chuck Norris, a famous martial artist started his career in martial art in Korea(1965-1978).During the electron period,He was interview by a writer at CNN on the book he wrote titled "black belt patrotism" on how to remake Amercia by "giving people power in debt problem".
The only problem in America is that they doesn't tax well enough(Most of them don't really care about their debts), and the solution in this book seems to be making this problem worst and kicking logic out of the window by letting hardworking people pay tax for people who doesn't even care.And chuck Norris is dumbfounded by the these question raise by the writer on national television.
It a learning point for me, as i on my way to be a writer.On how fact, logic and idea must be deliver carefully by the word i chose.
Everybody made mistake, there is one wise man in a book i read once quoted "Wise man learn from their mistake, wiser man learn from other people mistake"
The recent months happening in the world, made these a time to learn from other people mistake.
Firstly, this is the tainted milk product FROM china.Using chemical that is something like plastic to raise protein level of diluted milk?!!
Causes close to thousand of china baby having kidney problem because their kidney can't get rid of it as it form crystal inside it (I think china need to re plan on their one child policy).
Making the wise word like"there is no shortcut to success" and "be patience" a whole new level.
Secondly, is the shaky status of insurance giant AIG, making ton of people in Singapore that is holding AIA policy giving up their policy(some of them queuing up is not a policy holder they just want to catch the excitement).
The wise word here is "Never say never, never say even", "Risk is part of life"
and my favourite "only simpleton believe everything they heard".(this for policy holder who believe in the agent and not doing research by themselves)
And lastly,the recent news of national service man's sub machine gun(yes, a powerful assault rifle use in war.Not the small gun you saw in "heart lander" on channel 5) misfire at another NS man groin(Nutcracker!!!) and the mystery death of another NS man during training.
The wise word to here is "Take care of yourself, because nobody will" and "pray more, because you need it"
So it ok to made mistake, we are all here to learn.

30th sep 2008(A day)
I got a friend, who quoted something like " too much of a good thing is not good".I got a lot of off days and it landed all over the calendar(means it not fix).You might say it good, but to be honest i getting bored.It mean to Having to strain my mind to think of thing to do.
I began to "envy" people who are working office hour, but then again "too much of a good thing is not good".The office hour people have to work five days in a week and that mean total of twenty five days in a month, doing the same stuff smelling the stuff.So i counted myself lucky.
Have you even think of stuff like, what is there to entertain us in this small but successful country we are standing on?
I too began to think of this question because i really need to think of such question(staying at home too much isn't healthy)
Let's me share with you some of the thing i had done so far, so as to serve as a tips to let you plan for your weekend or weekday(if you are doing shift work like me)
At early this year at the month of April, i went to take course on NCAP at civil service college located at bouna vista, which is a course for coaches. As you all know i love martial art and it is a sport, so i wanted to get closer to sport people and at the same time learn some new skill. I meet up with my primary school friend Ted, and his coaching buddies.And have a lot of fun chatting and learning at the same time.After taking the test and get our Cerf we are a much more happier person.
At June, i began to "shopping" for martial art.The first choice i go is to check up a karate dojo at McCain road near Boon keng, the surrounding place got this "classical feeling", and the dojo is really cool.. However it abit far, even though i a rider and the place give me the feeling like there is going to be a lot of children training in it.I ended up going to look for sanshou(wushu sparring) at woodland community centre and found out that it has close down.
Finally on one Thursday night, i went to check up a special freestyle karate at kim seng Community centre and found out, that it really doesn't suit my shift timing and the member is like only a handfuls. feeling discourage, i sat on my bike and left for turf city at bukit timah where J H kim taewondo school is at.And the administer at the school really give her time to explain to me about how the school is like.So i joined at July.
At August, i get to know a "pillion buddy".She tag along with me to explore Singapore.We went to changi beach,bedok,hongaug,sengkang,tampiness,cityhall,holland village,clementi road,bukit timah and finally bishan.
My favourite is the changi beach, it is nice and quiet.really give the feeling like it is the outskirt of Singapore.And of course we witness a big fire at johor side during our short stay at changi beach.
In closing, i have done thing like taking course,take up sports and go sight seeing. Singapore isn't a boring place after all.

29 sept 2008 (pressure)
pressure is the force acting on an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface.
i found the definition of pressure in the wikipedia wed site, in simple form it like putting air in a balloon, the air create pressure in the balloon and if the balloon can't take it anymore it will explore in your face(if you are using the mouth).
i observe that the starting of putting pressure in any container is easily and fast, but when the pressure start to build up, putting any more pressure inside is hard and slow.
NO, I'm not writing science stuff.. it will put you to sleep.(And that made me a very failure writer)
I observe that whatever law is at physic seems to apply the same to our mind and body when it comes to achieving our goal.
I remember when i took on this job,saving money,train up,self discipline myself into praying,rejoin martial art(finally after 5 years) everything seems easy at the start. It feel easy, new , refreshing.
At work, i looking forward to report in early, ask a lot of questions, volunteer to take on new task and improve on whatever mistake i made.
At sport, every off day i will go to training and go to you tube to check up how to execute certain moves.doing flexibility training.
Everything is good.easy,fun and en joyful.
As time when pass, thing becoming harder.
At work, I began to turn up late at work,stop asking question,lose the interest and sometime slacking off.
At sport, i began to get lazy at training,turn up less for class and began to train lesser at home.
What is the reason behind all this? the reason is pressure.
I began to feel stress as i encounter with difficulty and i don't know how to handle it.i forgot the first feeling i got when i first started off.It is the most common thing people have face, and being human i also experience it.
the answer to this question i found is knowing what you want. As I began to ask myself is this what i want? and the answer is "Yes". And strangely after i got the answer, the "pressure" seems to go away.
I found the energy to do all the thing i planned to do, and relive the first feeling i got for the things i enjoy doing.
For today it is the same principle apply, i didn't feel like writing, i feel like just quitting.But this is what i wanted to do, i have to discipline myself even though i don't feel like writing.
there is a different being wanting to do it and a need to do it.I got the perfect situation that i encounter to explain my point;
There are time in my past, when i was in my ex Church, i didn't WANT to go and i didn't WANT to do thing they told me to do.
It is something that i FEEL that NEED to do(i am a responsible christian last time, but now a catholic still loving God only). The speaker really talk his way through, and i was struggling with myself and peer pressure, i know in my heart that my love is at martial art.(if you end up fighting with you self, you end up on the floor whether you win or lose).
They always "encourage" them to do certain things like turning up for chruch's event( by putting unwanted pressure and peer pressure on you), and "encourage" by your peers in chruch to turn down whatever plans you have in order to attend their events.Even plan like visiting your parent who is in the hospital, they will "encourage" you to turn it down.(i not making this up)
the things that i mention is the perfect case study to let you know what kind of pressure get you ahead like a good compress natural gas cylinder(CNG) that power up a car and what kind of pressure made you burst like a balloon.
After all diamond are create under high pressure underground.

28th sep 2008(the bright side)
There are times when you went into the lift and your neighbour started asking "what you are doing now?" and you answered "i working now" and they will smile and say that you are being responsible of your life.
Sound uplifting?There is always two side to one situation.
Work give people the satisfaction of them making themselves useful, giving their service to the company which made up part of the financial grow of the country.
Having a lot of work available in the country, made the country strong and rich.It made us independent as we are spending our own bucks.
Some of you might be thinking of stuff like "who give the heck about the country? I sick of having to work everyday and get so low pay when everything is going up" You might say that you didn't want say about the "country" stuff, but come on, i know that we don't normally say stuff that school or the society tell us NOT to say. but it the truth.
The fact is, not every job you have to work everyday behind the desk letting the computer starring at you sleeping or standing in a shopping centre starring at ceiling(counting the lines and spiders) doing stuff that are totally giving you the "blues".If you are willing to get real extreme, work can be fun and come with a lot of money.
There are total of 72 Lines, both include white collar and blue collar jobs.From pest control,car washer,salesman,technician,logistic,marine, solider,police officer, air stewardess,private investigator,broker,fire fighter, pastor,martial art instructor,dispatch rider,chief,chemist, gym instructor,sport man(this is tough in Singapore),dance instructor,dancer, singer(in a small club),social escort,IT specialist,nurse, doctor,man hunter(there are already three Singaporean went to Indonesian to hunt for Mr Mas),journalist,hairdresser,banker,farmer,fisherman,gravedigger, undertaker.....ETC
The list can on and on.
a Desk bound job is way out of the fashion for me, i used to know an "answer man"(people who thought they know what is best for you) who happen to be a leader in Church(ex-Church actually) who told me to just find a normal desk job and live my life safely and i did landed myself on the job(the pay was really out)
by the grace of God, i did get fired from the job after three months(God knows best) and i landed myself as a chemical technician and i find this job really out of the ordinary .(And the pay is rewarding), it been 11 month and i really learn a lot about myself from this job.
i am really regret for even to listen and follow the "answer man"
I didn't say desk bound is not good, it just not for me. A job is a personal choice based on what you really want in your life and not on some "answer man".Job is a divine calling from the man above.
Happy working.
