A representation in words of the nature and characteristics of a thing
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. 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.
You know what keeps me awake?
It’s the Silence at night. My processor just keep on running non-stop.
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.
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!
This is funny!
Can we get a napkin please !
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.
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.
You know what?
I love my Family and Friends so much…
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!
“Look! Now showing power ranger lehhhh“, My nephew scream…
Hmmm…
Flashback to the 80s when I was growing up, I was a cartoon addict.. without fail I will watch cartoons on channel 5, every weekday at 5.30pm…
Memories and more…
Bravestar, Centurians, Captain planet, He-man Mask, Transformers… All these are classic!
Did a search on youtube, and I found them all! I must say, the theme song for MASK is the most memorable… The part where the systems allocated the appropriate candidate for the mission is a real classic… Another one of my favourite cartoon back then was “Centurions”. 3 Good guy dress in Green, Blue and Yellow with the ability to strap on different equipments to fight the baddies.. I used to own 1 of that yellow guy… who specialise in urban warfare.. and I got the bravestar horse also.. Strange, how come I get the pet instead of the lead role for the toy leh?
Here are some of the clips for the boys growing up in the 80s..
Enjoy..
Centurions
Bravestar
He-Man
Mask
I need that beeping watch…
Wait a min…
I know why I become a Watch Idiot Savant now…
Classic, isn’t it?
Haha…
A mere 3 hours of sleep, and yet I am not feeling tired. I woke up at 0100hrs knowing that I need to pen down my current thoughts, eagerly.
It is just the fourth chapter into Richard Branson’s “Screw it, Just do it”, I realise that I used to be somehow or rather, one way or another behaving like him.
His whole heartly screw it, just do it attitude. For the past 3 years, I have been progressively losing touch with that “Just do it” attitude.
And now, I have lost them all.
I was a motivated V6 engine young man then, with such great curiosity, that will always end up with problems. To me, problem solving was part of the little test that I love. It’s a mind stimulating game that keeps me thinking. I love to try different things, loves to read and gather information, out partying and getting to know more new people.
Now, I approach things now in a skeptical manner, questioning myself with endless WHY. At the end of the day, what comes to my mind, would probably be the same at the beginning of the day. The same useless “It will never work attitude”. He have successfully changed to become a very ’safe’ person.
What started it all, is my earning power. There’s a major pay jump from my previous job to my current. Fast forward a year later, I bought plenty of stuffs for my family and myself. I start to get very comfortable, and LAZY. On my day off from work,(which I have a hell lot of offs) I will wake up in the middle of the day aimlessly. Walking around my house like a dying old man looking for food and water, I felt like a potential amnesia victim. Wondering around uselessly around the house with no ideas in mind. At the end of the day, I know that I would still have a decent paycheck. So, why worry?
Multiply it by 3 years, or 1095 days. It clearly have become a habit.
The good old saying, I have reached my comfort zone, and have stop thinking.
If you manage to kick a habit for a while and then you pick it up again, the effect will be greater than before. You will fall deeper into it, and harder to get out.
Andy, lets get things moving.
I wanted to get his book 2 years ago, and until recently then I pick it up. What a shame. Nevertheless, better be late than never. Recent years, my books reading habit slow and almost comes to a complete halt. As fate would suggest, I did a simple survey and got rewarded with a $20 borders gift card. No prize for guessing which titles I’ve bought. Now, I am very much into reading again. And at a speed that I have never thought I possibly can.
I won’t say that I am as motivated as before in my younger days, but now I have already kick start this old rotten V6 engine of mine. It’s rather cranky at times, but the right mechanic would be able to fix it effortlessly. This, I promise.
First up, would be ADVENTURES, something that would spice up my life and keeps me moving….
Perhaps I have been moving too fast previously. Lots of things are actually out there for me to understand and appreciate.
I missed it, simply because I have walked too fast previously.
I understand why I needs to slow down and look behind now.
Each time I turned back, I am observing from a third person point of view.
Naturally, things turn out clearer.
Something different in this company that will NEVER happen to my Kiasi company.
