For people who finds it difficult to motivate themselves to work daily..

This is somehow the most common problem people will face, especially when they are with the job which they are not keen on..

I've experienced such things myself, and I too find it difficult to motivate myself to work sometimes..But..Somehow or rather, I think I've got a way to help these people manage such situation, or at least make their morning better..

Staying positive in thinking might make one feel better for a while, but such positive mindset might not last for long without some form of positive motivation..

Which means positive thinking + positive motivation will last you long in a field somehow..
But how are we going to achieve that?

Although both might sound alike, but then..let me explain..

For example..

Positive thinking is like..
"Today will be a better day!!"..
But as I explained earlier, such thinking might make you feel better for a while, but after certain period of time, such positive thinking will soon simmer as there were no causes supporting such thought..
In which, such case is known to most people as "Self Delusion"..

Whereas

Positive motivation is like..
"My best talk-cok buddy is on shift today!!" or..
"Im going out with my gf tomorrow evening after work!!"
It does not necessary need to involve any form of positive motivation from work site..
It can be anything, as it is the mood that counts..
And as long as it makes you happy and keep you looking forward to the day itself..The goal is achieved..

So, for me, I always tell myself..
"Hey, my talk-cok buddy is working today..(positive motivation).."
"And no matter how bad things are going to get at work today, it will be better with them around..(positive thinking).."

Try doing this starting from today..who knows, you might feel better..

Ashame of being Poor? Nope..I find it as a form of motivation..

Is being Poor a sin?
No..I personally do not think so myself..

But often there is a saying: if you're poor, you must be poor with pride..
And that used to be in the past, and based on certain circumstances..
Talking about this Pride, against Pride means doing something illegal or against the good nature will, or against your own will..

But..If given a scenerio that, if you're in deep trouble and need financial aids from others, and without this financial aids, the whole family will NOT be able to survive as there are no breadwinners in the family, and there are 3 OTHER family members in the family who are unable to work until 3-5yrs later..

will you guys choose to have pride? or choose to get help to survive?

For me, I personally will humbly receive help from others, and in return, I will return the favours to those who helped me in the future when my family life is better..

And yes, I do not deny the fact that I AM POOR..as it is the true fact, and therefore I WILL try to change the fate from being poor to slowly becoming richer..And not just depending on pride, and putting the blames on any of my fore-fathers that I was born to be poor..

In order to succeed, one has to put in effort..Based on pride alone, I don't think it can get us far..Yes, with pride at work, it is good..It shows the amount of confidence on your work..
But with pride being unwilling to receive help when others see that you're suffering or struggling, that is called "all the best to you"..

So..when there's people who tell me, hey, demin..You're a Poor piece of ****...
I will just laugh, and reply with a Yes..

"Yes, im poor, but I WILL be richer (future) in terms of personal assets, and I was already independent without any support from parents since young, and unlike most of you who live in 4-5 rooms HDB flats or bigger, I only live in 2 room HDB flat since I was 5 yrs old, and unlike most of you who has a complete family, I had been living without a Father since 5yrs old..But Im not sad about it, and neither that Im complaining about it.. In fact, my life is quite fulfilling, my friends are great, and Im seriously more happier than those people who are richer than me..LoL..And I still do not care that the fact that Im poor..who cares..As long as we lived life to the fullest.. Ask any friends around me, and they will tell you that, going out with me, you will feel that laughter and fun is all around..I lose in terms of being poor, but I won in terms of happiness"..


This is the PRIDE I have..(below statement)
I will receive help from those who really meant to help me, and will not reject those who wants to help willingly, and I will be very grateful, and of course, I will help them in return in near futures to come.."Survival or Pride?"

For those who gives sacarstic remarks, despises me and yet wants to help (which I do not think will happen since they despise you so much), then THIS KIND OF HELP, i will REJECT..
The reason mainly is that, since they do not meant to help, why pretend to help? why bother to act in front of others? does it get them to stand a chance for the upcoming voting of MP selection?


To my friends:
Above statements are dedicated to a few particular person, and this kind of prideVSmoney problem was not posed to me, so don't worry, it was not me who's affected..
Just stating the fact that, when one needs help, do not be afraid to ask for help. Humans are born to help one another, not to despise each other..

To guys who despises poor ppl like us:
NOTE - you can give comments about us, but keep them to yourselves, and if you do not wish to help, pls do not pretend that you want to help, and then followed by sessions of "talking behind the backs"..I believe in KARMA..LoL..

Full Time Job, Part Time Studies

For guys who are interested to noe about Part Time Engineering Studies + Full Time Job..

1) Uni Engineering PT studies are not like Poly Days..it may seems relax when they said 1 module for 2months at a time, but then the schedule is very tight, and its like a super crash course..whereas the 3rd week is the mid term test..followed by an exam the next month..
LoL..how does tat sound, stil as simple as it seems like?

2)Dun think about gaming, bcos gaming = Time + $$$ gone..Time is not even enough for revision, dun even mention about gaming..lol..But at least stil can steal a bit of time for movies etc though..But Strictly NO GAMING, becos its too addictive..

3)Work office hr is quite a good choice, but definitely not 12hrs shift..12hrs shift affects attendance rate, n if you skipped a lesson, it means TATS IT..the module is as good as gone case..LoL..$2000 gone down the drain..

4)Best way = Study Hard!! Have discipline to do revision..Be Eager to learn..Ask Lecturer/Prof if in doubt, thru email (Which I always did)..LoL..

There's always toughness, but it depends on how you deal with it..
DO NOT give up, becos there are a lot of ppl doing PT studies n FT work too..LOL..

Let me start first..hmm..

20th Century Boys..
It was said to be better than Death Note in reviews from official forums, but after watching it my cousin, we felt that its a waste of energy, time and Lui(money)..LOL..the story is about a bunch of kids who wrote a book of prophecy..then..whole show is always talking, talking and talkings..LoL..boring..2hours+++ somemore..seriously not worth..watch online better..LoL..
but one funny phrase which constantly amused me and my cousin is that the guy kept sayin
"kenji kun, asobi masyo"(means lets play together?)..LoL..
Rating: 3/10

The Coffin..
Hmm..surprisingly short and ends quite fast..But the scary factor is jus so-so..
Not tat scary throughout, onli for 1 scene, i got scare by Peiling instead..LoL..suddenly jerked over and hit me + loud sound effect of e movie..Hahah.. =.=
Rating: 5/10

5)Swimming schedules (for those who wan to swim n learn together)

For those who wish to swim together and try to enhance your swimming style..
Maybe we can gather together and go for a swim..

History:
I got my minimum LifeGuard certification when I was 15 yrs old..
Became a lifeguard at Jurong East SC at 16yrs old..
I used to teach LifeSaving for 3 years, and students/friends graduated from my teaching to become LifeGuards..
And for certain stupid reason, I gave up on the teachings..
But I still can be a LifeGuard as of now though..LoL..(dun play play hor)..

Even though I stopped teaching, my belief and passion still did not die.
I still believe that, its best for more people to know how to swim well, how to survive in water long and to prevent death in adverse water condition..Life is Precious..

So, anyone who's interested, pls leave your schedules as comments in here..
I cant say that Im Super professional or expert, but i'll try my best to help you guys..
Anywayz, my student is also now teaching LifeSaving..of cos, he's charging a fee for the certifications n stuff..

But as for me, its FOC..haha..jus wanted more people to be able to survive during water sports, etc..and of cos, dun expect any kind of recognised certificates from me though..LoL..

I'll try to arrange my schedule as soon as I see any interested parties(friends or friends' friend)..
Feel free to leave your time slot in here, or else my hp number..you should know it..LoL..

2)Best recommended country to visit!!

Ok, tsugi(next)..

I know a lot of you might have been travelling often..
So this thread is posted for you all to share with us about various countries, and whats nice there for us to make a trip there..

For me, I personally feels that, out of England(London,Birmingham), Finland, Italy, Switz, Austria, France, Germany, HongKong, China that I went..I still likes Germany a lot..LoL..

Based on 2months experience there at Winter season, I found that, besides the language barrier there(German), basically, its a great country..Local delicacies..Buildings and more old buildings..lol..its hard to explain though..I'll leave it to the next time for more details..

And not forgetting that if you wants to have a retreat from the urban area, Pulau Redang might be the best for you..The place is really nice, great sea view, but you must go there at the right season in order to see the crystal clear sea though..And prepare Sunblock also..haha..or else will definitely ends up being "Chao Tar"(Burnt)..lol..

Anymore personal experiences are most welcomed to be posted in here.

To start it off...

First post of the day..
First of all..welcome to my blog..LoL..any comments are welcomed..
