Kor Kor, thanks for your "Zui"! Jeter hurt...

Sob sob... No live telecast of MLB games on SG's ESPN yet... Made me so happy for nothing. Checked out espnstar.com n found that they only start telecasting on the 10th... They betta not push it to a later date again... So i chked mlb.com to chk out NYY's season opener's score. Thy won, but Derek Jeter (sob sob...) dislocated his shoulder n will be out of action for a while... Haizzzzzzzzzz........

There's never ending news of people getting SARS, when will it ever stop?! Poly n uni students have appealed for the institutes to be closed during this period, the ministry refused. Now, after a student from NP kena, they closed NP for 3 days n poly staff had to track those who were in contact wif tt student. I was thinking, if only these institutes are closed at the same time as the pri n sec sch n jcs, thy would not have to go thru so much trouble. Pardon me, but I think the authories are just not doing things enuff in order to contain the virus spread.

Leslie Zhang Guo Rong, singer of my all-time fave song "Zui" commited suicide on Apr Fools Day. When I first heard the news thru CNA, I was thinking, wht a crude Apr Fools joke. When CNA reported it again, the news started to sink in, but i just cant believe it. The next day, there was newspapers spread n the entertainment news progs aso reported, it was thn i really realised it was true. Although i still refuse to believe what has happened, the fact is that it has already happened. He's so so talented... "Kor Kor (which he is usually called), everyone will miss you n your songs"

His death reminded me of Zhang Yu Sheng. Although he did not take his life, he was involved in an accident which made him lay in hospital for many days, never waking up n died. The images of him layin on the hospital bed, Amei, Su Rei and other frds holding hands in a cricle saying prayers for him and an inconsable Amei who was crying n crying, all these images seems to happen jus only ystday. Even at a memorial concert on his one year death anniversary, the image of Amei crying on stage, unable to finish her song which he wrote for her, is still so fresh in my mind.

Do talented artists have to come to a not so good end? Y do thy have to pass away this way? Or are there many others who died this way, n jus that thy are in the limelight, we are able to feel the loss to the industry? Do most of them suffer from depression? Tao Zi made a comment on her show which i agree, "Leslie is like 'so up there', many of us would think twice abt calling to chat wif him cos we are jus small fries". So do great artistes have to be lonely?

War, carnival, zzz...

So, war has started. I'm anti-Saddam but not pro-war. Have to disarm this mad fella asap. God knows whn he's gonna stage a bio or chem warfare on the rest of the world.

There was a SRC carnival for softball for the past 2 weekends. The matches were kinda ok, some exciting, some not. As usual, the 'C' division girls games were won on who had the least errors and free bases.

Haven't slept well these few days as had to reach Padang early. Woke up at 9am today, headache, went back to zzz. Woke up at 3pm, still headache plus giddiness... Kinda okie now... Arm aching too, cos din do proper streching before throw/catch.

Meeting Klooz n Pam most prob in the evening later. Mum say go facial wif her in the morning... Gotta sleep soon, but CNA gonna start Fox news broadcast...

Yeah!!! MLB's returning to ESPN starting on Wed!!! Hehe!!! At last! Hope they telecast more Yankees games so I can get to c Derek Jeter... Hehe...

Go to hell wif war...

Go to hell, Saddam!!

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...
