A Couple had planned for a picnic on a romantic Sunday afternoon at changi beach.When the day had arrived, it was raining heavily.The boyfriend don't want to see his girlfriend disappointed and cracked his brain to find solution.He rented a car for a day, brought a few fast food and fetched his girlfriend to mount Faber.He parked his car on the submit and the couple have the picnic in the car while enjoying the view from mount Faber in the rain.
Another couple plan to just relax on east coast beach.When the day had arrived,it happened to be raining heavily also.So the boyfriend had a change of plan.He called his girlfriend and said that he was busy.So the guy spend the whole day playing video games at home.
Both guys from the stories had a change of plan, but only one person had achieved his actual intention.
I once had a friend who told me to stay in a place where i took all kind of alternative solution and nothing seems to turn out well, he got very frustrated(very fast) and said i was a quitter.I was confused at that time between when to actually give up and when to keep on trying.Eventually, i left the place to look for the solution.
I learned that taking alternative means trying to achieve the same goal by taking different approaches and methods.
It may sound easy, it will get harder once the pressure get high and quitting become the easy way out.
In our daily life, we can find all sort of people looking for alternative solution.
Foreigner having a tough time making a living at their own country, leave their country to look for a better life.
When i was younger, i saw this documentaries about a cancer patient.
The doctor said he has cancer, and chances for him to recover is very mild.He is going to die.
The patient(this guy is from japan) refuse to resign to his fate.He decided to take alternative measures.
He begin to spend his time researching on books that taught him all kind of ways to boost his health.
He took all kind of raw vegetable and vitamin pills everyday.He exercises to keep fit and keep himself thinking positivity everyday.He try yoga and a weird of exercise that allow him to "bath" in the sun everyday.
After years, the doctor examined him and found that he was cured.
The question here is this, he did drop the idea of going to the hospital to receive treatment.Is he a quitter?
I believe there is a grey area for any person to be label a quitter or conqueror when it comes to finding an alternative solution.It's either a "political" view or a personal view to label the person.

24th Nov 2008(shaky)
I once work as a salesman who sell bank loan to people who doesn't seems to wants it.Before we were to send into actual work,We were being train by a guy who call himself a "top salesman" who is very experience in the area of sales.The trainer or the "top salesman" is very charismatic in his speech
He told us that working for a bank is the best thing.He point out that working with financial related line is the most stable as people need bank for loans and deposit of money.Banks never run out of money.
His theory was prove wrong during this time of "financial tsunami".As DBS has fired 900 of their employee.And in the recently news, Citigroup has fired more than thousands of employees.
Words spoken by man is never final.I've learned this truth from experience.The only thing that last in a man is his Principal.
Words spoken by a person,mix with confidence and charismatic attitude,can made even the most educated person can be deceived.
By the recently news, most of us would have spotted a common trend in telling the reader of people getting cons or mislead by timeshares,structures bonds and shaking insurance investment.
Television program even started to question about the stability of insurance policy.
Which made people wondering who to trust, and where to find stability in this even changing world
People all have interior motive, and trusting an influence people will lead to being manipulated by them.By sabotaging ourselves in believing in their words, we can't blame anyone but ourselves
Prehaps it time to put trust on the "old fashion things" like wisdom and Principal?

8th Nov 2008(Expectation)
Expectation is hoping for the best thing that can possible happen.
I once had a great expectation of getting this girl, to be my girlfriend,who i like when i was training in martial art in my secondary school time.After a giving in hard effort of trying and years of waiting, she suddenly told me that she went to America to study for five years.And she didn't even say anything about "waiting for her".
Of course that incident is only a little part of my life.
There is a lot of things beside the incident that I've mention which i have given great expectation or what people call it "hopeful thinking".
However, the higher the expectation.The greater the shock when things didn't turn out as i expected it to be.
I began to lower my expectation of things as i begin to set high goal with very detail planning and "baby step" to start my first step on everything.
Most of the time, i didn't even expect anything good out of anything and i learn to be happy on the small and simple thing in life, such as eating and breathing.
So far the things that had happen this year to me has been way above my expectation.
My level of expectation didn't raises as things goes my way, as the fear build up as i had been repeatedly hitted by the "shock" over the years..

4th NOV 2008(black November)
It's another happening month.
This month i was suprise by a called that i was hired by St.mary of Angel newspaper ministry to write for their paper.
I was on cloud nine when i heard this as i was planning to be hired as a volunteer writer within six month and i got hired within a month.
As a freelance writer, i need to gain experience first before selling my skill to client, as the time used for experience gaining, i can accumlate my portfolio.
Every November, I was taught by experience a very importance lesson on decision making.
It is true to what they say, "what are your choices that you made today determine where you are tomorrow"
I still remember it is this month that i made all the decision that turn my life upside down.From quitting a job,found another Job, to leaving (chrismatic)chruch,to enjoy Sin like there is no God in my heart, to made a decision to be fully bapist and finally to join an educational insitute.
It is every year of this month, that situation will turn out either the worst of it or the best of it, base on my decision.
In 2006 November, i learned that there is no such thing as shortcut in life, looking for shortcut to success is like building a road to failure.I thought i can made friends easily in chruch and get my degree easily from a private school and earn near to ten thousand every month.However things is not how i think it was.And all didn;t work out.
It takes time,patience,characther and situation(bad situation) to build up a friendship that last.Not just come together for some event and ask to smile at each other.And getting a degree is about how much commitment a person is willing to put in to learn the skill.that includes going down and dirty on the field and on the job to gain that experience.
At 2007 November, i learned that lied is everywhere.Yes, it everywhere.It is a truth which i not lying.
From courtship between lover, to work colleague, to a speech of "hope" from a saleman or financal planner and a chruch leader that speaks beautifully of how you can depend on him.
And lies is like a principle of building a house on a sand.It is easy to build,but as weather gets bad everything goes down.
Lies is like honey, it is very sweet.It is a fairytale.skillful liar wants the listener to do what they say in order to feed them more "honey".And liar love to give their listener half the truth.And in every lies, there is alway a fix ending of hope.
Truth is painful, truth is harsh.There is no fairytale in it and there is never a fix ending.But the way of truth lead to life and a peace of mind which worth more than Gold or diamond.
At 2008 November, i learn the reason behind the bondage of sin.And why the saint said that "there is no freedom in Sins".It take me though an emotional torture and hell to know this truth.One mistake in enjoying Sin and the punlishment is not afterlife but It is a death sentence to the life we are living in.And the toture will last in the person heart on every single breath he takes till his last breath.
This is not a religious peaching!!turn away from sin!!it has no benefit in it.One mistake in Sin and everyday of your life is like living in hell.Burn by guilt, shame,and toture to your mind,body and soul!!turn away from sin!!run away like you saw a ghost,run away like someone is going to beheaded you.Don't get near it.Get volient if someone wants tempt you to Sin.It worth beating up someone who tempt you,then fall to the temptation of Sin.
A peace of mind is worth everything.
