On Friendships and Forgetting :'(

"People love us cause of the way that we are, and our enemies hate us for that very same reason."

"F.R.I.E.N.D.S.: (F)ight for you. (R)espect you. (I)nvolve you. (E)ncourage you. (N)eed you. (D)eserve you and (S)tand by you."

"喜欢一个人是很讲感觉的。就算是第一次见面，你也会觉得认识很久。你很希望经常看见她， 甚至希望她突然之间在自己面前出现。"

"Never chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn’t given freely by the other person, it isn’t worth having…"

"Some things in life are seen only with the heart, not with the eyes."

"There is only one thing that can cure a dead or wounded heart. But it is a difficult medicine to get a hold of. It's because you can only receive it from another person, and it is "LOVE""

"Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes, those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts."

"Anyone can make u happy by doing something special. But only someone special can make u happy without doing anything."

"Best Friends = Cheer you up when you're down; Comforts you when you're sad; Fight for you when you're hurt!"

"I don't care what you earn, where you live, what you drive, whether you're gay or straight, fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or average, rich or poor, smart or not. If you're my friend, you're my friend. I accept you for who you are, and that's ALL that matters. If you feel the same.. steal this status from me, your friend, like I just did from another friend ....Keep it movin"

"For all my true friends ( you know who you are) I love and cherish you. Even if you become penniless tomorrow- my smile will always be as warm as sunshine for you and my friendship will forvever be true ♥"

"It's been said that everlasting friends go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship. These friends pick up like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live, and they don't hold grudges. They understand that life is busy… and… you will ALWAYS love them. Re-post if you have at least 1 of these friends. They will know who they are."

"Be very careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came from a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head, to be superior of him. But from his side, to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

"My mind tells me to give up but my heart won't let me."

"‎"LOVE is NOT a Feeling, it is a Mentality and a Mindset". So what does saying 'I Love You' mean?"

"Realise that no matter what happened, you are deserving of a relationship, just like everyone else. Once you have healed the wounds of a past relationship and dealt with the emotions, you will be able to move on without the emotional baggage."

"As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have a lots of friends, and more important to have real ones. 當我們越長越大，我們就會發現，擁有幾個眞心朋友比結交一大堆的酒肉朋友來的重要許多。"

"~Love is an unknown place that no saying from all around the world can explain. 愛情是用全世界所有的名言都無法解釋的未知世界。"

"~Spend life with someone who makes you happy, not the one who you have to impress. 選擇跟那個能夠讓你快樂的人來共度余生，而不是去跟那個你必須努力取悦他的人在一起。"

"~It takes a life time to find someone, but only a moment to fall in love. 找對的人也許要花一生的時間，但愛上一個人卻往往在一瞬間。"

"~人生有三樣東西不可挽回，那就是：時間、機遇、以及說出去的話。"

"~※ 當我們認定一個人是我 們生命中最重要，又或 者是非常重要的人的時 侯，一旦覺得或發現她 欺騙自己，我們的反應 就會很激烈，因為你很 在乎她，所以難以接受 她做錯事，即便祇是小 事，因為在你的眼裡她 是完美的。這就是所謂 的希望越大失望越大， 也因為這樣，很多人到最後演變成分手收場，連朋友都做不成，從熟悉變陌生，到最後變不相識。"

"一次失败不用气馁、因为告诉自己还有机会
没有失败怎样会进步?失败乃成功之母!
只要不懒惰...那就是成功踏出第一步♥"

"彼此信任是良好人際關係的基礎。人際關係良好的人永遠不愁沒有朋友。喜歡和諧的人通常 知道該如何維繫。持久的成功建立在和諧的人 際關係之上。盡量充當和事佬，就沒有太多紛 爭。趁機渾水摸魚的人才會挑起人事紛爭。"

"瘦的女生不見得迷人，美丽的女生未必善解人意，穿得少的不一定性感。由内心深处散發而出的氣質…最動人！虛有其表的美麗, 終究會被人發現後敗絮其中, 而失去吸引力。男人若是為了女人的外表而瘋狂, 代表他隨時可能也會為另一個更美麗、身材火辣的女人而毅然離開。。。" ~ Jeff

"只想好好的捉住你不放，可是我真的可以這樣做嗎？你會给我捉住不放嗎？"

"現在在一起，可能在一起，即將不在一起的，記住這句話：錯過了，就有可能永遠不會再有了。"

"世界那麼大，愛上一個人不容易，被愛也不容易，要互相相愛，就更加難囉。但是當自己最愛的人和最愛自己的人是同一個人的時候，那麼你就是世界上最幸福的人啦，所以愛要把握時機，愛情不是等你有空才來珍惜的。"

"柏拉圖式愛情……人生短短幾十年，不要給自己留下什麼遺憾，
想笑就笑，想哭就哭，該愛就愛；走在一起是緣分，一直在走是幸福，有些愛情注定會失去的，有些緣分注定沒有結果的，愛一個人不一定要擁有，若是擁有了一個人，就一定要好好的愛她….."

"Why do we like people?

It seems uncanny how we clearly delineate between those we like and those we don’t like. What are our bases for making people our friends or enemies? In the same line of thinking, how do we know when a friendship is starting and when it is over?

I try to keep it simple. I categorize my friends into acquaintances and specials. The acquaintances always see my nice side, they never hear of my rants, but at the same time, they never feel my emotional outbursts and sudden floods of affection.

To the special ones, I show my true colors. I show how intense I can be when I feel strongly about something, and most of the time, the extremes of my personality.

See, there’s no middle ground to how I feel. Either I feel something 110%, or I’m completely oblivious to it. Those who see my passion see the real me, and I’m left vulnerable and in their mercy. They can hurt me, even make me feel warm at times, and more often than not, make me happy by just having a conversation. Those who don’t, see only the surface.

These acquaintances cannot hurt me, and cannot evoke the happiness I feel when im with my specials.

Admittedly, not everyone who I show my true colors to understand the implications. They get turned off, and just decide that they can’t handle my friendship. While this is a fact that i accept, a certain pain comes with the realization that someone I like doesn’t like me back.

I need not say that I have a hundred acquaintances and only a handful of friends. But I treasure that handful and keep them with me forever.

I become their champion, their ally, their confidante and most importantly, their refuge. I see time in its alpha and omega. I realize that in our single pass at life, we meet people who stand out to us over others. There are people that I never want to forget, and there are those that I have never really met, even if I was in contact with them for a long duration.

As in the occult, having something that belonged to another person keeps you in contact with that person even after he/she is gone. The paranormal theory is that you can affect that person from afar if you have something of his/hers in your possession. In terms of keeping friendships alive in my mind, I keep little stuffs that my specials give me, with the intention to never forget them. If they never gave me stuff, I ask them to. This is my personal way of protecting them from getting lost, so that I may always wish them well and remember the memories shared.

In cases of lost friendships, I grieve for a long time, yet never really show any sign.

There’s also this thing I do… a certain purging process that enables me to never remember. It brings physical pain to delete a cel number or giveaway a gift, but it must be done. Purging is emotionally tumultous, but I am comforted with the thought that the pain will soon be over… when the time comes that I don’t remember anything.

It’s like emptying the trash bin on your PC, or thinking of a vague dream that you had the night before. You know what you dreamed about and what you got rid of, but as the day wears on, it becomes less and less important.

To answer my original question: Why do we like people?

We like others because of how they make us feel about ourselves"

Book Talk by Joey Yap at Kinokuniya

For the uninitiated, Joey Yap was in this town this weekend for his Design Your Destiny seminar...he held a book talk cum book signing session at leechie fav bookstore, Kinokuniya this evening =) Yoke Wah helped me to reserve a front row seat...but Joey was already halfway through his talk when i walked in...blur leechie forgot to charge the battery of my silly samsung camera n the battery died after i took only 1 pic! >.<"



Pretty interesting session by Joey today...he talked abt what each pillar of our bazi signifies...Yoke Wah asked a question abt her bazi chart...n Joey recommended ppl with her structure not to get married n juz keep a bf...he said tt the probability of divorce is 80%! i always thought tt relationships (having a bf) would be in the same category as marriage...apparently not, according to Yoke Wah n lp...they said bfs r juz bfs...u can still change ur mind...but marriage is a far bigger commitment...n there would be much more friction in a marriage when the husband n wife live together everyday o.O" n i was complaining n whining abt those buggy guys bugging a leechie! =.="

"Some BaZi charts are 'luckier' than others. No doubt about this. But to grow a business - one needs much more than just luck alone. The chart needs to show competence in running and growing a business successfully. Starting a business - sure, any idiot can do that. Growing one successfully is the real challenge.

Good charts have "unconscious competence" in growing a Business. These are traditional...ly - charts with noble structures and good stars.

However, GREAT charts are those that subsequently acquired Conscious Competence in growing their business successfully. This means - they are people who mastered the TOOLS and SKILLS needed to grow a business successfully. Not just merely depending on luck alone.

There are 24 of such configurations BaZi charts. Each configuration is activated when one reaches a stage in his/her Luck Pillar.

For instance - a Wealth Triangle formation. Where hidden wealth star in the month and hour branches. (None appearing on the Stem). This is the first configuration. Belongs to someone have unconscious competence when it comes to growing a business. The person may, or may not realise this potential yet. Depending on whether he/she will meet the Wealth star in the Luck Pillar (Stem) and complete the triangle. Where it is met, the person will discover or learn new Tools/Skills required to grow a business successfully. Where he/she does not meet the star in the LP, then it is the BaZi consultant's job to coach the person to consciously acquire those necessary skills and tools as per his/her structure" ~ Joey Yap

Btw, the tv screen at the gym was showing an interview with Man United legend Eric Cantona...my personal trainer was v.surprised to learn tt leechie is a soccer fan...n he was really impressed with my footie knowledge...we support the same team...but i found it hard to catch my breath chatting with him abt soccer while sweating it out at the machines...lol... @.@" think i really have v.thin skin, i still ended up with wounds on my knuckles despite wearing gloves for the kick-boxing session! =.="

Age and Gender Do NOT Define Your Chance at Success!!!

Saw this inspiring article tt i wanna share with u =)

Random thought from Eric: "Even God cannot pleases everyone. One prays for rain and the other prays for sun. What should God do? Or say soccer. Both teams pray to God that they win. Who is God going to answer? So if even God cannot pleases everyone, why should we try to please everyone? Lesson: The fear of man brings a snare! Good night everyone. :)"
N i spent a major part of my leechie life trying to please my leechie mum although i can never get any affirmation from her no matter how well i did...

"Age and gender do not define your chance at success
August 8, 2011 by Terence LEE

At 23 years old, Elfaine Tan has accomplished multiple feats. As winner of Shell’s LiveWIRE “Most Promising Enterprise Award” in 2009 and having been named one of Her World Magazine’s 50 “Most Inspiring Women Under 40″, Elfaine is the proud founder of The Sample Store (formerly known as Fr3b.com), an on-line store that distributes and sells samples.

Elfaine believes that there are many roads to education and achieving success. After graduating with a Diploma in Biomedical Informatics & Engineering in 2008, she took an office job but left a few months later because she had a business idea and wanted to validate it.

Despite initial protests from her parents and the lack of a formal business education, Elfaine was determined to prove that her business model works. She cold-called marketers at their offices throughout the day and got rejected by them over and over again. But she never gave up. Her hard work paid off eventually, when she managed to arrange for meetings with her clients and convinced them to use the platform.

To date, The Sample Store has garnered a substantial pool of members and customers, worked with many established brands and has also distributed and sold countless samples.

No excuses to achieving success

For the tenacious entrepreneur who started her business early in life, there are no excuses to achieving success. “I don’t think age or gender would affect one’s success. What matters most is the right attitude and mindset,” she observed.

In fact, that there are some advantages to being a woman. Elfaine points out that, as “most marketers in my industry are women, this gives me an advantage as I can communicate with them better and even share some very personal thoughts with them.”

She noted that there may be certain drawbacks for a young female entrepreneur. She added, “Sometimes people get the wrong impression the first time they meet you. They usually think that we are either not experienced enough or doubt our credibility.”

On dealing with gender

There are challenges to working with both men and women. For example, Elfaine observed that women in leadership positions tend to be more demanding, straightforward and set higher expectations. But the jovial entrepreneur offers a tip, “ I find joy in befriending my clients, and this makes the communication process smoother when it comes setting goals and expectations with them.”

As for the men, she quipped that they “can be a little forgetful and tend to forget about some deadlines. So we need to be constantly remind them about deadlines, submission and meeting dates.”

Women like Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, local entrepreneurs Nanz Chong Komo and Ms Elim Chew have inspired the young entrepreneur to be strong, determined and to develop a never-surrender-to-failure spirit.

“Like what Steve Jobs said, anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength,” she said.

At 23 years old, Elfaine has proved that success is not defined by age and gender, but by the right spirit and mindset.

You can check out The Sample Store or find out more about Elfaine through her blog."

"Remind me I AM GOOD

I was recently told of an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing.

When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.

The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as Good, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.

They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he'd temporarily been disconnected: "I AM GOOD"."

"Recently some emails popped in asking me why is life such a struggle.

Well, nothing is perfect in this world so are your luck cycle and events that take place. No one is perfect too.

Sometimes the downs are so distressing that its make you see and feel nothing else. Even good times can be marred by some minor incident. However, there are always little deeds you can do for yourself to make things br...ighter. The simplest you can do is choosing to focus your energy on things that make you happy and feel good. This not only applies to event happening to you but to the people you meet and see too. After all what are the things that does not involve people. You can focus to see the better side of a person. This does not necessary mean you're hereby blinded by the person fault and short coming. Being aware and on the other hand putting all your energy into a bad situation or the person imperfection will make you become critical and start the blame game. Be aware but see the good in others. See the good things around you!

There is no one's life that is without a struggle. But there will be happy times too. It is the circle of life.

What I do during bad time? I'm not magician nor a witch that can make bad thing go away. I just buy my favorite chocolate ice-cream to eat when I feel sad." ~ BaziChic

Also saw the Yahoo article on Irene Ang n sometimes i think i'm also fragile like a wine glass...life is what we make outta it...what we make the most outta the packs of cards tt we were dealt with at birth...sometimes i feel tt i have to fight for so many things in my life...i juz have to be thankful tt all these have added strength to my character n made me the person tt i am today...i guess u wouldnt use the word boring to describe me...leechie muz jia you!

""I've willed myself to be strong. I'm not who I am today by birth," Irene Ang says. "I was very quiet at home growing up; I always felt that I had not earned my rights to speak up."

"I knew then that life was what I made out of it, and from a young age many incidents taught me that I have to fight for what I want," Irene Ang adds. "That made me who I am today -- going through a tough childhood -- so I am very touched, and always grateful.""





‎"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are!"
N what gives u the right to judge n stereotype me when ur character is like ...??? =.="

"Never waste time on a person who can't accept u as who u r. The relationship will never run smooth even if there is an opportunity." ~ Jason
I'm only a leechie...too bad if u cant even accept tt...it's not my prob ;p

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

"Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches us." ~ Jack Canfield

"Life is like a piano, the white keys represent happiness & black keys show sadness. BUT as you go through life’s journey, remember that the black keys too make music !"

"Justifying a fault doubles it"

"Financial success doesn’t equal life success. Success and happiness is a culmination of many things. If one is off big time, you’re not going to feel like a success, or maybe even happy. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to everything that matters to you now, and not just what money can do for you later." ~ Harv

"I don't care what you earn, where you live, what you drive, whether you're gay or straight, fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or average, rich or poor, smart or not. If you're my friend, you're my friend. I accept you for who you are, and that's ALL that matters. If you feel the same.. steal this status from me, your friend, like I just did from another friend ....Keep it movin"

Saw thess jokes ;p
"My hairdresser (cute gay guy) used to bitch: "Wonderbra is biggest culprit for False Advertisement ever. After you seduce her, and take off her bra .. and you "wonder" where her boobs go to!".
I told him: "Well, its exactly just like men talking "big" and boasting about themselves to impress women. Real life disappoints!""

"Written on pub men's room wall: "Dont look up here for a joke, its in YOUR HANDS""

"Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one. It's fine to be proud of it. But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around, And PLEASE don't try to shove it down children's throats."

"How the 'Popiah King' became a billionaire

Friday, Jul 29, 2011
AsiaOne

It was a gesture of goodwill that led 62-year-old billionaire Sam Goi to his #12 spot in Forbes Asia's Singapore's 40 richest list this year, but his entrepreneurial streak was what carried him through.

Despite being known as the 'Popiah King', food was not what Mr Goi set out to do when he first ventured into business.

Born to a farmer from China's Fujian province, Sam Goi migrated with his family to Singapore when he was six. They lived in Geylang, where they lived in a one-room tenement and where his father opened a small grocery store.

After dropping out of high school, he did odd jobs at a mechanical repair shop while also helping his father at the store. It was here at this repair shop that he found out that he had a knack for fixing machines.

His first business venture was, fittingly enough, his own repair shop, which he financed through a loan from his father. However, it closed in less than a year.

He did not give up. He was able to raise enough money through the informal Chinese community lending network to start the same business, now called Sing Siah. In four years, his revenues had grown to half a million dollars, and he started a new business to repair ships at the Jurong Shipyard. These two businesses kept flourishing, with multi-million dollar revenues that enabled him to employ 400 people.

It was his third business, however, that made him a billionaire.

When he moved to an industrial zone, he stumbled upon a factory which had a unit that was struggling, with feuding partners. The product: popiah skins. He bought a controlling stake from the owners, who he had earlier befriended. He later bought out his partner, who had started a similar business in Malaysia. By 1980, he had full control of Tee Yih Jia.

From a small operation employing 23 people who could produce 3,200 wraps a day, it is now a frozen foods empire with estimated revenues of US$1.3 billion (S$1.6 billion) that produces 35 million pieces of popiah skins daily in factories in Singapore, China, Malaysia, and the US.

These are sold under the company's Spring Home Brand, and are distributed internationally, together with other products like roti paratha, Indian samosas, glutinous rice balls, and prawn balls.

In 2006, he handed over operations to his US-educated children, and is now going into property in China.

He told Forbes Asia: "I'm a simple man who started in a small way with the humble popiah, but now we've gone far beyond that."

$$ Wealth & Destiny With Joey Yap $$

Thx Yoke Wah for helping leechie to reserve a front row seat for this seminar...Joey had alrdy started speaking when i walked into the seminar room...v.interesting talk by Joey today =)

Joey covered various aspects of bazi, face-reading, fengshui n date-selection in this 1 day seminar...he talked abt our destiny being made up of 50% internal factors (character, personality traits, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs) and 50% external factors (events, ppl such as family, frenz&colleagues, opportunities and economy). Awareness, realization n change! ur experiences will bring out the good in u or set u back...n every 10 yrs tt u go through will add on to ur experiences...n why u keep going through the same stuff over n over again...he said our willpower n techniques r v.impt in determining our destiny...n tt nobody can predict ur free will!!!

N i agree with Joey tt our ultimate purpose is to be happy! money is not everything...discretionary time is impt too...but how many ppl actually understand a leechie n understand tt underneath the glamorous facade lies a lonely soul who is slogging like hell?! i admit tt i'm a free-spirit n i hate to be controlled...but honestly, i dont even know how to be happy! haiz >.<"
opportunity + preparation = good fortune

He talked abt anything n everything tt u want in life come from other ppl...so it would help if we can understand others better ya =) he mentioned abt spending time vs investing time with the right ppl...according to Joey, ur pedigree is determined by who u know...he also talked abt the law of selecting frenz based on face reading...was quite amused by his description of some of the facial features (he has a Cantonese description for each type which i couldnt really understand)...lol ;p

Joey covered the main characteristics, strengths n weaknesses of each of the 5 structure types...pretty interesting ;p

Managers (wealth structure) like to b in control n r responsible, extremely bossy n perfectionist...does tt sound familiar? ;p btw, Joey has this wealth structure...n Yoke Wah really seems to idolize Joey v.muchie...but she was saying tt it's hard to live with ppl with wealth structure type...i guess it's hard to live up to their expectations eh? o.O"

He suggested tt ppl with supporter (influence structure) shldnt start from scratch, shld juz takeover a failed company n restructure n make things better...they shld look for those organizations in trouble or r broken in some way...n then go in n follow the rules n fix everything! btw, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg n Steven Spielberg all hav supporter structure B-)

Thinkers (resource structure) r v.analytical n suspicious ppl....they r v.happy cruching the facts n figures...the type who can analyze-until-paralyzed type ;p but they can become easily depressed...his suggested remedy for this case would be to stop thinking...lol ;p btw, he suggested tt we let them be unhappy cos they r actually quite happy being unhappy...lol ;p well, tt kinda reminds me of someone eh? ;p btw, Warren Buffet n Steve Jobs have resource structure o.O

Connectors (companion structure) tend to be the deal-makers...they find resources n connect them...n ppl r the resources...their wealth is linked to who they know...n connectors r amongst the most wealthy ppl in society! n they seem to do nothing but talk...Joey gave the analogy of lalangs...they can become the person tt they r talking to for a while...n can be likeable if they want...they r good at blending in n getting along with others...n some connectors can appear to be rather aimless, they dunno what they want in life n dunno what they r doing...n they juz drift along in life...so the goal for them is to meet as many ppl as possible...cos the more ppl they meet, the more resources they'll have...does this description sound like someone? ;p

Creators (output structure) r creative n r suitable to be in mkting...the fun ppl tt u would wanna have at ur party! ;p

Btw, can u guess what's leechie main n sub structure types? ;p i guess mine is more of a mixture of the various structure types but a few tend to be more predominant...but might not be tt obvious? ;p

N if u have any of the elements missing, Joey recommended tt u forget abt what's missing n work on ur strengths instead! i realized tt ppl tend to b drawn towards what's lacking in their bazi...i guess humans always want what they do not have ya...n take alot of stuff for granted eh...i know i'm always drawn to what's more challenging n difficult to achieve...i'm only human >.<"

"One of the greatest things in life is that no one has the authority to tell you what you want to be. You're the one who'll decide what you want to be." ~ Jaime Escalante (1930-2010)
so when i grow up, i wanna be a leech! ;p

Joey mentioned abt how the one tt we like dont seem to fancy us but y those tt we dont fancy r interested in us...haiz...life's so complicated...something tt i'm currently facing...haiz >.<" n he also mentioned tt he has not seen any ladies with low nose bridge who marry well...talking abt ladies with low nose bridge n the image of pretty Fann Wong comes to mind...she's much more wealthy than the guy she chose to marry despite having tons of wealthy suitors o.O"

Well, a leechie happened to be at the right place at the right time again n i won a copy of Joey's latest book at their Q&A session (in fact, i gave 2 correct answers n the MC had to think of another question to ask for the next person...lol ;p) v.interesting talk by Joey today n i bot tix to Joey's next seminar in Jan 2012...looking forward to it =)

Btw, my silly Samsung camera is acting silly these days again...n many pics turned out v.blur -.-" Yoke Wah took many pics before capturing the above main pic...not sure if Joey might feel abit sianz with my silly camera esp with the loooooooooong q building up! o.O" but thought tt he looks good in earth tones n i like his cute dimples! ;p

Interesting Quotes from Joey Yap:

"Almost everything we want in life comes from the help of other people. If we can connect better with people, we will have higher chances for success.

There are three types of people we should strive to have in our close personal network.

1. People who have the answers and solutions you need. Or at least can help you connect to those w...ho do. (Meaning - find someone who can teach you what you need to know to be better or solve your problems.)

2. People who can do what you can't. People with special skills, skills you don't have. (It takes longer time to learn something you are not talented in. Better to seek help from those who are already good.)

3. People who already have the resources you need." ~ Joey Yap

"What if you are suddenly given a huge business opportunity and you knew for a fact that it's a chance of a lifetime and you want to pursue it?? ..... but you can't do it alone and you need to pull a group of people to help you.

Would you ...put an ad on the paper advertising for a business partner? enlist the aid of people who give yo...u the most trouble? Would you work with someone whom you don't like?

Most likely not. You'd probably be looking amongst your close pool of friends. If you all of you share the same level of competence and skills, you'd most likely go for the one that you LIKE most to partner with.

Given a choice, people always work with people they LIKE.

So my recommendation to a client today was - always try your best to be LIKABLE. Do your best to connect better with people. " ~ Joey Yap

Looks like Yoke Wah was greatly amused with what Joey said...leechie is the one with her head bowed n busy taking notes...see how hardworking i am ya? ;p

So go ahead and complain … or maybe not. You’ve got to catch yourself because no one’s going to do it for you, probably because they’re doing it, too." ~ Harv

~*~ Hennessy Artistry at St James Powerhouse ~*~

Thanks Edison for the invites to this event...n i was pleasantly surprised when the marketing staff from Hennessy called to tell me tt i've won the second prize for this Hennessy Artistry party! the second prize include invites to this party n 1 year of membership to St James Powerstation =) so went down to check out this event with a few bros n lp...Marcus was quite surprised to learn tt i won the prize through a facebook contest cos he was rather sceptical tt anyone could win anything on fb prior to this...Brian was surprised to learn tt leechie is a blogger o.O" n the guys were joking tt brian had gone to ask for phone nos each time he disappeared...lol ;p learnt tt this was a once-in-a-year event...cool ya B-)

Leechie posing with the Hennessy bottle =)


We were rather amused with the giant chillers tt they placed outside Powerhouse...well, one juz need to order hennessy together with one's choice of mixer (either orange juice, cranberry or gingerale) n the models would pour ur drink into this chiller from the top while one could place the shotglass at the bottom to collect the chilled drink...thought tt it was rather weird tt brian actually asked me which drink was more kinky o.O" well, saw many guys ogling at the models o.O

Leechie against the backdrop of model pouring drink into the giant chiller o.O


Model pouring drink into the giant chiller...Marcus was saying tt he wanna b a model if he were female...lol ;p


The giant chiller outside Powerhouse...apologies for the blur pic...blame my silly Samsung camera


Was cool to hang out with my bros...n marcus actually rem tt the v.last time tt he came to st james was abt 2yrs ago when he bumped into a leechie at Dragonfly...how time really flies manz @.@" i seldom pop by st james...think the v.last time tt i actually stepped into Powerhouse was 1 or 2 yrs ago? but i rem tt i was being checked for my ID card at the door here a couple yrs back...btw, marcus alerted me to the bday promo for members, we were discussing abt the possibility of celebrating our bday together here later this year to enjoy the perks of the complimentary membership tt i won...let's see...o.O

Marcus was saying tt leechie seems to be "here, there n everywhere" n involved in so many stuff! esp with my hectic schedule n all the rushing around...i'm juz tired...really tired...think many ppl would be dead by now if they were in my shoes!!! ya, i admit tt i'm damn scared of loneliness n i wanna be meaningfully occupied...perhaps at the expense of sufficient rest n sleep >.<" sometimes i get so tired of stuff tt i wonder if i shld juz settle for second best maybe? cos sometimes there would be this fear in me...a deep worry if there would be ppl looking after a leechie in old age??? >.<" i was asking marcus if he would feel sad for me if i were to juz settle for second best maybe? he asked if i could live with tt decision for the rest of my life...n perhaps tt might be the reason y divorce rate is so high these days?! he was saying tt if i cant live with it...then i should juz continue looking...but i'm tired...really tired of alot of stuff n crap...i don't even know how to be happy...he was giving me advice n his guy's take on stuff...abt how i'm being taken for granted by unappreciative ppl...but his parting shot was...never take advice from a guy who's alrdy 80% drunk! lol ;p but i still appreciate his sharing... i'm being reminded of this quote from Jason: "一个人一生中最大的幸福在于做对两件事：一是找对单位、找对上司​；二是找对妻子或丈夫。"

We then proceeded to the nearby Beer Garden at St James for supper...this was the first time tt i ate there...we had yummy fried oyster omelette, hokkien mee n ba chor mee with the live band singing some chinese ballads...it seemed like a 7th month gei-tai concept thingy so i was thankful for the fine weather...but brian described it as an overpriced food court...lol ;p but the prob was tt all these yummy food seemed abit too oily for my tummy. i have a weak stomach these days n cant take too muchie oily or sweet stuff >.<" i have been having probs with oily n sweet food lately n cant seem to digest them =.=" my doc fren suspected tt it could be food reflux n asked me to go see doc...but i still havent found time to go down to the doc yet...frenz were asking me why didnt i go see tt doc fren then...the reason is rather simple...he's not a gp who attends to minor illnesses...lol ;p

"Yes, im a girl and most of my friends are guys. No, that doesnt make me a slut."
N enough of all the silly stereotyping!!!

Ok, some advantages of having guy buddies:
1. they wont b jealous tt u look prettier than them ;p
2. most of them (the straight ones) wont b jealous tt other guys r paying more attention to u ;p
3. they'll take care of u juz like how they take care of their little sis =)
4. they put up with ur whining n crapz ;p
5. they give u their guys' take on stuff
6. they can hang out n drink n watch soccer with u, without judging u =)
7. they'll chat with u abt the mkts, soccer n most stuff under the sun
8. they'll still chat with u, even when they r married or in a relationship =)
