An ex colleague of mine have been convincing me again and again to buy a car. Just recently, he became a proud owner of a Honda Jazz and have been giving alllllll sorts of positive remarks about his new toy.
I started off the conversation by saying..."actually Jazz looks quite good in Red". His is black. So he goes one with "It's a good car....blah blah blah". If you have the money go for it.....there's more value added to your lifestyle other than $. To ease my curiousity, I asked how much u need to set aside each month for that toy.........S$1500 incl EVERYTHING!!! My goodness!!! That is way too much!! 1500x12 = 18000 p/year leh!!! Seriously speaking, I would rather spend that sum of money for an exotic vacation loh...
Maybe..........I'll consider when:
1) Car and COE prices drops tremendously
2) I have 1500 or more increment in my salary
3) I have extra extra $ dunno where to spent.....:) very very unlikely lah....
I have started speaking in cantonese eversince I started talking. Yes, you would have knew it...tat's when I'm about 1-2 years old I guess. And I always consider myself FLUENT in the language BUT believe me......it has NEVER been soooooo difficult for me to speak this language this morning.
I was speaking to a customer who is in Hong Kong about some issue he is encountering in our product. I greeted him in Cantonese and we started off the conversation pretty well. It goes on until it came to a point where I have to give him technical instruction. I'm lost!!! How to say "click" in cantonese ah? How to say "logs" ah? I started to panic and tongue tide and all of a sudden, I can't even speak a proper sentence in cantonse. I ended up with English+Cantonese in all my sentence. Muahahahaha....Thank goodness he understand what I'm talking about.....
Silly me......I think I shall stick to pure English next time....Haiz.........
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 101%? So..... what equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that will help you answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then :H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% BUT
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% AND,
Look how far the 'love of God' will take you.....
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will help get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
Cheers :)
