Is the cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
My answer.
The cup is full of matter; 1/2 full of optimism, 1/2 empty of pessimism; 1/2 empty of void, 1/2 full of void.
The cup is full of matter; 1/2 full of optimism, 1/2 empty of pessimism; 1/2 empty of void, 1/2 full of void.

A Child's Learning Journey
While walking back from getting water at work, I suddenly recalled something random of my childhood. and I just felt like penning it down before the insights go away, like the many that I have before....
I remembered when I was little, my parents' bedroom has this big wardrobe with two full-length mirrors. I was rather fascinated with the mirrors because they are acting as doors to the wardrobe. so you can fold and tilt them towards one another, and you can see multiple dimensions of yourself in the mirror. it was pretty cool.
but i recalled that for a period of time, i would run across the bedroom, jump in and out of the front of the mirrors. basically i was looking at my reflections. why? because of a stupid reason.
I knew the reflection will moves at the same time as I move. But I know in an absolute relative term, my reflection will always be slower than me. Light has to travel from my body, to the mirrors, back to my eyes, and have me process the visual inputs before I can 'see' my reflection move. So in an attempt to see that relative 'lag', I tried moving in and out of the front of the mirror, hoping to at least see the 'lag'. it's stupid, but at my age, i was pretty much mentally and physically consumed over the act.
and then i thought, what if someone told me straight in the face that it's not possible? reason being light travels at a light speed. haha... but ya, what if someone told me that? are they expecting me to just nod my head in acknowledgement and recognize that it's a dumb, useless, nonsensical thing to do? and then spoil all my fun??? haha..
what i want to say is this... kids should be allowed to do dumb things. they should be given the freedom to explore the world in which ever realms they ponder upon. they should be given the chance to makes mistakes, so they can learn. like the pain receptors that humans have, those sensations of pain teach us what is harmful, what is not. and for those who unfortunately do not possess pain receptors, they tend not to live that long, and hurt themselves more, sometimes they don't even realize they're hurt. so yup, i was thinking to myself... if my kids do dumb things in future, and no matter how nonsensical that may seem, if i feel they will have fun exploring or learn something from it, i will just sit by the side and observe them =) but somehow i got another image of my dearest yn telling the kids not to do stupid things when they do. hahaha...

Broken and Pieced Back
Came across an interesting thought today.
when any kind of relationship, be it friends, family, and lovers, get hurt in the process, there's the analogy of breaking the bond between and within. what people is afraid of is that, after breaking this connection (sometimes delicate and fragile), things will no longer be the same. it's broken. even if you fix everything back together, there will remains a crack. like the famous analogy I have read somewhere else on the internet; the "Nail In The Fence" story.
Extracted from http://www.gauraw.com/2012/when-you-say-things-in-anger-the-nail-in-the-fence-story/
***
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails and a hammer. The father, then asked the son to hammer a nail into the back of the fence every time he lost his temper going forward.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the new few weeks as he learned to control his anger a bit, the number of nails hammered daily gradually started to dwindle down. Soon he discovered, it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence....
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper. He was thrilled to tell his father about it. As he shared this achievement, the father suggest that he now go ahead and pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The day passed and the young boy was finally able to eventually remove all the nails from the fence. He was even more excited this time to share this new achievement with his father. As expected, the father extremely pleased. He congratulated the son and told him how proud he was for this achievement.
However, the father, slowly led the boy to the fence and he said, “You have done well, my son. I am very proud of you for what you have achieved today! But look at the holes in the fence. They will remain there forever. The fence will never be the same. Similarly, when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.

They will remain there forever. The fence will never be the same. Similarly, when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t
matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. But, a
verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends and loved ones are a very
rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend
an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts
to us. Water your relationships with kindness… and they will
grow. So be careful little lips what you say… and you won't chase friendships
away."
The boy now stood silent as he began to understand the value
of the lesson his wise father tactfully taught him.
This was a life changing lesson his father just shared
indeed. This story is probably not new and you might have read or heard it
before. But to me, every time this brings a fresh perspective and each time I
am reminded of the side effects of not keeping my anger in control.
***
Now, the lesson learnt from this story is that angry words
leave a scar. or in a more general sense, when you break things, however you
mend it, the scars will always be visible.
This story has remained, though not close to my heart, but I
guess conscious in mind. Know the consequences of the things that you do, the
words that you said. In that way, you will know what to do, and what to say, in
order not to create those cracks and scars.
But, this concept of "kintsukuroi", the
understanding that the piece is more beautiful now that it's broken and mended,
than when its original form. It's an interesting and refreshing concept to
behold.
What it teaches is that, breaking is an inevitable thing;
there are some situations that despite both of you doing your best not to hurt
each others' feeling and damaging the relationship held, the bond is still
gonna get broken, you both are still gonna get hurt and hurt each other.
emotions could have taken over, it could be the factors that are
circumstantial... or for whatever reasons. it's still gonna happen at some
point of time.
so what happens next?
This is something that I have found more important than preserving
the relationship; that is the determination and will to mend the relationship
that was damaged, and the feelings that were hurt in the process. kinstukuroi
appreciates the beauty of the gold that held the broken pieces together. but to
see the whole piece as still "broken", or as "evolved", is
a perspective, an attitude. as long as both parties are determined to make it
work, to repair the damage that was done, albeit the irreversible sights of
scars, the relationship could be seen as having evolved into a stronger
bond.
so what i got from this is that, it's okay to be broken. Not
to say being broken is good. But the willingness to mend what is broken, is a
beauty of its own to be appreciated at the same level as maintaining the
original form.
to yn.
I will be willing to mend whatever is broken. Even for a
million pieces.

wise words to remember
要原谅一个无心伤害人的人
不能做一个轻易就被人伤害的人
To forgive those how harm unintentionally,
Do not be someone who is easily hurt by others.
不能做一个轻易就被人伤害的人
To forgive those how harm unintentionally,
Do not be someone who is easily hurt by others.

reading a new book!
Let me focus on engaging life rather than living a timeline.
Drag me away from my watch and allow my eyes to wonder.
My thoughts shall follow with my mind free from clutter.
To be free, to live life.

Quarterly update!
well, it's been 3 months since i've blogged. so here I am, after work, at night, right before I sleep, having some time to spare and reluctant to do any work that I desire to be done magically... tada!
6 months probation is over. but i think the official email has yet to come because boss would probably be too busy to even process the admin. but anyway, work has been getting on pretty well. more projects are coming up, but sometimes it's hard to pull myself away from distractions at work. i'm still not really getting engaged at work, and I think i should really immerse myself in work; just keep the engine running and running. maybe I should just camp in office. hahaha.. it's afterall 24/7 guarded, I think.
so what happened in these 3 months?
hmm.. well, I had a nice trip to Cameron highlands with my family and yn. it was a short 2d2n trip, but mostly spent on traveling back and forth. i was quite delighted that she enjoyed herself, because I dont think many ppl would like to go on a trip like that to see the scenary. as i narrate the trip's sightings to the guys, i could sense their mockery when I said I was fascinated by the sunrise. haha.. one man's meat is another's poison.
there was another family trip with yn just before the cameron highlands. we went to the night safari! walking was really tiring. but still rather interesting lah.
oh ya, I got my driving license on my mum's birthday! woo... first try, lucky~ been driving rather regularly since then. and the money spent on petrol is also quite substantial. dad's handing some of the car expenses to me, like road tax. i guess i should do my part in that aspect since i'm using the car. but i think i'm getting more and more reluctant to take public transport. haha.. super lazy
haze is haunting singapore again, but this time, it's not going away any time soon. the psi went over 400. it was clearing these few days due to a wind change, and today we just got a hail storm in the west side of singapore. interesting. i thought i would only see that in australia, NSW, tamworth.
right after the trip, me and yn were looking at this bto in cck. we thought it was a good choice but changed our mind after we went down to the site and took a look around. i'm quite sure it's gonna be the same for the future bto. but i think we should spend more time to look around and know what we want rather than decide this on a haste. could be good or bad, but i feel more secured when i'm informed. hopefully we'll find something that we're confident of to make a choice!
i guess that's about all that is to update. for now.

a visit to a hydroponic farm
went to Oh Chin Huat Hydroponic farm yesterday as the interaction day event for my division.
damn hot ah...
but it's an indication to myself that my immune system is not that well.
they tested 'error' for my level of anti-oxidants. haha..
here's something to remind myself what to look out for (from yahoo~!)

here's something to remind myself what to look out for (from yahoo~!)
Top antioxidant rich foods!
Antioxidants are highly essential today, considering the worldwide spread of different cancers and other life-threatening health conditions.
By Mdhil | Mdhil – Thu, Mar 7, 2013
Be it a short trip to the supermarket, or a visit to the local vegetable market, here is a list of foods that are packed with antioxidants, and you should definitely be getting them home.
Tomatoes
Probably the most versatile fruit (yes fruit!); tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, which is an amazing antioxidant that you can put to use. Also, tomatoes give you that extra boost of vitamins A and C, which help keep the body functioning to its optimum level.
Best of all, the tomato ketchup that you use so liberally, also contains a huge amount of lycopene.
Corn
A favorite in the monsoons, corn is packed full of antioxidants lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin C. Plus, it helps protect your eyes, so be sure to load up on these on your next trip to the supermarket.
Spinach
You may hate it for all the reasons, but the fact is, Popeye got the girl (and his muscles too) thanks to this one single greenie. Loaded with iron, and an amazing blood purifier, spinach is one of the best foods to add to your diet. It also contains the antioxidant lutein, and the essentials beta carotene and zeaxanthin which help protect your body against the various ill-effects of free radical damage.
Berries
Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are not just meant to be in your ice creams, make it a point to eat these fruits raw, or as juices. Loaded with vitamin C, anthocyanins and quercetin, these berries can be added to your morning cereal, or whip up a handful of berries with a cup of yogurt, for freshly prepared fruit yogurt.
Bell peppers
They come in three colors and make your salads and pizzas colorful, but that’s just food for the eye. It may seem to be untrue, but bell peppers have more vitamin C than an orange; all the more reason to add them to your pizza toppings. Also, the threesome is known for their abundance in vitamins A, C and E.
Garlic
It adds flavor to your dishes, and keeps your heart healthy, but there’s much more to this teeny tiny herb than just this. Garlic helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol and acts as a natural antibiotic. Just a clove of garlic contains vitamins A, C, E and the essential minerals selenium, sodium, iodine, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
i'll start off with efforts to eat tomatoes.
whenever and wherever they appear out of nowhere.
organized a mini interaction game for my division yesterday as part of the RUM.
didn't really go as plan but it was still consider something.
i should get myself motivated to do the stuff i've been wanting to do for quite a long while.
days, weeks, months, and even years.
some things have to be timely, so I will be.

Gfac refresher
It's been a whole week of refresher for gfac. Things started out kinda fast. When I arrived at plab, they said I'm expected to do a sim by that afternoon. I was quite taken aback by the speed, but still went through it quite okay~ made a friend there, an older friend, who helped me along quite a bit to catch up on speed. Travelling is a major time consumer, whether is it going to plab, or pawai.
The 2 days trip back to pawai brought back some familiar scenery. The serenity of the place was something that seems missing from my normal days. And the most interesting Ns experience from this reservist was having 12 of us, getting stuck on a small patch of land in the middle of the sea because of low tide and the person who controlled the ferry crushed into the land. We were just swinging left and right for a while. Lucky the high tide came pretty soon for us to start getting back to main land. We were all wet from the runnin to the jetty under the rain. Getting stuck on the land, and having the rain, wasn't really the best thing to happen. Just an unique one. Haha..
Something that struck me was the seriousness of my role in the army and the attitude that some of the commandos showed. The instructors on the course were proficient and serious about imparting the skills of gfac. Cause the role holds great pivoting power which could turn the table if critically placed. The fire power that I wield with just a signal set is tremendous given that I'm just one person. One guy I quite admired was a staff sgt called victor. He was, to me, the showing of what a dedicated soldier should be. He train by challenging himself, doing his best, making sure he's fully prepared, always prepared to help educate less-proficient gfac like me. Haha.. I wonder, was it the commando that made him this way, or because it's who he is, that's why he became a commando.
Another week is going to start for my work at dso. I just had a run this morn I sbw, felt quite good. I will let this energy run through me, throughout the week.

Lunar New Year Day 3
Wow! a month + has passed since the start of the year.
i didn't realize that i havent blogged for a while till yn mentioned about it. haha..
well, it's the chinese new year again~!
this year has been rather okay i think.
the reunion dinner was alright, i got to eat quite a bit of bbq meat. haha..
didnt catch the fireworks like recent years cause mum was tired that night and sis was, and is still sick.
it's always nice to see all my relatives gather and crowd
talk a bit to my cousins, etc etc...
the visit to yn's house was rather anxiety-provoking as i'm not that used to big crowds of ppl i dont really know. but the visit still went fine =)
work has been rather fine.
still trying to work out the details of the upcoming project before things can get started.
will be doing up a presentation on emotion psychology, throwing in some of my fyp stuff and other things that i will be reading up on.
the palm reader and generally fortune telling for the chinese zodiac rabbit both mentioned that my job stability is not that well this year, and that i will have to work hard in my current work.
fine by me, bring it on~!
yesterday marked the 1st lunar year of me and yn together, and 3 weeks ago was our 1st year.
it reminded me that it's been quite a while since we've been together.
and recently i felt rather blissful thinking of a future with her. =)
things aren't always fine and smooth, but at the end of the day, we will still be holding hands.
so, we will walk on~
some things to buy:
-handphone for mum (can consider the phone used for recontract)
-desktop for living room (it show at MBS on 7th mar)
-desktop for myself (this would be a custom-made, but most probably not by me. hahaha)
-wireless mouse (nearly forgot, it's for dad), and keyboard
it's been a rather good start of the year so far.
motto for now: consistent work

Happy New Year 2013~!
It's been a while since the last post.
And I've been at work for the 3rd week!
although in the middle there's 2 holidays, 2 half-days, and 2 days of leave.
hahaha.. it's been a quiet period at office, mainly just reading up on the materials.
quite alright, looking forward to more interesting stuff!
spend the last night of 2012 with yn.
had a nice japanese dinner, brave the crowds at MBS and found a nice, relatively quiet spot along the road to watch the 8 minutes of fireworks when the clock struck 12. =)
the weather was cool and breezy as we spent the last few moments of the year talking about our resolutions, playing around, and some slight dancing. haha..
it was the perfect way to end the year, and to start the year, with my dearest by my side.
Let's look back at my resolutions in 2012...
1. maintain my IPPT silver or better
total failure on this. hahaha... had to go for RT and got a pass only.
2. build a better tank for wugui
another failure! i did attempt to make a wooden platform, but that kinda failed without the proper tools to make the wooden blocks stick
3. learn to live a healthy life
hmm.. i'm naturally void of sweets, chocolates, soda drinks, and eating more vegetables. but fruits, not really.
4. spend more time with family
i think i did. sometimes i would make an effort to be in the living room to watch tv with my family. i would express more concern for my family too.
5. find a job that i like doing instead of the need to have a job and earn $
this i definitely did. although there have been times i was tempted to fall outside of this resolution, but i finally found something i like doing, and gives me good money.
6. to not forget to smile when facing hardships
the few hardships that i faced in the year 2012... fyp, finding a job. and yup, i did smile in the face of adversities
7. start on project 366
alright, i'll start this year.
8. make a wooden craft again
i did, for wugui. ticked for this.
9. throw away things that should be thrown
threw away a lot of things this year! felt good =)
10. improve my fashion sense and buy more clothes
erm... i'm pretty sure yn would agree to this but would say there are lots of room for improvement. haha..
11. take good care of myself and the ones around me
did my best.
12. getting a driving license
in the process~
Alright, review done.
time for the resolutions in the year 2013!
1. Do good in my work
yn mentioned there isnt really any measurables for this. but i think self-evaluation would be a good enough gauge. haha.. this is my first job. and i want to excel in what i'm doing.
2. finish learning driving
as soon as i can!
3. IPPT Gold
i know i got a pass only, but heck, i'm going for gold! my company gives extra money for gold too! hahaha...
4. take up martial arts
probably after driving. something i've been wanting to do but without spare cash and time.
5. learn how to build a desktop
in my heart, i want to build a cool desktop which can play any games and run any programs without lag. but of course, i'm totally clueless about these stuff. hahaha..
6. savings
since i'm working and earning money, i have a figure which i would like to have in my bank by the end of the year.
7. project 366
i wonder how many years i have been talking about this for... but yeah! another year for me to try again!
let's just have 7 for now.
first day of the year! another 364 days to go~!
And I've been at work for the 3rd week!
although in the middle there's 2 holidays, 2 half-days, and 2 days of leave.
hahaha.. it's been a quiet period at office, mainly just reading up on the materials.
quite alright, looking forward to more interesting stuff!
spend the last night of 2012 with yn.
had a nice japanese dinner, brave the crowds at MBS and found a nice, relatively quiet spot along the road to watch the 8 minutes of fireworks when the clock struck 12. =)
the weather was cool and breezy as we spent the last few moments of the year talking about our resolutions, playing around, and some slight dancing. haha..
it was the perfect way to end the year, and to start the year, with my dearest by my side.
Let's look back at my resolutions in 2012...
1. maintain my IPPT silver or better
total failure on this. hahaha... had to go for RT and got a pass only.
2. build a better tank for wugui
another failure! i did attempt to make a wooden platform, but that kinda failed without the proper tools to make the wooden blocks stick
3. learn to live a healthy life
hmm.. i'm naturally void of sweets, chocolates, soda drinks, and eating more vegetables. but fruits, not really.
4. spend more time with family
i think i did. sometimes i would make an effort to be in the living room to watch tv with my family. i would express more concern for my family too.
5. find a job that i like doing instead of the need to have a job and earn $
this i definitely did. although there have been times i was tempted to fall outside of this resolution, but i finally found something i like doing, and gives me good money.
6. to not forget to smile when facing hardships
the few hardships that i faced in the year 2012... fyp, finding a job. and yup, i did smile in the face of adversities
7. start on project 366
alright, i'll start this year.
8. make a wooden craft again
i did, for wugui. ticked for this.
9. throw away things that should be thrown
threw away a lot of things this year! felt good =)
10. improve my fashion sense and buy more clothes
erm... i'm pretty sure yn would agree to this but would say there are lots of room for improvement. haha..
11. take good care of myself and the ones around me
did my best.
12. getting a driving license
in the process~
Alright, review done.
time for the resolutions in the year 2013!
1. Do good in my work
yn mentioned there isnt really any measurables for this. but i think self-evaluation would be a good enough gauge. haha.. this is my first job. and i want to excel in what i'm doing.
2. finish learning driving
as soon as i can!
3. IPPT Gold
i know i got a pass only, but heck, i'm going for gold! my company gives extra money for gold too! hahaha...
4. take up martial arts
probably after driving. something i've been wanting to do but without spare cash and time.
5. learn how to build a desktop
in my heart, i want to build a cool desktop which can play any games and run any programs without lag. but of course, i'm totally clueless about these stuff. hahaha..
6. savings
since i'm working and earning money, i have a figure which i would like to have in my bank by the end of the year.
7. project 366
i wonder how many years i have been talking about this for... but yeah! another year for me to try again!
let's just have 7 for now.
first day of the year! another 364 days to go~!
