It's End of May


Just return from a 3 day 2 nite
trip to JB!


JB can actually be v fun


KK turns 30 on May 28 so
we decided to do the
celebrate in JB


There were 10 of us. Every
meal is like a feast; though
at the end of the trip
everyone have bruises
all over all becuz of paintball


It's v rare to find pple
without bruises ... & the more
u examine ur body ... u
seem to find more bruises


Paintball in JB is 1/3 the price
as that in Singapore but u
got much more
bullets ... not a gud
thing though becuz

of those trigger happy
pple in the group! Ouch!


Day 1 Dinner was our birthday treat
for KK ... it was at a
famous CHinese restaurant
& the servings were HUGE!!
The 'Cold Plate' comes in a 4 plate format
& easily filled up 3/4 of the table ... den
there was the soup which took hours
to prepare & I reckon it was enough
to serve 22 persons ... Incredible ...
the PORK RIBS was awesome !!!
INCREDIBLE DINNER!!!


Day2 breakfast was like a megaFeast ... Eric's mum commented
tt we just booked out from army ... we had some pratas,
9 servings of chicken, 5 servings of mutton, 2 plates of maggi
goreng & other ... the long table we were sitting at was
so full of food ... Vivian commented tt that was the
first time she had pratas in which the meat was much more
than the prata ... total cost RM90 ... FREAKING
CHEAP & Delicious!!!


Day 2 itinerary was Go-Kart,
Shopping, Durians, Massage
& Supper. Supper was nt

v gud as anticipated as most
of the stalls at the market were
closed by the time we reached
there. The satays and the
chilli sotong were gud though!


Overall, I think the trip was great!
& it feel great to finally recover
from flu. I was right though,
my flu will only recover
when the weather improves

It's quite a torture to write the
thesis when you are
really sick ...


The result is gud though, I have
started writing the most
difficult portion of the
thesis - the Literature
Review


I'm about 40% thru the
thesis ... still way to go ...
but the 50% mark will
be a big morale boaster ...


I actually have v bad concentration
span ... but no choice just
have to force myself
to sit down n write!


I think I will be very ecstatic
when I'm done with the thesis.
No more studying!


As for what I will do later, I'm not
quite sure yet. I have some
idea but haven't thought
of how to turn it into reality


The below para is from Black Swan, one
of my favourite book, the
author is v intelligent & the book
is awesome. His writting
is like a piece of art, very elegant.
Simple at a glance but v sosphisticated
when u think about it.


"Quitting a high-paying position, if it
is your decision, will seen a better
payoff than the utility of the money involved.
This is the first step toward the stoic's
throwing a four-letter word at fate.
You have far more control over your
life if you decide on your criterion
by yourself"


"Mother Nature has given us some defense
mechanisms: as in Aesop's fable, one
of these is our ability to consider that the
grapes we cannot reach are sour. But an
aggressively stoic prior disdain and
rejection of the grapes is even more rewarding.
Be aggressive; be the one to resign if you
have the guts."


"It is more difficult to be a loser in a
game you set up yourself."
