Love is Everywhere

Today is a day full of love and warmth. 

I always love my company colleagues, they are friendly and lovely. No politics issue there. A great environment to work in =)

Just today, one little incidence really touches me and God's grace is wonderful.

After a tedious day, with a super tiring body, I ask my collegue Robson to send me to MRT station because I miss the company bus. Robs is a nice guy who always kacau me in the office. 

Well, little waiting and then finally can leave the company. He even offers me to bring me to Jurong east, where I want to go. So niceeee.

We chit chat and then , dingdong, reach the destination. I happily say Thankiu and Goodbye. Walking towards the shopping mall, and enter Topman shop with a little Chinese New Year Feel. But stomachache forces me to leave the shop very soon. Then I put my hand into my pocket to KePo a bit what happens on Facebook. BUT wait! Where is my Phone!!! Omg... I dropped it on Robson de car. Sienzzzzz. 

I have to live without my phone for 3 days because he is on leave tomorrow. Haiz. I tell myself, yes, I can survive , I can survive! Then with depressed emoness I going to my destination. I keep imagining Robs appears in front of me and passes me my beloved Mi3. Aikzzz.

Who really knows. He suddenly appears in front of me! And say "Wah Piang, your phone and you make me purposely come here and pass you this lo". OMG, Thanks God, I really didn't expect this. He purposely make a big Uturn and paid for unnecessary parking fee, just to return my phone. T.T no tears but feel so touched!!! He 看死 (bet) me cannot live without the phone, which is somehow a bit true (don't wanna admit, haha).

I really appreciate his kind action and this instantly cheers up my day. Ya, world is full of cruelty and unscrupulous people, but there are angel like people who do love and care about others. I always think that, if everyone on this earth is full of Love, then this will be a perfect world. Nevertheless, we can't always hope others to be nice to us; we should be the one who gives love to others, even if it is a small help or prayer. Like Jesus's selfless sacrifice on the cross.

Let's make this world more loveable. 

As a first step, please love me more. Hahahaha. God Bless Everyone =D

ASUS, JUST TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Hope I can get along very well with it.
Imagine the guy below is me, the smile shows happiness and satisfaction.

Ok, it is time to stop my imagination.
Gonna tighten my tummy and save money! haha.

BIG Project

Yup, I kinna ambitious guy with self-entertaining confidence. I believe I can do something great, but who knows I can or cannot. I just Try. I complained that I am lack of big projects on hand so I appreciate those big ones with me. However those big ones have to be handed over to others as I am assigned into another team. Well, in short, i despo for big and exciting project.

Out of sudden, I was assigned one, but Christmas plus new year made the thing moved so slow at the beginning. After the holiday season, everything moves in lightning speed. I need to submit a quotation for the big project in two and a half day! Joke! Such a big project (not gigantic) and I have so less time?! However somehow I feel I can make it because the system is simple. So without second thoughts, I know I want to go in full force.

Two nights of OT and tomorrow is the deadline. I don't know how it goes and have no confidence on the result. I pray and really thanks God for His invincible encouragement. Whenever I feel tired and fed up, He asks me to calm down and helps me through angels around me.

TOMORROW gonna be another tired yet ending day. I will submit the quote and hand this to God. He will decide and lead me the way.

Jiayou , I say to myself. Wake up time: 6am. God Bless and Good night.

Keep Getting Inspired, Motivation to Move Forward

Ladies and Gentlemen, to improve my English writing, I have decided to write blog more frequently and enthusiastically.

Thinking what to write is challenging especially I feel so sleepy now. Ok. Let's share about an inspiring Video from TEDx. Thanks my friend KayNe for introducing me this motivational speech.

Please spend some time to watch and get inspired by a 12 years old boy. Never look down a youth, as they have the most potentials! haha. I am a youth too. Only 24. Sorry~ 

In summary, never try never know! Fear has stopped us way too much!

Undeniably we live in a structured world and society. Our destinies are seemed to be framed nicely. Grow up, get good grades, get good job, get good wife, get good kids, get good retirements and get good graveyard. Oops. 

On this path of framed life, we are indirectly nurtured to be afraid of doing something different (of course not applicable to everyone). Imagine when a friend tells you, he/she wants to quit degree before the final paper, Or she/he wants to be a barista even though holding a scroll of medical certificate on hand, Or she/he wants to quit right before a promotion to be head of department, 
what first goes into your mind. 

For me, first impression: "What a WASTE!"

Yup, I believe that is (almost) everyone's reaction. Agree? Raise up your legs please. 

Thanks to our great successful businessman like Bill Gate, they give the world example that different path doesn't mean destined failures. Everyone love this kind of inspiring stories. 

When seeing others getting so awesome after they have chosen the road not taken, you will feel impressed and think nothing is impossible. 
But, 
will you act like them? 

It comes back to, when you see a wonderful opportunity that requires your sacrifices, are you willing to TRY?
Like the Little Red Dot described by Daniel in the video.
 Think about it.

You might say "I am waiting the miraculous opportunity to come to me". Then please do grab some popcorn and coke, sit and wait, until you lose all your energy to do the powerful JUMP.

Opportunity can be created by you, with your own hands. You do not need to wait until the apple drops and knocks your head. Explore the world more and rip out all the hidden treasures. 
TRY, with your best, to discover your limitless potentials and run joyfully towards your goals.   

This short blog serves a reminder for me. Hope it also triggers some thoughts in your mind.
I hope I can keep getting inspired and with the flaming heart, I can move towards my goals. Anticipate my powerful jump, to a ground that I feel satisfied and proud of myself. 

Remember that, dream is merely a dream if you didn't work it out. 
Actions speaks always louder than words. 

Let's enjoy the journey of pursuing our dreams.
God Bless Us All.

Good night. 

First Impromptu Speech in Toastmaster

Yay,one of new year resolutions is to involve more in Toastmaster. Not only for English public speaking improvement, also for social networking.

A annual fee of 530 SGD is not a big deal for me, I believe I can gain a lot and improve tremendously. Thinking of wasting time playing DOTA, I have to raise up both legs to agree on this right decision.

Toastmaster Club of Singapore. The biggest and pioneer club in Singapore where a lot of talents gather. As a person who strives under pressure, I want to be better than them. This is my motivation! I have strong faith that I can and this time will not be 3 min enthusiasm again.

As a good start of 2016, I have raised my my shy hand today to grab attention from the tabletopic coordinator. Thanks God this round I get selected. My nervousness gone when I am standing on the stage. Paying attention to the topic chosen for me, I actually do not understand the topic. There is an English word which I don't know the meaning. (This show how bad my English is). Then I show my naively lost face with a lot of questions marks. The kind coordinator explains again and I roughly got it. "After I am dead, what will I wish the rest to remember me." I think I still don't catch the topic. Whatever! Haha.

Holding the mic, I have nothing in my mind. Blank! Seriously blank. I have started my speech with greeting and continued with nonsense which I almost forget all (even forgotten it after only an hour later). A debris of memory tells me that I am trying to say I am a funny, exaggerated and cheerful person. Hope people think of this when they remember me. I believe audience below will think "chek this guy is not funny at all", "this guy is not as what he proclaims" and etc.

When rewinding back, I should have bullshitted like I wish people remember me as a gigolo, or witchcraft, or lion dancer, or etc even after I am dead. Well, it is true that, there are three speeches ; one is speech you prepared; one is speech you given; one is speech you wished to give.

I just think my ending is considered ok. I said, "Please do talk to me more and know me better, so you will remember me after I die, thank you". At least there are some laughters. Hehe.

Yes I rated myself 1/10. One mark is for my ending and normal heartbeat without shaky words. And I only say "er" for twice. Yay.

Hmph, undeniable I so wish my first speech can be impressive enough. But think of this, I may not be born as a good speaker, I can work it out and be one!

How I can improve my impromptu speech! Of course practice makes perfect. Raise up my hand more and Go up to stage more. Furthermore, once got the topic, take 10 sec to think of something to talk about. Do not rush to say good evening ladies and gentlemen. Construct some storylines and bring up some significant points related to the given topic. Main problem with me is Lack of Ideas. Should start to do more thinking and practice my brain. Lastly, Enjoy the stage. =)

Yup, it could be not a good first time but it is surely a great start for the year. Break through the mental obstacles and counter the fear! As time goes, I will get better and better. Thanks God for the encouragement and seeing the positive side of today experience. I am shocked that I didn't immerse myself in disappointment. Awesome and praise the Lord.

Continue to get improved and be a better speaker. Fighting!!! Don't just dream, act it!

Life in SG: Toastmaster Club Singapore

Hmph, do you guys feel that, the smoother the time flies, the more you indulge in your comfort zone. Yeah, I believe human being is an adaptive species, we can adapt and find a way to make ourselves comfortable. If Life goes on without major obstacles or interesting opportunities, changes are what we don't want most! 要稳定，不要乱!!!

Yes, once stepped in comfort zone, it takes double the efforts to step out. You agree? 

Don't agree? Who cares. Haha

For me, I have wasted too much time! Alamak!

It is time for self improvement and be a better me! I don't want to be maggie mee but better Mr. Tee.

Ok what things I can do?! My friend shared with me 7 skills/things we can do or learn. The final goal is, we can use these skills to earn a living. 

Language, photography, culinary, music, sports, wrtting and investment. It takes me 5 minutes to write these 7 stuffs down! Short-term memory! Tired die my brain.

Yeah all sound good. Nothing is bad except you don't even try. May be you got the hidden talent in cooking leh? Who knows?

For me, I am trying something that I heard long time ago, but didn't get a chance to join. Which is.... drummmminngggg...

Toastmaster

Ngek. Who heard about this before, please raise up your hands. Anyone? Good. (Self directing and acting)

Why toastmaster!? Hmph. When you are in Singapore you will know! Locals here can speak english like shooting bullets! The speed is even faster than lightning. They don't even need to think they can speak in English nonstop. Ya, this makes me feel a bit "small" “渺小 ” . My Engelish is not so good YET. Haha. So so so, I think of joining toastmaster, 1 to improve my communication skills, 2 to networking, 3 to challenge myself.

Jo Do Ma De, challenge? Any challenge o?

Jang Kam Man yo. I will explain why.

Open Google and type Toastmaster Singapore. 

Pop: ....

Uh huh, this club meets three times a month, other clubs mostly meet once a month. FYI, there are a lot of toastmaster clubs in Singapore. I think a frequent meetup will be more helpful. Once a month, the progress is too slow. 

The only thing it makes me so reluctant to join is, the meet up place is in Newton! Downtown area! It will take me at least ONE HOUR to go there from my company!!! Haha. But still, I go lo. Have a look.

Visitation to this club is not FOC (sad T T). It requires 20 sgd registration fee, which is for food, refreshment, drink and hall rental. The meetup location is Sheraton hotel. Atas nyeee .

Welcomed by the registration fee, go in, take some foods n start mingling around with strangers. Ok not first time for me, so it is still ok even though I still feel a bit shy n closed. Haha.

Then here comes the main event. Basically it splits to three parts:

Firstly is, prepared speech. Members will need to join a series of presentation projects. Different projects got different themes and objectives. They will book their presentation slots and present on that day. One presentation, few minutes only. 

Then they have a round table discussion. This session is kinna interesting. The organizer has prepared some topics for impromptu speech! Members will volunteer themselves and blindly pick a paper/topic. Then they have to start their speech after gotten the topic. Some titles could be funny like, If you were a spiderman, how to let your girlfriend know your secret OR if you were SG foreign minister, what will you say to Indonesia over the haze issue. Some speakers are hilarious! Admirable and awesome. How can they speak so well o. T.T

Last round will be the evaluation on the first session, prepared speech. Evaluators, mostly distinguish + experienced toastmaster will come out and share their evaluation on the candidates. The special thing is, their evaluation will be evaluated by the audience. Haha.

All three rounds have the best presenters, voted by the audience. Prizes will be given to them as well.

Ok I seem to write too much here ®®

How do I feel then? 

Err. I would say interesting! I think it could help me a lot on the "fear to raise up hands" for the impromptu speech, my weakest point. Honestly I can speak better when I am prepared, prepared presentation is not an issue for me. But speaking out of no way is indeed a big big challenge for me. 

Bullshitting in Mandarin is a piece of cake but not in English! I also need to learn to speak out and be proactive in expressing myself. So I would say Toastmaster can be a good self-improvement for me. Undeniable. The club is well organized, I like it. However, the annual fee is like 530 SGD o. Haha. Can it be free??? =p

I give myself one week time to consider. 

Do you think I should join? I wanna see hands! Hahaha. Ok. Feeling Positive!!! Fighting.

Life in SG : Business Trip to Japan (Throwback)

Phew~~~ 11 months have passed ~~~ I have been working in Singapore for 11 months already! 

Oh My God. Haha

And I have abandoned my blog for super duper long time. Recently my friend reminded me about this only I start to think I should write something. haha (This is what I wrote like 4 months ago, Now I really want to complete it! Let's do this!!!)

Look back and think what have I done in this 11 months?

Work, Sleep, Play and Repeat. Haha

Working as in a Separation Technology company, now only I truly know how important is a distillation column in a plant. Wakaka. Oops. 
Now life fills with Packing and Internals @@ Dizzzyyyy

But besides that I get to know more like Membrane, Liquid2 Extraction, Falling Film Evaporators and other separation technology lar. Not bad I am still in a Chemical Engineering related Company.

As an Applications and Sales Engineer, my job is mainly sales support. When get an enquiry, understand the process (Done by process engineer or by myself for internal hydraulics) and generate a quotation (Yeah I can write a proposal super fast now haha because I am a quotation generator! Joke lar~). 

Market is not really good, business is tough now~~~ :p

But Thanks God and Company, I got a chance to go Japan for a marketing and project discussion Trip! (Back in April) Wohoo~~~ Yeahhhh... 

But I am not going to write my Minutes of Meeting here, so it mainly seems like I go there to Play but I really got work ok? Days and Nights. 

Here is the Proof:

(Look, I am so serious! haha)

Lucky to have a weekend over there, so I can walk around and see how the beautiful Japan (after work).  

See See my first Sakura Experience! hahaha. Fortunately I can see some, unfortunately I miss the stunning blooming peak. This makes me super looking forward to see whole mountain and streets full of Sakura! This HaoLiao (Good Stuff) I leave it to next trip ba. hehe

I, this Half Tong also not filled de engineer, need a super technical guy to meet customer together. Any technical question ask him, I will just look at him nia. Haha. 

Great that we got the chance to travel together for a short while, here he is, Thomas, expert from Switzerland. (When I can go Switzerland a? Haha)

Fun and cute Papa-san from Japan. Japanese Colleague.

The post below is not from me, it is suggested by Papa-san. haha

Shinkansen - Bullet Train in Japan! The speed is R.E.A.L and the price is R.E.A.L as well. haha. 

If not claimable, I won't take it lor :P (Cheapskate-ing)

Some views in Tokyo - Shinjuku area if I am not mistaken. haha. Old memory in my lousy brain. Crowded with locals and tourists! I love Uniqlo there, cheap! haha. 

Of course, Tokyo Tower. Need to pay a visit this iconic place. I actually sit in the tower restaurant for like an hour (the square place in its middle). The city night view and when I am alone, make me think a lot of things, my future, my goal and etc. Those thoughts touched my sentimental inner heart. 

Looking the view in front of me and having a piece of cake with coffee. Nice place. 

The last thing to say is the Japan Food is Undeniable DELICIOUS! Almost all I love! The Sushi and fresh Shashimi, I still cannot forget them~~~ Can I have them right now? 

Thanks God for the Yummy Food in Japan. I heard that due to super intense competition, the food quality in Japan is super well maintained. If you are not good, close shop will be the destiny. @@

But thanks to this, good food is easily available in every corner of Japan. Yay!

Oh ya! Japanese is really a nice language! I don't understand at all but I love to listen to waitress says a long sentence of Japanese. Remarkable, their service is 200 marks and the language is so polite and heart-warming. Awesome! Arigato! 

Even though I don't know when will be my next business trip. But I looking forward to any in the future la.

11 months! I got lots of things to share. But leave them for next blog post ba. 

Time really flies! This is scary. I truly worry about my future, my dream and etc. 

Tick tick tock tock... aiyer, sounds scary also. 

But But But

God teaches us that
