Simplicity.. the most basic word i can find in living life. Whatever happens, keep things simple. Work means work, play means play.. even in relationships.. i know its damm hard sometimes to keep it simple, some idiots just like to keep it complicated, i have no idea why.. maybe they got too much time on their life, or they just are damm idiots. Take for example, a machine, with so many little and tiny parts.. if 1 fail, all fail. as simple as that. Always choose the most straightforward and simple way, though it may be sometimes the most trecherous and difficult path..
Service.. whats service? in my terms, attending fully to the needs of another fellow human. Whats good service then? simple.. its just being more attentive, alert and using your heart in doing what you think is right. Strange but true, the other party, or customer, will feel your sincerity towards them, even if how fark up they can be.. Of course, its not 100percent foolproof, some dudes are just F up.. period. You feel like going to the kitchen and get the biggest and longest sharpest knife and give them a facelift, and giving a very painful and slow death.. but well, shit happens, and good times will come to. Providing service, for what i learnt from my experience in service line.. is so simple yet so hard to achieve. Lets give a example.. a family of 5, 2 parents, 3 kids. How many persons do we need to cater to? 5, do not forget the children. In many cases, if you give special care and attention to the kids, you will get admiration and thanks from the parents, as meaning you are paying attention even to their children, and thats great. In some instances, giving good service is almost impossible when you need to run here and there, clear plates, take orders, send orders, send drinks, get the bill. Sometimes i think its insane, but hey.. i guess its life. Its insane. Whenever you use your heart and soul to do something, you can achieve.
and seriously, serving people in working in service line change people.. it make you more humble, wise and more understanding.. also that, it trains on your alertness, gives you more tolerance and endurance to shit, and i mean shit, and lastly, it makes a person see the world. You see all kind of people, and every individual is special. If you can provide service fully to any one, with all your heart, then peharps you have achieved something.
Peharps call me crazy.. but i dont mind walking, running, be on my feet for 11 hours non stop, or even 16, i admit its tiring both on the body and mind, but when you see a happy customer saying goodbye, its the sense of achievement and accomplishment that makes you go on.. One reason i hate taking breaks is that it slows the mind and body.. it makes you tired and unfocused.. So thats why i always take my break at the very end of my 8 hour shift.. even if i am starving for the 8 hours, its better than eating and i cant work after that..
Lastly, Whatever you do, or meet people, give the respect and dignity and in turn you shall receive.. Never look down on anyone, or being racist. Respect, is a word all of us want. Whereever we are or at, no matter how bad a situation can be, sympathise and understand from the other party's view, and give them all the respect they need, and you will be surprise things work out;)
Respect, dignity, pride, honor, the values you lived day by day,being wise, is worth more than fame, fortune and being popular in life..

Hmm some thinking..
after a month and a half of constant work and bike lessons.. got a few thoughts to pen down, or write online.. The reason why the earth is round, is cause everythings go round. Meaning, in other words, whatever you do now, will come backs to you, be it good or bad. There is truth in these words. Like for providing service, no matter how fuck up a customer can be, if one can sastify the needs of the customer, able to take the shit, being humble, the person will be rewarded in due course. However, the fuck up customer will have his/her karma soon afterwards.. in simple words, you do good for now, even if people give you shit, good things will happen. So whatever happens, We always have a choice to do two things. Just two. To take the easy way out, or to do the right thing? take the easy way out, and someone suffer for us. Do the right thing, no matter sometimes it may seem impossible or unjustified to others, it will save someone and ourselves in due course.
Some customers i met along on a daily basis, you thought they were sent down from heaven, and some mutha fuckers, from hell. Some customers can be so so good and helpful, and some downright evil and wicked. They wanna you to die and suffer. And after all, you wonder why angels and devil existed. I guess it all stay in all of us. We can make others suffer for our own benefits, or we can sacriface for other sakes and help them. The choice always belongs to us...at that split second, or second, you hear 2 voices in your head, one telling you to heck care and the other, tell you to do the right thing. No, i am not insane, maybe not in your head, but somewhere in your heart, you feel it.
Whenever you see someone on the street requiring aid or assistance, you can believe you havent see a thing, or you can go forward and offer a helping hand. Its as simple as that. But many people choose the first, and for sometimes i did also. i arent perfect either.. Having in orchard area in delifrance, ngee ann city, and 3 weeks in paragon, i can say i seen most of people. The rich and ugly, the rich and fake, the no money wanna act they got money, the fussy asshole, the very very fuck up asshole, and of course, people with a good heart. Not i wanna mention anyone.. but did it occur to you, that many young people are going in the wrong way? Nothing can be achieve without hard work.
Forget those idol shit shown on tv, even those people have to climb up the ladder to be where they are. But whats wrong is that many people think there's the easy way out to everything, which in reality, it isnt. Forget what is shown on movies, happy endings and everyone go home, nah, it arent the same as real life. People get killed, hurt and abused in reality. Forget what status, money or whatever shit you think you know, or you thought you possess. Life is damm fragile, a second and we may lost everything. Maybe people treat you as a king or queen now, cause you got money and power, wait till when you lost everything, you will see people change extremely fast, and then you will know who's your fren. None. Fame and fortune are both illusions, like a puff of smoke in the sky. 1 blink and its gone.
But respect is not. History is not. Whatever you do, and wherever you are, whatever what line you do, always earn the respect of others, and give them back the dignity and respect. Once you do that, everyone gets things done. Respect weights downright more heavier than popularity. Honor as well.
Whatever work you do, always be humble of who you are, and your abilites. I had more than 10 good feedback forms about my service, but i never go around tell others how good i am in my work. Nah, its always to keep quiet when these things happen. Only a fool will boast whatever he/she does. A wise man will never. Be that wise man, not the fool.

It is possible...
hmm, just suddenly got the inspiration to write.. the theme is, WHat's possible to do, and whats not. For example.. everyone have dreams, of what they want, or wish to achieve, or wish to be. Sad thing is that many people told themselves its not possible, why? cause they think they are not up to it. (before i continue, just wish to say, EXCEPTION: love and relationship is a exception, you cant work for it, its not the efforts that counts, but its a complicated mess it is, so , lets continue.) Four years ago, i yearn to be a Naval Diver, now here i am, i wish to be a (SOF)special operation forces, or peharps a fireman. Why? peharps for the honor and being a specialist is the reason. Or peharps the calling. Its like, you just know you had to do that something at that certain age, i cant explain it, but it just feels (you have to do it) well.. thats me and me. I dont know the rest of folks out there. But right now i have to ride a bike, and its a understatement. So tada, learning the course, and lets cross the fingers that i can rush to ride a bike in estimate 2 to 3 mths.
you knows whats the funny part? the insurance covered for death while riding a bike is only 10,000.. thats pathetic dont you think?;p well, gonna get my own insurace when i have the license of a bike.

The Rovers...
From year 1 to year 2/1/2 in Poly, i was very much much active in Rovers, everthing and everytime was put into it.. Just suddenly went to see the photos they took during a recent event, DInner and Dance, and it leaves me a very strange thought, and a bad taste.
By the way, let me explain whats Rovers.. they are advanced scouts, trained in all the skills of scouts, navigation, surivival in the woods, cycling, kayaking, first aid, etc.. When i saw 1 photo of my current batch, i was kinda sadden.. as there was only so so few people left standing.. i remembered there was much much more when i went for that event at my first year, it was like a hugh big family, where everyone was there, and i can say Rovers was at its height, just was i. But now.. left is like a memory of the past. The photos showed alot more seniors, from the long past more than the current batches.. It makes me think, why did everyone left? i left reason was that there was a internal conflict, i do not believe what they believe in, thus becaming a splinter, and left.
But anyway, why did a good cca lost its value? last time i was so siao on every tue and thurs i will be going down for pt, and sat and sun for events. i even became a PTI in the end.well almost fail my year 1 though;p One thing i still keep thinking, what makes the old sch seniors so bonded, and the current batch so scattered and lost? is it the way they trained us, and the way we trained?
or peharps the problem lies in me? that i see things wrong.. or peharps the problem lies with the organisation..

Finally Posting.. I am back!;)
ahh, its been almost a month since the last post was seen. Hmm just a few things i wish to say first, 1st, my blog is all to public, and whatever i wrote are things and facts i felt and experienced, and i am writing with no reference to anyone or any organisation whatsoever. So lets start shall we?
Have many things bottled in me for the past mth, thats why i havent been writing for so long, even though i have posted lots of photos online, but they arent my true feelings. 4 years ago, i wished and hope for this day will come soon.. when i will be enlisting into the army, being and doing what i wish to do. But now.. i feel fear and excitment, i just dont know what i am gonna get when i enlist. All those things i believed once in, suddenly seem diluted and blant. It seems life has other things installed for me. But anyway, what will happen? no one knows. Lets wait and see.
Lets go on.. bout someone i mistreated and did wrong a while ago. if i had done wrong to you, then i apologised. Bout the time we were together, sorry i haven been good to you, but hey, you get on my nerves. I arent a kid, so pls stop acting childish. Fun it is for awhile, but pls stop trying to make me kid with you, for i am not. Peharps the harsh tone from my words, but hell, if you wish me to care bout you 24/7, i cant do that. I have my own things and problems to settle. And being my character, i never liked to be tied down, so if you wish to find a guy who's caring and concern, be with you 24/7, hear your problems everytime, hey, that's arent me. sorry. And thank god you told me you had enough of me. I suddenly feel released from the cage i am in. thank you..
Next, fark the fucking fuckers. (sorry for the crude word) but what the hell is wrong with the world? As i grow older, why do i feel the world is more and more inbalanced? youngsters are doing all sort of things that are so goddamm wrong, and fake. Take what idol thingy, the damm craze, the whole singapore seem to be crazy bout it. You know what i cant stand? those fake MuthaF(@#@#$) with lots of branded stuffs on their naked body and showing off and shopping and making fake frens as if the world is so goddamm perfect outside. What they see and feel is only superfical, all exterior but nothing inside. They do not know honor, and values of living. I feel that singaporeans are living their lives too good. Everything is there, everyone take things for granted.
Maybe thats why this anger that burns in me drives me to wanna be someone that i can change the situation i am in. I just cant sit there and watch the whole place tore itself down.
Ahh.. what has gotta into me? maybe its time i go for a cat scan on my brain, its changed since a mth. ><
