FAcT

" Eeeee... Not nice.. I look fat.. Take again..."

Once in a while when a person says that when taking pictures, it may be due to the angle of the shot.. the lighting.. the camera.. the surroundings etc..

But when a person starts saying it once too often...
Like me..
That's when I must start to acknowledge..
I Don't look fat in the pictures..

I AM fat..

Haha.. Ok.. Maybe not soooooo bad.. but alarm bells are ringing already..
Not just to look good.. But to feel good.. Healthy.. Healthy...
I've gained about 5kg since i graduated.. Argh...

What's your choice?

If you have trouble getting up in the morning.. This is for you...
Forwarded to me by my work kaki...
So next time you have trouble getting out of bed...
Rememeber..

"Every morning when you wake up..
You have two options...
You can either go back to sleep and dream...
Or you can wake up and chase your dream.."

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- Unless it's a nightmare you're waking up to Haha..

Counting Down...

25 more days to go....
Counting down...
More Sun.. Sand.. and the Sea...

Life's Reminder

We get reminded every now and again..
In the midst of our hustle and bustle..
Pursuing our dreams and superficial materialistic wants..

The reminder that life is unpredictable..
The reminder that there are many other things more important than the way we lose ourselves going through the motions of every single day...

As we grow older, with each passing..
Someone very loved.. Or someone we just know..
Very intertwined paths.. Or very briefly so..
It leaves a print on you.. Never going away with time..
Serving as a reminder the unpredictability of life...

Do heed life's occassional reminder..
The reminder that we will not be around forever..

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- In memory of Bernard Chua.. Rest in peace...

Economics 101: Scarce resources, Unlimited wants

That's the way I'm feeling right now for what is becomming an unlimited want!

Travelling!

Never got much chance to travel when I was younger. Perhaps I'm just trying to make up for lost time, now that I'm earning my keeps..
Luckily I'm in the right industry.. Free incentive trips along the way.. Haha..

Sometimes feel very ignorant (read: suaku) when people talk about their overseas trips.. Especially Europe (though for some reason Europe doesn't seem to appeal to me at all at this point in time)..
So I want to open up my eyes.. Travel and see the world!...

So many places I would like to go.. So limited resources..

Next up in August... Bali!!..

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- Solution: Increase resources or limit my wants.. Hmm...

Conversation of the week

Coffee break with a colleague to relieve some stress.


... Blah.. Blah.. Blah...


Colleague: Once I marry.. I will not think of divorce..

Me: Good.. That should be the way isn't it?
(Thinking to myself.. Very good.. Here's another person like me who has faith in the sanctity of marriage.. The promise of the eternal vow... Til death do us part..)

Colleague: Ya lor.. Because a divorce is very expensive...

*Faintz*

But then again.. It's strangely true.. ROM costs you almost next to nothing.. A divorce is probably going to cost you everything.. Financially and emotionally!...

-- Ginseng Tonic Maker -- It's not just about the money!
