kelvin pestered me to read his blog.. when i first took a glance at his blog.. i was overwhelmed.

yes, i was seriously overwhelmed by the amount of info on stocks. and he is barely 20. who ever thought of a 20 year old dabbling with stocks?

as i was browsing.. what happens to be my fave entry is (obviously) something that i can understand... and i got the permission from him already.. gonna extract it here:

"I will dream big dreams and think tall

Very few people set goals too high. A man becomes what he wants to be when he thinks it all day long. So ask yourself this question now, "what do you really think you want to be in the future?". Do you wanna be successful, young and rich, or do you want to slog for the whole of your life trying to earn for everyday expenses?

Some of us do have the desire to be rich some day, but sadly to say the passion is always short-lived due to the fact that people don't know where to start, and most often than not they are too lazy.

I would say i have already found the starting point of my life, and my passion for my future. For a 20 year old, people may think that i'm still young for this fast-paced economic arena where somebody of more seniority than me may be bankrupt in any minute.

Fortunately, there will also be cases whereby you can find young millionaires living life at their fullest. Do you guys think that a 20 year old will be a success in this trading industry? You will not know what you will be expecting. Always expect the unexpected, always be prepared for the unforeseen. As the old stock market adage says "buy low, sell high", can i really do it? Well, its more for you to find out.

Live your life with a passion, with a goal, only then you will be motivated to reach for somewhere higher than the skies. I don't think i wanna buy a car in the future, i wanna buy a plane. Yes, and i want to be young and rich!"

i always thought he was just joking with me when he went on and on about stocks and what-not.. i always thought he was not serious with the serious books he borrowed from the library.. after reading (and in the midst of trying to understand) his blog, i think i realise, he is for real.

and i thought to myself.. shujuan, where do you see yourself heading in the next 5 years? 10 years?

question mark.

i realise i havent got the time to edit and upload pictures... and the pics are getting really outdated? gosh.. so ive decided to upload a few (without editing! which is quite sad..) before the pictures become ancient :)

me and weiee! :) after our haircut session at shunji matsuo.. a couple of months ago.. (gosh. my hair is getting unkempt again.. >_<)

~+~

think this pic was taken one day before i had the haircut.. according to many.. my hairstyle didnt change a bit, despite the highlight and all.. dot.. and that's a narcissistic guy who keep abusing my poor vs6. -__-;; well he kept pestering junie to help us take pics.. in the midst of our night shift. tsk tsk.

~+~

classic classic pic! the two girls' horror.. wearing the same top at the same time! we were trying to console ourselves and make this real silly day memorable.. lol.. we even went SHOPPING after work, in this top!.. no. obviously.. i wore my denim jacket over. i dun want to be seen as wearing some abnormal couple outfit?

~+~

i just love this pic.

oops.. been some time since i last updated my blog (again)..

~+~

well some recent drama in my life (not very dramatic actually):

1. my fave geeky specs broke! wth..

2. my reef bag is cui-ed.. which happens to be my fave too

3. my hp pouch is spoilt too!

what's with the recent trend of getting my fave stuff spoilt! rarr.

~+~

anyway, met up with poh poh and her "dar2" (...) jun kee to our fave optician. for a new pair of funky geeky specs of course. :)

~+~

shan't dwell much into my yet another horrific episode of inserting (?) misty grey contact lens into my eye.. not really exciting because our fave legendary cute guy was not around.. the following is the main stuff of this entry:

~+~

jun kee politely offered a ride home for me.. well at first i relented cuz it isnt so nice to have such a bright lightbulb sitting at the rear seat. but.. well.. since they insisted, i quietly tagged along behind :)

~+~

besides having to observe jun kee's car is merz and very new.. sitting at the rear seat does have lots of insights to this newly-formed (what's with my english) couple..

that new merz has nothing but bliss. really.

jun kee trying to control the steering wheel with his right hand..

his left holding poh's hand..

that's simple bliss :)

~+~

i never saw poh smiling and chirping away like this before..

i guess that's really love.

~+~

obviously this entry is dedicated to you and your "dar2" (yes i read ur blog)... congrats and stay really loving! :)

oh what the heck.

first day of school.
annoying assignment!

rarr.

i only had a pau so far. hurhur.

my last day at work... working night shift. 11-7am. bah. ive got around 2.5 hrs to the end.. pushing on.

~+~

sudden craving for macdonalds hotcakes plus sausage! urgh. i hate night hunger pangs.

~+~

ive developed mixed feelings to the end of work life. i'd miss the colleagues.. the lucrative pay.. the night card games.. and perhaps i'd miss talking to customers via headset (!!).. =)

nonetheless, i'd definitely want to have a break.. school's commencing soon! *roar* i just hate mugging.. stupid vicious cycle of exams and projs. crap. urgh! >_<

~+~

ive got lots of photos to upload.. but yeah. no time to edit. rest assure people.. my break is coming soon and there! time to post lots of pics! =) [but beware beware.. im getting a lil' narcissistic these days. =D ]

~+~

backtrack..

s310 gathering at marina square! kudos to hweelee, the group of us finally got to meet up after much procrastination. glad that everyone's doing really fine.. moving on with lives. =) that's when i realise we've grown up. (i tried to put my thoughts into words but its really.. un-describable.. if there's such a word) its yet another round of mixed feelings, somewhat conflicting.

za makeup class with jeraldine.. this is really fun la! learnt quite a bit from this class. e.g. the correct way to wash your face is to use the middle and the ring fingers ONLY and "scrub" the cheek and forehead area in a circular motion first, before moving onto smaller areas like the t-zone? using whole hand (which im sure everyone is guilty of this) will result in too much pressure onto the delicate face.

also, i finally learnt the correct method to curl nicey lashes! damn exciting! =)

the instructor taught us step-by-step from cleansing to the finishing glossy pout. we walked out of the class with a "technically-correct" makeup! woohoo! took loads of pics with jer. took more pics of myself. i am so narcissistic =D

mahjong session at mingshu's house.. didnt play much there. in fact, i only stand in for steven for one round. but fun nonetheless snapping photos (!!) and playing playstation with jer. wah lau. jer is damn high la. practically she won the rounds by screaming and feverish jamming any available keys -_- ..

lunch with fellow qbs and pat at lerk thai.. had a yummy treat! loved the tom yam soup (super shiok) red ruby and the steaming hot tapioca with coconut milk. damn nice. hmm.. on a softer note, wonder when will i get to see my fellow batch of qbs. altho the bulk are going to be in the same campus.. but i just wonder when will we get to meet up?

classic example is me and my dearest roomie. one in hss and the other in nbs PLUS the fact tt we live in the same room.. but we seldom get to see each other can. *sob*

shopping trips.. haha. got lots of zhan4 li4 pin3.. (e.g. i bought around 6-7 earrings already..) but im not satisfied! muaha.

alright alright. i know u are getting bored. let's stop here.. 1+ hr more to the end of work! yeah! =)

my last E8 shift! and tmr.. which is actually saturday.. would be my last last day working. =D thank goodness i survived working! true enough working has really honed my tolerance level sooo much. ive learnt to be kinder to people in the service line. be it a phone receptionist or a salesgirl. i try to treat all with a smile.. with a big thanks =) yes. ive learnt to appreciate all the little things people do for me.

~+~

what's in store for me is a meagre one week break. i dont care.. im gonna have funnnn!! =)

~+~

playing "fortune-telling" with jeraldine at this moment. you know, that sort of "guessing" how your future hubby would be like.. gauged on a basis of "love", "handsome", "rich" and "brainy".. yes, that sort of secondary school game. we are playing it now. lol..

to play the game, u got to shuffle the cards as many times as the age you want to get married. e.g. say i want to get married at the age of 40. so i shall shuffle 40 times.. and no, shujuan dont want to get married at 40. i wanted 30. but is it fate or what, no cards allowed tt. and it went up and up.. till 32. oops..

according to the readings, im suppose to have a very handsome (full score 12), quite love me (scale of 10), moderate level of intelligence and wealth (score of 5 each).

wow. i wonder how true can such a secondary school game be.

people people....

this is the legendary.

=D

i realise i have been trying to blog everytime im working 8-4am shift. and this would be my 3rd attempt to blog.. and i wonder whether i will ever be able to post this entry. past attempts told me that what im going to type is eventually going to be saved as draft. nonetheless, the night (or should i say morning) is young... so let me just try blogging.

~+~

been missing in action for eons. gosh. missing out on my entries? =) haha.. which i doubt so because my tag board is super quiet.. never mind.. its my fault.. frankly speaking i havent got the time to read your blogs.. yup.. sorry guys.

backtrack..

so far i should say this hols has been a roller coaster ride.

start of hols: been super bored? wasting money idling around. not contributing.. frantic job search

then..: i took on 2 jobs! one working shift duties in a bank.. the other as a hair color consultant! woohoo! (but haha, i was just a promoter in chim-er terms..) tiring, but fufilling. more exposed to the industries im interested in. and i got to meet many dynamic figures.. and learnt alot along the way.. knowledge and also patience..

made many friends along the way too! =)

moving on..

~+~

updates..

im going to stop work in end july.. which leave me 1 week or so to take a breather.. hope its enough.. and i hope i am prepared for the start of a new sem.. =/

great! im finally going to meet my jc ka-kis this coming saturday! cool... guys! fill me in with loads of stories! =D

and tada! i finally got my 3rd attempt, published! =)

it always take a heartbreak to make someone realise how important a special someone has made an impact in your life. often, its just a tad late. and that slight difference in time has robbed away my chance to tell someone she's been great.

yes, i can never tell her anymore.

she's gone. 19 years old. cruel cruel accident that could have been avoided.

how often do you flip the papers and empathise with the deceased or the victims?

how often do you actually know someone featured in the papers?

i tell you. the feeling is pure heartache..

i know i know.

ive been missing in action for eons.

sorry guys, been busy pia-ing for money.

i dont even have the time to edit photos to post here. sigh. apologies again.

put up this post to reassure u guys that im still breathing and alive :)

till the next time we meet again.
