Quote of the Day


Finding good players is easy.

Getting them to play as a team is another story.

Opal Personality

Temperament
Flexible
Nothing seems to bother you - you sail through life crisis free. It's not that your life doesn't have its ups and downs, it's just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this.
Interests
Balanced
You are methodical, orderly and precise. You enjoy life most when it's uncluttered, predictable and certain. You have a noticeable propensity for detail and even the tiniest bit of disruption throws off your well maintained balance. In a world that can leave you feeling out of control and chaotic, you are a constant for yourself and for others. When all else seems to be changing, you tend to remain the same.
Amusement
Adventurous
It's a good thing that you are filled with energy and ambitions (that others sometimes find exhausting) because you're continually looking for a new adventure and exciting experience. You struggle with a continual feeling of restlessness which constantly pushes you to the next level of excitement. Once you have accomplished one thing, you are eager to accomplish something more exciting, riskier and distinguishable.
Passion
Emotional
For you passion is less about romance and sex - it's more about friendship and family. Strong emotional bonds and connections are your passion and your pleasure. You always let your loved ones know how much you love, respect and admire them. You do this through kind words, loving actions and simple gestures. You count your blessings each day and express your love openly. You expect the same from others

First Dive Trip - Pulau Aur

12 October 2007,
we are departing Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to live onboard on Samudra Quest for 3 days 2 nights to AUR for our open water trip.



This our bunk, where 5 of us roomed in and the place where i got bitten by bed bugs again... why am i always the one.. :(




13 October 2007,
This Pulau AUR. First thing in the morning, we had our first dive at 0805 at Pulau Lang, for 22 mins @ the max dept of 9m and we surfaced for our breakfast at Aur diver lodge. This is my first dive, of course intially was quite nervous when i was about to jump, but after the first step, i'm loving it. It's cool and relax. and there we go ascending. For this dive, we learnt to clear mask, my first time clearing is a mess but my second try was perfect. :) Then need to drop our regulator and pick that up again. Our second training dive at the Pulau Aur house Reef at 10m something. The place where we saw this medium size turtle swimming across. This time deeper and with one intervals and about 30 somthing minutes we surfaced for lunch ard 11. Learning experience for the second dive was to use the underwater compass and the SESAR thing which i hate. anyway.. after lunch and our third dive at Telok Jawa for abt 57 minutes with the max dept of 19m. All underwater temp at 29 degree celcius.

14 October,
we had our we 2 experience dives and we are improving. I can control my movement better, playing around with fishes and corals. There is this fish that came straight to my mask and bang on to me. lol... it's fun. Lobster hiding in the caves, nemo swimming around the corals. and this christmas tree like fishes, and many many other interesting underwater moments. too bad i don't have a underwater camera, if not i think i would have taken thousands of pics in my 2 experience dives.

I had my theory exams onboard and finally passed, I am now a certified diver who can although dive max 20 metres underwater. But I'm lovng forward to my next dive and yes i'm loving it.

~ Life is so wonderful... we just need to eat,dive,sleep and eat, dive sleep....

Quiet Time

Finally i find some time for a quiet time after so many things happening and busy busy days. I have not been keeping in contact with some friends and spending time with God. I took this opportunity spending time alone at my favorite place. With the Sun, Sky and Sea, I love this kind of feeling and i really miss it. I felt great dipping in the sea thinking of nothing.

Although there are things that happened which makes me upset, but however i am glad that God loves me and give me a good working place, good bosses, colleagues, friends and my family. He's there for me and din forsake me. I felt that, only when we start to appreciate things and people around us, then we will be happy. When things turn bad, the best is to turn to God, because, he won't betray or forsake us. hmm.. anyway

I have many things to look forward, the next big thing for me, would be my next diving classes and my FIRST open water diver and then the diving exams.

Next would be my school exams and finally my family trip to AUZI!!!

Cool.. That's my life and I'm loving it. although life is short and we don't know if there is tomorrow, we just have to live the fullest each days with no regrets!

* Tonight I had dinner with grandma and I really treasure everyday, every moment with grandma. May God bless grandma with good health. If I could, i would share my lifespan with grandma and we can spend more time together. I love my grandma. :)

Opal is Hearbroken

BE prepared. this will be a long post. as Opal is now heartbroken. deep deep hurt. it may appear to you a small issue but it's hurting me alot. Because i treasure friendship and i believe trust is very important to sustain a friendship. and i have lost one friend. Let me share with you what happened and u can share your thots later.

I had once considered him as a good friend of mine. He is living alone in Singapore with no many friends here. Somedays i see him quite upset and once i saw his teary eyes after listening to one repeated songs for umpteen times a day. I am concerned for this friend of mine and i thought maybe i could help him.

During leisure time, i would also include him in our activities be it sports, makan or shopping. to make him feel at home and at least he won't feel alone. Remember one day over dinner, i thought our friendship is true enough to be oen. I asked if he has any problem and what is his problem. if he missed his family or ...relationship problem... then he mentioned that he had before a 6 yrs long girlfriend and had broken up. i asked him where is his gf now, he told me in KL. as a friend i comforted him and told him to take it easy and not to be upset. ..bla bla *somemore i told the other friend of mine that i felt guilty for asking him this and making him upset.

days passed and one day he msn me and asked if he can ask me a question. He asked if it's possible for him to be my bf for 2 months! i was like... $*&%*$&%# i told him i prefer to be friend. and he was saying it won't affect my studies and why not try 1 month. i told him again that i am not interested in relationship. .. and he asked me to share with him how to forget a past relationship. somemore like real, i told him that it takes time and most importantly to be fair, not to engage in a new relationship to forget a old one. and bla bla bla...

the next day he told me again he fell in love with me! i told him to stop asking and it's not possible between us. GUess what he say!

He told me that he rate me 6/8 and i am a socialable, open-minded bla bla ... i was busy and did not reply to his msg. He began to felt guilty and told my other friend that he made me angry and he is only testing our friendship. and i am just the 1st target then they will be next! i was so angry to know this..

sometime later he smsed me and told me that actually he lied to me. he did not broke off with his gf and is still with her. i got even more upset than angry. HE lied to me !!! i trust him as a friend and i was trying to help him, but in return what i got were all lies. one after another!! which version shld i believe that it's truth?

due to what happened in the past, i really treasure people around me, every friendship. as we won't know what will happened tomorrow. you may just lose them and i don't want to take things or people for granted. i treat everyone sincerely and want to give my best to them but why this happened ? i am upset i lost one friend, but i can't convince myself to forgive as with no trust, it's no longer friendship. and i can't convince myself to trust him again.

I hope he could learnt a lesson from this and he won't do the same thing again to other person. He will lose a friend for what he had done. it may or may not be important to him. but at least i think this is what i can do now. to make him learnt his mistake and the consequences. having to lose one friend 'me', i hope he will be more sincere next time to his friends and appreciate them and don't lie.

Given u my situation, what will you do?

Read this somewhere on web:
Friendship is a blessing...

Friendship is a blessing, and a friend is the channel through whom great emotional, spiritual, and sometimes even physical blessings flow. Friends will cheer us when we’re sorrowful or depressed. Friends will challenge us to attain our orginal limits with encouragement when we allow ourselves not to go beyond our reasonable boundaries. Friends will motivate us when we’re ready to give in, and they can provide for us when life falls apart. Friends are there when all is well, and we want someone with whom to share life’s pleasant and memorable moments. We often just want them around, to have a good time, to laugh, to act silly, to enjoy some mutually liked activity. In how many ways have friends enriched our lives and made us feel loved, accepted, respected and cared for? Probably, too many to list, and the list grows daily.

When you act silly with friends around they also comes and join you and get the enjoyment that you are getting. In the dictionary of friendship there is no word named sorrow. Friends will enter into that word and friends break the word into peices. They motivate us to attain our goal. They will stand by our side when you need a support. you will tell about a girl/guy whom you love and will ask for help for the love. You can't tell the same to parents or any other before the love starts. In our life deciding factor also there is a friend and his/her friendship is helping you. When you get problem in that love all others will run from u but not your bet friend. They help us by challenging( a challenge which motivates us) and also motivates us for reaching our aim.

When you are in college or studies you ask doubts in the subjects not to the professor but to a friend. Friends never says no to anything. They will try to help us and try to solve the doubts. When you play a friend is the first person to cheer you when you do a record. Friends will be the first to treat us without any jealous mind. friends consider the record of yours as theirs and they feel happy by telling about the record to others. In life we share most of the time with friends. We can't share some topics with our parents but we can share any topic, with friends. friends research that topic as a judge and tell us the good's and bad's

I rather have
have a few deep and loyal friends, than many superficial ones. Others thrive best when friends are everywhere and numerous. It is not so much the number of friends that is important as is the possession of friends, period. Loyal and deep friendship is good. It doesn't care about the numbers, Even if you have one loyal trustable friend. it is better than to have hundreds of untrustable, superficial friends. With the trusted friends we can discuss our problem areas and get ideas for solving them also. These friends share their time with us to solve problems. But when you have lots of friends who are not loyal or trustable it is the case of the person who is not having any friends. Even after having hundreds of friends our mind can't able to find real, trustable friends.

Singapore Flag

Took Some conference participants to Singapore City tour this morning. and i got this question.. what does the Singapore flag symbolized. I roughly remember some but forgotten what's the crescent for. Let see this research info i got from http://www.sg/explore/symbols_flag.htm.


Its Origin
The national flag was unveiled on 3 December 1959, together with the state crest and the national anthem, at the installation of the new Head of State, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. It was created by a Committee led by then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye. It replaced the Union Jack, which had flown over Singapore for 140 years (1819-1959). Upon Singapore's independence in 1965, it was adopted as Singapore's national flag.

Its Meaning

The flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, red above white. In the upper left section are a white crescent moon, and five white stars forming a circle. Each feature of the flag has its own distinctive meaning and significance.

Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of man.

White signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue.

The crescent moon represents a young nation on the ascendant.

Five stars stand for the nation's ideals of
democracy,
peace,
progress,
justice
equality.

National Day Parade (Preview)

14th July 2007 :: National Day First Preview @ Marina Bay

Thank you bro Eugene and Sis Eileen for giving me a pair of tickets to this very first preview. Although there is alot of stimulated and it's not a full rehearsal, but i am glad i got this special chance to be there. I really enjoy this year show compared to other years. This year is very special, maybe b'cos it's at Marina and the world biggest water platform stage. There is alot of water effects and other effect which is very different from Kallang. And it's cooler @ Marina, not so hot and stuffy. The queue was very fast too. it's lots of improvement but of course there will be still room for improvement :) But two very stupid thing that i did was:- 1. Forgotten to charge my D70 battery Pack. (Before the show really begin, my batt went flat) one cons' of D70 is i won't know my battery life! i got to risk and assume that it's not flat or full? Lucky I brought canon ixus850 with me. but quite abit of noise in the pics. haiz :( 2. Forgotten to bring a tripod for night and firework scene. haiz. how i wish i could be there again. Anyone got any tickets to spare me again?? :)

here's the show:-




More pics coming...

HFMD

Aiyo... I got 2,3,4,5 uclers and fever, I went to see doctor and guess what doctor dignosed...
HFMD= Hand foot mouth disease. I thought this only happen to children, why me?? hmm.. i am still young.. hahaha

anyway this week is not a good week for me.. attended 3 wakes in a row..
1. a 1.5yrs baby boy. passed away due to virus attack. it's like a normal cough and flu @ first and was hospitalized for two months. at the later stage, the virus infected the brain and that's what caused the death. *so sad when i see him at the wake

2. my 25yrs friend who met a motorbike accident and died after serious brain injury

3. my friend granddad who was healthy always, passed away suddenly after marketing in the morning.

Conclusion:-
1. people who pass on, can be young, old or.... no age limit
2. life is unpredictable, we got to really treasure our loves ones.
3. I must love everyone around me and pray for them everyday
4. Forget about yesterday and do not think about tomorrow. Life maybe only TODAY!

What thoughts you have?

Increase to Reduce Weight

One fine day I realized perhaps I am not a very disciplined person. Thus I set a goal for myself to achieve. The reason is simple, in order to achieve my goal, I must be discipline.

Goal: To lose 5Kg within a month |
Date Start
: 21 June 2007

While trying to achieve my goal, I do some research and found something to share:-


Ways To Lose Weight

1. Reduce on Carbo Intake
2. Increase Metabolism Rate

How to Increase Metabolism Rate?

  1. Build Muscle Mass Strength training builds lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories at work or at rest, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The more lean muscle you have, the faster your metabolism will be. How do you start strength training? Try some push-ups, or a few squats or lunges. Use 5 lb. free weights to perform simple biceps curls or triceps pulls. Do these exercises three to four times per week, and you'll soon see a boost in your metabolism as well as an improvement in your physique.
  2. Do Not Skip Meals or Drastically Reduce Your Caloric Intake If your body senses that food is in short supply, it will slow your metabolism to conserve energy. Over time, the result is that when you do eat (even if you consume the same foods as always) your body will be slower to use the calories as fuel, thus creating a backlog of unwanted pounds. A good strategy is to cut your caloric intake by no more than 500 calories per day and never less than 1200 calories total each day. Once you determine your goal for calorie consumption, divide those calories into 6 different small meals/snacks through out the day.
  3. Increase the Amount of Protein in your Diet
    Most researchers agree that protein helps to stabilize the secretion of insulin into your blood stream, a process that can affect metabolism. The average person would benefit from protein intake at a minimum of 70 grams or higher each day.
  4. Aerobic Workout 3 Days a Week
    Even though exercise doesn't affect your RMR, the extra calories you burn could add up to an additional 1-2 pounds of weight loss per month.
  5. Increase Movement in Daily Lifestyle
    The more you move, the more you burn! You can actually make a significant addition to the number of calories you burn each day by relatively minor changes in lifestyle. This can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator; park a distance from the mall or office; window-shop with your best friend rather than sit over coffee; walk the dog instead of just let him out; do a little gardening or clean house while you talk on the phone. Making these types of changes for just 20 minutes of your day will cause you to burn an additional 100 calories per day or an additional pound per month. Making more of these changes can help you burn as much as an additional 1,000 calories per day!
  6. Go For an Evening Walk
    Although exercising any time is good for you, evening activity may be particularly beneficial. Many people's metabolism slows down toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three hours. What that means for you: those dinner calories have less of a chance to take up permanent residence on your hips!
  7. Get Adequate Sleep
    As funny as it sounds, sleep deprivation may make you fat and not just because you're susceptible to cases of the late-night munchies. According to researchers at the University of Chicago, women who got less than four hours of sleep per night had a slower metabolism than those who slept for a full eight hours.

Dealing With Problematic People

I failed myself again. I admit it's my mistake to lose my cool, but i really lost control. I told myself, this blog would be my memories, I would only want to remember things that are good. But this time I am going to make an exception. Just for once, b'cos i thot this would be a good learning experience and i should remember this as well.

People who happened to read this blog, to you believe that there is really double-headed snake, backstapper, people who in-order to protect themselves, will just push you down the drain, people who will go all ways to bring you down.

I was once a person who trust people easily, i believed that no matter how, the person is overall good in nature, environment caused them to react this way. But what happened lately and what i experienced in the past, woke me up. I shall not be so naive and trust people so easily. The more i trust, the more prone to getting hurt. Thus, I told myself, I should change in order to protect myself too. But i hope i am not changing to worse.

Received the following email from A slice of life and felt it's good to share, if i can achieve that, i think i will be a better person. and I will be working towards that. other than that, my doctor told me, " we are working so hard for the company, stressing ourselves, what is the purpose? In the end, by the time we are old, we have to leave the company....so we should enjoy and live a happy life!"
--------------------------------------------------------
Dealing With Problematic People
We have to bear the responsibility for most of the problems we face in life, but it'd be foolish to believe that other people are not the occasional causes of them.
Take for example the driver who cuts unexpectedly into your lane. Or a petulant child who just won't listen to reason. What about the colleague who seems to have a bone to pick with you even though you've given him no reason to do so?
We can't please everyone and certainly there will be people who will dislike you for inscrutable reasons. Or people who want to get under your skin just because they can. So what can we do about these people?
First of all, remember that if someone is getting on your nerves, chances are that they do want to upset you or simply don't care how you feel. So anger is not an option. Why punish yourself for someone else's carelessness or malice?
So if that person is not putting you or anyone else in danger, learn to laugh at the situation. Maybe even joke with him about it. If that person's intent was to make you angry, he would've failed, and if his expectation was that you would react aggressively, he would be surprised. He might even become your ally because he admires your attitude.
Second, most so-called "problematic" people are just yearning for attention, or crying out for help. This is their way of paying back the world for how they think the world is making them feel. If you react negatively, you are giving them what they want.
So, surprise them. Speak gently to them. Listen to them. Even give them small favours. You have nothing to lose, and you may have defused a human time-bomb in the process.
In dealing with problematic people, it's important not to perceive them in the conventional way - that they are disruptive elements that should be attacked or removed. This is the common reaction they get and exactly the kind of attention they want.
Instead of focusing on their negative behaviour, look for the things they do well. Maybe the guy who makes jokes about you also tends to work late at the office, paying attention to the finer details. Buy him supper! Talk to him about his work, his late-night work habits, his interests. People like talking about the things they're proud of. He'll start opening up. He'll stop seeing you as a thorn in his side.
Certainly your job is not making friends out of enemies, but if you could, why not? It'll make life a whole lot easier.
You can't control how others behave, but you can control how you react to them.

Roller Coaster Rides



It's been a while since i really write. And I like to talk about something which everyone of us would have experience = Life!

How you describe Life?
Life is sometime sour
Life is sometime sweet
Life is sometime bitter
Life is sometime **hot (exciting)
Life is so precious
Life is so unpredictable and beyond our control.

Life is like an exam everyday. It will put you to test, if you fail, you would bound to repeat the same test again, until you really learn a lesson from that test.

Life = a Ticket to a roller coaster ride.
The moment when we are in our mother's womb, someone had already planned for us which roller coaster ride we should be taking. Once we are ready to take the ride, out from our mother's womb begins our ride.

Initial part of the ride is smooth, fun and the feeling was good. After sometime, excitement or fear begins, there would be Ups and Downs, 360 degree turn, sometimes the 'excitement' made us felt awful, and would want to stop the ride, but we got no choice, because we are already on the ride, so we got to hang on. after we gotten used to the Ups and Downs, we would get to enjoy the rest of the rides without fear. and finally the ride will stop.

OR for some, they actually enjoyed the ride all the way and they had fun throughout the ride. Because they knew that they are in good hands and will have a safe journey, so they choose to enjoy the ride.

For some, the ride is short or for some is long. But, it will still come to a stop. Or there maybe many kind of ppl on the same ride but the feeling or after feeling would be different for each of us. However, when the ride is complete, we will have to alight, even for some who had enjoyed the ride and would like to continue, they got to buy another ticket and queue for the next ride.

Moral of the ride story:-
Since you are on the ride and can't get down half-way, must as well sit down and enjoy the fun of the ride, take it easy, trust that you are in good hands and complete the ride. Cos fear, grumble won't do you any good cos it won't help you in any way.
No matter how long the ride would be,
No matter how many Ups and Downs,
No matter you enjoy or dislike the ride,
Remember that, the ride will come to a stop.
Most importantly, in the first place, you chose to queue for the RIDE!
