Re-Trusting : Gaining The Trust That You Lost

Trust like I have said earlier is the vital key to the bonds of relationships. Trust grows like how the big tall trees in the jungle, slowly and constantly if nothing serious happens. It is suppose to be established and unshaken by wind. If there are outside factors such as parasiting, rotting or lightning strikes, the very foundation of the trust will crumble. Parasiting and Lightning Strikes are similar, both an outer factor that will bring the great Trust down. Parasiting will slowly sap the essence of life that the tree had been keeping for it's lifetime and Lightning Strikes just strike without mercy at unexpected times. Rotting comes from the inside of the tree where the tree will be influenced by worms which lingers within it. Of course, you'll be lucky if there are some woodpeckers there to help you but in reality woodpeckers are almost extinct.

Even when the tree is big and strong and not affected by the 3 phenomena above, there are always someone who will try to axe it down for their own benefits. The benefits varies from one people to another. Money, popularity, or revenge (due to envy) might be the reasons behind the cutting down of the Trust tree. These group are forester.

As how the tree falls, every years taken to grow will be leveled to as low as the ground but as long as the roots are still intact to the ground, it will eventually grows and be a big tree again. Time is the factor to the growth. What was lost may not be achieved to the same extent as before but it's worth a try. The length of time to grow would probably be multiplied but it is still possible. When the tree falls, it will first need to clear whats inside, the worms that eating the very core. Then it needs to identify the parasites that are growing around it then throwing these parasites that are around it. Next is to let the growing to grow at it's own pace.

Parasites and Rotting can be stopped but Lightning Strikes and Forester are hard to prevent. The only thing to do is to equip the tree with some things to prevent the lightning strike at the same place and prepared for the unwanted forester. Probably by dropping some branches or durians on the foresters' head will do the job... not killing ya... remember self control and discipline to prevent rotting.

Lightning Strike is something that happens unexpectedly just like a god's trial to the tree. Parasiting is like the other beings around the tree that are taking advantage and trying to kill the tree at the same time. Rotting is from the tree's ignorance of self control and discipline. A forester kills the tree for utmost benefits and usually helped by the parasites. Roots will be your determination and inner strengths to withstand the fall to rise again.

World Destruction... Can You Feel It?

The Anicent Mayan Calendar ends in 2012, 21.12.2012. End of time. End of the world. The end of Mayan Long Count. The apocalypse.. Nostradamus sets a time frame around 2012 AD that the fearsome meteor will hit earth. NASA Announces 2012 Destruction Probable.

Many, many reports and information that you can get over the Internet. Yet, most of us are clueless, unaware and maybe don't even care about this... For those who believe their journey is still long, think again 2012 is just 3 years away... For those who are chasing towards the materials, ask this question, "Can I bring the materials to where I would be when the destruction hits earth?". Our lives has now become tha issue... the timebomb is ticking... bit by bit... we are strucked by little famine...

SARS, Bird Flu, and now the hottest A H1N1, the cases are getting more and more serious... I basically don't want to believe in this warnings... but the concern has reached my heart... I want to be rich, famous and satisfied... I don't want to perish in the flames of the destruction that I'm going to walk into... There are many things that I still want to do... Life... right now is no longer what it used to be for me... chasing the wind and stars... get good grades to get a great job that earns a lot... I don't want it anymore...

I just want to live my life... as how everyone should have... living to the fullest... with no regrets... I'm trying to do things that I wanted to do... trying to achieve as many dreams I have... trying to spent as much time for my friends and family... trying to say those words that I should've said to someone... Time for us have shortened... we should learn to appreciate...

As much as I would like to think that this prediction is fake and will not come through, I would also like to see the expression of those who wasted their lives and treated others badly when the time we known as "Judgement Day" arises... God's wrath on all of us, those who did the sins and for those who ignored the sinners... I just hope that god will change his mind on this one...

Life as a Trainee Part 1

I've been doing my Industrial Training in Daibochi for one month plus now... and I've found out that working life can be really dull if we repeat the same work over and over again... The office environment in the office is rather dead... besides the sound of phones ringing almost all at the same time, little voices of people chatting on the phone and sound of typing... It's rather dead.... the phone rings is like an echo... the ringing comes from one phone to another... It is such a headache to be hearing that early in the morning and throughout the day...Most of the time it makes you sleepy although you have loads of work to do...

However, Daibochi did a great job on trying to motivate their workers... giving incentives, food allowance, and some little appreciation lunches... Yeah although the canteen food sucks, but it is still edible and quite cheap... well the cheap part depends on the mood of the lady standing by the counter... Monthly assembly to remind workers on their goals and targets as well as giving out awards... and announcing the sales performace... Making the workers to feel appreciated and respected...

Mr. Soon Kim Chye, the Human Resource Manager, also felt that the office should have a little music at least... People in Daibochi till now, is still nice... of course there are some nasty fella also... well, Miss Mak told me that all crows in the world is same black... from a chinese saying... direct translated (;P), which also means that every company have the same mix of peoples... As much as I try to work, I might end up going online because I'm not that kind of people to do same thing over and over again....

Life as a trainee so far was rather enjoyable... and well a little more fun than what I thought of... So, this is my review and short updates of what I'm doing now... for those who are missing me... wahahaha... I'm quite okay right here, right now...

XOXO

A Day After The Exam

Hmmm... During the exam, I would just sit in front of the computer doing stuff that I'm not suppose to do... Practically not studying... haha... Yeah, most of my friends look at me like I'm some kind of... hmmm... how do I put this... well just too full of myself? Over confident? Somthing like that but I guess thats not a problem.. I'm just that way... The more I'm worried, I feel like doing something else... kinda weird...

But then, today was like so laid back and I was so free and yet... I don't feel like doing the stuff I did when it was the exam period like playing games... I felt weird myself... I'm doing something else when I have loads of stuff to do and do nothing when I'm free... Jeez

Anyway, I'm glad that exam is over and I look ahead for the Industrial Training starting June 1st... Haha... I'm going to train in a company, Daibochi Plastics located in Ayer Keroh Industrial Area... 4 months of training which is a requirement for us... Hope to learn something there... Before that, I wanna enjoy to the max... So Tomoro I'll be going out with a group of friends and planning to sing my heart out... Wahaha...

Party!!!!

Final Countdown is over... I'm gonna plan to party!!! As my friend, Robin said, Party Like A Rock Star...!!! Whoah...!!! HAHAHA!!!

Come On!!! Let's Go!!!

Trust

Trust... The very foundation to any relationship... The key towards a life long friendship and love... The trust factor have always been an issue that keep us away from having true peace... Believing that everyone has an agenda of their own when they do something...


I am a believer of trust itself... you may think that I'm naive and not being hurt by evil backstabbers and even liars... Maybe I am trying to think about whatever good that is left in the world today... Optimistic or some might say Foolish... I chose to stand on the side of trust mainly because I've once lost it... before a saviour came and pull me out from where I am with just trust...

I was falling into the darkness when hopes die out on me... people around me see me in the manner that it takes away whatever life essence thats left within you... People began to discriminate and even isolate you... for just a few tainted events that you are related with... People didn't know how suffering it was... the emotions behind a smile and the bleeding within the tough expression... Everyday was like falling into the deeper area of life...

Then a hand reach out to me... pull me away from where I was... I am giving up on all the hopes and there she was... telling me that she trust that I can do it... Trusted that I can come out from the hole and redeem my pride... she was my teacher, the only person who gave me strong words and encourage me when the world turn it's back on me... That was the beginning of a journey beyond my own immagination... I'm now in University... A place that I've never thought I'll make it back then... Thanks to a simple trust...

There for, I am keen on giving trust to people although I'll be hurt at a certain point... Honestly, I don't mind... because the trust that I give can at one point save another me... So, please try to keep the trust because its important... Trust is earned not given...

Most of my projects are done...

May 11, 2009 - this is the date where my group held our seminar and also the marking to the end of seminar for International Trade and Policy Students... Our title is, "Has International Trade Help to Protect World's Environment or Merely Destroying It?". The crowd was okay knowing it is the study week, where almost all the students went back to their hometown. Ending this seminar was probably the best way for me to actually let go of some "heat". The best of all about the seminar was I get to know people... people that I've never worked with and working with them gives a new experience and get to know them even better.... or worse (knowing their bad points also, sometimes)... haha...

Not to forget that the Final Examination is drawing near and I have yet to prepare anything... This is not what I fond of but it happens every semesters, or at least most of the semesters. Saying this doesn't mean anything to me... somehow, I've lost the will to learn... because the more I learn, the more I discover that in the end what trully matters is will you survive in this cold blooded world? But knowing this, I still cannot go against the will,hope and trust of my parents that bestowed upon me... So, I need to re-motivate myself and stand on my boat in the middle of the rough, wavy sea...

I hope that will that was kept deep within me will emerge again and give me the strenght to pull me out of my own psychological barrier. Just like it happened 10 years ago... I stood up and fight a fight that I'll never forget and that had changed the world that revolves around me... Will I once again gather the enormous strength from within to keep up with my nemesis, the time? I guess only I can find the answer when my nemesis, the time have arrive...

No Smoking Ads... Cool

Death Awaits

Burn your life...

Shorten it with every stick...

Digging your own grave?

Think about your loved ones and how they love you... Love yourself like how your loved ones love you... because if you're gone... you are going to take a part of their heart with you...

Patience is a Virtue... Ya meh?

Look at this picture... What do you see? Hmmm... A group of people storming thr front? Yeah, thats it... What are they rushing to get? Just to sign a piece of paper... This is the new generation of people that does not know what is patience... There were people conducting this briefing and calling out names for confirmation and yet... Look at the group of people... except for those who are at the front, they were called to be there...

Names were being called one by one but the noise is like the "Pasar Malam" or Night Market. Those who sit at their places waiting for the piece of paper to reach their places began to feel annoyed... The people that rushed to the front were trying to snatch the piece of paper and the best thing is after they signed they never pass it... instead, they leave it on the table for others to collect...

In the end? It slows down the whole process... Just because of someone being so impatient, everyone was dragged along... If only everyone sit down and pass it around I'm sure its going to be faster than what it took today... Anyway, a smart lady asked us to write on another piece of paper our details to check later... How smart of her to suggest it... otherwise it will need another half an hour...

Please be a little patient because it bring all benefits if you do so...

P.S : No offence yeah, ;P hahaha...

Appreciation Dinner BBQ at BBU

Well, the title showed it... I have an appreciation dinner with the working committee of Semblance Night 2009. Just like other normal appreciation dinner we get along and have a chat while eating... At first I was reluctant to be BBQ-ing because of the smoke and rather wait for others to cook for me... Yup, it was a selfish thought but life is as it is... someone will take advantage towards the giver... However, I was feeling bored and so I decided to grill the food.

I started off with the stuff I need wanted to eat... then when it's ready, someone requested for it so I ate a little and gave the rest to my team mates from the programme division... I then scouted for something else to grill and eat... but then they asked me for help... being myself, I said okay... so in the end I was doing all the grilling and my team mates are doing the eating... LOL... Look at that, I was thinking to take an advantage towards others and yet being taken advantage of... Really funny.

Something made me go on although I know that I'm practically being a slave to other... and that was their smile of joy... They smiled when they eat the food I prepared and gave compliments to it... how true was the compliment? Well, I just don't know... they would like someone to continue preparing food for them, right? Haha... But it was good to know that at least I'm being appreciated... Rather than doing things that does not really stands out and all you get was "good job" then later followed by "I'm disappointed with you" just because what you did failed due to some external factors... Anyway, people needed compliments to continue doing good deeds or a favour although they didn't mention it... It makes others feel good and appreciated... don't go out giving negativity cause it will only piss people out..

The appreciation dinner ended with a splash as we threw the director of the event into the swimming pool... and some others, well, they some how also ended up in the pool... like I do... XD. Although it is just a simple BBQ party but the fun was there for me... for others, hmmm... ask them if you wanna know... haha... How to ask? Find the answer yourself... haha

Stereotyped Humanoid

Hmmm... Like any ordinary people, we lived a life that we known as normal life... Monday to Friday... 8am to 5pm working in the office or working area... stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours or go happy hour... 7pm to 8pm dinner time, then a read some news, watch TV or online... Then go to bed... Saturday 8am to 1pm work then lunch time... maybe visit the mall to past time and then back home to rest... Sunday... hit the snooze button several time and laze till mid noon... then proceed with a breakfast cum lunch that we call "brunch" then laze some more at home... This is the normal life that we perceived...

We became so stereotyped in this generation and people are okay with it... We talk about thinking out side the box, be creative and even dare to be different... yet in reality, we confined ourselves into a small box... and lived within it... We are comfortable with the situation that we didn't want to move out of it... One of my friends told me that, "If everyone thinks the same, then everyone did not think far." We are getting sloppy and laid back and most of us does not have an adventure for years...

Kids in the other hands are living beyond our imagination... their ideas for life had been forgotten by most of us... Being happy for kids is just to have fun and be happy... For us happiness has a rather sad definition... Money + Career = Happy Life... Work is being happy? I don't know bout that. We are stereotyping ourselves and even our children... this is a rather sad phenomena...

After years of stereotyping we will come to an age where we look back and ask ourselves what have we been doing for all these years. Most people regretted their lives... Some regret because they cannot fulfill their dreams, some wanted to do things that they can no longer do. Whatever the reasons it is still because of the normal life we lived. We can't change the past, but the future is not fixed...

Live like you are going to die tomorrow and Seek the adventure that you always wanted... If everyone is different, we can hear different stories and share different experience... and that is what life is all about... living to the fullest.

Lucky? Unlucky?

Life has always been unpredictable to all. Life sucks for some and lucky for others. Is it really fate that we are always lucky or unlucky? Or there is another explaination to it? I used to say that luck is always base on your mood... The happier you be the luckier you get and vice versa... and so far it had been quite true. For me to say is really means nothing to you... thats why you needed to try it yourself... Try and give me some feedbacks...
