Hope, Dreams and Future

Risk

2011-07-01T13:57:00.001+08:00

When things go your way, you plan for greater things. When things don't, you doubt if what you do is right at all. Well, if we don't take risk at young, then when? When we grow older and have more liabilities?

We've read a lot about successful people in the world talking about their success. They all emphasized on the same thing: ability to take risks.

Eduard Savirin said: "To be successful, you have to take risks". Yes, risk could be any form and it can be for the better or worst. Yet I can't agree more to this: we got to take risk.

The more I think of it, the more I know I have to take risk, for a possibly better tomorrow. Nothing comes easy, success obviously do not come easy too. There's a huge price to pay, but not many do. No one can tell me if I will be successful in future. No one can tell me if what I am doing is right or wrong. Whatever they say may be correct or wrong. Does it matter? Because their consequences would only be plain words: right and wrong. But the consequences for you impacts more. You could lose everything, but you can also gain everything you never ever thought you could. For all these uncertainty, there's a name for it called Risk. The comforting thing about risk is it comes with high returns. Again, it's not for the faint-hearted, for these people should only live by themselves in a small shallow place forever, living simple life they never knew could be better.

Since I came to know a little more about myself many years ago, I knew I was meant for something great. Really. Yet the question lingers on what it is, that may make me great. Seriously now, I am beginning to have an idea. But I still do not possess the characteristics yet. Way to go.

I have always been a risk-averse person. However I'm beginning to change. I do not want to continue living how I am living, which is pretty normal relative to everyone else. I'm not happy, I want more. I need to help myself. I need to breakthrough. I want to earn my own money to fund for my own wedding still as a student. I want to have money for my house's renovation still as a student. I want to own my so-desired BMW. All these, if you notice, shall be funded on my very own. I'm not dreaming, because it was happening but the other negativity of risk came in and my plans halted for a while. Afterall, what have I to lose? Probably my belief? Well, not so soon. I want to own all of the above and pay for every single thing on my own, not my parents. I'm only 23. I've got great future ahead of me, whether I succeed now or not. My success may not be now, but I am sure it will be in the near future.

Tang Bo Wei, you have to be focused and listen only to yourself. You can do it.

10 years down the road, you could be the one posting here, recalling on your success story. You may be talking about risk again.

Focus.

Focus

Focus Focus Focus. That is what you need to do.

Focus.

Ideas

2011-06-25T05:50:00.001+08:00

For once, I feel as though I'm out of ideas. Nevertheless, it's another wake up call for me to dig further and to do somemore hard work.

Successful

2011-06-20T10:25:00.001+08:00

To be successful, you need to take risk.

Greed again.

2011-06-16T05:17:00.001+08:00

Lost yesterday. Shouldn't have gone against my sentiment, shouldn't have gone against market sentiment. I knew all too well, but tried to take my chance if not I would have been correct. So we've actually got a relationship here. That is: if I go against my own sentiment trying to gain from it, I will end up losing. Yes.

Remember it, Bo Wei. It will be another lesson learnt, another lesson to confirm this co-relation.

Anyway, I am satisfied that I have learnt all these basic discipline early so it can be avoided in future when it may matter most.

There's a tinge of heartache, but frankly it doesn't hurt so bad, just a little. To me, I feel comforted knowing that I am aware of how to improve and how I have seen and will change things. I am a forward-looking person and don't dwell on history too much so I know I'll do better again.

I will earn it back. ;)

Breakthrough

2011-06-15T11:44:00.001+08:00

After months of studying, observation, determination, disappointment, I have done it this time.

For two consecutive days, I have beaten the market. I feel good. However, we cannot take this for granted because things may become unpredictable. Nevertheless at this moment, I shall go one step at a time and shall keep beating the market as opportunities permit. Well, success is when preparation meets opportunities right? I've done my share of studies and now, I can feel opportunities are knocking.

I found that it's mentally and emotionally stressful. However, all top jobs like CEOs, CFOs who earn big bucks undergo huge amount of stress too don't they? They are constantly thinking, never stop for a second. Soon, I'll be like them, I'll be enjoying the simplest activity like strolling along the green field. At this moment, I am all committed to this top job. I'm ready for the stress.

I can do it.

I feel good.

I won't be big-headed.

A great Fund Manager is coming through.

God bless me, yes. You've been fantastic to me so far.

Breakfast

2011-06-11T12:05:00.001+08:00

Had good breakfast at Swensen's this morning! You guys should try it because it's more worthwhile than your big breakfast at MacDonald's.

Today is going to be another good day. Take some time alone, take a break, freshen up your thoughts and get ready for the bell on Monday!

Excited!

Cool after thrill

2011-06-11T02:07:00.001+08:00

Kind of missing Janice Wong now. Been to her blog. I know she has been unhappy recently, over the past 2 months maybe? I think I know why.

It's been 3 weeks since my exams. About the same time I've spent almost everyday with Janice Wong. We've been together to do many relaxing and cheerful things like watching movies and having good food on an extremely regular basis. But I still feel she's unhappy.

Could it be at work? Could it be me? Could it be what else? I don't know. She always appear fine in front of me. I don't want her to feel only "fine". I want her to feel nice and happy all the time. Could it be that we've most of the time be at home? Hmm, what else could we have done outside then? We've done probably all of the normal couple stuffs already..

Could it be the people that we see having so much, resulting in us admiring them and what they have causing us to be unhappy? I think so..

Both of us are from normal average family where we have to work for every single thing ourselves: no short-cut. Me being only 23, still a year left before graduation really can't do much. Janice Wong, a nurse, don't earn much too. Can't do much. But I always tell her that she can seek comfort in the fact that she paid for her own University costs at $16k+ . I think that's a big achievement given the circumstances she's in. As for me, I always want so much, dream of so much. People may think I'm unrealistic but hey, isn't that what dreams are suppose to be? Haven't they heard that dreams come true? Haven't they heard that dreams fuel your drive? Haven't they know that dreams makes you forgive today and that tomorrow is all the more worth living for? To me, dream is hope. I'm a man with hope, ever optimistic. I believe. I have the belief. I believe I will succeed and own everything I ever desired for. No I'm not talking big. I just know I'm meant for something big. I know I'm always hungry. I know it's not me to settle for anything lesser than it could. Adding them up, it comes to this: "A man with hunger will not go hungry". This is what I am: looking for opportunities. I want to achieve so many things for three reasons: First, to make my ever-supporting father proud. Also, to give him a really good life that he really deserves. Let me tell you guys, he's the best father one can ever have. Whatever I do, right or wrong, he supports me, he advises me and he always believe in me. Effects on me? The more he does that, the more I want to do for him. I just love him.

Second, as you may have guessed, it's for Janice Wong. I love her with all my might. I love her with all my soul. I'd give her everything she asks for, as long as it's within my means - She knows that. Even in future, I want her to have everything. From her favourite diamond ring she deserves, to a car, to a penthouse condominium. Personally, my wish stops at a car and a house, whatever the house. Just because she likes it, it's been in my list to provide it for her. Can't you see? I just want her to be happy.

Years and years down the road, I want her to always have a smile when she thinks back on how we have met, how we have married, and how she had made the Biggest decision of her life. I want to be the person she knows she cannot live without. Every single day, I want her to know that her decision with me is the correct one.. I think that's love, that's a couple, that's beautiful isn't it? How to achieve that? Well,I think I've been on the right track, unless someone tells me I'm wrong. Nowadays, we have to be practical. Love alone can't feed you and stop your stomach from growling. You have to be practical and have Moolah! You can't expect your wife to be constantly envying others right? What does that make you? It case you guys disagree with me, well at least it's what I think about keeping your wife happy.

Janice Wong has all the freedom she wants. Every decisions, every move, every aspect of her life. Ask her, I've ever been supportive throughout, except this recent months. That being said, I think I'm the most 'equal' or balanced boyfriend I ever know. I take care of her emotional and material needs. I do become a monster once in awhile when I don't agree with things and it being way above my threshold. She has experienced it too. But I always got good reasons for it, normally reasons out of sense of principal. Other than that, I'm pretty much a cool and open dude. She knows that too. That's why recently she says I'm detestable and lovable. Well, I take it as a compliment because I would never want to be the Mr. Nice Guy because they are the most boring character in the book and they always die first. Don't you realize that bad guys are what makes the story interesting? That's me, I try to have both. She knows that too. She says I'm arrogant and proud. Yes. I can't tell you how proud I am about us and I always look up to our own relationship. So I can't accept flaws exceeding our "threshold". Is it wrong? I don't think so. Me being arrogant? Partly maybe? I believe in what I believe very much and there's only one person who can change me and that's myself. If you agree the aforementioned about myself, surely you can't dispute me on this because you would have agreed that I am a guy who knows things and know how to run my life better than any other guys can run their own. Like, being "balanced".

Thirdly, I'm working hard for myself because I want to satisfy the above two reasons. Yes.

That's me, always powered by hope and future. Yes. I'll make it.

Trains

2011-06-10T22:47:00.001+08:00

Got on the train this time. Too greedy. Panicked. Got off too early.

I just wanted more to impress my Big Man and everyone around particularly my Dear.

It's ok. Everything that is currently happening now is another valuable experience. Each day, I'm learning something. Hopefully, these will be put all in good use at the most critical stage.

Don't look back Bo Wei. Look forward, you know that. Whatever you've learnt now can make you better for the next situation.

Yes. I always believe that whatever mistakes you've done will always come in handy in the next. But be sure not to repeat the mistake again.

Right now, once the bell rings, I know I'll be making important decisions. It's extremely thrilling yet frightening. Well, it shouldn't be frightening. I know it is now because there are still many things I do not know. It's ok, one step at a time. Until I fully grasp it, I won't be frightened anymore; I'll be the man standing on top of the hill shouting: I understand all of you, I know your moves!

Long term

2011-06-08T14:35:00.001+08:00

It's like football, until the end of 90 minutes, things remain unknown!

But it's ok because we're all talking about long term. It's called investing, not gambling..

Up as expected..

2011-06-07T23:13:00.001+08:00

Is up from the previous down, in line with the market. Actually, if I had not listened to outside advises, my analysis would all have been right so far..

It's ok..

Focus Bo Wei.. Focus.. One wrong means another experience, for the Right when it starts to matter, starts to count.

Yes..

Focus

2011-06-07T10:20:00.001+08:00

Tang Bo Wei, all you need to do is to Focus. Yes. Focus

Testing

2011-06-05T19:45:00.001+08:00

Hello,

I am testing this new app that can help me link my mobile phone to blogging so it can be more convenient.

2010-09-06T21:59:00.003+08:00

Hey!

Yesterday was fantastic because my father, sweetheart and I went to Comex and I bought my long-awaited 32" LCD TV and its a TOSHIBA - one of my favourite brand for TV. I've also bought a Samsung netbook with tons of free gifts, making it an extremely great deal! Haha.. I was smiling from ear to ear yesterday all the way to Pizza Hut, where we had our sumptuous dinner. Well, it felt really good to have you love ones as your company, doing the things you love!

Right now, I look forward to coming back to my ROOM each time I'm out so I could get back appreciating my TV and make the full use out of it. Up till now, I haven't mentioned anything about my netbook right? Haha, my aim to Comex was actually to buy a Netbook, but after getting it at such a great deal, all mood was right to further carry on that spree and land my 32" which I had been wanting so much to get for the past 2 years. What can I say - the time now is right, the price is right too!

I probably wouldn't like to use 'days' to countdown to my birthday because it would seem I had been looking forward to it when I'm in fact not! I don't know, just not looking forward to it except one thing: to go have International Buffet with my Father and Janice! I know my father loves Buffet especially fresh Oyster, which is his all-time favourite and so much so that it has become mine too! When I see my father happy, I'm happy too.. So really looking forward to that.. Other than that, all is normal and I even planned my timetable to have classes a day before and ON my birthday.. How great is it? See, thats my intention of keeping that day as simple as possible.. A good dinner and time spend with these 2 people who keep be satisfied and happy already!

Sweetheart, don't be troubled over what to buy for me because at this moment, especially after yesterday, I do not need anything! If you insist, maybe a good-looking T-Shirt? Hehe... I'd probably want a T-Shirt.. something which you would like me to have! Anyway, I'm gonna have to wear it for you right? haha!

Before I end this, I'll still have to say that I do have one last wish for the month! And that is... this end of the month's 'result', which obviously isn't in any of our control. So, Guan Yin Ma, all Gods in heaven, if you guys ever thought of giving me a present, how about that? if you do, I think it would be the biggest present I ever received, and the most most valuable not many human beings at my level can give.. So could you guys do that please? Please? Well, I thank you in advance first alright? Thank you, especially Guan Yin ma.. I know you don't like to disappoint people.. =)

2010-08-29T13:15:00.003+08:00

Today, I am going to try make Janice Wong a happy woman after the rough patches she's had at her work, and her life these few days. Well, I wanted us to watch Step Up 3 and I guess it would now be a good time to watch Comedies and have a good laugh! So we're watching Grown Ups!

We'll both get through these unpleasant times together ok? What matters is you have me, and I have you right? 2 more years and we graduate and we'll start a life of our own and that's what I'm living for right now. My eyes are focused at it and I'm looking looking nowhere at the moment. Well hone, it keeps me going you know.. So happy just by looking at it. Balloting results will come in about 3-4weeks time. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope everything comes our way ok? You'll be a student starting tomorrow; an Undergrad just like me! Excited! I'm sure you'll excel in that.. I'm so sure, just because you're you! I love you Hone!

2010-01-04T21:57:00.002+08:00

Hello!

I wonder if anyone still visits this blog or has anyone forgotten it? =) I am here procrastinating before I get down to complete my assignment later on that I took the time to visit my buddies' blog one by one; something which I haven't done for many months and seldom do. Well, everyone's doing alright and I'm happy for them.

Looking at my blog, I realised how fast I have moved on since my last post and how far this place is lagged behind. Nevertheless, things have not changed and if I were to wholeheartedly blog again the content would be the same and it is that I am still very much in love with Janice Wong and I don't think any post would be posted without mentioning her. =) That's just me, and I know its something some buddies of mine cannot stand. Haha! I think people who do not know us may not believe such love because I know its too lovey dovey and its alittle abnormal. Sometimes I think so too, I think my life now revolves in our love circle and there is hardly any changes other than cuddling together everyday. I understand this and I do not plan to come out of this circle because I'm simply in love with her. I think it takes self-experiencing to understand this and to people reading this, your time will come when like me, you find that special person whom you know you're going to spend the rest of your life with. =)

I think NS shaped me into a whole new person despite the nature of my job being ultimately relaxing. First, no matter whether you like it or not, you report to work early in the morning. Secondly, no matter you like it or not, you work with the people everyday. I think I am now someone who can endure hardship more than anything else than the previous me which being to much in my comfort zone, giving up was always the option because I had nothing to lose. =) You guys know that! =) Right now, I can see the future clearly and that is the reason why I am working so hard, working and studying at the same time, at the age of 21. In my mind, graduating with a degree with 3 years of work experience looks really attractive and I'm going for it. By then, I'd only be 24years old. I'll have a bright future ahead and I think with somemore hard work and opportunities, I'd have the whole world under my feet and most importantly, making this beautiful woman I have with me, my wife. =) We're simply working for our future, saving up for it, planning for it. Isn't this beautiful? If things carry on smoothly like that, I think its a metter of 5-6years before we achieve our dreams and as you guys know, we can't wait for it.

Sometimes we think we're moving too fast at our age by wanting so much. However, with hunger comes the drive right? And with drive comes ability. Sweetheart, I'm so proud of us.

I think everyone can see that I don't even mention anything about my work or studies. LOL. These two obviously have their difficult things which I am glad I seldom see it because I'm focus on our goals. Believe me, you just don't see it when you're working day in and out chasing your dreams and achieving your goals. I'm glad.

Sweetheart, life will be hard but I want you walking with me. The end would be sweet, yet a brand new beginning. =)

I miss Janice Wong!

Ah, I just got back from my friend's 21st birthday party at his house in Kembangan and Janice is now on her night shift in KK! Right now, I am all alone using the computer and having time to do what I like such as surfing, chatting, gaming and stuffs. Sometimes, this is what I long for because I seldom have the time to do that when Janice is around! (Don't wonder first, I am going to explain now) =)

They say you never miss the water until its gone. I realise its quite true. We've got plenty of water every now and then and around every corner but we never seem to appreciate it and I think we would never even have thought about it at any point of our life, except for the fact that in primary school, they taught us water-rationing which I thought was a little stupid. I mean, why do they need to stop our use of water when there's so much of it? Haha! Well, as I mature, I know why. Now that I've become wiser, all the more you can relate situations or people to that of our precious, water.

Janice is always around me, in fact, I can't live without her. Most of the time when she's with me, we tend to fight over things, have little tiffs and argument just because we're more concerned with our personal interest and sometimes, just having the childish intention to piss each other off. Nevertheless, I think the last reason happens more to me. Haha! She's soft and someone so easy to please. She doesn't get angry for long. But sometimes, does throw alittle bit of tantrum when she doesn't get her way. I feel I am partly responsible for that because I felt I have spoiled her alittle. Sounds like a kid right? Haha! When she's around, I sometimes hope I could quickly send her off to work so I could relax in my very own environment but as soon as she's not around anymore, I miss her like crazy. Sometimes I get too lazy or tired to send or pick her up from work, but I don't feel safe for her to go home on her own! Ah! Darling..! I love you soo soo much!

Now that she's on her night shift, I wonder how she is because she's having a litle fever after been given her flu vaccination. Come on ANTIBODIES! Come On! Well, sitting in front of the computer, I just want to say I really miss her.. I MISS YOU HONEY!

Wow! I have received so much support for this new blog! Thank you guys for following up and to still be reading this blog! Hahaha.. It feels pretty good to see your friends tagging on the tagboard because it lets you know that everyone is still in contact!

Well, my Mother gave me a pair of Golden Village tickets to watch Hui Ge's Love Matters and of course, I went with my Sweeeeethearrrt when again, we smuggled so many cheap yet nice Kopitiam food. I know its low-class, but its definitely worth it and it brings lotsa thrill! Initially, I got feedbacks from my colleagues that the movie is lame and stupid. But I enjoyed the movie throughout man! I personally think that it is very educational and I am frightened by the nightmare which happened to 'Jeremy'. To be, I feel that the whole movie truthfully reflects some families in the society and something about Men. Men are lustful and they then to make mistakes at some point later in their life. I did a little bit of self-reflection asking myself if I may fall into that category BUT, I think I will cherish whatever I have AND again, I am afraid of 'Hui Ge's retribution' which was to be ignored by his wife! Thats so sad! To sum up, I think that movie offers many things which we can learn from, especially males! Woo!

Its fast man! Tuesday has ended and we're now moving on to Wednesday and then we get prepared for Thursday! Happy Birthday to you. . . . . I bet Lau is equally excited as well but at the same time, tired and stressful planning for that perfect celebration. Lau ah Lau, We'd try to accomodate you as much as we can to your plannings ok? We've bought you present too so LOOK OUT!

Ah! Time for bed man! Seeya

Bo Wei

A brand new start

2009-02-09T19:53:00.003+08:00

I got inspired by some of my friends' blog whom template seem so much better than what I had before! Thus, I decided to change mine and hopefully it gives me a new interest to carry on blogging! Aye, its only a Monday and I can't wait for Thursday to come when my long-time buddy of 12 years finally will turn 21; nice figures there isn't it? Haha! I just can't wait for everyone of us to have another huge gathering since a long time ago and of course, to spend the night together. I'm just so looking forward to that!

Well, like before, but a little different this time, is that I'm waiting for an acceptance letter from SIM telling me I'm accepted into BSc Banking & Finance! I really can't wait to start school and get busy. I know its a long way, but I'm just so excited that I can't wait for the future to speed straight at me because all I want to do is just get out there, earn my own money and satisfy all my desires! (I'm sure you all know what they are)

Here are my 3 MOST important objectives that I have and I think they would be the only three for the rest of my life!

1. To have a Grand Wedding
2. To afford a comfortable Home for the two of us
3. To afford my favourite Car

Erm.. You notice of of them requires money? Yeah man! That's the reason why I can't wait to go for all of them! I just can't wait!

Anyways, I hope you guys share my taste of blog template I have here and I feel good with it! Lets hope the fire continues to burn inside me and I promise you guys (if you still normally pop-by to read) that I'd update it as regularly as I can because I know, reading your friend's blog can be very interesting! =)

Bo Wei
