Wings of the Morrow...

Days of sorrow past me bye...
Like leaves of autumn falling...
One by another, So thus my golden years...
Like farmer tilling endless fields yet to no avail
Lament
May the morrow like a dove
Sprout thy wings and fly
Bring froth a golden plam leaf
Make my path ablaze with hope in morrow's flight...

The finacial boardgame that broaden your horizon...

Have had interesting afternoon attending a Finacial seminary at CMPB (PSC).

Basically, we sat down to play a board game to review our finacial paradigm. The session is organised by a company call the Maximas.

Initially, intention is just to go there and have fun and network (its a singles event). But end up, I think I was really benefited from this session of fun learning. Having a glimpse of my blind spot.

Here is my take-away:-

1) Equal Opportunities for everyone, but I over analyse the situations so much that missed out on the real deals. (the so call analyse analyse until paralysis)
- When come to money making opportunities, boldness is require(a fair amount of guts), looking at all angles are important but there is also a time window to every opportunities. Have to be more aggressive(for me).

Guess this maybe applicable in the area of Romance too...

What love is about?

Do you believe love in first sight.

I do.

But some are skeptical.

Remember a friend of mine once told me... When she first met her bf, it just felt they meant to be together. He felt that too. So sweet.

Hmmmmm, like a match made in heaven?

Oh God, the alpha and omega. Thou art such the great match maker! No wonder u said let there be light and it is so... It is good.

Or would you think... love can just be a one minute bejewel... it last as long as it is... and u get with what u get?

I am confused too, had a brushed with romance a couple of months back. But all it seems to gain is a bad after taste.

Attended a seminar last week titled "the art of flirting". Pretty enlightening, guess flirting is not one of my forte. The first thing the trainer stress on is pin-point accurate- have a decent expectation. Meaning don't be too choosy.

Haha, haven't really got into the seminar proper already fail on point 1. You might well say,"hey bro, look into the mirror lah. What u got there to be choosy?" Friends would not be so frank with ya... "lower your expectation...- if its unrealistic"- the trainer continued to say.

For me, beggar can't be chooser? Play the one-minute bejewel lah... What u see is what you get, take whatever that come...

No-No... That stupid cupid must be playing some tricks with me... Cause if I don't like what I see, how to go get? I rather aim for the cyber-cube or ultra-cube- The trainer mention once or twice a month, she woke up and wonder why she married to this person sleeping beside her... I wouldn't risk my whole life time wondering the same thought everyday would I? Or lunge myself on every skirt wearing creature, think there's a word for that- desperado. btw, creature doesn't equate to monster here, just a "creation of God" - couldn't be that bad huh.

Some great scientist found this law in the universe, "the opposite pole attracts"

How come it doesn't apply here huh, fugly should attract the gorgeous right...

I wait.

Finger crossed.

... "what is love about" indeed, whoooo can tell me?

P.S: my elighten friends, do drop a comment or pm if you can tell me...

How bout a Date with "Donald Duck"?

Sighz... Have been a week already. Ankle still sprained.

:(

Last week still went to see "Marley N Me" with a friend. It was a great movie if you like dog, story adapted from a book. The story surrounds the life of a Journalist and his wife and his children and most importantly his dog Marley.

I think its a beautiful movie but the tempo abit too rushed, trying to squeeze a long story line into a compact shell.

But sure enough, it offer us a peep at the fact the marriage could just be the grave for love. When two person commit themselves before God in a holy matrimony of Marriage. Often they do not know what is actually install for them ahead. When the dust of lovey dovey settles down... The work pressures, the car loan, the house loan, the children comes into the equation... And last thing you know, the finger pointing, raised voices... may even go to the verge of divorce. How really prepared are you for the Red Carpet now?

Nevertheless, be glad you are in Singapore, ample job opportunities, housing subsidies, baby bonuses to sweeten the deal...

Chinese got a very good saying, "You learn to appreciate your parents better when you become a parent yourself..."

In the midst of all that, the key is still communication. In a family, sacrifice is inevitable. It may be your plans, your dreams, your career at stake. Cannot be calculative over who put in more into a relationship or marriage... some things are intangible or unmeasurable. But consider this have we put in our best?

Haha... Before I killed too much brain cells trying to think about all these issues that is remotely related to my life at the moment... Now, a little pain in my ankle causing me to walk like "Donald Duck" for a limited period of time. How bout a date anyone?
