Internet Courtesy

Just wanna have an entry with regards to internet courtesy.

MSN, email have been a bonus for me, enabling me to communicate with others back home, finding out what is going on with my family and friends.

However, often there are conflicts and misunderstandings because there are no body languages behind that window that we are typing our conversations.

personally, I reckon is always courteous to start an email with "hi" and sign off at the end rather than just "answering" the question straight to the point. It seems rude to me.

I realised i have to be careful conversing in MSN as well, we just can't assume everything, especially passing a message. People changed when you don't see them physically after so many years and I may say ( or should I say "type") something that the other party at the other side of the world doesn't like. I don't blame some internet users for being fake sometimes cos humans are just unpredictable.

just on the other note, never never take the other party for granted (applies to me as well). Family and Friends are there to help you, make suggestions but not decisions for you. Ultimately, you need to know what you want and what you need.

bad day.
slack day.

Did not use the brains that I have again. Printing Issues.

Phonecalls, Conversations. not good. . . . . . .

Happy 2008!

Had a great New Years' Eve celebration.
No fanciful partying. But a night out with Denise. In our Max, having KFC. waiting for the fantastic fireworks display at Pyrmont / Darling Harbour / Circular Quay.
Couldnt have asked for more.

City was in a chaos but stable situation. 1 million people attended the event. Not a bad decision to drive around. Certainly there were traffic jams, but not as bad as I thought to be. More for human jams scrambling for public transport and non-stopping cabs. just have to keep a look out for strayed pedestrians crossing the roads in the city. Authorities were spot on in controlling the traffic.

Overall, it was a good night out. Being in the crowd but at our own comfort cos we have MAX.

on for the new year. I feel good about 2008.

We already started planning for our trip back to Singapore. Update further when details are confirmed.

*everything happens for reason. in 2008, WE will make it happened!!!*

Last Day 2007

is the last day of 2007.

life has certainly changed for me. got a job as a traffic engineer. got a car. 2 cars in fact.
moved a couple of times. many great events happened. good and bad. new places are explored. new friends (not many) are known.

what made me remember 2007?

Graduation
Family Visit> had a great time.
Cardno>new Collegues>pay rise>events>pissed off times>good times>
Justin Timberlake > great concert. I think he's just fantastic. cant help watching his DVD over and over again. (sounding a bit gay already isnt it).
Britney Spears. for all the wrong reasons
Man Utd lost the very 1st time I watched them live this year. which is 2 days ago.
Experience Climate Change. I must say> We did our part for the environment this year.

2008. What will this year bring us? what do I feel like getting in this brand new year. nope. not new year resolutions. as Denise says. resolutions don't work.

Family and Loved Ones to Stay Healthy & Safe;
Career>What I really want. not just keep on climbing> but improve technically. on the way to becoming indispensable. quite a long way;

Work towards a better life for us. not just a "getby" everyday life. not just a life in the scene. but something useful. connecting with the world. not just stuck in my comfort zone. did anyone say that areas outside the comfort zone are uncomfortable? you never know until you try it. expand the zone;

as always. never never do things twice. even small/minor issues.
think before action. think while action-ing. we've got brain. USE it.

What will surprise me in 2008?
Marriages> Brother Polar. any surprises?;
My Newly Renovated Home in McNair, Singapore;
How are we improving;
Us;
Myself.


Greetings from Clement & Denise:

Have a happy 2008 guys. May this year be a brand new beginning for you. a brand new start for those who wants a change.

until next year.
have a good one.

cheers =)


(I'm off to the fireworks in the city.. is gonna be squeeeeeezy!!)

ifs, whys, how comes?

questions that are not asked, questions with no answers. questions which only feelings can answer. questions that can made you bad tempered, angry or even hurt.

good actions are often over-looked by bad actions.

questions are always asked about the wrong things you do.

often, being the good leads to a praise.
being the good often leads to taken for granted.

2 more days to the New Year. things are not occuring as expected. no questions asked. no assumptions made. just taking for granted everything will just fall into place.

why? how comes?

CHERISH. no one knows whats happening the next minute.

You can't be forgiving, unless he/she gives you the opportunity.

works both ways. give and take. 2 hands to clap.
