Invest in yourself!

HAHA..
im 20 years old and 1 month 23 days now, as i just see my latest post is when i just turned 20..HAHA...

i apologise to everyone to keep u all waiting soo long...lol..

Anyway, ignore my tag la..
im not spending time counting down my ord date..tat i forget to update..
actually..im a very busy person last month(Aug).. and i can say i will be busier in the coming months..i will tell u why later..(:

I will start from the month of July..right after my Birthday..

1)mid-July

Another of my close friend in team D oRd..he's steven. He taught me alot alot of things, since i joined the team last year, and its kinda like a mentor to me. He will teach you everything he noe, when u ask, and he's a very efficient guy. A smart, creative, and a fast learner. He can lodge a report in 5 mins, access almost every case in ap, and i can say hes more than most of the regulars. And i think this is the kind of ppl the SPF and govt will want to look for. However, we share the same sentiments as other pnsf, why give so much during ur ns, when other regulars are getting paid higher than us and doing their bare minimum, and making use of us to work for them. Seriously, i think the force needs more smart and capable ppl, instead of bootlickers backstabbers and 'tolak' kings.( tolak=push in malay)


Anyway, thx steven for helping me so much, esp teaching me tv1 and helping me in one way or another. And now, the team is quieter and soon, it will be dannesh alone..and by next year, the whole anti-ang gang has ord-ed lo!..123th,124th,125th,126th..maybe left 127th, but they are just too quiet..lol

steven: extreme right

He's 125th intake. Next, its me:)


2)July 19th


Yes!. this is a special day:)..

Me n val went to the Singapore Flyer! ya. after soo long it has opened..haha.

alright..2 tix=$59, can be bought online on its website.
Then, they were having the NDP rehearsal. However, i took the flyer at 9pm, and it was just about time it ended..so wat i saw was people leaving the field, and students clearing the seats..LOL
The night scenery was good, but i can say there was not much to see YET. 1 side u can see the night of CBD, tall buildings and skyscrapers lighting up the sky, probably the NDP area , and looking at cars dashing along the well-lit expressway. Another side, u see the dark side of CBD, yes, nothing at all, cos its not lighted, and i dunno if its a sea, or a dark pitch of field. Just beside it is the Integrated Resort which is still constructing..
here are some of the pics..

3)July 31.

Me n Val went down to Cathay Adidas to make our personalised running shoes.

You guys must be wondering.. i make shoes for wat.. how come i suddenly become so enthusiastic about running.. wat inspired me..

Alright.. its because me n val have signed up for the Standard Chartard Marathon 2008 which is on dec7 ( by then,ORD-OH!). Ok la. we just signed up for the shortest route. 10km only. Val got it free since shes a staff, but i paid $45 for it. Some may say '' Chay..10 km only''..but for me , i have yet to run a marathon , even in police training, i never exceed 3 km.LOL. Talking about you army guys.. wat i do is just a fraction of wat u do, since i keep hearing u all complaining about wat ' 21km march la..42km march la..''..mine?..3 km.. HAHA. somemore?..i dun need to carry FBO and wear heavyboots like wat u guys do. so 10 km is indeed a challenge for me. 10 km this year, 21km next year, and den 42KM!. n yes. i must win Chris!!..HAHA

After 3 weeks , we got our shoes. 200+ after discount of 30%. i can say this will last me at least 10 years of running.

4)24Aug

Yes. thats the Singapore Bay Run, also called the Army-Half Marathon. I went with my team D friends and some from the Admin side. Hearing that our Commander Apd is running with us, i thought alot of ppl will be following, to bootlick or carry balls, BUT to my surprise, alot of bootlickers from our APD dint follow, becos, they CANNOT run!.. they rather carry balls in stn!.

Anyway, i signed this up back in May, and you know wat?. We- me daanesh azman- just signed up for the 6km run. After we finished our run, we thought, ''Wat is 6km??''..lol..its just a waste of our money!..lol. we got nothing back, at least those runnig 10km or 21km got their finisher's medal. WE?. brouchers.WAT The..

As i said, we signed up in May, and tat time, we haven even go for our IPPT, and start training for our 2.4km. So, 6km is like too much for us. Its like a mental barrier; we dare not look tat far at 10km or even 21km. However, right after our Ippt, we felt tat we could have run the longer distance. but its too late. Then, looking at almost 60% of the army running 21km..It just show a sign- Police just arent fit enough.

Im referring to majority. Seriously, looking at my stn alone, its really sad to see so many 2.4km failers, some carrying BIG tummy. Oh ya, im not referring to the NSguys. And when u see these 'big tummies' promoted, u sense someting. They are only good at thing- carry.Carry wat?. You shld noe.



5) Another thing im busy about- READING.
HAHa. then u may ' WAH, serious anot!!. READING??!!..lol.you read?..HAHAHAHA''
me, ' yes. reading'.
Seriously, like i have said earlier in my previous posts, i never finish a book beyond its introduction..NOT even chapter 1!!.haha. School literature books?..LOL. i cant remember anything.haha.

Talking about it, i have visited bookstores, TIMES, Popular, Harris..., more often. And the ONLY section i go to is "SELF-HELP/ SELF Improvement'', and maybe the ' Best Sellers-Non-fiction''
ONly this 2 sections excite me. Other sections, i will sleep.

Since then, i found my passion for ' SELF-HELP' books.You ask me to read Harry Potter and wat wat wat, no matter how interesting, i will sleep. i rather watch its movie. However, for self-help books, i can read continuously for 5 hrs.( ok la. 5hrs is short for bookworms..). I can see the difference why i prefer self-help books.

In Fiction, 1 thing i do not like is characters. In long stories, there are way too many characters!!..and additional characters may come in the later part of the stories. This makes me confused. However, fiction books need characters, if not it won't be exciting.

In Self-Help books, there is only 1 charcter- YOU, and maybe some people with success stories.
Humans work by emotions. When the author is writing in 2nd person(YOU), u will continue reading to see wat he is talking about you. Like the FIRST book i have just finished, 'MEN FROM MARS, WOMEN FROM VENUS ' , the author , John Gray, is telling about how men are different from women, and how you can have a good relationship with your partner.
From there, you will know How come disagreements may arise when you are tooo close to your partner, or How come She may be upset even though u shower her with lots of love?
YES!, when you experience these problems b4, you will want to take up this book and READ!!

The SECOND book tat i had completed is '' SECRETS of SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE'' By ADAM Khoo. Sometimes, when u read this kind of book, esp the ppl in my station, they may say '' WAH, millionaire AH!. U wan to become one ah?..(den they laugh)''. Alright, these ppl are just satisfied with their low-paid gahmen job. I have no comments abt tat.
I read this book, and understand HOW come somebody can Earn so much, with someone earning so little, with both doing the SAME job? and HOW come someone whose income is lower, is richer than someone whose income is 5times higher?. This is about managing your money:)

YES. As you can see, all the self-help books talks about YOU!. U r the main character!!.. they are written to help the person reading it, n tat's why they're called ' SELF-HELP'' books.HAHA. To find out more, read these books ba. Some can be found in the library.

Another thing i like to stress is..
Invest in YOURSELF.

that's the most valuable investment you MUST have, and Only this Investment will reap the Highest Returns.

For me, I have stopped playing my PSP. YEA STOPPED!. i realised i have been wasting too much time after playing for almost 1 1/2 yrs of NS. 1 1/2 yrs is quite long.lol. Everytime i play is at least 2-4 hrs. Do i gain anything?. You lose more. My vision become more blurred.. fingers become numb..waste electricity somemore. OK la..just play occasionally to relieve stress..

Reading?. i get my vision blurred after reading too long.. But i gain more. Knowledge. Information. That's why school teachers , esp english teachers keep emphasizing on reading. BUt they only promote storybooks. Tats why i dun read since young. If they promote SeLF-help books, i may pick up the habit earlier.HAha. Alright, let's not blame others.

OK. ANother Super-long entry..
not good to clump diaries together. YOu will find yourself too much to write. Updating regularly is good. Im saying about myself. =D
