I am at another crossroad.
Deciding between a safe green pasture, and the other, a greener pasture that might await, which however the route there is covered in thick mist.
However I have decided to be adventurous and wander into the mist, in hope of finding the greener pasture.
Wish me luck.
Update:
Damn it. I am so easily convinced. After speaking to few people, i seem to have a better view of my current situation. Arghh i can’t really decide my direction.

Recently, I was looking through at the “theory” of buying a house in Singapore. It looks rocket science to me. And it seems like the rules of getting a house are changing every few damn years.
A question came to my mind.
“Dear, so do you want to buy a flat together?”
This question, has been toted as probably the most unromantic proposal question being asked by guys in Singapore. Indeed, it isn’t really the sort of question to ask when you are trying to asking your beloved if they are willing to spend their rest of their lives with you.
I thought i would not be asking that question to my significant other before properly asking her to live with me forever and happily. But it seems to be fairly impractical to do so. What i can conclude is that, Singaporean guys are partially being pushed down this route by the rules and regulations of owning a flat, and the demand for efficiency .
What I want is to move out as soon as I am married. From the time you purchase a your dream HDB flat, you may have to potentially wait for 2-3years before you could actually get your keys, move in and live. So to minimise the wait for house, the “wanna-buy-a-flat-together” questions would be popped up before your “diamond-ring-and-get-down-on-your-knee moment” pops out.
I wish that i could be a little more romantic, but sorry dear 
Top 10 Smart and Lazy Ways to Save Your Workday
If you leave the office most nights feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and behind on everything you’ve got to get done at work—even though you just spent 10 hours there—you’re letting your workday get away from you. It’s too easy to let the hours you spend at the office get stolen by meetings, email, interruptions, and impromptu co-worker chats that leave you saddled with busywork and too distracted to get the important stuff done. But with a little thought, you can leave work feeling accomplished and complete instead.
How to Stop Checking Email on the Evenings and Weekends
Fifty email messages beget 100, which beget 200 and so on. It’s impossible to manage this with a results-by-volume (or frequency) approach. There are two cornerstone behavioral changes for reversing this trend: check email less frequently (so we send fewer messages) and send fewer messages when we do check (so we trigger fewer exchanges).
Some useful tips for getting things done. Not really applicable for me now(not that busy). But to put it here as a reminder, when i need it
I was surfing thru wikipedia today and i came across an entry on Cantona. This former footballer, I know he’s good and he’s got pride and he thinks he is God.
But i came across a quote by Paul Ince, former midfielder of Manchester United. I was wow-ed by his attitude in that statement.
Paul Ince about Cantona before he entered court: ‘We stayed at the Croydon Park hotel. So we got up in the morning and I’ve got me suit on – the nuts, know what I mean? I knock on Éric’s door and he’s standing in jacket, white shirt, long collars like that [he gestures to describe long, pointed collars], unbuttoned so you can see his chest. “Eric, you can’t go to court like that”, I told him and he says, “I am Cantona, I can go as I want”‘.
This man’s got attitude.
On the weather note today, I felt pretty warm throughout the day. It seems the airconditioner doesn’t seem to work at anywhere. At work, in the train station, along the underground CitiLink. I went to the toilet, took a dump and I felt even warmer.
I see a guy with scarf on, a few others with sweater on. Is there something wrong with me? I too want to feel the cold! I want to wear my sweater and jumper stow away in my cupboard. But I can’t wear it, for i will sweat like a bloody pig.
Do they feel warm? Or do they just wear those for the style of it, while cursing at the heat?
its been ages since i kicked a ball. just an hour of kicking and running on the court was enough to make me pant like a dog, legs like lead.
but it was a good session of kicking balls. criss crossing the ball until legs tied up in knots and putting few balls into the net!!
at least something to keep the increasing waistline in check(fingers crossed!!) I need to resume my exercise regime. Last year i trained for the half marathon, however i suffered from a high fever that very day, so i had to give it a miss.
damn it, I am so gonna do the half marathon this year!
I think I shall try to post up some stuff every day(or every other day :p)
Any particular reasons? Not anything life changing, but i guess i need some place to throw up my gibberish thoughts and whatever that may not have an appropriate audience.
To begin, i shall plug HELLO MY Name is BLOG!. This site is by Scott, or known as The name tag guy, who goes around with his name tag on(duh) daily. Mainly he shares his ideas and tips on creativity and APPROACHABILITY
Must say his site is a very interesting site, which he updates regularly. The advices he shoots off seems pretty applicable in our daily life.
Doing sales? That should be some advices that can be used.
Marketing? There are some advices for that too.
Impressing your date? There are some….oh well you get it.
Have a read! Now to put those ideas into application. grrr.
