I want to be an effective friend.

I really think that my life suck at this point of time. I lost all determination. Well, this is not an emotional post of course. But its time for me to do some reflection.

I don't want to go back to the past where I really spent my precious time away. I want to live life to the fullest. Easy to say but hard to do. The natural element of laziness just flow in my blood.

The saying "Late is always better than never". I cannot agree more. Well, I think I am literally a live example of 少壯不努力,老大途悲伤. Since I am late, I hope to compensate with extra effort. To catch up with the rest of the people. I think I need a pad on my shoulder. I did a decent job..

Start of the poly, I wrote that I had some things to accomplish in my 3 years and well, although didn't manage to master them. I did improve. They are
  • Improve English
  • Control stage fright
  • Enhance Leadership
To some people, they are born with all attribute, but these don't come in my package. These are value added services that I had to learn it in the hard ways.

I tried to watch more English sitcom. Not the most effective method to improve English but still a good method. Listen is the best way to learn a language. Take infant for example, we teach them papa mama through constantly pronouncing the word to them. I can understand more as I watched more. Last time I need to read sub title, now I just need to listen. It develops my interest in English words. So objective accomplished.

During year 1, I had difficult facing and speaking to the crowd. As I read more and more help books. I realized that to control stage fright the only way is to acclimatize yourself to the crowd. As IS module, I voluntarily took up communication module to practice. See I made the effort to face my challenge. Good. And end up I did great for the module and was praised by the lecturer. This had always give me strength for the rest of my presentation and although I didn't do great presentation. But I guess more or less I could control it already.

As for leadership, I joined group and club to exposure myself to wider circle of friends. Took up leadership role and start leading. It was hard for me especially I am those kind of a natural born follower. Again mission accomplish.

Haha... I seems like gloating about my tiny achievement. But to me they seem like a whole world of a difference.

"Nice Reflection"
-----------------------------------------------------

I find that we need to live with a purpose everyday as they were god blessed.

Set an objective, work towards it. Achieve something and feel great about yourself. Everyone is constantly upgrading. If you were to slack, soon enough, you will find yourself lacking a big gap.

Then you will need to be like me, put extra effort to catch up. So we should always catch up with the rest of the people.

I think that street smart is an attractive thing. When we have friends, its because we are able to provide, information, comfort and support. No one wants a friend who knows nothing, not comforting and helpless in every aspect. We need to be useful so that people can make use of us. Sound very detrimental but sadly true. So now I try to be informative. Read more. Be more knowledgeable.

A lot more of reflection to write but maybe I should end there. Studying tomorrow...

Changi NEWater plant opened

SINGAPORE : Singapore’s largest and most advanced water reclamation plant — the Changi Water Reclamation Plant — will open next week. The pumping station at the new Changi Water Reclamation Plant is as high as a 25—storey building. The station collects all used water from the deep sewerage tunnels via gravity. The water then undergoes a treatment process at the plant before being discharged into the sea. Part of that treated water will be processed into NEWater when the NEWater plant, which is being built on the rooftop of treatment facilities, is ready. The NEWater factory which will be operational by May next year can produce 50 million gallons of treated water daily. This is equivalent to the volume of water in 90 Olympic—sized swimming pools. PUB said the Changi Water Reclamation plant stands out in its land use. "The designers have incorporated a space saving design concept — things like stack treatment tanks and also stack treatment facilities like our sludge treatment facil

Is finnciti a scam? a layman perspective

Recently, thru a friend introduced me a platform finnciti (previously known as smicap) where you can multiple your investment in folds. The return as per quoted is up to 100% just by holding your investment on hand. I was skeptical and interested at the same time so I went online to do a little research on my own. It is not difficult to return result by just searching: "Is finnciti a scam" or "Is smicap a scam". Reviews were in mixed bag. Some mention that they earned big bucks and its a platform for normal people to get richer while some other point out some resemblance of a scam structure and therefore classified finnciti as a scam platform. I am a layman using basic logic to analyst the concept and by no mean I am advising to invest or against it. But in my humble opinion, ALL INVESTMENT POSSESSES RISK AND PLEASE BE PRUDENT WHEN DOING ANY KINDS INVESTMENT AND ONLY INVEST IN YOUR MONEY THAT YOU CAN BEAR LOSING . SMICAP was established in 2007 by Singapor
