Relationship is Tough

Posted by danielctw On March - 6 - 2008

What makes a relationship so easy? So you think being in a relationship is easy eh? Well, with the story lines of fairy tale stories and also with Japanese mangas and animes spoiling our thoughts all on relationships. Sad to say, all the happy endings that one see in comics, fairy tales doesn’t apply at all, and being in a relationship is not all about being lovey dovey and how nice to meet with each another.

Well, if you’re reading this and still in the studying stage, you might not agree with me, as you love company and the feeling of having someone alongside you. But but but… times change, and suddenly one day you’re out there working your ass off, trying to gain that extra moolah (money) for the benefit of your usefulness. Then in the relationship, not everything is as easy as it seems. This time being in a relationship is not about being lovey dovey and go out to super class dinners, etc. One have to be concerned about the other party as to whether this is the person who one can rely to be the lifetime partner.

There are people who contradict with me, saying, well time might change a person, but if that person has always been saying that ever since they are single and in the same relationship, I wonder if it will ever work. Take for example, how many of you have ever fulfilled some of the New Year resolutions, always wanted to learn something or achieve something which is possible but then took the long long time and some don’t even do anything about it.

Now why is relationship tough?
Now let me break down in simple simple sentences.

It is tough because you care for the relationship to grow and not just let bygones be bygones. You want the relationship to succeed, and in order to achieve that, both must have a goal for that relationship.

It is tough because taking into account your financial and status, everything in this world come at a price. You can’t expect next time to be a full time house wife(female) if the financial security isn’t enough. Don’t just wished for it, think about it instead.

It is tough because when in a relationship, people tend to overlook the little things that might affect them due to all the love they receive that when they realised it too late, love on it’s own is not going to help in sustaining the physical and material needs of a successful relationship.

Guessed time changes everything. Now we’re living in a city, a city, a metropolitan to some, of course, the cost also will increase. So it’s the truth and cruel world out there. So now you know, what can you do then. I’ve taken my step to ensure that I am well equipped in the mean time, what about you :)

Regret Not for Wanting Not

Posted by danielctw On February - 19 - 2008
I’ve Known You For So Long
Suddenly Feeling No Where To Belong
Lost that Feeling When You Came Along
I guessed it’s Farewell All Day Long

You know, I have a hefty scenario here, which I would think might interest a few people here. Well, it’s time for me to talk about relationships again. haaa… you didn’t know it? I love to blog about this topic and try to get public’s thought about it. Besides it’s fun to learn and share with each another.

Well, I am sure some of you have this predicament during those years, that either you’ve made a slow decision or one waited too long.. Still don’t get it, basically one regrets and looks back at the time if only I had made the move, then I wouldn’t have to sit and think back all the time one wasted during those years. This is one I heard from someone during my college years. This is what she said when I finally messaged her through ICQ (yeah.. I live in the ICQ age).

“How come now only you’ve contacted me? If only you were that bold last time!!”

Okay.. I was sweating. Imagine this, I actually did fall for her during high school years, but those days.. I was never meant to pursue in a relationship. In a way, this experience has given me a little bit impression of how important it is to be bold in one’s decision. Sadly, sometimes it doesn’t always work and listening to what one had learn previously.

Since I am so nice this time, how about I give you a scenario. Debate if you like, but I would like to hear your opinions.

A guy (let’s call him Jim) was someone who had a fun single life. Though one day, he met someone who he fell for which was a girl , (call her Eve). Both of them met in a group gathering, (which usually how it all started) and slowly Jim developed feelings for Eve. But you see, Jim had trouble approaching until one fine day he decided enough is enough.. he will approach her and tell Eve how he felt. (“happy right??”)

The story doesn’t end here though. Just when he thought the day was right, Jim had it all planned out to go meet Eve the following week, he was shocked to hear someone came ahead of him a few days earlier and that person is together with Eve. Okay… Jim was suddenly feeling all awkward and all plans failed.

So now, the question to you guys/gals. What should Jim do???

Fuhhhhh… finally wrote something longer. Oh yeah… if you wanted it to be more dramatic and just love to put me in the scenario, then just substitute Jim with me and Eve with Jolin :D HAHAAHHAA!!! Fake OK!!

When You’re Down

Posted by danielctw On February - 9 - 2008

You will feel down, when you think the world around you is crumbling. You felt that whatever you do, there’s always something which makes it like you did a big mistake. You also ponder as to why am I here? Why is it that I can’t find peace. Where am I? Do I exist merely to live and then die.

Most of us has all these thoughts or somehow someway thought of it before. Well, it’s perfectly natural. I sometimes wonder, why all the fuss to work my ass off to succeed in something and go under remote superbly crazy stress under your employer when one can take life easy. Yes, here’s another thought…. taking life easy when you’re single is alright, but if you’re married, you got an aim, which is to strive to ensure happiness for the future ones (child) living style. In a way, people live because they need an aim, people work because they also have an aim.

My aim now is to make myself look good physically. Although my mum too keeps calling me to find ‘someone’, parents will always be parents. Well, that’s the reason for being the eldest. Dang…. saying I am not young anymore.. :( *cham*

Live in Motion

Posted by danielctw On January - 23 - 2008

 

Happy Thaipusam to those celebrating it!!

It’s now the mid of January 2008! Look see look see, the time pass by so fast. Now looking back from year 2007, we’re now in 2008, life passes by so fast, we just think how it all passes. Like we’re living in a fast forward world.Come to think of it, life to me has been pretty awkward, going up and down. When there are times that I have been down, I have friends who sends sms greetings to cheer me up, which I greatly appreciate. Well, guess that’s what friends are for eh…. So now this is another motivational article by Daniel!

Life Moving Fast

We all kinda know that in life, we need something, someone to hold back, like to support us. Although some people can survived on self motivation, it just doesn’t seem to be complete. Take sports, people strive for glory with the motivation coming from within, but in every sports there are fans cheering them onward. That gives the motivation factor a boost.

Another scenario, if you’re working then you spend lots of time to finish a pending task and after you’ve done it, you’re satisfied with it. Yes, self satisfaction is fun, but let’s say your boss comes in and gives you a pat in the back or an encouragement word saying, “you’ve done a great job, nice work!“. Now tell me you wouldn’t take it as a motivational factor. Like said, live is not motionless, something else can drive us further to pursue onward. Now if my boss said that to me, I think I will carry on working with a better perspective on the job. As a matter of fact, humans are easily pleased when it comes to this.

But of course, if you really think no one’s supporting you, you can also take my other option which is talking to Elmo. I am sure Elmo will be happy to listen to what you have to say! So don’t be sad to say nothing motivates someone to live on their life.

Relax in Redang

Or if you just don’t want to see all this, just reward yourself with a rest in an island, maybe Redang Island.

Beautiful Figure

Posted by danielctw On December - 6 - 2007

Sometimes people take so much pain to be beautiful that they don’t mind going to the extreme to achieve something. I say it’s bound to happen when one wants to be beautiful or pretty. It’s the same almost everywhere too. Likewise, we all should be proud of ourselves for what we achieve. What I meant is that, be it we’re thin, muscular, fat, chubby, we should appreciate ourselves. We all want to be as beautiful figure as well.

Many people felt demoralized when they heard people calling them fat or too thin (well some find the too thin calling as a compliment though). Well, don’t be. You should be high in morale instead as it’s a motivation to improve oneself further. Imagine if no one call u thin or fat, then you’ll be just off your way thinking that I am perfectly alright. Ok, people call me thin and guess what I did, I am trying to gain weight as much as possible. But I don’t want to gain fats, I wanna gain muscle mass. That’s the way.. a-hah a-hah.

But there are certain people who thinks nothing about it and just ignore the remarks of people. These people are what we call as lazy. Well, I’ll be harsh but then it’s what it is. You’re thin, but you think yourself as perfect and don’t bother others. Either you’re one egoistic person or you just can’t lose or rather you have thick skin. Must be hard being working under you if you were the boss of a company.

I guessed I have very limited time to put any pictures on this post as I am still in the office right now. Tonight, there will be pictures of my previous trips and food hunting session.
