Attempted to google  for pictures like I always do and... this came up, 99% SJ, excluding the fats ^^ Actually was on-route to our (Dad and mine) bi-weekly Lions XII game @ the Jalan Besar stadium, caught up with the topic on owning a car. The usual father and son topics, cars, footie, tech stuff ~ Then I began to wonder, like how can someone afford a Porsche? A brand new Cayenne or a 911 cost about 280k - 400k depending on the model and edition, FYI you can own it for only 10years. Something struck me, I haven't been working hard at all ---> school definitely. I work hard at work, I play hardest, and I even eat hard ^^ and slept hard. The usual Korean drama often showcase how the poor worked their ass off with their ridiculous 12 work hours and 6 hours of school excluding transportation and sleep, which simply meant they usually get 4 hours of sleep. It seemed pretty real, just looked at how much sleep our girls had in the early 2007/2008 period. And, in ridiculous com...

Life itself is fragile, no one knows what's going to happen the next second. Like the great M1 slogan said before, One Life Live It. Or the great spoof quote from Kim Jae Dong "You live for tomorrow? I'm only living for today" At dinner, a prelude of how my life, at 60 would be like. I had 3 grandchildren, all aged younger than 5, I've just survived a huge heart attack, recovered and was on my way home. I hurried my 2 sons and 1 daughter to buy me Hokkien Mee, Cha Kway Teow and sugarcane juice. They didn't reply, merely back faced me and kept walking, my grandchildren started tugging my pants and begged me to stop, telling me they didn't want to lose me and they'll miss me so much. I didn't even think twice, smile, pat their heads and said "I've to go some day, you'll have to miss me one day, why not now when you still have the best memories of me. I'll love you all more than yesterday, today, and more than today, to...

4 months ago, I dread going to work, called in "sick" a lot, hated my job. I don't even care if there's a public holiday in the week these days. That was how much things have changed. A big thank you to the grad buddy I've met, and to Ms Cheong, who tried to get me more involved in the team. Of course the lack of a true leader meant stewardship was lacking, but in times of struggle, teamwork and team spirit was formed; truly what I am really looking for. That surge of drive to want to complete the tasks, the thriving pressure to deliver assignments by deadlines, that was what I signed up for. I didn't show much enthusiasm to begin with, that I've never deny my actions. Moving from such a independent role with control, responsibility and empowerment, I left to venture into a larger pond, hoping for a more challenging role. Yet what I got, was then, a "filling in" role. I think I did went to a wee bit of depression for a while, the emptiness ...

Been firing blanks  for the last 3 attempts when I've logged into my own blog, started with a few topics, mind was completely blank. Anyhow, first an update on my life. My contract with Deutsche Bank has been extended to 31 July 2013, as at 12 June 2013, I'd have been with the Bank for 1 full year, accomplished my initial target of etching the full year on my CV. Korea is done, not over, flights and accommodation are confirmed, lucky bastard got a cheap flight from Changi Airport -> KLIA -> Seoul for freaking $537.00NETT. Friend paid $570ish to fly via scoot keke ! So happened to be on MAL site and noticed the 24hr promo. School has officially ended, come April or rather, after this weekend, it'd be crunch time. Management Accounting is the tough nut to crack, there's a ACCA undergrad sis at home, hope I'll be able to pass. A few gadgets died. Dropped my phone on a cab, gone for good, been phoneless for 2 full weeks, ain't any inconvenience to me...
