WEEK 7 OF SIP HAS ENDED AND THERE IS STILL NO PAY. DAMN STEADY ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...... (And on and on and on)
I believe that there is a saying that goes like this - If you are willing to learn, you will be able to do it (Idea there la, mai gei gao =D). Things like soccer or basketball, you can pick them up by training. After undergoing massive trainings, you will acquire them as one of your skills. I label these as "Trainable Skills". In my opinion, there are some skills that can't be learnt. At least, not that easily.
For sports, you can get a teacher to teach you and train everyday. Those "Un-trainable Skills" I'm talking about will be more like Communication Skills or Social Skills. However, the focus of today's topic is about the Art of Decision Making (Do I sound like a lecturer?)
Yes. Maybe some of you might say that there are courses or seminars to teach people how to communicate better. However, I still don't think that it will benefit much or rather "increase your skills in that area".
Decision Making in my opinion, is the hardest thing ever on Earth. There is always 2 sides of a coin to choose from and which side will u choose. Its HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE to be in a win-win situation because if there is, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CHOOSE. Normally, humans being humans will choose the option that will benefit them. And humans also being humans will also feel guilty if the decision they make is favourable to them but not to others. This is the reason to why I feel that "Decision Making" is a very complicated matter. Still using the same reason, when humans are in a 进退两难 situation they will probably "run away" from the decision making by remaining silent or looking at other people with a "I hope you can help me decide" eyes.
This is a rather large topic and due to time constraint (I need massive amount of sleep), I'm gonna stop here. =D

Yawn. I feel that I have not enough sleep everyday. Despite having a healthy lifestyle of sleeping from 11-6.45 almost daily, I'm still tired.
Tomorrow marks the start of week 7. Everday week seems to go by faster and faster. From a slow moving tricycle to now at least the MRT. Ferrari will come by week 15 I guess.
Actually after 6 weeks of internship, I have seriously nothing to blog about except for the repetition of the same things. Life has seriously been the same - Work, Eat, Bathe, Sleep.
I've been thinking of what to include in this post and after 5 mins of brain cells killing, NOTHING. So, I shall stop here =D.
Btw, Singapore HAS CLINCHED A SILVER MEDAL (I'm not as excited as I seem though =x)
No quote. Thought of one yesterday but my memory is currently in maintenance

Sunday is a very dreadful day for me cause it's the last resting day of the week. 2 days free from work never seemed enough for me. Perhaps I'm greedy. Well, who wouldn't ask for more? =D
Shall focus this post on the events that happened today. One should not look at the past right?
Woke up at 8.55am. This timing definitely sucks, but I have a morning movie to catch with my family so no choice. Watched "Money Not Enough 2". A typical Jack Neo film. Comedy is expected. Hokkien is a must to double the laughter. A teeny weeny bit of not so vulgar vulgarities to top it up. Of course I also anticipated scenes of heart-warming sadness to be included in the film. However, I didn't expect that in this film, the sadness was more than the comedy.
Jack Neo's recent films have been heavily critised by the media and were usually rated less then 3/5 stars. In my opinion, this is due to the lack of awaken mummies, crazy criminals and huge explosions that scare the hell out of you. Personally, I feel that once in a while watching "Jack Neo's type of film" is not a bad change.
Yes, maybe the plot is not very good compared to the twists and turns of "Dark Knight". However, I think these 2 movies can't be compared as they are 2 totally different type of films. I think that (I may be wrong) most, or maybe all Jack Neo's films ultimately are to deliver various messages to the people who watched them. The focus on his films and other action films are different. A fine example I would use will be his current movie - "Money Not Enough 2". I think the focus on this movie would be "Filial". I shall not be a "spoiler" and share about the movie but I think those who have already watched the movie will understand what I said.
The messages that all Jack Neo's movies delivered are really things and problems faced by people. After watching this movie, it inspired me for a quote of the day.
Quote of the day: People usually want things that they don't have. However, they only cherished them when the things they had don't belong to them. Irony eh?

Yo. Here I am again. Life has been simple. Wake up -- Bathe -- Eat Breakfast -- Go to work -- Work -- Lunch -- Continue working -- Go home -- Watch TV -- Sleep.
Work has been boring. However, I kinda prefer this boring-ness to the imba stress. I should be 知足 a bit and not complain so much ^^.
Nothing much to blog about. Oh ya. Lzx's new song is very nice. It may be bias-ness and I personally like it very much. Title of the song is: Cause I believe (if I'm not wrong). It's a rather sad song so if you are emo you can listen to it. I shall write part of the lyrics here. It will confirm have some mistakes cause I'm trying my best to "decipher" the lyrics by listening to the song and it's rather "noisy". And crap, this song is not in the sound track. Hope will be in his new album.
Cause I Believe 那幸福不滅的定律
在你手心 会有适合你的美丽
仅这痕迹 就让我的心安静地
守着你 把祝福送给你
Oh I Believe
Cause I Believe 那幸福不滅的定律
你的手心 不一定要由我握緊
就像恆星 总会有发光的原因
And I Believe 你值得被珍惜
也值得我放棄

Well Well Well, 1 week since my last post. Seems like a long time compared to my "one post a day" spree since the start of my work.
Monday, the 1st day of work and always the most dreaded day for me within a week. I can expect a boring week lies ahead of me. Editing Editing and MORE EDITING. Sianzation man. If I'm not wrong, I'm going to edit and edit for the rest of the 3 months. Thats, sian to the max la.
Its quite standard of me to talk about work at the 1st 2 paragraph and then talk about something else in the next few. It will be no exception today.
Love is seriously a very mysterious thing. It is an unexplanable element in life. Actually, I believe I have more to say about love but due to the overwhelming physical and mental pressure that is suppressing my body and mind, I shall save this part for another day. Muackz
Quote of the day(copied =x): Saying "I Love You" is a honest secret which is hard to express from a man's heart
