Life indeed unfair

Reading through some of the blogs, I see many different version of failed attempt to get the girl you like. With my very own experience, I analyze it this way.
In life, nothing is fair. Everyone is born with different look. You might be handsome, ugly, moderate or pretty. Again, everyone is born with different degree of intellectual ability. These two factors are applicable to two kind of relationship. Obviously, first one that could come to your mind would be working relation and the other one would be the word attractiveness. You can be attractive in look (handsome, cool, etc) or words (know how to "sian" girls with nice words) or intellectual. (Power of speech)
LOL As for me it is too hard to find one that you like and she also like you. I think I don’t have the look as well as the mouth that know how to make girl happy. So, what I can do is to work on another path.
I understand that I am living in the world that “runs” after the word fact. It is the fact that you don’t have the charm, the fact that you are not as “talkative”, and the fact that you don’t have the strong financial support, the fact that you don’t have the knowledge and etc… thus, why should I choose you as my life partner when I find you not having one of the strong points stated above.
Once a girl confidently told me that I am not the one whom she thinks can give security and warmth. This painful remark gave me a fantastic shock. I have done so many things and what I earned is this remark. The other guy attracts her like reading ABC. Is there something that is missing in me or did I misunderstand the word sincerity? Often I ask myself why she said that. On what basis did she say that or did that? Often, I also ask myself how good is she when you are the one who is being selected. What actually drives two people into a relation? Likely, charm the primary factor and sincerity the secondary. No point doing anything when the girl do not like you as it waste your time and effort. You might learn an expensive lesson if you try to attempt it. Chances are slim. Well, the theory goes again, if it’s yours, it yours, else she will never be by your side.
Two years of National service, once awhile in my duty area, with my cute doggie, thinking of all those troubling issues (many other than BGR). I feel that you must be happy of what you have now and be glad that you still have your love ones. Just like everyday, my dog waiting patiently for me to arrive in camp to take him for a walk. Although, not allowed, because of love, I always bring nice dog food for him. My dog has a room and my heart as well as I having a room in it’s’ heart. Simple love makes so much different in life.
Having one case, I would like to share, I met a pretty girl (attached) who is very nice to me and make me live in the way you never have been before. This is a very good bonus and I don’t expect too much. I believe that this is just another experience give by god to beautify my life. Sometime it is really very good to have such a good female friend. True enough, this case will make your mind wonder but know yourself and know her, thus not killing this friendship. (I screw up once. Once bitten twice shy.)
Well, if you don’t have the ‘fixed assets’ such as charm or the ability to talk and attract girls, you can try to improve on the variable aspect. Intellectuality or attempt a make over could be some ways.
Work hard and study hard. Make sure one day if people ask you what have you achieve in life, there is a very good answer. Along the way, you can keep on looking for the right one. Even if the one never come by, at least you have achieved something in life.
A simple guy leading a simple life.
Good luck my friends…

My week in thailand.....

Alan:

Hello.. its me again... and wah.... i c improvement to the blog.... The Ninja damn cool.... (although i still dun think its a ninja)... and another stressful post.... but hey!! Look on the bright side.... Though life is not fair in every aspect.... This is true... But lets say A has something better than B.... but i'm sure B also has something that A is lacking... so in overall aspect.... life is pretty fair.... if B is really has nothing better off than A, then too bad... Just think that there is always someone worse off than you.... There is no comparison among one another.... only if you compare with ppl... then you would find it not fair....

OMG... i'm blabbering away again..... Should be telling you about a week i had..... pretty happening... 1st ah.... my (family) car has been punctured by ppl..... I innitially thought it was an accident.... but having a screw and a nail on the same tyre on the same hole..... I think otherwise..... But who the culprit is I do not know... But really happy that i wasn't required to drive long distance that day.. imagine having a flat tyre on the road.... i'll be so ******....

Oh.. then my office held an annual dinner.. to celebrate the new year (belated) and also shows appreciation for the worker who had worked with the company... i saw alot... 1st is Thai ppl are very easily contended.. they are so happy even though the dinner was held at the factory itself (I was not contented when T-est held a thank you lunch at Comtech).... They partied so hard.... even though no disco light.... no dance music.... only ppl singing Karaoke (they are singers who we "rented" to entertain us)... but still the workers danced all night.... 2nd I think that Thai ppl aren't really good dancers... hehehhe... Jus Kidding... I could not do any better oso..... 3rd... Every staff gets a prize at the lucky draw... only big prize or small prize... Where T-est a bowling game for all... Sorry sorry... TWO games of bowling..... Haiz.... now i find T-est really lousy at worker's welfare......

Fairness will lead us to Nowhere....

Hmm feeling bored here. And something came across my mind and maybe I just share with you all. Ever heard of the phrase, “Life is so unfair”? It’s a common phrase that we all hear when things never go the way we want. Actually, I just want to share with you guys, my perception of that particular phrase. Have we ever given it a thought of how it will be if life is fair? For me, each time people say that to me, I will always think. If life were to be fair, you just imagine how it feels to be surrounded with only one gender. Imagine that there is only one kind of sex in life, example, Man. Every person on earth is similar in every way. The heights, the skin color, the voice, the looks, the strength, the attitude or rather in short, everything are the same. So if life is fair, we have nothing to think of or scared of anything. And is so, how do one reproduce its young? And if everyone are similar and look alike, then how are we to differentiate which are which? Well we want life to be fair isn’t it? Can you guys imagine seeing your clone? Everywhere? Just like robots except that they have no brains, only chips! Hahaha.

Anyway I just believe that things happen for a reason. There is a reason why God create man and woman (to reproduce another human kind on earth). Have you ever wondered why male are deemed as the stronger element of gender as compared to female? And some of us had even commented that both genders are equal. We are what we are now is thanks to our forefathers. Women before our time have fought for equality rights.
Even if so, what I think is that both genders can never have the equal rights. There is a reason why man and woman are born differently in terms of physically and mentally. Try to imagine yourself in a situation where you are married and live under the same roof with your spouse that is equal to you in everything. The term “strong” can be defined in a lot of ways. Not only in term of physical, but also on the mental strength. If both are strong-headed, who will win or who will give in? And when will their arguments end? If both are very physically strong, then who need each other’s help anyway? If both have the necessary emotional qualities to deal with almost with anything or everything, then do they need each other? If both have the influential or authoritative virtue of having power, then are the both of them able to listen? Who listen? Will there be peace? And why marry when they don need each other? So you get my point on the reason why men are stronger than woman? Think differently and life will be easier than expected.

Sweet and Smiling Always,
Rose

AKira and me

Year 2006 had past and I am saddened that I am still a student. Most of my friends are working full time in their company. I decided that I should start working although the salary was not very good. Stamping on the same spot is not me, thus I should move on quickly.
Year 2007, 3rd day, I got myself employed under a big firm, in Jurong. Pretty lucky actually as it was near my house and 30 minutes buy ride to my school in orchard. The people there were very friendly and they don’t cause invincible, unbearable and chaos to the environment.
As compared to the previous company, no one in the company complained about the management team. People still work overtime even they knew there will not be any overtime pay. I heard that employee stay with the company as long as 10 years. Goodness me, that is a long period of time.
Although I am hourly paid, sometime might hear me grumble, I begin to feel the bond between the company and me. There are times when my supervisor chases me home. Well, seeing my colleagues working overtime till 10 pm, hence, I begin to hate myself not in a position to help up and to speed things up, thus, everybody can go home early.
I think the best part is, the whole account department, there are only 3 guys. Ha-ha, in simple, I am surrounded with ladies. Anyway, nothing to be happy about as most of them is either married or in their 30s (I believe).
Hopefully, I can be converted to permanent staff soon.

Shame on You!!!

Shame on you!! All of you!!! This blog is dead... yet again... the last post was around 3 weeks ago!!! shame shame... And the last post... By our dear Little dragon girl... is so gloomy (glad to know that you've become stronger though)... I'm so depressed everytime i come in and see the same post for the last three weeks..... I was so depressed that i needed to see a psychiatrist, she taught me to rub my pressure point and say Woo Sah (You can try that when you're depressed or angry)....

I dunnoe how many of you still comes in here.. but nonetheless... I shall share with you (dunnoe how many of you exactly) my life here in Thailand.... which is as interesting as watching the grass growing on a soccer field.. watching the grass grow could well be more interesting....

Apart from the psychiatrist visit, golfing (learning... not good yet), working and catching a cold, I haven't done much really... I could tell you all about the golfing experience i had here, which would make my post as long as a book, but I wouldn't want to make you all waste money on some psychiatric treatment after reading my post...

Anyway on my life here.... Other than activities mentioned above, i also do reading... in all these 3-4 months I have done alot of reading... So many... a list of 3 books(Neil Humphrey's - He's Good... very good....), newspaper (Chinese, english, Thai), a few magazines (I decline to list the magazines i read), and comics (Loads of them.. all chinese..) (I dunnoe whether it is quality reading... but after coming to thailand, My normal reading load has increased.... By 3 Neil Humprey's books...)

I have never enjoyed reading any other newspaper more than reading Thai newspaper... The newspaper is very interactive.... Imagine having to ask someone beside me what does this means all the time.... I never had more interaction with ppl.... Maybe Singaporean can try... for example chinese buying a Malay paper.... or vice versa... it helps in certain way.... You get to interact with ppl more... and ocassionally you get something extra when the person you interact with is very disturbed by your behavior....

The place I'm staying at rite now.. Although not in the center of Bangkok, but still an excellent place, There's a Hypermart near my place, its called Big C (like Carrefour and Giant of Singapore but the only different is its a building all by itself, not in some shopping center).... I dunnoe how they get such a wonderful name... and so factual, straightforward name... and honestly, C is quite big to me....

Anyway Big C is a Hypermart with a cinema, a Bowling alley and Karaoke inside.. And loads of restaurants... Be it fast food or Steamboat or Japanese.... Pretty cool huh.... but hey.... I dun have anyone to go with.... =___= ... I do not Bowl, watch movie and Sing Karaoke all by myself.. I had never done so... and I wouldn't see myself doing all these activities alone anywhere in the near future... Nor would I go there and sit down alone all day to peek at girls at Big C....

I also do plenty of driving in thailand.... Driving in thailand.... is like a dare game... see who is more daring... more often, we would see the more daring side a winner, the winner gets: to overtake/ to change lane/ to U-turn/ to prevent loser from U-turn/ to prevent loser from overtaking/ to prevent the loser from changing lane. The prize does not sounds very rewarding to most of you out there. But try driving in thailand and you'll feel the importance of these prizes..... but of course there is an occasional draw, where both sides get at least a dent in the car...

Like ppl always say in Singapore... "who needs a sports car? drive sports car oso cannot drive fast what... sure kenna catch".... In thailand... their theory is the same...... only the last part is change to "sure kenna caught..... caught in traffic jam..."

Yoo Hoo... dunnoe how many of you actually manage to survive to this point of my post, I bet some of you had already been knocked out by my boredom... but on the bright side, it doesn't look too depressing... but this is about all i could say other than my golfing experience... I'm sure you all had more life in Singapore than i am having now... so pls do share....

PS. Dunnoe how many ppl still come to this blog.... if you see this post pls reply so I know you're there.... Especially those no longer in T-est one...
