You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/"&gt;What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-3058314791862245937?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/3058314791862245937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=3058314791862245937&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/3058314791862245937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/3058314791862245937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2008/06/dears-name.html' title='Dear&apos;s Name'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-2915554767841302950</id><published>2008-06-03T23:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-03T23:52:47.234+08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Name</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;table width=350 align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#EEEEEE" align=center&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style='color:black; font-size: 14pt;'&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Chong Simon Means&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="mhtml:http://172.31.254.253/multipart/profiles.friendster.com_0_6e0aedc13f7ea7d2ecdf8c93d3ff659a.mht!http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/name.gif" height="100" width="100"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;You are very open.

And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/"&gt;What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-2915554767841302950?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/2915554767841302950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=2915554767841302950&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/2915554767841302950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/2915554767841302950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-name.html' title='My Name'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-4573840472529242842</id><published>2008-05-20T18:43:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-20T18:45:39.499+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Especially For You ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;Bao Bei,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Life has been beautiful ever since U enter my life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The sweet moments we had together and the bad moments as well are unforgetable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;To me, U are always sweet and beautiful, my perfect girlfriend. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;U are always there for me whenever i am down. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;U never fail to make me smile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;I love U, and I hope I'll always be by ur side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;From,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Da Ben Xiong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-4573840472529242842?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/4573840472529242842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=4573840472529242842&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/4573840472529242842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/4573840472529242842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2008/05/especially-for-you.html' title='Especially For You ...'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-1934484019453678946</id><published>2008-05-14T02:46:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-14T03:01:12.280+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lunch with bel</title><content type='html'>Yesterday, ZT was back and we had lunch with Isabel, along with yl and xl.. She seems so much happier and it really reminds me of the times where we all go out for buffet after our salary. Those are the times where there was no stress but CBT and AT, Callover. Come to think of it, this blog was also started by her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Chionging and neglecting so much of my life, friends and church, it really struck me does it really worth it to Aim for something and not acheive it? After running a race then you realised you went to the wrong finishing line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is not as tough as BMT but does it worth the amount of time we place in. 12 hrs * 20 days =240hrs (without clearing CN on weekends) That amount of returns/hr is slightly higher than my part time job years back in Poly days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things went really bad last week with alot of email CCing and BCCing at client's place. 1 week audit last year = 3 weeks + audit for this year. What went wrong? Leadership, planning, or communication? Is there a clear &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;guide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of when and how we are to do our work, or should we just follow instruction when it don't seems to make sense. Anywae, again, I am a fry too small to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who don't know how to claim MRT fare, let me tell you.. Just go to SMRT website and print the fare chart and attach in. How do I know? Cos I've claimed it. Why I claim, cos its.... a managemet decision...... Good thing my house no night rider, just in case management want me to take night rider home around midnight after work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bad job with arrow shooting around and no benefits = SUPER LOW MORALE &amp;amp; MOOD + ANGRY.... = No quality work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who cares? 1 month leave start in 3 days time...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-1934484019453678946?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/1934484019453678946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=1934484019453678946&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/1934484019453678946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/1934484019453678946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2008/05/lunch-with-bel.html' title='Lunch with bel'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-8433525537150865957</id><published>2008-05-14T02:20:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-14T02:43:10.976+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Human Resource Management - Motivating Factors</title><content type='html'>I just can't sleep today... Since Exam is round the corner let me blog what I've learnt yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my lecturer was going through one of the business model the fist thing that came to my mind was, a house that provide costly water. Why? read on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few school of thoughs and key approaches to motivating employee, but when my lecturer went through the "Herzberg" approaches, it really "speak of someone I know'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herzberg theory was that there are some "motivators factors that will motivate employees" and some "poor hygience factors that will cause disatisfaction But Good Hyginence factors will not motivate" [So Hygience will only case problem la...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are motivators? Recognition, interesting work, possiblity of growth are all motivators.&lt;br /&gt;Whereas Hygience factors are lack of pay, poor working conditions, supervision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how dose it apply to the particular floor of the house that provide costly water?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motivators.&lt;br /&gt;Recognition - do not exist on that floor, as they are &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Interesting work - maybe but the higher floor seems more interesting&lt;br /&gt;Possiblility of growth  - Saw some1 with O level getting 3k/mth &amp;amp; another getting 30k bonus, growth seems slower there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hygiene factors.&lt;br /&gt;Lack of Pay - YES YES!!! A small lack compare to the green &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;o&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;a big compare to elsewhere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Working conditions - No... very good working conditions, but that does not motivate.&lt;br /&gt;Supervision - Thats not for me to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So according to Herzberg theory, there are no motivators on that floor, but hygience factors kick in to de-motivate.. Haiz..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not know exactly what it is, cos I have very Lousy english to articulate what i want to express. Hmm... Indeed study makes one sleepy..

Somehow through all these years of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;RPGing&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;i've&lt;/span&gt; realised that all hero fall in love and they fight for their friendship and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They went through the trouble of "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;lv&lt;/span&gt; up" but to realised that monster &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;lv&lt;/span&gt; up together with them. So if you think you &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;lv&lt;/span&gt; to 99 will have an easy fight? nope cos the boss will be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;lv&lt;/span&gt; 99 too. So in life, we went through all the trouble to study and train but to realised that there would be more barrier to cross. But the problem is who do you have with you in your "party" to push through?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear said that I should not play too much game as I neglected her... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Hmm&lt;/span&gt;.. Sorry.&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, she is really nice to me. There has been so many times that she accompanied me even though she was very tired, there was times when i am too &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;stubborn&lt;/span&gt; but she still gave in to me... But I did not even go shopping with her and do the things that she like with her..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ask me how much she love me I would tell u how she gave in to me.

Have my goals been achieved? Have I been using my time effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may have fall short in some areas and change is necessary for progress and growth on those area. Life is a whole cycle of change. Someone once say this to me "If you want to achieve something you have never achieved before, you have to do something you have not done before" It somehow make sense....There must be changes in life for our relationship to progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;------- Can Skip, for my own motication ---------&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pepsico changed their strategy of attacking Coke in china by not in the cola drinks but changed and going into snacks and potato farming to increase their chips quality. Now the number of their "PEPSI" trademark in china is beat coke by 4 to one. Transformation is no longer an option. It is necessary.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;------------- &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, news sure spread fast.

No choice. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAHA!!! oh not to forget my stocktake that Took forever to complete. Photos to be posted in future.

Does it works? Nope... But it do make a point as in, if we get it, its a award, if we don't, life still goes on and we should not be overly eager to get it. The best actor waited for 20yrs. Woah! Everybody say "Woah"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It do make me think that what we hold on tightly we will eventually lose, but what we let go, we may gain even more... Its like fishing, We got to let go of the bait, in order to get the fish. If we hold the line too tightly, we will not catch the big fish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same applies to Kite flying (althought I hate people who fly kite).. So maybe this christmas, no plan is better than have plan... Like "独孤九剑", "无招胜有招". Because those who fails to plan, plans to fails. And since you plan to fails, anything extra is a gift. &lt;The above case applies in situation where hope are slims&gt; I should not take all things too seriously and not to be too stubbon in what i want to get... What will be will be, i will get what i'll get... Life is a balance and now is the season for giving and not receiving... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas the season for giving. &lt;strong&gt;:)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-5994752869128327287?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/5994752869128327287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=5994752869128327287&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/5994752869128327287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/5994752869128327287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-you-hold-on-to-youll-lose.html' title='What you hold on to, you&apos;ll lose.'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-383633982791160376</id><published>2007-12-05T05:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-05T05:48:08.977+08:00</updated><title type='text'>10 more Hours to my paper</title><content type='html'>I got 10 more Hrs to my paper... Woah i Should be stress but i got a mixed feelings... I hope i can do well... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way to find happiness is to be greatful for all that you have. I have been wanting for more. YES! I'm not happy with where I am right now because I know I can do much more, I can contribute, WE can move on to another level. This is not my personal excellence, my personal best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But but but all these takes time and trust. So Right now i should be contented and not hoping to rush things.... I guess Life is like an examination, when you know you can do more, you feel like haiz... "Why is it like that?". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the difference is Even with "Time" and "Effort" put in, you can't gurantee good results. There is no exact Formular that works... Its all depends on feelings. I need to move my "Ranking"... but i do not know how...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please do not shut your door, but open up our hearts... We plan for the future, but live our life as though there is no tomorrow so that there will not be regret. I guess i do not have to worry too much, as what will come will come, if i do not cross this crisis, then what about the harder ones next time... Trials and tribulation is guranteed to come... And I have to prepare for my battle gear and ready to engage them... I will not be navie, stupid and be a fool to believe things that a reasonable man would not believe... So I am jus trying to be a "Reasonable man"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is like a war, we got to fight for own happiness, fight for our career, and strive hard to get the support of yr loves ones. Woth Competition then there will be improvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok... Back to my books...

Wanted to sent her straight home after that so she can have more time to rest and study but... she say she no mood to study straight after a depressing exams so... we went to changi airport instead....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm... I was shocked that i will go cos, my own exams are starting in 2 days time... Woah.... For those who know me well, i always study very last min... so this is a crucial time... No worries dear, i will work hard after i updated my blog...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me go back to the topic of my blog, flies are everywhere i have to get used to it... I am not aiming at anyone just stating my view... If you don't like feel free to come and look for me!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm... How to start.... Ok... On the way back to her house, we saw a roach on the bus and i killed it.. It makes me thinking, why are there so many irritating "insect" around (to me it is irritating, to some it isn't, it is their "XIAO QIANG").. Sometimes when we think that we have done a lot of "housekeeping" &amp;amp; spend a lot of effort and time to keep away all these "Pest" but they are still around and Keep bugging and bugging and bugging around your life... They like to fly in and out, when you want to kill it they fly away, when you are not in high alert, here they come to attack.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So irritating!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why can't they just go get a life... Go away from my room, my house, my sight? But it is all my wishful thinking... Flies are always around, and here i am reminding myself to get used to it.... There is nothing i can do except to keep my house clean and hopeful they will not make my house their home as well... If i see it, I WILL KILL IT!!! if it is within my means and range... I just hate it... Sorry for being so violent against flies and roaches but i Simply hate it... Who like roaches, please tell me maybe i can catch them and put it on your bed so that they can share your bed with you!!! I don;t like to share my personal stuff... Maybe since young, i have my own room so i don't like to share stuff (depend on what la....) with other people... But if the insect comes, here i am prepared to keep them out of my house... If they think they can make me moved house or make my house their home think again!!! If they are so capable they could have done it long ago....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So try me... :) I love challenges!!! hey hey.... why i am so angry with roaches??? so funny, it keeps me thinking as they are always around... I jus have to know, its my room and unless it is taken away, it will still be mine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Housekeeping, housekeeping.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-6645260203678611672?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/6645260203678611672/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=6645260203678611672&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/6645260203678611672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/6645260203678611672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/12/flies-are-everywhere-get-used-to-it.html' title='Flies are everywhere, get used to it...'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-1596538170964244272</id><published>2007-11-29T04:40:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-04T11:16:50.639+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Birthday is over... 22 yrs old lor...

Woah, so much to study and yet so little time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meet Kath after her class for dinner/supper and a last min decision to watch movie...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched 'Enchanted"... Its really a good movie, funny and meaningful...&lt;br /&gt;fairy Tale Story, Happily Ever After... Is this really applicable to our society now?&lt;br /&gt;Will (me) Simon and Katherine be happily together forever? Going into PWC and meet Kath is such a wonderful thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divorce rate are so high now and why do they break their commitment? To me love is not just a feelings as feelings do changed. It is more of an intimacy, the emotional aspect and Commitment is the decision-making part. "CHOICE" of love... The willingness to work things out... Can rainbow be wif me forever?? Hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh ya.... somehow, we always watch movie at the same place... Must change place liao, if not will be sian.... How i wish, i got a car that day... Why???? Hmmm..&lt;br /&gt;We walked from round and round just to find the Night Rider bus stop... The last time i took night rider was more than 1 yr ago.... But she jus took it less than 1 month ago... &lt;br /&gt;LOL.... After waking around in circles, its about 3am and we decided to take a cab back.. haha... So funny...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slept for less than 4 hrs and went to Sami's lecture from 930-530... Went to church and followed by "HERO"...

If i keep procratinate and don't start, i may not even complete my studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE PLEASE step out of yr box and take a look at this world of opportunies...

Translation: it's the study of how we interact and make decisions about time, money and things we value... So my desire is to be with some1 aka rainbow aka (you know who u are) but my resources are scare(limited) so i need to plan to optimise my time.... As for the supply and demand... I am supplying too much "goods" so the price(value) of my goods may seems to drop and not make so much impact... But i believe that through branding, those who want my goods will still come back to me..( i hope)... but i will plan and make my decision based on this assumption... althought i know of the risk...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've made the decision...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-399426466220322912?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/399426466220322912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=399426466220322912&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/399426466220322912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/399426466220322912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/11/be-positive-stay-happy.html' title='Be Positive....

I have tried for so many times to turn myself into a morning person, and the only morning that I actually am "with it" is when it is pitch black and the rest of the people is asleep. That's when I seem to get ideas. I seem to be inspired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read &amp;amp; think a lot at night, maybe it is due to there is no distraction ard. Maybe I should just get used to this, and then not feel so guilty when I want to sleep in in tomorrow morning... Exam are coming so we shall study hard... Yeah... Nah... maybe... sleep is a blessing from the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things seems to be a blurry stage but i believe that as we move on day by day in our mandate activites, things are moving forward. Lets not purposely try to make things happen or have additional pressure. Jus be comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear is a subconscious emotional response to danger. Most fear is usually connected to pain or bad exprience. For example, if a child falls into a well and struggles to get out, he or she may develop a fear of wells, enclosed spaces or water. People who have bad relationship may have fear for a new one. Fear is remedied by FAITH. Trust your heart, and have the faith once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guilt is an affective state in which one experiences conflict at having done something one believes one should not have done. It gives rise to a feeling that does not go away easily, driven by conscious. Thing have already happen, no point dwelling over it. Guilt can be remedied by punishment… (and I would gladly be the punisher), by forgiveness (God has forgiven all sins) or by the understanding that the source of the guilty feelings was illogical or irrelevant. We cannot please everyone in this world… SO why dwell in it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She is always on my mind, from the time i wake, till the time i close my my eyes, she is everywhere i go, even in my dreams....Maybe my love will come back someday, Only heaven know... " - heard it frm somewhere and modified it. This can really really, reflect the feelings i have... But I am a happy Man now...

And after so many books that I’ve read here are some tips which could be applied to yr life as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Always Do Research&lt;br /&gt;You must always research, read the news paper, past trends before u jump into any investment or a market. Know the market share, who are the current competitors and future competitors as it would help you to decide how much money to put in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Have faith in the Investment&lt;br /&gt;Once you have put in your money, u mustn’t jus cash out if it turn bad. You must hold on to it for a little longer.. If yours is a good market/share, it will bounce back in a few days. Jus hold on to it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Keep on Investing&lt;br /&gt;If the share have been giving reasonable return, it world be good to keep on investing as long as u have the cash flow as over time the dividend will be quite good. Better than bank interest rates…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Withdrawal to Cut Losses&lt;br /&gt;If the Market too small with too many competitors (bubble tea), it might be advisable to withdraw from the market to cut losses. Only those cashflow rich can maintain in those long term price wars. U might as well invest on other market which can give u the returns you desire.&lt;br /&gt;If the share price keep on giving undesirable returns, sell it and not to lose all your money with it. Other shares which give good return are out there..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm… this looks like product life cycle. or economics… So don’t just enter/exit from a market, reasonable risk are involves. It all depends on your risk appetite….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What action should i do?? Is the market too small? Is a price WAR going to happen? I don't think i can go to war and study at the same time... Too much stuff to care about................................................................................................................&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-2725217236588633510?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/2725217236588633510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=2725217236588633510&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/2725217236588633510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/2725217236588633510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/10/investing-theory-from-noob.html' title='Investing Theory from a Noob'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-5805709198682429554</id><published>2007-10-17T15:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-17T15:16:18.589+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Puzzlement</title><content type='html'>Been in a state of confusion lately.

Reality is a Limiter in Life!</title><content type='html'>There would be time that we would hope that we could have more time for classes and to be with the one u would want to be with. But In reality, we have only 24Hrs a day. How could we do so many things? And we would tends to Limit ourselves to our circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Circumstances" comes from the word "Circle" &amp;amp; "Standing" =&gt; Where we would be standing in the cycle of events. We would always believe what we can see &amp;amp; touch, and based our standards on our circumstances. This could inevitably set a Limit on what we can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 thing i've leant is that Our Reality is affected by economics and is not fixed. What may be true now may not be true tomorrow. Light blub, Flying, and making telephone calls seems to be unrealistic at 1 point of time, but now it is jus so common to us. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;So don't limit yrself to what u can do based on the current standing, We would remain where we are unless our mind changes. The strongest prison is in our heart &amp;amp; mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would think that time is a scarcity and limit our ability to cope with life.&lt;br /&gt;There was 1 point in time that human relies heavily on coal Large-scale coal mining developed during the &lt;a title="Industrial Revolution" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution"&gt;Industrial Revolution&lt;/a&gt;, and coal provided the main source of &lt;a title="Primary energy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_energy"&gt;primary energy&lt;/a&gt; for industry and transportation in the West from the &lt;a title="18th century" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century"&gt;18th century&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a title="1950s" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s"&gt;1950s&lt;/a&gt;, and it was estimated that coal supply would run out by 1900. (not i say, better cite before an IP lawsuite.. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it happen jus in time that the first oil well was found in northwestern Pennsylvania on 27 Aug 1859. In 2004, the survey of energy resources stated that there is no shortage of Oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food is also not a scarcity. Since WW2, the world population increased 2X but food has increased 3X. The problem with all the starvation in poor countries is due to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Mismanagement&lt;/span&gt; not scarcity. &lt;/strong&gt;India has 1 point produced too much grain that they have to throw them away into the river to prevent the prices from falling too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please do not think that Time is a scarcity, there are so many proven theory that alternative resources is there to help us. What is lacking is Faith that things will work out well, Hope, Creativity &amp;amp; Willingness to make things work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Lack of time will not produce failure only MISMANAGED time can.&lt;/span&gt; A phone call or sms may not be as good as meeting up but its still better than nothing. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;In reality, 2 busy ppl would not have time for each other, but with Faith, Hope &amp;amp; proper time management, time is not a scarcity &amp;amp; don't limit yourselves without trying. Everything is determined by the way we Think &amp;amp; Visualised.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quote fr Rainbow "Cherish life &amp;amp; every moment", to me, i would indeed cherish "the 1" in my life and every moment I have with them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-8235729285321326?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/8235729285321326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=8235729285321326&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/8235729285321326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/8235729285321326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/10/is-time-scarcity-reality-is-limiter-in.html' title='Is Time a Scarcity?

And I have come to a conclusion that I have given up on waiting…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting is the stupidest thing to do Cos waiting Is a waste of time. Yesterday, I was thinking why there is no such thing as waiting strategy? Why management guru don’t come out with one? It is because waiting does not need a Guru to teach you, but waiting it a act of stupidity &amp;amp; lack of common sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since young we were taught of “Shou(3) Zhu(1) Dai(4) Tu(4)” and wats the outcome? Nothing. If we really want some thing we should seek it and not wait for things to happen. Its like waiting for money to drop from heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In Business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever seen a company that has wait for the profit to come in? No. A new product would need to have advertising campaign, old product need to have improvement &amp;amp; development. Waiting is equal to waiting to die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think there is a Newton 3rd law that say “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. So waiting will get you to no where, because there is always be another opposite forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;View Point of a Farmer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were taught that a farmer will sow his seed and wait for harvest. But have any1 thought of what he do in between? An action is always required everyday of his life, to water his plant, to take care of his plant until it is natured and ready for harvest… He can sit there and wait for 11 years and I can surely say that no harvest is for him. He can be sad, we can be sad for him, but since when life is fair…&lt;br /&gt;The law of sowing and reaping we must keep on sowing until the day of reaping and not sow and wait…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Religion – Christianity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 7:7-8 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So does that mean that for those who ask there would require no action? I can jus ask God and wait?? No!!! Faith is an Action. We don’t talk the talk, we Walk the walk. Since Faith requires an action, so waiting is not God Way.. ASK = Ask, Seek &amp;amp; Knock… So asking is not jus asking but also require you to actively seek it and knock away the deterrence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Study&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most relevant to most of us… Common sense question… Is there any1 that wait for knowledge to go inside the brain… Or we take action once in a while?? No!! to get good results, we need to have an action of taking up the book and start studying.. Our circumstances will not change unless our thinking change… So wats the point of jus waiting, and take up the book once in a while? What are u thinking in between your free time?? Other goals?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can go on and on, so many examples.. So waiting would require an action. I can say I have waited for God to make me rich and find me a wife for 22 years, since the day I was born. So what am I going to do about it? Make people upset?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will not wait anymore, not even for another day… I will keep on pressing on…. Pressing on, is an action of pressing…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-191015260685479387?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/191015260685479387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=191015260685479387&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/191015260685479387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/191015260685479387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/10/fed-up-of-waiting.html' title='Fed up of Waiting'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-7845529690813579764</id><published>2007-10-03T02:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-03T02:36:45.062+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Under performed for this Financial Year</title><content type='html'>Wah...

But as mentioned Benchmarking will never make u the market leader as you will always be a follower. To really have a competitive advantage (CA), something that only we have, u need to have a mixture of understanding of the situation. CA includes differentiation and Niche respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makinsey 7S model mentions that to be successful, most company would require the 7S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strategy - In terms of Short Term, Mid Term and Long Term. (done)&lt;br /&gt;Skills - Our Core Competency (done)&lt;br /&gt;Staff - The design/Innovation Staff (if One Man Operation, then DIY... done)&lt;br /&gt;Style - Management/working style (done)&lt;br /&gt;System - IT system (75%)&lt;br /&gt;Structure - NA&lt;br /&gt;Shared Value - A common goal with the staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But somehow patience is not inside... So does it mean that it does not applied to those with high risk appitite and insitutional investors?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making decision is also difficult. Should we do nothing, withdrawal, market penetration, or product development? If yr product is a Star (according to BCG matrix) then market pentration would the correct choice to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in life, no matter how good you are, advocacy threat still exist... So u may still end up losing... Withdrawal decision is for the weak. Impossible is only for others who will not succeed....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't know what to say also... write too much crap Liao...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually wat i really wanna write is that ....

But still somehow i really like M.Porter's model a lot. Skipped class to clebrate Kath's bdae, went for movie, and after the movie. Wanted to take photo but kanna faked by YuHua(sec sch friend who work at Cine), who say the shop open until 2am... I'ld still want to have the Photo taken some other day (I hope)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felt very bad that i went home first, hmmm.,, what i should do is to drive from home right?? So stupid of me, then can save $$$...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only "Constant" in Life is "Change". So what we need is to be adaptable and flexible. My eyes are much better so i can see better on what i really want. Sometimes a little spolier do happen in between the way... But In mgt we learnt to fight till we die and not give up our business so easily. Even if we die, we must make the competitor suffer losses as well...&lt;br /&gt;Do I sound evil? Hey come on, life is for the strong. Accountants only make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. So are we ethical? We help the Shareholders to make money, but what abt the worker? Walt-mart (Maga mart in US) still pay minimum wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worldcom and Enron both have fantastic Corporate Governance report and an unqualified opinion and yet they still go burst... So are the auditors ethical?&lt;br /&gt;Hace any1 thought of "what if" no one go wistle blowing? Both company might still be able to survive. Thousands of people may not lose all their pensions, and ppl would not commit suicide. So is it the right thing to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Circumstances in life will not chang. and we need to overcome it and only then, the circumastances will become smaller. No man is an island.. So, please unlock your the prison of yout heart and be more receptive to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'll press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jus came back from FTC, didn't study but i did my "readings" and "notes" for abt 1 1/2 to 2hrs at home before going for lunch....

They are usually those that are perceived to be the best performers or the current winner.  The purpose of benchmarking is to identify and adopt best known practices that can lead to superior performance. So to put it off simply, it means learn from others by copying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it takes time for learning curve to sink into the organisation and how much do we really understand the competitor. They have their branding and reputation built up already. We need to do the right thing that will help us succeed and not jus anyhow wack the fellow. In paper we talk about Ethics, but in practice, Ethics is for those who succeed already. Insider trading is also on paper only... Even Debtors confirmation can receive thru client leh... Don't play play, but play it the right way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But benchmarking do has its limitation. Benchmarking is just a tool to learn from others, and not a tool to win. If we copy others we can only be like them or be the same as them. We can never be better than the competitor. So what we should do is having a hybrid approach, learn from benchmarking and attack by CSF.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-4972548153829950939?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/4972548153829950939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=4972548153829950939&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/4972548153829950939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/4972548153829950939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/09/benchmarking.html' title='Benchmarking.'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-8901402634004597478</id><published>2007-09-10T13:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-10T13:49:35.584+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Purpose in Life</title><content type='html'>We often speak about finding our purpose in life, so often that we wonder if this is really what God wants us to do, to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find our purpose, we need opportunities, and an opportunity is really the intersection where our talents meet the human needs. Everytime we do our mundane job (Call over, Casting and Stat Audit), we are moving closer and closer to this intersection where the opportunity of the lifetime lies. Our every day job, though we may think it is not our life purpose or what we’re created for, is preparing us for THAT opportunity, that when we see it, we are prepared and trained enough to embrace it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we must stay focus and not be move to the sides of the road that is planned for us. Distraction may come and you’ll think that this is what you really want, but is it? Time is the only evidence that will prove that the only goal that you should be going for is one that is in line with what you originally plan. Surrender yr heart, body and soul to what you have planed, towards your purpose in life and do not entertain distractions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quit playing games with your own heart. Sometimes there seems no way to be breaking free, sometimes you’ll feel like giving up and give in, wanna quit the fight. Again Life is never fair, and it will never be. So keep on keeping on, you’ll see the shadow through the rain, rainbow after the rain. When you look back, you’ll realized what a wonderful journey you’ve walked, what a wonderful experience you have gained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how much did I understand myself? Have I been living in denial, going for something impossible, so hard to get? Giving and yet not receiving?

As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People always say that "Its going to be alright" but it will never be unless you change the way you handle the circumstances. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;TALK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is cheap...

But one thing is gor sure, if you look around people around really cares for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Circumstances in life will not change. We need to overcome it and only then, the circumastances will become smaller. So keep on believing, as there is always some1 there with you. No man is an island..

Some stuff are very hard to articulate but I hope that what I really want can be told through actions rather than words. But is there a mutuality of meaning? Action should really speak louder than words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know my goals and what I really want, and I’ll keep on seizing any opportunity that is available to me. Whenever u ask God for something, He doesn't simply give it to u; instead He gives u the opportunity to obtain it! Things are slow moving but it is better than not moving at all… It is only normal for a plant to grow and if it is stationary, it would mean that it is dead. So why should anyone keep a dead plant at home and keep wasting their resources on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is having Ethics a good thing? &lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;好人 = 好笨的人&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;。It is really excruciating to be a 好人 and see that people succeed and yet you’ve failed to obtain what you want. Why did I not 趁人之危? I was taught that “Details would determine Destiny” but I have been very meticulous already.

It sounds unfair, but who has told you that life is fair anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are living in a broken down world and our destiny may partly be in our hands. Our action may not always bring happiness, but happiness will not come without action. So i strongly disagree any saying that guys hold greater responsibility as Gals can also be in a position of great influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes in stead of jus looking forward, we must really stop and take a step back so that we can see what we already have, and who is still here.

Trials and tribulation are promised to come and it would keep coming and coming. What we can do is to prepare for them and try our best to defeat it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fairy Godmother and Guardian Angles are meant for those who live in denial but God, friendship and kinship will always be there to be a light onto our path.

This is indeed very much applicable to our life as well. We would have to know our standard before we can plan our goals. It would be a very sad case when u tries to aim too high up and fall right down. So what are the opportunity available to me? There seems to be threat all around, but what are CSF do I have? "D" has said different “Market” would require different CSF, but it seems to me that if you are new to the “Market” the current competitor would have an advantage of Economics of Scales and familiarity so it would be a very tough fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Potter’s 5 Forces Model also talks about how anyone can use their CSF to block or force their way into a new “MARKET”. The current competitor has done a very good job in blocking new entrant and keeping the doors to the "MARKET" closed. Even Strategic Alliances seems to be not working. Is my Alliance too weak to help or has forgotten about the alliance? I do really hope my Alliance remember to do what is required. Haiz.., really need to study “Value Chain” to know myself better so as to better improve on my CSF. Weight is confirm a pitfall for me… Where is my confidence? Must remember that “Failure is the Mother of all success”...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(So Alliance, please remember to help me take notes when I skip class.

Goals that I want to achieve and plans that I’ve made seems to be getting ambiguous and further away from me. The road that I am walking on seems to become more and more difficult. It does make me wonders if I had made the right choice or should I go for something easier, something that can be achieved effortless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many things that I would want to achieve but then it seems that my effort do not produce the results that I expected. Did I demand too much for perfection or did I set a too challenging goals for myself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is a saying that There Is No Such Thing As A Shortcut In Life. Shortcut don’t work out for long because they bypass the stages of growth and maturity that are necessary for a person to be able to handle (anything). God’s way for us is through hard work, diligence, and refusal to give up, where we can find a better life in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all the struggles, I realised that in life we do not cherish things that are easily attainable. Things that are easy to get, things that are discounted may be good but you will not cherish it. We tend to cherish more and treasure those that are hard to get, expensive and that require double our effort. So why do people go for the second best, when they can try to go for the best and know that it would be one choice that they will not regret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Must Get Results and Never Give Regrets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Hmmm… So did the choice of giving up NTU for ACCA a good one? That’s up to you to decide.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-3937580926109138785?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/3937580926109138785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=3937580926109138785&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/3937580926109138785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/3937580926109138785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/09/vague-pathway.html' title='Vague Pathway'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394542770014499205.post-6119452980710615954</id><published>2007-09-01T00:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-01T01:37:42.320+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Y am i so hot tempered.</title><content type='html'>Today, i was doing half yr review, and I was busy compared to others. Was late for work again, but then i dun think "some1" remebered that if i reached office later than her i am suppose to treat breakfast... anywae since she forgot so be it.. save $.. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to gloden shoe to have lunch and this is the 3rd time that the 2 tall gals join us... Feeled so pressured walking beside them esp. Isabel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was 3/4 done with my work at around 5pm where i thought i can rush and get it done by 530 but guess wat. The 60 yr old lady from HR called and ask abt the ACCA fees again..&lt;br /&gt; Ah..... how many times must she call.. And at this point of time i realised that i am still as hot tempered as before. Haiz... Why? I thought i have changed.. I must really learn how to work under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jing Xian (or Jing Xuan... watever..). came back to office after so long and she told me that she received some info and i am surprised on how info can be passed even to those who are on job for the past 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are not going so well these few days as i dun see any improvement. Did i not try hard enough or i tried too hard. Haiz...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tried to study for Sundays' P1 and P3 mock exam but there are still a lot of readings to do...

Hopefully i will not get caught...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I went to gym after work and guess wat i saw the personal trainer again but the good thing is that he is training some1. I used the strider for 42 min and did some station, afterwhich i fell asleep in the steam room again... This time for abt 35 to 40 min... I guess it was too comfortable to stay inside the steam room..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met Reagan at orchard at 9pm and he went to Skin and Ed Hardy to shop..... Why??? because he made $$ from share again.. Ahhh... Then Victoria came to meet him... But who knows he got "work" to do and all he said to us is "I'll be back, wait for me". Waited for abt an hr and finally he is back, to send Victoria off... And he ask me to wait at Cine to check for movie timing while he went off again to meet another group of friend. And this wait lasted for another hour (from 11pm to abt 12am). Was suppose to watch the 11+ movie with the usual people but then it was cancelled.... AHHH... I waited there alone for nothing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good thing is that i was playing wif my PSP and watching people playing CS while waiting... Multi-tasking... Same as Reagan, planning movie outing, while meeting 2 diff group of people... hmmm... The more i watch them play, the more i wanted to play, perhaps this is due to the fact that we trained hard for the inter CPA competition, and now hand very itchy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz... now its abt 2am and i am here blogging.... IT Show is on tomorrow and i'll be going down during lunch time to check out any good deals.... Good Night everyone....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2394542770014499205-5279111599048850048?l=nowis-nowis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/feeds/5279111599048850048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2394542770014499205&amp;postID=5279111599048850048&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/5279111599048850048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2394542770014499205/posts/default/5279111599048850048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nowis-nowis.blogspot.com/2007/08/my-first-post.html' title='My First Post'/><author><name>Simon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02962789448311173089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lXJZNTDNrgk/SwpHDTprywI/AAAAAAAAAmU/QWiBFR2Fylc/S220/Photo-1897.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
