2010...










Next yr I got bad health le... Better take more chicken essence

General

This will be a great year for you to execute your plans, especially in the areas of your career and wealth and you will also be given the necessary authority to do so. While your responsibilities and job scope increases, you might also have difficulty focusing. You will also not want to attempt handling everything on your own. Having many loyal supporters will also be very beneficial to you during this year as with many things to do and little time to do so, you might tend to be more moody and less tolerant than usual. However you will be able to manage your temper well. There might be a tendency to compromise your own health and that might result in unstable health conditions. Thus, you might want to delegate some of your responsibilities in order to have some time for yourself to rest and keep healthy. Although your wealth luck will not be very good this year, it will still be above average and you will even be able to save more money compared to last year. Relationship matters will only be average this year. Your elders’ might have very poor health and safety this year that might even be life threatening. As such you might want to take special precautions to reduce the possibility of such incidents occurring.

Career

This year will be a great time to manifest your career dreams as you will be bestowed the power and authority to carry out bigger plans. With more power and authority, will come a wider job scope and heavier responsibilities. Thus you might find yourself being stretched where your personal time and health is concerned. Since you will have too many things on your plate, your focus and concentration will be weaker than average and you might tend to overlook details or forget matters. You might also want to avoid making impulsive decisions and for any important matters, you should give more time to look through the details before coming to any decision. The loyal and supportive allies that you have formed over time will come in very handy this year as they will be able to watch over you and lighten your workload. “Delegation” will be the key word for you. As there will be a greater tendency to have inadequate rest resulting in weaker health, your tolerance level will be lower than usual. You will need to watch your temper and keep your health at an optimal level in order to utilize your good career opportunities. If you are in business, this will be good year to consider expanding. Expansion of business will not imply that you rush into increasing your headcount or expanding the size of your premises. Instead you might want to look at the fundamentals of your business and consider expanding your business taking a practical and realistic approach where your success rate will be higher than in previous years. When you are launching such expansion plans, there will be many matters that you will need to attend to from legal, financial to operational matters. Due to having too many matters to attend to you might overlook or forget things. Thus, it will be best to have someone that you can trust to help you during this crucial period. Not only will the person be able to double check on matters, they will also be able share the workload with you. It will not be realistic to try to do everything by yourself even though you might not want to trust others completely, you will certainly need some help. As you will also be more grumpy than usual this year, you might not want to let this affect your judgment and your relationship with people who will be able to support you.

Wealth

Your wealth luck will be above average this year. Although there will be signs of your career advancement, this might not necessarily translate into better remuneration and you might want to negotiate for it. Even if your requests might not be granted immediately, your superiors will look into your increment at the appropriate time. Your side wealth luck will be average. If you are in business or earning via sales and commissions, you might need to invest in expanding your business though the returns might not be immediate. This will be a year to sow your seeds in order to reap the fruits of your labor later.

Relationship

Your relationship matters will remain stable and quiet this year as your focus will be on your career, wealth and health as those areas will require more of your time and effort. If you are single, there will be a high likelihood of being so preoccupied that you will not notice people being interested in you. If you are in a relationship, you might respond in an indifferent manner. Even if there are some relationship issues that annoy you, it will be best to express your unhappiness in a very subtle manner. You might also prefer not to rock your relationship during this period.

Health

You will be prone to falling ill and most of the health problems will be due to inadequate rest, irregular meals, and a poor immune system. Though time will be very precious, you will not want to abuse your body by allowing time for rest and having regular meals. No matter how busy you might be, do not compromise your health as good health will be the foundation of your success. In order for you to run the extra mile, you will need to have good health. Apart from your own health, you might want to keep an eye on your elder’s health and safety as there might be the possibility of life threatening incidents.

People

People will be wary about you and will think twice about backstabbing or betraying you because you will be gaining more authority in career/business and will have a lot of say in terms of deciding the career advancement of others. Even though this might be so, it will not mean that there will not be daredevils trying to challenge you. You will continue to be vulnerable in that you will have too many things on your plate and might tend to overlook details or forget matters that might open you up to attacks. Thus, you will still need loyal friends or subordinates to watch over you and lighten your workload during this time. However, you will need to be careful in identifying these people who will support you.

Less time to blog...

Been having less and less time nowadays to blog or fb... seems like life is getting busy again.

Guess it's a good thing though, cos I somehow feel that the more u had to go online, the more it meant that u aren't really occupied enough. But still, I do feel that I should share some thoughts with friends sometimes.

At work, I have been spending some time thinking about what I wan to do and what I wanna achieve. And I guess while I have yet to have a solution, I'm putting a lot more effort at work now, so that, when the time comes, I wont be too slouchy to move on.

At home, it feels kinda comforting, that I have moved on from staying in a rented room to my own place. And that I have a place to call home. Life as usual is snoozy, but we're doing much more things now. Still haven dragged myself to apply for the cooking class yet.

And sleep is becoming precious. Talking about sleep... I should take 5 winks now... yawn..

And oh.. Atai...before I forget, the next time I go down to Burger King for a burger... I will enquire for u ya....
Nite nite!

PS...













Happy Halloween! Muahahaha...

Flea Market!!










China Square Central la... not Central Square.. heh

I lectured 1000 ppl!

Can't believe I just finished 2 sessions of training! Each had like close to 500 ppl! Was trying my best not to finish too fast, but I ended up doing my 45 minute sessions in 20 and 15 mins.

First round, when my lecture ended, out of the norm, I asked, "Are there any questions?" One guy in the front row said, "Like wat?" Hahaha.
Well, as I walked to the back of the hall, there was one question though, a participant stood up and gave me hand signals, which I surprisingly understood as 'Can we leave?' I did hand signs, and surprisingly, he understood 'Sit down, not yet'.

Second round, and the administrators came over to ask me if it was ok to leave the doors open because someone either had diarrhoea, or stepped on something. I told them that there was vomiting smells at the corridor leading to the lecture hall, and enthusiastically they grabbed their air fresheners, and ran out to eliminate the smell.

Finished the lecture in 15 mins, and the next lecture said "Ah Tong, sibeh kin lei!" and I responded "Not first time also.. heh". Why he called me 'Ah Tong' all of a sudden I really dunno.

On a seperate note, I just found out that my boss' christian name is Roger, that teaching 2 classes in a row is really tiring and that I suck at teaching. There goes my career with MOE.

I'm sooo beat...

Washed the matress covers, swept and mopped the floors, scrubbed the toilets, washed the mats... pant pant.. all in a morning's work. Sometimes feel like a guy maid.

Had dim sum after that though ...mmm... nice..

Working from home..

Working from home really isn't half bad.... apart from having to eat my own cooking. Feels good just looking out into greenery after a rainy day. It just feels serene... staying in the comfort of your own home.

Naruto Manga..







Have been watching naruto manga @ http://www.mangavolume.com/ during my free time. The anime is simply coming out too slow. Can't wait for the next episode though, cos Shippuuden is finally becoming a little bit more interesting.
Wished they had it all in color though, the black and white pages are really less appealing.

Home made lemongrass juice...

Bought some lemongrass and tried making this at home.


For those who want to try,

1) Wash and cut the lemongrass half and remove the root and any yellow leaves.
2) Thump the lemongrass with the blunt side of the knife to make it easier to release juice when boiling.
3) Put in hot water and bring to boil, then lower the fire and simmer for 1.5 hrs.
4) Add sugar and/or ice to liking.

Repair

Just brought the car to the service center early this morning, cause the spoiler came out.










Wonder how this small guy actually holds the spolier down....
