Never stop trying
Asher Book - Try
If i walk, would you run?
If i stop, would you come?
If i say you're the one, would you believe me?
If i ask you to stay, would you show me the way?
Tell me what to say so you don't leave me.
The world is catching up to you
While you're running away to chase your dream
It's time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
And maybe i'm not ready
Chorus
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough
If i sing you a song, would you sing along?
Or wait till i'm gone, oh how we push and pull
If i give you my heart would you just play the part
Or tell me it's the start of something beautiful.
Am i catching up to you?
While your running away to chase your dreams
It's time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
And maybe I'm not ready
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough
I will try for your love
I can hide up above
If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come
If i say you're the one would you believe me.
A perfect song to remind yourself to never stop.
If i walk, would you run?
If i stop, would you come?
If i say you're the one, would you believe me?
If i ask you to stay, would you show me the way?

While you're running away to chase your dream

2009
End of a 5 day break from work. Have to say, I miss working. Time passes faster, and I actually do feel more productive. (Not that my work is really that fulfilling)
Let's talk about work first. Had my year end review, and grade was really bad. There were various reasons given and offered to me, but none of them satisfactory. It irks me to think that the grading wasn't done entirely by one's performance but partly based on other factors out of one's control. On those points that I am lacking, yes, I admit my flaws. Others, well, all I can say is try again next year. When I first knew my grade, I was unable to disguise my shock and wasn't able to comprehend the situation. In retro sight, it would have been better I had not shown such a spectacular display of disbelief and confusion on my face. Whatever it is, I have got to live with it. After all, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ( Or maybe you are just plain lucky)
Had a good run with 2009. Got a job with decent salary, still having the same girlfriend, family is great. Things are good in general. But never take things for granted, and I believe one has to work really hard. But yea, Life is Great ( Line stolen from Great Eastern)
I know my thoughts are all over the place, but I will just pen down the first thing that comes to my mind.
New year resolutions?
1. Financial Planning
1.1 Trade
1.2 Business
2. Fulfill secret resolutions with her. Written on paper, and posted on my wall. Physical wall. Don't bother looking at my Facebook.
3. Meet up with old friends.
4. Actually win the big sweep.
And most importantly, be happy.

Muse
Unknown to most people, I worry quite a lot. I know most people whom I know, think I am all smiles. Especially the people in the office seem to always ask why I keep smiling when I reach my desk. Not that I am trying to put up a front or something, but I honestly enjoy going in to work every day. Sometimes when I have issues at work, or maybe some requests are more interesting to handle, I even get excited. Especially since if I am the only one who is handling it. It makes me feel like I am really working and earning my keep.
There are a couple of things keeping me awake at 3 in the morning.
Firstly, health related issues. Lately a colleague of mine had a scare, which she has to possibly remove her womb if there are cancerous cells detected. Thankfully, it was nothing serious. But then I keep thinking about girlfriend and family. I kept thinking what will happen if something bad like that happens to the people I love. I would imagine that girls in general, would feel incomplete if the organ which defines them as a woman is gone and their right to motherhood is denied by something beyond their control. I find it scary if it is to happen to my girl. However, since that time I thought about this issue, I decided I would have to abandon the olden conservative ways of thinking about family. Some Chinese, or rather most traditional Chinese families want their male child to bear children to continue to family line. I would imagine some men, would leave their spouse or girlfriend for someone healthy. But not me. I can never do that.
If something really happens to girlfriend, or even something happened to me, and we can’t have children, I would guess adoption is still an option to us. I can’t profess to love kids, but I think children complete a family, a way that no pet can. Modern thinking has lead to people keeping dogs or cats and treating them like a child. I like cats, yes. But not to that extend. Similarly, I am worried about my sisters. I heard someone told me before that a friend’s cousin contacted something similar when she was only 20 years old. My sisters are around that age.
But if fate really gave us a bad hand, I already worked out a plan of sorts.
Any operation or consultation would need money.
With my current (lack of) savings, I doubt I can afford any medical treatment.
Sorry to say, but I think will borrow money from a few selected friends if need be. I figured, any treatment would cost on the upwards of 10grand, and I am prepared to work hard to get that sum of money. Or if I cannot, there is always cash line loans from banks. Interest payment is only a secondary concern compared to health matters of girl and family.
I know it’s silly or even overly ambitious of me to be thinking about this, but I am aiming for a management role after a year. If I can get that, I sincerely believe these monetary issues would be somewhat settled.
This brings to another concern, my work. Work is fine in general, sometimes though, I feel overshadowed by my team mates, yet at times, I seem to be doing just fine. Guess they say, sometimes, it just ain’t your day. A huge mark against me, would be my dismal IPPT results, which results in remedial training on Tuesday and Sunday due to start in December. Sunday is of no worries, but Tuesday night would affect my work due to the timing. Of course I am not pleased about this, but who can I blame but myself? This is why I have decided to sign up for a gym membership, likely with California fitness very soon. Comparing the cost, it is really attractive and I believe it would greatly aid in my training. Moreover, if girlfriend decides to sign up together, we can go for classes together on the weekend. Girlfriend claims that she is getting fat, which I disagree, but I do think it would be great if she exercises more. To her credit, she has been jogging in the nearby park these weeks, and I am extremely proud of her for her effort.
Girlfriend seems to be very troubled. I think the fact that we are working different hours is still very hard for her adjust. Not that she is sticky, but just maybe we are used to seeing each other often after work, especially since we work in the same building. Especially compounded by the fact that girlfriend doesn’t have much hobbies compared to me.
For me I do a bit of light reading if I can’t sleep, or surf online for stuff, or do the occasionally Dota game from time to time. Sometimes I plan. Or plot. Haha. I am just kidding. Sometimes I just wonder about stuff. About property prices or I daydream about winning the lottery. I don’t approve of gambling, but with ten million dollars at stake, I guess I can forsake my principles (and ten bucks) for a shot at that collective sum of money. Sometimes i think about stupid things to cheer girlfriend up. I know my biceps aren't bigger, but I just want to make her smile. Sometimes i say silly things like that.
I think there are some issues we have to settle, but I am glad, despite the problems we went through; we still have something concrete that no one can take away. You know, I used to think about my future.
Now I think about our future.

I remember the day when I wanted the garden to make it big.
I think it's time to go back to the dream.

Perm.
I don't know why
But it seems like, I kinda need a new goal in life.
For those who don't know yet, congratulations to myself for landing a perm job at the current company.
Granted, it was the only aim that i wanted when I was doing contract there. But now that I have achieved that singular task which I aimed for since the first day at work, I now feel a unprecedented feeling of being lost. Always told the girlfriend that one have to aim for something in life. Now is my turn to ponder about what's next to aim for. Million and one things I want to achieve.
Baby steps they say.
Meanwhile, I can't wait for the next payday! =)
Promised myself, that I will spend the entire amount.
Sounds crazy, but I think I deserve it. Ha!
Not sure if I can do that though. I always hesitate whenever spending money, except for when it comes to Family (Including Girlfriend) and food. To be honest, I haven't saved much during my contract days, and now that the contract has come to an end, it's time to start my commencement (In true SMU spirit) onto the next step of my life.
Life is interesting. It's up to us to make it even more happening!
Cheers!
Random thoughts as I write down my post for a very very long time. Will update more.
By the way, as I read some of my posts in my younger days, I kinda smiled to myself.
How immature was I at that point of time? I know 3 years down the road, I will still smile to myself and think that I was immature. Ha.
Boys will be boys.

Job Hunter
I guess I am not the only one.
But still, not having a stable job is really hurts. I know a million people are out there, in the same position as me, but in this case, misery does not love company.
Sounds depressing now, but I think I will pick myself up and walk on.
The future is waiting. Our future.
On a totally different note:
Battle for the cowl!

Wanted to pop in and write something as there are a million and one things i want to write before I forget.
But I guess everyone knows by now, that this is the single most important thing that has happened during my period of leave from this blog.
Another time then. Cheers.

If you discount the fact that he could have walked up to her directly and asked for her number that time, instead of pulling a stunt like this.

BATS
Classification:
Bats are mammals. Though sometimes called "flying rodents", "flying mice," or even mistaken for insects and birds, bats are not, in fact, rodents. There are three sub-orders of bats:
Megachiroptera (megabats)
Microchiroptera (microbats/echolocating bats)
Monothematic Delusion (Grown men who run around in giant bat suits)
Behavior:
Most bats are only active only at night. Studies have shown that bats make all kinds of sounds to communicate with others. Scientists in the field have listened to bats and have been able to identify some sounds with some behavior bats will make right after the sounds are made. Unfortunately there are certain types of bats who find it hard to communicate even though they are able to speak. Blame it on insecurity or lack of experience (Heh heh). It potentially results in loss of mating partners. The latter species tend to be self and self-centered, commonly referred as jerks-bats.
Predators:
Owls and eagles which hunt at night, are dangerous and the most common predator of bats. Unknown to most people, haughty little princess who spew fire from their mouth are known to torture grown bats to the point that they are extremely submissive. Unfortunately, that certain species of bats willing subject themselves to such punishment over and over again. Sadism, I know. We call those emobats. In fact, emobats are attracted to such punishment in the same obsessive way Michael Jackson is attracted to your 4 year old son. That should give you a rough estimate of the level of insanity that goes through their head.
Everything is true, I swear. Or maybe I should just stop doing my research when I am tired.
