No TV for TV Worm

Interesting, this TV worm (i.e. me didn't switch on the TV in my room for the last 5 days)...amazed...that means I have not been switching on and watching TV ....i can't believe myself too..... firstly, cos the kids are having their CA2 ...so, was revising with them, where possible. secondly, don't have the mood to watch ...and thirdly, busy preparing for the party .... if i can, will upload some nice photos that we took re "back to school"...suddenly, i was swarmed with requests for photos ...i felt like a celebrity ...maybe, thatz why my dreams, had in a way came true ...haha.....

Cap

Bringing a cap is certainly useful...to me. It helps to shield me from the hot sun, the cold aircon (in a bus, and people I know (but don't feel like meeting that day)...haha
Recently, I bought a red adidas cap and grey/green Nike cap ...for my children use and for myself too...haha...and for a party/dinner I am attending tomorrow nite .... we are going 'back to school'.

Place

Suddenly, I fell in love with this song by Kit Chan ....I guess I heard it at a conference when the school uses this song as the background music to a videoo clip. The power vocals of hers.

There's no place I rather be ...than HOME ...for sure. Work wise, I am still searching and who knows, my current work-home may still be the best place for me.

Elder-ly

I received a letter from MOH and AVIVA ... to inform me regarding ELDERshield...and ask if I wanna opt out.
I let out a BIIIIIGGGGGGG scream....elder -> just becoz I am turning 40....oh no.
That means, there is a possibility that as I age, I may collapse one day or lose the 3 functional abilities some day.
I guess time is running out for me...I must hurry to do what I always wanted to do!

THICK-skinned

I am not THICK-skinned, no wonder I can't fulfill my dreams of being a c......
Anyway, that's life. I have learned to deal with it liao.

Glass is...

...half empty or half full?
Most of us will have read/hear about the above.
It is about how we see things which reflect our mindset.
If it is half empty - that means we may be more pessi ...or we know we can do something to top up the glass.
If it is half full - that means we are more optim...at least we have something to drink...haha
To me, regardless empty or full....more importantly, is to seize the day, capture opportunities and optimise the situation.
It is a beautiful day today...I look forward to beautiful encounters and luck... I will be going out soon.

Further

Just a quick post to let all of you know that I am still a-live...haha
Had been a hectic week for me, thou only 4 days of school...haha
After Tue, 18 Aug, life should be less hectic, I hope.
While I am settling in fine, I am also keeping my options open...
I just found out that pple I know, are progressing in their career/work.
As for me, every work experience for me is a 'gain' and I am sure I will emerge better and stronger.
I believe I can see further - my dreams, my goals ....this is in response to the ND Song this year - What do you see?

A Morbid post

Contents may be offensive to some.... my apologies for this morbid post

Today, 8 Aug morning - My parents and I went to CCK cemetry to make our 'final' prayers to my paternal grandparents who passed away more 30 years ago...yes, one in 1973 and the other in 1977. I may not come across as a filian son or grandson at times....but when it comes to the Qing Ming Festival every year, I will drive my parents and my aunt (in recent years) there to pray to the deceased. I have been the one doing so in the past few years. Infact, it has been a routine that the family since we are young to go and 'sao mu' ...but with time, the no. dwindles ..from over 15 to less than 10 to 8, 7, 6, 5 and now only 4. Today, only 3 of us went.
There was only twice or thrice if I do not recall wrongly that I did not go ...once was when I was doing a temp job and working that Sat/Sun, and another was my wife was carrying our first child ..and perhaps once during my army days?
Well, my grandmother's site is slated for exhumation under Phase 3 which commenced in Oct. My parents and aunties went to choose a nice new house for them at Mandai Columbarium yest....both grandparents will soon be housed together at E3-12-0140 and come next Qing Ming, we will not need to brave the dusty envt and the long queues to go to CCK cemetry.
While we were there today (for the last time), there was hardly others ....and I sighted an exhumation being carried out near my grandmother's grave and my parents were like shouting - don't see don't see....cos, to the chinese, such things can be quite 'negative and sha-qi' if one is not supposed to see....maybe, I am beyond that liao .... what is fated is fated lor....anyway, there was also 2 exhumed coffins covered with blue canvas...I guess they are waiting for the 'right time' to open up and extract the bones of that deceased.
Hopefully, with the new home for my deceased grandparents, more family members will go and visit them ....else, in time to come, nobody will remembers...
That's life -- we are born to this world, we live our life, we depart for the nether world.
As such to me, I really hope to live a meaningful life and live a legacy after I leave. I may not be able to be a superstar or celebrity (which I am still harbouring the dreams) ...I hope that pple will remain my good and not so much of my bad. I really hope that I can do all I want to do and not be in regrets in my dying years....
I am slowly taking steps towards my dreams ...and I sure hope that I can achieve it someday.somehow.

M

M-mad
M-money
M-moment
It has been a mad mad week for me, rushing reports for high abs in classes etc....sometimes, i wonder why i land myself in such stuff ....hahaha....i try to laugh it off so as to feel better.
I am glad that i manage to recover my 'paper loss' in one particular stock that i bought. i sold it this week and got back my capital of $8K. i could have been more patient to make a profit but i didn't cos i am glad to get back my money ....it was so scary when it dipped to only $4K value at its low 2-3 months back.
Yes, I am still waiting patiently for the right moment to come ...
