March 2003 Update

First miserable entry for March. Never write for too long also dunno what to write.

Been more bz thn usual lately, due to Chris' projects and tests.

Set up a yahoo group for MCSS so all can still keep in touch. Hope more will join in quickly. Planning to set one up for NP Softball grp, but gotta wait for a while more, till the MCSS one stablizes, if not, I'll be in front of the computer for even a longer period of time.

Will try to update soon!

HPT at Funan...

Almost after a month, I type another entry. Always tell myself to update more often, either no time or too lazy. Heh...

I did a HPT at ST today, and I'm only 2 months plus in this biz! So happy! I'm by far, one of the few lucky (& good) ones being in this biz for a short period of time to go up on stage to present! The 1st n 2nd time was to take over from Mao for the product demo after OPP, but today, I did one full presentation! Although I admit I cocked-up a bit and needed Mao to "rescue" me, I was still quite happy wif my results today. I have to brush up on certain things and try to give a perfect presentation the next time round I go up. Also, would like to thank PJ for coming down to support me, and all my others frds who can't make it, thanks for the moral support n encouraging words n smses. Thank You!

Time flies by very fast, considering what has happen within these few months. I could actually c myself growing thru this biz. It has actually made me grew stronger, more confident n as well, made me more mature n think things differently!

Angbows, tv, pirate queen...

Jan's coming to an end... so is chinese new year... yet to count my angbows but i estimate should have a tad little over 300, thanks to a boost of 200 from my parents.

Some things r done, some yet to be done. my adobe stuff r still in the cupboard waiting for a new lease of life on my comp. yet to install nero on my comp too... waiting for the "mood" n a day to finish up all these stuff.

Watching a show now on scv 55... plot's now on a couple... the guy is a useless bum, has a mistress outside. the pregnant wife, or rather soon to be ex-wife filed for divorce n is suffering from stomach cancer. now, she's seeking treatment from a close friend, the "now" gf of her ex bf.. confusing? a bit eh? hehe...

i'm downloading all of the episodes from sex and the city season 1!!! most epis still abt 40% done... boy, i really hate the censorship here in SG... Dun let me get started on it, i'll nvr stop... so, no dvds or tapes or telecast? i turn into a pirate queen! so i say... the censors here r making us turn to piracy indirectly! not tt i'm pushing the blame, its a cause n effect thing, rite? hehe... bleh... "lazy" to argue or debate abt this now...

back to my tv...

Stars...

I thk God heard my prayer. She's recovering fast and can even feed herself now! Thank God!

I was crossing the bridge on my way home one nite. As always when crossing the bridge at nite, I would look up into the sky. The moon wasn't full but yet it had a very nice glow. The sky was slightly cloudy, thus an area round the moon was slightly orange. It was then I realise that rainbows do happen at nite too! I had not done any reasearch up till now or maybe my eyes were kidding me. But I really saw a rainbow around the moon!

Then again on Thurs nite, while crossing the bridge, I looked up again. The sky was clear as it had rained before. The sky was filled with stars, bright stars. It didn't took me long to find myself looking at Orion again. This time I saw the main constellation in full too (I thk I might use wrong terms here, but it's how I understand it). 3 in a row in the middle with 1 slightly ajar from these 3, 4 at the corners forming a quad. I dunno why but whenever I see the Orion, I feel happy. I kept smiling to myself on the remaining steps home. I was thking how wonderful it is if I was lying on a patch of grass with nothing tall covering my nice aerial view of the stars. This is one of the few nites when I can see the stars so clearly, shining and gilttering.

Star Light Star Bright...

A little thanks...

First entry of the new year. But things still can happen on new year....

I was at a frds place discussing biz n playing mahjong. I received a shocking SMS. When I read it for the first time, I thought that it was a prank. When I read it the 2nd time, I felt a weight upon me. A secondary classmate cum softball team mate of mine is hopitalised after being involved in a motor accident. She was riding pillion then. She had to be operated and was in ICU in critical condition. I immediately called up a few frds to see her the next day.

When I first saw her at the ICU, my heart nearly dropped. I really wanted to cry, but I knew that if I dropped a tear, I'll lose all control. I'll be holding her by her shoulders n shaking her vigriously to wake her up. After talking to her for a while, I asked her Uni frd abt her condition. She had actually woke up a few times n now she's considered sleeping. Apparently the doc who operated on her had said that its up to her determination that she'll survive. Anyway, she moved to the general ward that very afternoon.

I went back to c her wif Jen the next day. She's a bit blur blur but has regained concious. She could even recognise us n called our names!!! Since secondary school whn I knew her, she's very active, school cross country champ, sports day individual champ, softball team. While lying there, a bit blur blur, she displayed her active n restless side still! She was kicking pple for jest of fun. But most of the time, she's struggling n stretching n moving around. She said that her back was aching n her right eye is in pain. Those who were there, had to keep telling her to stop moving ard. When we left, she said bye bye. Seeing her recover, it was really heartwarming. I wanted to shed tears of joy, but then again, I withheld them back. Mainly becos no one was crying also... Heh...

The first thing I did whn I read the SMS, I was praying to God. Telling him not to take her away from us so soon cos she's only 21, so young, so much future awaits her. After seeing her that day, I thanked God, I thanked him for listening to the prayer and thank him for blessing her. I know I can never say enough thanks to Him.

"Father in Heaven, I thank you once again. Please bless BB in her recovery. Let her have a speedy recovery. Let her return to school asap. In Jesus name, Amen"

Bzbzbz...

Busy, busy and even more busy. Busy with my 'Ferrari' biz...

The only time I enjoyed and relaxed this month was playing mahjong at Louis' place on Christmas Eve. Played throughout the whole nite. Damn shiok, cos at last I learnt mahjong! Hehe... Reached home at 7++am, washed up, slept a while n I was off to ST. Had to reach there by 2.30pm for a big meeting about the China market.

Everything has to be on double speed now. We had originally challenged our business partner to become BDs one month before he does. Now he has accepted another business partner's challenge to get BD by June. That means we have to do it by May. 5 months!! Gambatte!!

Go D! Go BD! Go HBD!

Go Financial Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toyota vs Ferrari

Well, well, I din keep my promise... Damn freaking busy ah... At first, it was the tuition agency. Have to overlook this n that, pratically zapped me of all my energy plus its a very very slow vehicle, a toyota kinda model... How to achieve financial freedom n my dreams?

So now, I've found a ferrari, or an evo 7... A much much faster vehicle for me to reach tt stage. A business venture fast enuff tt'll let me build a softball n baseball stadium in sg, adopt many many kids who are in need from all over the world n help Africa in educating them abt Aids n their children...

I've lived a very sheltered n comfortable life n I want unfortunate kids to live a better life. Whenever I c those documentaries on these kids, I cry... I really wish i can adopt all of them!!!

The tuition agency will be on hold for this moment now as we are building a business organisation for this "ferrari"

Onward to my dreams!!!

Lazy lazy me...

Haizzz, I've said this again n again, mayb I shld make this into a upcoming Xmas resolution... I'm getting lazy n writing lesser n lesser entries every month. Thou shalt not be lazy n will try to update my diary more often... Quite a no of things happen these 2 weeks ++... Let me tok abt them one by one...

1) No Training: Apparently, all of NP's fields are closed for maintanance, which means no training during the hols till the sch reopens. I've asked MC if its possible to train with Teck Whye if thy are training, he'll say he'll find out. So, have to wait n see...

2) Tuition Agency: Me, Chris n his bro has set up a tuition agency. It's my first step into business since after reading Robert T Kiyosaki's books. At least I'm now in the 'S' quad, rather thn in the 'E' quad. We're beginning business on Monday. Quite excited abt it. Those who wana teach tuition, call me k? hehe...

3) Commercials: They're being aired on TV now! The 5 Ministry of Manpower adverts n 1 Brands advert... Anyone seen them yet? The only one I haven seen is the Violin one... Isn't the baby in the Baby advert cute? While watching the commercials and if my parents are ard, I'll point out to thm which are the locations I've found. Hehe... Mayb I'm born to be someone who is involved in productions, cos I'll have this very overwhelming man zhu gan whenever I see the finished product of the projects I'm involved in...

4) Fatty: Oh yes, I've put on weight cos I was greedy. Didn't control my diet even though I wasn't working, excercising or running abt as much as I had while I was with Two Oceans. Haiz... Even the successful grapefruit drinking days b4 I was working isn't working very well nowadays... Haizzz... Fat fat no one want ah!!! So, must start to control diet already. But with the present office so near to Chinatown n Maxwell Food Centre, the temptation is overwhelming!!! All the good yummy food like Chinatown's egg tarts, porridge, yong tau foo, er gu's desserts, claypot rice n Maxwell's chicken rice, tapioca cakes, ham jin pengs, ding xiang dou hua, the list jus goes on n on lor... Argh, saying all these is making me hungry n making my mouth water... Die liao lah... Have to control ah! Have to really go on diet cos when Cash comes back from Oz, the probability that me, him n Chris go whack all the good food is very very high.

ok, I thk that's all. I'm done for today...

25th Oct's birthday...

Celebrated someone's bday today. Not very successful... Nvr seen him blow such a temper before...

Am I doing too much for a best/close frd, I wonder sometimes. He's still quite dependent on me. I accompanied him to get a hair cut and to do field work for school projects. Even today, I help him organise most of the stuff, like who buying what and had to help him call his brothers down cos he's too busy wif projects. I dun mind doing all this for him, but I jus hope he'll be less dependent on me sometimes.

In the past, I'm obliged to do everything for him, now, even as best/close frds, shld there be a limitation? Should there really be a limitation? And after doing so much, all I got was a "volcano eruption". Was it worth while? As best/close frds, I know I shldn't bother or be so calculative... After doing so much, I need no thank you's, a quiet apperciation is enuff, but a temper blown?

IVP 2002 Game 2 & 3... Location Asst job...

So damn blardi tired n tied up with my job that I din update for such a long time.

The gals team lost the 2nd match to NUS but won SP in the 3rd. So, we've got 2nd tis year!!! Yay!!!

I was doing location asst for Two Oceans since the 6th till 29th. Had to recce places according to the script for a ministry project of 5 commercials. The shooting dates were 26th till the 29th. Slept almost the whole day ystday! Was so damn tired. Imagine sleeping at an average of 2am n waking up at 5am. Reached home after the last day of shoot, slept at about 1am all the way till 5+pm the next day... Shiok! Hehe...

Went back to office to settle the claims today. My producer asked if I'm interested to work. Of course! Well, I've to get some capital for my business after all. Told him I'd like to try the PA post. At least it pays better overall. 80 dollars a day for a PA job compared to 700 for the whole period contracted as location asst. After that, I went over to Chris' place to discuss our business and continued our Cash Flow game. I got outta of the rat race by 3.5 hrs and completed the game by buying my dream n his dream by 4 hrs. Hehe... Hope I can do it faster the next time round.

Now, I'm only waiting for 6 commercials to air. Hehe... Cos I'm considered doing location for another project of 1 commercial too. Cos tis script requires me to look for a house which I was doin for the project of 5 commercials. The agency (in charge of both projects) found one of the houses I recced suitable for the 1-commercial project so they used it.

After slacking out for 2 days, tmr I'll have to pack my room and embark on Robert's books again! My room's in a complete mess now... Haiz..
