Tenrikyo Got Talent 2009 - Singapore

25th Dec 2009 - Christmas Day

Finally was the day for the year-end party by Tenrikyo Misssion Centre ( Singapore). Every year, they do have year -end party on 25 th Dec, but this year was a bit different. They had a special program called "Tenrikyo Got Talent". This program was suggested by the GTK( Great Teacher Kawabata) aka Kawabata Sensei aka Pop Star Kawabata..but now had promoted to Super Star Kawabata!!

We had 10 groups of people joining this event. Some of them sang japanese songs, some of them danced and for me I was the balloon princess..hahahah...I was doing the balloon sculpturing. I must thank Jessie chan for helping me to put on the make-up. It was hard on her cos my eyes were quite challenging for her. :P

The practise was hard as the balloon kept bursting and also the fingers can be quite painful after the whole day of practising. Nevertheless, the effort was being paid off when I saw the smiles of the people when they looked at my kawaii balloons..

This TGT had attracted 130 people attending the year-end party at Watten Estate!!! We rocks !!!!

This was a good memory for all the audiences, the performancers and also for our 3 dear Japanese sensei tachi. This made their 2 years stay in Singapore an unforgettable event when they go back to Japan. Will miss them a lot when they go back to Japan . Next event to look forward is the Children party on New Year Day. Sweet sake is to be drank on that day for  good blessing for the new year 2010 ahead!

Christmas 2009

8 more days to christmas day and also to our very first "Tenrikyo Got Talent 2009 - Singapore".


Christmas to me is like a romantic holiday.
My dream is to have a White Christmas with my 恋人..but when will this dream be fulfilled???? I also dont know..hope that I won't  need to wait too long..hehehe...

Although there is no  恋人 this year...but I have my "Tenrikyo Got Talent 2009 - Singapore". Something that I am looking forward to it ...should have a lot of fun and laughter. I feel that one of the happiest thing for me in year 2009 was to go back to study my Japanese. As I went back, I knew new friends and of course I got a wonderful and funny Japanese teacher who always will praised him everywhere , anywhere and anytime..hahahaha..

Happening week.

The week was filled of laughter and fun with the celebrating of our Japanese November Babies - 森本先生　と　川端先生.

They had a lot of cake for the whole week...maybe it was the first experience of  having the most cake eaten ever in the whole week..hahaha.. but this also showed their popularity among the students.

Of course, as usually I made two lovely cards for these two lovely  先生。Spent quite some time choosing the individual present for them as it wasn't an easy task, especially for 川端先生. I knew he likes to perform magic so went to do some research over the net and also went to The Magic Hall and stared for almost 2 hrs plus before deciding on which magic tool to buy for him. Finally bought him something "WOW" and hope he can be able to master the magic.

As for 森本先生, went around shopping here n there and finally found one very lovely necklace that she can used it for accessories.

Everything was worth when I saw the smiles on them when they received the cards and the presents. We had great time at the Hong Kong Cafe at Marina Square on thur ( 12th November ) which was the exact day of  川端先生 birthday. Followed by a BBQ on the sat to celebrate again for 川端先生 and also for 森本先生 as her birthday was on the 15th November.

Although I lost the opportunity of staffing which some of you know what it means , but I found another door of happiness which I never thought that it could be so fun. So when a door closed in your life, there will sure be another one for you to open but is just whether you want to take the risk to open and see what is there for you.

On sunday, I also met up with some of my LP 79 friends. Seeing them made me feel so happy. Met up with Pin and Verdy for a ice cream session at Bugis first before going for the porridge buffet. The ice cream wasn't that nice :( . Next met up with Rebecca, Ivan, Fiona and Bryan for  the porridge buffet, also not nice..that made me even more sad :( :(
Apart from all the "not nice" food, I enjoyed myself with them. It had been quite some time I had last seen them.

I had a fulfilling week by enjoying with the people around me, appreciating the friendship that had been built, building new friendship around me etc..

ok..time for some beauty sleep and go to work tomorrow...

HTC Tattoo

Thinking of getting myself a new hand phone as my Nokia hand phone is not functioning that well ...old already...but still usable =) 

Was browsing through the Internet and see what new hand phones are up in the market and came across "HTC Tattoo". From there, found out that it uses  Android platform which happens to be quite an IN THING now which I don't seem to have any clue on it at all !!!!

Still considering whether is it worth for me to get one or not although it is not that expensive considering it is a PDA phone.. but I do not wish to get a hand phone and end up I only  call or sms ..just because I do not know how to use the phone function and the money is paid for. Sound stupid isn't it??? ( although I do admit that  I am quite an  IT-idiot..hahaha )

HTC Tattoo かどうか、わかりません。

Morning Madness

RRing........5 am in the morning , my alarm clock rang...It was time for me to wake up.
I had promised Nicky to do prospecting with him at 6.30am at Joo Keng which in my life of my career, I had never do this before.

To my surprised that the MRT at 6am was almost full. People had started working at this hour whereas a lot of us were still sleeping ( I am one of them lor :P) We didn't get any leads but we wont give up so easily. We will continuing doing it.

Afternoon, went for my haircut and were discussing about insurance with my hairstylist. He was my new hairstylist anyway. During the conversation then I realized that he got a premium of $1600 per mth for his insurance coverage. He was a true believer of insurance. Not only that, he is a freelance hairstylist. For every haircut he do , he only charged $10. Yet he can pay the premium every mth and also give himself a good life.

I started to do a reflection on myself .
"Hello Cindy Tan , what are you doing and what do you want. People out there earning $10 per haircut can make it. What about you? What it takes from you to make it happen for yourself ?

"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny."   Emerson, Ralph Waldo

sleepless nights....

I had not been sleeping well since last week...almost only able to fall asleep about 4-5am...too stress ?? I also don't know...

Yesterday I only slept for two hours...but I wasn't feeling tired at all...Is this normal? or I am once again get into my insomia.

Last quarter of the year is here and things have and need to be done. For the past 3 quarters , I am in a confusion state..but it doesnt seem any better now anyway :(

But last Friday, I was happy for Verdy because his company We! Interactive had officially opened. Though office space was not up to his expectation but like what he said is not how big or nice the office is, but how much can he make out of it.
So Verdy, 頑張ってください.

I think I need to sleep to think well.....zzzZZZZ

5 days

hmm......
Went to see doctor after on n off of suffering of sore throat, blocked nose and fever etc for a week or so....
Who knows I need to go through one blood test and one more test ( test for H1N1, which the doctor had inserted a fine tube into your nose for a few seconds...not painful , but uncomfortable ) This test will be sent to MOH, so if i that "heng" and received call from MOH then i need to stay at home even longer. PLEASE DON'T!!

Blood test result showed that my white blood cells were lower than normal, which means that I already have another bacteria infection on top of being suspected of H1N1. haiz.... :(

Doctor had given me 5 days of mc to ask me to rest at home. Let me think when was the last time I was given 5 days mc? hmm..that should be 7 or 8 years ago when I was having my wisdom tooth operation...hahaha..

So these few days , I would be staying at home...drinking lot of water and rest well.......... this is how i spend my long weekend  :'(

Unexpected Call

Today I received an unexpected call which made me feel surprised and touched.
This call was from Dennis ( Weiye's manager). He called and told me that he felt heartache for me to leave the agency. He wanted to talk to me. Unexpectedly, I agreeded to meet him. Immediately when I put down the phone, I cried. This time round, I did not suppress my sadness. :..(

All the while, I can't bear to leave OWY agency. I really love this agency including my manager although at times I feel like boxing him..hahaha...but he do teach me a lot of stuff be it is good or bad stuff.

Today, I realised that I am always the one giving up myself in one way or another...

Where is my 100% to myself , to my work, to my life??

OWY agency never give up on me from the first day I become one of them..

I cried for almost half an hr..all my current bosses and friends came over to me and asked me what happen. I don't know how to tell them..

Once again, I feel for my agency ...

What is my final decision now, I also don't know..........

Human

人之初，性本善？

These few days i really wonder this sentence leh..are we born with kindness?
A lot of things happen around me..i really see the ugly side of a man. When a man lost his sense, he really can forget all the love and concern given to him over the years. Why do people just don't treasure the ones beside them and always looking for fun outside. Is it really true that the grass over the other side is always greener? If more n more this type of man exist in this world, i really do not know how to world is going to be...it seem so sad.

Of cos on the other side of the coin, i saw the strong friendship happening around me too.

Gal, a message to you :
don't worry. No matter what happen, you also have nice n supportive friends around you. From what I know at least got 3 lah..you should know who the 3 of them is. Be strong and move on =)

WHat is love?

When you are his main course , he can do anything and everything for you.
When you become his dessert, he can still try to have it.
When you are not his main course nor dessert, he deemed as he never had it before.

Is this what you called LOVE?

Marriage is not a certificate that you can just take it and forget it.
Be responsible!!!

Gal, be strong. Love yourself =)

Bleeding Love

Where am I now?

A old man came saw 3 men working and they were all doing the same work which was laying bricks.

The old man went up to the 1st guy and ask him : "Sir , what are you doing?" The 1st guy replied : " Can't you see , I am laying bricks."

The old man went up to the 2nd guy and ask him the same question : " Sir , what are you doing ?" The 2nd guy replied :" I am building a wall."

Once again, the old man went up to the 3rd guy : " Sir, what are you doing ?" The 3rd guy replied : " I am building a church."

Everyone might be doing the same work in and out everyday but the vision behind each individual will dictate ones action and push him forward everyday.

For the 1st guy, he just lay his bricks, the 2nd guy aimed to build a wall and the 3rd guy wanted to build a church at the end of the day. 3 guys doing the same stuff but the answers given by them were all different. The difference was the Vision that they had at the back of their mind. Who would not give up if meet difficulties while laying the bricks? You and I know the answer very well...Is the 3rd guy.

The reason for that not only he can see where he is going but he also knew where he is now . He can only build his church by laying his bricks first...step by step to build his dream church.

We always see only our end destination. But question is where are we now ? If we don't even know where are we now, how are we going to head ourselves towards the end destination even if we have the map and compass.

What you can do in 5 mins?

SHAPE run 09.

19th of July was here...It was SHAPE run 2009.

Woke up at 6am to get ready for the run. Reached Millenia Walk at about 6.30am by cab..too lazy to take bus cos I was still in my dreamland..lol

This was the first time I had took the initiative to sign up for some running thingy and was the furthest distance I had ever run. I must be crazy to sign up as I hate running since young..hahaha..but don't know why I had actually sign up and get my LP 79 friends to run with me too. CRAZY liao....

I did not train at all for this run...Too tired and lazy to train :P
Therefore was a bit worried I could not complete the run.So when I was at the starting point I told myself my goal for today's race was to complete it. Once it flagged off at around 7.45am, I just kept running in my comfort pace so that I could maintained it for the 5km. The weather was nice and with some music, it somehow do keep me running on..

My handphone was a MP3 for me..I had selected some songs for the run...initially was playing some slow songs, then I found that it was not tat motivating ..so decide to change to some fast songs...At the end, I had chosen "Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry and this one and only song had accompany me at least for 3km :)

During half way, I had blister and somehow do feel like giving up and walked back, then I told myself that never mind..I should not give up so fast and just kept running...I did walk here and there but at the end I had managed to finish running within 45mins. YEAH!!!!

The willingness to do running was supposed had built up during my LP 79 journey. I had a bitchy buddy . VERDY YONG , who kept asking me to run even at midnight lor...my 1st 5km was "trained" by him too...hahaha...I would never forget it as it was a torture at that time...lol.

I was happy and proud of myself that I could complete the run and the best part it was within the timing I had set for myself. I must praise myself for that.

WELL DONE CINDY ! =)

The Imperfect

Today was finally our LP 79 gathering. At 4.40pm, got a call from the printer saying that there was some cock up with our books that we supposed to give it for our LP 79. I was devastated. My gathering would be starting at 7.30pm and now is what 4.40pm, how am I going to handle this situation? Haiz...... I was given the choice to make a stand. The books were delivered at last..but imperfect :(

The previous day was the same situation too..The CD casing was not what we wanted. Luckily, we still managed to solve it after all..the end product is quite nice too...but still another imperfect :(

Despite of all the imperfect stuff we had, we still managed to make it happen.

I was shocked to see Weiye ( my enroller ) to be here, cos I didn't receive his reply after I sent out my invitation to him..He really ah...still complain to my buddy about me...of cos , he was being given one of our LP 79 book.

This gathering to some of us was like pregnancy. We had miscarriages in between but heng..no abortion..hahaha..At the end, the babies ( LP 79 book & CD) were out with some imperfection but still..we always love our babies no matter how imperfect they were :)

My weekend

Guess what ? I am now at my friend's house surfing the net and writing this blog. What are they doing leh? They were playing mahjong as usual since afternoon. I should really said that mahjong is no longer their hobby but really is their passion. They built up the relationship through mahjong, laughed together and make fun of one another. They are really a bunch of funny guys.

If there is really a mahjong marathon, I will nominate two of the power kids to go. They are James and Patrick. They can really play throughout and without the shag face...hahahah..if they put in this effort in work, they will be high flyer wor..James and Patrick, pls put your mahjong passion into your work too and you can become high flyer too ! Gambatte ne!

Finally, most of the LP thingys had been settled. Now is to wait for Thursday to come and I should be able to see my LP 79 friends. Pls pray hard for me that the gathering is successful. A few people effort are in there , trying to make it a success. Really looking forward to Thur as this is the 1st gathering ever since we graduated. I really need to appreciate Anson for his effort as I had been rushing him in and out to make certain things happen to me.

What am i avoiding?

A few things had changed and happend over the weeks..new friends , new life, new "mahjong breakthrough" for me...hahahaa..15 hrs ya..shag but fun cos I got to know a bunch of crazy guys and I also don't know why they like to make fun of me while playing mahjong.. Whatever I said , they will laughed at it..Hello, I am not a joker leh :P

I enjoyed being with them..

I am not avoiding certain people or certain thing..just that I don't feel the openess .. I understand everyone got their own life, maybe the culture was not not there first place. But nevertheless...I still love them as they taught me a lot of things..we are better off being friends as we only know how to play hard together.

Walking in the rain

Dark clouds, drizzling & cool wind...WOW! what a nice weather to be lying on my bed and be in my dreamland. Sad to say, this is not the case for today. I had been walking in the rain for a few hrs with a hardworking guy. He was really an inspiration of 100% is possible , 100% all the time. I think if is last time, I would have give up and go back to my lovely bed. But still, I need to take care of my health if not wait sick liao, nobody cares :"(

I had been shifting my being and remind myself on my being. When being is correct, things fall in place nicely. Well..at times is really difficult and let loose a bit lah but hello, I am still a human being, not a robot that can be programmed and delete my feelings anytime, anywhere.

Suddenly missed my crazy LP days. Those were the 3 months that can never be forgotten..

LP 79 frens, I miss and love you all =)
Never mind, I should be able to see most of u all, as we are going to have our 1st gathering ( *crossing fingers now*) although a lot of things seem not yet finalize :P

WELL, MAKE IT HAPPEN then !!! hahaha..

HOT ! HOT ! HOT!

I am not referring to myself..but refer to the weather in Singapore...IS REALLY DAMN HOT !!!! We really need to do something for the global warming issue..if not I really can't image how the future generation can survived with the hot weather which I suppose it will get worsen in years to come... Pls people, save the Earth ...

I think I need to carry my that CMI ( Cannot-Make-It) Winnie the Pooh fan out again...but I am resisting myself to do that in order not to spoil my image :P

Hey Mr Buddy, where is my CMI ( Can -Make -It) fan as promised. I do really need it now.

Happiness

Someone told me this quote today.

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without actions."
Benjamin Disraeli

I feel that this sentence is very true especially in love relationships.

At times, You feel for somebody and express to him/her, but you are not the person for that somebody. You feel dejected and sad, then you decided to give up and not to take any risk anymore.
At times, when you feel for the person, but you scare to be rejected and get hurt, so keep mute and do nothing about it, you might just miss the chance and it is gone forever.

Both cases here are negative results, but coins have both sides. The other is the positive results and you will be surrounded with love. But the very 1st step is to take actions..as there is no action, there is ZERO result.

For those who are now in the love boat, treasure the time and the one beside you.
For those who are still finding the one to be in the love boat, be brave and take the risk.

iPhone, iWood ..now is iNO

Not iPhone, not iWood , is iNo!!!!

Must all phone models come with the 'i' then consider trendy ??


This iNo is not for me, is for the elderly and children.

There is a special SOS button on the back of the handset so that if an elderly person gets into trouble, pressing the single button will send emergency calls and text messages to four pre-programmed numbers. And when the button is released, the phone will also sound a siren to attract the attention of passers-by. Cool right ?

The outlook look like my calculator..hahaha..

No 3G, no camera etc ..i thought of the 1st generation 大哥大, but of cos, this iNO looks more stylish in a way. The 1st generation 大哥大 can used to eat crab wor..big n sturdy..hahaha..

Is quite cheap too..well..can consider to buy for your elderly in your family. :P

Time for training ....

Yesterday , AW celebrated her 10th Anniversary in Singapore. The Creation Team had actually came up an idea to have a Torch Pass round Singapore from LP Legacy to LP 81. Each LP would have to run 1 km and that total up to 82km round Singapore. Of course , as an GLP, the Creation Team won't let us off that easy..Each km was to be completed in 5mins. Based on results, it worked!

My LP 79 would have to run and that was for sure. Some of us had to start running for LP 27, 28 & 29. The interesting part was it started to rain heavily when we reached Lavender MRT. :(

WE STILL RUN!! 1st time ran in the rain..Real wet but also Real fun!!!!

Waiting for the time to pass until our LP 79 to run, our start point at Takashimaya..and ending point we pledged to run till Crescent Girls. ( which I don't know where the hell is Crescent Girls lor..) With Ad's encouragement , I finally completed and reached Crescent Girls safely and in one piece...also 1st time running along Orchard Area..

Is time to train for my SHAPE run , if not I think I will have hard time for the SHAPE run and might need to be crutches after my run...hahaha..

Mid point check

Is already June 2009 and is time for mid-point for the year.
I must admitted that a lot of things are not being done for the 1st half of the year. Being through a few low moments , just tat the difference now , I am able to shift faster and make a stand for myself.

When I took the courage to face up and made a choice, I felt happy and light. I realised slowly the rest of the area of my life would be in place automatically.

Life is just like a domino effect. When one area fall, the rest will fall and at times we never realise how big the impact can be. As long as we never give up , we still can salvage our life and form a wonderful picture. We only live once after all.

A few things will be expected for the next half year. I am excited about it and I am going to live my life and create love and fun around me.

I need a real man

This is what i need.

You can say that I am being a victim or whatever but hello, ain't you become a victim too ???

Whatever it is, I shall be ME and do it in my way...

I am not going to change my stand as I know I am being honest with everything as told!!!!!

Thoughts

Hmm..saw a few interesting stuff yesterday


Went to John Little , as Tim wanted to buy some brief ya...went to see a few brands and realised that one of the brand they actually have this "anti-bacteria" for their briefs. I really wonder how this "anti-bacteria" works? Wear already, u will be bacteria-free ??hahaha..

Out of curiosity, I wonder if we, ladies, have this privilege of having "anti-bacteria" undergarments too, so we went over the the ladies section. YES!! We do have too. It is made of bamboo, Eco-friendly and anti-bacteria too.

Question: By cutting down more bamboo and make into garments , does this consider "Eco-Friendly"?


There is this shop in Marina Square that I love to go in and take a look. It sells very interesting stuff from time to time. Saw this thingy which i thought is some kind of cups initially and it also looks like some hair care tube too. When take a closer look and after some explanation from the sales personnel then realise is male adult toys. These products are from Japan. Quite a few choices for guys to choose from..It is very innovative and Japanese are real smart people.

Guys, if you need them, go to the link below and check it out.

Finally in the evening ,met up with Verdy for dinner and went to watch "Angels & Demons". This is the novel written by Dan Brown.
It was a nice movie but pls Verdy, next time don't choose to sit the first two rows..i will feel giddy :S
After the movie, we were chatting on how religion play a part in our lifestyle nowadays and how it had affected to some of the people around us?
Have you ever wonder how you get in contact with your religion , you choose it or you just follow your parents ? well..you own your life afterall...

Live in passion

Was watching a TV program last night featuring some of the artist in Singapore. From there realised when they had just started their business, they had no design background at all. They just have the passion in them and take the risk and go for it.

I had been all the while in love with designing, drawing..but had too much considerations and not living in my life. Just be a victim and envy others who are in the design field...

1st time using Adobe Illustrator to draw..Simple drawing but is using the heart to draw..More room for improvement :)

I named this artwork "In Love With you"

Acknowledgement to my Daddy and Mummy

There is this PVC 2 Photo acknowledgement thingy going on..It is to acknowledge people around you..We acknowledge every single friends around us, but we always failed or forget to acknowledge the ones that brought us to this wonderful world and that is our parents.

I was sobbing while writing the acknowledgement to them. I had never acknowledge them before..this is my 1st time..I don't think that words can describe my feeling for them right now...I just want to tell them..

I LOVE YOU , PAPA and MUMMY!

6048001250

Last week was a torture to me somehow or rather...but whatever it is , I need to let it go, move on and carry on..anyway the "someone" finally willing to talk to me already :S

I do have a whole bunch of bitchy friends around me but seriously I do enjoy being a bitch! hahaha...


I was being told with a few statistics on what is happening around me.

1. For every sec, there is a child die of starvation on Earth. So while we are wasting our time don't know what to do, bitching around, writing this blog,doing our work etc.. some poor child in the other part of the world is fighting for his/her survival. For a week 604,800 lives are to be taken away.

2. For every 1 GLP being light up, he/she is able to light up another 250 lives around him/her. So whenever GLP is down or back to automatic self and not being himself/herself, we are affecting 250 lives direct & indirectly.

Nothing in your life happen without a reason. I had sorted out my thoughts for the past few days and get myself move on. What I always neglected is my INTENTION as I always focused on the mechanics but if intention is not cleared all results failed no matter what mechanics is being used !!

TIME TO BE A BITCH!!!

The Mystic Force Story

Legend says when the Darkness arises, fire brave teen Sorcerers will be called to fight for the planet's survival.

With guidance from their wise mentor and the ancient Xenetome, Book of the Unknown, they will embark on magical adventures, befriend mystical dragons, battle dangerous beasts, encounter pure evil....

and transfom into the Power Rangers Mystic Force.

I wana be a polar bear

This is a misheard lyric from the 1978 Eurovision song contest. It just cheers me up for the day. Enjoy!

Anasethic Cure

I feel like injecting anasethic to my heart and let it feel numb....since I can't let my feeling through me and it is torturing me for a few days. I am suppressing a lot of feeling to be cool, to be strong, to be fine to others. How long can I hold on to this feelings? I am now simply just a zombie communicating to the world outside me..

Awesome !

This is damn cool !!1 Check it out =)

No more Number 1

Number 1 had always been a good number to everyone. Number 1 in this , Number 1 in that etc.. But number 1 to me had another meaning too..

I had been voting myself a "1" and that is why my life is not working. How long am I going to hold on this voting and doing pain to myself and others?
Ms Nerdy gal is wasting the resources, the oxygen, the space, the love, the Mother Nature to survive in this planet called Earth.

Be present and Say Goodbye to Ms Nerdy gal.


Make it happen ! Remember the distinctions !

Taking for Granted

I was angry!!
Based on result, it made me feel that I was taken for granted. :(
I was contemplating to answer your call as I was still boiling with anger, but chance need to be given for your explanation.

Since you sincerely apologised, I accepted it. :)
Although it was a small matter but the choice you made would affect on others. This applies to all your choice that you are going to make in your life!

Time to stop, step left, choose and vote ! =)
Jia You !

Feelings

Flu bugs had been bugging me and yet to have any sign of leaving me :(

Over the few days, had been trying to install some programs but FAILED!
Chatting with one of my poly mate over the msn at one of late nights, realised that I had wasted my 3 years in the poly studying stuff that I am not into at all...haiz... I studied the course b'cos of what my parents wanted me to do for the future..now I realised is not working for me ...but time can never be reversed. So Let's forget the past and move on..What is next for me?

Learn my stuff and move on. Nothing is impossible and is a matter of choice and be committed to what I want for myself. Is my life and I need to own it! =)

Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah

It reminds me of my Advance Course in AsiaWorks =)

Down with Flu

Haiz...attacked by the flu virus...nowadays the flu virus are getting stronger and I am getting weaker...being tortured by it for the past few days :(

Saturday morning suppose to have a Single Mingle, but I can't woke up and also my special "morning call @ 8am" failed as he called me like what 12.30pm. Well done ! That was his @8am morning call :(

But still I pulled myself up and get dressed to meet my LP 79 friends at the KTV in the afternoon because our dear Gene is getting into the army on Wed. He wanted to have some fun ,so even though I was ill, I will still go down and had fun with him. Having flu and having fun at the same time are tough job!!!

Didn't have a nice dinner with my friends as I got porridge at home and They had nice Japanese food :..(
I still enjoyed the dinner time with them as we had our "LAME JOKES" session...hahaha...Is really super lame...We shall have more lame jokes next time.

Welcome Home Buddy

8th of April , my buddy, Verdy was back from Taiwan from 3 weeks of training. Wanted to surprise him with a present that Fiona and I choose for him, so I sms him to check what time he reach S'pore. He only said around 1am ..As it was a surprise so did not ask him much to arouse his suspicious :x

Went to check on the flight schedule in the afternoon but can't find any flight that would reach S'pore around 1am. So sms Chris, as he would be picking up Verdy. I was told that Verdy would be taking SQ . Check the flight schdule again in the evening and realised that if Verdy is going to take SQ flight, then he would reach s'pore at 11pm lor...Verdy won't be so blur about his own timing of flight right...so check on all airlines flying back to S'pore and the 8th of April again and finally saw that EVA AIRLINE from Taipei to S'pore arrived at 12.40am. Only update about 5 hrs before reaching S'pore...It was that effective...

Since flight schedule was confirmed, I met up with Pin to go airport. We reached there around 8pm and had dinner over there. We brought all my paper stuffs to do some hand-made cards that we intended to give it to our LP 79 April babies...I managed to finish about 2 cards before Verdy's flight reached S'pore.

12.30am, we stopped our work and get ready to surprise Verdy. Around 1am, I recognised that was Verdy's luggage bag as he bought it at the very last min together with 5 girls before he left was already on the belt. His luggage bag was the first few that we saw, but he was not the first few that came out of the belt. It took him about 45 mins to get all his luggage before he see us...It was that effective again....

This was the first time i picked people up from the airport...usually i just send off... It was tiring as the flight was around 1am, but it was fun..see the smile and happiness of my buddy, I know is worth picking him up..

Welcome home buddy =)

Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour : 28th March 2009 , Sat @ 2030( Singapore Time )

Did you know about the Earth Hour? or you didnt even bother or know about this thingy....
Earth Hour is a campaign to highlight climate change & global warming.

Time zone by time zone, nearly 4,000 cities and towns in 88 countries joined the event sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund to dim nonessential lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The campaign began in Australia in 2007 and last year grew to 400 cities worldwide.

Singapore do take part in the Earth hour but Only some 8,000 individuals took part and the number short fall of the target of 1 million. :( Hmm..a lot of work need to be done for raising the awarness on the effect of global warming ya...

Every little effort and things you do will have an effect on the Earth.
Love the mother nature and she will love you too. Be kind and protect her.

Save the world !

Victim or Responsible

At home, the whole day doing some stuff...

At 5.30pm, received a call from Elaine asking who made the video for our LP 79 WOW day as it can't be played for the guest event ..so need to handle it.

So called up and checked then realised they wanted to play through DVD player but our video format is wma. format ya...if can't handle in time, we can have our video still played at the guest event but is for tomorrow only..so I can either choose to ignore and hack care as I am not really that IT savvy lor... or choose to handle it!!!

Well, since I love my LP 79 so much, I choose to handle and called up my dear Ah wei and asked her how to go about doing that...she told me steps by steps and get the DVD out at 5.50pm. Challenge is to reach at AW by 6.30pm...Guess what , I reached at 6.20pm..Yeah!

I feel like crying when the DVD is being play...To me , even if nobody wants to watch the video, is ok to me...because based on results, my intention is to get the DVD out on time and making the impossible to be possible =)

At least now I learned how to convert a wma. file to a DVD ...Coolz!

Congratulations!

Today was Basic Graduation Day, of cos this was nothing new to me..but today was different as my cousin, Kenneth, was one of the Graduate. It was really a touching moments when I stood in front of him to wait for him to open his eyes...

If wasn't that, I made a stand to talk about this course to him, today he would not be there..and I would have taken a chance away from him to let him discover his possibilities, his life....

If wasn't that, Verdy and Ken made me realise the importance of enrollment, today I will still be playing a number game...

I had taken a risk. I had made a stand. I had touched lives. I had made it happen! :)

Once again, Congratulations to all the Graduates from Basic Training, Is your Life and Own It!

Superman Verdy Yong

Verdy, This is your song.
It is hard for you but I know you are strong and powerful to be yourself in the way you want to.

Happy Birthday Cindy

Year 2009 birthday was really an unforgettable one...Is a meaningful and filled with a lot of feelings...

Saturday night , had our Vertical Marathon @ Mount Faber..When the clock striked 12am which was my birthday, some of my LP 79 course mates and my buddy celebrated with me at the peak of Mount Faber. Nice view and nice people around me..I felt very touched and happy :)

Sunday, actual day of my birthday, spent the morning and afternoon at home and rest....Late afternoon, went to AW for a briefing for the last blast of fire that we should have for my last week of LP 79 journey...attended LP 81 rally..then to Wei Jie's baby girl 1st mth shower...after that went for my SGM...

This is one of the best SGM I had since the start of LP 79 journey...I did something that in my life I never do before..all I want to say from my bottom of my heart is "Thank you Buddy"

I really love the people in LP 79. Thank you for the wonderful birthday that you all gave me! =)

Impactful Sunday

6.30am, my alarm rang...ARGH!!!! I need to wake up for my SGM!!! :(

I only managed to sleep for a few hrs....dragged myself up and get ready to go for my SGM at Cityhall at 8am on a Sunday morning...



We were then brought to the Civilian War Memorial to do self reflection. We had some quiet moments for ourselves. Each individual of us having different experience for the reflection. As for me, this was really the 1st time I sat at the park and observe the surrounding. The park was quiet and peaceful while the surrounding was buzzing. Cityhall, Suntec City building, buses , cars , people rushing and walking .....



This reminds me of my life..no matter how quiet and peaceful,angry, sad, shut off etc that I choose to be, the world around me lives on..They won't stop because of me. I can have my quiet moment, but I need to pull myself up fast because once the second hand tick, the previous second was history and never be able to retrieve back. How you want people to remember you , is how you use your every second in your life to create a difference in them and yourself.



After this reflection , I went off with my small group members to LP 80 WOW day at SWAMI. I helped and chatted with a cheerful and strong Ah ma. She is 84 years old this year. She spoke Hokkien and she told me that she treated SWAMI as her home. She do morning exercise, help the nurses to clean up, push those old needy to the garden everyday. When I asked her to take a photo with me, she was still worried that her hair was not "Swee" ( beautiful in Hokkien ) and keep "combing" her hair with her hands.

Click on the hyperlink of SWAMI, you can find this Ah ma nice photos featured in the web page =)



Cute and Positive Ah Ma!! I salute you for your big heart and happy-go-lucky attitude.



Next, I talked to lady whose named is Josephine. She can only speak English and Mandarin. She had two boys. One is 11, the other is 10 this year. She suffered from stroke and need to go for physiotherapy. She told me that she suffered from depression as she do like travelling but because of the condition now , she is wheel-chair bound. She was sad with her life and she don't know what she can do... So now she already somehow pull herself up and try to do a lot of things to forget some of the sad issue that she had...



I challenged her to be confident in herself that she can do much more that she expect herself to be.. I told her my experience of her that she is a powerful and determine woman. She went silence for a few moments and she looked at me and told me this. "Ya. You are right! I must be confident and bring myself up and move on my life to a greater height and also I promise that when the next time you have a chance to come and visit me again, I am able to walk without the wheel chair!"

I was touched by her. She was thankful that I spoke to her and encouraged her.

Josephine , you are a powerful woman! Live on and shine on others !



This was the Sunday, I reflected my life.

This was the Sunday, I made a difference in other.

This was the Sunday, I enjoyed with my LP 79 mates.

This was the Sunday, I loved myself and others.

Emotional Week

Emotional Week, feeling down and wanting to give up.

Everything seems to be wrong, nothing moved.

Everyone lost in control, playing the viticm mode.

Enough is enough !

What's went wrong ? I don't know..

Is there an answer for it, I not sure...

I just know , I want this week to pass quickly.

Saturday Madness

I started my Saturday morning at 8am. Went to SCC to do my community service until noon and went back home to change and rest for a while until evening time went for a run with my buddy and some of the LP mates at Ngee Ann Poly yesterday...it had been years that I never went back since graduated from there...

Thinking just to complete my 2.4km , so i run as per my normal speed...so ran , jogged and walked for 8 x 400m...Wanted to stop after this, so chat with my Advance buddy about my dating for the past few weeks ...who knows I was then being challenged by my LP buddy that I was not running @100% as I was not panting and sweating like hell...I almost fainted there...

After a while, decided to run for another round with the rest of my energy...who knows when I was about to stop , I heard a familiar voice of my LP buddy and with his hands up : "5 MORE ROUNDS!!"

My immediate thought:"WHAT???5 MORE ROUNDS...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME!" but I still run since was being challenged. I think I do agree that as a buddy pair we need to be an asshole and a bitch to each other to keep us in the game..hahaha..

After completing the rounds, I almost panting like hell...and my legs muscles start to ache immediately....

After dinner, wanted to go home and rest. My LP buddy was nagging 我很饱！throughout the whole journey in the car, but then still end up at Serangoon garden eating ice - cream at abt 11plus pm, then after that went to one of our seniors house to play mahjong until 3am plus...

Just before we can start our mahjong game, my dear senior actually called up and said that he was stuck at a petrol station because his car battery was flat. We need to go down n find him to jam start his car..but when we drove the car out of the gate, a call came and said that he was on the way back as he got someone to help him. We made U-turn back in front of the gate.WTF! Waste our effort and make a fool of us leh...

My dear senior, I was sorry to 包 you on the mahjong game but then you were willing to take the risk to throw the tiles to me..So I choose to win the game lor...hahaha..Don't victimise yourself when you see me again ok...You have been nagging for a while liao..Face it ! This is just a game...We play again next time round lah..But I will be careful cos I know you will take your revenge ...hahaha..Nice game after all =)

What a wonderful Saturday I had from 8am to 3am ! Tired but fun =p

Bael Fruit

My friend had introduced this dried Bael fruit to me, saying that it can helps to reduce weight when it is to be taken a period of time.

You just need to boiled 3 pieces of the dried Bael fruit with 1.5 litres of water with small fire for half an hr. You can drink it plain if not you can add honey to it to make the taste better.

You can have a try to see if it works for you but pls note that execessive intake at a time may produce a sensation of heaviness in the stomach and may cause gastric discomfort.

Enjoy =)

New image again

I was being told to have a change of image...

I was like WHAT ?? CHANGE AGAIN?

but I am cool with my hairstyle now wor...right now even if i wear slippers out I also need to think twice compared to last time.

So I suppose now is What can be better for me ya..

Any ideas, pls tell me and help me.

Near 100%

Nobody bothers if you are near 100%, as people only care when you are at 100%.

So choose to be in 100% , if not is should be equal to waste effort ya....

Tired Vs Angry

I had comments saying that I showed up as "angry"...For the fact, I really don't know why people do see me in this way...of cos I do have some people don't find that I am showing up as "angry"...

I do not wish to justify myself for the being of "angry". For those who knows me, I appreciate that how you feel me as the way I am..Thank you =) I am just "tired"...

I do not how to differentiate these two..I do not know what to do...

I am feeling emotionally tired now :(

Sorry and Thank you, Buddy

Today was my 2nd LP weekend, we had it @Shines and we were doing rope course. We went thought a few obstacles course and when it came to one that we need to walk past the " A bridge", I failed my buddy. My buddy had put in 100% of his effort to bring me over, but because of my mistrust in myself, I didn't give a 100%. This resulted in my failing and also resulted to his failing too.

I cried and I was lost. I do have mixed feelings but I can't express myself out..My buddy would refer me that I was in a "autistic" mode. My senior,Ken, saw that I cried and came to talk to me. He told me I cried, because I do care..but I must learn to trust myself and have confident to have my buddy and me win together...I couldn't take any lunch..cos too emotional stress up...

2nd part is the rope course..I am scare of heights and I never done any rope course before..This makes me more frightened and I wonder even more how to make my buddy wins?

There is one course called the "The Broken Bridge" that my buddy choose to blindfold himself and trust me to bring him over. He told me he never forget because when he was blindfolded I didn't be in my contract and I didn't trust myself to bring him over. I still told him I was very scared and I dare not move. He replied to me that he was blindfolded and he can now only trust me to bring him over and win together. From there, I pushed myself and give a 100% to him and bring him over. I might not did the best job he expected but buddy I really try my very best and give it out for you at that moment.

The rest of the rope course were all challenge to me. I do remember one called "The Multi Vines". My buddy was shouting to me from below "what do you want?" I shouted I want to win together with my buddy.( He replied the same ans to me when I ask him this question from below too.)There was a moment I couldn't get hold of the ropes except for my own safety rope but I heard him shouted..Reach out! I trusted him and reached out for the rope..at times I do hold my safety rope but he was always there to ask me to let go...because I know I need to let go in order to reach out for the next rope..Holding back won't bring me to the next point...

Buddy,
Because of you, I cleared my rope course.
Because of you I know I have to shift my being to be confident and trusting in myself to guide you to win when you are "blinded"and we win together.
Because of you, I know I am powerful.

Buddy, I am proud of you as you are my result since Advance and also I am glad that you are proud of me as I am also your result since Advance.

I am proud of myself too =)

Won't Go Home Without You

Won't Go Home Without You lyrics
I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
And she left before I had the chance to say
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe it

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath, I'll never get over
And the noises that she made kept me awake
The weight of the things that remain unspoken
Built up so much, it crushed us every day

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe it

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I've felt I've never really showed
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

I really don't know how to use chopstick

I just had my dinner with some of my LP mates...then there was this sweet guy suddenly said to me : " Can I give you some feedback?" of course you can...this was what he said : " The way you hold the chopstick with the chicken was really wrong lor..How can you go on dates in this way ?"

Everyone was laughing off the heads at me...So I tried my best to do the correct way but my fingers just don't listen to me....hahaha..

Can I be committed to do the correct way ? So I do a search on the net, and I found something interesting..

Japan had a innovative product that you need to place your fingers on the dents of this chopstick. These chopsticks will teach you the correct way to hold chopsticks naturally. I think I need one of this chopsticks to teach me how to hold chopsticks correctly..hahaha. :P
Nevertheless, learning the correct method allows you to use any chopsticks available on the table....So Let's learn bah...

Pick up the first chopstick with the middle finger and thumb. Stiffen your hand for a firm grip. Have the broad end of the chopstick lay on the part where your thumb and index finger connect. Rest the narrow end on the tip of your ring finger, and hold it in place with the tip of your middle finger. (Hint: try holding it the way you hold a pen to write. It might rest on your ring finger or your middle finger, held in place by your index finger. Place the chopstick then lift your index finger so it can hold the second chopstick.)

Grip the second chopstick with your index finger. Place your thumb over the second chopstick. Adjust your grip to a more comfortable position. Make sure the narrow tips of the chopsticks are even with each other to help prevent them from crossing or being unable to "pinch" the food.

Hold it steady. This chopstick should not move when you attempt to pick up food. Alternatively, hold the first chopstick steady and move the second (top) chopstick by moving the tip of your index finger up and down while the thumb remains relatively steady, acting like a pivot point. The top chopstick remains pressed to the index finger from the tip through the first joint. The movement comes from flexing the joint closest to the knuckle. Straightening your index finger opens the chopsticks and bending it closes them, with perhaps a slight flexing of the thumb to keep the chopsticks lined up with each other. (Note: this alternative is different from the photos in how the top chopstick is held. The movement comes from the top chopstick, not the bottom one, so the top chopstick is held so that it can be moved easily. Use the method that is comfortable for you.)

Practice opening and closing the chopsticks. Make sure the broad ends of the chopsticks do not make an "X" as this will make it difficult to pick up food.
Pick up food at a good angle (try roughly 45 degrees from the plate); slightly lift it up. If it feels unstable, put it down and try again.

Enchanted Wonderland

I had my LP 79 WOW day on the 31st of Jan 2009 - Enchanted Wonderland @ Punggol Marina

It was spectacular and magnificent. After all the sweat, frustration, worries, tiredness, and the midnight oil that we burnt etc..we finally see our WOW day happened and it was really a day when we tears to happiness =)

The day started early for my event team members and me. We were there to make sure things and rides were in placed and last min check ..When the time was approaching at 3pm, and the first bus of the beneficiary home reached and we were all excited about it and our journey of making a difference to them started...........

The smiles on the children's face really melted us and all of us had enjoyed the day with them. Children are fun and innocent that they made us forgot our troubles, sadness, anger etc...I was back to my childhood time , but just that now really don't have the energy to run up and down and repeat the big "Olympic" inflatable for 5 times...hahaha..We had our finale at around 8plus and we sent off our last bus of beneficiary at around 9plus..It was an unforgettable day for LP 79 and all the people who were present in the "Enchanted Wonderland" =)

WE MADE IT , LP 79! WE HAD MADE A DIFFERENCE ON OUR 79TH WOW DAY!

Tired.............

I am really getting tired with some of the things around me....When things are not moving smoothly, does that mean that when you show up , you are the one being blamed and you are suppose to clear the rubbish that is left behind?

Please, I just choose who I want to be but that doesn't mean that I am willing to take the blame for what is not being done by other people..

Army Guys

All the while, I don't have a good impression for army sign-on regulars due to past experience with them... I find that they are a group of guys that don't understand the reality of the world and very hard to communicate....

They will always live in their perfect world that they take things slowly and to them why work so hard..work so hard for what...they won't be appreciated, and also no need to work so hard one..cos by a certain age you will get promoted in certain way...(so good hor...)

They are highly paid and complain a lot...look around those sign-on regulars, most of them do drive a car at young age...If you don't agree to these then I suppose you belong to the minority lor...But guys, I am sorry, most of them do fall into the majority of the above examples lor...

These few weeks, I had been working with some of the army guys and...
They really got no initiative lor...waiting for instructions before things can be done... If not they can just say give up and end of story...just don't care of others and be in their perfect world....Is this how our country is being protected by them?

Hello guys, are you leading your life in this way ??? I thought that I can change the impression of army regulars but really lor...at this moment I only see one that is different lor..You know who you are and please don't fall back to the majority...proud of you ya =)

I always thought that is my belief that army regulars live in their own perfect, wonderful world ..but now I am really doubting is it a fact..cos the experience with them is....haiz..speechless..

Genting & KL Agency Retreat

We had fun and laughter throughout the journey.. Never know tat , Weiye can be fun too..He was one of the joker and he sang in high pitch...hahaha....

Today i finally go to Word Press and explore the possibilties for my online business....

I am learing and using the platform of Word Press as somehow it is an easier way for me to do up a website as I am an IT idiot ( but still..i got stuck for long time)..It really took me effort, pain and sweat to get it done. Of course, with the help of my buddy, things do become smoother...but still learn it through owning it...which means hand on and get it done by myself!!!

I see lot n lot of stars....hahaha..Since this is what I really want to do, therefore no matter how difficult it was, I need to get it done ya...

Cannot Vs Should Not

I got a feedback saying that I got difficulties in saying this word "Cannot"! I will always use "should not" instead. By saying "should not" am I helping the other party to have a backdoor or Am I trying to keep a image of myself ? Why I can't bring myself to say "Cannot" to others?

Cannot = No
By not being honest and say "cannot" , what good will it bring to me ? Am I going to live in the image of "nice" and torture myself to do things or even to avoid things when I don't like, just because I wont use the word "cannot".

What am I scare off? Scare to spoil my image and also being mistaken....How worst can it be? The more is be a bitch in someone's life and being mistaken, being judge... Anyway is not the 1st time being a bitch in someone's life...

I think I should come out with a movie of "No Girl" . hahaha....

• What is the new relationship with "NO" ?
• By saying "NO" does that mean negative impact on you?
• What does "NO" bring to your life?
• Is "NO" really a No-No thing in your life?

Sometimes saying No or Cannot , is the only word that I need to use so that I can get over and get thing done with. =)

I believe

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

I Believe...That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe ... That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself..

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

The Happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything

Seven Pounds

I went to watch the movie "Seven Pounds" on Sunday. It reminded me of an exercise I went through in my Advance Course.

The main lead choose to sacrifice his life and passed "his life" to seven other people that he wants to save. He vote himself to die.

I will vote myself to be alive. By giving out my organs physically, how many lives can I touch? How many organs that I have EQUAL the number of lives being touched. When I am alive, how many people can I actually touch and make a difference ? Is countless....It depend what, when , who, why and how I am going to touch people's life and making a difference in them..

No. of organs u have donated when you die Versus Countless of life you can touch when you are alive, which one will you choose?

Think about it ...there is no right or wrong answer..It only voices down to What you want to create in your life and others' life.

Let us drink!

I had a good quotation to share.. I came across this quotation when I look through the wine menu in one of the pub...

" He who drinks get drunk.

He who gets drunk falls asleep.

He who falls asleep does not sin.

He who does not sin goes to heaven.

So let us drink....and go to Heaven!"

This is a very powerful marketing strategy as this quotation was found at the end of the wine menu and I am one of them that will drop into this "trap" ...hahaha..What about you ?
