Life Transformers

To add on to my previous post, I really think Singaporeans are too nonsense sometimes...

The show - Life Transformers showing in channel 8 was under fire form netizen about 2 things:

1) Creditability that if it's real
2) Too expensive makeover for the people in the show

I mean come on all these are missing the point totally... what is wrong with us Singaporeans seriously... helping pple also get whacked... creditable anot I really dunno... but the fact that people are worried about sending a wrong message to the audiences... wtf really !!?? So showing some light into people's life is actually a taboo for some heartless souls i guess...

*roll eyes*

So this time round let me throw the questions again... are we too free or too over concerned over these tiny winny issues instead of focusing that the less priviledged are being cared for here... ?

Take about gracious society... I tink we still have miles off ...

Overly-concerned netizens… ? Or just pure "kaypohness" ...

I always tell myself that tagging on fb is, crudely put, comments that are not that important but fun to have… be it witty phrases or general what have you… Simply put, I think most of those comments are written when people are bo liaoz… or even from people that are not so familiar… I for one attest to such indulge.

Reason for defining them was that while I was skimming through fb yesterday night, I saw something which got me thinking. A fren just changed his status from “attached to ____” to “single”. This move turned out to be a hit, as there were already 20 comments in the matter of 1 hour… So what got me thinking was that do people really need to show their care and concern(s) in this way ?

I shall give 3 reasons to reinforcement my assertion:

1) This is “purely” somebody else’s business to be fair; so none of us would be in any position(s) to give any comments / take sides, no matter how close, because only the 2 of them knew the true story.

2) Granted, it’s a way to show your moral support; however, isn’t it bad enough already that a broke up has taken place. I mean hearts must have already been bleeding then I suppose, so no need to add salt to the wounds by declaring to the world “hey pple, I know this fren here who just turned single; he’s a loser…”

3) There are better alternatives to give moral support. A more personal touch like calls, smses or emails would have done wonders… besides… if you guys are that close, surely there will be no problems with hp numbers or sms wont cost much right ?

As I reiterate, this kinda thingy is really other people’s businesses… granted… I never agree with revealing to people your relationship status in the first place… but give the guy a break … life goes on man… it’s just incredible that I see 20 comments of “Take care dude…” or some sorts.

Is it a case of overly-concerned netizens, a result of us being sucked into this face-paced abyss that we all fail to realize that hurt people are best left alone, or maybe human just like to poke into other’s businesses, esp unpleasant ones ?

I really dunno….

What do you guys think ?

Retail therapy for the irresponsible bballer ? Heh

Okay... I ate my words... again...

But I supposed what I did was not of that magnitude from the one I got...

I din know the game was over so I threw a pass to Ah Shun... straight into his head... I ran over to him to see if he was ok... and was apologising profusely...

He only commented "What was that for man ?" with a blur look... kinda hilarious now that I try recalling it. I caught his glance at me before I threw the pass lor... but it's my bad lah... should have taken note of the score... thank god he was okay... it wasnt that hard of a pass lah... heh

Sorry Ah Shun...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spent quite a bit since Christmas till CNY period man... gotta really watch my budget... if not I can start eating bread for 3 meals le lor... tsk tsk

But sometimes... just sometimes... retail therapy helps... hahaha

But like all indulges... good times have to stop somewhere... and somewhere is today !

My new study desk from IKEA

Speechless summed up my week....

You know ... sometimes I really feel that stat boards arh... haiiz...rest my case...

Knn... looking for one estimated number only... and I was told to buy their reports then get another group of consultants to come up with it... kaoz...

So clever me did the best alternative; I found a study done by the same stat board for another project and got the estimated figure.... how hard was it to just gimme a bloody number to play with seriously....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With that in mind, the road works outside my house.... *roll eyes*... come on... do they really have to dig it every year... got gold izzit ? if got gold share lah... hahahaha

They like to dig so much...come my yard and dig holes for us lor... save us the money... we give them the credit...good deal wat.... wahahahaha

Nonsense lah... cause so much inconvenience to the morning traffic... as if it wasnt bad enough u know.... wth...

Again...stat board... haiiiz... speechless....

Sunday Wars !! Hahahaha

Man... it really feels like I have fought my way through the battlefield every sunday afternoon.


Age plays a big part no doubt... as you age, you run slower, your body cant take so much impacts, and best of all the body just cant seem to recover in time for the next round. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the sunday bball sessions; hanging out with the guys and treating it like a workout.. just that it's getting to a point where I needa kb abit too lor...


Let's see, I injured my finger a month ago and it's still recovering... best today, Yi Ren hit my funny bone with his knee... how the hell can such thing happen ? This is on top of the usual scratches and knocks I get for driving into the lane... wth both my arms are "injured"... ^^|||

Just today, Philip played one game and was down with a badly twisted ankle... and let's all not forget the dislocated finger that Genfeng suffered .... and the list goes on you know...

Haiz...

Bball is a contact sport most definitely, but I really think it's time to be better bball kakis ... by being cautious... and yes I mean the usual culprits Xiao Peng and Yi Ren !!

Hopefully my arms recovers in time for the war in the following week...

A New and Better Year Ahead !!!!

Yes pple… it’s the time of the year again… where all would scramble for their bucket list in their hearts, heads, etc. desperately looking though to see if last year’s resolution turned out well… hahaha

So here’s my recap for the year:

Year 2009 has been quite a hectic year for me.

The first half of the year I was still in my training phrase; hence, I spent quite a while in Houston, Texas. Man, I miss the colleagues and friends I made there, especially the international colleagues. The experience was on par with what I went through in Edmonton, Alberta. After the training comes the tense phase of getting me recruited in one of the business units in Singapore. And I must say I have been real fortunate to end up where I am now. Great boss, fabulous colleagues, and critically I am able to continue learning while contributing to the organization.

The second half of the year was less smooth for me, mainly due to adapting to a new style of working. Unlike my training days, I need to depend on others to get things going while I used to be able to do it all by myself. And, I learnt that managing people is an art – the hardest of most jobs is dealing with people, whether issit the boss or the subordinates. Nevertheless, I overcame these niggling adversities and learnt lots about working in MNC environment. On the personal front, things are going pretty good; I have been catching up more often with old frens while making new ones along the way ever since I was back from overseas. And I also ended the year on a healthy note with the Stand Chart 10km run…

Ultimately, I think I have grown at a pace which I think is what I had targeted, both personally and career wise. So although the year could have been better (as always), I am thankful it didn’t go any worse… =)


And up next is the infamous projections for the year !! Like I said, more means less will be accomplished... but wth... hahaha

Here goes nothing:
1. Excel in my new project(s)
2. Continue building up contacts
3. Making new friends while maintaining old ones.
4. Continue learning at work
5. Travel a little more…
6. Spend more time with my grandma
7. Spend more time at home
8. Keep myself healthy and fit
9. Keep a lookout for potential gf
10. Do a marathon

Except for (9) which is probably not within my control, the rest are pretty much a continuation from 2009. So I am hoping to get at least an 8/10 items ticked come year end… haha

2010… here I am !

Happy New Year !!
