There are a few things that I need to do but I've been procrastinating. No more excuses. Need to clean and re-organise my room and clear out my wardrobe. rawrs. Maybe I should do a before and after photo hmmmm

Slowly, but surely. Starts now. Better late than never eh? :D

SIA Air Steward Interview on the 8th May. Pretty nervous but I'm confident. :D

of a reminder

I love to win but sometimes, I just forget to have fun.

One day I would want to hire someone to do just one thing.

To remind me by whispering to my ear everytime I do something.

"Have fun"

Anyways, was looking thru photos in my harddisk and found this. That was 2 years ago, when they were sec 2. Wondering how are they now. :D

of being great

Just exactly one year ago, I laid down on my bed in Brunei with a bleeding heart and shin.


In the midst of my duty in camp, walking from one company to another, I recalled a few moments back in Brunei.

The moment I teared infront of everyone in the rover.
The moment I yelled in pain when the medic applied iodine to my wound.
The moment I wrote the encouraging letter for my team to go on without me.
The moment I was all alone in the bunk for 6 days, waiting for their arrival from JCC.

It was painful. It was tear jerking.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Many have asked me this. Too many in fact.
"Sir, why never sign on? You so fit and hardworking, sure can go far"

My reply? "Haha yeah, I thought about it but I feel that something great out there is waiting for me, thanks for the compliment tho"

I agree. Stable job & income. But really, I cannot escape this gut feeling that something great out there is waiting for me. I have a roadmap planned out for my life and i'll stick with my principles and beliefs. I know I must do one thing. Just one thing.

I have to be great.

of a dedicated post to Comd

I approached him and with all my sincerity, I gave a firm handshake and said "Thank you for everything, sir"

"I hope you have learned something"

We exchanged wide smiles. As I walked away, I mumbled to myself, "Most definitely."

He is by far the best mentor/boss I have worked with. Well, he isn't really my boss, more like a big boss to me. A patient yet inspiring leader, I will miss working together with him. By just looking and observing on how he communicates and listens, his actions alone have inspired me to whole new level. I really admire his endless energy, quick thinking and patience. It was he, the humble and avid-adventurer Colonel, who made me realised that my work here had a greater purpose which always push me further whenever I'm down and worn-out. His story of conquering Mt. Everest and reaching the south pole with his worn out ankles is still very inspiring to hear.

His favourite phrase to me, "Not scolding you ah, this is a learning process ok."

His guidance had always make me reflect on my own leadership skills. This is why leaders aren't born.

They are groomed.

Thank you again, COL Ang Yau Choon.

of that moment

Do you know that everytime you're near,
everybody else seems so far away.

So can you come and make them disappear,
make them disappear and we can stay.

of a dream

I was on my bed fer almost the whole day on Friday, loving every moment of it. With my left hand hugging my pillow and my right over my head, I said something to myself.

"I'll be a successful man one day, with a beautiful wife and kids."

I sat up, smiled and there I was, back to reality...

hooray.
