Thank you for loving me. Birthday 2013.

As much as I hate to throw myself a party for my birthday,  I really enjoyed the parties I gotten this year. I felt so much love over and over in a weeks time. Not only did I feel love but also very tired. I guess I'm really out  of "touch" with back to back parties. I felt like I got crash by a car, a train and maybe even a plane this morning when i was trying to get out of my bed.

Party Number 1.

The birthday drinking started as early as 27th of June with my One-Two Punch Daniel and Wifey at Shuffle. It was an awesome place with nice live band and beer! It was surely a good party!

Party Number 2.

Saturday evening with the wifey. Bringing her to watch Silver Ang's Fourlies. It was pretty awesome play. I thought Silver might be actually better in play because of the dramatic actions and "siao char bor" - ness as compared to TV! Really enjoyed her part in the play Fourlies.

Party Number 3.

Dinner with BR man and Keong on Sunday. Really happy that BR actually organized this simple Sunday dinner and buying me a cupcake and dinner! Although we don't meetup often but it's really sweet of him to remember my birthday.

Party Number 4.

Dinner with my traveling Pen Pal Joy. It's funny how we always forget to take pictures when we meet up but it's always good catch up with her. We are like people from two different world but we click just like that. It's always comforting talking to her. The only picture I had of the dinner meetup was the dinner she got for me. Hello and Good bye. LOL.

Party Number 5.

Nothing beats family time with the folks! Lots of fun and laughter at home where I get to meet the old and young. Special birthday cake surprise from the wifey! So much love! The girls actually did some handy craft for me and my sis in law got me a pouch for running! Can't wait to run in it!

Party Number 6.

With technology like Facebook, the cyber "party" can get pretty fun and interesting. I had like close to a collective 300 wishes on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. (wish actually hanged my phone.) Thanks everyone and sorry I can't feature everybody and the wishes are well received and appreciated!

Party Number 7.

So people was asking me why I didn't take birthday leave off work on my birthday and my answer was simple, because I love my colleagues and I wanna celebrate with them too! The best feeling in an office is when you feel love! They actually got me out for surprise lunch. Normally I would have see it coming but frankly I didn't cause Eunice is just a lazy lunch person and we lunch in all the time. I actually got my own food in the fridge that day.

Party Number 8.

So it's finally Friday night and it was drinking night with Daniel, his Gf Grace and my Office Gf Eunice. It was fun and full of surprises at Timbre. I was surprise the crowd die off before 12 at Timbre Gillman. HAHA. And the surprise Apple Crumble from Daniel! Really touched that my friends always celebrate my birthday in style! (And with alcohol.)

Party Number 9.

The last and final celebration with my old time friend Keong, and my sister and wife. Keong treated us to this place call the The Escape Artist. 

 
We all remember the game "Crimson Room" where you get stuck in a room and you have to find clues and all to escape and this time round it's not just virtual but real life game. It's really fun actually. Just that it's also at a really ulu place. HAHA. The game is really smart as it's not too difficult and not too easy and will keep you engaged and feel like playing it again. The guy who came out with this must be a genius in crime. We ended the day at Coastal Settlement again for dinner and we were so hungry we didn't take ANY picture. :x

Thank You.

It was really tiring running around and sleeping late and no "me-time" at home with the animals but it was really fun! I really feel the love. Thank you everyone! Thank you!

Mr Johnnie kept walking..Mr. Smith kept blogging - Post #500 !!

Wooo !!! This is my post #500..

Man.. i dun believe i blog so far with all my crappy and lame writing..

so what shld i blog about to commemorate this event ? Since we are on the topic on how did I come so far to post no. 500.. let's talk about "Motivation". Not exactly the kinda celebration post i suppose but i thought it can be something i like to talk about and to share with my readers.

At this point of time, i must disclaim that there is not going to be any picture, any good food or game review and no sex no cleavage.. it's just going to be words.. since that is the mother of diary writing and blogging in my case.

Many people around me ask me, "Smith, u are always so positive..you are driven and passionate about everything u are doing..what's ur secret ? "

I believe i have shared with some of the peeps how i do it.. It's seriously all in the mind..When i was in the army some call me OCS some call me motivator.. i dunno about u guys but i talk to myself very often..( In my head.. not out loud ). There are a few things which always runs in my head when i meet challenges and difficulty, but of course it's not a 100% sure work thing..I still get into EMO mood and feel down once in a while.. (Comon..give it to me man.. even condom ain't 100%.)

Some of few sentence are as follow :

- If every father mother son can do it.. so can i (This really bring me pass army)

- Nv, I mean NV compare.. ( Seriously it hurts when u compare.. )

- Look on the bright side !! ( This is pretty a in depth topic..shall talk in another paragraph on how we do it )

- Smith rocks and u suck _|_ ( just copy.. backspace my name.. fill in my name and u can use it.. yes.. i am so into this and u can't replace it w ur name.. haha = p )

- It's _____ soon..hang on ! ( This is one fun element which keeps me moving too.. this is the basics of motivation..shall talk about it in details too.. )

- I am happy cause i did _____ ( this is the basic of being confident.. be happy w what u have and what u have done.. always give urself a pat on the shoulder..if u can't do that.. at least get someone to do it to u.. share what u done in a day work w closer friend.. this is important.. cause if ur friend is not close enough.. u might sound very much like u are boasting or wat we call "Hao lian" )

So you see.. we have to keep ourselves moving.. the world moves on without u, u see.. so u dun sit down and make noise and hoping things get better.. if u dun help urself.. no one can..

So how does the "look on the bright side" works ?? This is a damm bloody simple and dimwitted method to make myself feel better, but it works for me.. I can't out with this while i was in the army.. pple make noise about guard duty.. pple make noise abt chinup pple make noise abt simply everything.. but for me.. i appreciate everything..erm.. almost.. less some of my OC's lousy decision..

let me give u an example for easy understanding..

If u kenna guardduty - u kbkp

If I kenna guardduty - i say heng ah.. at least not on nites out nite

If u kenna guardduty on nites out nite - u kbkp

if I kenna guardduty on nites out nite - at least not on friday nite

if u kenna guardduty on friday nite - u kbkp

if I kenna guardduty on friday nite - at least not on weekend full day

if u kenna guardduty on weekend - u kbkp

if I kenna guardduty on weekend - at least it is only ONE weekend

i suppose by now u already get the drift of this thing.. it's just THAT simple.. telling myself it could have been worst and it makes me feel better already.. stupid u say ? it makes me a more positive and happy person..

it's ____ Soon - the basic motivation.. setting short term goals..

I set

4 goals a day for myself

3 additional goals per week

1 additional goals per month

1 additional goal per year

What are the very simple goals ?

4 goals a day -

Lunch Time, Knock Time, Home to see love ones, sex ( no.. i dun get it everyday.. but i hope i do.. so is consider a goal too.. u set them doesnt means it will happen )

See.. it's just as simple as setting something to make u look forward and work towards.. but of course dun make urself damm nuan and just look forward lah..remember.. it's all in ur mind..

3 additonal goals per week -

Meeting my little natnat and abby, playing my weekly basketball game, spending time with my dumdum. ( other than work, get something to let urself relax.. for me it's family, love ones and my passion.. sports )

1 additional goals per month -

not obvious enuff ?? PAY DAY !!!

1 additional goal per year -

Nothing else but the bonus !!

but of course i believe alot pple do this.. but in a more highend way.. meaning u guys start to loose the part of u where u appreciate little happiness.. u guys set bigger goals "Europe trip by dec" "Birthday party coming march" I mean yeah.. all this works u know.. but it's kinda far ? and every now and then u drop out or worst still once it's over u feel worst den 0.. u are like negative.. so have some consistent goals which always happen and still appreciate their importance..

bottomline is that we dun need to move slow in order to move far.. but we have to keep moving in order to be somewhere..

I hope u guys find this useful and enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy typing.. I know there must be some typo or grammar or lousy pharsing somewhere or everywhere but comon man.. appreciate this.. i didn't do draft u know ?
