Weekends.

Days just passes me by quickly that it reaching the end of the week already. While many people are waiting for this day to come, I'm actually having mixed feelings about it. Well, although its the holidays, i'm not actually living it the way i would want to enjoy.

Recently there was this new series showing in cable TV
The Drive of Life 歲月風雲. While it has many meanings behind the show, it really shown many of my personal feelings i experience in the past 2 years.

Here is a short summary of the series,

There were 3 brothers that were born in mainland China. But as a result of the massive political upheaval and the misunderstanding among them, the three of them have fallen out and now live apart in different areas of the world. The only saving grace is that both the eldest and second brother's son was able to put aside their prejudice and reconciled with one another.

And in order to realize a century old dream of the family, they decided to work together to develop the local automobile industry. After many years of struggle, they finally established its own brand of limousine, one that the whole Chinese nation is proud of. They also made significant and ongoing contribution to the China's automobile industry that will take them to a better future.

This is just a short summary of a 60 episode drama series, so i really think many should watch this epic.

Though i don't have such a huge storyline behind mine, but i could really related to the problems that the three brothers faced in the show. While my story is relatively smaller in terms of plot, the relation to the show is almost 100% exact to my story that i could really relate to it. While i'm actually facing the early part of the show, hopefully i will be able to get the final happy ending just like this series though i have to always remember that shows are just shows. When things come to reality, its really different!

Well, i shall end it off with a phrase

~" It was the work of fate that we became brothers, hopefully we will always be."

Oh sorry for the late updates.

Although now it's exam period in Singapore Polytechnic but since I don't have any papers during this 2 weeks, i could say that it's finally holidays for me. Took me quite a while, but definitely worth the wait.

As the title says, Eagle Academy. For the benefit of those who doesn't know about it, its actually a 3 days weekend conference starting from 15/08/08 - 17/08/08 for the BWW team in Singapore. Well, shall not get too much of the details out so i will keep it short and sweet. Here are some personal comments or opinion i gotten for the 3 days.

~ "POMPOM" - Peace of Mind, Plenty of Money
This phrase was shared with us by the first Diamond(Singapore) achiever, Ho Siew Meng & wife and it actually gave me some form of idea at what this meant to me, in my life. All i want for my family is just a Peace of Mind, freed from any worries, troubles and any negativity. Well, i guess its not something wrong to dream about being rich, who doesn't anyway, so Plenty of Money is also part of the plan=)

~ "If you're living good, why not have it great"
The following phrase was shared by Diamond(Malaysia) Vincent Yong & wife about this business. While not everyone is suitable for this business, some who don't see this great chance to make it great in life or some who are already living good in their comfort zone. As the phrase says, if you're living good, why don't have it even greater that what you are already living. Since you could have it good today, make it great for the rest of your lives.

We also managed to get some learning lessons all the way from 3,000 miles away, Founders Diamonds(US) Kankan & Samina Bhattacharyya, and Kulin & Mina Desai. This two couples are the very reason why Singapore is going to be so successful, and they were definitely AWESOME, and the only way you will experience is to actually find that out yourself. It is why I'm actually seeing this in a new light, all new direction on my journey and search to the key to my life.

~ "Figure out the challenges, get the solution"
Kulin Desai said this at the end of his sharing, and it actually made sense to me that if I'm going to make this work out great and done, i got to figure out all the challenges i will face along the way, and not only find that out, i will also get the solution and get it done. As Nike always like to say it, "JUST DO IT!!"

~ "Raw Material + Process = Final Product"
This is the formula given to us by my mentor during his sharing at the academy session. The raw material is like each and everyone of us, whether we're new or experienced in the business, as long as the Process, which is the education system available is good and countable, than the final product which will be the success of this business owner.

Well, i guess i won't say too much so maybe its time to let some pictures do the talking for me. Pictures are taken during the final night hour, where it was also my very first time up on stage!! Quality is not as great as usual since it was taken by a mobile phone camera, well, Credits to Ryan who took the pictures.

Me & Joshua queuing up for our turn to go up on stage.

Eagle Academy
That's me on the stage giving out my two-cents on stage! It was great though i only stood up there for less than a minute, I could visualize me standing there for 30 minutes!! AWESOME feeling i got.

Eagle Academy
"Leftovers" for the Night Hour with our mentor,
Kankan & Samina Bhattacharyya. This is their whole Singapore team. Bigger than any corporation I know of.

Eagle Academy
Our team with Kankan, the man with 7 diamonds in his ring.
This is just the start, and its going to get greater and greater.

~ "Eagles the standard, CAMs the goal"
Guess i will end this entry with this final phrase. If you want to find out more, and are an ambitious person who wants to do great things in life, financially free. I'll be more than willing to share my experience with you^^

Off to enjoy FREEDOM!

D.D.

Hmm. . . i'm blogging at such a late timing cause i'm still working on my projects that will be due on Friday, which will be the last day of the semester which didn't really went for as well as i would liked it to be. And since i don't have any examinations paper this time round, my holidays will officially start on Friday evening. But before i could start celebrating, its D.D time!! And if up till now, you're still trying to figuring out what is D.D, its actually Do or Die time for this last 2 days, last 48 hours. . . and so on. . .

Choices.

Haven't been updating for quite some time already. Been a little busy with tests and on-going projects that will be due at the end of this week. Actually wanted to blog many a time, but decided not to at the very last moment. Not that there is actually a very good reason to write one now, as i just wanted to take a little time off and type something random in here.

Recalling the time when i started this blog, it was just a web space for me to babble or store something i always wanted to say. Before i continue on the main topic, i would like to thank everyone that bought or helped to recommend others to buy these delicious mooncake from me.

Alright, back to the main issue, CHOICES.

This topic has actually been hitting my thoughts for a very very long time, and I've really been thinking deep and seriously considering about this. Examples that i can come out with,

At Age 15,
Reaching the teenager prime time, so got more involved in lifestyle activities.
Sneak in to enter NC-16 movie shows without being caught.
Interest in Pool that only allows aged 16 and above.
First Love.

At this point in life, i thought i had to make many choices which i in fact did, that changed my life or had affected my life totally. My direction and goal in life was adjusted and i was making more and more decision.

At Age 16,
Finally able to enter NC-16 without any worries.
Sneak in to enter M-18 movies shows without getting caught this time round.
Final stage of Secondary school life, Polytechnic or JC?
Also able to enter any pool center with the proud pink I/C to prove that you're of legal age.
Also got more contact with alcohol but only consumed within private area.
Always wanted to drive around Singapore, as long i could drive, nothing matters.

Well, of course also managed to drink at pubs or some other areas that are less strict or rather i got friends that are looking old enough? lol

At Age 18,
Reached the legal age to start learning driving,
Failed the first time Basic Theory, but managed to get a quick slot the following week,
Got my license within 8 months.
Happy being able to drive around myself!
M-18 was just a passer by, a legal age for me to go in without any worries.
Pubbing, Clubbing is just but a new activity for my buddies to do sometimes.

Currently,
Actually nothing much has changed since, just maybe got older, more experience in certain stuff, now just waiting for the 21 to come to legalize anything i can do in Singapore, that I'm "old and mature" enough to make decisions myself to take responsibility for it.

I just wanted to say that choices we make in life will change as time goes on, and every decision made at any step of your life will affect the later part of your life so always think of our every move twice and not a hasty decision.

Of course, if an opportunity comes knocking right at your door, you just take a little thought to it, and make sure you don't let it go pass you so easily. Its just like the MRT that comes to your stations everyday, if you're slow and missed it, do you think that the MRT will wait till you come? It will just pass you by and go off without you.

Well, one whole semester of my final year is coming to just this last week, and not many projects are done yet. Who knows or even bothers anyway? Choice is hard to make, but i never regretted any up till now and i will never ever. I believe that there is hope in the world, i just have to find it!

Heh! i wanted to write more but time isn't with me now, so gotta stop here!! Cheers everyone and good luck to everything the world is doing!!

Also, just wanted to wish my nation, SINGAPORE A HAPPY 43th BIRTHDAY!!!!
