Why Transformers & Humans behave so similarly?!?

Recently i was being spied by someone i have always respected as a good customer, good fren, good mentor.. stole my info & spread to someone else.. she's behaving so weird recently.. the way she talks.. the way she response when i look str8 into her eyes.. damn!! Feeling so betrayed!!

nvm.. thru this lesson.. i've finally seen the real heart of this lady tat i've always respected.. look so normal infront of you.. gather all the info from you & sell it to another person for her own benefits.. to show how smart & impressive she was to others...

Lost all my trust for her..

End of all these SHIT!!

Watched Transformer on sat nite with WQ & EC.. Overall nice movie.. but ending was kind of too rush!! had a bad headache after the show (Probably due to too much of booming)!! Part 1 seems much better after all.. shall be looking fwd to Transformer Part 3 :)

Super Long Day!!

Woke up @ 645am.. quickly Shower, Iron my clothes, had my breakfast & went out @ ard 735am..

i rmb there's a direct bus from my hse to Henderson.. Bus 65.. i knew it was a super long ride.. so brought my Eee PC along to do my work..

its was a 1.5 Hr Bus ride from Tampines to Henderson.. Nearly Puke!! @ ard Kaki Bukit estate, comes a Bangala sitting beside mi.. supervisor me doing my work all the way from Kaki Bukit to Somewhr after Bugis.. he was looking @ my screen like im doing something so interesting to him.. as the bus rock & rock & ROCK.. i believe he didnt have his breakfast.. if not he would have puke!!

... Back to 18 Yrs ago ...
Tat time i was in my Kindergarden.. I'll Puke everyday when im on the stupid school Bus.. always need to bring a red plastic bag to contain my vomit!! my parents laughed @ me.. esp my mum.. always say i very lousy.. take bus oso vomit.. travel on car oso vomit.. on boat oso vomit..

Since Six Yrs old.. i've trained myself not to vomit on another travelling journey.. now i can read on any car.. any bus & some boats without vomitting.. I even learned some accuppressure points to clear the sick feeling when im hit by it again..


End of my NONSENSE & Back to my day!!
Reached Tajima @ 945am.. Collected my 4 CDs tat worth $XX,XXX.. the 4 most exp CDs tat i've ever handle in my entire 24 yrs..

while waiting for my machine arrival, I arranged with Ms Ai Lin to teach me how to use the Tajima Pulse Software. Mr. Myo Emailed me the instruction manual for the software this afternoon. 620 PAGES!! Damn!! for someone like me, who hated reading so much, Dozed off after reading afew pages..

Probably juz take note of all the keyboard shortcut functions, some of the basic functions, the rest of the important stuff.. leave them to Ms Ai Lin to teach me!! haha..

Durian Trend in Singapore!!

was having dinner @ Tampines 8XX coffeeshop wif my parents & bro this evening.. comes a chinese man, gng from table to table, selling his durians. manz.. i dun think anyone eating in a neighbourhood would feel like buying some durians while having their dinner?!? somemore he was selling @ quite a high price.. I think was $12-$15/Durian!!

Last nite, my bro brought back 1 big over-ripe durian from his in-Laws' hse. while watching TV @ his In-Laws' hse, come a china man selling Durian from door to door.. Bro's Mum-in-law bought 3 Pieces of the durian from him for $48!! to make the customer feels better, the china man gave her 1 more durian FREE!! so 4 Durians for $48!!

i dun think these ppl have any license to sell durian in Singapore.. Now Weather so HOT.. I think they sld sell Watermelon.. probably can sell better :)

Priceless Gift from Mr. Myo :)

After Bargaining wif Mr. Myo for 3 Rounds, Finally we closed the deal!! I didnt bargain so much for the prices, but for everything tat will help me perform better using this new machine!!

the only price bargain was... Cylindrical Frames.. Full Set worth $2K+... Mr. Myo Wanted to give me a 50% discount.. I was so tempted for this offer.. called my mum.. mum rejected 50% offer..

mins later.. Closed @ $6XX. Ard $7XX after GST. SO HAPPY!!

while Ms Ai Lin is showing me how to use the Designing Software, Mr. Myo Surprised me wif a Priceless Gift!! Something tat even you have $$ also cant be purchased in Singapore!! Love Ya Mr. Myo!! haha..

2nd Appointment with Mr. Myo on Fri!!

on the 1st appointment, its kinda rush for both Mr. Myo & I. he didnt have any time to prepare any sample demo for me to see.

This time i scheduled an appointment wif him this fri morning. confirm enough time for him to prepare his demo.

Here's my Pre-Purchase checklist!! (after in the embroidery biz for 4.5 yrs)
  • Make sure i'm looking @ the current model & software
  • Noise Level when stitching @ high Speed
  • Thread breakage
  • Thread trimming
  • Neatness of trimmed thread ends
  • Stitch quality / tension
  • Registration - how well do borders match up with filled areas
  • Change-over time from garments to caps and method
  • How easy is it to load a cap into the cap frame
  • What speed does the machine run on caps
  • How does it sound running on caps
  • Thread breakage on caps
  • Needle breakage on caps
  • Can it stitch small characters as small as 3-5mm??

During my 4 days of intensive research, i came across 70 - 80 different experts.. successful ppl in this biz all over the world. consolidated all their tips when choosing a new commercial embroidery machine.

in 2001, i saw this young couple (25-28 Yrs old) rented a little shop @ Beach Rd Army market doing T-shirt embroidery & printing. I was only 17 yrs old den, was so impressed by their passion. Aimed to be like them when im older. During my past 4 days of research, i learnt tat they have closed their little shop @ beach rd & moved to an industrial warehouse. they currently own a multi-head Tajima Embroidery Machine (Probably a 12 Head machine), & some other big big machines..

Manz.. in juz 8 Yrs!! this 2 young couple's Biz grew so fast!! Now my new Aim in life is to follow the footstep of them :) I believe i have the passion as strong as them in this Biz. when i get older.. muz find 1 day go make frens & lakopi with them!!

2009 is Making lotsa ppl Rich all over the world!!

Oh man... 2009 maybe a bad yr for some ppl, but its a good yr for a higher % of the ppl all over the world.. i believe thousands of ppl are becoming Millionaires Daily since the start of May 2009!!

In Singapore alone, I believe there will be @ least 10 to 20 (Max. up to probably 100/day) New Born Millionaires daily.. from Now till end of 2009!! thousands of Singaporeans are making over $50k daily, simply buying some shares in the morning & selling them off before 530pm in the same day!! $50k is probably a 2 yrs pay of a fresh grad (Of Cos after Deducting CPF & Paying Income Tax).. Old uncle & aunties selling Prawn Noodles in your neighbourhood Coffeeshop maybe making more than $50K Daily..

You may notice some uncles & aunties selling Char Kway Tiao smiling so happily to you when u juz buy a plate of Char Kway Tiao from him or her.. but actually they are earning maybe $20K from the Stock Market everyday.. Selling Char Kway Tiao is juz their Passion.. they love to cook & serve you.. So pls smile to uncles & Aunties, when the serve you wif a smile :)

I wan2 Blog & rmb these cos I've got a feeling.. some of my frens(Aunties & Uncles) have joined the Millionaires Association in Singapore last month.. everyone were smiling so happily.. by end of 2009, there sld be ard 300,000 millionaires in Singapore!!

I WANT a 15-Needle Barudan Embroidery Machine!!

this yr, 2009!! I WANT to achieve a 15-Needle Barudan Embroidery Machine!! was talking to my mum 1 hr ago.. told her that my bro & me informed BROTHER (Company Name) to let us noe if they are selling off their Demo Unit PR-620 Embroidery Machine. We are willing to take in..

I tot her response will be,"WTF?? u wan2 buy another machine again?? Whr got space?? dun waste $$ LAh!!".. Instead her response was,"The Brother Sewing machine is not meant for large quantity sewing.. cant last long 1.. if wan2 buy, buy an Industrial Machine!!" Wah.. her response surprised mi!! now i can start planning wat i can do wif this machine.. need a Biz Plan.. Need to find Space!! need to think lotsa lotsa things!!

I probably wont be getting married soon.. wont be buying any houses (Houses are so Ex in Singapore!!).. Muz well i get sth i've always wanted & love to do since.. est. 5 yrs ago!!

My Dream Machine!! 15-Needle Barudan Embroidery Machine!! in coming closer & CLOSER into my Life!!


I WANT YOU!!
