Boring day overall, nothing much occured to me, didn't get to go out detail, nevertheless, it's our master chong's birthday, and sad to say, we had to bug her all the way with work related stuffs. no choice anyways.
Anyways, began reading more on the book of power!!!
Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions
Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.
When i read this up, it was very logical. It states that humans judge from appearances, and that they'll believe what their eyes see. So once you learn the art of concealing your true intentions within your heart and mind rather than your expression and looks, you'll very likely succeed in deceiving those around you.
Another states that humans are never good in controlling what they wanna say. Most usually end up revealing their true intentions, they believe honesty is always the best policy, but in fact, according to the book, brings doubt to people around you. I forgot how actually, but I do remember it's for a logical reason =p.
So my 2 cents worth? Thanks for this law to teach me so much. It just simply made me realize that there are certain people out there who are extremely dangerous because they are very good in concealing their true intentions. Gotta be careful around them i suppose.
These days, there's a chalet going on, that's extremely near my camp, good spot too. . can just camp around and WALK TO CAMP!! coooooooool
Stay posted for more POWER~~

Well, Monday Blues as per normal, not a very exciting day, but a pretty good one nevertheless.
Usual work hours, usual boring week, just that we started off the day pretty well, having an agreement with one of my friends to go buy Burger King breakfast early for ourselves and our master just before entering camp.
Slacked till lunch, master came back and suddenly felt so Da Fang, buy KFC for whole lot in store, she's mad. Buy 20 pieces zzzzz. Somemore when the whole lot of us eat our lunch rations in camp already, dunno later carls jr how to eat.
Well, got a night to look forward to, Bryne n GF, Tim n GF, Shaun n no GF, me GF-less, Master chong & her 2 children, thomas mah if he's coming. Not a bad crowd, sure got plenty of crap to talk about. Hope we have a good time tonight. (It's master's birthday tomorrow by the way)
Anyway, the 48 laws of power, Law number 2:
Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How To Use Enemies:
Be wary of friends -- they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
That's what law 2 states. I read the few examples in there, one of them stating somewhat like a king who has no experience who totally depended on his buddy to help him out. And he did, thus their bond further improved. The king started showering him with more gifts, royalty, trust etc. until he had power more than a king, and he ended up overthrowing him, killing him personally.
Law number 2 makes me feel one thing, if you live with that kind of thinking, you live in fear everyday. You have no trust in your friends, you do not trust a single soul, making you wary of everyone, you'll just die tired. With reference to their paragraph of description however, it is true that enemies can be trusted more than friends, because truly, they have more to prove.
Friends are difficult to maintain, in every situation. One minor argument can easily spark up a situation where they'll just fall out easily. Back to pride is what i'd say, but this relates more to political power again, so i guess i'm not in any position to be saying anything.
So i'll just say my 2 cents worth is. . . . Some things, you just have to do yourself. Whatever you can place your trust in, do believe in them, cause you can't live alone in this world.
Enemies are never fun to be having them around, you're always trying to avoid them, making the situation very awkward, furthermore whatever they do, you kinda get sensitive and start thinking they're talking gibberish about you?
Humankind, sheesh, why are we fighting against each other -.-

Well it's been a long while posting something, placing apart from the fact that i posted something that spread quickly like flames, thank god no one in Singapore has bugged me for that yet.
So what's going on is that I'm just going through a pretty rough life, realizing as time flies, that there is more to me than meets the eye. Not a good thing to say, but well, if there's one person hating you, I could easily say there's a problem with him. Now when everyone's hating you, something has got to be wrong with you, or so i realized.
So it turned out that after a few analysis of myself and other people, it came to me that my unforgiving nature was one of the bad points that contributed to me being boycotted around. 2nd point would be if i'm in a bad mood, i would normally just recklessly fuck people upside down without any consideration of their feelings, hence the nickname "Don't you realize, I've chased everyone else away"
It's not a good thing, but what the hell, it's happened, all i can do is probably, prevent it. Even though my heart still bears grudges for the many people around, I guess it's time, to do something about it, or just stay a loner, which ain't exactly a good idea.
I came upon this phrase also somewhere in who knows where "Live Naturally, Without any Selfish thoughts within" And i seriously thought "Is that frickin possible?"
Well i did try, I mean, fine I'm always thinking far off, being irritated easily by people who i do favours often for but never seem to get repaid for it, it became habitual soon enough. I'm still trying to think of being of assistance to people who i can help, but i've probably reached a level where i'm just made use of just cause I'm needed.
I mean, well, that's life, i guess. Even if u put it meanly, I could say I'm just making use of Shan to pour out my rubbish feelings towards? Even when i get people pouring complaints to me, I'm just over there thinking "Hey dood, I got my fair share of troubles, U think i'm interested in your shit?"
So one of the considerable improvements I've seen in myself is that i've taken up READING BOOKS, WITH NO PICTURES, YES!
The 48 Laws Of Power, Those who have heard of it, good 4 u, those who don't, it's basically 48 laws you needa know and master to get yourself to the top in the world of business n politics. In my blunt translation, this book should be called "48 Ways To Be A Fucked Up Dog"
Anyway my 2 cents worth to all the laws, I'll just read em when i have the time, so far I have 2 laws read up so i'll just share what my mind processes as the conclusion.
Law No 1. Never Outshine Your Master
The Phrase Says it all, even if you're more capable than your master, never make your boss feel inferior to you, or the results may be dire. This is pretty useful, more towards protecting your current status, it's a defensive measure so i have nothing against this. They just had this part where they tell u that if your master is collapsing then you should take the chance and rip him off his position, well, that's for the ruthless, I'll probably just sit by and watch him struggle, or lend a helping hand, If he's worth the helping hand.
47 more laws to go, this book doesn't really suit me, cause i'm not ruthless and not really the type to want to fight, I prefer submission and staying right at the bottom.
Anyway, good book nonetheless, since it teaches you about how the 48 laws works, and if someone were to really use it, as least you know what the situation's like, and probably detecting it would be fairly higher as well as being able to find a countermeasure quick enough to let the user dominate the situation, is what i feel at least.
Stay posted I guess. . . Till I Find A countermeasure, Since I Realize I Do Hate These kinda people.

Well, really dumb to be posting this, but anyways, prolly cause
1) No time to talk to u bout it when seeing you off
2) Too retarded, too shy and too embaressed to start talking about it
3) Just don't have the feeling to.
But it's a sooner or later thing anyway. Here goes anyway, "Dedicated to Shan"
Just wanted to let you know. That period you were back, I wouldn't say I was looking foward to it, knowing you were a busy fellar n all, but u did take much of your time hanging around with me. Like i always say "Thanks for your time".
After you left, I couldn't really say I wanted to cry, but I did feel weird, really weird. It was then I realized, you are already an important person in my heart, my most important companion. I couldn't be more honest with myself in front of you, I couldn't be more happy hearing your insults towards me knowing that they're either all truthful or plain bullshit. You brought me the most natural laughter that gave me the most stomach cramps for laughing too much. For that, I thank you.
I know many people have actually been talking about us being together, I dunno how you think towards it, and I don't really want to care. I just want you to know, please be back, I've said this before and I'll say it again. You're one of the unique few that's able to comfort people, cheer them up n all, you're one who is a true friend to many. You've got countless friends which just further reinforces the fact that you're a true friend. I dare say that you're the only one i fully confide in.
So here's my simple declaration once again, don't die before me, you're an important pillar to many in this world, and that includes me. For that, I'll swear once again to protect you with this life that you have very much brought happiness into.
Thanks for being my sister. And thanks for being so understanding.
