fresh start

something i heard on radio and found it something worth sharing to all(:



perhaps this's a little too late for those who aren't celebrating CNY, but still, read on
*smiles*








Take the New Year (CNY in this case) as a fresh start for everything.
Don't moan and groan and start to fill yourself with all sorts of unnecessary depressing stuffs on the first day, if not, how else can you look forward to the rest of the year?







Happy CNY!




Cheers(:

Perspectives

when was the last time you felt that you were right, but was wrong actually?
confused? right, let me rephrase that.

when was the last time, you were wrong, but to you yourself you thought that you were right?




what exactly is right, or wrong?







sometimes, it's intriguing to debate over a topic like this ;
abstract with a little of controversy somewhere.

Us, as humans, ain't perfect by nature and we complain about and grieve on alot of things, consciously or unconsciouly.
Often most of us will perceive it as we're the ones who are right,
and definitely we should defend our stand.
However,
are we really right?







just as comments were made by us on others, oppositions develop their impressions of us, of which is obvious.

We think we're right, oppositions think they are right, so who's the right one after all?
For any widely known or proclaimed issues, it'll be a matter of seconds or minutes to the unveiling of the ones with the right facts, however when faced with moral, ethics and values issues, the job's not that easy.





when faced with these situations, on a personal stand, i feel that 2 groups of people appear.
First are what i call the wise ones.


This group of people possess qualities such as maturity, patience, knowledge and understanding.
Upon confronted by such issues, they will sit down and spend time processing the situation and the information, going through thoughts over and over again. Not only were the oppositions' viewpoints are accepted with grace, thorough reflections were done.
Final agreements were not based on moments of impulse but rather long periods of thoughts and analysis.



The second group of people are known as surface judges. Alright, i know the name doesn't sound nice.
In comparison, this group of people will appear to lack depth of thinking, analysis and tolerance. They will also potray themselves as to being more self-centred.
Why?


Firstly, they are the first one to shoot random and pointless comments when faced with an abstract and controversial case. However, do note that not all who first start commenting falls into the 2nd group. We sometimes find individuals of quick thinking and flexibility presenting in depth analysis in minutes. Again, this doesn't mean that we can assume these scenarios happen often.





The point to note is, reflection and in depth analysis.
It has always not been an easy job to differentiate who's right and who's wrong and the justice behind everything, otherwise, judges will be out of jobs very soon.

Personally, i believe that whenever we comment on a person/event/stuff/situation, we should do a really quick reflection on ourselves.

Have we ever encounter such events before?

Have we ever committed/done such things/actions before?

Do we have the right to comment, i.e are we any better than them?



I am sure none of us want our impressions on others to be foolish and immature. In my case, i am 17 on-going 18, it's no longer play-play or slacking time. It's about time we start behaving like mature young adults.

Given our knowledge and environment today, it's only right that we are even more matured and poised as compared.

Sadly, it seems that this trend in not observable currently.
Studying in a tertiary institutes myself, I sometimes am amused by how my fellow schoolmates presents themselves. I would say some secondary school students are a much more matured group of people. Coupled with the fact that some of the students are actually foreigners, which means they are a year or 2 older than us, their behaviours are sending out signals that they actually need a talk on growing up.




Perhaps and most probably upon stepping into the workforce, they will experience a change and things get better, which definitely is optimistic. However, if such changes are not seen in the future, i can paint a bleak future of our economy and country with 80% confidence.


Definitely it's too early to place a comment like this at this point of time, however, there wasn't a choice given, and that's on a personal stand.

What do you think?

Feel free to mail me.

P.S : Happy Chinese New Year to all! Have a great celebration(:

face your fear.

gosh.
these few days my moodswings are like getting so damn out of control, like nobody's business=.=
and worse than a girl's PMS i would say.
serious eh?





look at my post yesterday
i was still pretty high and in the jumping-around mood.
but today, it's the exact opposite.


spent some time reflecting on myself today
finding out what exactly is/are my fear(s)
i guess i knew it all along
just that i can't seem to find the right solution yet.


How about you guys out there?
ever thought of what happens that will really push your mood all the way down, eats away all your motivation and make you feel like giving everything else up?

do discover these points fast, and find solutions to get rid of them.
Then, your life will be much more joyful(:




A simple test i took today :


What is your True Fear?
Your Result: Being Alone

While you may act like you don't care on the outside, on the inside your biggest fear is being alone. You can be quite shy and reserved. You feel like a lot of times people don't really see the real you. You're afraid that no one will really truly love you, and that you will be alone for the rest of your life. On the inside you are great person, so just remember that and don't let your shy nature get the best of you! If you don't want to be a lone then you need to make an effort to be with someone. Show the people that you care about that you really love them, and chances are someone will always be there, even if you think they won't.

withthe teachers/lectures/tutorials queing up waiting for me already.
bless me!






right.
first day of school was crap.

and more talks.........
=.=


and guess what.
just when me and cg plan to have a little warm up badminton session for tomorrow
both of us are selected to do some advertising for NYJC at secondary schools.

Today's the O lvl results release day.



so we set off from NY at about 1145.
it was like only 1215 when we step foot in AMK sec.
den start to grow fungus in their canteen.
till before we were called up to go to the hall.


started off giving out some pamphlets.
and guess what.
i was rejected D:


seriously, some shunned us (the NYJC "freaks" to them)
like as if we are some disease carriers.

ohh come on, im sure we are friendly~ *Smiles*


anyway, the rest of the advertising process was rather smooth-sailing.
and AMK sec produced a 8 distinctions with 7 A1 scholar!

Cool~

i wish i had that.







lunched with the beasts in my class after that.
(ok chill guys~)


went to New York New York.

it burnt a little hole in my pocket just for that lunch.

I am a poor kid D:


but anyway, im pretty sure we were making a fool out of ourselves.
With CG and Win around, lol.
but then again, it was fun((:




Nanyang Openhouse tomorrow.
Many of us felt that not many will come, because it's early in the morning at like 10am.
but anyway,
it's the badminton competition tomorrow thats causing the nerves in me.
*Arrgh!*


Hope 0813 will be able to clinch one of the top spots.
Bless us that we dont make any stupid faults!
Take cares.




Cheers(:

EDITED :



Alright peeps. im back again
here to edit my earlier post.

right, now im here to say that, im going to break and prove that predicition wrong(:
I've thought it through

no matter how I feel, i still have to go through the 1 year of stupid JC life.
rather than moan and groan, curse and swear and end up in a foul mood
why not face it in a better way and face it head on?
*laughs*

is it just me, or you?

in any case
i dont find the problem lies on me.
and im bloody sure that 90% of the people agrees with me.



had a talk with my friend over coffee yesterday night.
initially i thought he was just worrying too much.
but now i realised he's damn right.
i shouldn't have let my guard down.






i really dont wish to say this, but i cant hold it anymore.
i just want years of peaceful life, not stuffs like this.
To whoever it involves, please go have a good long reflection of yourself.

Look, do you know that you're the one who's creating and causing all the chaos and trouble within and outside the group? Nobody uttered or say a single thing when you weren't around. Once you're back, status quo is broken. You start your crap and feel so full of yourself. Who do you think you are? You think you can read other people's mind, you think you know everything? YEAH RIGHT.

Besides, what's with you harping on the past? you wanna relive the memories so that you will have that teeny weeny little sense of victory over me? dont make my toes laugh, please. Triump over me again and earn my respect if you have what it takes. Only cowards continue harping onto the past to get back that little tiny feeling of victory and their glorious moments, which can be counted with just a few fingers.

Moreover, gossiping about others make you feel happy? Of cause it's natural for humans to talk and gossip, but not to the extent of personal attack and insults. Taking other people's flaws, talking behind them and turning it into your laughing points make you happy huh? For god sake, you are a lady, practice some virtue a lady should have. Besides, do yourself some good deeds by keeping your mouth to yourself.

Come on, get a life. Dont spend your days gossiping and creating more chaos and troubles. You think thats fun? What if that happens to you? FUN?

I seriously hope you know the limits.

But if you insist on your grounds and push the blame onto me because of past events, i wish you luck then. It's pointless to continue to talk to a person like that.




That few paragraphs of words down there seriously makes my blog looks bad.
I have no intention of writing all this out initially, but one shouldn't push their luck.

No one's perfect, that i know.
Even as i comment on that person above, i myself might be committing some of the mistakes im saying about others.
But at least i know how to take a step back, relook at myself and tidy up before taking another step.
Now, i know that not everyone can do that.


Sorry people for the bad post.
Enjoy your weekends(:



Cheers(:

the nights that i cant stand.

gosh.
is this the love season or what?
my friends are all getting into relationship one by one.




first it was ding kai.
then brian.

now that ah siao buddy of mine.



of cause im happy for all of them.
who dont wanna another half to be there with them to share

their joy
their sorrows
their secrets
and all the time they can with each other.


after a change of mentality for me
i know things wouldn't help a single bit by feeling sad or bad over it.
but you know, the feeling just sinks in D:
god, how crap can all this get? =.='
*sigh*






perhaps now it's the time for me to focus on my studies
and my aspirations.
time for me to do more upgrading and absorb more knowledge.

i've always find this particular trick i've been using for the 17 years of my life to brighten up my life as it goes.

Look forward to events/stuffs that you really like or is around the corner.
The arrival of it might just lift your mood a little.

it works for the previous 17 years i had.
but for now, is there anything else i can look forward to?


take care all.

Resolutions

woah, 3 days of '09 are gone.
and for the past few days, i haven't been doing anything.
except for reading(:





im pretty much addicted to Warren Buffett books recently.
seriously i feel those books gave me alot of knowledge on investing and analyzing stocks and companies.

alot people still thinks that playing with shares is actually burning your own fingers.
mind the word, playing.
seriously, up till now, i have not heard any long term value-oriented investors jumping off the building yet. =x

to me, i feel that it's because they haven't notice the difference between speculators and investors, difference between investing and speculating.


it is those momentum investors that aim for short-term earnings and a quick buck that drive this mindset into the society.
In the field of investing, it will be years before you see your results, your earnings.
5-10 years to be short, 10 years and above to be usual.

Patience, analysis and knowledge are the keys to this game.





i am not pretty sure whether am i cut out for this, but no matter what, i aim to be one intelligent and successful investor.

i want to be superrich and successful.



i know it sounds ambitious, but dreams and goals are what drives us on isn't it?
*smiles.





so, i've pretty much come up with new year resolutions for '09.
i know it's kind of late for this, but better than nothing right?
*laughs.






My new year resolutions for '09 :

1. Have more self discipline.

2. Make it an effort to study consistently.

3. At least 2As for prelims.

4. 3 A for A levels (of cause 4 A will be the best)

5. Save up at least 1-2K for this year.

6. Invest in 2-3 shares for this year and more in the coming years.

and last but not least

7. Find myself a gf




that's about it i guess.
i'll give in my very best to be able to put a tick on every single resolution(:

so folks, have you come up with your resolutions? (:
gotta ciao for now.
more reading waiting for me.




Cheers(:


P.S : Congrats to DK on getting tgt with the girl he's so crazy about *smiles.
