Life is a gift that I wasn’t born intelligent, doesn’t have worldly sense, am not powerful speaker, knowing the life of ins and outs. I grew up knowing nothing, was very wilful, was innocent and stubborn, void of feelings, taking people for granted and to top it all not showing appreciation.
Now I came to one final waking moments. Life is always an art of appreciation that you are on a journey to face the stepping stone founded none than other answer within you that instill the dormant technical intelligence knowledge that is unfounded. So I went oversea to learn how to be independent, equip myself with critical thinking and knowing the hardknocks of life’s experience in-depth and finally found it to be profound that is too much to explain in mere words. I have came to realise I am so hungry for information where I do not have the thirst to stomach the media news that has been feeding people with all the misleading information that has bound peoples’ ignorance bliss.
Till now my learning is gradually an ongoing process where I haven’t yet reaching my capability to the maximum. I am frankly neither great or good. I just felt it was an heaven sent to test my knowledge endurance that has been hidden so well till now. I am still searching for the answer to my internal comprehension whether I am really capable or intelligent to deliver my message that still remains like a blunt blade which hasn’t been sharpened for years.
Having read it in Business Times (The Weekend) on 25th saturday. There is one articles that have caught my eyes and thoughts. There is something which I do share her viewpoints.
Her statement is somewhat catch my attention in terms of knowledge. It is very practical in a sensible way.
“Singapore cannot be internationally competitive and a world leader in semiconductor, life science, healthcare, education, financial service, creative industries and casino tourism, all at the same time.”
Powerful and brutal truth. It is like you can’t do 7 things at the same time with a pair of hands. Need to have the task at hand completed before doing another task. We aren’t gods. So do countries aren’t filled with supremacy. Take things step at a time. If done everything at the same time. The price of living condition also rise and Singapore government want Singaporeans to slog so hard for what?
Brutal truth is Singapore Government indeed do suck our money dry till old age. The side end of the story is Government benefits. Government didn’t even bother to explain in media news what the reason is all about. From general people’s view, do everyone think that government works harder than Singaporeans. Not necessary true. I believe, we singaporeans work way harder than the government. All the government collects tax payments and so on. Many other hidden reason which isn’t revealed yet.
That is why to this day Singaporeans is still somewhat naive. I am not pointing fingers or blame. Only Singaporeans know their side of the story and government also have their side of the story. I am not really going to elaborate on that. I believe Singapore System is flawed. It is not yet came into perfection.
Till then I welcome any feedbacks to what are your thoughts after reading the news that I have linked.
From my perception regarding about what “OHIIT” is expected to be? It is for my own personal self-thoughts and education to the world. Some audience might noticed that ohiit sound like “OH SHIT” in their subconscious mind or see things in different perspective way. I’m fine with the way it is. But to all the audience out there from different walks of life in cyberspace or blogsphere have their own views. People do notice things sometimes to be of insignificant value but nonetheless it will not bother me much because I don’t have to know when, where, how would people reflect me to be. That is not important for the time being.
I would like to pick the word “FCUK” as an example. To people’s view in subconscious mind, it also seems and sound like “FUCK”. Well that is their side of the story. But it stand for “French Connection in United Kingdom”. Very unique and it stand out. That is the creativity side. That is what became into a brand. It is really a powerful communication image.
It is not something within my control and change people mindset, opinion and viewpoints. It is your own self to take a leap of faith to whether to embrace what ohiit is about. I believe it is still a project work of my own to testify my thinking and analysis whether I can deliever a message. So I don’t have to take things too hard in the meantime if I am not being correct in the first place.
So now, I am writing 37 words of what the character are…

For now it is just a rough idea and is not perfected yet. I am still adjusting from time to time.
WHY……?
Because people are so busy with their work, friends, family, daily lives and is often overlooked by their personal views without any thoughts. Didn’t spent time with what they want to do with life that is enriching. People do have a job and I do understand that as job need an income to support their living expenses but it is always never enough.
Most job in the world offer a 9am-5pm or 8am to 6pm working hours. Some working schedule might differ from companies to companies. Have anyone ever thought of working smart and diversify their workload in a better way in your own personal time. I believe none. Ok, lets put it aside.
As one of the millions people knows that moonlighting is illegal while you work full time. Not necessary so. Unless you are involved in illegal things like drugs or whatever it is against the law. For a moonlighting business is VERY LEGALLY defined because need another source of income to support their necessary medical care, food and living expenses. To be honest in asian countries like Singapore. Government are really suck up. It is just too plain true. I am not going to elaborate further. Or it would be rather useless and long winded. Keep it to minimum. As the world might go into proverty one day but we will never know yet. So everyone have to think of a way out to make more money to enrich their days better as years goes by. It is not something that is acquired within easily.
It takes a trained mind and great discipline to master the trade of your personal benefits to greater heights. It is always a work with personal growth that comes with hardship and hardknocks
There is one thing we have to be aware…
Old rule of capitalism, it was financially smart to save money. In the new captialism, it’s financial insanity to save a currency. It makes no sense to park your currency. In the new capitalism, currency must keep moving. If a currency stop flowing, it becomes worth less and less. A currency, like an electrical current, must move from asset to asset as quickly as possible. A currency’s purpose is to acquire assets, assets that are either appreciating in value or producing cash flow. A currency must move quickly to acquire real assets with real value because the currency itself is rapidly declining in value. Prices of real assets such as gold, oil, silver, housing, and stocks inflate in price bcecause the value of the currency is declining. Their inherent value does not change, only the amount of currency it takes to acquire them.
It has long been overdue and Heng Long has gone IPO last 8th July 2008. So I wish my friend Koh Wei Kang in helping succeed his dad company through generation, take it even further and to greater heights.
It has taken Heng Long thirty long years to become what it is today started by his father Koh Chon Tong. But the nature of the business from the ground up to become Heng Long was actually sixty-three years long which was started by Wei Kang’s great grandfather. So now it is already the third generation. Truth to be told it took his dad 1 yr of auditing to get Heng Long listed. Not an easy task and it has been a long journey for Heng Long. Anyway I wish Heng Long an everlasting reputation. I am glad to know Wei Kang through my brother, Karter Lee’s introduction since 2006.
I believe he can be a great leader and a succession model for his dad company. Till then hope he can raise in ranks to the best of his abilities and capability. Everything is always a learning process. He is one humble person and is popular among his friends who he socialise and network among his peers in his undergraduate years in an Australia university. Graduated from Murdoch University. He has been through tough times before so I believe the experience and existence has made him into a refined person. Life is always a bumpy road for everybody. Heng Long is continuously evolving.
It has been through three crisis, 1997 – Asian Financial Crisis, 2001 – 11th September: The Day the World Change, 2003 – Virus of the Year: SARs and now 2008 – World Financial Crisis the forth.
Here is a screen shot of Heng Long International Ltd in Today’s Newspaper from 24th September 2008.
There are advantage and disadvantage of going public listed.

- Increased pressure to improve growth and maintain profit
- Disclosure of Information and additional compliance requirements

Haha, I don’t mean I am stupid but am actually very ignorant when I was in my younger days. But now as time flows pass. I came to realise the importance of friendship, people’s viewpoints, different mindset and self-encouraging books are a way to change your life’s experience. From everything you see and do is a whole new experience once you set down to do something to change your life.
I was very very ignorant in my teens which is sometimes not a blessing in disguise unless you are very lucky to get away scott free. There are many things in life where life’s intelligence can really kill you. Why? Because too much information overload. Way too much to comprehend and that is why I pen down my thoughts on this weblog. It might be in a good way or might not be. I can go paperless. I feel I want this weblog as my data journal so whenever in time I come back and look back to my old journey of life. I can read what I have written in the past. So I can review it back and prove myself whether I have all the answer within my fingertips to the very degree of life’s theory in a proven scientific way. But all I can say it is still too early to uncover. Life’s theory always change and do age with time.
Bear in mind once you age with time, your experience may fade but you wisdom heighten. At the same time might be frail as the growing passing days after the age of sixty to seventy. So I can’t really prove my point yet but I can confidently say that at the age of sixty and seventy the thoughts is far more profound or might wither away. Old people see things very differently as you age with time. So the power like a battery might not last long but it can be recharged. The problem is lifespan will be shorten if you prolong the recharger in the wrong way. So do time age as the health can deteriorate if not taken good care since your health welfare is your lifelong assets.
To all my friend out there including my hearing impaired friends. I hope you all are reading this articles of mine and if not then the sad fact is we are still growing up or maybe not at all. I have yet to reaching thirty but will soon in time. 2 years later. I have yet to figure out what should be done to achieve something in life before thirty.
To those who has reach thirties or beyond thirties. CONGRATS my friend. You have live another chapter and wish to move on. That is continous learning.
I guess life goes on. We all grow up. In our whole life from childhood till now. We do age with time. Life is priceless and do we think our life is worthless? Don’t be. I believe everyone has a life of choice to chase dreams after dreams and convert into realities. It is one of the hardknocks of our life that we need to wake up or before we realise it is too late. What if we reach thirties, forties, fifies and sixties then realise “WHAT DID I EVER ACHIEVE IN LIFE?” Then the signals nudges us with a sledgehammer. Only then growth is most painful when we resist it. Don’t resist. Open your mindset to all the possibilities. We are still learning, so much to learn. Even expert in stock market has been hit hard but we all learn from the outcomes, mistake after mistakes, bled for and cry for but it is all a part and parcel of life.
So up to this day we are not worthless but the painful truth is why we haven’t achieve in life that can make us happy in every chapter of our lives. Well truth to be told the universe is always nudging us with gentle signals. God has a message for us or maybe not. There is something in life we all have a price to pay for. Disaster in our life is an experience we learnt from and convert us into strengths but can be mentally drained. So stand strong and firm. I believe all mankind has problems to vary degree. We learn our biggest lesson when the going get rough.
When have you made the most important decisions in your life? When you were on your knees – after disasters, after knock-backs, when you’ve been kicked in the head. That’s when we say to ourselves: I’m sick of being broke, sick of being kicked around. I’m tired of being mediocre. I’m going to do something.”
When it comes to success we celebrate but don’t learn much from it but when it comes to failure we will learn alot. Tons more and beyond our comprehension. In retrospect, we usually notice “disasters or a bad experience” were a turning points. In truth we are a creatures of habits. We keep doing until we are forced to change.
