I feel soooo indignant now!

You know, sometimes you have certain conversations with people and they spark off certain emotions within you and suddenly you just have a lot to say?

Yah, I just had something like that coming my way a couple of hours back. So, like how Jaydee Quek would react, he would write entries to air his thoughts. Doesn't matter if anyone would read and agree. In fact, it'd be perfectly fine even if you disagreed. Truth of the matter remains that I believe that sometimes, in fact most of the times, logic RULEz. So, here's a prelude to what I'm going to blog about. I'm not sure when the entries will be out but they will be out. I promise.

Why I think that free will is very important and sacred!
Why I believe that you should share willingly!
Why I think everyone should read manga (Jap comic)!
Why I think that you should take responsibility over your own life!
Why I believe that when guys see a girl they really really like, they should just chase her!
Why I believe that girls should learn to position themselves when looking for a partner!

Yeah! Totally man, seriously, my goodness. I'm astonished at the way some people think. I think I do have a problem agreeing because it seems so illogical to me even though I wished that I could stand on the same side and nod my head.

But, I really can't. I really can't agree. Because, it doesn't seem logical and in the long run, just choosing the route that you deem, we'd all do ourselves more harm than good. Why? You're not looking at the big picture.

I'm sorry but I'm pretty fired up right now. Yet, who am I to comment? I thank God for creating blogs. I can air my thoughts here. By the way, it was just a simple discussion. If I'm an essay, I'm an argumentative genre. So yeah, I'm supposed to be doing work now. ROAR! Too emo to sit down properly and do work.

But, I need to.. So, end of rattle.

His Need Her Needs

The top 5 needs of a man?
1. Sexual Fulfillment
2. Physical Attraction
3. Recreational Companionship
4. Domestic Stability
5. Admiration

The top 5 needs of a female?
1. Affection
2. Conversation
3. Honesty and openness
4. Financial Security
5. Family Commitment

It doesn't take a genius to realize that its all different yeah. I like this book because it gives a different dimension to the most important relationship in your life. Marriage. I also like the following passage by Robb Thompson:

"As noted yesterday, the single most important factor defining your future is the
relationships you embrace. Your life is built by relationships. Relationships are
like those red, illuminated buttons on an elevator: some take you up, but many take
you straight down. Some take you up fast, while others take you down even faster.
Whether or not you recognize it, every relationship you have takes you somewhere.
In fact, these influential relationships make you the person you are today.

A good olive tree could yield from ten to fifteen gallons of oil per year. An entire
grove, therefore, had the potential to influence an entire village, caring for their
daily needs. And several groves influenced nations-the oil having been shipped to
nearby countries, as well as distant lands. So a good relationship with olive growers
was vital for everyone concerned.

Be protective of the time you give to others. Don't allow just anyone to be your
friend. Those closest to you determine the outcome of your life. Associate with
those who are going somewhere in life-those who are farther along than you are
today. As you do this, you will soon walk into your divine destiny!"

I believe in building long lasting relationships. Marriage is supposed to last till death do us part and thats gonna mean a very long time. Hence, it is only right that as a responsible individual, I invest my fair share of time in building up what should be strong and steady like a pillar.

If you haven't read the book yet, you should. It's not like a 10/10 rating kind of book but it sure does set the foundation for you to progress in your relationship.

I so disagree with Tan Kin Lian

There're lots of things that has been discussed on his blog. Some of it are factual, while others are written in a generally biased tone with an inclination to amplify the flaws of humanity and exploit those thoughts of men that's mostly easily accepted. *Personal opinion.

Its like telling people that they can become millionaires by sitting around plains waiting for heaven to rain gold. Truth is, they can't. All that happens is that they end up getting sunburned.

If you would follow his blog, you'd realise that he has generally nothing good to say about almost everything. He attacks the insurance industry, namely agents. He attacks the traffic system in Singapore and recently, he even attacked the Singapore Airlines. I so disagree with him because of his negative tone, so subtle @ it too.

I agree that insurance in Singapore would have been cheaper if premiums did not include commission. But would the insurance experience be better!? I hardly think so. Because of the fact that the insurance industry in Singapore is so competitive, the only way to distinguish myself is to provide top class excellent service. My job is not be hound my clients like a ghost. My job is to be there for my clients whenever they need me to be there and @ e same time, keep myself very updated about policy changes on laws and regulations so that I can provide the best advice.
That's what I do. Service is the key.

DIY insurance is just dumb. You expect to make your own claims when you're lying on your hospital bed, death bed, or coffin? Stupidity to the highest absolute degree.

@ e same time, I can't help but question his motive. What exactly is he thinking of doing?
- he indicated interest once upon a time to enter into politics
- left PAP n claimed that they're no longer how they used to be;income gaps widering etc etc
- ex ceo of ntuc; wonder if the things he says on his blog has any link to this?
- does he still hold shares of ntuc?

So a lot of questions.
Then again, who cares?! I may be a nobody today, but I seriously don't agree with the majority of articles he put up.

Life as Jaydee Quek

Life has not been the bed of roses that I would very much prefer to lie on. It feels more grass @ this point of time. If you pack enough of it together, it feels really comfortable but once in a while you're still going to get random allergies and bugs crawling out of your supposed haven. That's life nonetheless, you'll never really know what you'll going to get.

I'm pretty happy that I disconnected twitter from facebook cause that's where I do my screening. My tweets are more personal nowadays as I talk abt my struggles as an insurance agent and as a man who wants to grow the Kingdom of God. I posted my status including that today's e first time I'm attempting a 24hr fast. I proceeded to delete that entry in about 3 mins time. Always had the feeling that, when you're feeling, don't broadcast. Do it in secret. Why do I post it up here? Cause I know that only selected people still follow my blog since e time I slowed down on blogging.

Yah, I need a few minutes of air time.
YOUR air-time!

Its been 6 hours now since I started my fast. I drank coffee, soya bean milk, and mango milkshake. Trust me when I say that the grass looks delicious. I wonder how PK does his 21 day fast. Its so crazy that its magical. Respect the man.

O O O.. I have about 10 days left to the end of my financial work year. What difference can 10 days do? I don't know. But I do know that I must give my best. I must give it all that there is.

Just went for a BNI networking seminar. I think that the concept is pretty good. Kudos to my friend for inviting me. Whoever wants to network, do let me know yeah..

Until then, see you again! :)

How to blog from your BlackBerry ..

Kudos to Yunrui, and since she asked I shall blog about it.

The setup -
1. For blogger under dashboard, in the section where you can click new post or edit entries. You would notice a logo that looks like an email. Its similar to your BB messages logo.

Create your unique email address and remember it. When you send emails to this particular address, blogspot will accept it from whichever email and post it up as an entry. Hence, keep it secret.

2. Create a contact with this particular email for your ease.

Now blog!
How?
Use your default bb email and type an email. Log into your starhub bb services or singtel's to create your own signature.

Try it!

Anyway, am having supper now.. Yummy sting ray rice. Song bo!!

Haha! Enjoy your day! :)

The Spiritual Leader - Rev Dr Ulf Ekman

I first picked up this book as a gift from Zheng Hao. I read till page 23 and I stopped. Thereafter, my life spiraled downhill rapidly and I went into what I now refer to as my 'dark ages'.

That was about 4 years ago and now, I am back on track with God and my life.

Nonetheless, you know what they say, you got to pick up where you left off yeah.. Even the books that I used to read but didn't manage to finish reading, I decided to go back to them. Simply because it's a character thing. Be a good finisher. Don't pick up a book and yet not finish reading it. Worse still, don't ever buy a book for it to collect dust @ the corner of your book. I consider that a waste of finances.

Alright! Personally I think that the book is an easy read from Dr Ulf, it's simple enough to be understood by Christians of all levels. It's not like some mega deep theological books that seek to burn away @ your brain cells. It's a simple read. Direct, and straight to the point.

On the other hand, I think maybe because I covered most of the subjects during SOT, so I didnt feel like I had the WOW factor in the book. Were there verses or quotes that spoke to me during the read? YES! I guess that's what happens. If you read an entire book but you catch one point, one statement that changes your life....

That book, is worth the read.

Until next time folks, pray for me yeah..

The Glo Bible Software

I've been trying to blog for the past 3000 years but apparently time has not always been on my side. Hence, my blackberry came in handy. I'm typing this entry as I'm waiting for my train to arrive.

And this portion has been written while I'm in e train. Beautiful!

Anyway, I purchased Glo together with evangeline and isaac. A good buy in terms of pricing. I'll get to the specifications of the program in a while's time. We signed up for the free demonstration and behold!!! We got ourselves almost $100 worth of free gifts consisting of 2 cds and a book. How cool is that? And since we purchased Glo b4 svc started, it went for $85!!! Just perfect! Anyway, why 3 of us? Cuz the license allows installation of 3 devices. Just right.

Now, e juicy part.
The Glo software is a steal for just $105!! As I'm typing from my bold, let me try to recall the functions...

1. Altas
2.Bible
3.Timeline
4.Topical
5.Media

The media part is way awesome! Its an interactive flash like interface that allows you to move around in the temple during the days of Jesus. Even shows you roughly what Jesus could see when he was on top @ temple mount. The places that tourists aint allowed to go to? They have it inside Glo too! Art works, pictures, photos? Everything. There's a part of Glo that allows you to trace the footsteps of Jesus. Wonderful stuff!

My favourite would have to be shuffling between the atlas and the bible. Clicking on a verse gives you extra background information and by using the atlas, it will provide indepth study of the bible simply because you can now see the exact locations on the map, if the verse includes some location..

For eg, I realised the e great sea, met sea, western sea... Its all referring to the same place.

All in all I'm glad I purchased my copy of Glo.
What about you?
Grab your copy today!!!
