This movie has got to be one of my key influences in life. My favourite is Part 3.. The entire series (Young & Dangerous 1-6) speaks of integrity, honour among thieves, team spirit, commandarie and determination. Those are of course the positive aspects of the show.
This is my all time favourite character from Warcraft III. A misunderstood character I would say, much like myself.
23 May 2006.. Time is indeed running out.. Deadlines pushing nearer and nearer .. Exams approaching.. Work targets pressurising.. I like the pressure I think.. In fact I work better when under pressured as compared to having a free and easy time.
Well that’s me.. Nothing seems to faze me these days and I wonder if thats a good thing? It’s good to be confident I guess but like I always say.. there’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. I am afterall only a man and not an immortal.
I’ve been thinking about a subject recently.. " How does one measure his success?" Is it from the size of the house that one is staying in? Or how much one earns annually? or perhaps even the type of car that a person drives? This is perhaps from a materialistic point of view. An alternative view would be a happy family with 2 kids and a wife, whole family staying under one roof. A mundane life that would be very fulfilling for some. Contentment is the key I guess.
Pertaining to this issue I would like to quote a verse from "Legend Of Speed 2" At the jetty in a little rural area in Thailand, a father gives his son some good advice. He says" In life there are times when you have to speed forward bravely without fear of failure and there will be times when you have to slow down; now is not the time for you to slow down"
To put is simply I would say pursue your dreams without fear of failure when you are young for when you are old it will be time for you to slow down. It is better to have tried and failed then wonder about what could have been. Live life without regrets. Always remember that in life, its all about choices. Even if one refuses to make a choice, that in itself is a choice.
I feel that the success of a man is best measured when he has tried his best for his family and loved ones to give them as comfortable a life as he can afford.
To his frens, he displays loyalty, sincerity, integrity and most of all honesty.
But he would be most successful if he could help improve the lives of the poor, the physically challenged, the underprivileged kids, the sick and most of all the elderly.
My 8cts worth of thoughts..
FA Cup Winners 2006!
Check this out people.. Takes ur breath away doesn’t it?
I din realise people actualli bother to read blogs. Just decided to write for fun but apparently some people DO read my blog? Well anyway I’m bored again. Arm is getting better but still unable to strain it. Can’t lift anything heavy otherwise the veins/muscles will strain.. I’m practically left-handed now. Handle chopsticks quite well with my left hand too. Sheesh getting quite pissed off not being able to drive.
Anyway the topic that I shall write about today is "Cabs are never there when u need one"
Over the past couple of days, I’ve experienced extreme difficulty in flagging a cab. Perhaps I’m going thru a bad patch in waiting for cabs? The average wait for a cabbie is between 45mins to an hr if I’m lucky.. and its not even during peak hour. This further cements my faith that my decision to buy a car was the right one. Unfortunately after my little incident, I’m unable to drive for the time being. Imagine my agony as I look at my glossy black ride while trying my utmost to flag down any cabs that come by…. Perhaps my frustration is unfounded and I’m just impatient but come on’ Singapore is only so big and I have to wait 45mins to flag a cab? In Beijing, I accidentally raise my hand and 4 cabs would have stopped by the road. (Mark Seow 2001;My Witness)
We seriously need to look into this cabbie situation, on 1 hand we have cab drivers saying that there are too many cabs.. But then y can’t we get a cab when we most need 1? Feel free to comment my dear friends. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way.. Until I recover I guess I gotta either A) Wait for a cabbie or B) Take the MRT. If u ask me, If ur rushing for time.. take the MRT. Waiting time aside, at least it’s not affected by traffic conditions. My 2 cts opinion. =)
Here I am at 9.35am in the morning on a tuesday lying in bed n updating my blog, thot i would not have the time to update this at least til end of August when I submit my dissertation. Unfortunately a freak accident at a wake-boarding accident yesterday caused me to dislocated my shoulder and the rest as they say is history.
Many thanks to my mates Terence, Jianhui and Ah kiat for all the TLC througout my journey of pain in the car. To have a bone jutting out of my shoulder is kinda cool i guess but then again its painful man.. A new level of pain. =) Doc Tan at CGH was great thou, it took him just 2 turns to pop my shoulder back into place. Kudos to the Doc as well. 120mins of pain, just a min to set it right.
Also not forgetting my dearest Babydollz. Thanks for coming over and bringing food. I noe ur studying for ur exams and I appreciate the care & concern. ;p
Now I can’t drive for god noes how long.. I have many things to do, sales targets to meet, projects and assignments to hand in, exam to study for… n it also looks like I can’t go for Team Emphioz meetups for the next couple of weeks..
This year is proving to be very challenging indeed as was indicated in various astrology and horoscope books. Sometimes I wonder if its all a coincidence or its meant to happen to teach me a certain lesson in life. Hmmm.. something to ponder about..
