So Glad Pst preached this. I guess buddhism , daoism aren't really the authentic chinese religion when it started only 5 to 6 BC. The chinese worship Shangdi way before that. Thanks to Myrna for sending me the link! Enjoy!

Bored

Totally not in the mood for FYP or work, think I am in the CNY mood still.Anyone got fun place to suggest?

Left 4 Dead

Went to play Left 4 Dead just now. It sure is tiring to sit inside a lan shop for about 3.5hrs doing nothing but just game. It is quite fun. But seriously, i think after i board the train, i don't feel like playing anymore. LOL. It is just me. I prefer something with tangible value. Perhaps that is the reason i am attracted to Wii Fit, cos i can exercise at the same time. I feel like the 3 hrs is not well spent. I feel this is a strong indication that i am a geek.


Having to organise a celebration is so hard. Thinking what to do on my bday is so hard. haiyo.I guess i will go for lesson, i think i will.

Tired.

Library

Time check :8.35pm
Song: Hillsong- You Deserve

Currently in Biz lib doing my simulations while waiting for leona with myrna and raphael. This is sickening. Feel like i haven't really enjoy chinese new year. My arm is still aching from Wii Tennis and Boxing. Wii Fit is really effective man. hahaha...it can really make u fit if u practise on it. I was perspiring at Sean's house after trying to break his record..hahaha...


After doing some work, i like to listen to some woship song. I feel so recharged and strengthened by the presence of God. I find energy to go on.

In about 3 months time, i will be graduating!!!

*Freeze*

Should i shout "Finally!" or should i say " So fast?!"

Met up some of my JC friends and teachers today. Some of them got married, some have started working, some have already disappeared( overseas or not in contact with any of us). It is amazing how we look now and then and the differences in the thinkings. Changes are always taking place and sometimes I can't help but feel daunted by it. As i embark onto the next stage of life, i began to think of my next step to take. What does God wants me to do? Somewhat i got a desire to shine in the marketplace, i can't say for sure i will. I have been looking for ideas and stuff but the future is alway full of unknowns. Life will be very sad if we somehow lose the meaning behind everything we do. What is the pt we are trying to live out? What is the ultimate aim of doing what you have been doing all along?



Time is short, live for yourself? live for others? live for the future? leave behind legacy? live like what others are supposely living?


Knowing my purpose have never been more important!

You Deserve - Hillsong United

Yes, I won and that's me.

Happy Niu year!!!!

Happy Niu year!

Yet again time has passed sooooo quickly and it is another year now. I will be turning 25 in less than 2 weeks time!

Unlike previous chinese new year, this year i made a resolution and i really hope it comes to pass asap! I really hope everything will turn out fine!

jus came back from my Uncle's place and will be heading off to some relatives' place. As usual, I expect to be home like 12 plus?! haha...

Everyone Gong Xi Fai Cai!!

Sick

Don't know why recently I have been sooo tired. Was on Raphael's car to cg when i totally KO. yesterday morning i woke up late also. The day before i just KO in the library. Today i woke up feeling really tired all over the body. It is really strange. I think i really rested enough. Funny.

Been exposure to so much business methods for the last few days, perhaps it is time to sit down and brainstorm. The 3 most important things about setting business are the passion you need to have, the customers must be available and the risk you need to know you are taking. Like everything in life, risk is alway involved. No matter how well you calculate mathematically, there is alway uncertainty present.

Though it is Chinese new year soon,there are quite a few things on my mind. Been praying for direction and peace. But " good things in life never come easily" so i guess i just have to take my time. As i look back, i realised that either i have grown to be more patient or more indifference. Hopefully it is the first case...

Lamentation

I have this friend. I know you read this so I wanna appreciate you for being a listening ear. HAHA.

Whenever I have some troubles or feel like complaining to someone, that person alway comes to my mind. Perhaps is the agenda, we kinda can talk and complain about anything. Like how she will complain how insensitive of her friend to go out one on one with her ex and brag about it or how i will complain to her about certain things i can't tell anyone. Not to say all these are secrets but sometimes people come to us with agendas, no matter who there. There are many things i can't say to the people around me and i am glad i can talk to her.

Perhaps she is a girl, i can relate to her better in terms of relationship stuff. Sometime when the urge comes, we will go shopping and stuff. She is really like a good friend that God has given to me.

This few days I have been very provoked by certain ppl around me. Very. I can't take it when they keep saying i am picky that's why i am single and blah blah blah. Yes it might sound childish around here but i do want to make things clear. IT IS NOT ABOUT ME!

If you want to avoid some direct straight facts, you can stop reading from this point on.


Do you have any idea that being a christian means you should get a partner that is of the same faith? Yes you should try. It is strong encouraged. Of course being a christian, I want to do it because of obeying God's words.

Now, that wipe out half the girl population i know. In fact only about 30 to 40 % of the girls i know are christians. That's 4 out of 10 left.

Given that 40%, i need to choose someone of equal yoke. To put it in laymen terms, someone as on as you when it comes to God. Like any company or organisation, we do have different positions in church. I am not in any leadership position and stuff, though it is not a necessity to be of equal "standing" but it do feel abit weird to have ur gf or wife of higher "rank" than you.


Cast that aside, as we want to honour the leaders in church, we do want to account to them when it comes to relationship and stuff. Especially when it comes to leadership position, you should and are encouraged to tell your pastor.


OOOOO before i forget, out of that remaining %, there are some already attached!


Am i trying to say i wanna forgo abidding in God's word? NO.

I just wanna tell you, you , you , you and you that i am already tired of the "system" i have to go thru just to get a partner. I am certainly not keen or enthu to go thru the process unless i am VERY sure, not to mention that anyone can see that the remaining % is VERY LOW.

Am i despo? CERTAINLY NO.

Am i pissed at the comments? CERTAINLY!!!!!


Please, let me have a good chinese new year. Don't use the word picky on me anymore.

Just don't push me off the edge anymore.

my idol

Today was window shopping day. Wanna check out the vest at bugis street, really CMI. I must agree with Raine, Topman one is sooo much better but it is sooo much more ex!! $87 for a piece of cloth?! Too much for me to bear, plus it is BF period. Tight.

We happen to walk pass 77th street and i just took a glance and it has been a while since i step in. Memories started to flood about the past encounters i had with Elim chew.The founder of 77th street, Elim chew is one of the few person that really change my life. I rem when i was in children church serving, she came a few times to give talks to the kids. As all of us know, she is a really busy person. She got businesses everywhere, like singapore(14 outlets) and china etc..yet she makes time to go church on sun ( at least during JW i see her every sun) and she makes time to impact the youth.

A large part of who I am can be attributed to her. Often than not she will talk about how busy her typical day is and how she still makes time to travel to those poor countries to help fund kids and children to school. During the Q & A session, the kids will ask her how she got so much energy and what drives her. I particularly remember one session where the kids ask her how old is she and how come she is not married and why she work so hard( opssss), she replied,

" When i was young, i came from a poor family. My sis and i got to work and fend for ourselves. As i grow up, i began to want to help people.But I realised that in this world, money talks.Everything needs money. With money i can help alot of people. Then I began to work very hard, because i want to help alot of people. I want to impact the society."

I was very impacted by what she say. I rem it was during the end of my year 1 and my results at that time were not good. I began to pray and ask God for directions. I look at myself and wonder how can i ever change society if i am just a normal average person?! Then and there, i sort of have a transformed mindset. People like Isaac said i became crazy about school, but in my opinion, i became super focused. I pushed my standard all the way up. In whatever i do, i try my best to have the spirit of excellence.

After 3 years, I am pretty much the same guy but with a new mindset. I hope ( not trying to sound impressive) eventually I can be a mover of society, in the marketplace. Because I know and I know that you can say whatever you want and do whatever you want to do but If you hold no power, wealth or knowledge, you can't change anything. A.R. Bernard once said that these 3 things are the shapers of society, but Wealth is the most powerful one. I really hope that one day I can be a social entrepreneur. One that is powerul and influential and yet able to contribute to that society.

Thorn in the flesh

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Cor. 12:7-10)

Once again , the shadow of this thorn has come to haunt. In my heart I am just sick of having to deal with this matter again. I guess sometimes a bad mistake can let you see alot of things, I am definitely not perfect but I am trying. I don't see the point having to repeat the same story over and over again. I guess i take comfort when people has come and warn me of him, i guess "the stone will reveal itself when the water level fall"( Chinese).

I shall overcome it in the name of Jesus. Then again, if "that" happens, i must indirectly thank him for making such thing possible. Like what someone told me, somethings there is no right or wrong, it just can't be helped.

Like i always said,

Time is best indicator of the truth.

Thank God I found you

Phew just finished packing my room, clearing tons of old new clothes. I really think some of them are quite nice...just that some i no longer fit into them. Perhaps i can sell them at some second hand bazaar. I think i have about 30 to 40 pieces i can sell..Anyone keen to combine your old new clothes? Preferably a girl. Then we can attract both side of the crowd.

Did a short workout...waiting to cool off before heading to bath and have my reunion dinner with my paternal side relative. It is more like a reunion lunch. Likely will head off to get new year goodies and deco.

Pretty happy with my long sleeves shirt from river island and Buffalo. Got a a pair of jean from river island too. Thank God they are on 70% discount. Guess i will get maybe one more pair of pants and a red shirt? budget is tight...likely will scout bugis street for low budget stuff.

Lovely song. Used to listen a few years back.

Thank God i found you!

EQ

I have 43 mins before my simulations finish running and i can head off to bed.

Kinda of bored and decided to write down something on EQ.

EQ = Emotional Quotient, measures the ability of your brain to understand and feel emotions, both personal and others. It is definitely as important as IQ, because IQ gives u the understanding of facts but EQ makes more than "yes and no". It teaches you how to live with human. People often forget the importance of EQ. Have you wonder why certain people don't come close to you? Even though you are sure that you didn't do anything wrong( or thought you din)?

I recalled when i was young and still a childish kid, my EQ is very low. Often people will tell me that they are my friends yet they don't ask me out. When i call them, they respond very coldly. I guess they must have despise my chubby figure but yet i never realised this till much later. People are not like facts, one needs to know and be sensitive to other's actions , reactions and speech. Look into the "mirror" everyday, ask yourself what YOU ,yes not THEM, that needs to change. I thank God that "mirror" i have , that is the Holy spirit and Bible that tells me each time i am unsure.



As i grew older, my sensitivity towards thing heighten. Many Small Simple things are the best indicators of the Big overall pictures. How a person respond to me on msn, his/her attitude and how he looks at me, how she much she talk to me all indicate something in one way or another. Emotions are DEFINITELY NOT expressed by words alone. Rem action speaks louder than words. People don't care how much you know/ or can tell them, unless they know how much you care for them.


ARGHHH my simulation just crashed again?!!!!ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Slacking

Right now i am slacking at centre library, waiting for the reply from the troubleshooting department. My program kept crashing. 60% of the time i am trying to troubleshoot the program, makes me wonder where is the supposedly the world class system. It really gets frustrating.

Someone told me he is excited about my birthday party?! mmm...perhaps because i wanna have a diff-from-norm party. People suggested beach party, theme parties, copy-Titus party..etc...


I think the most important aspect of my party is for people to enjoy. Because the common feedback i got from people is that they don't enjoy other people's party. If i can, i would want to make it a party that people would enjoy the whole process. If i could, i would want to make it into a one day holiday for everyone.



Anyway, i realised one thing about myself over the last week.

I am as timid as a hamster.

I was praying , then somehow God gave me revelation of the power of being Bold. Boldness opens u to many new doors just because you dare to lift your head and look into the unknown. David is a teenager full of boldness when he kill goliath. Even when Caleb and Joshua came back with the good report, they are full of boldness and faith. Giant or not, Grasshoppers or not, the land is ours for the taking! I realised that Boldness comes from the confidence in God and faith of the greatness. I need to become more bold!



Somehow the topic of my birthday has alway lead to the question of whether i am attached. I guess one important thing is that Different mindsets can make it hard for two people to be together eventually. And it is not easy to find someone with the same flow and sad to say , i believe that my thoughts are very different from normal guys. Call me weird or morbid, if you know me well, you will realised that the way i think is very different. Somehow my mindmapping is done differently. Perhaps that's the reason why many of my school mates think i will not get married or even into relationship till i am 30 plus.


Reply my email pls!!!!!!

Miracles

Had a pretty good time at Sentosa today. After meeting my Prof and having a fruitful half an hour talk(FINALLY), I head to vivo to get my Sun tanning lotions and some miscellaneous stuff before heading to Sentosa on my own! First time trying that.


Headed to Palawan Beach and lay down on the beach bed and coat myself with layers of Sun tanning oil. Too bad the sun is way too little cos of the cloudy. Ordered a beer and enjoy some personal time with myself.

I fell asleep eventually, must be because of the beer and woke up to this song playing at the background. Kinda reminded myself of some stuff from the past. Nice song!


After which, Laoniang and Raphael and Raine came and we headed to town to fellowship. It was an interesting time where i realised that a guy's butt is actually the centre of attraction for girl?! HAHA..it was fun knowing more about how girls actually evaluate guys.


Some pictures i took using my hp.

Chaos Theory

Today went for my first financial Accounting and Uncertainty lesson and i am like so "motivated" to study now. FNA is mostly dry stuff, teaching u the terms and how to understand them, i guess it will be useful when i wanna do investment next time. Then again, i might be too busy to do so. Uncertainty is diff, i never think so hard during lesson. The lesson touches on Chao theory.

A sample question was asked.

An Aids test kit have 99% accuracy in testing whether a person have Aids.If we were to take a random person on the street and test , what are the chances that that person don have Aids?

Do post your answer on the tagbaord.



Tml i am goig sentosa! finally can get my tan!! time to relac also. Sick of FYP. Shall head off once i meet my prof! Finally get to see his face.



keep smiling!

John Bevere

He TOTALLY brings the house down!! Can't wait for tml's service! shall update more tml!!

Can't wait!

Expectation

Today had another mind-blowing entreprenuership talk by the ex VP of JP Morgan about investing money and how emotions really get the best of you. What he mentioned about the 2 dominating emotions namely Fear and Greed is sooo true. Because of this 2 emotions, we tend to be swayed when it comes to money. Our brain are also trained to recognise certain pattern, like say linear but not exponential. For exmaple,if i give 3 apple a day, you can easily tell me how many apple u get at the end of 20 days. But if i give u 2 apple on the first than then 4 apple then 8 apple and so on and so for , you will find it hard to tell me the answer even it is for 10 days!

Often than not, what we see is based on what we expect to see. He clearly illustrate it with an example. Everyone must have seen FEDEX logo at least 10 times in our lives. Can you tell me what is in the logo other than the 5 letters?

How about now?


Yes , it is the arrow! It is there before and after yet many of us fail to see it. It is because we don't expect it to be anything more than the 5 letters , so we choose not to expect to see anything other than 5 letters!

This is soo real in terms of many aspect of life, think about relationship. I recall back at all the arguments i had with my friends and most if not all came bacause we choose not to see from other's point of view. We either overestimate our abilities or underestimates others , in any case , we fail to see and believe what is there.



In Romans 12:2 it says,

And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

I like the basic english version:

And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God


I guess our "expectations and image" of how we choose to see God is soo important. If we expect nothing and believe nothing in God, we will choose to see and get nothing. Does that mean He is not in existence? Definitely not. Because i have choose and EXPECT the best from Him, BELIEVING all His Promises are true , I have choose to run the race with Him. Even when i fall and stumble, i must keep reminding myself that seeing is not believing!

In Heb 12:1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.


Press on!!!

Wondering what are you busy with...:>

Mesh faster!!

These few days i have been trying to mesh my model using Gambit and simulate using Fluent. I must say the server really suck! Firstly the space they gave us is 4G, it might sound alot but each data file ( which contain all the results) is about .5 to 1G! mine is considered little, some even more! it is abit lame to provide such little space when we need so much memory for each run right? I have counted, for every 4 times i run the simulation, it crashes about 3.5 times! Can u imagine my agony?! i don noe is it because my modeling is too siong but when u wanna literate 100 times and after 1hr and 99 literations and it crash, u wanna slam the comp onto the wall!!

Now this is only the method, Thank God for SVU lab tech who is willingly to help me but i could see my problems are starting to irritate him cos i email him on average 3 times a day. Next up is the steps to take, WHERE ARE YOU KS YEO?! i need to find u and ask u what to do!! 3 weeks and no sound no colour again :< I seriously feel i am like a PHD student, who do everything according to what he wants, the prof come in when he needs some opinions. At times i feel i am doing a self proposed project!



Hiaz, enough of negativity. Like what they alway say, God never put you through something you can't overcome. I will overcome this with a positive attitude. Life sucks sometimes, what matter most is that your attitude don't! I take this "freedom" i have to expand my creativity. I want to prove to myself i can do it!!! Roar!!


It doesn't matter when life overwhelms you, Know greater is He who is in you than he who is it the world!!!!

What is the point i want to prove

Today marks the first of the three days of entrepreneur workshop i am going to attend for my TIP course. I must say i am really inspired! The two speakers for today really give me some insight to how successful companies model their business and how they stand out in the industry.

One particular point made by the second speaker struck me. He mentioned that people often do well and excel because they have a point to prove.Like how singapore prove to our former brother nation we can survive by ourself, how taiwan prove to china they can do well, how HK prove to china and England they are something and how south korea wants to prove they are different from their neighbour.It really struck me because I realise that I work so hard to prove a point.What point do i have to prove? :>


The factor what ultimately push a person near or beyond his normal best performance is usually when u have something to prove or u can afford to lose. Cut the backdoor and u will give ur best shot. Fighting for a cause is alway the best motivator in whatever we do. Lance armstrong is perhap best example. He got everything to prove. To prove to himself he can overcome cancer, to prove that he can become champion once again, to prove to others he did it by himself and not through drugs.



As my Uni life approaches the end, i have been asking myself and praying about the next step to take. Now i have proven to myself that i can do well in school despite my background, what point do i want to prove? What is my life heading towards? If there is one point i want to prove to the world, how and what would that be?

What is the point i want to prove?

attached

In one week's time, two of my female friends got attached! Congrats!

Looking at them reminds me of the past when i got attached! The excitment! The joy! The expectation of good things to come! The Experience that is to come!

*Jump up and pump my fist*

Then as i recall, all the "not so pleasant yet impt* experiences started to flood my mind. A relationship is not easy because of the differences that oen have to overcome and get used to. Changes have to be made. But at the end of the day, promise of greater joy, support and someone to pour your heart to makes it all worth it.

Thinking back, i think i was attached 6 to 7 times. Out of which only 2 of them are serious.I got to admit, some of which were because the girl like me and i just went ahead. Needless to say, it will not last.


Now being older and wiser, my expectation of love is not longer as before(of cos!). No longer do i look for excitment , thrill or fun. What matters most is substainability. I look for the one that i know i will love for life long. Can i promise that? no! but i do what i can and God will do the rest.Does that mean excitment, thrill and fun cannot exist? definitely not, it jus means they become part and parcel of the relatiosnhip.


Spiderman once said "With greater power, comes greater responsibilities".
I said " with greater attraction, comes greater temptation." Everyone goes through a certain degree of temptation while in a relationship. I guess the one thing i learn is that both party have to keep each other strong. I rem one relationship of mine lasted long despite temptation because my ex kept me strong by meeting me regularly and display her affection. In a relationship, it takes two to chacha.



keep smiling!

说好的幸福

你的回话凌乱着
在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽
甜蜜散落了

情绪莫名的拉扯
我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱着歌
假装没事了

时间过了走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
离开时的不快乐
你用卡片手写着
有些爱只给到这
真的痛了

怎么了你累了
说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了
爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数着
你再不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻
我都还记得

你不等了
说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了
放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着
要怎么停呢

Tell me how you feel. :>

*wiping away my cold sweat*

Simulation not stimulation!

Woke up pretty late this morning and decided that i should do some of FYP.

FYP is really tough. After learning fluent and gambit, it is coming up wth the shape that is causing me headaches. I must be more Creative and come up with new ideas!I must say this project is not really brain stimulating.All i do is simulation which is pretty boring. Got to pull thru!

Finally, final sem.

As of now, i should be taking a stats mod which can be count as an arts gem and FNA.The thing is the exam dates are 13 days apart! sounds like last sem!


Hiaz. Sian. Com centre com can't take my simulations!

Back!!

Phew I'm finally back!!

After 4 days and 3 nights in KL, everything here feels funny. Nah, i'm ain't talking about the place, i'm talking about the "feel" of the ppl around me.Perhaps i have been cut off from the "world". Shall not elaborate on!


Anyway, the 4 days have been eating, shoppin, movies and eating, shopping movies all over again! We went to quite alot of shoppin centres and the whole place felt like singapore!! i guess other than the hotel room, the money we use, he language we speak and the surrounding building, everything felt like singapore!! i guess it is jus like i went to stay in any hotel along orchard road and go shopping along there!!haha..But i must say that i really rested and took my mind to think over alot of stuff.


My loot wasn't alot mainly because the stuff there are pretty much the same as Singapore and cost as much. I got 2 tee and a pair of shoe, the rest are presents so i guess it is pretty ok. We ate pretty good stuff for the last few days! The best thing is that there is a nice gym and swimming pool in our hotel! we went to work out almost every morning and went swimming!! ahaha...


All in all , the trip is a well deserved rest for me! now...


it is back to fyp!
