My Mission Statement

2006-02-13T19:09:00.000+08:00

I guess its time to write the first draft of my mission statement in life...

Mission statement:

1) To serve the people.

2) To work with the people.

3) To lead the people.

I have only managed to do a bit of each and i know i still got much to learn... give me some more time... maybe months or years.. but i will try to improve myself in these areas...

Few pieces of thoughts..

2006-01-02T15:17:00.000+08:00

There is one thing that i found out rather true recently.. - Free advice
These free advice regarding investing, business or even other finance habits could be dangerous if u happen to follow them without probing through the consequences. Free advices could be from anyone, ur friends, ur family, ur colleagues, the so called financial experts on Tv, ur financial planner, yes, anyone...

Now, why do i say free advices are dangerous if u follow them blindly? Most of these people who offered their negative ideas about investing or some other business ventures basically have never tried them before, and there're merely repeating what he/she heard from what the others had said. Even if they do keep an eye in the stock market, they're probably doing what their stock broker/insiders had advised them to and what was that? yes, its the " save, buy, diversify, hold, invest for the long term and pray " mantra...The problem with this advice is that one moment the market can be rising and the next moment you'll be losing your pants...This could also happen in the real estate world too and not to mention your business venture if you've one...

On the other hand, pple who might have promising business ideas or on other investment vehicles may ended up being demoralised and theirs dreams shattered due to the information fed by his/her friends, family and closed ones etc... However, i'm sure most people will think this field i'm probing into now is much debatable...

I would suggest seeking professional advice in these areas and doing homework on your part too... Research on the particular investment tool u're about to use and do cost- profit analysis on it before u literally jump into it. "Professional" help could sometimes turn out disastrous, so look out for the actual professionals before u listen to them entirely...Even if u're required to pay a sum of fees, its worth it...

and... good luck to whoever is reading this now...

FINANCIAL EDUCATION

2005-12-13T21:50:00.000+08:00

F.I.N.A.N.C.I.A.L E.D.U.C.A.T.I.O.N -- That's what led me to reading up books on finance, econs, business and the like all these while, and that's also what led me into spending $338 on a boardgame call "CASHFLOW 101" recently.

Yes, u might be calling me a idiot(feel free to do so),u might think i'm just being a big dreamer, and u might also happened to think that "a game is only a game", "this game is not the same with the reality", "this is such a complicated game", " how can this expensive game help me at all?" etc...

Yes,i do agree with u this game is only a game, and this game is indeed not totally reflecting the real world... But this boardgame can only remained as a game if u do not learn from it, and do not look upon the game scenarios as what are or might be happening in the actual world.

No,this boardgame is not complicated because YOU're already in the game already although unknowingly.

WHY? Because this game is about your financial knowledge, and how u deal with ur money. What do u buy using ur own money when ur monthly paycheck comes, is it assets or liabilities that u bought? Or is it some doodads that caused u to simply spend ur money on but will never bring u back any cashflow? How u deal with ur financial situation when u're downsized? How you thought of buying this beautiful and cool condo because it may serve as a rental purpose and brings in a neat little sum of cashflow per month but instead you ended up buying a liability which sucks ur money from u every month? How you thought that u may sweep up a pretty sum from buying stocks/shares as it looks rather safe, stable and has been on the rise for many years, but suddenly a global financial downturn came and hit the stock market very badly and u're the one who is swept along with it, with all ur invested money of cause.

I understand u're still sceptical about what i've just said, but that's entirely up to u on how u think about this game and about this real world... If u still wanted to say " i'm perfectly content with what i've now", " Money is not the main thing in my life", " why do i have to learn or know this? i'm not an econs or business student." Then i wished u luck, most sincere from my heart... i just wished that u're prepared when any economic downturns hit us badly in future. No, i'm not being a pessimist, i just wish i'm wrong about any stock market crash or global depression scenarios in the near future...

But i'm glad about one thing, at least i took the initiative to prepare myself, with or without the negative global econ impact, and i'm also prepared to spend money, effort, time and whatever it takes to build up my financial education, because i know its going to worth the trouble....

How about u?

Self Test..

2005-11-29T20:21:00.000+08:00

This is perhaps one of the most accurate test i have taken... i lazy to blog so i decided to put this as an entry...
(otherwise pple will start complaining why i didn't blog...u know who u're...hehe..)

You are quite original.

When people don't "get" you, it bothers you a lot.

Your strength: Your ability to gain respect

人生自由

2005-11-07T20:03:00.000+08:00

不知何时何日, 我的内心就开始感到如此空虚.

这种空虚长时间在我内心埋伏着,逼出了无奈...掩盖了我的真我...我似乎觉得自己活在一个机械化的世界,被一层层的黑暗压抑着,永远无法见到曙光...

幸好我的人生目标牵着我走,引导我一个不一样的路,要不然我会像世人或大多数人一样,永远陷入一个永远也跑不完的跑道,相似只白老鼠在笼子里奔跑,重获不了自由...

我并不是个存活在虚幻世界的人...就算你说我是,我也愿意把我一生的精力将这"虚幻"变成现实,制造一把钥匙打开那笼子的大门,换来永远的自由...我相信我一定能做得到的,因为我愿意试一试,因为我愿意改变自己的命运...

你呢?

Sorry...

2005-10-18T16:39:00.000+08:00

I know this is a public blog but i need to say something out from my heart...
I am sorry for not being able to accept ur feeling for me, Z*****.
Actually, even though you didn't admit it, i already know about it since last year..
Trust me, I'm not good enough for you, there are more guys in the world better than me...Sorry...
I know you're going to say that I can't stop you from caring for me, but I would like to say this - please do not waste time on me anymore...i really appreciate your care and concern these past yrs...Thank you...
As a friend, i wish you the very best in whatever you do, please do not waste your tears on me...its not worth it..

sigh..

........

2005-10-14T07:33:00.000+08:00

It struck again...this time..it lasted longer..much longer..
sometimes, i really wonder whether i'll be able to wake up see the next sunrise....
maybe there are not much time for me left... but still i'll push myself to continue each day, to enjoy each living moment... at least 1've managed to get an extra year of life,which i think is a bonus... since last yr...

i do not believe in palm reading neither do i believe in fate... but many people always said negative comments after reading my palm... hah...

Don't worry guys and gals reading this babbling my mine... I promised i'll continue to live...

too busy to blogged nowadays... haiz.. i know, its another excuse of mine.. i'm just being plain lazy...afterall i never hav any habit of keeping a dairy, what's the use of letting people look into ur mind?

Backdating...to fri..

ok, went to YJC on friday, (what date is it...let me see.. i think its 17th of Sept)..
Saw a lot of old friends, teachers and sch mates of my jc... and got to admit time flies...really fast... come to think of it, where was i at this time last yr? oh...i remembered, i was camping in the Tan Tock Seng Hospital for a few weeks...hah.. what a laugh.. it had been a yr since my last brush with death, or rather the lord of hades himself..wonder how long i still got to live..not that i am afraid to die, but there're still quite a couple of things i wished to accomplish before hell claims me...i guess i don't want to report at the gate of hell that soon, not time yet..

Extracts from RICH DAD...

2005-09-16T17:01:00.000+08:00

-- "Life pushes all of us around. Some give up. Others fight. A few learn the lesson and move on. They welcome life pushing them around. To these people, it means they need and want to learn something. They learn and move on. Most quit, and a few like you fight."

-- There is an old cliche that goes, "Job is an acronym for 'just over broke'."

-- There is another horrible management theory that goes, "workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit."

Quotes...

2005-09-15T16:39:00.000+08:00

"The heart is the world, the world is the heart, the created world has your colour."

"You don't see people who you shouldn't see. You see people you have to see. You have to see so that you see. You have to see so you see it."

"The you that i know, and the you that you know, are these two the same? If they are different, then it means there are millions upon millions of you in the world. Right now you are just one of the many..."

Hope these quotes apply to u somehow or another...

Most beautiful thing in life...

2005-09-14T18:38:00.000+08:00

Got to go to Stagmount camp today to visit an army exhibition ...our great Maj's PA, Eric came down specially to chat with me...(Yeah...bro..) Saw a few familiar faces here and there too..

Just remembered a qn asked by a new found VJC friend tat i met in the afternoon in HQ GUARDS. "What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" i paused for a while, registering the qn in my brain.. "Freedom..." i answered.

I guess from young up til now, i've always been given freedom to do whatever i like...
i can choose what i want to study, e kind of friends i mixed with, e goals in life i want to take a shot at and so on... I think it is one of the most powerful force in life, to be able to control your life, to make ur own future and to make whatever necessary to reach my target... and of course, i'm also on the route to learning financial freedom and to obtain it ultimately.. sometimes i think i'm quite ambitious, making plans for my future twenty or thirty yrs down the road and so on.. but at least i know where i'm going, where i'm setting my foot on.. otherwise i will be lost like so many others in the world...

Friends..

2005-09-12T13:19:00.000+08:00

My policy in making friends is simple, "just do it".. u never know, u may require the help of this person whom u make friends with someday... Alright, i know i being a trifle bit practical over here, but well..i'm like that if i happened to be new to u..

But, i've sth which bothers me this few weeks... and this contributes to my second policy in making friends, and that is, to be truthful to one another... and like what my friend, xiu hui had mentioned once, we shld try not to wear a mask in front of others... I know its tough, but this is what i'm trying to work towards to, to be honest with friends around me.. especially my family and my closest friends... I would rather be frank with one another, and may ended up hurting or causing pain or agony to one another,or even the end of a longtime friendship, but at least i brought out the truth, face it with courage and with conscience...no guilt.. no regrets...

Haiz..i hope my penny of thought can trigger some effect from some of u reading this...

Bon Voyage...

2005-09-11T01:04:00.000+08:00

hey, yew rong... hope u'll take care of urself in ROC.. and Bon Voyage, my friend..

2005-09-06T14:46:00.000+08:00

Its a long time since i last blogged... pretty occupied these few weeks... or maybe my habit of not putting down my thoughts have came to claim me again..

I'm finally not some big shot's PA.. not anymore.. no more heavy burden on my shoulders...not that i can't handle it, but i just don't like this kind of job.. i don't find any satisfaction in my previous position... finally.. i'm free..temporarily..

Went to Sph today.. Saw many old faces as well as new ones... Suddenly realised much have passed since i joined this organisation - Tong Xun Yuan Ju Le Bu when i was in J1..

Time flies...

But i'm glad to say that i made quite a few friends there.... yeah..

2005-08-12T21:08:00.000+08:00

I thrusted my Knuckles on the metal railing... My anger did not disperse..
This is one of the days whereby i asked myself y i am here...
An immediate order from my boss beside me may cause me to be the biggest bad guy in e brigade... A phone call from me usually means work.. I'm moving farther and farther away from my colleagues..
I'm breaking down.. breaking down real soon..
but this will intensify the fire in me.. I'm burning towards my goal..

Happy Bird Day...

2005-08-04T17:07:00.000+08:00

And this is to my best buddy...bloody Toh.. aka Niaoren.. i guess "Happy Bird Day" do Suits ur nick..haha..
19 Yrs on Mother Earth loh... (",)
Actually, I've always wanted to say this to u... Being single is a blessing sometimes... u're not bound by any invisisble super "aloy" chains and u're free to do whatever u want.. I am certainly not a person who believe in fate, but i do think that love is sth which cannot be forced, i know u've made the necessary attempts b4.. and that is a very gd start.. some pple don't even try to go for the one they liked..
Whatever it is, just be the way u want...u never know someone may come to appreciate you in the end..
Believe in THYSELF...

"I'll do what i can..."
A few days ago, this simple line given by me actually impressed one of my superiors working with me..
"Where did u learn it from?" My Lieutanant asked me. "I learn it from myself" I replied.
haha... I can't say i do my best in whatever i do... but i do try to extend my limits to the tasks given to me.. I do understand the role i'm playing.. as well as the responsibility i'm carrying..

2005-07-29T21:48:00.000+08:00

This must have been one of my busiest weeks ever... i shuddered when i think of how pple are going to spend their entire life in the "rat race"... One of my many roles in this current rigimental system is as a PA to a LIEUTENANT COLONEL,i'm sure quite a no of u must hav known abt it.. My point here is, I can't imagine myself slogging in a office everyday like many others in the world do... This is probably where i'll break off or should i say, "off frequency" with some of u reading it now... Getting a job and earning a monthly paycheck is definitely not my cup of coffee...

And that brings me back to the coversation to one of my Lieutanants working with me now... "Where will u be going next time? NTU, NUS?" My LTA asked."NTU" I replied promptly. "Which course?" the familiar qn followed. "Business." I answered knowing that i need to re-dig some of my usual answers again...
"Why business? Its such a general degree?" ...

Well.. I told him it was my interest...i doubt that he really buy my answer..
No matter what, I'll just be myself, why bother other pple's thoughts and views..? I'm still me...

3 days of diary..

2005-07-24T20:51:00.000+08:00

22 July

Took off today...
Played pool at AMK k pool during the evening..
Got teased by two girls in the lift.. i just find it strange, y one of the gals actually mimic exactly what i said to my friends...even when my sms came, she also mimic it... and they giggled... as though it was sth really funny... a pity i didn't confront them and ask y they do so... come to think of it...they are kind of cute.. in fact i hav found myself staring at one of them at times when i was playing pool.. ah well... :)

M y friends and i went to zhiwei's house later.. spent the night til 3am playing mahjong... gosh...

23 July

Spent the day at padang again... this time its a bit diff.. we focused on interviewing the performers and pri sch kids ... Got to use some of my tricks of trade ( student reporter ) finally...
Saw a no of my sch friends there again... not to mention pretty girls... ah...
And i saw kids from my primary sch - yishun primary sch.. and i still vaguely remembered the two teachers who're present... they told me that my P6 form teacher is now the VP in the sch... wow... got to go back someday...i think the last time i went back is yrs ago... After my work, met wif my friends, slacked around esplanade and usual areas ..

24 july - today

Met my friend Kai Qin at semb mrt platform.. and she said one thing i found it quite interesting.. she said that always looked very "cool" and "posed" myself in a "cool" way... Do i? I didn't realised i was like that... i definitely didn't do that on purpose.. i guess it comes natural??

Met xiu hui on somerset mrt station...Old Mr weather wasn't gd mood again..( did i mentioned that this happen very often when i go out wif her?) took shelter in one of the nearby building and chatted... After buying the tickets at Plaza Singapura, basically walked around the whole building 1 and a 1/2 times..
this time on my request.. we watched the movie "fantastic 4" .. Although i didn't really learn much from this show, i did enjoy it.. The graphics, sound effects and the story plot made the whole 2 hrs quite worth the $9.30..
We walked to esplanade after that.. slacked and chatted around the usual areas...

Why?

2005-07-20T20:25:00.000+08:00

I have enough....
I have enough of this nonsense...
Couldn't two person from the opposite gender be friends?
What's up with this conventional idea?
ya.. i know i have always been a trifle bit flirtist at time... And i know people don't like big flirts..
fine...
But just because i go out with a girl for a movie or a walk down orchard or sth like that, it doesn't automatically make her my girlfriend...
Can't you people just don't make such unnecessary comments regarding this... u may think its funny... but did u think of how i feel?

argh..Forget it... nvm.. Just ignore my load of crap here..

Roses...

2005-07-18T03:43:00.000+08:00

" They are just flashy. They don't have any kindness in them. Do you know why roses have thorns?" ... "It is to bring out their own red using the blood of the people they hurt. They'll do anything for their happiness." -- Miranda

"Flowers open their heart only to the people who appreciate their beauty. Loving is very hard but important."... "The thorn of the rose is the reverse side of their tenderness. Don't you think so?" " sometimes, you should remember the self within you that loves flowers.Not to lose yourself, remember the self within you that loves flowers."

2005-07-12T18:31:00.000+08:00

Well.. went out with my friend, xiu hui today. Supposed to bring her to see jurong lake (along lakeside - chinese garden mrt station) , but the pretty moody and foul weather doesn't seem to cooperate.. So we went to jurong pt directly and went to watched the show that requested a month ago... I should say that i learn more from "Initial D" than" War Of The Worlds" which i watched with zhiwei..

Quote 1: " You should find the world in which you are best at" - by the leading actress in the "Initial D" movie.
Quote 2: " You should learn not to compete with others, but should instead compete with yourself." - Takumi's dad ( Huang Qiu Sheng).

I don't have a very good memory, so don't blame me for getting the lines wrongly..

This is the first time i went to jurong cineplex ( ok, i'm a "mountain tortise" ), and the theatre itself is pretty much empty today..I don't have much things to add on..except for the endless rounds of walking around jurong pt without even going into the shops, ( right? xiu hui? ) maybe she can describe more... Btw, for ur infomation, xh, Initial D's D stand for Drift..

Alright, so my dear friend's next request is "Charlie And The Chocalate Factory", and i think i ought to have my own requests too, and i think it'll be "Fantastic 4" ... (",)

Tiring Day at Padang...

2005-07-09T15:24:00.000+08:00

Video shooting at Padang today.. lots of kids... got many chio bu too (",) ..hehe... ( ahem..)
oh.. back to the topic.. i was the extra, walking around the whole padang with a video cam, i guess any idiot would have seen me.. yeah.. one of my classmates did call me and said that she saw me .. well.. the whole combined rehearsal was quite smooth , except for the part whereby a guy who performed the parachute act broke his leg...i think...scary ah..watch the news later.. i remembered i did shoot this part..

ah well..posting NDP 05 photos here soon..

Interesting Poem

2005-07-08T21:17:00.000+08:00

Read about this poem from "rich dad's, poor dad" book on mrt this morning.. thought it could be nice to share with you guys..here goes...

The road not taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry i could not travel both
And be one traveller, long i stood
And looked down one as far as i could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other , as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh,i kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
I doubted if i should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

ROBERT FROST [1916]

I don't know about the rest of you ...but this poem really inspires me.. (",)

Happy or Sad...

2005-07-07T22:02:00.000+08:00

My boss called for two meetings today... attaching out to Dieppe Barracks soon.. becoming a full time NDP media designer or video editor...or whatever u call it... next week..yes..next week, i'll be leaving this isolated camp in a corner of tuas for good... Good news is that the camp is near my house.. bad news...there are plenty... but i'm used to this kind of regimental ruling..afterall, i spent 4 yrs in NCC.. i know its nothing big.. but well..at least it gives me e basic disciplinary foundation and a straight unemotional face of mine which people viewed as "Dao" (unfriendly)...

My saturdays will all be burnt soon... looks like my play time's over... its time to start real work... Get on with my life...

A little story to share...

2005-07-06T21:54:00.000+08:00

Boom...bang...bonk... through the silent darkness, came the sound of the one of the doors on the second floor slammed hard...A moment later, the loud crashing of the ground floor gate echoed throughout the stairway...A faint sound of Crying and mumblingfollowed... My sleep ended right there..My ears were on high alert.. Slowly..came the noiseof shuffling footsteps..then it stopped suddenly outside the doorway.. The door to my bunkwas smashed opened..A shadow stood in the doorway, he was breathing heavily..he was one fo my colleagues.. The next few moments were not a pretty sight.. After a rowdy argument with another colleague sleeping next to me, he kicked the door like no man's business, sent his spectaclesflying across the room,and the next split second he collapsed on the cement floor...
My other colleagues and i spent the next half an hour coaxing and calming him down...it was not easy..afterall he was drunk..but not dead drunk.. We later found out that he just had a quarrelwith his girlfriend and they had broken up soon after... " I have no family anymore..i only have her.." This was one of lines that he had shouted in between sobs.. I understand his situation.. afterall his father had just left him few weeks ago.. left him and his mother, sister for gd.. toa far away land... I feel that it was a buildup of emotions plus effects of the beer that causes thisoutburst..It was just too much for him to handle... One of my colleagues was trying make a point of learning from this breaking up incident...but i know better... breaking up and patching up is just like a routine between him and his girlfriend... I remembered telling him harshly " What u need now is a good night's sleep, and tomorrow when you wake up, life still goes on.."
Yes...i am a bit cruel with my words sometimes...
Yes..i can be a jerk or a bastard if i want to...
Its just how i react to different situations at different times at different place to different people...
Yeah...i realised i appear as a different person in front of different people...is that a mask i am wearing? i wonder....which one is the real me sometimes... which one is the real danqing i know of.....

a typical sort of saturday...

Went jogging in the morning with some of my friends, but ended up me jogging with myself, not that i'm fast or what, but i just used my normal constant speed all e way to e destination...i always like e cool morning breeze blowing into my face.. e sweat breaking out slowly along my forehead... I just like running, a pity i quit track and field that early in jc yr 1... haiz..

Played Bowling with my class gals in Marina south in the afternoon.. i'm glad they're all fine... after having dinner with them at orchard cineleisure, i went to meet up with my usual hang out friends... we did e usual stuffs..at usual places...and went home at usual late timings.. nothing much to really go into detail too..

actually supposed to go out with my friend today to watch initial D on her request... but she's running a fever...hope she will take care of herself, not that she don't know how..but just that she always neglects her health.. hope she's fine... (",)

"Why do you choose business?"... Heard this sort of remark again.. Frankly, i'm quite fed up sometimes,so often instead of explaining in large details, i just answered "interest"... i know one can always learn the skills of managing a business when you're out there slowly building up your own umpire, learning through experience...and most probably my business degree won't be of much use in future..

i know all these...

In fact, some time later my main objective in NTU faculty of business is to build up a social network of friends who have the same dreams as me..same interests..same desires...and hopefully we can lend each other assistance when anybody is in need in the future...

Moreover, i also need that credibility and recognition so that at least people will take me seriously with a few papers under my name, but of course, i know better...

Schools are still lagging behind in the industrial age, and it will be many years later when the school system do change...Just ask yourselves this question : do they introduce financial education in our schools? Unfortunately, only a few do...adults nowadays don't even know what a financial statement is, let alone primary or secondary school kids... Pitiful...i wonder how will most people survive finacially in future, without much financial knowledge... no offense intended...you can choose to ignore this post if you want...

i learnt the basics of majong today..played the whole night with 3 female friends.. which sums up to more than 7 hrs if my maths didn't failed me... miracally, i am still able to hang on... the next morning i looked practically like a zombie... i hope this kind of session doesn't happen too often, in fact i've this nagging feeling that my usual outing with my first 3 mths jc friends may have come to an end...why do i always look on the dark side? maybe i really am i pessimistic person like what my previous few teachers have accused me of...
but i'm still me...i'm still lin danqing..

Come to think of it..i wrote on my blog quite often...wonder why..like i said before, i do not have a habit of keeping a daily diary of stuff that i do everyday, maybe last time school life is much more like a repeition everyday...perhaps... i guess it maybe under my friend's influence.. but i am not so fluent in chinese like her, able to post chinese poems whenever there's inspiration.. my grip in chinese language has faded since secondary school..i'm no longer the apple of chinese teachers anymore... but it doesn't matter anymore, i've disappoint too many people in my life..including me..

My room is filled with electronics.. cameras..laptop..chargers..even 250 gb hard disk .. cables.. it was a mess.. i captured the required video clips from the tapes .. i realised i'm working overtime.. today is my official taking over to become my boss's ( a lieutenant colonel tml) PA.. i've colleagues who told me i'm promoted..hah..i knew it better..i merely have a new title "infomation manager" and more workload...my pay or should i say allowance remains the same.. is this promotion? i apologise for complaining here..i seldom pour my feelings out like that.. i have always wanted this kind of work in the army, doing video editing, animation, playing with sound, music.. now i got the job i desire, why don't i feel a lease happiness? i felt so empty sometimes..Or maybe i'm one empty person? i know i'm a person who can multi-tasked..but this is perhaps too much..i just have too much reponsibilities, too wide a job scope.. its just too much for me sometimes.. i've enough.. i wonder how long can i hang on more... ?

Last saturday, i went out with a friend.. well, i managed to get this superb busy girl out finally and it was perhaps the usual movie plus chatting outing.. As we're having our dinner at marina square,there's this small but crucial part of the whole conversation between us which i've over the days wouldn't put out of my mind and decided to put them down to words instead.. she mentioned that in the corporate world, there're no friends and the business world is just like in a war where everybody cares about themselves... yes.. she's right, afterall her parents are also business owners, it wouldn't seemed right for me to just deny her lack of actual business experience in this... i did try to voice out my objection by bringing the infamous line from ROBERT KIYOSAKI( THE AUTHOR OF THE RICH DAD SERIES),"fact vs myth" theory... it is true that in many cases, we heard of people who got swindled, bankrupt, collapse of a company,break up of a partnership etc..But i just want to say that in this world, there're two sides to every things, just like there is two different sides to a coin..dark vs light, good vs evil.. just like there're many conman, cheaters, clowns, gamblers in this real world, there are also many knights, saviours, opportunists grabbers, strategists,tacticians and corporate geniuses...
My point is, nothing in this world is perfect, just like nobody is born with perfect body parts, character and mind.. The real world is full of all kinds of people, any people.. When it comes down to it, there're risk everywhere..everything we do..everything i do.. i, for one will not stop to pursue my dreams, my goal as a business owner and an true investor..but i'll test out this theory of hers...if it means i've no friends...let that be it..i'm always the solo king..the loner..whatever u call me... but i'll still thank my friend for this comment for hers, afterall she did make me run through my thoughts, and i do know what i want in future... yes, i do..

I don't have too much of a habit in writing a diary, and perhaps will never have... i just don't feel good to have people peering into my inner self when i write my thoughts down.. as for now, i am only certain that i live not just for my dreams, myself or only for my selfish personal reasons, i realised i also live for others such as my family, my friends.. this is what i learn last yr.. that painful period will forever be there...somewhere..somehow..in that corner of my heart.. even though it hav been several months after my in and out "vacations" in e hospital, tat feeling still stays...tat feeling..tat agonising feeling... in me..
