Positive Thinking

One of my friends sent me an email. I find it meaningful and interesting.

Once there was a loving couple travelling in a bus in a mountainous area. They decided to get down at some place. After the couple got down, the bus moved on. As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was killed. The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus". Why do you think they said that?

I spent a couple of minutes trying to visualize the whole situation. I've been thinking what could be the things which the couple can benefit from the tradegy. Was the big rock a big diamond? Probably they owe loanshark money and their family can benefit from the generous insurance? I was wrong.. the answer goes this way...

Think...

If they had remained on the bus instead of stopping to get down, the resulting time delay could have been avoided, and the rock would have fallen after the bus had passed...

Always think positive in life and look for opportunities where you can help others. Many times in life, the oppositive of Success is not Failure, it's Quitting. Never expect things to happen. Work hard and make them happen!

Team Singapore

Team Singapore returned back to the Red Dot gracefully yesterday. For the past two weeks, the nation has been cheering for the team fighting for glory in Beijing. And to answer the call of the whole nation, our paddlers won a long overdue silver medal.

The nation is overjoyed.

The paddlers have immediately become instant icons. Hopefully their success will be able to spur more others who have the same dream to achieve more at the highest level.

I've always admired sportsmen who do their country proud. Other than the current famous three paddlers, Jiawei~Tianwei~Yuegu.. I, myself, is a great fan of Jocelyn Yeo! I ain't got any idea why I was attracted to this swimmer but the only reason might be her achievement in the sporting world. She has not just overcame obstacles to achieve the greatest but she convinced my admiration for her with a simple task in mind; outdo herself.

I used to say that during my futbol playing dayz; I do my best, I answer to my own performance... I don't believe people saying he would gladly give up his individual medal/honour in exchange for the team glory. To me, that sounds more like bullshit..

Nonetheless, do not write out of the context.. main topic should focus on the triumph of Team Singapore. Kudoz to the team!

Fair share of filming opportunity for the rest. Here in this pic, Cabell enjoyed that few seconds of glamour at Orchard Road.


Jonathan explained how and why he loves this job so much! Of course the director ensured he deleted the off-the-camera F-Word.


Cool.. I thought Amber looked like a DJ doing some broadcasting in the studio!

Tourism Insider

A pair of fearsome eyes welcomed me upon my arrival at the lobby. Deep inside, I was thinking, comon.. merely just a short filming why gave me such a serious stare from far! I was kinna nervous at my first involvement in filming and I'd say that pair of eyes from the host, Dasmond Koh, was not helping me lor.. Made people more kanjiong!

I was invited to be one of the profiles to be featured in a Channel 8 documentary show this coming September. This is my first ever attempt and I thought I've gained some once-in-a-blue-moon valuable experience. Of course the director and the host did guide me along the way too. In fact, once the ice was broken, I realised that Dasmond is a joker after all! His super cold jokes, addressing all aunties as "jie-jie" and etc.. I will always remember how he made fun of me and Dorcas in the hall! Right, Dorcas??

Throughout the shooting, I was kind of unnatural I supposed. Gonna wayang as if I'm interested in this and that.. but of course I'm not. After the entire shooting, at least I know how a filming process is like.. Gosh, it's tiring for sure! Overall it's fun.. So right now, let's wait for the show to be aired ya.. Ladies and Gentlemen, please mark this date on your calendar, 20 Sept, Channel 8! Timing to be advised!

Dinner in the Sunset with my cousin after watching that mummy movie. Movie was so so.. find it a bit draggy but overall thumbs up to certain extend.

These days, everybody has been busy with their work and study. Glad that both Hao & Hui are graduating soon. Time to step into the working society ya!

For Yan, maybe when business just started, times are rough. One step at a time. All the best to Educe!
