"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Questions

In light of the recent happenings....exams, the occasional breaks, life, and death...come and go...like how someone wld walk into ur life, and then back out...

Like how someone wld walk into ur life, and then back out...Never to come back, ever again...My heart goes out to all those, whose lives have been enriched, in one way or another, by the dragon boaters, who has left this world....

Ezra, who lost 2 friends, mentioned that there were so many pple writing testimonials on (one of em) friendster's account...things like how they will be missed, and what not...

Question is...How is it that pple are never missed till they're gone? How is it that life can just be so fragile? Why the harsh reality of "come and go"?

Then i thought: if i were gone, will i be missed? Will anyone weep for me?

Questions, questions, questions, questions......

As if, the exams questions aren't tough enough already....Ah wellz, life goes on for those who still breathes...i was saying that i'm relatively neutral to losses...maybe it's cos, losses have become a big part of my life, that it hardly affects me now... wow~

3 papers down so far...201 tmr morning, 204 the next morning and e LAST paper, 202 on friday morning~~~! Gosh, i cant wait man....and cos i cant wait, i oso cant study...zzzzzzzzzzz....time to TRY to go back to e books...

And So...

And so here I am, somewhere within the realms of the SCE block...taking a short break from studying (not tt I have been studying for quite a while...juz barely started anyway)...

More specifically the SCR (Student Computer Room), where the computers are like a million yrs old, but still functional; Where the tables show signs of remnants of used eraser; Where students come to study, and some, to play; Where we had our daidee sessions; Where, for the rest of the month, my restless soul will reside...

Over the turmoil of the notes, tutorials, textbooks, past year papers and the ever so frequent use of the ancient computers to access the internet...Well, at least there's sth to take a break for (like wat i'm doing right now)...

Kim Hock's at a desk, 2 rows behind me...while I am on my own, in my own little world..err actually, it's juz me alone at this long desk...That aside, Hock has been suffering a bout of headaches recently...he's been studying too hard...It's not in my place to tell him to study smart, take a break and juz chill...cos tt's juz e way he is..then again...tt's how i am: a big time slacker (yeah...else why in e world wld i blog at this not-so unearthly time?)...In any case, i wish there was sth i can do for hock, but i'm so bogged down w my own stuff that i hardly haf e time to really care for pple...other than, of cos, the usual "hey man, how's things?", "morning bud, haf a good day..." or "Yozzz, all the best ya?"..but tt's all i can do as of now...i feel trapped within e solid, suffocating grasp of the exams...so much so, that at times, i juz give up fighting and let the time slip away, while my mind goes into a wild thinking mode...

Gosh, talk abt not enough time...so much things to do, so little time...but even more so when there's no determination, no drive to begin...keep thinking of.....things...grrr...why do i have to be so much of a thinker?which leads me to admire the strengths of Hock, who's pretty much a fighter...

Oh wellz, w all tt's said and done, at least I'm down w one paper...5 more to go.....time to boogey back to e ever sophisticated notes, tutorials, textbooks, past year papers and the ancient computer (if the need arises)...

A Blast from the Past

Someone i knew way back in army, juz msged me...he's actually my upline in Venture Era...he was juz telling me that one of our products will be published in the newspaper, some time this week...i was like "wow, finally it's recognised publicly!"

haha...yeah...for those of u who have YET to noe (tt'll prob be...like almost everybody who noes i have a blog), i actually work for Venture Era...it's a network marketting company...QUITE newly established (though it has hit a million-dollar mark in earnings already)...and has very good products and pple w good attitudes (of cos, there're some exceptions)...

Some of u will probably irk at e fact tt i'm working in such a company...like "eeeee! MLM!!" haha...in effect, MLM and network marketting are 2 different things..but i shall not go into details abt it...too many complications...but ya...tt's one of e reasons why i actually went inactive for sooooo long...

Responses i got were (almost) always negative...(and i haf to wear formal -__-)...things juz din go well for me...things NEVER go well for me...well..i have to admit...the stuff we sell, are really good...not that i'm trying to promote it...but they're really good...e bracelet u see on my desk...woot~ tt's an example...e water system (tt's gonna be published), another example...and so many more...i got one mat for my dad...it kinda helped him abit (though i'm sure he will NEVER admit it did anything at all)...yeah...all e good stuff...hahaha...YES! it's health products, wat do u expect?

In any case, things juz weren't gg my way...thus i became an inactive distributor...once in a while getting small small stuff for frens, aunties...and whoever....those tt really cld help em, in one way or another...even then, these pple din quite appreciate wat was being done for em oso...but hack, it's alrdy done, and it was done for a greater good....so, tt's a consolation for me...

Many times, i wanted to go back...(of cos, there were many times which i DID go back)...but always mindful of the so many failures i've had before, i always fall short of my goals...

In light of the upcoming publication, i wonder, by how much wld Venture Era grow....

Oh wellz....Bet u fellas din noe that huh? Don't believe me? I show u my distributor card...wahahahaha....crap~
