Life in Singapore 2

There are many things I have yet to learn. Hope that I can cope with the task given. If there is a chance, I would like to work in Singapore for a longer term. I should have come here earlier, if I could awake earlier. Living in Singapore is quite boring but for the sake of living, sacrifices is inevitable. The moment I reached here, I'd received a few business chances that I am working out now.

At the same time, I entered Kuantan Chess Rapid Open 2010, and won 8th placing. I learnt some of the chess principles myself. I lost 2 games which I shouldn't lost due to blunder, but I won 5 games. The last games was really taxing, trying to gain advantage from the start. My opponent miscalculated and blunder a position that he thought he could win. I saw that earlier, but it just won't work, as I will lose a Queen for 2 rooks, but I will have 2 rooks and 1 bishop with 2 pass pawn.

Now, I have to rush my task given. it's kind of new to me for leaving this programming world for quite a long time. C#. Though I continue with Java, they are still similar except the new technologies used. Learning just never ends. The company gives me chances, and I must take it.

At the same time, I met with my relatives in Johor and cousin sister in Singapore. Things changed quite a lot. It has been 10 years, I haven't met them for a long time. Glad that they are living in a healthy state. I told my cousin, that I will keep fit for 3 months, to drop 10kg. Some promises made for that too.

Life In Singapore 1

I am in Singapore for 4 months. I didn't realize that time can catch up so fast. During the past 4 months, I learnt a lot of things. Colleagues are great. Places I stay is considered great. I must make full use of the facilities given. The only problem is time to travel to work is a little bit fr. Hope I can continue learning with the chance given to me by the company. Learning always never end. I would like to go for a vacation If I saved enough money. Well, I saved enough but I intend to pay full amount for my PTPTN next year. Just entered a bit to my investment. Though not much, but hope it can generate some passive incomes for me.

It was a boring time for me during weekends. I ended up sitting at home, surfing net and watching TVBs. It did save me a lot too without going anywhere. In September onwards,, I will hire a GM to teach me professional chess.

1 mth in SG

Well, the life in SG is hectic and busy. I have to learn the things the hard way from 0. Hopefully I won't burden my colleagues who already understand the whole flows. I really need to catch up with them to understand the whole program flows.

My eyes' power increase all of a sudden. It cost me RM750 to buy a new spectacles. It's 12am now. I couldn't sleep. I think that I must make the project work to have my 1st passive income. May God bless me.

Malaysian Politics

I saw this headline from a Blog

Datuk Hee? So ‘Hee-larious’!

Then i heard someone talk about character assassination from someone on the news.....He's no difference too...Is that our Malaysian morality nowadays? By poking fun of other people's name?

When other people start to hop around into his party, he welcomes them, but when they leaves his party, he condemned them. That's how a human being can be from what I see. I can only see 3 or 4 fellows opposition always on the newspaper, whilst the rest seems disappear as if the party belongs to themselves. I despised such a leader instead of party hoppers, just like follow the winds when the wind blows around.

The FINE RM1k is actually a good thing to punish those people who speeds too fast on the highway. I am sure that those poor people will know that not to speed too. Though times are bad, but it's to cultivate morality on the road....

Leaving to Work in Singapore 8mths ++

I must thank many people for giving me the support and trust. So many things happened during the past that I want to leave the country for a moment to seek my true self. My company gave me chances to go outside to learn more things and thus I shall take this opportunity to wipe all the past memories and re-seek myself, transform into a more developed person. I am grateful that CHESS accompanies me when I am up or down. Through that, I am able to stand up for every downs I faced in the past.

I want to seek more knowledge and gain more confidence in life. I want to see the outside world and share experiences. I used to put LOVE as the 1st priority, but ever since then, it was gone in the air or reside in the 3rd placing after FAMILY and CAREER. My vows stop after something was achieved and the time to proceed to next level begins long ago.

I may look tough previously, but which wasn't, but with the supports around, I am able to go through it. Thank you everyone, and if you feel that you are the One this thanks go to, that's you.

It was the day I sang in the Karaoke yesterday, I realized that I no longer sing the Sad and broken hearted songs. I had evolved into a different person.

Life evolves to other stages, the moment the vows meet the requirements. It's the moment to proceed to New Life... Never Give Up...

FIDE March 2010 Released!!!

I saw the FIDE Rating list today at http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=5706653 . I shall retire from FIDE Rated tournaments. It's really taxing to be sitting there 4 hours just to complete a game. As long as the rating is above 1800, that's fine for me. With this, I had achieved one of my goal.

I read a statement from somewhere that says "Poor people has dreams, rich people has goals." That's what makes the difference in investments. No pain no gain. I would play solid and safety ways just like my preferences in chess, Queen's Gambit, Semi-Slav and Sicillian.

2010 Resolutions is not a dream but goals!!!

Goal 1: Accumulate resources to invest.

Goal 2: Achieve career growth.

With this I officially RETIRED FROM FIDE RATED TOURNAMENTS!!!! Goodbye FIDE....If there is anyone looking for me to teach their children to play chess, I am willing to...but charge minimal fees of course... :)

2010

It has been awhile since I have stop writing. Finally, I had achieved my FIDE rating and got a new job. Life has been so good so far. I constantly read about relationship stuff at Lowyat.net's Cupid Corner. Well, I still remember that someone there told me this: "Don't stand near the tree too much, step backward and you shall see the whole tree, whether is it worth to sacrifice, if the answer is no, then thou shall look around and know that you are bless with someone worth in the forest...." Love is not a one sided relationship as it takes 2 to tango. I came across a topic in the forum. It's amazing how this gal can hang on to such guy. Let's call it, A is the gal, B is the guy.

A and B are colleagues in an office, and they started the relationship there too. A is just a simple girl wanting some security and love, while B seems to be on the offensive and controlling everything. B dislikes A talking to guys, even to colleagues or worse still MSN. They quarrel quite often coz of some even petty things. A is so weak that she got scolded too even during vacation to somewhere. Many forumers would ask this gal to break up with the guy. A wanted too but will always patch back with B.

In this scenario, constant quarrel is a bad sign to relationship. The B's ego and ungentle man side towards his own gf should be publicly condemn. Even the gal too, is living in the state of denial where she hope there is still a hope in the relationship or probably scared that age is catching up to her. If only someone would tell her the above statement, life would be easier. It takes 2 to tango.

Maybe gonna read more and see other stories as well.
