its 2008!!

Its 2008!!

this means 2007 has ended and a brand new year is here again..
this means a new yr for new experiences, new dreams, new mistakes, new resolutions (tink i only completed half of my half resolutions last yr..mahahaha)...
this means i should forget the bad experiences, the bad mistakes, the bad decisions that i did and made in 2007...

So what hopes and dreams do i have for the new 2008?

Very simple:

No 1 - just to be happy and fun!!
No 2 - give it my best with no regrets in the things i do..
No 3 - dont be too hard on myself and others.. theres always a limit to wat one can do..
No 4 - Listen..theres always 2 sides to a story...
No 5 - Set aside quality time for family gatherings
No 6 - Set aside quality time for travelling..
No 7 - Listen to more great music.. it smooths the mind..
No 8 - Learn to accept and adjust....
No 9 - Take care of my health, eat properly and workout more.. so that i can fulfill points 1-8

See, its really very very very simple things in life...... sometimes too simple perhaps for some.. but its simple yet challenging.. most of us now try to go for the tops in life and neglect the basics that can make us happy as well..


2008 here i come!!!

Taiwan got Talent!!!

This 蕭敬騰 singer from Taiwan has simply the most magnificent voice... very unique.. so good so that Taiwan pop queen Ah Mei sang a duet with him...

this Song he sang simply will blow ur mind away.. when i finish listening, it makes me want to marry him..muahaha... and thats wat the original cum judge said to him after he finish the song....

wat ever song he does covers makes it sound better then the origanl singer!! espeically for 背叛

The duet will make u fall in love all over again!!

背叛

Life's too short...

After 24 hrs of searching, all 5 bodies of the national dragon boaters are found... nobody will understand the pain the families are facing.. but my heart goes out to them.... this is a tragedy that no one could have see it coming..

No use pointing fingers at whose fault it is for the lives lost are gone forever... we should instead rem them as who they are while they were still alive and let the good memories of them live in us..rather den let the tragedy darken our spirits...

They will always be remember by their families, frens and singapore..

for their spirit, passion in the sport

and for being part of the lives of those they crossed paths with

for leaving a memory behind..

Let us be in silence for 1 min in respect and memory of them....

who is the lucky one??

There seemed to be an increasing trend of younger guys doing some tragic actions when they cannot handle their emotions during a relationship...

Like the ns guy who brought his automatic rifle out of camp.. trying to hunt down his gf?..he could have caused some serious tragedy to the public ... end up kena charge in court... why did he do that? apparently he claim that he cant get over his gf after the ger asked for a breakup.... halo~ how old was he only? 21 lor.. fr the pic he looked quite not bad, shld have no prob looking for a new gf.... is he insecure abt himself? i might be the best person to judge his emotion, but wat he did not only hurt himself physically and mentally.. it affected his family and the ppls around him.. young punk... oh well at least he is still alive, he can still move on with his life.. learn fr his mistake....

He is consider lucky, having 2nd chance for the stupid action he did.. not everyone is as lucky as him...

Recieve an email that someone in the coy passed on.. initially i tot was due to some illness or met with a tragic accident... but after all the others start talking, more or less the conclusion i got was that he ended his life over his gf... though i have not met him myself, it was kinda sad to hear how he chose to end his life... he's only 26....

My colleague then told me this real life story that after hearing very single hair on my body stand.... goospumps all over....

Her husband is an officer(i tink) in the force... one of his recruit, 21 yr old, family quite to do had a gf who was studying overseas at the same time he was serving his ns. Perhaps he was feeling insercure of the long distance relationship, which resulted him wanting his gf to msn, talk and webcam with him almost every day and almost every min... the ger was kinda upset and tried explaining that she has to go for classes and rush for assignments, cant be with him 24-7.. but guess he just couldnt accecpt.

One day the same thing happen, after explaining that she has to go for classes and cant spend time with him, he could have been a little more 'sticky'. the ger said something like if he cant trust her, they might as well break-up. i believe she was just feeling frustrated then she just said it out cuz having to always repeat the same thing over and over again.... the guy, taking it for real that the ger wants to break up with him, said 'you will regret for the rest of ur life'. that was the last sentence he said to her.. after saying he walk to his window and hang himself infront of his gf thru the webcam.. his gf cried and called the house phone, but at that point of time no one was at home.. she kept calling.. but when his parents came home and got to the phone, all was too late..he died...

e ger flew back to attend the wake, she never stopped crying.. she feels guilty that she should not have said those harsh words abt breaking up, but she never meant it.. she still loves him very much...

Was it her fault that led to his death?

I feel that she is then the victim. she witness the whole process of her own bf hanging himself infront of her.. that image will forever haunt her.. pscycologically she is affected for the rest of her life..

Who am i to judge his actions... but i can only say that his life is given bu his parents.. he should cherish it and repay his parents and not ending his life because of such stuff...

His death forever changed his gf and his family's life.. something we will never understand, and i wont want to experience...

He was the better one off.. at least he dont have to live his life in torture of his own action...

Who is the lucky one??

Service Excellence????

busy busy busy...

have been working for some long hours recently but time pass very fast before i know it...

Working in the service industry, ppl tend to ask alot fr u in terms of quality service... especially when they tink that u owe them something because they pay for it... hence in the process you might experience some verbal abuse by them...

i've come to realise that this happens to everyone, including myself.. sometimes when a particular waitress or cashier or service provider did certain gesture that doesnt live up to ur expectations, i'll tend to criticise.. not in front of him or her.. but to the person next to me.. a very bad habit... a very typical singaporean habit... even though i'm in the service industry...

oh well, will singapore ever have top quality customer service fr its ppl??

i tink to truely acheive that is very hard.. everyone shld learn how to truely respect each other before we can achive tat...

everyone shld not be too crtitical and harsh on the critics..

everyone shld not think that the money they pay, the service provider owe it to them...

Oh well, i tink having excellent service islandwide is as hard as wanting the Singapore Soccer Team to get into World Cup by 2010.. how many more yrs to 2010??

Either one is not an easy task that can be acheive over a span of 10yrs with just a verbal promise by so and so......

Hopefully with the IR up and coming perhaps service excellence can be acheive... in one way or another and put our small island on the world map famous for that and not famous for our singlish and our enduarance to queue and eat buffet....

Updates

2nd time i missed laoshi's bday celebration at his place as i'm once again working ... nevertheless, i called up and wished him happy bday...

I've come to learn of a new sport from my bro.. its call Tchoukball, (pronounced at 'chook-ball').
The key difference between Tchoukball and other sports (for example, football) is ethics. In current sports, role-model players fake fouls and do generally whatever they can to give their team the advantage. This is unethical and is not looked upon favourably by the majority of observers. Plus as there is no physical contacts, its safer in a way.. its a combination several games such as volleyball, handball, basketball etc... whicg makes it very fun... and its suitable for all ages... oh well... if i get a chance to try it i'll update more... =)

Oh yeah, after 9 months, i'm back to Kuishinbo last evening... mauahah.. the place just recently under went a renovation... making more seating area for the ever-growing japanese buffet lovers... familar music of " dong dong dong we are Kuishinbo... no 1 authentic japanese buffet restaurant..." some new dishes they tat have such as, oysters, sweet clams, sobert, min chocolate puff, nicer looking sushi makis, dobinmushi etc.... i ate to my heart's content... the last evening is equivalent to my whole day's meal yest and my breakfast today.... ahhahahaha.....

Work has been so far so gd...muahahhaa...
