Monday, August 15, 2005Anger is only one letter short of danger.
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Saturday, August 13, 2005CHICKEN N EGG DEBATE
Read this article yesterday in the forum section of the TODAY paper. It wrote that the service quality in Singapore has been deterioting and that many people seem to play the waiting game -insisting the service staff will be polite only if the customers are and vice versa. Personally i've encountered many rude service staff in shops and in eateries. I think it isn't easy to change the mentality of these staff....Some advocate using monetary incentives to entice them to be more courteous, i think thats lame and aritifical...wouldn't it so fake? I think it is more important to make it a country wide culture....Not only should Singapore be known as a Garden City, maybe we could thrive towards a Polite City.... As Singapore is moving to an increasing global society, to remain competitive, no doubt monetary rewards can move people towards better service but should that be our sole motivation at work. I'm sure there is much individual satifaction derived from a job well done and a thank you smile in return for your efforts.

Yesterday nite was the last semi-finals of Singapore's very own Chinese Idol search. Next week would be the finals where 2 male and 2 female contestants would compete. Yesterday was sad for the contestant Wei Jian. He even cried singing his departure song to all his fans......it was so touching....i cried too (sob sob)...I think Wei lian shouldn't be in the finals...how can they let a blind man even win a idols competition. Wouldn't think his albums would sell well.....for one he wouldn't even recognise his fans....not that i'm basis and have any thing against disabled people.....cause even myself aint perfect.....but i think we need to be pracmatic about this......its a music business....FACE IT!
Well on the brighter side Jun yang managed to get to the finals! He's soo cool.. I love his voice and his cute smile...Well i hope he wins! I know Maryse u would want Wei lian to win....But i support JUN YANG! Go Go Go =P

Thursday, August 11, 2005All of us go through life only once, so it's important to do what matters and what counts for eternity. As author Phillip C. McGraw wrote in his book "Life Strategies : Doing what works, doing what matters" it is important to understand yourself and do identify your strengths and weaknesses. Constantly building on our strengths and correcting our weaknesses. Life is dynamic and hence we need to be dynamic as well. We learn to take charge of our lives rather than complain all the time that life has been unfair to you.
