Most humans are like me. We have dreams, things we always wanted to do, see and explore etc. Some of us want to be rich, wealthy, living in a big house, have a great number of friends etc. Yes it is said that dreams make humans great. But to have these require you to work hard for it.
Example:
1. Thomas Edison created the first light bulb. It was said that he tried more than 300 times to see the first light in a bulb.
2. Steve Jobs started Apple Inc, which is currently the No.1 multinational technology company. He did not finished his high school and was a drop out. But that didn't stop him from pursueing his dream.
3. Roger Bannister, who ran the first sub-four-minute mile.
These guys and many more did what the world said it was impossible.
Recently, i came to know someone who started saving up as he is struggling in his finances. So he started making plans, setting budgets on his daily meals. But as time goes by, he couldn't keep to his budget as he was attracted to other tibits, snacks before/after lunch.
For us to be successful, we need the following:
1. Discipline
Keep to your budget. Only you can limit how you want to spent.
2. Consistancy
Be consistant to the amount you have budgetted.
3. Focus
Know your goals and dreams.
Temptations will always be there to tempt you, make your heart soft. But your will is stronger that all these!

Forgiveness: Why Forgive?
Yet another powerful message from Kong Hee.
What is forgiveness?
To forgive means 3 things.
1. To leave the hurt, bitterness, resentment, anger and all unpleasant feelings, thoughts behind.
I do not say that you take as if nothing happened. But whatever is happening right now, you make a decision to move on.
2. To move from prison to release.
Unforgiveness is like a prison. You will never move on if you are still unable to forgive the person/circumstances. Remember, that there is One who forgave you some 2000 years ago.
3. To let love fill your heart.
Fill your heart and mind positive things.
It always seems impossible until it's done. ~ Nelson Mandela

I'm sorry but thank You
To the One and Only,
I am sorry for the not celebrating the kind of birthday you have wanted. I am sorry for the below standard cake that we used to celebrate your special day. I am sorry for disappointing, not respecting, and not seeing you as a special and precious one in my life.
Lastly, i just wanna say thank You for giving us another chance to get this relationship going again. I may not be the perfect guy, but i will prove that you have made the right decision to be my girlfriend. Together, we can and will make this relationship the best one you can ever ask for.
J & F First Month Report
Hi all.
as some/many have heard from me, that as of 9th Feb 2015, i am no longer single. Well today post is to update some of the highlights.
1. 14th Feb 2015, we celebrated our first Valentine's Day.
I brought her to Pastamania @ Funan IT Mall. That was where i first met her. Guess what? Though it was not a posh restaurant, yet we kind of enjoyed the simple lunch. We were also sitting at the same table and chair that we first had dinner together! After lunch, we went to Raffles City, and then went to Suntec City to meet a few of our friends. Well, a handful of them already knew the good news and we were kinda surprised to see them as they came forward to send their best wishes and congrats to us! Technologies really work!
2. 3rd March 2015, we celebrated her birthday.
Well, i admit the celebration was certainly way below average! I didn't prepare for this special day.
So what did i do? I just bought her a simple cake and sang a birthday song to her.
Jenny, i am sorry. I wish i could have time to buy a better cake and get you the dress you have told me as you like it.
3. 15th March 2015, 3-days Cold Wars.
I was really sick on that day. She called me at around 10.15pm but i didn't hear it. But when i called her later, she hadn't picked up. So things was not good till 18th March 2015. Finally she called but with much disappointment, frustration and anger. To the extent that she mentioned ''breakup.'' I was really fearful that that would be the end. But i pleaded for another chance. Later part of the day, we went to meet Calvin her CGL. It was there, where we got back the relationship on track.

A new beginning
As of 9th February 2015, i am no longer single!! And some of you may have know who is the lucky one, but for the benefit of the rest, today i wanna introduce Jenny to you.
I came to know Jenny since Dec 2013. Jefri was the one who invited me into this chat group who is really more happening than any other chat group. So when did it started? I started to have feelings for her since the first time i walked her home. Looking back at the past year, we understood each other better. It was last Friday that we kind of confirmed that we have mutual feelings for each other. And yes, it was very mind blowing when we shared with each other.
We went to meet her CGL, Pastor Yilun on Saturday after service. She prayed and blessed this relationship. We went to have dinner with my CG and she also joined us @ Legoland. Technically, that was our first overseas outing. Oh yeah!! While on the way home, she asked me two questions which really set me thinking.
So i decided to pop the important question on Monday night after our guitar lesson. I felt that question was the answer she was looking for. That's why she could readily say yes.
So here's the thing: Relationship is meant to be serious and set things right.

Principle 原则
Principle
Definitions of principle: a fundamental truth or proposition
that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain
of reasoning, a fundamental source
or basis of something.
原则

意向
|
intention, intent, character, disposition, function, principle
|

Context: No matter whom you are or whether you know it or
not, words carry weight. When your friend is hospitalized, you mentioned you
will arrange to visit but end up did not turn up even after your friend has
discharged. There was another who did not mentioned of visiting, yet he came
and visit.
So what am I trying to say? I know you may be busy with
things, so I wouldn't ask you to visit. Rather than telling me you will visit, I
rather you speak words of encouragement etc. Don't say you be arranging and yet
none came.
In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.

Let me get this right
Yet another opportunity to have a great conversation with a old friend who was telling some issues he was facing for about 4 years. I think i can identify with him as i kind of went through what he experienced. So you might be wondering,'' what's going on?'' Well i am glad you ask. Haha
For the past 4 fours, he has been working really late. I mean like working Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm or even 10pm. That's not the problem. Inasmuch you have your life to live, so does my friend. As far as i know, the company did not employ you to tai-chi. Let me get this right, my friend here is not a slave to anyone, not even this company. I speaking to what you have been doing. Pls get this right, that my friend who is also your colleague is and has been helping you for the past 4 years that he is knocking off at 9/10pm. Pls get this right: His working hours is from 9am to 6pm. As far as i know, he is definitely not shirking responsibility or whatsoever. Likewise he doesn't work for you. He work for the Company which employed him. So get this straight and right.
