#1111 – Just a little update here and there
Feb 24th
This is my post number 1111. Yes, it’s 1111th post now already! Wheee!!
So, well, I am just gonna update a little bit here and there.
Over a month ago, I’ve been going all crazy trying to setup a new business venture which has finally came to a realization and so far, it has been great. It is going to be a partnership and in His will, I do hope that it will all turn out fine.
…
Some say it is not easy to run your own business and I can truly attest to that. So much headache, but it is a headache worth having. I was told about it being the similar to “compounding interest”. True in a way.
…
CNY is over and it has to be one of the shortest and not much of a fun in my most honest opinion. I didn’t have much time to really enjoy plus work is really driving me up the wall! Haha…
…
I am like a born workaholic and it is all in my blood and I can go on and on till I run flat. That’s when I will go MIA and then I will be usually back in action again.
…
Financially is also another burden. I had some misfortune here and there, most of it is because of my small mistakes in dealing with customers which ends up with huge losses. Well, quite a substantial one but, glad that I can recover them by mid year as projected.
…
Other than that, I don’t think I will be doing much of blogging but small updates from time to time. Hope to find more time to get blog posts up.
…
Life for me is pretty much mundane at the moment. It is all about work. I think you ought to just hit me already. I was told that I will end up single for my life and not finding the right soul mate if I keep on being such a workaholic as I am right now. Haha…
…
Okay, I’ve got nothing much to talk about now. Here is one picture that I like right now. My showroom. 
Talk soon…

Cher – You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me
Feb 15th
Watched Burlesque just a moment ago. Last similar movie I watched was Nine back in 2009.
I can say that Burlesque was brilliantly done. I can’t say that I am a good movie critic like many others out there, but if asked what would be about the movie I liked about, it would be the story line, music and choreography.
Not forgetting the brilliant vocal of Christina Aguilera and gosh… Cher still has the ooommphh! Plus, I don’t know why most movies/shows Eric Dane is in that I watch, he has to be an ass. Hahaha.
Let me not spoil the movie for those who haven’t watched it yet, as it was released since last November 2010 and now only in Malaysia this coming Thursday.
There is this song sang by Cher in the movie that I particularly like.
It’s the part where Tess (Cher) sang the song “You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me” on the way out of her club.
Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there’s just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I’ll get up again
Don’t count me out just yet
I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me
They can say that
I won’t stay around
But I’m gonna stand my ground
You’re not gonna stop me
You don’t know me
You don’t know who I am
Don’t count me out so fast
I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I’m down now
But i’ll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I’m gonna show you all what I’m made of
I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me
No no
I’m not going nowhere
I’m staying right here
Oh no
You won’t see me begging
I’m not taking my bow
Can’t stop me
It’s not the end
You haven’t seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me
Tell me you liked the song too. This song brings many meaning to me.
I’ve been pushed way to a breaking point that I had to struggle very much (which I still am) and to venture into a business of my own which is not an easy task given the financial support which was the main issue.
On a point where I would be most likely be spending time behind bars and times where financial institutions would profile me as “high risk”. These are all history.
Also on how I was being treated and taken advantage of when it comes to trust. Not only that, but in relationships with family friends and opposite gender.
Those are just a few of the many that I had to endure, but no, it will not stop me from going forward.
You haven’t seen the last of me, yet and I think you all should do the same to!

The Epilogue – Closing One Very Personal Chapter
Jan 16th
I guess, it has came to point that I would just want to recapitulate this one chapter of my life of recent happenings which probably some are unsure and some knows very well of it.
This shall be the epilogue to my previous similar post which is “10 to 3“.
In this Love & Relationship department, I am a person who enjoys companionate love more than a passionate love. Companionate love is more on affection, appreciation and companionship while passionate love is all exciting and intense.
You know in these whole love and relationship scenario they all call it “The Love Game“. So I thought I was doing my best (some disagree), well most of the time and all I wanna do is to get the best out of love. Then again, always the case is that I chooses the path that brings me pain because “stubborn” is my middle name. Probably also because I thought it was a piece of cake.
So, summary of the recent happening?
We both have separate need and wants and let’s just say in a very simple sentence that, we are not meant for each other. Maybe I wasn’t good enough that it all ended between us. Then, now the sentence I once said came true (click to read). Hence, I still will not have a Valentine’s Story to tell after all. Haha
I wanted a good ending, but then it came to a point that sometimes, I don’t even know what is going on. A simple conversation of two normal person can’t even be constructed. Probably, the issue is me all the while. I don’t know, maybe it was a good ending?
I was told “How nice if I can delete those memories… and don’t care anymore”. I ain’t that kind of person and I don’t understand how can other people do it, I just can’t. Probably because I am too nice of a person? I was asked also if hate would come in play, I said no. It is just not me.
At least I know that I did tried my best to make things work, cause it will be a biggest failure if I didn’t. Probably, what people say that sometimes, they are just not yours are just true.
I somehow like to put a relationship as equal to a song which comes in music and lyrics like how other people would equate their love in movies . If there is a song I would relate to, it would be none other than Justin Bieber – Eenie Meenie. I know right, of all artist, but then, it sound quite the appropriate right now.
After all, now all I can do is wish you a great companion to the other.
Hopefully in the near future, when I find The One, I can start planning a 248K wedding and start issuing wedding summons already.
PS: So many links and they are all under Love & Relationship category. Haha
