Haiz...Haiz.. Sometimes in my mind i really think whether i should give up or not despite all the failures and obstacles that i faced.. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that i already wanted to give up.. A few reasons behind this.
First, in VE, people there are very friendly and helpful, and whenever i'm feeling down, they would be there to console me, to talk to me, especially my BGM Mr Alex Wong. A few days back during fixing SA in office, i did not managed to successfully fix it with 1 of my relative.. Instead, i somehow got scolded from him.. I felt quite disappointed and upset about it.. When Mr Alex saw my disappointment face, he came to me and console me. Throughout the conversation between Mr Alex and me, I managed to learn something from him, which is very good because i managed to learn a lot of things from him, and I felt much more better after he talked to me. ;-)
Second, my upline and especially my Red Lion team people, they have actually helped me and guided me along ever since i joined VE, and i must tell myself that i won't let them down and make their efforts gone down to waste. Since i'm given this opportunity to prove myself, i will go for it and do my very best to achieve what i want in my life. I must remember 1 thing, which is that failure is only when i have given up completely, and NOT when i make mistakes or whatsoever..
Yesterday (Sunday) is Rachel's birthday, and we managed to celebrate her birthday with her and her mum, and congrats Lay Teng for being able to close 1 carton of Cal Water bottles, and also Pinky(this is wat i addressed her as) for being promoted to Marketing Agent (MA), which is a good achievement and good start for her.. ;-)
Okie.. I will write till here le ba.. My lesson gonna start le.. Will update when i'm free or when i ever feel like writing.. ;-)

Hmm.. About 1 month in VE..Hmm.. It has been about 1 month ever since i joined VE.. Now i'm still a MA(P), and i aim by the end of this month, i will be promoted to at least a MA or ME position. Throughout this 1 month ++, i faced countless obstacles, difficulties and objections from some of my relatives, friends and family.. Nevertheless, i will do my best to overcome all these problems and i will be constantly remind myself that i must not give up no matter what. Of course, i should not also neglected my studies because of this thing..
Later on at around 6pm ++, i will be going up to 1 of my primary/secondary school friend's house to visit him and his parents for a SA and at the same time also spend this time to chat more with them and his mum also preparing dinner for us.. Hope that tonight i will be able to benefit them at least with something.. ;)
Till then, i will stop writing here for now le.. Now still school time ;)

Hmm.. To change or not to change poly?Hmm.. It has been for quite some time for me studying in Republic Polytechnic(RP) le.. There's 1 thing which came to my mind that i wish to say it out in my blog: "To change or not to change poly?"
Hmm what really makes me to have this mindset to change poly is that 1st year in RP i learn things that are not related to my course, which is Diploma in Business Computing.. It's like for other 4 polytechnics, their 1st year is already about their own course le, but for mine, it's very super different. In RP, we learn these 5 common module. They are "Cognitive Processes and Problem Solving", "Basic Sciences", "Introduction to Communication Practice", "Enterprise Skills", and "Computing and Mathematical Methods". So far, to be truthful, i only find the communication and the Enterprise thing useful to me.. Even my CCA or in RP what we called the IG, i also join EMIG, which is Enterprise Marketer Interest Group. To be truthful, i will only be able to gain more knowledge and experiences when i have that interest, for this case is Business and Marketing..
But then to think back again what 1 of my classmate, Shirley, had said to me through MSN, i will re-consider whether i still want to change polytechnic or not..
Hmm.. Till then, i write till here le.. ;)

It's already close to 3 weeks in VE le..Hmm.. I've been in VE for about 3 weeks le.. This few days very busy with some activities.. Later on in the Saturday morning (8 July 2006), i will be going for a "House of Red" Sentosa outing.. To have fun and enjoy our day there with a lot of games and activities going on.. So.. Hope the day will be a extremely good one.. ;-) After this whole activity, my parents are going to bring me in the night to buy my formal wear for this coming Wednesday's seminar which i'm looking forward to this event.
This coming Sunday will be my 1st relative appointment.. got 1 is 2pm, 1 is 5pm, and the last one is 8pm.. So i shall see how the day goes when the day comes ;-) Again, main thing is to enable them to understand more about our products, and maybe also some extra knowledge related to health.. If let say they really wish to buy any of the products, i will be even much more happier because they are the 1st one to use our company's products and i will really like to see the positive effects after they comsume our products.. ;-) So as to prove to me that this is 100% + 1% effective and also to boost up my confidence in terms of product wise.. ;-) Seriously, if i have a lot of capital, i will really like to benefit a lot a lot of people.. But.... i'm not a rich guy, so.... :P
Coming to school work, yesterday's performance (Friday, 7 July 2006) was a very disappointing one for me.. First of all, i did not really put in a lot of effort for the assignment that were given to us.. Moreover, i can say this is the first time that i only had my breakfast and then don't eat/drink anything until in the evening where i at least managed to grab some bites of the Famous Amos chocolate cookies and a bottle of Gui Hua that drink.. and my 2nd meal for yesterday will be a 3-in-1 one where i would say i combined lunch/dinner/supper together, at a 24 hours food court near my house... So... In the end, i reached Bt Panjang at 12am, and reached home at about 12:25am after i had finish my lunch/dinner/supper.. :-( Argh.. What's over means over le.. No point keep on thinking back of unhappy things of the past le, like that will only make me feel more depressed each day.. I have learned my lesson/mistakes and will continue to move on in my both school and personal life.. As what i might have mentioned last time, the life journey for most (or in fact ALL?) of us here is never always smooth.. Yes.. I may have faced a lot of obstacles and difficulties in the past, (especially since when i was still in my Sec 4 days... Year 2004) but eventually, i did managed to conquer at least some or most of the obstacles and difficulties.. I believe that now, in year 2006, in the month of July, i can also do the same thing... ;-) After this whole month of July, then i shall reflect back and see what positive/negative things i had done/achieved so far and do a self evaluation/reflection.. ;-)
Okie.. I shall end this entry here.. Will update more whenever i am free... ;-)

A New Start, A New Challenge AheadOkie.. Well, enough of all my previous entries.. I'm going to leave it aside..
These few weeks/months, i have been getting along well with my poly mates.. Last Saturday just had a soccer session with Yan Hui, Jun Jie, Haris & Johann at Bishan Park, which i think was a memorable one for me.. [How nice if i also live around Bishan area because of the evening scenery across the large patch of field at Bishan Park 1..]
Okie.. Coming back to this entry's topic, i'm going to talk about my current job. (Don't worry, i am still schooling in Republic Polytechnic, not a school leaver)
Currently, I am working in this company called "Venture Era". I was brought in by 1 of my EMIG (Enterprise Marketer Interest Group) friends, his name is Mike. First of all, i would like to thank him for bringing me in there, and to extend this good opportunity to me. Over there, i learned quite a lot of things from the people there, be it about the products, character building, etc.. The environment over there is far different from other companies. For this company, it comprises of mainly people of our this kind of age. When i first stepped in there, i was initially shocked to know that my upline, Mr Wei Chiang, was only 18 years old, but then as time goes on, i found out that most of the younger MM (Marketing Manager) are around my age also.. If they can make it to this kind of position, why not i give it a try? (Like what others always said "try try onli lo..")
This time round, i'm going to prove my parents wrong that actually i'm not those who work till halfway and then decides to quit or give up. (In chinese is called 三分钟热度) What for i give up where i can learn a lot of things from there, and also getting to know more people there and socialise with them? This kind of "rare" opportunity i couldn't just possibility let go just like that. Yes, as what my parents and some of my other friends had told me, this kind of job is those which are very hard to earn $$$ one, and my parents also have a lot of other negative comments which can make me feel demoralised, BUT, does it mean that i can't take up this kind of "tough" job (or i would rather say it's business because i don't work for other people)? does it mean that i cannot accept and overcome these "tough" obstacles? Does it mean that i can't accept and faced this "tough" challenge? So what if all these things are "tough" to me? Does "tough" this word mean that i cannot do anything? Answer is absolutely NO!! It's only up to the person itself whether he/she wants to do it or not? Ultimately, the final choice lies with the person itself.
As for now, my target is by this coming seminar, at least i should be in either MA(Marketing Agent) or ME(Marketing Executive) position, or if not, the slowest one also by the end of this coming July, to obtain a ME position. ;) Shall update here more when i am free again.. Meanwhile i will tidy up my stuffs and prepare for the World Cup match later (Portugal vs France).. Shall end my entry here for now le.. ;)
