<p>When I checked my last post, it was posted about 20 days ago!! Whoa!! Got so long meh?!! Hahaha&#8230;</p>
<p>Paiseh la I was so hooked up with so much things especially the planning for the Taiwan trip I&#8217;m currently in!! Yea!! I&#8217;m blogging LIVE all the way from the city of Taipei! Almost becoming a Taiwanese today!! =.=&#8221; How?! You can check my friend&#8217;s post here on that particular experience (<a href="http://kaillery.blogspot.com/2010/02/0_8624.html">Kaito</a>). So crazy you know?!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b352/BooNBoX/taiwan%20blog/DSC_0136.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>For those who didn&#8217;t follow up with me, (yes! I do have friends that their mouth open big big when I told them I won the best trip competition that had already happened for almost 3 months ago) I am in Taiwan as the Best Traveler and it&#8217;s something like a job offer, to play around Taiwan for 1 month! <img src='http://boonming.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Yea I know you are being envious. Don&#8217;t!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b352/BooNBoX/taiwan%20blog/DSC_0109.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t become envious of me&#8230; Not only I was being sent to this 4-star hotel suite in the middle of Taipei.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs464.snc3/25476_325760045795_99696985795_4013265_5387754_n.jpg" alt="" width="603" height="401" /></p>
<p>No I didn&#8217;t request for free return flight ticket to Taipei.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs444.snc3/25476_325759995795_99696985795_4013259_8044169_n.jpg" alt="" width="603" height="401" /></p>
<p>I never soaked my body into the lovely bath tub filled with aromatic warm water added with spa sea salt, and taking a &#8220;wild&#8221; ride on the fully automatic toilet.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs464.ash1/25476_325761325795_99696985795_4013266_1040719_n.jpg" alt="" width="603" height="401" /></p>
<p>And no I didn&#8217;t ask for them to send me pocket money.</p>
<p>What am I typing?! So much rotten after 20 days&#8230;</p>

<p>Well.. It&#8217;s GOOD to be here, isn&#8217;t it?</p>

<p>If you think that there&#8217;s nothing left for you to care, think again&#8230;</p>

<p><em>The Best Things in Life <strong>aren&#8217;t THINGS</strong>&#8230;</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Nick Vujicic, can do it. Why can&#8217;t we?</p>
<p>If you think it&#8217;s the end for you&#8230; How about him?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://jacklynker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/nick-vujicic.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p><em>Imagine, what would you do&#8230;</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usually when we lost a game we would swear to our heart that we tried so hard yet we couldn&#8217;t get what we wanted. When we jealous of something over another person that we couldn&#8217;t get. When we tried to hard to complain of our lives that we never get satisfied with.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Argghhh~~~ My results sucks big time!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;My parents won&#8217;t pay me for the school trip&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;My friends bullied me..&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230; &#8230;</em></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/Nick_Vujicic02.jpg" alt="" width="458" height="342" /></p>
<p>Remember, time passes. No matter what you do. One second of anger. One second of jealousy. One second of sorrow.</p>
<p>We have to spend the time anyway, why not spend it in a meaningful way? Or simple &#8212; HAPPY WAY??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, Life is full of mess and craps that we need to take care of. But not just you! WE ALL NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN MESS! But what makes the difference is HOW you face your mess&#8230;</p>
<p>Turn around, look it at another angle. It might be all different&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.adaptiveaquatics.org/images/adaptivewaterski.jpg" alt="" width="513" height="383" /></p>
<p>Enjoy loving others and enjoy being loved. Appreciate life! Because it&#8217;s so GOOD you can be here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s almost 3 days after &#8220;<a href="http://boonming.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/ntu-student-stabbed-professor/">The Incident in NTU</a>&#8221; that strike the whole NTU, Singapore and also some regions in grief. It cannot be denied that somehow this incident has brought attention to high officers in Singapore also in NTU the issues about STRESS that students might have in Singapore. How much attention am I talking about?!! Keep on reading and I will post on a statistic that shock me!!</p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s leave the complicated part to those officers to worry about.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/CIMG3153.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p>Perhaps we should concentrate more on the stuff that will make us happy.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t mean we can be careless to all the stuff around us, but at least we take a short break and enjoy our moment. Usually I would enjoy the time even there are difficult times.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/CIMG3159.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p><em>My colleagues</em></p>
<p>I remembered I had been to a fortune telling session before some years ago. By looking at my face, the fortune teller said I would have a &#8220;difficult life&#8221; because I have an &#8220;uneven&#8221; surface. Huh?! </p>
<p>That means a lot of LOBANG on my face!!! Thanks to the pimples I&#8217;ve got since I was 13.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://montaltofamilypractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pimples_full.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="200" /></p>
<p>Not one by A LOT OF THEM!!</p>
<p>After that, I used to blame on my destiny everytime I face with challenges. </p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/21012009.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>When I think about that now, I know how stupid I am&#8230; Just to blame everything because what a fortune teller told me about my destiny and fate. Well, he might be right but let&#8217;s not surrender so fast to fate ok?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/79327394_d6979d6d97.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="500" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a long journey by the way. No way we can give up in the early stage in our life!!</p>
<p>And that is why there are many things around us. Family, friends, music&#8230; so many things that will support us all the way til the end.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/CIMG3157.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p><em>Double rainbow in Tuas, Singapore</em></p>
<p>Just hold on strong and you will see the rainbow in life. </p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/numblp/CIMG3045.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p><em>Angel hunger for your hug&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">By the way, anyone of you got very nice facial products to recommend? I&#8217;m using Nivea Men Wash and Bio-Essence Super Spot Removal Gel on my skin nowadays. The Bio-Essence seemed quite good as it really removed the pimples&#8230;</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Update: Tomorrow I will be posting on the statistic of visitor that came visiting to my blog moment AFTER THE INCIDENT&#8230; I was shocked to see that&#8230; =.=&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Something happened in my campus today. Something so shocked that I took minutes off my work during my industrial training to think over this. Traumatized and unbelieving, that something like this could have happened in the university that I am in now&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">To the family and friends of the victims and involved parties, condolences and to the student &#8211; R.I.P.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>====================================</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Update: 9:24PM</strong></p>
<p><strong>Our NTU President Dr. Su Guan Ning sent 2nd letter to the whole NTU population expressing the deep condolences with a clearer update from the incident. I don&#8217;t feel like posting the name of the person involved and if you insisted of knowing who he was, google from the net and not asking from me because I think this is at least some respect that he could earn for the last time. R.I.P. </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><em>Dear Faculty, Staff and Students of NTU,</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><em>The parents of David H. Wxx., have been informed of the details. Together with Prof Kam Chan Hin, Chair of EEE, Prof Er Meng Hwa, Senior Associate Provost, and Ms Chua Poh Gek from the International Student Centre, I met Mr and Mrs Wxx. and on behalf of the Board of Trustees, management and the NTU community, expressed our heartfelt condolences at the tragic loss. No words can adequately describe how saddened we all are. The university extends every help possible to the family in their moment of grief. Our prayers are with them.</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><em>I visited Prof Chan Kap Luk who is recovering at the National University Hospital after surgery which lasted an hour and forty-five minutes</em></span><span><em>. No main arteries or organs were damaged. I am heartened by the many students and colleagues who were also there to offer comfort and support.</em></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Everyone has stress. Perhaps he just put it in the wrong way.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>==================================</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Source:<a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_344879.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"> </span></a><a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_344879.html">http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_344879.html</a></p>

<p><em>The student had apparently jumped from the glass rooftop of a bridge.</em></p>
<p>This morning, an undergraduate student from Electrical and Electronic Engineering School in NTU had just commited suicide in the campus today, after he stabbed his final year project supervisor and professor.</p>
<p>The seriousness cannot be neglected. And the whole campus is filled with dark cloud during the first day when students were back from their one-week recess.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cemnet.ntu.edu.sg/mmm2007/images/ntu_aerial1.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></p>
<p>Stress? Confusion? Frustration? Vengeance? Academic?</p>
<p>There might be a lot of reasons that on why and how the student just like me managed to do something like tat. With due all respect, I shall not come into any conclusion in that. What I am going to tell is just something that poured from my heart immediately after the incident.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/digitalAssets/30738_StressfulStudy.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="146" />\</p>
<p>It reminded my of the Columbine High School incident that happened in USA quite awhile ago, and I couldn&#8217;t believe that something like this could have happened in the school I am in! </p>
<p>Stress. Yes. We are all in stress. For students in NTU (or perhaps NUS and SMU and others..), I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND your feeling. Everyday is like war. Everyday we are filled with commitment and tasks to be fulfilled and no one second can be wasted.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.revfacto.co.uk/Portals/0/A+_on.gif" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Whatever we do, whatever we say in the campus, it all comes down to the final objective &#8211; Exam grade? Results? Or the ultimate degree certificate that we are going to get?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.evangelsupply.com/ek24.jpg" alt="" width="471" height="339" /> </p>
<p>No I don&#8217;t think so!</p>
<p>Degree is important. But it is just a tool to open the path for you in your career when you are graduated. But whatever it is, it is just the opening part! And often when we concentrate on what we are aiming, sometimes we derail from the most basic stuff that we are supposed to pursue.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.livelifewell.nsw.gov.au/images/layoutimage.jpg" alt="" width="402" height="399" /></p>
<p>Life.</p>
<p>The society nowadays is derailed so much, that many of us mistake that Money is equal to a better life.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.worldofstock.com/slides/BCO1321.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>I do notice that in myself. I do wish I could have more money, thanks to the mindset of the society nowadays. Because without money you can&#8217;t do much for yourself.</p>
<p>But I realised that what we need is to earn what we could, and what we need.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://maria.air-nifty.com/littlehapiness/last_samurai.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p>The Last Samurai is a very good movie to remind yourself to be mediocre. Sometimes you walk a big round and return to the starting point, only to realise that what you really need is just some basic neccesities.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j209/spydergirl67/Enjoy_Life_by_dandelgrosso.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="308" /></p>
<p>OK. Those are not reasons for you to slack off! I don&#8217;t mean that. What I am trying to convey here is&#8230; Sometimes, we need to slow down, look around, and enjoy.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be so serious. Just follow the flow of life. And you might find what you really want afterall.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><strong>p.s.: Seriously, from a stabbing incident I can talk all the way to something not related at all&#8230; =.=&#8221;</strong></em></span></p>
