Hey girls, i need your contributions...
Today i had lunch with my colleagues. Female colleagues talked about maybe will sacrifice career for family. Then i said that i can be a house-husband. Then suddenly all the guns are pointed to me! They started to scold me...
The followings are the few that i can remember...
If my bf tell me like this, i will slap him till death!!!!! (-_-b)
I find bf to take care of me mah, now wan me to take care of him back ar???!!!! (-_-!!!)
I think i may exaggerated a bit (just a bit nia!), but the question is guys not reli allowed to be a house-husband in an oriental society?
Some more i feel wronged as i was saying i will give queenie a chance to choose to be a career woman or a house-wife nia...
(T-T)
Pity lor...

I am too immature...
This is a post corresponding to the previous post named "are we too young to handle the life that i am having?" as i think i found a conclusion on my own situation to the question.
Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Lately, there is just too many problem, too short of time for me. Of course, my life is even more miserable with all the restrictions that i have at the current stage of my life. Haiz...
Work...
Study...
Family...
Dance...
I have to juggle everything. Maybe i am not so prepared for all this, but i will never be really prepared if i don't do it. Haha...
What don't kills us, makes us stronger...
I wanted to be man that can handle everything thrown to him. That is why i may be sad. I may be puzzled. I may be angry. I may be mad. But i will never back-off...
If not, i will never be the man that i wanna be...
Luckily, those friends that have to face similar, if not identical problems as i am are doing pretty well. It makes me more confident that i will get through these and learn from these...
God helps those help themselves!
May god bless me with the strength that will help me to go through this toil and troubles, on my journey to become a complete man, who will shine care and comfort to those around him, contributing to the community...

What is the right life?
Today, i talked a long-time best friend (a guy), about how our life is different from the majority of age.
The major difference we can tell is that majority of my friends going to far far places for vacation + go out for activities (lately paint ball very popular) + clubbing + karaoke + etc...
While they were doing that, my fren n i are typically reading novel / sleeping...
swt...
From there, we extended our discussion on how this may impact our life.
My fren is a single bachelor. We are saying this will affect his market big time. As nowadays the pace of the society is getting faster n faster. We are in a microwave era, where everything has to be faster n faster. This is easy to understand from here why the majority is trying to experience whatever they can in the shortest of time possible. Therefore, we this kind of couch potato is very unfavourable in the market. There might not even have a reliable market! Hahaha...
Well, for me, we conclude that i am a bad bf + Queenie is VERY unfortunate. Haiz...
I am not bringing her good time as i should. I know she like to get to a lot of places + like surprises. I didn't really accomplish that. Haiz...
This is something tat i will look into though...
The biggest problem we have in the discussion is that we don't really know should me flow the crowd or stand the point that we are now. We really enjoyed what we do (being couch potato) when we do it. We don't really enjoy the travelling that much. However, we really worry that our enjoyment is at ( shd i use "in" instead of "at" here?) the expense of other people.
So...
We are puzzled + lost + wondering...
The best thing tat could happen now is tat someone give me a list of measurement of life achievement as in "The Sims". Haha...

《月下独酌》 - 李白
花间一壶酒， 独酌无相亲。
举杯邀明月， 对影成三人。
月既不解饮， 影徒随我身。
暂伴月将影， 行乐须及春。
我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零乱。
醒时同交欢， 醉后各分散。
永结无情游， 相期邈云汉。

Hin's last day
Today is this fellow's last day in the firm. (Although he is in substance taking a long unpaid leave). Those of you not in the firm have NO IDEA how popular this guy is. They wanna go to JAPANESE RESTAURANT to celebrate his "leaving". C? People compare people, cake she people lo. Haiz...
The most unacceptable thing is that there are 10 - 20 people having lunch with him and he keep saying my statement about his popularity is purely craziness!!!! Blind people also can tell that this is not craziness, it is envious. Haha...
All the best for Leng Hin for his exam n hope to able to work with him soon.

Walau eh....
Yesterday i skipped my breakfast as i was about to be late to work. I don't really know why but the air-cond was much cooler that usual. At first, i was only feeling the coldness. Not long later, i realized i wasn't feeling well. Then, i started to feel my fever...
It had been worsen since after the lunch. I couldn't really think. I was practically an oven.
When i get home, i immediately take my bath and started my long sleep...
I woke up at around 8.30 to take my lunch + a packet of chinese medicine. The medicine is in powder form. I was told to add in some water and salt. Haven't really heard such strange remedy though...
The second and last time i woke up was around 10.30 when i took another portion of my chinese medicine. Then i slept till 6.30 a.m....
Thank god that i was better in the morning and good enough to go to work. Maybe because i saw Leng Hin and Ching Wen who has been on field, i was fully recovered before lunch. Haha...
I believe this a message from god to ask me take better care of myself.
My laziness is too obvious already...
Haha...

Perseverance
Will power is like a muscle. The more you practice it the stronger it gets. I think almost everyone understand that. However, why does people like me like to keep postponing things that should be done?
I guess it is because I don't really see the consequences of my actions every time i make a decision. I forget my "missions" and "visions" almost immediate after declaring them.
Life is just like a company. You have your missions, visions and objective. Then you will find your ways to reach the objective, i.e. strategy. The last vital component is control. Without controls, you are very unlikely to reach the places that u wanna reach.
"In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing."

金缕衣
劝君莫惜金缕衣，
劝君惜取少年时。
有花堪折直须折，
莫待无花空折枝。
I would advice you not to appreciate beautiful clothing,
I would advice you to appreciate your youth.
You should pluck the flower when it is there,
don't wait till the time when you can only pluck the branch as there is no more flowers for you.

Benchmarking
Today i feel like talking about a senior in my firm. He was just promoted to manager. I don't really know how old is he, but i guess he is just 27 years old.
I was told that he is an Australian university grad, thus i suppose he join EY at the age of 22. I was also told that he got promoted every review, thus i guess he is with the firm for 5 years. Yes, you heard me right, i heard that he get promoted every review, non-stop! Therefore i think he is 22 + 5, 27.
The thing i wanna discuss here is his non-stop promotion. He is a very bright guy. I am trying to learn a thing or two from him, so that i can be a better person.
I don't really know the industry very well yet but i think non-stop promotion to the position of manager is really something astonishing. These are few of the good quality that i can tell.
1. He is a very bright guy. He really understand his things and seems to consistently bring up quality works to the table. Me on the other hand, don't seems to really carry out my job well. I guess this dates back to my slacking study life. Haiz...
2. His presentations are always informative and enlightening. I can understand what he is trying to transfer quickly and stay interested. I will just pretty much read the script. Chalk n talk. Moreover, i think most of the people won't be able to get what i am trying to convey. This happens all the time, even when we are talking one to one. The worst is, it happens no matter i use Chinese or English. Haiz...
3. He is also very sociable. He can always get into a conversion with someone and keep the other party interested or entertained. He will try to know more people in every function. He will definitely be too shy, like me to start a conversation with a stranger. I also find it hard to keep the other party i have conversation with entertained all the time. I run out of topics quite quickly. Haiz...
4. He also contribute to the firm a lot in may ways. He joined and support the sports club, literally support every sport that we have. He will turn up at the practices of all kind of sports and cheer for our team in almost every competition.
I think he had prepared himself well for everything in advance. I really admire him and hopefully, after trying real hard to change myself, i learn up all this good qualities. Haha...
My friends, let's work hard to improve ourselves together and hopefully we can sit down and tell our grandchildren about this process one day.

Bitchiness is the way to go???
I went to service my mom's car this afternoon. Since i was so bored there, i tried to find a magazine or something to read. I don't really understand why, but there are only female magazines there. I don't even see car magazines there.
Hmm....
Maybe they have more female customers i guess. Haha...
Anyway, i took female magazine and started to flip through. A topic just caught my eyes instantly. The topic is "Bitchiness".
The magazine seems trying to promoted bitchiness among girls. They rationalize it with the current environment where girls now valued by their career and their appearance. (I hope i get it right. I don't really understand girl stuffs.)
I don't really know if it is the right thing to do, but it does really concerns me. I am shock by the examples and the "bitchiness" they gave in the magazine. For me it's quite unimaginable. Tricks to win over a boy friend (and someone's boy friend), trying to make the colleagues to look bad, and those things that i thought only exists in movies...
I am know am quite kolot and apart from those city girls, but i didn't realize the gap is actually this huge. I was thinking maybe i wanna work in big cities next time. Now, i really wonder if i can survive that. City girls do follow the magazines and really believe in them. I am really worried if i will have to deal with this kind of people shall i be working in big cities.
I think my life is very different from typical city life. I don't really go out that often, nor clubbing, nor flirting, nor one night stand, (Wei, why do u look at me like this? I really don't , ok?), and followed by a long list.
I guess i enjoy a peaceful life while they enjoy colourful & exiciting & fast pace life.
It does makes me feel kinda kolot though...
Haha...

"Are we too young to manage the life that we are having?"
In a meet-up with a bunch of frens, a guy asked a question.
" Are we too young to manage the life we are having?".
I think what he means is are we mature enough to handle the current life we are living. Although the question wasn't further discussed as it was not the centre of discussion, it had keep me thinking...
I don't reli have the answer for that question. What i know is i didn't manage my life well.
I was always rushing here and there...
Everyone around me is always not happy...
I didn't accomplish what i should have...
I didn't know what i thought was at my finger tips...
I may not be mature enough, but one thing is for sure, i.e. I am trying to be a better man. I will pay attention to what i did wrong and rectify it. Hopefully, i can kill my bad habits one by one. Although it may take me a long long time, at least i keep pregressing...

I WANNA PASS ALL THE PAPER I TAKE IN DECEMBER 2008HE
I am sick of failing my exams. Am i just this good (or bad)? I wanna better and refuse to be just worth this much!
I was a full time student. A full time student with no other obligation. A student who didn't have any other career to pursue. Yet, i come to today as someone who failed 4 times, 2 times on the same paper.
I know i was a better student back in secondary school. Was my academic achievement merely a result of my relentless helps from my teachers?
It seems that it is. It is time rectify that. My teachers helped me to get a better starting point. I had wasted some of their effort, but i promise myself that i won't do that again.
This is my statement: I WANNA PASS THE PAPER I TAKE IN DECEMBER 2008!!!
