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.

My perspective view through my camera’s eye. Enjoy the photograph. Beautiful view isn’t it so. It was so breath-taking as I stared across the view faraway through my camera’s lenses as I took the shot in wide mode and stitch it across. Gold Coast was taken in 2005 while Sydney was taken in 2006 and Macau was taken in 2008.

It is in fact indeed true. BRUTAL TRUTH out there. WHY? Because noboday care or give a thought. So do it yourself is your best choice in life. Fight your way up and chase dreams after dreams. Your own way. Be creative. Life is not yours to fall on. Your life is to fight a future you want to be in not other people’s life and opinion get a hold on you or feed your brains with rotten advise. I am sure you don’t want that. You have the brains to block off the information.

Have you ever heard something before…

“Well, How Do You Like Me So Far?”

Remember the old joke? The comic comes onstage and the first words out of his mount are, “Well,  how do you like me so far?” The audience always cracks up. Why? Because we all silently ask that question. Whenever we meet someone, we know, consciously or subconsciously, how they are reacting to us.

Do they look at us? Do they smile? Do they lean toward us? Do they somehow recongnize how wonderful and special we are? We like those people. They have good taste. Or do they turn away, obviously unimpressed by our magnificence. The cretins!

Two people getting to know each other are like little puppies sniffing each other out. We don’t have tails that wag or hair that bristles. But we do have eyes that narrow or widen. And hands that flash knuckles or subconsciously often in the palms-up “I submit” position. We have dozens of other involuntary reactions that take place in the first few moments of togetherness.

Truth to be told. Who gives a thought about you? Well no one. Why should you care? Don’t dwell too much on it my friend. There is always a cause and effect. If your life is stagnant, you need to look at what you are putting in. Have you ever hear someone saying “I’m nurturing my relationships, I’m putting maximum effort into my work – and NOTHING GOOD is happening in my life.” STOP IT!! Your life is an energy system. If nothing good is happening in your life. It is your fault. Once you acknowledge that your input shapes your circumstances, you crease to be a victim.

Life is always a lesson learnt after experiencing a mistake and never giving up. Once you give up, you will be a failure your whole life and that is why to this day many millions people out in this world fighting a foothold of their future. That includes me, you, every humankind as well as the disable. Millions of people out there with different experience of misfortunte. It is not only us.

So we aren’t alone. We aren’t done. We aren’t finished. We have to flip through another chapter of our lives.

Some people said “PASSION” is rubbish and is a lost cause. Some people might have different views and opinion but do kindly tell yourself what passion is for. Think about it and do not say it is a lost cause.

Passion is..

When you care about what you do, enthusiasm carries you through. When you are passionate, no one else have to motivate you.

If you open your “dream restaurant”, and no one comes to eat, you keep trying new recipes, ideas, and locations until the place is crammed. If you run out of money first, you take your enthusiasm to someone who has more money than you – and you get a partner. You go through frustrations – and a few chefs – but in your heart, you know you are on course. Sure you need plenty of determination, but your passion is your foundation.

Vitality comes from a sense of purpose. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to other people to do what excites you. There are already enough lukewarm people in the world who get burned out without ever having been on fire.

Following your dream is no guarantee of an easy ride. Life usually becomes more challenging, but you embark on an outer journey which starts the inner journey. You have a chance to blossom – to see who you really are. Always remember no matter what age you are at and it is only a number,

If I start doing what I love will I have fewer problems?

No! Your mission in life is not to be without problems, your mission in life is to get excited.

Your best chance for prosperity is in doing what you love. Love is energy. Everything you do with love is infused with that “quality energy”, and that kind of energy is more likely to translate into dollars. But that doesn’t mean no frustration and no pain. I have a problem with some new age books which paint such rosy pictures. Their message is: “Just follow your dream and carry home the cash in a wheelbarrow.”

YOUR BELIEFS DETERMINE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE!

For example: Let’s say you believe that fathers should praise their children and give them lots of presents. Whenever yours doesn’t do it, you are upset. So you want to change Father. Most people never consider the alernative solution: change beliefs.

You say: “But doesn’t everyone believe these things?”

NO! Some people don’t, and they are happier because of it. Some people don’t expect others to behave in any particular fashion. As a result, they have more peace of mind.

To see things differently, you don’t need willpower, self-confidence, or brain surgery. You just need the courage to think the unfamiliar. Next time you are upset, remember it’s not so much people who make you angry, as your beliefs. Whatever thoughts are causing pain, they are only thoughts. You can change a thought.

I would like to finally say “It’s not that compromise is inherently wrong,” “I just didn’t find anything to my interest very seriously satisfying. It is always not enough to know how, what, why, when as unfortunate crisis might unfold within you or you have thoughts of a words that you want to express but couldn’t find the words to muster in a meaningful way and so you muttered to yourself “WHY, am I not smarter than others, there are people that has gain reputation and practical knowledge in the marketplace.”

There is one thing in my whole life, I’ve discovered as I get older is that you have to do what is satisfying to you. IT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!! In fact that’s one of the advantages of old age, I suppose, that you have finally learned what matters to you and me. It is hard to know that at a age of 24 to 26 years old. Maybe you might be the one of the upcoming age. (Who knows?) And the problem is that nobody else can answer that question for you. You can only figure it out on your own.

A few years later or maybe longer since I have lost count, I think back on that conversation of my parents, my elder relatives or whatever have said to me and should kindly appreciate their words more than what you or I did at the time. For I believe I am getting to an age where I have a sense of what satisfies me and although I am perhaps more tolerant of compromise on the issue than my friend was, I know that my satisfaction is not to be found from all walks of life, worldly experience and hardship can really matters to you. Above all it is an experience where you need to have continous learning.

Remember one thing we are at an INFORMATION AGE where young people are smarter than us or even old and elderly people have profound knowledge but are unable to share their stories to their own peers of that level. It is better to know now than to know later and do not expect someone to come and say something to you. Don’t say “Why didn’t anyone tell me?” Guys and ladies, KNOCK IT OFF!

Please discover your own self-awareness rather than expecting others to help you unless you have tried means and ways till you are mentally drained then kindly ask for help somewhere else, your family, your relatives or your close friend. It all depends on WHO YOU TRUST? That is why up to this day I am still continously discovering my knowledge of self-awareness and making in-road to improve myself in a whole new way so I can leave some legacy that is more meaningful then I can finally tell myself that I have “ACHIEVE” something in life. The same applies to everyone too. Always remember one thing “STOP GIVING YOURSELF EXCUSES ” and “GET SERIOUS“.

I am not naive enough to believe that one episode in the wake of any kind of catastrophe can erase decades of mistrust. But it’s a start…

For the past 5 years during my undergraduate days, living aboard after graduation at the same time in Australia, have experienced ups and downs through business dealings, networking with some liked minded person who share different cultures and viewpoints. I have come to understand that with many faces has its own stories. It was a difficult, transitional period of my 5 years in an Australia soil where I have came to learn lots of things, different views, different people, different hardship, different communication, different community and lastly my life changing ways to embrace the situation of the realities around me which is so profound to explain and whereas it can’t be surmounted to your understanding that has never been felt, touched and bled before. There are words that should be left unsaid.

There are so many worldly views I have YET to learn, so much to learn, so muchhhhh…. that I felt my mind has been weighted heavily that is unfathomable to climb to greater heights but I believe, believe I will get there someday and somewhere when I can offer my hard knocks experience to like minded people who have felt the appreciation of values’ life waking moments.

To end my post of thoughts short. I still know that everyone has it own shortcomings. Do not be afraid to share your knowledge be it right or wrong. After you have learnt the experience, correct it, change it, change the belief and your confidence in a whole new possible way with a very postive attitudes. Truly it doesn’t come by so easily. Learn to treasure it and live by your character well.

Feel free to leave some comments if you have stories to share or just to say “HI”.

Anyone saw that car before. If not Singaporean can book the luxury car for your special occasion or events for a memory day to remember by. Hit your phone and dial: +65 9116 1150. Only in Singapore be aware. Till then enjoy in that luxury car.

Oh yes we went to Crown Plaza for a sightseeing tour since my long days away from Singapore. This file is quite big so take sometimes to load. Here is it.. enjoy..

The world beyond our comprehenshion.

No person, in any culture, likes to be bullied. No person likes living in fear because his or her ideas are different. Nobody likes being poor or hungry, and nobody likes to live under an economic system in which the fruits of his or her labor go perpetually unrewarded. The system of free markets and liberal democracy that now characterizes most of the developed world may be flawed; it may all too often reflect the interests of the powerful over the powerless. But that system is constantly subject to change and improvement – and it is precisely in this openness to change that market-based liberal democracies offer people around the world their best chance at a better life.

Humans do incredible things. Consider Roger Crawford, The American born with one leg and two arms, but no hands. Roger became a professional tennis player. That is, he earned professional status and coached tennis for a living. You can read his story in his book, “PLAYING FROM THE HEART“. Roger’s story makes you take a second look at your limitations.

An EXAMPLE: Do you know why a lot of people with disability go to Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. They want the whole world to recognize them and prove the able people wrong. In life they want to do build a reputation of themselves. There is nothing wrong with it to go after dreams, after dreams until they taste the achievements. It is one of the never ending road to success and do not let your mind waver or otherwise your mindset will sink. Follow your heart not your brains.

Digital Dan, of Ferndale, California, was a carpenter until he got cancer of the throat and had his voice box removed. When he could no longer speak, he became a disc jockey! Dan types his words into a laptop computer and the laptop does the talking!

There is a pattern amongst people who achieve their dreams – they often start from a long way behind. You find sickly asthmatics who became champion athletes, you find tycoons who were bankrupts. You find a thousand stories of illiterate immigrants who became college professors and company presidents.

When the odds are stacked against you, you develop a mental toughness just to survive. The strength you develop to survive becomes your secret weapon.

CONCLUSION: We always have choices. If you are not doing something, it’s because you are putting your energy elsewhere. The question is not: “Why is this impossible?” The question is: “What am I unwilling to do?” When you say: “I’ll do this thing. I don’t care how hard it is”, life then starts to support you.

“You can’t build a reputation on what you’re GOING to do.” – Henry Ford
