Words of wisdom - warren buffet

Read an interview with Mr Buffett, kept me thinking for awhile, summarized the geez of it..

Never let work keep you up at night, don't agonize over your mistakes it doesn't help, surround yourself with people that you trust and you'll do fine. Don't do just anything for money. Some people marry for money. That really does not make sense when you have more money.

Investing is like playing baseball, never make hasty decisions, You can sit at the plate and wait as long as you like.

To be a leader, focus is very important. The ability to get people to march. It takes the projection of confidence. You are asking people to trust you. Ask yourself who you would trust and make a role model outta him.

Sometimes, life directs you where to go, some things just can't be determined by sheer human willpower, its a combination of many factors, everyone has his or her station. If buffett was born in Bangladesh things would be different, but he was born in the U.S. where allocating capital is extremely important. so basically he was just picking off crumbs off the table as he puts it. Just do you best in what you do, craving for the unattainable will get you nowhere.

If i could do one thing over again, i wouldn't have choosen any one thing, but rather, i would have chosen to think more before i did anything.

If there's any one thing that intrigues you and you feel a strongly compelled to do it, don't wait, never wait for a chance to embark on your passion, pursue it fervently. If not, it'd be like saving up sex for old age, which would be a pretty stupid thing to do.

I would determine people who would run my business by their passion for it. I look for people who would rather run the business than do anything else in life. That is what is going through my mind. They have to prefer going to work over everything else. They have to love the business more than they love money.

Well, just some food for thought, i think his wisdom doesn't really lie in his investment advice or business sense, but rather his way of life.I believe that the richest people on earth are the ones actually the only few who aren't blinded by wealth, rather, they pursue passion and life itself. Maybe having all the riches in the world gives them the privilege to see things in a different light.

I once read this somewhere and it made hell alot of sense to me

It isn't the burdens of Today that drive men mad.
It is the Regrets over Yesterday and the Fear of Tommorow.
Regrets and Fear are twin thieves who rob us of Today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.
Instead climb more mountains, eat more ice cream,
go barefoot more often
swim more rivers, watch more sunsets
Laugh more, Cry less
Learn to treasure today as if there's no tomorrow
And learn to cherish the thought of tomorrow as if today didn't happen.

Newton predicted the end of the world to come in 2060, no one knows actually when this life will come to an end, But just know that we only live once, so live it well.

I think im being bored outta my life, stuck at home for the past 48 hrs, injured my leg AGAIN, don't seem to understand why its so prone to injury... Z.zZ.Zz.. nevermind, at least i got my new keyboard, those wu sim one, pls come visit, i'll be stuck at home for at least another 1-2 days

Time of your life

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.


Had a fun time tdy, gong came down, we planned for a dinner at suntec, but being the pigs we are, we settled for pizza + KFC at home whilst watching 公主小妹, had a great time, haven't felt this way in a long time.

Maybe sometimes life really isn't about the number of breaths that you take, but rather the number of moments that take your breath away, it's not about how tough the going gets or how smooth the flow of events, but rather the kind of fulfilment you get, and the bits and pieces of memories that makes it all worthwhile. So still frames in your minds ,Hang it on a shelf, in good health and good time, tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial,For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable,but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life. That's what life is about.

公主小妹 was a really nice show, i can't really figure out what makes up it's charm, maybe people live their fantasies through such shows, maybe its the only place ordinary guys like you and me can get a little reprieve from the cruel world. Maybe even if you can't live it up, it's good enough to see beautiful people live it up in the frames of a virtual world so disparate from ours. Last point to add.. zhang shao han has miraculously become chio in the show! SOOOOO CHIO! i think i'm starting like her... maybe entering character can make alot of difference

Covering up

Sometimes in an attempt to cover up your hideousness, you magnify the magnitude of it. Beauty manifests when you least expect it.

step 2, back to step 1

The cycle of life,

Step 1 : Work hard earn money
Step 2 : Revert to step 1

The demon of desire

Weird isn't it, sometimes, you seem to feel a sudden sense of despair without any apparent reason, somehow you feel as if they world has left you behind. That's the demon of desire. It's a syndrome unique to urban jungles, where ferraris and zondas roam the land, where sky scrapers and million dollar mansions root the earth, where pimp my ride's the hottest show in town.Its as though god made the world to be equal, but this disparity of wealth is driving the sanity out of your head. Maybe.. humans are just built this way, feelings and desires are made to be out of mundane control. That's why the its said that humans are born into this world to suffer, to suffer from worldy desires.

Just like what shixiong says, it would be probably better if we were born in the mountains, where there's less exposure, you wouldn't be plagued by such secular matters, ignorance is bliss, what you don't know of, you don't need. Humanity will never be able to attain contentment as long as jealousy is at work. What others have, you want it too. As per what shixiong said, when you are renting, you just yearn for a home to call your own, when you have a house, you yearn for a villa. When you don't have a girlfriend, you just hope to have someone by your side, but when you finally have one, you want Miss Asia, and when you have miss asia, again you yearn for Miss World.

Its a vicious cycle, but nevertheless, although feelings are not within our control, we can help ourselves by focusing on today, the things in front of us, by giving your best to spend each day as happily as possible, that way, life would be less agonizing.

Sugar and spice

1) Life is made up of sugar and spice, spicy enough to make you remember its sweetness

2) Ignorance is bliss

3) Underachieving means that you are less prone to losing what you have attained

4) Its all about learning how to balance life, like a gum.. Hard enough to keep its shape, Soft enough to give you a tangy elastic feeling.

5) Alone time is very important

6) I'm very very very very very gay

There was once a guy who slogged all his life, he finally made it rich, he had lost his family to work, no friends to speak of, but heck, he had money. He decided that he had enough money to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of his life. So he moved to a small fishing town, he built the biggest most extragavant house in the vicinity. Beside him lived a fisherman in a modest cottage, everyday, he would sit by his window in the evening and look below at the fisherman taking a break looking at the sunset. One day, out of curiosity, the fisherman asked him "Hey, what do you do everyday? Why do you spy on me everyday?" He replied "I worked my whole life to achieve what i have now, I dont have time to spy on you, i like to fish all day and enjoy the beautiful sun set beyond the horizon in the evening before i end my day with a nice quiet dinner at home. Before he could finish the sentence, a gentle voice sounded out to the fisherman "Dear, its time to go home with your catch, i'm cooking your favourite dish tonight"

the gay me

Yes... i'm ripping things off your blog again... please bite me...


I think its been a long time since i've been in touch with my gay self.... life's been so hectic these days i hardly have time for a breather, been to quite a few places lately... although most of the time... i return without anything to answer for.. germany was extremely cold.. and everyday spent there was a pain in the ass.. although i do enjoy the morning strolls to the messe... koln in indeed a fine town except for the fact that you could die of boredom there. Holland was a fine place... lots of weed, lots of space cake and lots of naked girls parading in front of windows... sometimes i do wonder how this rampant whoring culture came about... maybe its because rotterdam has so many sailors docking by who hasn't seen a female sex organ in like a year or so... if you didn't realise, most major ports in the world has a legal sex industry.... including singapore.

Vietnam was nice too... life is simple... sometimes if you think about it... you slog all your life in order to lead a simple life when you are old... haha.. the irony... going to jarkata next week... i think im spending more time in hotels than at home...

went through some old posts today... felt as if i travelled through time... back to the past where it all seemed better.. Its always better when its over.. a phrase often used in the army... it didn't make much sense to me then.. but it does now...

Bei shang de cai gou - by my little airport

订了一季又到下季
为何人大了就要成为 工作的奴隶
最爱作的不可发挥

我的感觉逐渐流逝...

从前曾話过要如何 欣赏世界的美丽，
现在只懂得放假去消费。

如果继续这样 我还是我吗?
我还喜欢我吗?
或者我应该死去吧... 总好过变得更差...

如果繼續這樣 你还愿意吗? 和我奏着结他?

日子不应该这样吧 而现实就是这样可怕。

I dreamt of a talking dog who studied in NUS school of arts that pwned me, i'm stealing songs and lyrics from other blogs and i'm drooling in the office half asleep.. what's next?

My hero

I salute the man who wrote this, you who dares venture where no man ventured before, you are my hero! I hope you are still alive to see this....


I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much.

And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her.

We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."

We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck.
I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?"

I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added,"Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that *^$@! knows I'm smarter than her.
