Start a biz or work for others???

ahsun: =) Recently meet up with a friend from northland sec sch....his name was khairul....that funny and always full of jokes guy from my secondary school.... last time he was always the trigger for most of the laughters in class and also we were classmates from sec 1 to 4 lor... currently he's studying in NUS school of real estate studies but will be graduating soon..... bump into him and his gf at adam khoo's seminar recently about "Profit from the panic" seminar @ Amara Hotel and so got in touch with him again.... so he told me about recent complains and also some of his personal thoughts of a "Typical NUS/NTU Student" Mindset....which i think are quite true for the local students here....

They study to work for others....instead of daring to go out to venture....to explore....create business and startups....many of us are and will still look for jobs....look forward to getting into that famous big MNC company instead of creating income from their own business ideas....well it's not bad to get into big company to work in world class corporate ladder....climb up the corporate ladder....but there are some students who defy the norm and go against the wind....to strike out on their own....go the unconventional way....and by trial and error....hit success and enjoy the ride of a life time instead of following the normal way :

(Study->Get Degree->Find Job->Earn $$$+Save->Marriage+House Finance->Re-save for Retirement)....which normally they termed as the Rat Race competition...

Started as soon as we went into primary school....all the way until the period we graduate from out studies.... well there are cases whereby people gain success through their good academic results....through employment...but people out there....how did they gain success??? by creating their own business.....out of their niche or leveraging on other business ideas......hmmm....this is what i would like to think about....through some online research...i found some great sources for business-like-minded people....to source for ideas....schemes....routemap to follow or study so as to launch their own business or at least create new income sources.....to become one of the successful people in sg society...

Some of the useful websites for "entreprenuers-to-be" are :

Late Night Blading Session @ ECP -> Changi Village

ahsun: =)
Didn't really thought i could blade that far....wahahaha..... last saturday was really a crazy saturday for us ... Me, jy, rina, edwin & edwin's fren steven.... was scheduled to blade over at ecp initially but end up we blade all the way to Changi Village.... haha.... Meet up @ yishun with the rest with my rollerbalde....full of dust and had to clean it with wet tissues.... most digusting thing was that my legs at that point of time still peeling skins....eeeeeeee...... but managed to scrub them off lar....wahaha..... after that we went over to tampines for mac lunch...before heading over to ECP.....alighted at somewhere near victoria school and blade over via the underpass..... initially was a bit unsteady but managed to find back the "feel" of rollerblading....few months since i bladed..... but it was good.... some tips to ensure a good blading day :

1. Tighten up all loose strings / shoe lace
2. Wear thicker socks to prevent abrasion
3. Bring "Allen-key" in case any rollerblade rollers drop off....haha

We started from the underpass all the way to the bridge we need to cross over to ECP.....haha.... edwin was like blasting off steven for the rollerblade as steven was an apprentice..... haha.... v ke lian lor....anyway....we managed to reach a new place at ecp....the new playground for X-treme Sports and skaters with the dangerous obstacles and features over there....it's a new park for rollerbladers/bikers to go and perform stunts....practice....show what they have got...all the various tricks lor....nice place to be....but u need to be of certain standard to be able to play in there....or else....injuries with not stay far away from you....

After that "someone" (dunno who..) Decided we should go changi village since there's a park connector from ECP to Changi Village....little did we know....that it was a long road from ECP to changi....omg....it just feels like route march to me lor.... edwin,rina was ahead of us as jy needs to blade slowly and also to avoid those stupid seeds all over the route on the park connector....soooooo dangerous lor....but eventually we give up at changi beach there.....and walk all the way to changi village for dinner/supper....was really hungry and thristy throughout the journey man....haha.... but it's a different experience as we saw alot of planes taking off from changi airport runway.....but maybe next time can try using bicycle as it'll be much faster and safer...overall it was a nice experience.... =)

Long duration for the movie though....and crowded cinema....as expected.... movie was ok but the experience was not nice as there's some idiot shaking the seats....feel so annoyed....damn it.....but anyway.....those idiots left asap the movie ended..... here goes my reviews for the movies.....

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Reviews : 5 Stars for it... Storyline was like no beginning and no ending....though ending part leave down mystery for the story....but it doesn't create that kind of "urge" to catch the next part of harry potter series.....a bit disappointing though.... but i found that the story injected alot of jokes and humour into the story..to make it lively and at least not that bad....the part where dumbledore died....quite sad....haiz.... but.... spark an interest in me to buy the book and read....from what i know....book and movies are always not the same exactly.... haha....

Train Ride Journey Thoughts....

ahsun: =)

Have you even wonder about what are the things to do when u're travelling places to places via MRT ???

I noticed that most of the people will take a short nap regardless they're standing or sitting down.... look @ their hp for messages or play with PSP/Nintendo DS Lite, Listen to their MP3 players, Read Newspaper(applies for morning crowds).... but do people really look around and notice who are the ones standing beside them? or even sitting beside them? Had a difference and funny experience today while travelling to work... was boarding the mrt around 10am from yishun to tanjong pagar.... initially was tired as i slept late the night before and wanna take a nap.... so there i was standing at the usual centre cabin closing my eyes enjoying my songs....without noticing who was in front of me... until reached yck.... i opened my eyes and looked around.... noticed the person in front of me looked familiar.... but sometimes.... though u find the person familiar...will u approach the person directly?? Well cases of look-alike have been seen/experienced by myself who i use hp to call my fren directly just in case....and she picked up.... haha.... i was laughing out loud and she noticed "who's the weird guy call and hang up the phone.... looked up and saw me.... hahaha

"Woof" was heading to orchard for her work at wheel lock place.... such an coincidence to met her in the mrt train....i always find meeting someone familiar in the train to be vvvvvvv coincidence lor.... cos it's sooooooooo difficult to meet someone you know.... lest someone u didn't meet for v long.... hahaha.... but woof was not la...lolx....just met her recently for clown's bday celebration... we were sec sch frenz and she's with the DS gang one.... lol.... find that when gals grow up....makeup tends to be a bit heavy....but who doesn't change right??? hmmm... (realized i dun really like to change though forced by circumstances... and time....and environment.... u must change...) good to keep up with the time and also fashion sense will change with different life phases.... found out she just went KL to play for few days and will be graduating this aug.... in which she majored in Journalism and PR.... potential reporter...haha.... she alighted at orchard for work and there i was.... back went the ear phones and mp3 music blasting away....

Work for this week has been difficult to pass by....with fewer customers and also "crawling time" during work..... feel so tired, slpy and also sicky.... feel that sore throat coming right up....haiz.... need to brace myself up for more stuffs coming up ah..... busy busy and busy.....tmr evening meeting grp members for dinner at NTUC Union Centre 1 Marina Boulevard....haha.... hopefully can have a nice chat and meetup with my team members ba.... Dinner @ Lau Pa Sau.... looking forward to it.... =)

Good nite everyone~
