Paul's Fulfilling Life

Went to Jason's house to try to repair his notebook, but it looks like the XP software in the notebook is quite badly corrupted, can't even open the security center function, MSN & some websites. I told him to get it serviced at the Acer Centre at Jurong. We also went to shop for his birthday present. This year, he chose a watch & a pair of pants as his present.Actually I do not mind spending more than $50 for a friend's birthday present if we are close friends or good friends. At the same time, he booked the resturant for our dinner on 13 Aug. He is giving us a treat. A regular feature for all of us when our birthday arrives. After Jason's birthday, it would be Stella's birthday. I do not know what to get for her and if she wants any meals, since she joined my friends not long ago. Even though we can't be together, I am glad that we are still friends. I also didn't regret introducing her to my friends. Not like that Mr A, I am still regretting it no...

http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx Got this from my net friend's blog. Ling's website. It is quite accurate for me. Maybe u guys can try yours. Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes. Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really...

This week was a hell week peppered with a bit of surprise.Rebecca, the other net friend that I said I was going to meet, messaged me on Tuesday & said that "Let's meet for dinner." I thought , "Oh, since my mum was not cooking dinner as she was giving tuition, I decided to meet her. After some exchange of messages, we decided to meet at Suntec City. When I reached there at about 6pm, I went to deposit my pay cheque first before continuing my wait for her. She came at about 45 minutes later. It was a surprise that she actually can tell who I am. Maybe we were in the same poly, our departments share the same academic blocks. We walked to Sakae Sushi to have our dinner. Had a hard time finding the resturant though. Sometimes I wonder why Suntec can't have clear signs. Had a light and hearty meal & at the same time, knew more about each other. It was fun & interesting. I really enjoyed myself, hope Rebecca did too.

I was having my usual lunchtime breather today when I came across a TNP article that really tugged my heartstrings. A 22 year old guy, who is paralysed from waist down after an accident still managed to complete his poly diploma. I felt that I am defintely more lucky than him, having the ability to walk & work. I truly admire his courage & persistence.It is an inspiration for me as well. Not like some people who do not appreciate people's help. I leave it for you guys to judge. Just to say a big thank you to those of my friends who believe I won't do such a thing to him. Even my mum is surprised by his attitude. Here is what he wrote in his blog. He said he's not going to care, well I just leave it for you guys to judge. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=humourboi For me the article will always be my inspiration. Its a energy recharger for me.

Just wonder why in my life recently, there are so many people who are so lazy & yet always find stupid excuses for themselves for their laziness.First it was A, then this time is my cousin. She has the cheek to tell her mum that the English tuition that I gave her s****. I only made her do comprehensions, explain & mark it, that's all. I was thinking "Isn't this the way to cope with exam time management, by practising, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect." Looks like she just find stupid excuse for herself to skip it. I have told my mum, I would rather spend my time, teach my brother than teaching her. I am doing her a service, if not for the request for my mum. Sometimes I find it funny how people think. Haiz:(

Halfway through my dinner yesterday, I received a call from my dad, saying that he had found a full-time job & will start work on Tuesday. As for the taxi driving, he is still considering if he wants to continue driving on Friday & Saturday. I advised him that, since this job gives significantly lower pay than his previous job, he may want to consider driving on Friday & Saturday. I said its all up to him. If he is not planning to continue, my burden will be slightly greater. As I always tell my mum that I do not always spend a lot. I spend about $700 a month, which includes allowance to my mum. I can always manage to save the balance of my pay each month, except for the past 2 months, the family finances were pretty tight & also my wisdom tooth operation cost me a bomb. I have told my mum that I will be taking a break from my ACCA studies from Jan 2006. The break is expected to be about half a year to a year. I have been feeling very stressed about my job, with all the...

Today is one of my best poly friends birthday. Through my blog here, just want to wish Caifeng a happy birthday. Time really flies, we know each other for about 7 years already. Really hope that our friendship can go deeper & last as long as we are around. We went to Clarke Quay and had our dinner at one of the small eateries there yesterday. Although there were only 4 of us, Caifeng, Jason, Kelvin & myself, we enjoyed ourselves. Particularly, I enjoyed the sting-ray & prawns. The paying part of the dinner was very funny. Jason & I thought that the couple was going to bring us to some kind of resturants at Clarke Quay, so Jason & I thought that we could use our credit cards, but as we stepped into the eatery, we were thinking, "oh my god, not enough cash to pay for the meal. " We wanted to treat Caifeng, even though she said there was no need to as we had given her the sports voucher she wanted. She appeared to know that I had paid more as Stella was sayin...
