Am writing this as I am listening to The Beatles. Just bought their No 1 hits from HMV where it is selling at a low price of $14.95. It had a red cover with the 1 as the title. Gotta thanks Aik Guang for accompanying me for walking all the walk to CityLink HMV to get the cd. We were just wrapping up work at Funan Centre when I just had the urge to go get this cd. I heard it last night at HMV as I was waiting for my colleagues. In the end I spent 40 mins standing there listening to this CD. For those who only knew a few songs from The Beatles, this is a great cd for u. All the songs are awesome and is really what Rock and Roll is all about. I was pondering whether to get it or not as I just bought a F.I.R cd last week. I already got tons of cds in my home and lots of it are garbage. Glad that my these two buys are great.
Anyway, I am just glad that most of my friends are quite accomadating to me. One of my friends told me that the world doesn't just revolve around me. Great point brought up by him as I think that sometimes I do take my friends for granted. I think I am lucky in a sense that though I may not have a great family, I do have lots of great friends. Friends that I can count on. Friends that will be there for me whenever I need them. This is what I call a gift that is priceless. Nothing can buy you true friends. $$ may be able to do that but for how long?? So to all my friends out there, please forgive me if I did got on your nerves sometimes. I never meant it. Also received a message from Adelyn. She is a friend that I got to know from friendster. Thanks for the encouragement. Really glad for that as I now knows that somebody out there is reading my shit here. ;P
Anyway, got home real early today. I think it is the first tme in near to a month that I am able to watch the 10 o clock chinese news. But my efforts are not matching my pay check. This is life. Some people are born with a sliver spoon. I think mine is a plastic one if I do have a spoon in the first place. Anyway, I am not whining as I believe that only you yourself will make out your own future.
Got a haircut today from a student at Kimage for only $5. Though it looks a bit ugly now, it is still value for money. $5 for a wash and cut session. Where to find? Anyway, it will looks better as it gets longer. I am sure of that. People who are interested in it, tomorrow is the last day at Funan IT Mall Kimage. I am not an employee of them so no worries on whether I am advertising for them. Anyway, there is a talk on my job tomorrow at Singapore Post Centre. It starts at 6.30p.m and feel free to go down there to take a look. My bro, Jones will be giving a talk tomorrow. Anyway, for people who don't know what I am working as, I am a financial adviser with Prudential. Anyway, just go down there with an open mind if u are sick of your current job or looking for a new one. I am also doing this as my boss just called me up and asked me to call my friends up for this talk. I am tired so I think this is the best method. :)

Well, it is 3.20 a.m now as I am keying in this blog. Work had been hectic on Mon and Tues. Worked till 12 on Tues. But had a sense of satisfaction as the result of my hard labour is good. Also met up with the nice lady to talk about her retirement plans. She really is a nice lady and even if she don't get any policy from me at the end of the day, I am still glad that I know her. Talking abt policy, I just had a comment from a close fren of mine which made me sad. She commented that I was treating her more like a client than a friend. Though I beg to differ, it didn't change what she was thinking. I admit maybe in my eagerness to advice her I might sounds agressive. But it never for once fell into my thoughts that I was just advising someone I just knew rather than someone who is so close to me. I only want the best for my friends and this goes to my clients too. I might also have to bear some of the blame. I had been spending less and less time with my friends and even my beloved Mum as I devote all my time to work. I am sad that I am doing this but also knows that this is the best time to build up my career. So to all my frens who are reading this, all you are my friends first rather than a client. I also treat my clients as my friends as I always believe that having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.
Anyway, this week I would be working at Funan Centre for my roadshow again. Really hoping for a good response as I am still hoping that I can hit fast track. It would be a shame to miss it as I am so close to it. No more talk on work. One of my friends had just started blogging. Her blog address is joeychan.blogspot.com. Do support her. She is a nice, friendly and cute lady. Seems like she is having a block on her mind now. I really do wish that it will go off soon. Anyway, just a thought to share with all my friends. Life is just like the ocean. There will never be a period where it is always high tide or low tide. What we can do is to ride on the tide when it is high and rest well when the tide is low. Peace and nitezz.

Well, this week hasn't been kind to me. The only thing positive that came out of it was a meeting with a very nice lady who was willing to meet me. Anyway, had a great chat with her and really hope to meet her up next week to show what I can do to help her achieve her retirement dream. Beside her, the rest of my appointments were cancelled. The next best thing that happen this week to me was that I am going to start a project with a very close fren of mine. I am quite confident that it will be a success. Will update u guys when everything start to roll..
Went to Baraclava on wednesday. That place ROCKS!!! The band was great!!! Though I didn't catch their name, the lead vocal was great, bassist was outta the world and the sexy lady playing both the violin and piano, U are the SEXIEST!!! ;P Had great fun there with my colleagues. The drinks are also kinda cheap if U order them before 9. It is one for one.. Had 4 pints of Hollegaarden. Not sure if I spell them correctly. Kinda regret that I didn't order more... Anyway, there is always next time.. :)
Anyway, like what my heading say, I am really wishing for a great week next week. Sort of make or do for me. If I can convince that lady to place her trust with me, I am closer to my target this week than I ever have been. And if the project I had with my friend really take off, I would be earning some more money come end of August.. Anyway, just got back from work and I am playing minesweeper flag with a friend as I am typing this. Till I am free again. See u guys!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it had been a tospy turvy day today. Started with me getting up late(what's new?), rushing to the office before being given a stare by my manager, Kyle. I prefer a stare than a nagging from Sara(my lovely naggy manager) at any given time. Met up with Alfred(a fren of mine from the army) for lunch and also talked to him about CPF investment. This man rocks!! He is a self taught magician and does a great balloon sculpturing job. From what I had seen from his tricks and balloons, he is sure to make it big in the future.. After that was followed by more work(rather leave out my nightmare experience). Something good did came out from it.
Watched the Bruce Lee documentary on Discovery Channel. It was great. Bruce Lee had always been my favourite martial art artise. He got a great philosophy on life, great mental strength and great determination. I mean, as a chinese striking it out in a racial discriminating US in the 1960s, this man deserve all the respect that we can afford to him.
Later heard from Aik Guang that Jones had closed another case. I am happy for him. This man deserve it. He had been working hard and I always believe that luck favour the brave. So Jones if u are reading this, forget my bantering of your luck. U deserve every bit of luck on you. But this also turn up the heat on me. I am now doing the chasing but I am not one who will give up before the finishing point. I am still confident that i can hit my goal and nothing is going to bring me down. Rock On!! We will all make it for fast track. And this include Charie if U are reading this. Speak up!! Rock on LITTLE GAL!!!
Anyway. caught King Arthur last night. It is a movie which I will give 4 stars. One star is for the presence of Keira Knightley. ;P She looks stunning in the movie though she doesn't have a lot of dialouge nor change of costume. It is her eyes that does the trick. :) Anyway, got a feeling that this movie was trying to be the next BraveHeart. But there are simply no comparision between the two. BraveHeart remains one of the best movie that I had seen with a great soundtrack to boot. Anyway, got to go. Rock On and FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, this is my first
post. Totally new at this. Seen some of my frens blogging and it seems
quite fun. Anyway, someone once say to me that it would be better to
pen out my thoughts here then pen it all inside me. I just wish that
the person is right. :) Anyway, this is a Sat and I am doing this.
Guess this show u how "alive" I am. But I think this is the only day of
the week I feel that I have time for myself. Anyway, been working quite
hard recently for an incentive. Close friends of mine should know what
I am saying I think I really need this for some personal and family
reasons.. Keeping my fingers crossed. For me, it's ain't over till the
fat lady sings. Well, I guess I will spend some more time on touching
this thing up before showing it to the world.. After that is back to a
show that I just downloaded but never have the time to watch. About a
boy starring Hugh Grant. I had always been a sucker for British films.
Think that there are witty and a joy to watch. Till my next post, see
whoever maybe reading this again.

Had a tired and not so eventful day today. No sit down as usual but got a few quality names. Still feel that I can do better. I must concentrate more on my work if I am to hit my incentive. Anyway, after watching About a boy last night invoke some thoughts in me. The lead in the movie who is Hugh Grant like to liken himself to an island. He don't like to has any relationship with ladies except the occasional fling. Well, all this change when he met a boy who will change his life. Anyway, can us humans really live by ourselves?? I mean some of us out there really do believe that we don't need anyone in our lives to make us complete. I beg to differ. I mean to me singlehood may just be like living on an island. It is great living on the island. But I am sure this feeling won't last as one day U might find out that with no one with u on the island, life will kinda suck. Visitors like your flings or friends will visit u occasionally but are they there to stay? I mean friends can stay for a while but definitely not forever. They also have their own islands to man. Sometimes, I hate to be living on my island all by myself. Times when I am feeling down, dejected and friends just don't understand me. I always wish that how nice it will be if someone was there by my side together with me on my island. But all humans are fickle-minded. There are also times when I was in a relationship that I wish that I could just have my own free time. So to all my friends out there, if you are still living by yourself on your island or worse with memories together with you. It is time to search for someone to share your island. No man is an island. Well, for me I think I can still bear with the feeling of being the sole ruler of my island. Gtg sleep now. Nitezzz..
