Oh wells. As our client just asked if we can do it on Tuesday, and we told them that we would be compiling a proposal right away. And after today, we're even more confident that we can do it.
From this week onwards, we shall be having our internal WIP and to-do list, and I shall submit a weekly report to Gary at the end of every week. This is because I realise that I have yet to optimise my time when I work at home. My sleeping timing has been screwed up since forever, and I feel that I need to have a good work life balance. That means having enough hours of sleep ( 5 at most ) and a bit of time to de-stress, socialise and of course exercise. My weight has gone out of hand, due to this
How many times have we let opportunities pass us by, because of our ego? Pride. Because we think we're better than that. Because we think we're so superior and good. Relationships. Work. Even in school. There are a lot of times when we choose not to back down, to step back, to say that we're sorry. To admit our mistakes. To be more apologetic. To be harder on ourselves. I say we only live once. And if it's sad if we just let those moments pass us by, and then we regret we din do anything about it. Sigh. Therefore, ask the question. Raise that hand. Stir the mix. Rock the boat. Ask the girl out. Get a life. Start that company. Do something. It's better to have been there done that and fail, than to talk about it all day, and die with knots in your heart, knowing that you could have done better.
Yesterday, I sort of celebrated my graduation with a treat by Cindy at Bakerzin. I can vaguely remember the day which I got into NUS, in 2005, after Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I never thought I would come into NUS Business School. This is all thanks to Mr. Peter Tang from NP, who guided me into the right path, to request for an interview etc. Due to my minor achievements with SGEventors together with Eugene Heng, Cindy, Pardeep and Alex Seah, I manage to secure my place in NUS BBA. It was a dream come true, considering how i was pt down by my mum back in around 1998, when we were in Orchard and I told her I'll study here one day. Given my poor results and my interest in all other things other than the textbooks, she managed to extrapolate them and she said i will never make it.
I surprised myself, and whole lot of other people. And now, i can say it's nothing. Getting a degree is nothing, if you have gotten one, and you don't know how many others are fighting to get it. I know the value, and I know that I should have studied harder. If i get a chance to relive my NUS life again, I would study harder. Haha. Maybe not. Maybe wont waste my time playing so many games. I remembered there was this one semester when Need For Speed Underground was launched few days right before my first paper, and I finished it before my first paper. Lol. That's when you have hardcore gamers as cluster mates. Haha.
And so, that journey has ended, and I am excited. People say don't be too anxious to step into the working world. I say I jumped in long time ago, and now i'm just doing it full time. Without distractions. Without exams. without the travelling. without the pressure of school :D I am loving it. Meet new clients. Solve their problems. See new business opportunities. I hope this enthutiasm never dies. but then , i have felt this way since 2004. So i doubt it will :D Just need nudge sometimes. U know what i mean. like i am enthu, but i work best with a partner, and currently that partner is Gary. When AlexS comes back in July, I will enjoy another familiar aura. Can't wait.
And so, a friend wrote something about love and i feel that it's very well written. I think it's very common for girls to want to find a guy who loves them more than they do. It's because they want the security, and the assurance that he will be there. They need to know that they can trust them with their life. Fair enough. I think this is fair enough, for girls who are looking for someone to marry. Who wants to find life partners. Who are not out looking for flings. Come on. Don't lie to yourself. Don't talk bout the future, marriage, kids and retirement if you're on a fling. Don't break ppl's hearts and souls.
Have you ever been in a relationship where the future seemed so bright ? The wedding day. The house. The decorations. The details. The fabric of the bedsheets. The windows curtains. The children. The in-laws. The cousins. The mothers. The plan about the future.
together.I had it all not too long ago.
Today i had a glimpse of it again. At Novena Square. everywhere I looked, i saw parents with kids. and gary was talking to his would be wife. Ha. I smiled. I managed to imagine myself in their shoes in a split second. Kids and all. And then i snapped myself back to reality. I whispered to myself : perhaps not in this lifetime.
Oh well. Was at jurong point yesterday, and i observed a very different segment of society. That group of people are mostly single, and they seem so unhappy. Why?
Haha. Love, like any other powerful weapons, is a double edged sword.
It's perhaps, really a learning process. Hopefully we dun take too many lessons to learn though.
