Which Tarot Are You?

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really “Satan” at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild – or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Damn Tired

I am super uber tired these few days. Some kinda blur like what Jie Xin described as. Basically, I felt so damn tired this morning. No no, I mean yesterday night. Its terrible. Got kinda “not going school” mood. Tried to motivate myself and thanks YL for the motivation. Haha. So, in the end, dragged my lazy sleeping body to the Interchange and slept all the way in the bus. Lol. Simply too drained and in the morning somemore. Lessons was terrible in the first half. Which has been always the case. So, I managed to spend my time in the lecture hall. It was raining after our lecture.

So, we decided to eat in school as we are kinda craving for Jap food. Chicken Katsu Don, so nice. Haha. But its quite unhealthy though. I must really control on the kind of food I am taking. Cos I seriously need to take care of my so called “wonderfuL’ health. Spent the rest of the time chatting. And tell you, I din do revision today. Don feel to do!

Went over to JP after which. Walked around. Had my Tau Huay! Haha. Lol. Chat and chat after which. Homed at around 4 plus. Played Kungfu Online. Then met up with Jie Xin for dinner at Pioneer. Haha. So funny la, lol. Talked about all kinda nonsensical stuffs. Some kind of distress mediation session for me. Hoho!

Alrytes, till here. Sometimes, I felt so lazy…just to blog.

An Artistic Presence

Updates

Back from Malaysia. Some updates for today before I go to chiong my Economics Test for tomorrow. Before I start, see this building…

This is a picture of the design of Penang Global City Centre (PGCC). Its somehow like the concept of the KLCC. This is damn nice. Why Penang got such towers and Johor not yet have? However, I am sure that the government will build one signature tower for Johor. Soon…haha, maybe.

Friday. Was a tiring day after meeting YJR up at Holland V. Before that, I have to tell you, I got no mood in concentrating on lessons. Haha. We dined at Essential Brew. Its a nice place. However, I need to control my food intake…No Fries. So its a pity. However, the Cajun Dory is nice. Im lovin it. We should go there next time, by then, we should sit on the floor. Many things were discussed…pretty funny.

Continue to watch my The Drive of Life…its getting exciting. OMG! But I managed to finished till epi 8. Its a long show. 80 Episodes and I finished only 1/10. LOL. Jia you jia you. Its test tomoro. Have to do some studying. Haha. Aza aza fighting.

Ciaox.

Darn It

Today, my main purposes for going to school was to check my attendance and to attend “The Wine Appreciation Journey” workshop. Both things simply sucks. Firstly, when I reached school, and I reached there early okay! The queue for the attendance checking was like damn hell long. Took me around half an hour to complete the process. Damn them. Alrights, that isnt all! So, due to the marking of attendance, I was late for the workshop. Because after I checked my attendance, I learnt that David and Shradha was gonna reach soon. So waited for them for a while. We went up the the workshop venue straight, SHIT THAT STUPID WORKSHOP and FUCK THAT BLOODY SPEAKER FOR THAT WORKSHOP! You know why, cos we were like only late for that short 15 minutes, the LOCKED the door and disallowed us to go in, just because we are late. I mean, please okay, we were late due to the attendance checking, and moreover, we pay for that workshop, what the bloody hell rights to lock us outside the classroom. And then, we were like coming to school for nothing! And when they were having break, David and I was like going to see whats inside, saw that bloody speaker, wa lao, his hair damn long, and old man somemore, whats that big deal. David said we were late…he replied:” You late…Sorry, no more already”. Wa lao, so angry…shall not tok about it. We rushed all the way here and for nothing.

Anyways. after everyone left. David and I went for revision on Economics. I just learnt that the school got a great place for studying and discussion…so cool, cubical somemore. But limited places. So, ended up studying at the MEGABITES! So, taught David about Econs. I don think I can teach well…haha, sorry about that. Haha. And thanks for the coffee. I heart coffee…I know, its bad…haha. Everything ended at around 7pm, reach home at around 8 plus. So tired in the bus, no air con somemore. Made my face so oily. Alrights, should be thats all. Tomoro meeting YJR at Holland V, I think its full strength tmr??? haha. BYE! Ciao.

Finally

Finally, one test’s down. Felt being so relieved, and somehow I can breathe properly. By the way, theres Economics and POA Tests coming along the way. Really, felt some kinda sad as Genting Founder passed away yesterday. Somehow, it makes me thinking, he left the world without bringing along his whole business empire – Genting Group. However, I do felt that hes a great man. As I read his story in the news, I found him as a hero of all Malaysians and the business society. I want to be like him one day, a person who is successful and able to contribute back to the society, just like him. Hes my idol and my direction. Hes a man whos being well respected for. Good Bye, Tan Seri Lim.

Today’s Wednesday. Timing of my schedule was like somehow bu san bu shi. Really, lunched only after lecture, which was around 4 pm when I reach Jurong Point. Waited for Jun Da, who reached here at around 5 pm. Intended to teach him Maths, haha, but somehow don turn out rite. Lol. But still, we ended up chatting and chatting. Alot of topic touched. By the way, I have my dinner after 3 Hours from my lunch. LOL. You see, really bu san bu shi. So tired…have to go for workshop tomoro still. Shall rest from now. So tired…I need energy!

Ciao.

Genting group founder Lim Goh Tong dies

Picture in Courtesy of New Straits Times Online

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s “Casino King” Lim Goh Tong, who turned a jungle hilltop into one of the world’s most successful casino resorts, died on Tuesday, his son said. He was 90.

Lim developed the hilltop Genting Highlands casino resort in the 1960s and made it the crown jewel of his Genting group, a conglomerate with listed companies on the Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong stock exchanges.

Former leader Mahathir Mohamad had said that the success of Lim, a Chinese immigrant who had nothing when he came to Malaysia in his late teens, set a shining example for the country’s business community.

“If there were more entrepreneurs like him, Malaysia would have achieved more in its economic development,” said Mahathir. “His struggle can be considered part and parcel of Malaysian development.”

Lim was ranked 204th on the Forbes 2007 list of billionaires worldwide, with his family’s assets valued at 4.2 billion dollars. His son, Lim Kok Thay, now leads Genting.

“Lim’s life is a story of rags to riches and it is hard to find a similar success story in this country,” Housing Minister Ong Ka Ting said at Lim’s birthday celebrations in April.

Born in 1918 in China’s Fujian province, Lim was 19 when he moved to Malaya, as Malaysia was then known.

He made his first fortune in heavy machinery trading after World War II, but struck it rich when he had the idea to develop a hilltop resort in central Pahang state outside Kuala Lumpur.

His vision for developing Pahang’s Genting Highlands hinged on building a road to the resort site 1,800 metres (5,940 feet) above sea level. He began work on the project in 1965.

Recounting a landslide that almost swept him away, he wrote in his 2004 autobiography: “Back home that night, I said to my wife that I had gone to hell, but was told to turn back and continue with my work.”

Lim completed the road and opened the casino in 1971. It became the flagship of his Genting group that took its name from the resort, which attracts more than 15 million visitors each year.

The group now has gaming operations in Malaysia and Britain, as well as casinos planned for Singapore and Macau, as well as interests in the leisure, power, oil and gas, property and plantation sectors.

Its Hong Kong-listed unit, Star Cruises, is the third-largest cruise operator in the world. Another subsidiary, Genting International, owns Stanley Leisure, Britain’s largest casino operator.

“My father has often reminded me that there is no shortcut to success,” his son Kok Thay said at the April birthday party.

Lim was married to Lee Kim Hua, with whom he had six children.

My condolences to our Malaysia’s reputable business leader’s family. Its a great loss of the Malaysia Business Community. I am sure that he will be well respected by all Malaysians, which he did Malaysia Business Society proud!

Unstable.

Before I start, just to inform that I have changed Yanling’s blog address in the MY FRIENDS Linkies. YJR please do take note of that. Alrights. Its Tuesday. I know. I found it so hard to get up this morning. I felt like sleeping on and on in my cozy place rather than rushing out in the morning for school. However, theres a time for rest and theres a time for work. So, its really an achievement to force myself up. Just do not know why I am kinda lethargic these few days. Life is so monotone. How to make it stereo? I think its my turn to implement the MIA Plan.

Rather, I was so drained by the time I sat on the bus. Closed my eyes and slept soundly till the school gate. Felt better. With Yanling, we “fought” through the “long” three hours of lecture. Its boring. Still, have to force ourselves to understand. In a moment by then, I realised, why are people around me becoming so moody. Everything looks like so dull. Of course, for myself, I also somehow and going to feel the same way. Life is becoming so dull. My goals and everything, look so numb and meaningless to me. When I study, I felt that the motivation was starting to leave me. Its quite hard to move on. Everything must make use of my “Aza Aza” mentality so that I can move on. However, whenever I am on my way home, my mind will starts to wonder. Thinking, and I mean deep thinking about my life and the lifes around me. Whenever I think of my wonderful family, it adds a little to my motivation and showed me a little of the direction in life. Whenever I think of my friends, its add a another little to my motivation and showed me a little of the direction in life. Whenever I think of the things happening infront of me, and the future I can be, its adds up to form another pushing force. Kinda making me forward. While I was walking, I will take a deep breathe and spread myself up (looking into the sky), telling myself, “Life is Wonderful”. Why should we be so stress about tiny things? Instead, we should do what we like and stay happy. Somehow, it really makes my day better in a way or so.

After studying for tomoro’s PBF test, went to Pioneer for dinner with Jie Xin again. Sometimes, its good to have some humourous friends. They really help you to distress from anything. Laughed everything out as you like. Its great and I always want to continue laughing. When you laugh, you are happy, you will not worry about anything that you used to worry. How I wish that I can continue to laugh. Laugh as if theres no tomoro, laugh as if theres no future. Laugh as if the world is of no existence. Hope that I can light up the candle of my life again, very soon, and I wish that my friends around me help me too. Help me to get out of the “growing darkness”.

Does this looks familiar Huh.

Health Is All That Matters

Imagine. One day, your parents or your family doctor rings you up in the midst of your happy moments. He or she said: “Hey, your medical report is out. You got diabetes”. What feelings will you have? How will you re act? I know, its just a blank on your big mind. Its pretty scary in that sense. Indeed, mum called while I was on the way home. “Hey Loon, your medical report is out already. The doctor said that your blood sugar content is high (which nearly got you diabetes) and you need to take one more hepetitis B injection. Also, the doctor said you got “Di Zhong Hai Ping Xue”. I was like, oh my god. What should I do? Moreover, I am on my way for my dinner. What should I eat? Ended up ordering Fish stuffs. Anyways, Mum told me over the phone, so I was not really clear. Shall return during weekends to clarify again. Moreover, I must go for Medical Checkup again. LOL. So scary. I think its pretty serious. Why suddenly like that? How I know?

Today was really a bluish day. Darn. Adding to the blues, Swee San smsed me early this morning telling me that she will not be going to school. And so, alone. Luckily Kuku came for school. If not, really need to Jie Ai Shun Bian le. Haha.

After lecture, went for lunch with Ramy and David. Lol. Thanks for accompanying me. Haha. Then waited for Kuku to release from her workshop. Study and study for Economics. So damn complicated. Lol. I used 5 Hours to do 4 stupid long questions. Luckily, I managed that on time. I was pretty stress now, cos I need to study the cost and production chapter. It seems like empty in my mind. I must study for econs by today. Cos from tomoro, I have to study for PBF, which theres a test on Wednesday. Hate test. But I heard its pretty simple, saying that theres IRR and theory questions. Shall chiong for it. Do my best and have a guage on where I am now.

Alrights. Shall end off here. Its POA tomorrow. Three tests in three weeks. Anyone?

The typical libra with some unique traits. Sometimes I do feel that I am probably too indulge in seeking perfection. The contentment in every single task that I am involve in seems limitless. Needless to mention though, the inability to generate swift and firm decisions has made the perfection less perfect of myself. My mind is an active organ, which makes me ponder alot. Only when I know life isnt that perfect, and when theres only typos-then we paint a life-graphy. Me, do not, cant ever, even understand myself, though. One thing is certain, what the future holds, is inevitably a mystery -sw
