The song i love the most

i like this song the best because of its lyrics.

FIX YOU - By: Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Something intersting

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it everyday. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

Happy Women’s day

In the recent parliamentary speech by Dr Vivian Balakrisnan (Minister for community development, Singapore), mentioned that most domestic problems are caused by irresponsible men. When I first heard it I didn’t agree, and after much thought I agree with him. He said before marriage he opened a joint bank account with his wife and his pay would go into that account and he allowed his wife to control his spending. He treated that as a leach. This brought about the responsibility that the money is also his wife’s. It might sound un-manly for some but I think it’s a good idea. I think I would follow it.

On this day I would also like to make a vow with my reader’s as witness that I am not going to follow one Hindu custom that the wife touches the husband’s feet to get blessing from her husband. Getting blessing form elders by touching their feet is fine but between husband and wife I want equality and I feel that my wife falling to my feet is unfair.

People who achieve their dreams

They have confidence in themselves.
They have a strong sense of purpose.
They never have excuses for not doing something.
They always try their hardest for perfection.
They never consider the idea of failing.
They work extremely hard towards their goal.
They know who they are, they know their weaknesses as well as their strong points.
They can accept and benefit from criticism.
They know when to defend what they are doing.
They are creative.
They are not afraid to be a little different in finding innovative solutions that will enable them to achieve their dreams!

Positive thinking and Wishful thinking

I am sure many of you would have read and heard motivation speeches. And it is the will power of a man can allow us to achieve even the impossible. The Adidas slogan goes “Impossible is nothing!”

That advice has been very useful in my life and I pretty much belief it until I heard about the fine line between positive thinking and wishful thinking. As much as we have to dream of achieving great dreams we should keep them realistic.

If the dream was within reach it is Positive thinking

If it was an unrealistic dream then it is wishful thinking.

Setting goals in life is very important. “If you fail to plan you plan to fail!” everyone needs an aim in life. Little goals have to be set to be achieved. Then you see the progress and the goal seems possible to be achieved. Wishing for success overnight is just plain wishful thinking.

Formula of sucess

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Sucess in life = x + y + z

x = Work
y = Play
z = keeping your mouth shut

i saw this quote somewhere and decided to share it.The secret of success is hardwork. All work and no play made jack a very dull boy as the saying goes a little play and fun will keep life more interesting and giving a right mix of happiness.

the last element is "Z". Many has screwed up because of their mouth. Being humble and down to earth allows room for improvement. if someone were to keep on bull shitting about themselves, no one will take the seriously and their hardwork will go to waste.

Don’t try too hard.

This was the advice given to me by my colleague when I was working as an assistant network engineer. The colleague was the senior engineer and I was a fresh graduate from my polytechnic.

My boss had just signed the contract for a new IT project. I field that project was quite impossible for us to complete in the given time due to the lack of manpower that we had. Everyone in the company knew that it was a problem, but the boss didn’t see it as one. My task was to take over one element myself. I put in extra hours and overnight to get the project done. I was a newbie in the field and I was surprised that my colleagues didn’t show even a fraction of the handwork I’d put in.

We managed to complete the project on time. The senior engineer gave me a pat on the back and told me that I did well and played a huge part in the success of the project but then he told me. Sometimes when you think the project is going to fail, you should let it fail, to give the boss the sign that it cannot be done. Since the boss knows that the team could do it, he going to stress test us again. My colleagues had deliberately slackened off to send the message to the boss that we need more engineers.

In school we have to push ourselves to our max to achieve our best but doing our best in the office does not necessarily bring us any good.

And well I got promoted to a network engineer. I quit my job to serve my National service as a specialist in the Singapore air force. This advice was useful during my term in the air force.
