Mid Autumn festival

October 3, 2009 kruder Leave a comment

And so it is… time to start the ball rolling. I am happy with how things have turned out. Could have been better but then sometimes, you can’t have the best of everything. I tried. At least I tried. I gave it all and that is all it matters. I believe it will be exciting times in the coming months.

2009 has been a year of self discovery, reflections and improvements.  I have gone through several periods of ups and downs, obstacles and challenges. Facing them head on and over-coming them. It was not an easy ride. It was tough at times and depressing too but I am proud of myself that I made it though. It was one big lesson of life and I am glad I took it. I have learnt alot about myself. I read books, I studied, I took exams, I passed, I failed, I saw my friend’s mom passed away and the pain he went through made me realised the fragility of life. It made me think hard about my own life, my relationships with my loved ones, colleagues and friends and how sometimes, I am so caught up with ‘trival’ matters such as money, deadlines, climbing corporate ladders, stupid train systems, idiots on the street, that I lose sight of the bigger picture and depriving myself the true meaning of living.

I want to experience life to the fullest. To make the best out of it. Of course, life is never a bed of roses. It never was, never is and never will be. We just have to face them as they come. It would be painful, it would cause distress and misery but we should not let that affect our well-being, our relationships and how we view life itself.

I am contented with my life and I am lucky to have the most gorgeous woman in my life and my family, despite their flaws, is always there for me no matter what. Life is as such, you control the destiny and paint the world a picture through your eyes.

I passed the friggin exam. Thank God. Feel so happy about it after receiving the exam result. Instant feedback. I like. 1 down, 2 more to go. I can’t wait to get them all done and dusted.

Next thing on my mind.. when will I get a response. The wait can be quite agonising sometimes.

How do you know if you are leading a fulfilling life? What is your expectations and how is that benchmarked against your standards and level of satisfaction?

I amazed with the crowd out on the street on a Friday. Even tho it’s the weekend, it’s still a working day!

I was surprised with the crowd turnout at the Isetan golf sale.Everyone seems to be taking a long lunch break or something and trying out different clubs and looking for golf bargains. I got myself a pair of adidas golf shoes to replace the nike ones that literally broke into pieces. I also got myself a putt too! Long overdued!

Very happy with my purchases and shopping! It is not often you can shop like that on a weekday on your own, at your own pace, your own time.

The Kop comes to Asia

July 26, 2009 kruder Leave a comment

Despite feeling low about myself, I have decided to get out of the house and head to the soccer game this evening. To watch Liverpool play against the Singapore team. It has been more than 10 years since I watch the Reds played in Singapore. The last time was in 1991 where I got to see  John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Ian Rush and Co played against The Gunners in the Caltex Cup. I was only 13 then… This time around in 2009. about 18 yrs later.. I am heading to the National Stadium once more. Now at the age of 31. How interesting to see the age number switched around.

I am hoping for an exciting game tonight. At least, it will take mind off the domestic issues I am facing at the moment. I am still deprive of sleep. If this continues, I don’t know what else I should do.

Anyway, I am going to pop myself some pills and hope that everything will turn out fine.

Moving on…

So much has changed in Orchard within the time I was away. Huge shopping malls. Fancy bars and restaurants. Whilst it adds new life to the city, I wonder how much of these are sustainable? I do not see much that differentiate one from the other. Everything seems similar to me. Or either that I am just fussy.

moving on….

Liverpool game is tomorrow. Been reading the news about their arrival and stay and how fans are excited about them. It is funny that I am feeling normal about it. Have I lost that feeling? The passion for the team. Perhaps, tomorrow’s visit to the National Stadium will change all that. Having said that, it is still one of my dreams to watch a game @ Anfield. To be part of the English premier league atmosphere. to watch 90mins of football action from the Kop Stand.

moving on…

It used to be blogs that were the craze in everyone’s life. livejournal, wordpress, movabletype, blogger… however, we have since moved on to something more real-time, live updates… friendster started the network phenomenon… then facebook came along and changed everything, along the way we have myspace and now we have twitter. everything, anything, whatever that is on yr mind, can be updated online almost immediately. verbalise and documenting your thoughts from wherever you are. No more boundaries, no time barriers. Everything is happening this very moment.

moving on…

I guess I am still a bit of traditionalist who has not embarked on twitter. It is amazing how ppl can afford to update their facebook, friendster, myspace, twitter the whole time. This guys must have very effective time management skills.
