Yixiang called me up last nite actually...
he told me to meet for coffee which i suppose someting happened... arrange to meet up chop chop... haha... den to realise some news.
Citibank is getting unreasonable now... he left, Da Nick left... but frm this meet up with him i realise Andy left too... not only that... YY Ng left long ago...
seems like citibank consumer banking is a failure after all... but somehow feel that Andy was wasted.. haiz...
Actually coming to tink about it... gd that they left... Banks are only for stuck ups... and bankers called themselve bankers are in reality mere product sellers... Lehman bros issue were no issues until these moroons tried to use it to meet thier quota... karma is here for them...
Meeting YY isn't a very rare ting... i guess 2 of us got together by real fate, as kuai lan we were back in sec sch days... we ended up the same initial passion (but i din sign on he did), landed in the same bank for awhile and now he's my colleague from Prudential...
from him, i really can see how SAF can mould a soldier or simply cause so much fear to their lives.
he's now taking all kinds of papers... all kinds of qualifications... the way he know about which papers is for wat is so scary... scary in the sense that each paper is a proof that the government can control him fully... but apprently i just feel like regular service as a non degree holder gave him lots of fear and uncertainty...
from him... i also understand that Prudential is actually a crap company... they neva take care of the agents... they focus so much on company growth... so much that they employ staff to be financial advisors, give them a fix pay expect to bring in sales and compete with their tied agents... which is horrible... cos our dear Mr Ng Keng Hooi has started to intro this crap culture Pru has into GE!!! no!!! i wan my identity, i wan my uniqueness... i wanna feel like working in a mont blanc store instead of being place in popular stationery dept...
sadly i guess GE's future is moving toward that direction....
today i also attended a meeting... den i realise how human emotions can make wonders and terrors... it's Prince of the wood casket again... from the looks and words used by others in the group, seems like he's spreading unhappiness again... that might be one of the reason y he have not much business coming in... den we realise his supposed princess isn't a simple person... she could control him so much that he's worst den a dog... oh man.. pru culture is scary... yeah a previously from pru agent stole his heart and common sense...
den happily, Ben's car agent called as if i owe them money... that Kelly ger took me like a god... the insurance god that can anyhow chop chop chop a cover note... and i feel like OMG!!!! funny ting is she threaten to call back Ben's vehicle... which i tink is the best option... wahah... though ben potentially will lose up to $10,000... but i know he will wanna lose this money... wahaha.. i said if she call back it be better... ben's ncd be protected... since that car was a 2nd hand despatch car anyway... by law we are rite... by morales, we are just returning a favour...
maybe some happy ting for today... i met can and went to grandma's... and when i finish ICT and all i will bring my mother there also... the food is fantastic, the ambience is great and Alfred was helpful... haha... shit got to watch my weight... it's actually a fight over my weight and the yummy curry chicken... wahaha... :P
at his place we tok about lots of tings... frm mas selamat to dengue fever... my assumptions that mas selamat was release on purpose, dengue fever as wat SB mention, singaporeans are targetted by terroist... many more... i even plan how my insurance benefit proceeds shld be claim and distributed so that if i'm really gone, my family can move up the financial ladder... =)
in any case... i hope this year i can be a self reminding person that "Energy is created within"
Happiness is the Key!!
cos i know i wanna be energitic and happy!!!
cheers... i'm going bangkok!! wonderful.. :P
love and peace

First Post
today, i re-consider the thought of writing my blog.
this is my 2nd blog entry since the one in 2005... which i also duno the add and details.. wahaha..
Who AM I.
My Name is Nicholas. as from the looks of my blog address, I'm a fighter... to be excat, a Taekwondo Fighter. of cos.. I love fighting.. so i dun restrict myself just to tkd, but also lots more others. while i have another Buddy Nicholas who also know as Da Nick, i'm proud to be Xiaofighter. i name me myself.
like any other man, i'm someone who talks about pride, ego and self esteem. i need all of them to feel good, behave well and perform well. therefore, if you happen to know me, give me more support, love and encouragement.
Taekwondo is my life, my passion, this is the 10th year i'm in the art, i still love to do so.
Beside training hard for the passion of my life, i later part found another love- Life Insurance.
Yes i'm a life insurance agent. i kind of refuse to say i'm financial advisor because eventually, all financial planning and financial tools links back to life insurance. and 'financial advisors' name themselves that because they refuse to admit they are 'insurance agents'.
therefore, for my colleagues who are readin this, fortunately or unfortunately, dun flame me. we have our own rights to choose the believe we what. ultimately, insurance agents of financial advisors, we are the same... if not we won't be taking the same examinations to enter the industry.
My Life
I come from a normal, not very rich not very poor family. i have 2 elder brothers, my mum, my dad, my sister-in-law and my notti nephew.
I have big dreams of moving my family from 'not very rich, not very poor' to moderate rich stage so that my parents can retire in peace. however, my brothers arn't supportive, my 2nd brother is quite a cynic, my eldest brother always thinks that i'm blinded by money.
my mother is happy to have few hundreds in her pocket, my father cannot have any money in the pocket.
all and all, i'm quite different in terms of behaviour, tinking and believe from my family members.
the only person so close to me is my notti nephew. he is Rui Jie, sometimes i wonder why his chinese name is not registered, no doubt he's Rui Jie. Big eyes, cute, handsome as he is, i hope one day he would really live the enriching life i did. from a noti young punk to a driven self motivated person.
but this again clash with his father's idea (my eldest brother). his father only want him to be one with EQ, good in studies, good student, good grade and a standard Singaporean which he himself is. though this were not communicated, i would tink this is what his intentions are and what i always disagree. kids must be notti, mischeviours and must make some really big mistakes and take responsibility before. only then growing up process is meaningful. the idea of protecting, educating, beating, are inpractical and does not build up the resilience of a person.
but i don't blame him, maybe all parents tinks like that. maybe i will behave the same if i'm in his shoes, but i must say that all life forms comes and goes in the simplest way. if we relate this to how a person grow up, i should say we must 1st accept that we are humans, therefore we must be daring enough to make mistakes, learn from it and be happy about it. prevent of mistakes and chasing after the idea of perfection is crap. but that's sadly wat the singapore's education system hope to achieve. they wish to blind people with knowledge, perfection and peace so that people all come out, get a job, pay tax and be in control...
well again, this is getting too much... before i get arrested for critising on the systems here... i shall zip... =X
but not forgetting, i love my nephew, he's the best guy... i'll train him for the way he is... BEWARE BROTHER! hahaha...
Purpose of my blog.
it a tool to kill time, a tool for someone who happen to find it, read it and understands me.
for someone who likes to know more about the inner me.
i also hope this could be a tool for some advertisements. some plain informative advertisements that people can into if they need help one insurance/investments advices, looking for computer DIY tips, martial arts training, car grooming and purchase bla bla bla...
i just hope to reach out to more other people about myself, the tings i do and the things i can do to help them. every human need one life insurance agent, need many friends, need money, need company and many other important desires. I can help in many areas of needs. =)
over here in this blog, i will also express my ideas. my ideas are mine. you have the right to express yours. dun start an arguement, start a compromise shall the ideas cant link. start a different direction if the ideas clash. in my books, anything can be right and can be wrong. it just depends on who, where, when, why and how one person can look at it.
I hope i would have the mood and energy to continue with this blog.
at the same time i hope this blog reaches to more people.
i hope people know me as Nicholas AKA Xiaofighter, the handy man!
Love and Peace,
Nicholas
