Role Model

Can anyone give me the best definition of a role model? The meaning of a role model?

To me, a role model is a person that gives you sound advices in life, teach you the ropes in life and provides a leeway to give you a headstart in life. This role model can be anyone so long he/she have these 3 criteria. Not too much or difficult to ask from a role model right.

I know that this decision would not bode down well as it may sound controversial and sudden. But what are the chances of a role model that you expecting, did a mistake that tarnish all the advices, the teachings and been a provider that you have been so faithfully follow, lose all the faith that you have in him/her?

Yes, i know that a role model is not perfect. He/she is also prone to mistakes. Somehow, i feel that this mistake can be avoided. But to God's will, it have to run its course.

Somehow, my faith in him/her have wavered to such manner that i have to distance myself towards him/her.

Anyway, im going to take a break from blogging. I think i have also lost the passion for blogging already. Hope the next post will be a new, refreshing and something different from my mundane lifestyle.

What girls don't know

Got this from JF

Go figure. Not wholly true but have pretty much that are quite accurate. Guys, you know which ones are true.

  • Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
  • Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
  • Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him
  • Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest.
  • Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
  • Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
  • Guys get jealous easily.
  • Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
  • Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
  • Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
  • A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
  • Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
  • Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
  • Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
  • When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
  • If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know somethings' up.
  • If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
  • When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to disagree with them.
  • When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking of something.
  • Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
  • A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
  • Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
  • Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
  • Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
  • If you are going to reject a guy, just do it. Don't say they are like a brother or just good friends, it just hurts even more. Tell them that you aren't interested in a relationship and they will respect you.
  • Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
  • When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Test of Trust

Do you know that, "the best time to see a person's character and personality is when he have to react to a situation?"

But if the situation is new to him, how do you think he will react to it? Fail, people would lose expectation in you. Pass, the expectations will be higher the next time round.

I know that i cant please everyone or everybody. Sometimes i wonder am i too trustworthy that i have been taken for granted? Sometimes is the norms and groups that im so accustomed with, that if another new character comes in, i will automatically reject or kick it out or the worst will be putting a mask on just to please that person?

Somehow, God want to replay the situation again and again in me that i able to do it and conform to people's expectations. But i cant do that as my belief in "i dont owe people a living" stands firm. Maybe is due to my stubbornness, as i found out, can work against me or to my advantage.

I cant really relate these problems to any Tom, Dick or Harry as the best solution is just keep quiet about it. Sometimes i feel that too much information have been fed to me more than i could take it in.

Sometimes i just want to tell everyone that, "whatever you do, dont come and tell me. If you think that you are doing right or correct, go ahead and do it. Unless if you are stuck with a problem." But these words just cant uttered out.

Till then, life goes on.

Sorry if this is an incoherent post. Just need a place to rant.

Batam Trip

The reason of this trip is to see an insight of how an entrepreneur works. Not one, but two. And siblings somemore. Both of them are ex-NP students graduated from Business Studies diploma.

The way they think is really out of the box. And the solutions given, the proposals they come out with, the plans they think of really amazes me. Even they eat, also can come out with a business plan out of the blue.

I have pictures taken from my handphone about an innovative product (too bad not created by them) that is currently not seen in Singapore supermarkets yet. But it will comes to our shore in the near future. The product is burning charcoal without the use of solid fuel. BBQ is going to be so easy the next time round. Dont believe? Pictures will say a thousand words. Pardon me as i could only upload the pictures during the weekend.

This is not the only industry they are specializes in. They are also into entertainment, restaurants, pubs, hotels and cable television (biggest player in Batam).

It was really an enriching trip that textbooks cant teach you. If there is another time, im not hesitate to go again.

Back!!

Just back from Batam with my tutor and 61 others. It was a non-school activity. Actually it was a one-night stay but due to Vesak Day and lots of locals going back, we have to stay another night at there. I wasnt really bothered about the hiccup as i get to know my tutor more. Hehehehe..

Traffic was chaotic but in an orderly manner. There were very few traffic lights. The first time i experience the way they drive, my balls were in my mouth. Singaporean drivers will stop immediately when they see the front car stop and then move off again. But not for them, they wont stop even if the front car stop, they somehow have this instinct that the car will move off straight away. And when they stop, the bumper of the front car CANNOT be see. Their driving skills literally put me at ease after a few rides with them.

Food was fantastic. Thank God that i didnt have any problem. We even saw A&W there. Man, the thought of waffles with ice cream just couldnt stop me. *slurps*

The hosts were equally fantastic. We only pay for the ferry ride, and the rest they handle. Food, accommodation and transport.

We shopped for clothes and i went there literally a rich man. hahahha, due to the currency exchange. S$50 = Rupiah$32500. (S$1 = Rupiah$6600)

There will be a part two and pictures.

SPUG EPL Prediction League

Woo hoo, got permission from someone to show off liao. Time to walk with a swagger, time to inflate my head bigger abit.

I have been crowned champion for the first time in the Prediction League. It was 9 months of predictions where every point count. Any error in prediction will dethrone you in the first place. Hiak hiak, someone did that and never recovered. This time round, it was the closest call. It was a neck to neck race where photo finish could never decide who will be the winner. We even decide to have a tie breaker in neutral games like FA Cup Final and UEFA Champions League. Lucky, it was never materialized.

Frankly speaking, i would rather exchange place with the second place to ease off those unwanted pressure in order to be the underdog. But somehow, been top of the standings makes me predict the outcome all the more carefully.

Next season, i have some defending to do. *pat pat to someone*



Jokes aside, we will have another prediction competition coming up and it is the Euro 2008. Hope to see new competitors and most importantly, have fun. The link is here.

Let me have my 15 minutes of fame. Thank you.

Low risk low return

Yesterday i was at NP Atrium when a guy approached me to do a survey. Initially i dont want to do it as i was too tired and sleepy to do and was also waiting for my friend. But just to please him, i accepted lah. How wrong am i after doing the survey.

He sit down and intro himself and began his sales talk. I think i have show him alot of my body language that im not interested at the moment yet he still yakking away. He was trying to ask me to put my savings in an insurance company instead of a bank just to earn higher interest.

Hello? Insurance company interest is not guaranteed and put a higher figure more than the bank. The interest rate is pegged to the current economy and again, it is not guarantee. I forgotten to ask him what is the guaranteed interest rate we are getting if we put it in the insurance company than the bank. I was totally unconvinced the way he talk.

If insurance company is so good in providing an interest rate higher than the bank and is guarantee, the following points will happen:
  • No need for sales person to come and convince us
  • People will withdraw all their money in their bank and put it in insurance companies
  • Low risk low return investment
Since the interest rate is per annum, do you think people will put their money in it just to see the interest grow at a rate which is higher than the bank? Yes and no.

Yes in a sense that some people is assured of the higher interest. That whatever you put in, you will still get back.

In another side of the coin, there will be people who will go for high risk high return investment where interest is much more than the insurance company and the bank.

Hai, i just hope no more survey for me. Im more appealed to the high risk high return investment where i know that i could make a loss the next instance, or a profit within a few hours.

Today, i become a lift janitor for a moment. Instead of asking, "which floor, sir/mdm?" i go, "hi! bye!" to tutors and friends in the lift.

New specs

Ok, that's it. Im thinking of getting a new spec for my eyes liao. not the one that YuNz is wearing

I dont have a perfect eyesight to begin with. I started wearing specs when i was in sec school but then at that time, it was my mom's persistence that i have to wear specs. I stop wearing it after some time.

Now, i think my eyesight degree is getting deeper and worse from seeing the computer screen too much, that when i see things far away like the lecture projection screen, i have to strain my eyes.

Great, any chio-bu or pretty opticians to intro? so that when i took the eye test, the result is 20/20

Pls dont imagine my look with spec on. I think i look like a nerd. Im wondering the timing of Jay's return is really that concidence. Hmm.......

Sense of humor

This morning went to Pulau Ubin to check out something. Ya, just to check something, i have to go to Pulau Ubin. My classmate and I got a rude shock when we reach the ferry terminal. It was such a long queue that it went all the way to the ground floor. For your info, the ferry terminal have already shifted and you have to go to basement to wait for a bumboat.

I had a conversation with my classmate when she told me that a particular tutor, who taught us last sem and lecture us this sem, watch korean drama.

It took a while to sink down because we always thought that she is into current affairs and i have a good laugh at it. Bwaahahhaahhaha.

This tutor is also the same person that ask my classmate to help me in this module. Gee, thanks.

For those who have been through her first tutorial literally got a culture shock. Just what i have expected. But this sem, she seem to show more of her sense of humor than erm, eh, i think i better leave out that word in case i kana aim in class again. =/
