Monday...

hey liang, hahaz, saw ur comments, and earlier on, i was running through kevin's resume, both made me think abt our WiseUtd bros again....how we used to be like in secondary school, how we changed when we went thru JC and the army, how we further evolved when we went to university or started working....
the changes have been a great many and for some, huge....
i'm juz glad that i managed to find frens in ur in sec school....at a age when one could easily be led astray or at the other end of the spectrum, could easily become a nerd....i am very grateful that i didn't fall into either trap...
our sec sch daes were filled with lotz of joy and excitement...and fun, we played soccer everydae....and for me, with absolutely NO regards for schoolwork....
we had the fun times, and funny times when we had to 'escape' from the discipline mistress (cant rem her name, Mdm Joanna or sth lydat), motivating times when we used to beat many of our challengers on the pitch, and many many more....
now that we are all en route to the working world, c'mon, let's chiong man....i'm also grateful that amidst the over-indulgence in fun we have had, we are still fortunate enuff to be able to make it this far....
the sky's the limit....let's go for all that we can get!
WiseUtd Technologies.....i still rem that.....we joked and jested abt it before, but behind all dat, it has alwaiz been a possibility from my perspective, even if it means a distant one....

got an email from ZW, my closest fren in EE and someone whom i hav learnt alot from and respect....
heard dat my ee bros are all kinda down in some way or another lately....and i feel sad abt it....
although i'm thousands of miles away, i can almost feel the mood they are in now cos i kinda know wat has happened to a couple of them....

i'd like to find out exactly wat happened.....but at the same time, c'mon ZW, it doesn't matter that i'm not there....u have alwaiz been a catalyst too, help lift the gloom off everyone, sometimes when our common frens, like Olive said dat she's worried abt u cos u r so busy and got lotz to think abt....
i juz luff it off, not because i don care, but because i noe u so well dat i am very confident u can handle all that come in ur way....
and in the case of Olive, I simply asked her not to worry cos there's nuttin to worry abt....at the end of the dae, like how u hav alwaiz managed to do so, circumvent the problems....and achieve the goals u set for urself....

in u all, i see intellect, lots of it....IQ, EQ....resourcefulness, determination.....
don let any temporary problem prevent u from moving forward.....
as mentioned earlier, i don hav to worry abt u guys....show me ur fighting spirit, and remember that we r supposed to show one another new and significant achievements when I return in July '07....
I am slogging like a bull here, overworking myself and overclocking my brain, so that I can keep to my side of the promise.....don't disappoint me yah.....i noe u all won't.....
let's jiayou tog! put aside any unhappiness, take a step back if u need to, look at the big picture....
success is ours if we can do dat....
and i don't see why we can't....
加油，加油！

I'm listening to backstreet boy's old songs now....and it's nice to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane....so many of their songs bring back fond memories for me....

todae i made a new fren....apparently, a very close fren here passed my contact to his gf's close fren...
hahaz, i don understand, but y does everyone seem to wan to pair me up with someone....

to be very very honest, i am pretty happy with my present status quo.....
and i do remember wat i resolved for myself before coming over....that i will not start a relationship with anyone during this 1yr....cos my main focus is on what i'm here for....
nevertheless, there have been temptations so far....and I do concede that I sometimes still yearn for a gf too, esp when i hear my fren talking to his gf on the phone, whispering sweet nothings and all dat mushy stuff....
that reali reminds me of the past....
however, i guess i hav been still pretty resolute thus far....and am keeping myself away from any possible temptations as best as i can....
cos once i start any r/s, i will be very committed to it and it will surely compromise on my learning here to some extents as well as create possible problems which are common in a r/s but won't be easy to handle when over here....


hmmm, well, i am juz very happy with the fact that i hav many frens here now and my social network is pretty strong....making new frens and knowing more ppl has alwaiz been a fun thing....
and it is even more imperative that i do so here....
and so i will, as i tread along the uncertain path of entrepreneurship, as i explore the unknowns in life, as i seek the tunnel which will lead me to my eventual goals, i will do so with the right attitude....

and perhaps most imptly, make sure i have family and true frens with me to celebrate at the end of the tunnel, when i find wat i have been looking for....

Success is NOT real success if one crosses
the finishing line alone...
