The One?

There are plenty of priorities for a guy in the late 20s, which is, Ahem..my age ( I am proud to admit I am 28 this year).

Let me see..

Career? Investments? Family? Properties? There are so many to list but the one I am going to discuss about is Marriage.

Yes, Andy is not going to get married so soon, so don’t let your mind escalate to an irrational stage. I am just dead curious about what kind of answer they would have if I were to post that question. A question that has been running around in my mind for some time.

Why do you think he/she is the one?

In my context, Marriage is not a “just because we are together for so long, then we have to get married” thing. I am talking about LIFETIME Commitments and Responsibility plus plenty of PURE love towards the other half. When you are looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend in your younger days, I believe what you are actually looking for is LOVE and FUN. Someone to hang out with when you are bore, someone to hold your hands and whisper sweet rubbish. As you grow older to a wiser stage( which bluntly translate to older stage), Ask yourself this question. Why do you think he/she is the one? The one that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Give it a thought.

Back to the topic, and so I went around asking those people who are married. There’s million and one answers to that question due to the boring fact that no one is the same.

I ask myself what kind of person I want to stick with, for the REST OF MY LIFE.

I found the answer, it is a very simple answer again.

And no, I am not going to reveal here.

BUT,

I can share with you what majority says.

“You can just feel it.”

Simple isn’t it?

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

I just feel so comforting, to have my very good friends with me when I am sad. Mr Leong and Mr Loh in fact. Both read  a lot, from there their analytical skills are always improving. Whatever problems I face, the both of them always enlighten me in a very rational manner. These few days, I did a lot of self discovery to find out what I really want at this current stage. Although there’s no final conclusion yet, but I seems to know what exactly is the best for me. Thank you my friends.

I guess at my age, I have filter out who can be, and can’t be as a friend. Someone whom I can really call Friend. The fact that at the age of 28, I have successfully educate myself in the world of friendship. Be nice to me, understanding, appreciative, joke with me, go through bad times with me. But I am sorry, you won’t be label as a friend in my dictionary so fast. You will just be an affiliate of mine. My apologies again, because the fact that throughout my growing up years, I make friends, or so called “Friends” easily. Friends who do unpleasant things to me to benefit themselves. That’s why it’s never easy for me to label one as a friend.

Mr Leong was telling me about Mr Hyde. How interesting, go Google it if you want to know more, the internet is there for a reason. Yes, Part of My Mr Hyde just came out and wrote this entry. Dun blame him on being so defensive. Instead, try to understand him.

What I have in mind now, is to strengthen my Dr Jekyll. I want to master the art of understanding and reading people. It can be through a person’s mind, or his actions. Talk is cheap, I don’t believe in words any more.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. What an Interesting theory.

A decent haircut

I still remember I dread going to the barber when I was young. I hate the smell and sound of that shaver, the inconsistancy of the final look. It is always a different look. Once I step out of the barber shop, a gloomy day awaits.

Nowadays, I love going for a haircut, because there is a whole new different meaning to it. It is never the smell of the salon, the end products, or even the hair wash. It is the person cutting it. Someone that I have let her cut my hair for … 9 years, and counting. It is a therapy to me. Whenever I am down and out, she is definitely one of the person that care and advice me. In my heart, I know that sometimes she is lying about the advice she said. But honestly I won’t be bothered by it. White lies do help motivate a person when he’s at a crossroad. She meant well. At the very least, she took the effort to lie, just to make me feel better. At least she care.

Throughout these years, she share with me her opinions on all aspects, which I am more than willing to hear. All aspects..Jokes, relationships, family,  career, investments, business, health.. you name it, she got it. I don’t have to say what issues I am facing, she can guess it correctly all the time.  It’s really nice to have someone that understand you all the time.

It really is a nice feeling.

looking forward to my next visit.

My very own recipe

When cooking a dish for the very first time, the outcome will never be perfect. You need a few other ingredients to perfect it.

A bottle of mistake, a dash of try and error, and 5kg of Love.

I am still in the mids of perfecting this recipe of mine.

Being humble

I just want to say Thank you, to someone really close in my family’s heart.  She brought up her children really well and I learn so much from her and her 2 lovely daughters.

I learn the true meaning of being humble, and I will make sure this will pass on to my future generation.

Man’s best friend

Man’s best friend. When you are down and out, he will never leave you. When you are rich and fed him with huge chunk of steaks, he show appreciations by wagging his tail. Never have I heard of stories that dog leave his owner just because he is too poor, but I heard of many owners that abandon their dogs for the slightest reason. They are man’s best friend, never to leave you whether you are rich or poor, good or evil. I feel that they deserve something better.

Humans to humans, things are different. People might leave you if you can’t succeed or make it to their expectation.

The sad truth that I have to accept.

I would like to have a Labrador Retriever.

The medicine to keep me awake

You know what keeps me awake?

It’s the Silence at night. My processor just keep on running non-stop.

A Fresh Start

6 more hours, and I am leaving for my very last flight, that marks the end of the journey in this aviation industry.

26 Oct 2006,  I will not forget this date. Never have I felt so excited and happy with a new job, one that allows me to travel intensively and meet new people.  Down the road, the passion of being a flight attendant fade off slowly. Now that I have seen  what I should have seen, I know that it’s time to move on and continue chasing my dreams. I won’t have a fix income from now on, but what I clearly know is that Andy will never regret this decision.

All the very best to the people around, who is on the way to pursue their dreams.

I am a happy boy

5 minutes ago, my dearest father said this to me.
“Whatever work you do, most important is to be happy.”

I am soooooo glad that I have his support in my decision.
Thank you dad!

A musical in a foodcourt

This is funny!

Can we get a napkin please !

HAHA

Your sense of humour can be another man’s poison.
My good friend tried to poison me with his words today. Lucky for me, I always carry my antidote with me, which is my ignorance plus a dash of patience.

Readers out there, might not be able to understand what rubbish I am blarbbeerring about.. For me, I just want to write it down to remember his silly poison..

To end the day,

Let me say,
HAHA

Indeed, what a joke…

Beautiful song in a nice local production.

How I want it to be

I guess in general, people enjoy doing things hoping to portray an image of what others seems appropriate in their mind. A simple funeral event proves it all. IF my father were to pass away, I MIGHT not cry, but it doesn’t mean that I am not sad. I am quite against the idea of doing meaningless things just to show people what they want to see. Spare me the torture. Please.

To me, Death is a reality that’s a part of life, but unfortunately most of the people lives in denial. When the time comes, you have to move on. Be it your own self lying in the coffin, or your love ones. Drop a tear or 2, and let’s move on. Who’s the next one that’s going to lie in there?
A 2 seconds calculation by me, on average, we are given around 40 years to prepare for our death. We know we are going to die one day, and if you may want, start preparing now.

I always told my sister that when the day comes for me to go, just let me go. She may drop a few tears, but I really won’t want her to scream and cry loudly, like in the movies or so.
Speaking of this, why not I arrange my funeral?

Make my Chinese customary funeral 3 days, 5 days is too much, and very tiring for my family. My guest would be able to wear anything, any colour they want. The usual see through thin white t-shirt is very much excuse. If the Sai Kong says must wear socks only, ignore him. Nike shoes are welcome. Don’t give yourself headache as to what type of food to buy for offerings. I am really very easy with food. Macdonald’s is fine, and please do upsize it.
If you want to play mahjong, play near my coffin because I want to see. The golden rule, shooter punch hor.
If you are keen for 4D, forget about looking elsewhere. IF I could, I say IF… just buy my last 4 digits of my i/c number. Let me tell you, there’s way too many numbers to be found in a funeral. The license plate of the usual Mercedes, the apartments, the stacks of receipts etc.. it’s too troublesome. And if you strike, please kindly contribute 10% of your earnings to my family.
Start burning some stuffs to me. I already request for a paper watch box from my sister. Let me tell you sis, it’s gonna be a real challenge to find a ah pek to make this. He will definitely goes, Huh?
The rest of the items are pretty standard. Mahjong set, Computer and laptops(don’t forget the broadband modem!), maybe a set of golf clubs also. I foresee that in the next 5 years I will not die yet, and will pick up that hobby. If you would like, you can also burn me a paper billiard table.
Speaking about burning all these stuffs makes me truly excited. Heh..
My dearest sister ask me today, what will happen to your beloved watches when you die? Good question. I would like to mention it here. If I have children, please give them 1 each. Give 2 to Zyon and Rachel. One to keep for their next generation. If I found out they sold them away, don’t worry. I am good with giving people nightmares. NEVER EVER SELL MY WATCH WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. The rest of the watch, please give to my closest friend at that time. Derrick will have the honor to pick first. Don’t be so blur as to burn it for me. They may be converted into papers by the time I receive them. I am just thinking of the reversal process.

What I really hope for my family when I am gone, is for them to be happy. Continue to live your life as per normal, eat healthily and enjoy your life to the fullest. Take good care of yourself and love one another. Like I mention, you may drop a tear or 2(that’s the max), but please move on okay?

Last but not least,
If you think that when I am gone, and you believe that I am watching you.. Nonsensical thoughts you have.
I am, and will be enjoying my life in another world.

My simple post

You know what?

I love my Family and Friends so much…

Racial Harmony

Malaysia petroleum company, Petronas Group, always make interesting commercial during major public holidays. These following commercials make good use of the innocence in a child to convey the messages to the world. Effective, cute, and it sure leaves a deep impression in me.

 

That grin on the boy’s face,
Priceless.

Let’s respect all races and religion, and live in harmony.
It’s Singapore National Day tomorrow.
Happy Birthday!
