Was clearing my inbox when I came across this email from one of my prof during last semester. It was a long email message but of great words of wisdom to ponder on continuously in my life to come.
Adversus solem ne loquitor - Don't speak against the sun / Don't waste your time arguing the obvious.
There is a short passage from The Desiderata of Happiness by Max Ehrmann. I believe that regardless of religion, the faith of life is still shared among us.

Time does fly fast when life gets enjoyable and stress-free. School is starting soon and there are some kind of unexplained mixed feelings. Like what kind of weapons and armors should I prepare? Stainless steel, bullet proof and health potion sound good. Lately, I have been thinking a lot and being superstitious cuz I do not want history to repeat itself. And this history was my period of "Great Depression". But I am glad to say that I have overcome a regret. I no longer live in that world and I think the future does not welcome this tinge of sweet playback at all.
Some photos to share of a balloon sculpting and fund raising project which I volunteered few months back. Overall, it is a good learning experience and an enjoyable one.
The "Jo-is-gonna-puke" peacock during training sessions at Changi
The masterpiece after an overnight stay over at the freaking warm shopping mall
The display during finale event after much tremor
The tree that kids pull when they descend the escalator
The friendly snake with a gentle hiss
The monkey that I wish to bring home. Yummy banana~
Gigantic giraffe and chivalrous horse
Closeup of the white horse
Many aunties Lucy steal them even when we place the "Do Not Touch" sign..LOL
Finally, gifts from all my dearest friends for my early birthday celebration. Thanks!

Wondering what to get me as my present? Ya..I know I am kind of thick skin and you may have something up your sleeves to surprise me with LOL~. However, this just serves as some ideas that you can explore more on. Or maybe nobody is reading this and I could use this as a reference to pamper myself in the future. Tag @ chatbox if you are buying any items to avoid clashes.
A mini cooper series. Yes, the color red is one of my favorite of this series. I know is bullshit talk here la haha. But a model MINI would be fine too..really!
Books: The Definitive Guide to Business Finance, The Intelligent Investor, Martin Zweig's Winning on Wall Street and Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Series of 3 Books.
Music/Soundtracks: Andrew Lloyd Webber's 60 Collection and David Foster & Friends.
Lastly, please support the project I am working at now. A kind donation and voluntary assistance can help the underprivileged, weak and destitute. While we constantly crave and desire for luxury items, these children, youths, adults and elderlys just hope for basic necessities in life.
I know this sound kind of cliche and a self-promotion event, but yes the greatest gift of life is to provide help and support to the less fortunate people out there when we still have the financial means. There are so many charity organizations and these are just the few. A greatest thanks and sincere appreciation from me.

"They" rock my life and are quite generous too. Awesome-ness! Bidding is peaceful at last..just for now. Screw those paranoid people.

Time does fly. It's my 100th post! As much as I would like to express my inner thoughts and feelings inside this blog, but lack of privacy is still the main thing, I do not find the idea of baring my soul and making some rude comments that amusing after all. Look at how much trouble bloggers have landed themselves in when the public expose their "dirty laundry" to all. So here..in my blog will just be chrolonogical events that only some will read.
Well, this week was quite hectic and fun. Even how much I go out, my mother will still chase me out of the house. Her reason being " get some sunlight" rather than "rotting". Sometimes I try to justify my rotting but often I just look at her with an evil smile. How contradicting it can get when school starts and she starts telling me to rest or else I will die of fatigue one day. So tell me where should I be now eh?
Being traveling..well, literally from the west to east for trainings. Is good to have a transport concession. Most of the time I disguise as a year one freshie and bond with them. Some of them are really smart..like they are scholar, doing double degree and from prestige JCs. Ask them why they choose this school and they will provide you with plenty of interesting answers.
Like one mountain is higher than another mountain..is good to upgrade oneself with new knowledge and value-added skills.
Mid this week, I was totally mad at myself and those kiasu people. Spoiling the market trend and causing great inflation. I yelled and cursed but in the end I think things always don't go as smoothly as you would want to. So ya..just treat it as a practice and gain experience.
