Sick

What will be your reaction when u see blood flowing out from your nose and then the next moment, you have blood in your plegm and headache? hmm.. sounds like having a terminal head disease and the days are numbered... well, i do have all these syptoms except that there aint no tumor growing in my brain.

Went to see the doc yest and he told me that i am just feeling heaty. The reason for the bleeding was because there has been an viral infection in my throat and nosal. So I must count myself lucky. Initially, i didnt want to check cos I thought that it was just a normal thing. But then my mum kept nagging at me and said that maybe got high blood pressure and blar blar... and guess wat my doc said? "you have a normal blood pressure and is within the healthy range" =)

anyway, i listened to sunshine and borrowed the I do I do vcd (cos she asked me to and she said it reminds of me) well, it does in certain ways..=) this movie is kinda funny and nice... thanks dear.

will be taking the train ride later..its going to be a special one cos this will be the first time that i will be sitting in the driver's seat. (wont be driving thought) hahahaha...

EVA

Looking at financial statements sounds a bit dragful and boring to some people out there. But to me, after today, I kinda of enjoy doing it. =) From the balance sheet to the P and L and then to the Cash flow, I can use ratios and financial instruments to calculate the performance level of any company. =) One of the most enjoyable instrument that i am currently using is EVA.

One of the task that I was given in my first few weeks of internship is to study a 70 page manual on eva and write a summary on it. It was tedious initially and even after finishing the report in a week, I still don't really know how to use it. The only time that I know how to use it was when my boss ask me to tabulate the figures using real life statements. =) It is really fun and I believe that I will be proficiency in it after a few more rounds. =)

Anyway, I just realise that upon graduation, a normal grad will be earning less than 2k.. oh no!!! That is sooo little. How am I going to live with a salary of 2k!!!! =((((((((

Tired

The past few days have been very tiring... will blog tml when I am back in the office..=)))) Just a summary, my day has been good and its all because of God's blessings on me...=)

Why do couples quarrel?

Felt a strong urge to blog yesterday but was very tired when I got home. Hence I decide to take a little time off from my work now and write what and how I was feeling yesterday.

Why do couples quarrel? I mean after all the hard chasing and wooing of the girls, don't guys treasure the girls more? I think that its often miscommunications and expectations of the opposite party that will lead to misunderstanding. Couples should treasure one another more. It is not by any sheer chance that they can get together. To me, it's often through fate and destiny that both will be happily together. Hence I feel that we should value one another more and always try to compromise with one another. Then I think the relationship will last even more and maybe better. When I see my couple friends quarreling, I will think about myself. I seriously think that humans are designed in a way that we use emotions to think first rather than head. I for myself falls in this category too. Hence this often leads to many misunderstandings between me and her.

I saw my friend getting a little angry with his gf yesterday and when he saw her, he gave a very piss look. They were suppose to meet at a certain place but at the last minute, his gf changed the venue. U might think that well, his gf was at fault but then, I think that we should look at the situation first. Firstly, I think its alright to change the venue ( she told him before he left his house ), hence I dont find it a problem. Secondly, the reason she changed it was because she bought a gift for him and wanted to surprise him. Now, u see, guys always get upset over little things (me included). And when my friend knew that his gf was actually planning a surprise, he looked at her and smile and apologise. Haiyooo, relationships are such a funny thing.

The reason that I am actually writing this down is because this situation happened to me before. Sunshine wanted to give me a surprise and I waited for a very long long time. I was a little upset with her too cos I really didnt know about it. But then when I knew that she was planning to buy something for me ( without me knowing initially ), I felt bad. REally bad for getting a little angry with her. For that, I want to apologise to her and hope she knows about it. =)

Alrighty, back to work again.....

Happy Bday

Happy Bday Eddy....
Hope that as you grow older, you will grow wiser.

Today, I went to some places that brought me great memories. There was this dark building near bugis.. a very tall one and it stands in the middle of the crossway.. She splash water on me and we were playing. Feeling of love got back once more as I drove past this building. Next was Teka mall. =) Bet she remembers the late late supper that we always had. And of course the marketing at sheng siong. =)

hai, i am missing her again. Got her mail today and it was sweet of her to sing me another bday song. =)

Reflections

Today is my special day and i just want to recap what i have actually achieved and done for the past few years that are worth talking about...

Being heavily involved in Samba Masala is my greatest joy so far. I was given the honour to lead this amazing club. Founded by a few of us, I was given the opportunity to become the first president. I really appreciate all the friendship that was bond during performances and training. The support that each individual gave me was fantastic too. Addition to this, I was blessed once again to received an award and this is my first time receiving a big big award. Thanks God and everyone. =)

Friends enter your life in such an amazing way. TW is considered one of my closest buddy in university. He helped and advise me when I was seriously down. Rushing from the east all the way to the west, he didn't complained about cost of the cab fare and still showed me all the concern that I really needed at the point of time. Moreover, he is also my Samba buddy and we played almost all the gigs together. I am really suprised how close we actually become. Thanks TW and I hope that you can continue to know the Lord..... Sister Sister is another closest friend I have. She always listens to me when I am sad and often understands the situation that I am in. I really want to thank her for lending me her ear almost everyweek. She is really my good old Sister in Christ. Thanks Serah... Hope that you will also continue to remain faithful to God. I have another friend that I really want to mention. Thought I have not seen her as much as before, I know that we still have a close friendship that knitted as liked before. =) Remember JM, if you need my help or wat, just give me a call k.. yes both of us are busy busy ppl but I will find time for u if u need me.. hehe.. we can go shopping again with Reddy..=) lOve ya all...

Finally, a girl, a special one.... She opened my horizons to a much higher level in such a short 2 years. I really really appreciate her a lot. Much that we often have problems of certain issues, the memories that I had with her often stayed with me. I really really miss her a lot and I hope she knows. But then, I don't know why we are always down. =((((((( There are far too much complicated stuff to settle and when such things are concerned, I suck at it. I know I do.. I can't help myself but always get myself sad.. and then somehow or another, she will get affected. I dont want to hurt her but I don't know how too.. hai.... as of now, we can't meet each other because she is not in singapore. And when she is back, I won't be in spore. Which means that the only time we can meet will be in 2006....=( sigh..... I hope when we meet, we can settle our issues and yap, hope that things will be much more better.... that maybe I can be more understanding (I pray I do ) and that maybe I can .............

Alrighty, all this are just feelings that are contained within me now.. I pray that the Lord will help me for the many more years to come. Thanks God for taking good care of me for the past 23 years. Old already and I hope I can achieve more with God's blessing.

Below are the things that I wish I can achieve when my next Bday comes.
  1. Internship in China or Thailand
  2. Lead an expedition team
  3. Love God even more
  4. Be more sensitive towards someone
  5. Travel either in (china, hk, taiwan, macau) or (vietnam, cambodia, laos)
  6. Have someone that I can care for...

Thats all ed... good luck to u and be happy always.. there are much more things in life for u to achieve and see.. and there are good friends out there that are constantly giving u support and all the love that u need. =)
