Boxing Day

How's everyone's boxing day?

The gifts that i received for xmas this year. Thanks everyone who took the effort to get me a present. Not important what did i received but just good enough to know i occupy a little space in my friends' heart. :)

Have you received the present that u really needed? Concern, friendship or pure happiness in general? :)



Yes. U see that sweet little thing My Melody. She is sitting nicely on top of my tv box. haha

Spent morning playing tennis as usual. Just some cam whoring before play started.




As usual, my legs look nicer than my face :(

Merry Xmas......

Merry xmas, to friends, anyone who knows me and most importantly to myself :)

Not exactly a fan of xmas, i dun celebrate at all..more of an excuse to drink and relax.

In any case, was out having Long Beach dinner with my ex teacher and family. Then was off to Vic's place for xmas gathering and alcohol. Was nice spending xmas eve with the bunch of guys.

Merry Xmas. Pictures later ok.

Weekends

3rd weekends without going to partying and i am still feeling good. Doesn't feel the nagging feeling to joining friends and missing the music or drinks. Maybe i really have progressed to a stage that weekends is beyond crazy nights out. A quiet night with mags and dramas will do the trick as well.

Social life became a tad smaller and i miss my friends as well, but maybe cutting down a bit is good as well. No problem.

Dun worry, partying will still be a part of my life, just not as big as before i guess :)

No Good

Down with sickness. :(

Pills that i have to take to combat the virus in my body



The cockster who looked so shagged after a day of fever, running to toilet and without any food

Registered......

Men's Health Urbanathlon that is. 31 Jan 2009. 12.5km run in town with 7 obstacles. (machiam like army's SOC).

Another thing to look forward to and start training for. Any siao on people wants to join me?

:)))

Exam, cut hair

Today was my CFA Level 1 exam. Morning paper was ok, but afternoon paper was killer. Basically questions were tough, with a lot of complex calculations, so not enough time to do. So chances of passing is not high.

Spent the last 3 days mugging all the notes, still not enough. Just reminds me of my uni days, which is kind of nice as well. Just worry about the grades, formulas and bitching with friends about the questions and slapping forehead when we realise our answers were wrong.

That aside, relieved that paper is over and i get on with my life for a while.

So the first thing i did was.......

to snip off my quite-long-but-that-long hair

hope i look better now :)

Just when you thought stock market is crazy......

In my line of work, i often encounter crazy things. Countries competing for the tallest building in the world, competing to build the world's biggest mall or u see the share price of a totally insolvent company rising right before your eyes. Crazy, yes it is. Not the craziest things that has happened, i only came to realisation recently.

Humans are more irrational. Fighting over a seat, or arguing over someone who is totally not relevant in our life (and i am not even talking about fighting over for a boyfriend). Or getting angry over some small actions.

From how i see it, it is just how we perceive things. A told B that he(A) is using a 2G Ifone but B insisted that A is actually using 3GS Ifone and pointed out harshly that the whole world is using 3GS Ifone except A. Worse of all, A doesn't believe that 3GS now comes with wifi function and B tells A that as well. Both get upset end of the day. (Note that i am not stating my stand whether it is 2G or 3GS)

Confusing? yeah, i reckon. End of the day, does it matter the fone is 2G or 3GS? Maybe it does, why do we have to force A or B to accept each other's reasoning?

It is very easy to wallow in anger or self pity. U can wallow in self pity or anger that your mobile operator is not upgrading you to a new 3GS or friends get upset over things you dun agree with.

You can think you are the world's saddest person on earth because things are against you and most likely you are angry with yourself, mobile operator and perhaps the whole world as well.

Dun think it needs to be the case. There are times when i feel shit as well, most pathetic person surviving. Am i exactly that? Not so.

I just think of the old auntie who collects cardboards or cans at my estate. or anyone who struggles with life on a daily basis. I actually feel that these guys are so much stronger than me mentally, giving me absolutely no right to feel pissed about the world, or people in general.

Are these guys angry that circumstances are against them or wish they are living in comfortable environment? i am sure some of them would be, but they never give up or hang up the boots. They are doing what they can to survive or for a better life.

Let's just be glad that we have a healthy body, a job that pays relatively well and we are not living from day to day. We just lack the courage to step back and look at the whole situation with a sense of gratitude and a sense of aloof perhaps. Our problem or argument will look so minute in retrospective.
