Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school? Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. 'Absolutely,' said the professor. 'In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello. 'I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:3 0 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 60s.. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..It read:'Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.'Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.'How much is an ice cream sundae?' he asked.'Fifty cents,' replied the waitress.The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.'Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?' he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. 'Thirty-five cents,' she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. 'I'll have the plain ice cream,' he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away'.Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her but he had chosen to save her anyway.
'Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching.'

Yesterday was a day full of Random Happenings hahaha. Yesterday's plan was to meet Fazlan and follow him for his Final theory test and then after that to meet up with faizal and juz slack for a while as He has to work the next day.
I met fazlan at abt 1800 at yishun mrt. Went to yck and walked about at NYP for a while and then headed to SSDC at abt 1900. We had a slight dinner there and then Fazlan went for his test at 2000. I met with my instructor to discuss about why i failed my Tp lol and pass him my Archarr-Mango & lime and waited for Lan to finish. Sadly Fazlan passed hahaha and he was damn happy...thats when randomness started. I wondered whether to juz catch the HULK tonight itself and he was like "On ah" then we thought how abt Faizal. We asked him and hoped for the best and Thank God faizal said ok also and there goes the Night lol.
Headed back to Yishun, Bought the Tickets and went back home first to get some stuff. Reached GV Yishun at abt 2200. Waited for Faizal as he was quite late. Movie was to start at 2210.
Incredible Hulk was Superb. It was a really good Action Packed Movie. The whole Storyline is Bruce running away from the Government which created him, from stopping them to use him to make more like him. It also relates to how he tries to remove it out of his body only then to decide to Control it and use it to help out fighting the Villians. The heroine role acted by Liv Tyler was also good. She's the only one who kinda like can control HULK. You should catch this movie, its really good.
I can't wait for the Next Marvel Movie - The Avengers which consists of the HULK, IRON MAN, NICK FURY and more and more superheroes.
After the movie finished at abt 0015, Our next random thought was to catch the Holland Vs France game at 0245 at my place but due to my place havin relations over plan got cancelled until of Coz we realised that Northpoint 24 hour Mac shows live telecast of all Euro games and therefore we headed there and damn it was packed lol. Lucky Us got a good spot to watch the game. While watching the first game Italy Vs Romania we all got hungry lol but since our house were nearby we decided to head back homes and meet back for the Holland game. Faizal went back to his place. Me and Lan headed back to his place instead.
Lan's place had gooooooood food. The lemak his grandmum made damn power sia. haha, after eating met back at the Mac. Italy Vs Romania game ended in a draw 1-1. The Second game started at 0245. The environment atmosphere at Mac was juz great. there were families,groups of friends and even students studying there watching the games lol. Holland game was Great...their play was splendid and they won France 4-1. each time they scored goals the whole crowd at Mac juz wakes up and goes Wild. The match ended and everyone was hyped and happy lol. 3 of us left back home and i reached home at abt 0500.
It was truly a happening Night out with the Guys lol. We should do it again for the Euro Finals.
Till Next Time

Well today was juz another normal day...
Went for a hair cut in the afternoon and was juz exploring the world wide web aka internet
(ok i'm juz bored and lame).
I stumbled upon a few movies and series that are gonna come out this year.
The first one I wanna share would be this Movie
Wanted
Wanted is a film based on the comic book miniseries Wanted by Mark Millar. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Thomas Kretschmann, Konstantin Khabensky and Angelina Jolie. Wanted has a target release date of June 27, 2008. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is offered the opportunity to seek revenge in the murder of his father, who was an assassin. Gibson is invited by his father's partner, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), to follow in his father's footsteps. Sloan's second-in-command, Fox (Angelina Jolie), mentors Gibson, who follows death orders issued by The Fates, weavers who read individuals' destinies in fabrics produced by mystical looms.
Here is a video trailer of the film. Angelina Jolie is totally hot and action packed in this movie. It has alot of exhilarating scenes as well. Enjoy.
Another Movie that is going to be released soon would be
The Incredible HULK
The Incredible Hulk is not based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk, set for release on June 13, 2008. It is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as her father General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Tim Roth as the villainous Emil Blonsky, known in the Hulk comics as the Abomination. The film follows Banner as he flees the pursuit of General Ross while attempting to find a cure to rid himself of the Hulk. When Blonsky personally volunteers to be injected with Banner's gamma formula to aid Ross in his capture, he becomes an even greater monster, and Banner must accept his inner beast to defeat Blonsky.
After the 2003 film Hulk, Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the character, and writer Zak Penn began work on a reboot that would be much closer to the comics and the television series. Norton rewrote the script after he signed on to star, severing all ties to its predecessor by retelling the origin story in flashbacks and revelations. Filming of principal photography mostly took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007, and the film's crew went to great lengths to reduce the production's carbon emissions. Letterier's direction aimed to make the monsters look more realistic and frightening. He redesigned the Abomination, who in the comics is a reptilian KGB agent, into a mutant soldier with bony protrusions.
Enjoy the trailer.
The last Movie or series that i saw was the
Knight Rider
This is the poster for the new series Knight Rider.
cool New Car( Mustang)
Supposingly this is the Movie poster for Knight Rider and the car looks damn cool. Hopefully it comes out good.

This might be one of the many random post that is to come.
Had a funny incident in the early mornings today
when I recieved this private no call and I answered it,
only to find out that there was a gal on the other line.
She told me to hold on and i realised that she actually put another person on the convo with us.
She told me that her name was Reka and that she wanted to make friends with me and whther it was ok with me and this was like 0135 in the morning.
I was like telling her that i wasn't interested and that she can find some other guy and she said that she wants to get to know me as i was recommended by her fren...like what the heck. I asked her who her fren was and she blackmailed me saying that if i agree to be friends with her then she would tell me who that person was. I couldn't be least bothered as she was interrupting the match of Spain and Russia.
I juz told her that its okie and that it was nice to talk to her..good nights and I juz hang up while i can hear her calling. You can call me mean but I dun care lol.
Then was chatting with my fren and juz talking abt the usual stuff.
Well my fren is a guy who still waits for his Ex hoping that she would come back to him and that is like way long. So i was curious to how he actually goes about staying strong amidst the many gals that he noes. He told me this, " You know, when I see pretty girls outside, I tend to not get excited or whatever (not because I'm gay)....The first person will come to mind would be _____, and I would imagine her like telling me, don't get attached. Cos one day, I'll come back to u that kinda thing.When I wanna flirt I'll think twice,No,thrice." haha after reading that i was like this guys weird but hey it helps him go on another day with hope for the best.
I guess with alot of patience and perseverence, you can always get what you want no matter what the odds are.

Watched this indian movie by the title Thozha (which in english means Friend).
The story revolves among 4 friends and how they face challenges in their life together.
The 4 characters are Veluchami (a Villager who comes to the city to find the Lover of his sister who cheated her),
Arivalagan( a degree holder who still can't get a job for about 5 years already),
Gajini( who dreams of becoming a hero for a film and the last guy well i forgot his name so lets juz name him
Prakash lol...( who is the sole breadwinner who helps this other guys).
Well Prakash works for a architecture firm and he is well to do. He was given a chance to go to a village to carry out some architecture plans and thats when hero meets his heroine. They both fall head over heels with each other. One day Prakash juz playfully asks her whether if she would die if she found out that he has an affair, and she tells him that she will not do something so stupid but get married to a better guy and live happily showing him on what he has missed. This is one crucial part to the movie so do take note.
After that prakash goes back and he gets himself a head injury while on site. Only to check with the doctors and find out that he has a rare head disease and he is only gonna live for a few months. Devastated at his current situation he could only think of his love back in the village. He was wondering how he going to make the gf understand that when he remebers the Quote that the gf said. ( which is stated in Red). He writes a letter and he randomly sends a gals photo together wit the letter to the heroine.
Back at the village the gal reads the letter and commits suicide and the brother Velu comes to the city in hopes of findin out who the lover is. Coincidently he seeks help from prakash and he stays over at his place to find the lover.
While all this happens, they would show how prakash helps to make the dreams of his frens gajini and arivalagan come true. Behind the scenes he helps Gajini become a hero. He also gets arivalagan married to the gal that he loves. All this in the expense of using up all his influence and money.
In the end velu will find out that prakash is the lover and not knowing the truth will get him arrested only to find out the truth at the court hearing itself on what his intention really was for sendin that letter and that he is going to die. The movie ends with Prakash dead.
The movie taught me something abt frenship and that a true fren would do anything just to see his fren happy. It also taught me that you should give more like love,care security, money and expect less and nature would takes it course to help you in life for ur good deeds.
It also made me think about how much to an extent
we would love our loved ones and looking out for them.
Random thoughts that can nv be answered??

Well It was a disappointing day on Monday.
I failed My Tp test... I guess its normal for anyone to fail the first time.
Surprisingly i got alot of demerit points like alot.
That was juz depressing...But well whats done is done...and i juz have to pick myself up and
try it again the next time. Have to pass the next time yeah lol.
Came across this phrase that made me feel better.
Disappointments are like road humps,
they slow you down a bit but you enjoy
the smooth road afterwards. Don't
stay on the humps too long. Move On!
When you feel down because
you didn't get what you want, just sit tight
and be happy, because god has got something better for you.
(Another day juz passes by)

Hello, Juz back from a fun filled night.
Went for my meeting and then it finished abt 2100
and then went to the temple with
Baba Anna and met up with Gokila, Buvana and Vani akka
and we made our way back home together as we are all north siders.
It was a fun journey back home cracking jokes at each other lol. I was pretty late myself as i was supposed to get to the dinner at Al Amin at Woodlands to so called celebrate before Ayyub goes for NS. However plan was changed and it was held at Syed instead a 24 Hour Coffee shop near my place hahaha saved me all the trouble.
Reached there at abt 2245, only to see that only faizal, ayyub and parthi was there with their ordered food but they haven started to eat yet as they were waiting for me and Fazlan. Too bad i reached but Fazlan haven and this guys were hungry lol. Lan arrived but his food took long and they couldn't take it anymore hahaha and started to eat. it was juz a fun filled dinner cracking jokes non stop and also discussing abt match tactics for a game that we have at WoodsGrove sec this sunday morning at 0900.
we finished dinner and made our way to Yishun mrt station to accompany ayyub and parthi. While walking there, i happen to stumble upon a wallet at the zebra crossing. I alerted the guys and we checked to see if there was any identification or any number that we could use to contact him, after rampaging through his stuff ayyub being the future police officer that he is going to be, managed to find the guys Number. I contacted the guy and realised that the guy was already asleep and he didn't realise that he lost his wallet. Told him that i would wait for him at the place i found the wallet and he came there within a short time. I passed him the wallet and was quite glad of doing a good deed way early in the morning hahaaha well at least the guy can sleep in peace lol. Well Tonight was juz great to end at this high note.

Sunday was a long,tiring and Fun day.
Went to visit granddad in the afternoon. Had lunch with him there and then brought him for walking. his condition had improved alot as he can walk quite well now but he still has a slight pain to his right leg and is still weak at his knees. His hand movement has improved greatly as well. After walking with him, send him back to his bed and left to meet the guys.
Met Fazlan and Parthi at Yishun interchange at 1500. Took buz 855 to Queensway Shopping Centre to get boots for Fazlan. It was an hour journey there and it was quite fun sharing our stories of the week haha. Reached Queensway Shopping Centre at abt 1600. Met Ayyub there and scouted around for the Boots. We saw a new Nike Boot design that was quite nice and the price was quite the Expensive as well.
THE NEW T90 LASER BOOTS
MECURIAL VAPOUR
After scouting around Fazlan finally decided on his pair of boots. He bought the ADIPURE Boots at a very good bargain of $54. His boots look like this
After that we took a bus to common wealth Mrt Station and made our way to Dhoby Ghaut where we walked around Plaza Singapura.
Us at Raffles place Mrt station before changing train.
We saw that a singapore street festival show was up and sat there for a while. Nothing was happeneing except a sound check by the DJ lol. We juz took a rest there la haha. After that walked about Cathay and then headed to the Buz stop to take Buz 16 to Kallang- The Cage.
The buz ride was quite fast but it was rather packed like a sardine i should say haha. We reached ard the indoor stadium and thinking that we reached the right place, we alighted. BUT NO we were wrong lol. After checking with a guy we realised that we still had a long way to go before we reach the place. Parthi called up one of his fren Jeremy who had a car and he was already at the cage so he picked us lost folks and brought us to the CAGE.
It was my first time to the place and the premises were quite nice. We booked pitch 2 from 1900 to 2100. we reached there at abt 1830. We were juz seeing the other team playing only to realised that Aide Iskander was playing with his family and Friends. It was a thrilling sight to see him there enjoying his time with his family and Friends. While waiting we scouted the area and i came across this two posters that looked damn cool.
Read Up Below
so babes u can always join us in our next session there lol. You can be in control at the Director's box. 1900 was up and it was game time.
Me, Fazlan, Parthi, Ayyub and Denise was a team and we conquered a few games. We all had opportunities to score except for Parthi who had to walk off due to a slight injury to his ankle caused by defending against Sachin's shot. We were rotating teams so fast as everyone was on their top form. only a few occasions it took a while to score other then that it was alright. Halfway throught Yat, Awin and Khairul came and joined in as well. The atmosphere was juz great and it was very very tiring then normal soccer hahaha. Everyone had their share piece of fun and time was up. Took a quick shower and we made for dinner.
Yuki insisted of eating at Old Changi Road which was far for the north siders lol. the whole group of us managed to convince Yuki to juz eat at the KFC nearby haha. Very good thing abt the KFC there was that it had a free flow of drinks so you can imagine us like pack of wolves getting our cups to refill drinks as and when once we finished since we were so thirsty.
Dinner was great disturbing Yuki aka Hidetoshi Nakata haha, He told us not to tell ppl so that he can live a private life here lol. We disturbed Yuki non stop and enjoyed his stories on Sri lankans and russians hahaha. it was already getting late being at kallang itself. we took buz 31 back to toa payoh interchange and back home. Reached home at 2335. It was a fun day out for sure. Well the time is 2.00 and i'm feeling sleepy so i guess thats it for today.

This area was one of the points where had alot of durian trees. 
We reached a pit stop where we took some neccessary equipments like long sticks and buckets. I was kinda surprised that there was such a pit stop located there in the first place.
While trekking for a very long time getting bites from ants, mosquitoes and walking on grasshoppers and more and more lol finally saw a few good durians. This was one of them that baba anna was cutting open.
Damn it looks so good right from the tree lol.
Well it sure taste good as well..
After collecting about a few durians we made our way back home. But for an hour an a half we were practically lost in the jungle and made circles. we saw this particular track like abt 3 times lol.
