Pre-enlistment

It will be less than 48 hours before I go in army. Just a little update of what I had done.

Recently went to JB with Jackson, one of my yamaha colleagues. I don't know how to put it into words but after a hectic life in school and working, to be able to enjoy the day relaxing its unbelieveable.

We took a long bus jounney to a 5 star hotel. There was this place where you can swim, spa, massage, watch movies and eat the whole day just for Sing $40. There were extra services as well which I'm not gonna talk about it.

So when we get there we just eat and eat and eat and eat. Feel like Julius Caesar Man. It was my first time doing spa and massage and the experience was shoik.

When we came back, Jackson and I were smuggling dvds and cigarettes into singapore..stuffed all kinds of things into our pocket and it was really funny when we walk..

A day after, it was my last day in Yamaha. I have a great time working there. Take away the boss it is actually a perfect working environment. Definitely learned a lot from this bunch of ppl. Hope to see them soon.





Been spenting my last week idling around in the house doing nothing. Everyday I woke up not even knowing what is my agenda or what. Just lazed around seeing the day goes by. Was browsing the Cambodia pictures and wanted to share these 2 pictures..

This was the time when the girls were learning how to dance their traditional dance .Then they were brought out to show the guys what they had learned. After that all the guys were bought into the cricle and they danced around us and asked us to dance with them.

We look at each other, 19 of us from different walks of life, 1000 miles away from home in paradise, you know this is incredible. I will never hear another tribal drum beating from the radio, I wouldn't think about that day and bring about a smile on my face.

These cambodian people, you could tell the ritual and the dance they were doing were authentic and you could tell that the love they gave was real whether we are the best in our studies, loser or backstabber or whatever. It felt good to get away from Singapore and not think about the commitments we have in Singapore and just remember what its like to be a human being.

With that being said, I hope those people reading my blog would also take time to really enjoy life because we only get to live once. Doesn't matter if we are not the best in this or that. When was the last time you looked up the sky and was really amazed at God's creation? When was last time you went to Seletar reservoir enjoying the beautiful scenary?

Happy Birthday =|

Happy birthday to u..
Happy birthday to u..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you..

Weird Customers

Here are some of the most weird and moronic encounter while I was in Yamaha:

Me: Hi Madm, Yamaha member?
Moron No.1 : Yes
After cashering everything, packing her items and giving her recipt
Me: There you go Madm have a nice day yea
Moron No.1 : Eh where is my separate receipt?
Me: What separate receipt?
Moron No.1 : I though you say u could print separate recepit? One receipt with yamaha member
discount and another one without.

WTF? did I say that? Maybe i really did when u were doing the talking and I was doing cashering

Me: Sorry Madm we can't do separate receipt because the cashering machine doesn't allow that
Moron No.1: But u say that you could. I'm buying this for my friend and I wanna show him both
receipt!

Obviously she bought 2 keyboard pedals with her discount and showing his friends the receipt without the discount so she could get the full money back. The difference is only $4!!! knn



Me: Sir total is $236.60
Moron No.2: Where is the receipt?
Me: Eh.. Sir u havn't pay so I can't show you the receipt
Moron No.2: I know, you got to show me the receipt then I will pay!

KNN.. u got go NTUC ask them to show you the receipt then buy the items one. Fucking stupid sia.


Me: Hi Sir
Moron No.3 : Hi, I am looking for nylon for guitar.
Me: Sir u looking for classical guitar strings?
Moron No.3: No, I am looking nylon not strings.

What the hell is he looking for? In the end I showed him classical guitar strings

Moron No.3 : Ahh yes yes. What is the difference between these strings?
Me: Blah blah blah..

In the end he asked 2 more colleagues of mine and sat there for 15mins staring at the strings.



Me: Hi Mdm
Moron No.4 (Korean) : Hi I'm looking for music stand for my son
Showed her all the music stands.
Moron No.4: Is there discount?
Me: Mdm is your son a yamaha student? If he is, there will be 10% discount.
Moron No.4: Student..yes yes. He is a student

Iris(My colleague) : Mdm total is $24.
Moron No.4 : I thought that gentlemen there(me) said there is discount for student?
Iris : Oh.. Can I have ur son's yamaha student card?
Moron No.4: Yamaha student? No no.. he pri 5 student.

Cheese pie.. Trying to sabo me sia.. Boss was around and make her signed up for yamaha membership. Did all the documentation for her.

2 days later.. I got a lecture from Boss. why?
Because her son is 11 years old. To be a member you must be at least 13years old.. She put her son's particulars with her birhdate so while doing the documentation I didn't realise anything wrong.

Cheese pie HQ gan Boss.. Boss gan me.. Don let me see her again sia bloody hell..

Let's move on

Yes finally I have graduated from Poly.. no more projects, no more exams and no more boring lectures. I wonder how is everyone doing now. Going through all these is like finally we completed a series of season of survivor or apprentice. To all my poly frens out there, I think its being a very wonderful time knowing everyone of you. And its really a pity that I did not get to know some of you better and I guessed you did not know me well either. Nevertheless all the best in life. There is actually alot things going on in my mind now but cant seems to put into words. Ending off with this poem..


A chapter of your life story will close
One with familiar sights, sound and people
Another chapter of your life story will begin,
One filled with unknown and doubts
May the old chapter be filled with great memories
and may the new bring you a bright future

Menstruation

This is something that happens to me monthly...
The pain is excruciating...
Its so troublesome that I have to wear it...
Every month need spent so much money...

I'm talking about my braces. Eating meals is really painful with those new wires. Got Orange for my rubber band. Wanted to choose red but then all of the sudden i forgot to tell the nurse so just anyhow choose a bright color.

Its really freaking pain when I ate dinner just now.
AND NOW I'M HUNGRY AND I CAN'T EAT OR BITE. What the hell lah.
Forget it, you'll never feel the pain until you have those metal stuffs in your mouth.
Guess what, there's still one and a half years more to go...Sigh. :(

No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!

Been trying to send this email to many out there, but there were errors with the pictures.
So decided to upload to my blog instead. Here goes...

See this person and never feel inferior and tell u r unable....Be positive...Be optimistic....Never never give up the hope....


Living Inspiration ............

My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.

"Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."

....To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia ), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.

The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.

Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life I'd be able to lead. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school.



The law in Australia didn't allow me to be integrated into a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles and gave my Mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.



I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention. I was encouraged by my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids. Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing me with new friends.



There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. I understood that love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.



Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying, self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.



One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted.












"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him."

That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life.

I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.

I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.



I am now twenty-two years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.






















I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.



I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"











I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

Nick have no arms but he has done so much work in the kingdom of God.

Nick have no legs but his walk with God has been a firm one.

Dear Friends, Nick's testimony has inspired me in many ways. Hope it does the same for you.
