Me, On My 41st Birthday

I started this post sitting on my throne (Drafting it on the Blackberry and shitting...of course) on Sunday night, 29th August 2010 when a "Facebook friend" wished me Happy Birthday...2+days before my 41st Birthday...in my Birthday Suit...kekeke...

Yup! I'll be 41years old in about 50+ hours.

Nope! Nothing much has changed over the last twelve months...except you know what...

'

Err...what? You don't know?

'

Well, in a nutshell...from 1st September 2009, I've resigned from G2, started a Facebook account, left G2, started this blog, started Be-Actu8, started a Twitter account, planted a lot of Durian seeds, got the Sanng Funn Shue job (mostly caused by Internal Misalignment) & finally, I'm still 0 of 14 on World Cup & Euro Pool (Arghh...!!!).

Here, apart from writing this post to commemorate this special day, I would like to pay tribute to those significant people in my life...

My Wife, Ginnie. We share the same Birth-Date (Different year...of course)! Therefore, H@ppy Birthd@y to you too, my dear! Thank you for supporting & putting up with me all these years! Love 'ya!

'

My Daughter, Hong Yue. Female version of Mini-Me...scary thoughts...hehehe...hope she'll read this one day..

My Family, My Mom, My Brother & Sisters and their other halves. They kept my feet on the ground.

'

My In-Laws. They love me the same, just like one of them.

'

My ex-Bosses & ex-Colleague in PB&F. They provided me with opportunities to shine!

'

My ex-Colleague in G2. They gave me the platform to achieve greater heights...in fact, I was awaken by their actions...helped me reach a certain level of enlightenment.

'

My ex-Clients that are still in BATM. They trusted in me & my capabilities.

'

My ex-Clients that have left BATM (Some of them remained my close friends & some...ahem...I'm working with currently...). They too played an important role in supporting & believing in me.

'

My Friends & Heng Dai. They played an important role in helping me through the years...providing the "Ears" during Yam-Cha sessions...kekeke...

'

My Followers on ChunToiCracks. Thank you for Bei Minn (Give face..)...

'

No matter how you look at it, which angle you are looking at it (Covering All Angles...kekeke...), I am one damn lucky 41years old dude!

Thank you all!!! Without you, there's no me.

'

Without a doubt, there have been UPs & DOWNs over the last 12months...but that's Life!

'

I know I'm still a Chun Toi with Cracks as I've yet to achieve some of the goals that will truly mark my existence in this insane world...

'

And I'm not talking about the amount of money I make or my career / job successes as I believe those will be there as long as I don't change (down-grading) my principles toward life...I know I can't be bringing those into the coffin when my time comes.

'

I'm referring to the Intangible Success...knowing those that I've put in effort in guiding & even trained, have their own success stories...

'

Too far fetch? Maybe...but that is still one of my biggest & most important goals.

Ironically, I'm completing the draft exactly where I've started some 30+ hours later...butt naked...kakaka...

'

My Birthday wish? Hmmm...not telling...kekeke...but I'm posting this after 12mn, 1st September 2010 to mark the occasion.Happy Birthday to me...although I'm older, definitely wiser but I am still me, a Chun Toi with Cracks....now, back to work...there's a presentation tomorrow...another Durian tree...

P/S:

I'm leaving this quote created by ChunToiCracks while giving someone an advice - "Don't even think about Exceeding expectation when you can't Meet expectation because you are not even Managing expectation properly!". I've actually posted this on Twitter & Facebook a few days ago...
