health objectives. In fact, goal setting can make the critical difference between success and failure.
One obvious goal of many may be to simply stick to your diet and/or exericse program in the context of a busy, overscheduled daily routine, but effective goal setting goes far beyond this fairly elementary ambition.
While life may seem out of control at times and that you’re a passenger in life rather than the driver, remind yourselg that YOU hold the greatest power of all – that is the ability to design your own life. You can wake up every morning and decide to exercise, lift your own spirit through positive affirmations, and eat a nutritious breakfast, or you can choose other options that may be detrimental to your emotional and/or physical health. Ultimately, the decision is yours and yours alone.

Here are a few tips to make lifetime commitments through goal setting:

1. Don’t compare yourself with anyone except your self. This is not about winning or losing. This is about making your life better – whatever that means for YOU.

2. Focus on the present – How will you feel after your exercise session today? Will your ability to resist that danish fill you with a sense of accomplishment?

3. Imagine the results – literally. How you picture yourself is often a self fulfilling proficy. Day dream in detail about how you would like to look. Athletes picture themselves performing their event over and over again in ther minds until they finally perfect it. If you see your self as soft, sloppy, weak, tired, or stressed, this may very well become yoru reality for just thinking it. Picture yourself standing tall taking deep breaths, confidently striding forward as you approach life head on.

4. Take small steps – they DO count! It’s impossible to stop smoking, start drinking 64 oz of water, and exerising 5 days a week. Start slowly, one attainable goal at a time. Begin with taking a short walk and slowly work your way up.

5. Be patient – it make take weeks before you start noticing you have more energy, your clothes are fitting more loosely and you aren’t getting short of breath walking up a flight of steps. When you do recognize these signs of achievement, revel in the glory.

6. Put holes in your excuses. When you find your self coming up with an excuse not to exercise, go back to the reasons why you want to exericse in the first place. Put a stop to the negative self talk and obstacle formation. Grab that mental sledge hammer and break through!

7. Journal – If you do just one thing related to goal seetting, begin journaling. Tracking your progress can help you stay focused. Write down not only your goals, but what exercises you did, how you are feeling and what small changes you are noticing in your everyday life like, not being short of breath or lifting something with ease, or having less pain. Writing your goals in front of your journal would help you to review them daily.

Days in my Holiday

2009-12-23T23:26:00.003+08:00

It had been some time since I blogged. Haha I am actually typing this post in the plane on the way to Shen Zhen.

It is actually school holiday now, but I don't seem to spend much of the time in Singapore. I just came back from a KL and Genting trip 2 days ago, with my classmates, Hui Ting and Qi Jia. Well that's a fun trip; I went to the place that I had always wanted to go since young, which is Petronas Tower sky bridge. Another one of my dreams had been fulfilled, and there are still many dreams to be fulfilled. The other places that we went were the normal places that all tourists would go, which is Times Square, KLCC etc. This trip I did not bring them to Chinatown due to the rainy weather.

Now I am in the plane on the way to Shen Zhen, China to visit my uncle. It had been 3 years since I had been there, and I believe that there are huge changes there. I will update more when I am there. I had registered both my t-shirt printing business and sports accessories business. T-shirt printing business is solely owned by
me, but soon I will incorporate to combine with my sports accessories business. My sports accessories business is a limited liability partnership business running by my partner, Kelvin Ng and
me. The name of my t-shirt printing business is "AttracTEEve Creations" and my sports accessories business is "Ultimate Focus LLP".

In this year of 2009, I felt that I am very lucky. To mark the start of 2009, the most significant matter that shook the world economy will be the big crash in stock market. I made use this chance to gain a lot
of knowledge on how to invest in stock market. Do take note that I wrote invest, not play. Whenever people talk about stock market, majority of the people's mind will think that stock market is "so risky, very easy to lose money, I think I put in fixed deposit will be better and safer". But instead, before people invest in stock market, do they look that what stock are they actually buying, calculating the intrinsic value, P.E ratio, look at financial reports? I guess majority of them don't, and that includes my father. In fact if you look at the inflation, every year if you put your money in fixed deposit, you are actually losing the value if money instead if earning. Let's see, inflation average at around 4%, your fixed deposit interest rate is only around 2%, you are in fact losing the value instead of gaining. Let's come back to stock market, if you know how to get in at the right time, and you hold the right stock as long as possible, for sure you can earn money. Because in long term, due to inflation and many other factors, price of the raw materials and many other stuffs will go up for sure. Buying US stock like P&G, Coca Cola, Kraft have their value there. And the stock were bought by world
richest investor, Warren Buffett too, who run the US most expensive stock company, Berkshire Hathaway. In Singapore, stock like OCBC, UOB, DBS and SPH can be bought. DBS owns POSB, which held more than 50% of the older generation bank accounts; therefore DBS cannot collapse and won't collapse unless the government collapses.

Feelings? I guess that we can only be friends, maybe what numerology state is right, 8 and 33 do not really match. Sometimes I wish I do not need to stress about this kind of matters. Just me and myself, no other people, not need to care about other things. But as long as she's happy, it's enough already. I will be expanding my business, but with someone to share my joy of course I will feel happier.

Just a short summary of my current life, will update more when I am back in Singapore.

Successful Team

2009-12-09T21:18:00.000+08:00

A successful team is made up of team members who:

1. are interdependent. They are willing to ask for help when they need it and offer help when they can provide it.

2. compete outwardly, not among themselves. There are three things you can use to create healthy competition: a competitor in the marketplace, a team goal to be achieved or a common problem to be solved.

3. are self-starters. Since they understand the big picture, they don't need to be told what to do.

4. share rewards and sacrifices. Don't expect people to make sacrifices if they won't get to share in the rewards later.

The best thing to strive for is no a team with a great leaders, but a team of leaders.

What's the difference between family members and friends?‏

2009-12-04T21:35:00.000+08:00

I heard this question while walking with my friends during our break time yesterday afternoon. I had given it a thought and decided to blog on it.

In my opinion, both family members and friends are important people in our life.

Family Members.
Why? Because family members are that showers love on you since you are born. It's countless effort that they stayed up the whole night just to take care of you when you are sick despite they are tired. They brought you to the doctor immediately when you are sick. Your mum had a torture time carrying you around in her womb for 9 months, and not to count the pain during giving birth. You might wonder why I kept talking about mother but not father.
Alright, Father's time. Before you read the next sentence. Think. How noble is your Dad? Is he wonderful? If I asked you to describe about your Dad, how will you describe him?

My Dad had the same routine for the past few decades which is to work and feed the family. He is an electrical engineer, and yes I am proud of him. During my primary school and younger days, I didn't talk much with him, because I was closer to my Mother. But it was during the day when I collected my PSLE results, I had got a result that was terrible and not within what he had expected. It was a big surprised to me too, because I didn't expect myself to get such a low mark. I can still remember that Dad still brought me to have Fish ball noodle for lunch. But we did not talk, and that time I did not know what to say either. Time went past; I got to choose which secondary to enter. For my terrible results, I could only enter to the nearby school which is Yishun Secondary School as my first choice. My best friend, Danny, entered to Catholic High School. I did not expect my results could enter into the first class there, I was surprised too. Dad would drive me to school on every Tuesday and Thursday. And he would drive me to school during raining days too. My thinking began to change after I entered into that school. It seems weird but true, this neighbourhood school had moulded partly to what I am now. I had graduated from YSS since 2007 in Express.

Friends.
Alright! It’s time to describe about friends. Why friends are also important key personnel in your life?

I will like to say there are 2 kinds of stage in 1 life, which is the inner stage and exterior stage. The inner stage is family, and exterior stage is friends.
Why is the exterior stage so important in one person's life?
It's because for most of the time, especially during maturity period, teenagers will find parents' nagging a torture. (Which I passed through too.) Teenagers will think that they are very long winded, and whatever they say teenagers will treat it as nonsense. They will prefer to go out with their friends. At this stage, Friends are the important key personnel that could either bring them to be better or become bad! It's because normally if you have any problems that you faced you will sought help from friends. At this point of time, it's to open your eyes, ears and heart big enough to know who's good and who will lead you bad. Not everything of what your friend say is correct, but it's to listen, digest it, absorb what is correct and discard off what's wrong. Family members' advices can be sought after 99% of the time, because they want you to be better too. 1% is when they gave the wrong information. You must open your eyes big to find true friends that will guide you along, be with you during your hard times, that you can learn a lot of things from them(Vice-versa).

Well that's what I think about it. You might want to sit down and think about that question.

Busy Life!‏

It had been sometime since I blog, therefore I am back! To update it or it will be plain.

Days are busy for me since school had started; new business is coming up, which is getting 2 distributor licenses to sell bicycle accessories in Singapore. I am registering my t-shirt printing business soon too. And that business will most likely be called "AttracTEEve Productions" or somehow like that. Studies! This semester is all about theories, which make me who hates theories suffer big time. But well, I got to go through this stage anyway, so I must at least pass this semester! In studies I don't demand much on myself, unlike business, I demand results hugely. In business it's not about how many hours you spent on your work, but it's about productivity.

I can conclude that the previous feeling is just merely a illusion. It's just because I got close to her suddenly that made me thought that I like her. But it's not and I need to get over it to proceed to the next stage of life. Kloudiia had been a great helper to my feelings these few months, thank you very much. I will recommend your book to my friends.

"Everyone is given an opportunity, it's just the matter of taking the challenge to step out of their comfort zone to proceed to the next stage of life or just stay within it and stay there for the rest of life."

"Make the change before you are forced to change."
Maybe by the time you want to make the change, it will be too late for you to change. Do not live in regret, change immediately when you find out you have to change.

Leo Strength Keywords:

- Confident
- Ambitious
- Generous
- Loyal
- Encouraging

Leo Weakness Keywords:

- Pretentious
- Domineering
- Melodramatic
- Stubborn
- Vain

Leo and Independence:

Leo is very independent but they need something to control and someone to admire them and appreciate them. They are fully capable of being greatly successful on their own but they are much happier if they have an audience and a following of people who look up to them. They would prefer not be alone.

Leo and Friendship:

People are attracted to Leo's zest for life and their warm spirit. They have the ability to lift up one's spirits and provide encouragement when times are rough. Their enthusiasm attracts people, Leos are social butterflies, not because they want to be but because people always naturally gravitate and surround the Leo. Leos are very difficult people to not like, they are usually fairly balanced, realistic people. They never dwell on the past and they will think you are strange if you do. Some Leos might be too caught up in themselves and be very self-centered but they are never too self-absorbed to help anyone who needs it. They pamper their friends and treat them well. A Leo is the ultimate friend. They do not hold a grudge and they are very forgiving. They have respect and understanding of people's differences.

Leo and Business:

Business dealings are easy and successful for Leo, if they are in command and control. This can cause conflict in the workplace should the Leo not be in a position of superiority, but they usually get there eventually thanks to their powerful drive to succeed, in other words, they are excellent leaders because this is their kingdom they have to control, and they do it well. Leo has an amazing ability to get along with people and they work best in a group as opposed to alone. They can be very diplomatic in a group setting and can delegate people well, however Leo will not take orders. They need to give orders but with their enthusiasm and cheerfulness, other people do not have a problem taking orders from a Leo because they are never condescending and they treat others with respect and equality. Leos are full of drama, flair and extravagance and this reflects in the business world. They make an impact, they make a difference in the workplace and help to keep the parts moving in sync and iron out any problems before they arise. If the business fails, that means that Leo fails and they are extremely determined not to fail. Leo is the most extravagant sender of all astrology signs. They will not over do it but they will surround themselves with luxury as much as possible. They will never settle for second best.

Leo Temperament:

Leo loves the new and extraordinary, they despise dull, regular routines and if this is what they are faced with, they will simply create their own drama and excitement. This makes Leo prone to stir up a situation out of nowhere just for something to keep their vivacious temperament satisfied. Leo has an amazing ability to bounce back from any feelings of despair or unfortunate events. They do not like to be unhappy, it hurts their pride so they will take matters into their own hands and make things right again. Leos could come into conflict with other powerhouse type of people who will not take orders and not give an inch, Leos will not budge their opinion, they will understand and accept opinions of others but they do not take well to people to try to impose their beliefs on them. Leo most often have the temperament of a demanding, spoiled child but this is only shown if someone steps on the boundaries of their kingdom. They react this way because of their territoriality.

Leo Deep Inside:

Leos are extremely sensitive but they hide that very well. Leos love praise and flattery, their egos demand respect and adoration. Leo is all about pride. This can cause them to be self-centered but the warmth of the Leo heart keeps it under control. If Leo's audience (otherwise known as their friends) do not provide the needed appreciation, Leo is too proud to ask for it and they will suffer a hurt ego, but no one will ever know and they will suffer in silence. The secret of the Leo is that they need to be needed.

Leo in a Nutshell:

Leo is the lion, this well suited symbol represents Leo very well. They possess a kingdom which they protest and cherish. The are high esteemed, honorable and very devoted to themselves in particular! The kingdom could be anything from work to home to a partner, whatever it is, you rule it. Leo is always center stage and full of flair, they enjoy basking in the spotlight. A Leo always makes their presence known. Leo are full of energy that acts like a magnet for other people. Others are attracted to Leo's wit, charm, and what they have to say for they speak of things grand and very interesting. Leo will never settle for second best. They want only the best which can cause lavish excessive spending habits as they enjoy their life of luxury, which is all to easily justified by the grand and magnificent Leo! Public image is very important to Leo, with luxurious possessions and ways of life, this keeps the public image in high standing. They will do whatever it takes to protect their own reputation. Leos are very generous, kind and openhearted people. If a Leo is crossed, they will strike back with force but they are not one to hold a grudge, they easily forgive, forget and move on. Leos are always trying to make things right in the world, they have larger then life emotions and they need to feel like they have accomplished something at the end of the day. They react to situations with action instead of sitting back and thinking about it, they are not impulsive however because they look at the future and consider consequences of their actions.

A New Post

2009-11-07T19:17:00.001+08:00

After a long break from blogging, I had decided to blog once again. Haha

It's the third week after I am back from KL. Well what I can say is that life there is much more relaxing, I guess it's partly due to the different culture. Pace there are slower than Singapore.

To summarize what had I done in KL,
1. I was appointed president of Young Entrepreneur Society Singapore. www.yes.org.sg
2. Assist in planning of WSSA Stack Up! 2009 Malaysia Guiness World Record event which will take place next week. (12 Nov 09). www.wssasia.org
3. Ginseng project kicked off.
4. Bicycle lights business.
5. Ongoing preparation for online pageant competition.
6. And many more which I might use the whole day to talk about.

I had not been cycling for more than two months, yes I missed cycling. I had sold my Giant frame away before I went for my itp, because I had decided to change back to my old GT Pantera frame which I miss a lot. Therefore I got to quickly fix up and get back to cycling! Haha.

My family went to Shen Zhen for holiday this week till next Tuesday midnight. Well when they are back on that day I will go over to KL to assist in the operation of the Guinness World Record event, WSSA Stack Up! 2009. At the end of the operation, all the participants will receive a certificate. Going there on the 10th and coming back to Singapore on the 12th. It seems like a business trip.

With regards to my relationship, I will conclude here that I had done my best in courting Jia Wei. She's currently being take care of by her boyfriend now, therefore I had already gave her my sincere blessing for her current relationship and I hopes that her bf will treat her good and make her happy every day. =)

It was only recently I begin to develop a feeling for this unique girl. She had been listening to all my craps about chasing girl. This feeling is really a very special one, is it really that feelings can be nurtured and develop overtime? I bet there are *requirements* that every guy on earth have to find his dream girl, yea of course that I have my *requirements* too. But for this I twist and turn to answer all my personal queries, in fact after some minor edits, she fits into all my *requirements*. My mentor once said to me, "If you focus on the problems, more and more problems will appear. But if you focus on the bright side, more and more things can be solved and be better." This theory applies with "Law of Attractions", whereby Thoughts become Things.

Well that's it that I want to say about my current life, got work to do!!

This is already counted not bad. =)

Are you an Entrepreneur?

2009-09-28T14:28:00.002+08:00

Took the test from http://www.rachelelnaugh.com and this is the result I had got.

Execpreneurs have usually achieved success in a structured corporate environment before they decide to ‘go it alone’ and create their own business.

They usually opt for a business in the same sector as their corporate expertise, frequently teaming up with colleagues to create their own business.

They enjoyed the structure and routine of a corporate existence and may find it difficult to achieve the self-discipline required to work for themselve s - especially if they work from home.

However, Execpreneurs are very structured and are good at following projects through to the end, provided t he project has been defined at the outset. They find it difficult to work with ambiguity or to just run with ideas and deal with issues as they happen.

As people who are used to being part of a larger organisation, they may find the autonomy and loneliness of running their own business difficult, particularly in the early days.

Rather than starting a business on a shoestring budget, Execpreneurs are better suited to creating a detailed bus iness plan and obtaining funding, to enable them to create the structure they need to work efficiently from the outset.

Risk averse, they find it difficult to cope with the unpredictability of variable revenue streams. They tend to be far better playing with ‘Other People's Money’ and their business plans almost always feature a monthly salary from the outset. Execpreneurs like the certainty of a monthly pay cheque!

Ex ecpreneurs who are new to business may find it easier to achieve success opting for an established business franchise opportunity rather than creating their own business from scratch, as it gives them rules and structure as well as increased chances of business success.

Travelling Overseas

2009-09-15T11:54:00.001+08:00

Do Singaporean like to travel overseas?

My Personality Type: The Determined Realist

2009-09-04T21:57:00.000+08:00

Determined Realists like to bear responsibility and welcome challenges. They are stable, reliable persons. External contacts are very important to them; they mix well and are very active. They are excellent organisers and are very happy when things are done correctly and punctually; they can quickly react impatiently if others are not as conscientious, orderly and dutiful as they are. They prefer structured work which produces visible results quickly to abstract, long-drawn-out processes. Determined Realists have no problem with routine as long as it serves efficiency. However, they very much dislike unexpected and unpredictable occurrences which mess up their careful plans. Once they have committed themselves to a cause they do this with dedication and are willing to make considerable sacrifices for it.

Determined Realists do not avoid conflicts and criticism but face up to them and look for solutions. As they have a keen eye for the errors and shortcomings of others and are often quick at expressing criticism, they sometimes rub people up the wrong way especially when they lose their temper and jump to conclusions. Due to their marked sense of justice they are quickly willing to correct themselves and never take offence if someone speaks to them frankly. You do not have to seek hidden motives with them; you always know where you are. Determined Realists are often found in executive positions as they combine commitment, competence and the ability to assert themselves. In their spare time, they often also accept responsibility in clubs and other institutions.

Traditions rate highly with Determined Realists. They attend every family event and never forget a birthday or wedding anniversary. Family and friends are very important to them. With their open, communicative manner, they find it easy to get to know people and have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. They are never superficial, but reliable and loyal friends who are always there when they are needed. Determined Realists take their relationships very seriously - they dream of finding a partner for life. In a love relationship, they seek above all stability and loyalty and here, too, they are willing to invest a lot in a harmonious togetherness. Determined Realists master crises or difficult phases with composure; they would never think of breaking a promise given. As a partner, one can always rely on their support.

Career

As a Determined Realist, you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a team as a colleague or a team leader. Because you have an outgoing nature, you approach others easily and openly; working in solitude by yourself would be punishment for you. You know how to appreciate a harmonic working climate, but the relationship to your colleagues is not as important to you as to some of the other personality types. For you, the task always comes first and your colleagues and/or superiors are second. As long as everybody is working as disciplined and determined as you are, everything is just fine.

However, if you sense that the work is suffering from irrelevant disputes or private matters that have nothing to do with the job, you have no problem expressing your criticism, and making your team toe the line. It would never occur to you to sacrifice a good result in your work on the altar of personal moods, or in favor of a conflict free environment. On the other hand, you are one of the personality types who is best at handling criticism, and swallow negative feedback without brooding or sink into depression. Consequently, you also can hold your ground in professions where the climate is a little rougher and more competition oriented.

You are an excellent organizer, and a genius at planning and maintaining a workflow that is precise and on time. You enjoy dealing with details and facts, developing rules and guidelines, and establishing standards. Here, your natural sense for systematic and love of order prove to be advantageous; as well as your acute aptitude to see the most efficient of all possible approaches.

Love

Your personality type belongs to the most loyal and most faithful types. Even though you are able to fall in love head over heels if the stars are properly aligned, recklessness in dealing with your feelings, and those of others, is totally foreign to you. A relationship is a very important obligation for you. You take it very seriously, and give it a very important place in your life. You are not scared off with sentences like “until death does us part”; on the contrary.

Security, responsibility, and stability are very important to you, and you strive for a permanent personal relationship. For that reason, you are very comfortable in the established traditions such as marriage and family. Once you make a promise, one can be sure that you’ll do everything in your power to keep it, and this especially applies to matters of love. Especially in the “tough days” of a marriage, you turn out to be your partner’s invaluable harbor. You expect the same from him/her. Unfaithfulness and flightiness are going to hurt you more than most other types. Just remember that when the time comes to choose a partner, because not all personality types are as consistent as you need your partner to be.

Determined Realists like you are well grounded, and are much too sober and smart to think that in a long-term relationships, everything is going to be rosy. You are aware that highs and lows are a part of love and life, and difficult times are not going to make you unsure or discouraged. Instead of unending passion, trust, and a deep and continuing friendship between you and your partner are important to you because you know that these feelings are better suited to weather the turbulence of everyday life. Your contribution to the relationship primarily are continuity, and absolute devotion to your partner and your family. Your sense of purpose, and your need to take charge are also evident in the way you deal with your partner. You are probably the organizer, manage most of everyday life, and are in charge of your social contacts as a couple or family, as well. This does not mean that you want to be particularly dominating; you just have a pretty good notion of how things are supposed to work, and you just implement them without hesitation.

It's a Decision

2009-09-01T07:21:00.000+08:00

Sometimes it's better to give up, maybe that's a better way to release myself from torture. But after all this while of hardwork, I just wonder if it's worth it to give up or not. Hmmm.

FTT Cleared

2009-08-20T20:41:00.001+08:00

I passed my FTT yesterday, and today I had started learning driving. Driving is fun! Instructor asked if I did learn from any other person before, he said I pick up things very fast and easy to teach. Nice! Exams are coming, therefore I will update after exams.

System down at SSDC yesterday, therefore I could only print the result slip today at CDC. Here is it:

Women.. Men..

Winners are People Like You

2009-08-12T22:45:00.002+08:00

Read it from Mark's blog and found it meaningful, therefore I will post it here too.

Winners are People Like You

Winners TAKE CHANCES,
Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don’t give up. When life gets rough, they hang in until the going gets better.
Winners are FLEXIBLE. They realize there is more than one way and are willing to try others.
Winners know they are NOT PERFECT. They respect their weaknesses while making the most of their strengths.
Winners fall, but they don’t stay down. They stubbornly refuse to let a fall keep them from climbing.
Winners don’t blame fate for their failures nor luck for their success. Winners accept responsibility for their lives.
Winners are POSITIVE thinkers who see good in all things. From the ordinary, they make the EXTRAORDINARY.
Winners BELIEVE in the path they have chosen even when it’s hard, even when others can’t see where they are going
Winners are PATIENT. They know a goal is only as worthy as the effort that’s required to achieve it. Winners are people like you. They make this world a better place to be.

Dedicated to you:
I know what upcoming I will say might sounds very mundane to you, but you got to think through after and provided if you read this.

->Work
Yes work is important to you, but if you neglect your studies due to your work, how are you going to set a good example to your students? Even how well you had taught your students, you neglect your own studies, resulting in getting results that you are not contented with, what's the point of working so hard? You might need money for your daily expenses; therefore time management is very crucial.

I had told many of my friends, if you cannot juggle things well at the same time; do not neglect the important things.

->Study
Exams are coming, jia you! =D

->Life
Stay Happy and Gorgeous.

I might not be the perfect person to say this, because I am learning how to manage my time well too. But since I had seen the problem, I could not hide this anymore, it's won't be me if I see a problem exists and not rectify it. Now it's you that can rectify your own problems, therefore change before it's too late. I do have problems too, which is procrastination, and I am making effort to change it off. If I can do it, so can you!

Normal Post:

-> Why people do not improve?
It is because they are too comfortable in their comfort zone; they found it hard to make changes. They always procrastinate, and procrastination really kills a lot of people, in terms of improvement in them. They always blame other people instead of they themselves.

->How procrastination kills a big portion of students?
• When students want to study, big portions of students will either say "later", "too busy", "no time”, “another day" and a lot a lot of other words.

I will like to focus on the word "another day". The above words listed are used by normal people too, not only by students. There are seven days in a week, "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", Saturday" and "Sunday". And human being created another day named "another day". If you forever love to say "another day" I hope that you can change it off, there are already seven days a week, and another day created named "another day"? If you had said this once, you will continue saying it and it will be another forever unending.

Alright, I will continue next time. Thanks for reading.

Happy Birthday!

Nice song!

It's weekend again!

2009-08-01T09:30:00.000+08:00

Oh my goodness, it's weekend once again. Reached home one hour ago from a 75km cycling ride. Started off around 8pm on Friday night. It was a tiring one, because I had not done a long distance ride for quite a long time. My legs and hands are both tired out.

I want to monitor my expenses already, it seems to me that I had been spending overbudget for meals.

Dedicated to you:
During cycling, 1/2 the time I was thinking about you. I was missing you, seriously. I don't know why, but I just wished you were beside me. During coastal stretch, I was cycling at around 30kmph constant, I couldn't think much but only you. Take care! =D

Dedicated to you.
Congrats on passing your basic driving theory test.

Tuesday!

2009-07-28T19:45:00.001+08:00

My goodness it's tuesday again! And yes! I slept for 6.5 hours, unlike last week my average sleep hours were only like less than 6 hours. I had set determination to be back to be like my CPF working days, sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6am, at least 7 hours sleep everyday. I want to walk out of my current comfort zone! And yea, "someone" says I have more wrinkles than her, so.... got to buck up, have enough and proper sleep. =D

I got fed up with my Windows XP, yesterday I did a major overhaul to my laptop. I formatted my C drive and installed Windows 7 released candidate. It's the ultimate version, and till now I am enjoying it lots. Though I am still getting use to it, because it's using Windows Vista backbone with Windows XP interface, some of the things are similar to Windows Vista. And hereby I conclude that Windows XP is dumped, I won't go back to XP again, because Windows 7 is simply great. The licence could only last me till next year July I think, if I really like it, I think I won't mind buying it.

I want to start studying for my end of semester exams, I am planning now. The most crucial subject to me is Maths, I will start with it then, I cannot procrastinate anymore, it will kill me.

Dedicated to you:
All the best to your upcoming driving theory test, you can do it! Once a thing that you want to do become a must, you will be committed to complete it. Do not sleep too late the day before the test or you will end up not able to wake up like my friend. Whenever I received a sms or call, I was hoping it was from you. But it's not. Hope you can call me sometimes? Missing you...

WoW...

A Great Start of Weekend.

2009-07-25T22:44:00.001+08:00

Yesterday after school, Derek and I went over to JB with Chun Haw to have a night stay at his house. The new causeway is nicely built! There is a bridge built over to City Square, therefore it is so convenient to go over City Square now. We took a bus to CH's house nearby bus stop and his father picks us up. After reaching his house, CH drove us to have dinner at his city (Taman Molek) and thereafter we went to Johor Jaya Jusco shopping centre to have a walk. And we went back to his house. Derek and I slept at around 3am, after having a chat.

Today we woke up at around 8am, CH drove over to his GF's house to pick his GF up and we went for prata breakfast. Went back to his house to pick his brother for tuition class, CH went to fill his petrol tank up and we proceed back to City Square to walk around. After that Derek and I proceed back to custom to go back to Singapore. I had to rush back because I am meeting Jia Wei at around 2pm. I reached home around 1 pm, therefore I had enough time to have a bath and thereafter meet Jia Wei at Ang Mo Kio.

Jia Wei and I had lunch at Sumo House, I will say that the standard at Sumo House had dropped since my last visit one year plus ago. Jia Wei had chicken teriyaki set and I had salmon teriyaki. After lunch, we went over to AMK Hub, while I was wondering what to do, she suggested for a movie. Went over to Cathay and watch “Murderer” suggested by Jia Wei, *actually I am a bit scared >_<* Anyway sorry, I didn’t make decision this time round; please forgive me for being fickle minded this time… Next time I will make decision for everything when we are out, you just enjoy ok? Haha =D. Went back to Yishun at 6pm.

After reach home, my family and I went out for dinner at AMK industrial park for fish head. And we went back home after that. It was a nice meal, though all I can think of is someone. My sister drove today; erm all I can say is that she has lots of rooms for improvement.

Dedicated to you:

Thanks for the birthday gift! Seriously it’s the first time I received a birthday gift from a girl other than my family members, the size is perfect, and you chose it great. ;) Thank you for telling me the answer, but I will still wait for you. Stay happy! =D

The Birthday Gift:

End of Week

2009-07-17T23:05:00.001+08:00

It's coming to the end of week once again. Time flies so fast. Throughout this week, many things happened. More on my feelings, but everything has comes to an end, and now I know what I want.

There's engineering math retest in this week too, I had finally revise properly for it and sure can get a good mark for it, though it's only capped at 50marks.

Tomorrow my Dad is driving up Malacca, by right we are going to eat durians at Uncle Goh's relative place. But he has something emergency on and in the end we will just go up Malacca only, with two of Dad's working colleague. Yea, I want to get my driving licence quickly and I want to drive up Genting! That's my dream after getting driving licence. Haha.

Birthday is coming in 9 days, and it will be my 18th birthday. On this day I will be able to register for my driving licence, get my business registered, officially buy 4d, drink liquor etcs. But too bad, I hate 4d and drink liquor, therefore I won't do that. =)

Alright got to go, need to sleep.

Stressed

2009-07-13T09:00:00.003+08:00

Recently I am stressed, therefore I will need to find a way out to release it. I was thinking to go to sea side to sort out my thinking, I think I had demanded too much. Therefore I had to sort it out. =D

Weekend is here

2009-07-11T22:03:00.001+08:00

My goodness, weekend is here again, days in poly are really passing really really fast. I don't seems to feel it pass faster than I was in secondary school.

Backache is really killing me. I want to recover faster! Therefore I can't cycle this week again. There's maths retest next Wednesday, so I got to mug hard for it, though it's only 50% given, but I will still give my very best.

Dedicated to you.
I want to protect you, make you laugh and smile as much as possible. I want to extend my happiness to you, and let you feel bliss. I will wait, regardless of duration.

BACKACHE!

2009-07-09T22:48:00.004+08:00

Having a very serious backache now, it happened after I sat in an improper sitting position this afternoon. It's killing me. Help~. Tomorrow I have machining to do, I scared I couldn't get off my bed! I do not want to delay machining; hopefully tomorrow I will get better.

Dedicated to you.
Couldn't type much today, my backache is killing me. You take care and don't stay up too late. Not good for your body and health.

Rickroll'D

2009-07-08T21:32:00.005+08:00

I could not find any words for today's title. Therefore I asked Danny to give me a random title, and he wrote this "Rickroll'D". What's the meaning? I don't know. =X

Today there were MMS and IA lessons, both of the lessons taught new things, and I am still digesting it. I should make an attempt to read it before I go lesson everything, therefore I can understand better on what the teacher is teaching.

After lessons today, there's Industrial Training Program (ITP) talk today too. Basically is just briefing on how ITP works.

Dedicated to you.
I did not know why I called you today, maybe I wanted to hear your voice, and my hand just dialled your number without even thinking twice. I showed one of my friends your photo today, he asked me where to find another girl who looks like you, immediately I told him, there's only one you in this world, and it's impossible to find another similar or same you. He stared at me; well he did tell me that you are pretty and cute. Yes, you are gorgeous. I wrote these words with my heart. I had read that you have dry lips; I had actually prepared a very good lip balm for you, which is recommended by my skin doctor. It had been in my bag for the past 2 days, but I do not have the courage to give it to you, I don't know why. I just wonder if you had got back all your results, yea, how's your results? I had one subject fail, but I will do my very best for all the upcoming exams and tests. Single-sided love is quite torturing. Can you please give me some small signals?

Yet Another Day

2009-07-07T18:59:00.001+08:00

I got back my maths test paper yesterday. I think that was the worst test I had ever did for maths in my poly life, guess I won't want to disclose my marks here. I got back my MMS and IA papers today, marks are 74 and 78, and that's seriously last minute revision. I was thinking if I had done constant revision, full or near full mark won't be a problem at all. Therefore I had got to buck up and put myself in top gear for revision for upcoming exams. I want good results!

Just downloaded top gear last night and I can't wait to watch it tonight.

Business is really picking up on itself, thanks to all the people who start to refer customers to me. My success is the small little effort that you all have put in. Thank you.

Dedicated to you.
It has become a part of me to think of you, it has become a habit that had implanted onto me. Everytime your sms reply will delight me and made my day. I felt like confessing, but I don't know if I am or you are ready. I don't know what to do. My birthday is near, I wanted to ask you out, but I am afraid that you don't want to come out. I had never felt like this before, this kind of affections. Maybe I had stepped into another stage of life, it seems to me I need someone to walk with me. I know everyone is imperfect, but you are the perfect one I am finding. I had even went to the extent to sought advices from a certified matchmaker, on how to cultivate a good relationship from the start. This shows how committed and serious am I going to put in for this relationship.

After MST

2009-07-04T23:38:00.004+08:00

My mid semester tests (MST) ended yesterday. This time round I had three tests, Industrial Automation (IA), MMS and Engineering Mathematics (EM). I will say EM will be a disaster this time round, because I did not do constant revision. Yup it's my fault if I got bad results, but I am going to do constant revision. I am scared, therefore I must make the change before I am forced to change. =D

She should have reach Genting by now, and she will be back by Sunday. I will wait for her then. Yes I miss her. What I want to know is how she feel about me.

Went back to Changi Airport to work today. Started at 6am, as per normal, company taxi would come at 4.45am to pick me up. Today's work is alright, and I found out there was quite a bit of change in manpower. As normal, there were gossips here and there, so I were just there standing and listening to them. At 6pm, I left my workplace and proceed back home. And my day sort of ended like this. Cheers.

Weird

2009-07-02T03:09:00.003+08:00

I found out that I can only concentrate in the night. This is a bad habit, I got to change it after my mid-semester test (MST). Alright, MST revision is making me mad. This time round I am really doing last minute work. I promised I won't do this again and I will do constant revision.

Short post, taking a 15 minutes rest.

Dedicated to you (If you read my blog),
Currently I just want you to be happy, I don't want to demand much. I will wait for you, until you say ok, until you are mentally prepared.

I LOVE STUDYING!

2009-06-29T23:41:00.002+08:00

I got to tell myself I love studying. Yes I love studying, I love to study.

I LOVE TO STUDY!

and love you.

My closest cousin told me this.

I truly want to thank him for sharing his experience with me though it's midnight. I had learn more things as a result. Thank you! =D

Effective Communication

2009-06-10T12:07:00.002+08:00

For effective communication between two parties, there must be a certain level of trust. When trust is betrayed, communication is lost. When there is no communication, there is no trust. Communication needs to be trusted. Trust needs to be communicated.

The Call of the Entrepreneur

2009-06-07T11:55:00.001+08:00

Wannabe VS Successful

2009-06-07T11:43:00.001+08:00

Quoted from junloayza.com.

"You cannot please everyone; you cannot have a successful startup while devoting your time to family, friends, and your significant other. You can only choose one. This is what I feel separates the successful entrepreneurs with the wannabe entrepreneurs:

The Wannabe Entrepreneur cannot give up his apartment, movies, eating out, or current lifestyle

vs

The Successful Entrepreneur cuts costs by moving back home, cooking instead of eating out, hulu instead of watching movies, and cuts costs in every way possible even if it means an uncomfortable lifestyle

The Wannabe Entrepreneur tries to maintain a 9-5, 40-hour work week

vs

The Successful Entrepreneur works from 8am - 2am every day, including the weekends

The Wannabe Entrepreneur tries to please everyone and gives into peer pressure

vs

The Successful Entrepreneur says no to friends, family, and the girlfriend, even on a Friday night"

After 7 weeks.................

2009-04-20T20:15:00.001+08:00

After 7 weeks of school holidays, the school term finally resumes. During the 7 weeks of holidays, I had been working at a world class place, Changi Airport! I worked for a company named Lagadère Services. Shops under that company are Discover Singapore, Bijoux Terner and Billabong (Opening soon). I was just a warehouse assistant there, my duty there are packing stocks, delivering stocks, data entry and many other small jobs. It was a tiring but fruitful job. I had knew more people, and managed to expand my contacts list. Although I might had left that company to pursue my studies, but I will be called back to work as retail assistant on Friday and Saturday. I agreed to help them, since I don’t really have real experience in retail line, so going back will not only help in adding on to my resume, it will gain me more experience in dealing customers.

Alright, enough said about my holidays job. Therefore, what are my prospects for the upcoming months? Hmmm, I had planned to widely or madly expand my name of t-shirts printing in SP. How am I going to do it? I had planned to gather people to work with me, ranging from Marketing, sales, accounts management etc. Of course, is to work with me, not for me. =)

How about studies? I will continue to study for my Polytechnic education, but at the same time I will take one more diploma in entrepreneur development. You might think I am crazy, but when you are doing something you like, naturally it become easy for you. And moreover it's similar to what I an doing now. Ok, got to go, bye! =)

Get to know yourself better

2009-03-17T20:48:00.000+08:00

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Most of the things here are true. :)

Symptoms of the urge to become an entrepreneur

2009-03-10T06:53:00.007+08:00

Read a new book, "How to run a business like a girl"

Just started reading it yesterday, therefore I found out that it has some things which is good.

Quoted from the book.

"Following are some classic symptoms of the urge to become an entrepreneur. If you recognize more than one or two, you've got a serious case.

You begin to notice that your talent and efforts have consistently made plenty of money for somebody else.
You start to suspect that the people you've been working for might not be any smarter than you are.
You doubt the ethical underpinnings of those who claim to be your leaders.
You being to crave more control over your life.
You are increasingly frustrated by someone else controlling your time, and would much prefer to be the one deciding what you will do and when.

You start to feel this craving for building real wealth rather than just collecting a salary.

You find yourself rehearsing ways to explain to your mother than in fact the real risk is not starting something on your own but continuing to work for a company over which you have no control.
You begin to believe that you could add to the world in a significant way through executing your idea for a new product, service, or way to do business.
Starting your own business sounds fun. (This is actually the best, and possibly the only real reason, to bit off more than you can easily chew.)"

I have more than 2 symptoms, those sentences in red. :)

New Month

2009-02-03T04:58:00.002+08:00

I can't sleep, current time is 4.58am. It's a AM, oh gosh.

Exams are coming in 2 weeks time, that is really fast. I will need to start revising for my exams, if not I will be struggling during exams most probably. After the exams, my first year in Singapore Polytechnic will end. Well I would say that I like my class? At least it is not as disastrous as I was in my secondary school life. Chinese New Year was fun too, interacting with cousins were great, and they told me that they will be organizing a "makan" outing. I think I got to motivate them to do that, which is my forte I guess? Alright, got to go off to do things. Good Bye.

The Mayonnaise Jar

2009-01-30T23:56:00.001+08:00

Read an email sent from a friend and found it meaningful.

The Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem
Almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar
And 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class And had some items in
front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large
And empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students
If the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open
Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked
The students again
If the jar was full..
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand And poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded
With an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced
Two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents
Into the jar, effectively
Filling the Empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor,
As the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that
This jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things ---faith, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions -- Things that if everything else was
lost And only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter Like your job, house, and
car.

The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first,"
He continued,
"there is no room for
The pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time
And energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for
The things that are
Important to you.

So....

Pay attention to the things
That are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.Don't forget your family

There will always be time
To clean the house
And fix the disposal.

"Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
"I'm glad you asked".

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for A couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

New Multi-Level Marketing Scam - TAKE NOTE!

2009-01-17T19:37:00.001+08:00

I was approached by one of my friends to meet up with him about this "so-called" business. Which is Grand Elitia, also known as entertainment industry. To me, it's just another Multi-Level Marketing SCAM.

As follow,

IT IS A NEW SCAM, just like Sunshine Empire.

Black listed investment SCAM company in Asia:

1) Sunshine Empire
2) Emmax (Hong Kong) – James Phang & Colin Hoo
3) Niu Lifestyle (NLS)
4) Eazy Max
5) Dynasty Club
6) Empire Entertainment Dynasty (EED)
7) Empire Property Venture (EPV)
8) Em-Call
9) SEA Net International (Dubai)
Mr.Dewey Bai (EGA Vice President)
Mr. Ben Tan (CEO, Middle East)
10) Empire Group Alliance (EGA)
11) Emall-ME (Dubai)

Please read
http://www.firstmillionchallenge.com/sunshine-empire-too-good-to-be-true/comment-page-18/#comment-20047

And what my friend gave me was Niu Lifestyle namecard, which means that it is linked to Grand Elitia, where by Niu Lifestyle is linked to Sunshine Empire and both Sunshine Empire and Niu Lifestyle are black listed.

This is just to post to inform all people here to take note, if you are not happy with my post, just jolly well stay away from my blog.

First Post of Year 2009!

2009-01-02T13:15:00.000+08:00

First post of year 2009! I must do well in whatever I do! No matter what obstacles show up, I must face it bravely and rectify it asap.

There's engineering mathematics test today, and I had not study much for it, choices have consequences, I will only blame myself for not doing well for this test, because not only had I slack for the whole holiday doing nothing but watching dramas, I simply just do nothing. Hopefully I could revise a little in school.

I think there's one thing in me I should change, which is my attitude. I had passion to start something, but for quite a lot of things I will give up some ways. I do not know what I had been doing the past few months in poly. I felt as if I were doing nothing. Yes I need a change, I need to revise what I am. I must fulfil everyday productively.

Upcoming events, thermofluids and electrical technology tests.

End of 2008 post

2008-12-31T22:15:00.003+08:00

It's sad that 2008 is ending in hours, but 2009 is coming! I am looking forward for 2009, regardless of whatever difficulties I will face in 2009, I will face it bravely.

I will study hard for my studies.
I will work hard for my business.
If there's fate, I don't mind having a girl friend. (I think my parents will kill me. >_<)

In 2008,

1. I started studying Mechatronics in Singapore Polytechnic.
2. I started my T-shirt Printing business.
3. I started to have clear goals on what I want to achieve.

Alright then, I, Jie Meng, wishes everyone in 2009 to have a great year ahead.

During holidays got bored, this week I know I am going to be really unproductive. Therefore I kept watching anime and taiwan drama.

Got this phrase from Wish to See You Again.

"To Like, I don't know when it began.
After it began, it gradually became a form of longing."

Back to blogging

2008-11-28T16:15:00.002+08:00

I was kinda wondering what the hell am I doing these few weeks, since my new semester had started, I felt that i was slacking through the past 6 weeks. I feel very unproductive and ashamed of myself. This week is the 7th week, and it's ending! Poly life isn't as easy as what people say, come in and play and get out in 3 years to work or pursue your studies. Lecturers don't really care about you listening to his/her lessons, they just speak through the whole lessons. It's up to you if you want to listen or not.

That life is ending real soon, I want and must end it by tomorrow, after tomorrow, I am going to slog hard for everything. I know it's going to be difficult for upcoming days, but I want to conquer it, be it my business, studies or relationship. I don't have a girl friend now, but if fate arrives, I don't mind having one, I know for sure my parents will roar at me if they know I am involved in a BGR, but I want to prove to them I can manage those stuffs well. Leaking out a little stuffs? Kinda crushed on a girl last week, she's my secondary school friend's friend. I won't force things to happen, but I will try. My main priorities are to excel in business and studies. If I was to rank, I really do prefer to do business instead of studying. BUT BUT BUT I might be thinking of that now, and I know that I will regret in the future if I don't study now. In Singapore, students study for the sake of the certificate to work, but I must prove that I am different, I study for the sake of the knowledge and experience. I don't really do well in studying seriously, but I am willing to work hard for it. Even if I were to get lousy results, but as long as I can proceed on without retaining, I am very happy.

I don't know what will be my parents idea if I were to have BGR, have it secretly is not what I want, I want them to know that I can cope well with everything, because I am not the old Jie Meng, I must show them I am matured to cope with things I faced. Few weeks before I had arguement with my parents on my business, but since it's solved and after 2 days of not talking to each other, my father did the first step to communicate back and we are back to the good father and son relationship, which I want. I know myself, I am stubborn, YES sometimes I am very stubborn, I will try my best to correct that.

Today just had engineering materials test, went on well, but today's test is 50% weightage. Tests coming up, got to really mug hard. Time to go, ciao.

School Life Resumes!

2008-10-20T21:37:00.003+08:00

It has been 12 days since I did blogging, yes it's lazy to blog. This is the second week of my semester 2, the first week went through smoothly, but I know that all the upcoming weeks will be tough. Luckily I am still single, if not I will not know how to manage it well. But I do need a assistant, to keep to on track of what I am doing, sometimes I might get too serious on things, resulting in neglects of other stuffs.

Talking about studies, I have 8 modules to take this semester, therefore I must organize my time well and revise for all the subjects. I took entrepreneurship as my General Elective Module(GEMs), it's kinda fun, but nearly all the classmates of the module are here because they want to be rich. Have they not think before how rich is rich? I had been asked before by my CPF colleague, Emah, "How do you define Rich?" That really makes me think through, what is rich? Now I have define my "Rich".
1. Debt free.
2. Thick family bonds.
3. Has a good wife.
4. Have friends whom will help me fully instead of casting you aside when I meet any crisis.

This is the rich I want to have.

This semester is going to be tough for me, and I am going to push it through. I am going to handle 8 subjects and business projects. I wonder how I will handle the stress. I begun to feel it when I was having Computer Programming just now. I must handle the stress given by my mind and studies.

Had just restarted my tshirt printing business, after looking at the market seriously. There are a lot of competitors in the market, but I still want to come out to try. I want to dominate the whole SP market, with my service especially.

Pit-lane errors cost Massa and Ferrari dear

2008-09-29T06:33:00.003+08:00

After Felipe Massa’s scintillating qualifying performance, Ferrari were confident of victory heading into Sunday’s inaugural Singapore Grand Prix. Instead, however, they leave the Marina Bay circuit rueing vital pit-stop errors that ruined the Brazilian’s race and cost the Italian team the lead in the constructors’ championship.

Everything started smoothly for Massa, the pole-sitter quickly building a lead over title rival Lewis Hamilton. But at his first pit stop disaster struck. He was given the green light too early and left with the fuel hose still attached to his car.

Massa was forced to wait at the end of the pit lane for his mechanics to run down and wrestle the hose off, but he then received a drive-through penalty for being unsafely released from the stop. The blunder undoubtedly cost him the race and after a late puncture he eventually finished 13th - 35 seconds adrift of victor Fernando Alonso.

“It's hard to deal with losing in this fashion a race that was within our grasp, with a car that was just the way I wanted it,” said Massa. “We had a good strategy and all the signs were there that we could get a one-two finish. But things can change in a moment and that's what happened today. At the pit stop, one of the guys made a mistake. But we are only human. Each one of us always tries to do our best and these things can happen.”

Despite Massa’s strife, Ferrari were still poised to pick up four points courtesy of Kimi Raikkonen, who was running in P5 after his final pit stop. That was until the champion went off into the wall at Turn 10 with less than four laps to go.

"I was trying to attack Glock in case he might make a mistake, but I went slightly wide at the chicane, jumping over the kerb and when the car landed, I lost control and ended up in the barriers,” explained Raikkonen. “My situation in the championship was already rather compromised, so this doesn't really make that much difference but I am unhappy because the team has lost precious points in the constructors' classification.”

Ferrari’s failure to score in Singapore means that rivals McLaren now lead the constructors’ standings, with 135 points to the reigning champions’ 134.

Self-Confidence Formula

Quoted from the book too.

Self-Confidence Formula

First:
I know what I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

Second:
I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creawting in my mind a clear mental picture.

Third:
I know through the principle of autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

Fourth:
I have clearly written down a description of my definate chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

Fifth:
I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealous, selfishness, and cynicisn, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that i will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that i will become a self-reliant, and successful person.

It's kinda like a pledge, but I wonders it will work, haha, I think i got to try out. =D

Six Ways to Turn Desires into Gold.

2008-09-26T09:48:00.000+08:00

Recently read a book "Think and Grow Rich"

Quoted from the book.

Six Ways to Turn Desires into Gold.

First:
Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount.

Second:
Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

Third:
Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth:
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth:
Write out a clear, concise statement oif the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquistion, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth:
Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read-see and and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

I WONT FORGIVE!
