My one big goal comes along with a handful of small little goals to be fulfilled. Being successful is of course almost everyone’s ultimate goal but everyone’s definition of ‘Successful’ is different. To me, to live a fruitful life with no regrets is having led a successful life. So what’s considered as Fruitful to me?I am currently pursuing my professional certification in SAICSA so that I have the paper qualification to earn a better living that contributes to fulfilling my dreams. However, just by earning more money through a job advancement via a 9 – 5 job is not enough! I want to achieve and accomplish my targets in the shortest time possible. Time and tide waits for no man. The rule of thumb is to Not to Waste Time.
Firstly, I have to pass all my modules without staying back for anyone of it. Otherwise, I will spend another 5months to clear the failed module which is such a waste of time. Secondly, in order to pass all these modules, I need to revise, practice and understand. I like what my lecturer often tells us: “People say to have the knowledge at your fingertips, but do you think by having those knowledge and concepts at your fingertips help? NO, because it slips easily at the tip. You need to have the knowledge drilled into your PALMS, not fingertips! This way, the knowledge will not fall (be forgotten) easily because they exist in your Palms, not fingertips. 1 question, do 3 times. Practice more and understand the concept. This way, you will have an easy time doing revision!”
Earning at least twice as much than current payout will be achieved in 1 year’s time after graduating. This is my short-term goal; to achieve my certification in due course.
Next, baby and my ultimate destination to visit is both our favourite soccer team’s home ground; Old Trafford and Anfield follow by a trip round Europe. So, we gotta save up a lot a lot a lot on top of our very own love nest. xD As mentioned in the previous sentence, yes, Love nest. I want to have my very own home so much. I’m sick and tired of doing the housework every time they make a mess out of almost everything. For this, money is the main factor. Scrimp and Save; my motto of living life now.
Last but not least, to be happy everyday is the most important!
Next post will be some accrued updates! Hehz.

Went there for IC and CH’s farewell cum welcome dinner 2 years back! Not only did we have an unforgettable time together, the good food we had left a deep impression in GS, SAM and me. Last month, for our favourite DGM’s farewell and also to welcome both MH and IEM, we went there again!Although I was armed with a camera this time round, I didn’t snap a lot simply because I was drifted away by the aroma of those wonderful dishes served. Savouring them was the first thought that came to my mind and taking pictures was secondary.
Long granny story of introduction cut short; let’s move on to the main dish!
A beer each was the SOP in our division before dinner starts. Shortly after placing each of our orders for Entrée, Main and Dessert since the set menu was not set by the chef yet. Then, the waitress serves us our all time favourite food; Bread! The 3 guys and I couldn’t stop helping ourselves to the fluffily soft homemade bread and by dipping it into the saucer of olive oil spilled with loads of vinegar; it made everything a tad more heavenly!
As much I love savoring the melting sensation of Foie gras, I decided to go for the Carpaccio instead and boy, I thought that was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life man! Freshly cut veal topped with grounded black pepper, omg! Speechless!Psst: the reason why I was willing to opt for Carpaccio over Foie gras was because GS agreed to trade a mouthful of his Foie gras for a slice of my veal… this way, we can both taste those 2 fantastic appetizers with no regrets! Lolx.
Not forgetting that our Wine Manager’s choice of white wine to go with the entrée was excellent! Shaw Smith’s Chardonnay and Margret River’s Sauvignon Blanc, smooth and aromatic!
Next, the 4 of us (GS, BW, IEM and I) had the same dish; Tenderloin Steak! Yummy Yummy! It so goes well with the red wine that IEM chose, Margret River’s Pinot Noir.
Steak was nicely done up accordingly to our preference; Medium rare.
Last but not least, dessert and coffee to wrap things up! When it comes to desserts, I am always spoilt for choices lah!A picture tells a thousand words; hence I shall stop here and let you enjoy salivating over the pictures! =P

Don't go into a relationship with an objective to fulfill; Fall into a relationship to enjoy love. Even if everything turns out ugly one day, thank the love for writing that chapter in your life. To me, this is what love’s about. Love will never turn into hate. It’s those who couldn’t see far & beyond that ends up hating love. Come on, stretch your hand out & embrace all those love. No matter what kind of love, even if it’s a morally incorrect one, just live for yourself. Ignore those criticism & finger pointing; those people have nothing better to do. Take it as a good deed done to fulfill their inner desire of being a judge.Composed at 11:53 am | link |

I have always been a fan of SM's blog. I find his words filled with wisdom and never fail to set one thinking/reflecting. I've learned alot from him, Milo and Powder in the forum.What he said here (http://simpleman.multiply.com/journal/item/740) was very very very well said. I totally agree! Though it's old news already, but his blog post should wake those people up!

But I guess I have reached a stage of life in which others (except my children) opinion mean very little to me. I don't care for a moment what others think of me or who I am with. People always thought they know better and that they are by-standers and they can see more clearly. To me, mostly how we see others are clouded by our very own prejudice. And who are we to judge others? The people who are too eager to judge others should look at themselves in the mirror. A lot of things are not what they seem to be. A lot of people are much more or much less than what they appear to be.

His words are so true that it set me thinking and reflected on my past actions too.
