Woah, I haven't been blogging for so long that my tagboard has been disabled even. Been going through some transitions, slight changes in my job, and finally I am free to have some breather.

I have been having some lazy periods, just trying to settle down my thoughts before I get my goals in place. 4 more months till the end of the year. I have one month to setup my website to sell the baby's stuff I brought back.

I have so many things I want to do, yet I feel I am pushing them one by one backwards. Thanks to Mr procrastination. I just came back from lunch with some friends I met during a volleyball game. Somehow the things that they say are kinda foreign to me cause I am from IT, yet they are from the finance sector. But deep inside it kinda makes me wanna find out what the finance world is about.
How does the corporate world works.

Yet at the same time it makes me feel like I am a frog at the bottom of the well. I lack exposure AND I lack the education. I have been trying to figure out what I should study next year. Perhaps I have an idea of what I want to study already. Just need to find out abit more, the costs, and I can get on my way.

I want to break out from the norm of life, in order to do so its takes more than just an idea, but strong determination. Something which is not really my strong point. In fact, its the worst characteristic of me as I am basically lazy, happy go lucky, and see how the world goes kinda guy.

I was talking to a friend on the expectations of life itself. How much a couple would require to own a house, the minimum income, basically, in order to live comfortably, I would suppose the minimum is about 6k combined income.

Yet with each year the rising prices of the house is getting higher and higher. And all for a 80 plus square meter box in the air for perhaps half a million ?? I dread the figures that would be churned out just thinking of the costs if I were to have a family in the near future.

I dread changes. Looking around me, everyone is changing. Heck I even get lost at Orchard ION just trying to find the exit to head to Lido just cause I don't go too often. Even Buona Vista is undergoing changes......CHANGES !!

I need to change, breakout from my routine and comfortable zone, at the end of the day, I came to a conclusion with my friend, without commitment, responsibilities, we wouldn't want to try to strive harder. Cause there is no one to work harder for like a family, a apartment, financial liabilities.

The first rule of thumb of getting rich issss....do not get in debt. Why I am comfortable now is cause of this lesson, yet at the same point of time, who in the world has so much liquidity to pay for every single item?

I am more sure on what I want in life, and I really hope to see it realise. I want to jump out from the bottom of the well, just to see what life has to offer. Time to let the mouth stop the talking, and time to do some walking.

Well going to have church tonight, need to do some dishes, and a bit of planning. Hope the next time I blog again. There will be some pleasant updates. Have a blessed weekend.

Its been about a month since I have blogged, during this time, alot of emotions have been flying about, its so unstable that I don't know where to start, neither can I explain what has happened.

I can't tell what tomorrow has for me, I can only know what I have to do now, while relying on my own strength at times, I can only do so much, to seek God once again, to hope to be flying along His side, and to realise what is my purpose.

Its time to finish what I started, to finish the race.

Though the world might not be where I belong, its cause I wasn't made for the world, I was made to serve His purpose, using what I have, using what was given to me. Let me use what was given, and as a gift bless others with it.

Though I might be seen as different, I didn't form the perception, neither did I put words in the mouth of them. Let those who say what they think, do what they want, I will not defend my stand other than those I fight for myself.

Well its the start of a weekend. And I have lots of things planned.

Hope you have a blessed weekend. God Bless.

Music is such a strange thing. It has the power to make a person dance, yet at the same time make a person cry. It has the power to touch a person making him weak, mesmerized by the tune, the lyrics.

It has the ability to bring a person closer to God. Consumed from the inside out. Lord won't you come down and bring me closer, not by own strength but Yours alone.

Will you use my voice for Your purpose, for Your Kingdom to come. Let me not dwell in the things of the world, but for the reason that You have died for our sins.

Let me not take the things around me for granted, but treasure what I have, living each day with purpose and not dread.

Would you take this life of mine, and use it for Your Glory.

It was a good time of worship today, my guitar skills need brushing up for sure, but than I think I didn't do as bad as I thought. I hit the notes I intended but I am not sure how it came out though, but the feedback was not bad so far, need more practice...

Its the first time I played with my E-Gig, fixed the strings today, cleaned the guitar, even bought a cloth for it. I am not used to my guitar yet. Still have lots of room for improvements. Trick, styles, effects, tons of stuff....but still singing would be my main focus.

I stopped my singing classes partly due to other financial commitments. I am abit hesitant to join cause I am not sure that coach is the right one, he has opened my mind to the possibilities I have never thought of before, still I am not trained the basics, breathing, pitch, head voice, whatever stuff like that.

5 months till the end of the year, focus focus...must make full use of the time.

Well thats all for today. Nite nitez.

This week has been full of ups and downs. With tons of things happening, not only at work, but in my personal life as well. I haven't gotten time to go and think about things. I guess I really need to.

Been pushing alot of things back, which is bad. This coming few weeks will be extremely tiring and trying. My job would require to give training to this vendor that could potentially one day take over my job.

Oh well, frankly speaking, I am not to concern about that, cause my job is given from God, if I am jobless one day, maybe I am thankful. I want to move on to the next stage.

My business planning is going so slow !! I need to buck up, in less than a month I would be going to get my stuff and embark on a new venture. Tons of loopholes to be covered, but I seem to be plugging them one by one. This won't really do. Buck up Buck up !!

I can only hope that I be given more strength in handling my daily events. I feel abit like Adam Sandler in the show "Anger Management". I am not heard, I hesitate to speak up, I hold on to things I want to say, and I just keep it in. What happened?

I can't figure out how it happened, but I need to stick up for myself, yet at the same time be confident in doing that.

I have been exercising like mad this week, almost 4 times a week, I welcome the energy, yet at the same point of time, its does take up some time. I am juggling 3 things I want to do now after work, studying investment plans, doing my business, and of course catching up with my gal.

At this point of time, I am not looking at the present anymore. I am looking towards the future. If I tire now just to see the fruits of tomorrow, I guess it would be pretty much worth every single min doing so. I just need to be more focus and put the plans in place.

Been looking at photos of other friends with their friends, I realise that everyone has their khakis of friends, I suddenly think, where is mine? I used to have lots of friends, but now, the groups I hang out with is more like a touch and go thingy.

At the same point of time, different friends have different things to say, doing different stuff, right now at this point of time, just hanging out at a pub listening to live music would sound like a chilling idea haha.

I haven't touched alcohol for a longg lonnnng time. I have the sudden urge to just hang out at a pub and drink a tall glass of german beer or something.

Do I sound tired? Perhaps mentally, I am, drained from sleep and certain events. I think being tired makes me cranky, being a sensitive guy, its hard to determine what should I pick up from a person's conversation. Deep inside the feeling run like a river, uncontrollable, yet when it comes out, I seem to put a dampener on it.

Is this what is holding me back from speaking out?

I have a few good days alone to think about stuff. Or perhaps more, I need to seek God, and even start being serious about my business. Taking this time to reorganise my thoughts and plans.

Things are moving, slowly. Well gotta fix my guitar strings, leading worship which I haven't done in a long time.

I leave you with a very wise pastor's word on success.

"IF YOU DO NOTHING, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN"


Miss dancing...

God Bless you all. Take care.

You know that you aren't like that, but you do it. You know what you need to do, but you don't do it. There are many things in life in which we know, feel or recognise, but somehow, we aren't able to control the circumstances resulting in the opposite reaction being shown.

Hi my name is the David the procrastinator. Welcome to my blog.

Its been quite awhile since I have blogged. This post is kinda random. Nothing in particular, nothing specific, just something I need to get off my chest.

First of all, I dread work. Not that I am not thankful, but I dread my work. Tonight I learnt through Bible studies that we all have a part to play at work, we are put there for a reason, not that I didn't know that in the first place, but its hard applying that logic at work.

I have always been asking myself what am I doing in the IT line. From one job to another, its been 5 years. But God has a purpose for me to be here. What I am there for, I can't really answer that...now.

Ecclesiastes 2:24 (New International Version)

"A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God"

We are asked to find satisfaction in our work. In order to find satisfaction, the only way is to hand our jobs upon to God. He won't give us something what we can't bear. Right now, I can only trust in God, that the next few goals that I am planning, would be in accordance to His word as well.

This 6 months, I have accomplished most of the things I wanted to do, inclusive of singing, driver license, and I have left my class 2 to take before I would have done almost the things I have intended for this half year.

I want to aim higher, I want to stretch myself, to see where I can go.
The next 6 months, would be the turning point in my life. Hope I would have a terrific birthday in the next coming turn. Amen.

God has been good so far really, I came back from my church camp recharged. I don't dread going to work so much. Although there are times, I wish I was doing something else.

I realised where my part or role in the church is. And I would need to strive even harder to work towards my goals. Singing, and possibly take up learning guitar if possible. But I think that would be quite highly impossible as I don't have so much time ahead. Would it still be worship leading? I leave it up to God to bring me to that level. I would work hard on trying to be a better singer. For now, I am just contented to have the chance to sing.

The recent H1N1 has been causing quite a commotion around the world. With traveling being posed as a possible threat to catching the virus, Singapore itself has become quite a dangerous place to visit as we face increasing numbers of people being infected.

Its really uncontrollable at the current moment. But the stupid thing is they are implementing a self quarantine on companies, which could potentially eat into our own leave. Why doesn't it effectively utilize our MC instead ?? If someone is really infected, its like we asked for it. Which is stupid.

I seriously doubt that would deter people from traveling though. But the chances of getting infected? I would feel is perhaps the possibility of getting into a car accident. If you are just not careful, you just might meet up with one.

Have you ever felt angry when you know you shouldn't? You try with all you might, but in the end, the anger just seems bursting out of control cause you simple can't contain it. This week I happen to be angry with someone, I am not sure if its cause I feel that I have been wasting time, trust and communication issues, I just happen to be upset. I feel bad yet the same point of time I am angry.

I wish I could be more empathetic and sensitive, unfortunately, I just can't control what I was feeling.

Perhaps its the effort I put in for rushing back. I spent certain time and effort for trying to communicate, yet it always ends up with doing that for nothing.

At the same point of time, that certain someone happen to have tooth trouble, and I really feel bad for not showing enough concern, and not being understanding enough. Maybe its partly I didn't even know in the first place and it makes me kinda upset that something quite major had happened, and I seemed oblivious about the whole thing.

I am sorry for that. I really didn't mean to be so insensitive towards the whole situation. Especially when its just alot of bad timing happening most of the time.

Good luck for your quiz yah. Hope you do well. Take care.

Gotta go, I need to wake up in awhile, and singing 7 songs in church !!

I had a NIGHTMARE !! It was so real that I can still vividly remember what I said, what happened and almost every single freaking detail. No kidding !!

Its so terrible that I don't think I want to blog about it here. Its just seriously depressing. This is one of the Deja Vu I hope never to happen. If it does, I think I would be devastated.

Had quite a slow but smooth week. Last week of driving already before my test next Friday. Somehow, I don't think I am ready you know. I just went into the circuit yesterday and fumbled up. What would you expect accessing the circuit for the first time inside? I know the techniques. But I don't know the route at all. I just need to suck it up. Cause I know if I don't, I will definitely need to take it again.

Went to KTV yesterday with some friends. I haven't improved at all since I took my classes. Okay just a little tiny bit. Still LOTS of improvement to go.

It was fun though hanging out with my funny friend and her old classmate. AND she always calls me UNCLE !! Arugh....

Still learning the song Falling Slowly, I recorded the first version and I mumble when I sing!! Drats, I am still hanging on to that bad habit of mineeeee.

Packing my room is such a chore, and I haven't scoped out my bed yet, bills are unpaid and I haven't sent my email for some stuff I am doing. I am such a procrastinator !!

There was a report on the news recently about older women going for younger men. Its such an interesting subject to talk about that I was chatting with my friend all morning at work about the news. Whoops haha, multi-tasking okay.

Perhaps men finding younger companions would be a norm. But women finding younger companions, would that really such a taboo in our modern society?

I guess when women young and eligible, they certainly wouldn't think of getting someone younger due to security, financially, and probably guys who are younger can be quite immature too.

But when you are self sufficient, been there, done that, and you realise you are still alone, would that prompt you to look in the different page of the bachelor directory and realise that all you need is perhaps someone to rely on ??

The most common thing I hear from all my friends are women in SG are so demanding. Especially the generation of today. Whether it comes to spending, their mile high walls surrounding them, expectations, wants, and we are not even talking about what they would prefer in the characteristics of their partner.

Its perhaps a stereotyping of ALL the women but perhaps there must be some dumbfound truth in that, else where does that rumour pop up from?

Perhaps that has lead to women who are picky and unmarried at a later age.

Sometimes my guys friends ask me go clubbing for the purpose of picking up gals. I ask them why can't they pick up gals themselves? They said that if I am there they have a higher chance ??!!

But the main reason I think is perhaps, I told them that its not hard to get to know someone. Despite some gals do have a attitude and grow eyes on their head, what could be the worst that could happen? Rejection ?? If you don't get to know this person, there is always somewhere along the way. Its not the end. Move on !!

And DESPITE the stereotyping of SGgals being not so friendly, you can't take the perception and like a bowling ball knock down all the pins just because one person is like that.

Some gals just need chatting up thats all. And if there is no chemistry, Next !!

IF 2 ppl really care and love each other, what would the opinion of anyone else really matter?? Of course there are some truth and concerns when it comes to the obstacles that might and possibly happen. But when 2 parties have decided to start the r/s. I suppose they would have already discussed the consequences lying ahead.

The greatest barrier they would face is themselves. Minding about the stares that other ppl give, gossips that would be spread behind their back. If they can survive the "twitter" of what people say. Perhaps chances of trying the r/s would be a tad much easier.

SO what is ur ideal partner or relationship? I believe those that have found their other half, would be able to answer that. But till than. If you are still single, it just means you have yet to meet the right one. Happy finding =)
