Renee & My Works!



Went to East Coast Rd near Frankel Ave for ice-cream! Its a nice little ice-cream shop tucked away at one of the private buildings, their ice cream is great cos you get to choose the ice-cream and a additional topping which ranges from kinder bueno to rice crisps to m&m and many more and the fun part is, they "fry" your ice-cream with the toppings, nice. Then, as we sat outside, we decided to take some pictures with Ghim Khoon's camera (thanks bro!) and we manage to get some nice shots of each other! Nice~

Choices...

In this ever-changing, realistic, depressing and
somewhat negative world, we often forget the good
things in life.

No, I'm not talking about your iphones, ipods,
PlayStations or your fancy WRXs or other cars. I'm talking
about the simple things in life and essentially,
I'm talking about ourselves, the human soul.

I always believe that humans were born good, but the
only problem is, we are and always have to make choices,
and that is when the line between good and evil,
right and wrong gets blurred.

I am not one to judge what is right or wrong, good
or evil so before you start ranting about how biased
i am or how do i know that I'm right, let me set
things straight first, i don't. I'm just giving
my perspective on things, that's all.

Love seems to be the greatest conqueror of all
then, its publicised and preached by almost every
religion and culture, the only difference maybe, is
what and who to love.

However, because of love, many people end up
making the wrong choices in life, they give up
on themselves because they lost someone, they kill
because of their jealousy, they love another while being
with someone.

There are also right choices that people in love make,
they become happier, they bring joy to others and they
make their own lives enriching.

Even when it comes to my favourite subject, customer
service, love is involved. It depends whether the company
loves its customers and often, those who do, will have
better customer service.

I have had opportunities to see some of the worst and some
of the best customer service in my short 24 year life and
I'm deeply saddened by how companies or people just simply
cannot comprehend the importance of customer service. It
doesn't win you new customers per se, but importantly, it
helps retain the existing ones and when they spread the word
of your good stuff, you can be sure your new customers would
come.

I've had run ins with 2 mobile companies, namely (N) and
(M), i won't say their names but I'm sure you are smart
enough. ;) i followed (N) company for many many years,
since i was in secondary school till i was in polytechnic
but once, they pissed me off, they made me wait 3 whole
months to get my LCD screen fixed. The problem is, when
i first send it for repair, they say they will call me
back in 3 weeks, then 2 weeks and so on, it was not until
i brought it up all the way to the head of (N) company,
did i get it fixed, and luckily for me, they did it promptly,
but its been 3 months, madness!

Thus, i switched from (N) company to (M) company and my oh
my, everything was ok, till the phone got spoilt. The
problem is somewhat similar as before but this time, they
fixed it on time, but it justs keeps getting spoiled
again and again. I made a fuss at the repair centre and
then i realise i wasn't alone, neither was i childish,
another lady made a fantastic remark. i quote "you guys (M company)
always SAY but DON"T DELIVER". Best sentence I've heard
for awhile, period.

Companies and people must always understand a certain truth,
if you say something, you have to deliver, if not, you
should "die" trying to. People can get angry at times but
honestly, i feel that if people can see the effort you are
putting in, they might just cut you some slack. This is
relevant to all things in life, not just customer service.

I'm going to repair another tech item for Renee soon and
so far, i am a little pissed with the customer service I'm
getting but it isn't over yet so lets see how they finish it
off, they are known for good customer service or so I've heard.
Lets wait and see... :)

I'm going to give my all in everything i do now, sports,
work, family and of course my love, Renee. No one knows
whether you will get anything back but like the good old
movie Love Actually proposed...

LOVE isn't about what you GET...
But rather, it is about what you GIVE...

For that matter, it isn't just love, its everything, give
more instead of asking or taking more, you may find yourself
happier or more contented that way.

If the whole world can do that, maybe our world can become
happy, warm and definitely de-stressed... Maybe if people start looking
at the things they can give instead of the things they want to get, people
will be happier, but of course, one would be a saint to be able to just keep giving,
he/she needs something back too sometimes.

Do a good deed today, GIVE.... I'll start following closely now... :)

A Brand New Me...

My blog has changed layouts a couple of times now but needless to say, this has got to be the most satisfying of them all, i absolutely love this new layout and kudos and many thanks to my wonderful girlfriend, Renee for her beautiful vision and work! Thank you!

With a new theme comes a new beginning, i have been posting too much love posts in the past that i almost forgotten how to write. From now, its a brand new mind and thinking, i would write whatever i want to write, post whatever pictures i want to post.

I'm actually excited to start writing again, though i have a couple of topics i wanna talk about, i have no idea which one i would start first... But nonetheless, i really love this new piece of me...

Cheers People
Be Well....

Something About Us...

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I've got to say
Cos there's something between us anyway

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

I want you more than anything in my life
I need you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there behind you, just to remind you

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind

Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her, and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time

She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her

We're two hearts..

The White Rabbit

Its my 24th birthday and i simply have to talk about the wonderful dinner i had at The White Rabbit. The food is simply excellent, bloody brilliant i tell you, the course i chose for the night and i implore everyone to go try it, the menu i chose went like this...

Appetisers (Though the amount is no where near, it felt more like a main course!)
1. Shallot Tart Tartin
2. Foie Gras

Soups
1. Mushroom
2. Chicken Consomme (It has tortellini with foie gras in it, brilliant!)

Main Course
1. US tenderloin (chose medium raw, the outside is crispy and fragrant while the inside is juicy and tender, full marks!)
2. Chicken a la King (the sauce for the chicken is really nice, creamy white and a small portion of rice, nice!)

Dessert
1. White Rabbit Black Forest Cake (not the way you remember it... no joke, try it...)

I had a great great birthday dinner, perfect ambience, food, company and service, just amazing! Oh, a word of caution though, they will ask you whether you want sparkling or mineral(still) water at the start, you can choose neither and choose plain ice water, then you dun have to pay $10 for your water. :) Overall though, you have to try this place once in your life, 9.5/10... Cause nothing's perfect... :)

Can i...

Can i love you again...
Can i be forgiven..
Can i show you what i can do...
Can i have a future with you...
Can i be with you...
Can i just show you that this time i'm true...

Oct 12, 2008

Maybe...

Maybe i'm a jerk...
Maybe i deserve it...
Maybe i can't be forgiven...
Maybe i can't make someone happy...
Maybe i'll never be successful...
Maybe i should die...
Maybe, just maybe... She can never love me or trust me again...
