Time is traded like a currency, without us knowing. We trade time for leisure, for money, for doing things, work etc. Everyone has the same amount of time and it's up to us to trade for whatever we want.

The past weekend had been quite terrible. And I finally see the true colours of my manager. What can be so despicable than to prey on the leads of your subordinates? Instead of helping us and guiding us, he'll offer to help us, in exchange for 50% of the commission. He is already paid an over riding as our manager and he still wants to eat the food on our table!

Seeing how he make use of another fellow colleague, treating her like his assistant when she is a property agent. And bragging to everyone that she is his assistant only makes me despise him more.

He "team" up with his subordinates and ask them to distribute flyers, prepare presentation and do all the hard work while he did nothing and only go down to do the closing and yet dare to ask for 50% of the commission! He did notgo out to find leads but instead preying on his subordinate's leads for his own use. Well, and I believe his very own manager does the same thing...

Luckily till now I refuse to team up with him or accept any of his "help" yet. Once he "help" u, he'll want something out of it.

Somehow I feel that the younger generations jump to conclusion too fast, too defensive, and too idealistic, too hot tempered. Not saying that they're wrong. We were once like them too. Perhaps after some time in the society, after getting "bua", we do change. The way we think changes. The way we react changes.

Forgiveness is hardly seen these days. It's either u die or I die scenario. Whoever offended them will be cursed and swear, and perhaps plotting some kind of revenge. Or is it the ego thing?

Sometimes, a life of luxury brings the worst in people.

Arrow goes forward after pulling in to backwards. Bullet goes forward only after pressing the trigger backward. Every human will get happy only after facing the difficulties in their life path.

I started wearing rubber bands. Introducing it to my body system. Starting with a mere 10 mins a day, I'll slowly increase the duration until I can overcome the allergy.

Sometimes, the best way to help a person is to let go and let them fall. Let what Daniel said, " Sometimes if we know something is bad and tell ur fren, they may not appreciate it and it may affect the frenship between the both of u. So it is better for u to let them go, experience the fall, and then u go and console them. In this way, the frenship strengthen".

The human nature, we like to listen to what we want to hear. When we are negative, we would tend to mix around with negative people, cos they are in sync with us. They say the same language as us. We say things like "I can't", "the economy is bad", "the sky is falling", "everyone is against me" etc etc etc". And when a positive person comes along and inject us with positive thoughts, we'll brush them away.

We set our own reality. We believe what we want to believe in. The same newspaper, read by different person, will have 2 different viewpoints. The one who thinks the economy is bad will look for all the news to support his stand. And the one who thinks the economy is good will look for all the news to support his stand. And when this 2 person sit down to discuss, they may end up arguing with each other.

Everything is neutral, just that we label it as right or wrong. We're all too engross into the right and wrong. Is it really that important? In schools, when we're right, we get the mark and when we're wrong, we get no marks. In society, when we're right, we get no marks, but when we're wrong, we minus marks.

Went to buy the japanese drama, 1 litre of tears. Actually Suan Tin burned for me before, but I lent it to Khai Yin and it became a point of no return. Therefore I went to buy it again.

The show is based on the actual diary of Kito Aya(1962-1988), who became my idol after I watched the drama and read her diary. How can someone be so strong and determined to live on despite seeing her own body degenerating day by day, to the point that she cannot hold a pen to write her diary, cannot talk, and eventually die. And the most impressive thing is that she lives on so positively, despite her illness.

Never understand how can someone fail IPPT. And now I know. I failed my IPPT. Failed pull ups last week, went for a partial retest today and failed the same station. As far as I can remember, think this is the first time I fail IPPT. Well, going for RT. Sing Yong paid $100++ every month for gym. For me, the Army pay me for every session of training I attended. Not a bad deal..

Busy is an excuse. Running just takes half hour. Pull ups a minute or less. Lazy is a better word. But people just feel better if they make themselves the victim. For me, yes, I'm lazy. Just take RT as a way to force myself to keep fit. What more of being paid to keep fit??

Uncle died today. I feel a bit sad, not because of his death, but because my parents still stubbornly held on to some grudges. They refuse to go to his wake.

This uncle of mine is actually my father's sister's husband. My father's family is very complicated. Uncle disown grandfather, grandfather and grandmother separated, uncles and aunty "killing" each other, scolding each other, and calling each others names.

I am sad that dad and mum, especially mum, refuses to open up. Perhaps it's not becoz it's her direct family, tat's y she dun feel much. One harsh sentence from aunty caused her to remember it till now. She held on to a sentence she said, and some things that she did that she refuses to go to her husband's wake. I must say that I dun really know this uncle, except the fact that he dun work, take money from aunty, and travel around in cab. But well, who r we to judge.

Well, my grandma gave birth to 5 bulls and 1 cow. All the bulls and cows are stubbornly stubborn. (Note the double emphasis). Maybe becoz of all these stubbornness tat caused this whole situation. They only see this short time frame of life They only focus on the bad things one said of another. They've forgotten abt the happy times when they r together. They think they're always right. They think that they will never regret of all these they do....
