Perception and Personality

No one can be so perfect
What is beautiful to one's eyes
Can be ugly to another.

Confidence is what makes a person shine
She knows no matter how the world looks at her
She knows that she is beautiful.
And she accepts the way she is.

Our personality is built
By how the world views us
How they praise us for our talents
How they critise us for our flaws.

We let their words affect us
And it can be for the better
or it can be detrimental.

What most of us don't realise
is that we can change the way
how others look at us by building
our own personality.

Just tell yourself today
"This is the way i want to be"
And you will subconciously
be the person you want to be.

After all, your destiny is in your hands
Don't let others control your destiny for you.

Written by Averal, a 20 year old freelance designer and marketeer.

I like the way she wrote this poem. Yes, we can change the way we look, the way we want to be. We have tons of choices and choose what kind of personality we want. If you are a shy person, be a happy shy person. If you are an arrogant person, so be it. We shouldn't care too much how people perceive us. It will be too tiring if we keep trying to gain approval and happiness from others. Be happy of who what we really are.

Wow, I can't believed that I'm so lucky in 2009. I am the winner of the draws from the U.K. and I have won One Million Great Britain Pounds!!!

So good to be true right? But wait ar, since when did I bought a ticket no of 001768432463 from UK??? Wake up the idea!!!!

Alright, I'm so used to be the target of these scammers. It is not the first time, I have recieved such mails. It's a scam.

Although I will never fall for such tricks, but it feels good to recieve such emails, it makes me feel that I'm 1 million richer and this time round, I have recieved 3 times such emails that makes me 3 million richer hahahaha I'm feeling great man :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How does these scam works?
According to Usulki, he said that 1st mail is to catch those stupid greedy idiots who thought "Maybe I really won some big draws? No harm sending some info over la.."

But once u reply, then they follow up with emails/phone... They make you really believed that you really won ... then say need small admin fee or other charges for what bank transfer purpose because it is not a small amount of money...

If you are overseas victim, they cannot transfer to oversea account... so they will ask you to open a UK banking account... with minimum deposit of xx amount...

Of course, eventually they will mail you some certificates that looks so real, or ask u call some number with answering machines that sounds like real bank/lottery company... and some really, really pro scam ones will have websites too!

Good luck to you then hahahhaha :)

Breaking free

In my facebook, I wrote:
"I'm breaking free from burden and starts a new beginning!"

Some of my friends asked me what burden I was having? I feel that I'm carrying unneccessary worrying and negative thoughts. Half of the time, I have spend my energy that bad things will not even happened at all. That is really wasting a lot of my precious time and before I can start the actual work. By the time i really wanted to work, I'm half drained and tired. So in the end, the result is obviously not good.

I'm telling myself that I'm going to break free from this kind of burden, that will be a great sense of freedom.

If we didn't try from the start, how do we know it doesn't work. If I failed, how can I make it even better? With these kind of mindset, I'm sure even if I failed, at least I have tried and I know I can do it better for the next time. Each time we failed, we are gaining new knowledge and experience. Don't be afraid that things will turn out badly all the time.

Cat shared with me this chinese phrase: "对自己宽容一点, 也许会过得比较快乐". I agreed totally because if we don't allow ourselves to make mistakes, we can never be a happy person. We will be too drain out by our own undue stress and worrying.

My dear friends, please take a step back, and you will see a happier self in this stressful cityscape.

Divorce, Custody & Pepsi Cola

Heard too many divorce cases already, share with you guys a divorce joke below...

A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court, but the custody of their children posed a problem.

The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them. The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his side of the story.

After a long moment of silence, the man rose from his chair and replied: "Judge, when I put a dollar into a vending machine and a Pepsi can comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?"

Don't laugh, he won!

The Best of Us

I happened to spot this video clip will surfing the net. It is an inspirational clip made by Singaporeans. Cool Stuff!



The theme of the campaign is "The Best of Us" - a simple, powerful idea that transcends cultures and borders, motivating young people around the world to participate in sport by proving that sport can bring out the best of them. They are using these 5 elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth as the background concept.

Heroes - Legendary Olympic athletes including Roger Federer, Yao Ming, Laure Manaudou, Liu Xiang, Yelena Isinbayeva, Kenenisa Bekele, Haile Gebrselelassie, Vanessa Ferrari and Carolina Kluft who, star as superheroes seeking to achieve the seemingly impossible.

It's our very own Singapore production who produced this Official Beijing Olympics 2008 Commercial. Cool stuff, isn't it? I read about their interview, in fact the team production faced a lot of problems in this production. Best of all, they never give up on their hardwork. I'm so proud that we are such an amazing video production talents in Singapore!

Embrace 2009

Happy, Happy New Year, my dear friends!

Despite how much me and Ah Ger really dislike the party crowds, we still went down to the Marina Countdown Party last nite... Yuppie, it was really, really damn crowded and we almost got ourselves jammed in the human crowd last nite when we making our way back despite we left quite early... Nothing was the perks except the amazing fireworks that lasted for 10 mins. After going home, I start to reflect about 2008 and what should I do to make a better year in 2009.

Let me share with you what does 2008/2009 means to me

What does 2008 means to me?
First of all, I always like to look back at my last year resolutions and they were "I need to find peace with myself and showing gratitude to others as well as myself."

Have I done that? Yup, I finally able to know who I really am and I have learnt to love myself and practising gratitude to others as well as myself. I'm grateful to be able to re-connect with my family and my close friends ever since I start schooling. It had been a fantastic year for me. I get to know myself better and I know what I really want in life and making my life to the fullest.

What does 2009 means to me then?
I guess it would be a challenging year for me because I have lots of goals in mind and I know I have to get them done. In this new year resolution, I would like to continue to have good health, spend more time with my love ones and continue to develop a strong passion in design, finally STAY FOCUS towards my small goals and I know I have live my life the way I want it :)

I like this phrase that I saw it one day:
Be clear with intentions & FOCUS upon it with unweaving faith
