Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

I will be out of town for three days. How I wish I can celebrate Halloween but I can't. I kept on emphasizing last year that I wanted so much to dress up for Halloween but I didn't get a chance last year because I was in Army.

And this time around, I can't dress up as well, LOL.

Maybe Halloween isn't my thing.

Trick or treats?

Tell me who is Crystal Truehart and Kahlen and stand a chance to win $30 worth of KFC, erm, food. You can either write me to my email at issacritz@gmail.com or write in my guestbook and set it as a private entry.

Lost Representation

Through observing our surface level reactions it is possible to recognize where we are not often being true towards ourselves - we act out of a false self rather than letting our soul shine through.

I always feel that I am losing my trueself. I don't know who I am and what I am doing.

In situations where we are not true towards ourselves we tend to form an ulterior existence, a facade, a false image of ourselves.


But meditating helps me alot.

I'm not an angry person and many knows that. Its hard for people to see me getting angry or upset unless its a really terrible incident. I always supresses how I feel and that may make me lose my trueself.

In meditation we can find our attitudes, roles, beliefts begin to have less meaning and our true nature, our uninhibited self, begins to have greater meaning.

Everytime, after I knock off from work, I will take one hour time off to mediate.

Prior to discovering our true self thoughts and emotions are often perceived as elements that make up a great part of ourselves. However during meditation we become aware that thoughts and emotions are points on a spectrum and just illustrate some basic parts of ourselves, and not our ultimate true self.

I was restless for the past few days but I didn't show it on my face. I don't normally show people how I feel. Is that part of losing oneself by not showing your trueself?

However our emotions and thought-patterns arise from our fundamental beliefs about the world. Even while meditation might cause a transcendence in consciousness, it will not often cause a shift in general self-awareness from the first attempt.

As for now, I am happy with who I am and I believe in everything I do and not do anything I don't believe in doing.

Hayden and Jessica Alba in a commercial together. Can you imagine two hotties in one commercial together?

Happy One Year Anniversary

Hey baby, its been a year already. Today is our one year.

Happy one year anniversary!

And many many more to come.

We have been through many ups and downs together. We have been supporting each other in every way possible. We have been going out and spending many times together.

I love you baby!

I love you baby!

Growing...

I am growing. I am getting big. But I believe I still can rock the way I look. When I am happy I eat. When I get my pay, I eat because I am happy. When I am in love, I eat!

I eat everytime and I don't exercise. Yes, its unhealthy.

Give me a few more days.

I know, I have been emphasizing that I needed to cut down my weight. I will.

Give me time.

I am lazy for the moment.

Nobody Can Ever...

I am a very secrective person. I wouldn't tell my entire lifestory to people but of course only to my other half. Nobody knows who I really am.

The things I write in my blog are just half of what you may know about me.

I can keep secret really well unless the person has the same agenda as me. Nobody can ever decipher me, maybe only my family and other half. Apart from that, they won't know who I really am.

I am just Issac Ritz.

Wrong Assumption

I figured I was wrong, J.C students aren't at all arrogant. It depends on the individual and who I will come across with.

Today, just now, 10 minutes ago, a group of J.C students came and I thought they were the arrogant people but I was proven wrong. At first, they were looking for something but they didn't approach me so I thought they were too arrogant to even talk to me or ask me help.

I stood behind them. Then they looked around and saw me and asked me for help.

It wasn't that bad at all.

I was wrong. I shouldn't have judged.

A Day More

A day more to go to my overseas trip!

Two-Sides Of You

All of us have two personalities. One that supresses who you are in front of people creating a flawless you and the other is the real you, without people knowing or noticing, that you are the scheming, jealous person.

Everyone has that in them.

You behave in a certain way that makes people like you, ensuring that you are likeable, let it be at work or at school or outside facing strangers. First impression counts.

Name one person whom you know who does not have two-sides to him.

Think about it.

Tell me that you are not someone who has two sides of you.

Uninspired

I wanted to blog but then I was already uninspired. Thus, I decided not to and continue to watch youtube. I had a hearty chat with my darling and a short MSN with Lina.

I couldn't respond to Lina in time as I was alittle preoccupied.

I'll chat with you soon, again.

Friends...

I think I don't have friends; true friends, I mean except for Jaishree. Do I really have true friends?

Everytime I meet up with my other half, I kept on emphasizing to my other half on how pathetic I was to have no friends at all.

What is the meaning of a true friend? Are they someone that comes around when they feel like it, or are they someone that comes around on a daily basis? Do friends hang around you just because you have something that they want, or do they hang around you because they actually enjoy your company?

Now these are the questions I usually ponder. But at my current state, I don't really have to ponder.

Do friends let you make the wrong decisions, or do they do they try to give you a guilt trip to keep you from making that wrong decision?

I don't even know because I don't have any friends who allows me to make the wrong decisions, and correcting me or vice versa.

If you're a friend of mine, if you are someone who even bother to know or ask about my well-being, if you are someone who are friends to me because you are genuine and not those who sticks with me to get fame, please, send me an sms, or write me an email or sign my guestbook to at least make me know that I still have friends.

Because now, I think I don't have any friends.

This is not a post of people taking pity on me. I want to voice out my opinions and I want it to be heard.

Plus Size Models

Super skinny and super fat models are both unhealthy. Replacing one with the other doesn't mean anything.

Whitney Thompson, winner of cycle 10- of America's Next Top Model isn't really a plus size. She is too small to be a plus size. She is of an average size. Plus size is size 10 and above.

Of course, like duh, the lady in the photo isn't Whitney Thompson.

Fake From Real

Can the real governor SARAH PALIN please stand up?!

If you think these two photos are of the same person, they are not. One is an actress, the other is a governor and no, they are not related to each other.

Michelle Branch Is Dead

Michelle Branch is dead.

It's been 4 years already. She's dead.

Dead!

DEAD!

I am just assuming.

Its really a pity for such a great singer like her to leave this industry. I hate one hit wonder people.

3 Days More

I am going overseas in 3 days time.

I will be bringing my handphone with me but there will be no way I am going to answer calls.

Expensive!

Bleach 192

I have waited for so long, SO LONG for this episodes. The sideline stories are uncool. I prefer the fightings and boy was I surprised with this epsiode.

Espada number 3 was actually a little girl and she is on the good side!

What's Cool

What's cool?


I think friends who acknowledge my jokes are cool.


I think friends who joke with me are cool.


I don't like shy and reserve friends because they are close-minded thus they do not know how to appreaciate jokes I make let it be sarcastics ones or plain ones.

Yesterday, I served 2 customers, I think they were of my age a girl and a guy. The girl was pretty cool. I joked with her on a few of my products and she totally knew what I meant and laughed.

Unlike the other customers who might say, "Ok, lame..."

Instead she said, "That's some pretty cool tricks you have there."

If only every customers are like her, my life will be much easier.

I think cool doesn't neccessarily needs to refer to people who think they are good looking and glam therefore they are cool.

NO!

My definition of cool refers to a person or a group of people who appreaciates other people's jokes and they laugh at each other for making silly mistakes!

That is cool!

Just Deserve

I am going overseas in 4 days time!

But before I leave for my great escapade, I have to settle a few things.

I will bother to, everyday call MOM to order my previous company to give me my late pay. I will and must get back my 2 months salary!

And bloody hell, nearly everyone else got their salary back except for me. What is this? Probably I didn't really push them to get it back so its partly my fault.

So now no more waiting and time wasting!

The Dream

I woke up because I dreamt of Enya. I saw her. She's not dead. She's not dead. The first thing I did was to switch on my laptop and go to the internet.

I went to youtube and keyed in, 'Enya NEW'.

I scrolled through the results and elated I was when I saw Enya had a new MV.

YES, she is not dead.

Wait, the MVs could be produced months or years ago. What if she is really dead?

Finally, A Rest

I am going to have a good rest tonight.

New Management

I have stepped back abit at work because of some reasons. I love having a job in the sales line and I have always been very passionate with it because I get to see people, different kind of people with different kind of background. I love interacting with them.

I love seeing them entering the shop with a gloomy face then brightened up after I interacted with them and played with the products for them to see. Let me say it again, I love working in the sales line. And because I am an ambitious guy, I want to achieve more.

Before I started working in this job of mine, I told one of the managers that I want to climb high, let it be supervisor or manager. The first day, I impressed the managers with my gift of speech. Then I impressed the previous supervisor of mine with the highest number of sales I had within a day.

Then I impressed the merchandiser, followed by all my colleagues. Words spread and I somehow felt that I was being recognized for my work.

Now, I felt alittle disappointed because ever since the new nine people came, they took over our duties and thus they make us feel like we are doing nothing.

I, on the other hand, didn't want that to happen. I took all the tasks in my hands and delivered them promptly. But, all these - were my tasks and all the things I have done being recognized? I don't know.

I was leading, and I would love to lead but ever since they came, they lead the team leaving me to be at the sideline already. I was of course disappointed.

By bringing them to this line, do they even know that they make us, Singaporeans feel left out? By putting them here, how about the rest who have worked for months or even years and their positions are still being seniors and not supervisors, how would they feel?

Do they realized that by putting them, foreigners as in charge, in almost every outlet, make us feel incapable even though we know we can stretch beyond our limit?

I've decided to retreat for the moment and go under the radar as for no matter how much I do, I don't think they will recognize my efforts.

I know the merchandizer, and one of my colleagues from my outlet and another from another outlet will read this entry. I need to voice out how I feel. I need you to hear what I am feeling and thinking.

Don't you have to agree with me Y.N?

How would you feel if you knew you are shining and then suddenly, a foreigner took control of your shop, doing everything, leaving you powerless? How would you feel if you are being led by someone who think they have all the experienced but when they come to Singapore, they don't know about our culture, mess up our entire system and make it into their own?

How would you feel if you think they are taking away your desired position?

How would you feel?

I don't feel threatened by their presence if you all mistook my entry as me feeling threatened. No. I am feeling unappreaciated.

When I garnered tremendous wonderful sales for a day or two or three, they said nothing but when just two or three days of really bad sales and they make noise instead of giving you support like, "Hey, you can do better. You must say you can do it. I believe in you." But instead all I hear is, "Why your sales so bad ah? Must at least hit your minimum? What time already?"

See the difference?

Both are asking me to push for sales but which sounds like motivation and which sounds like pressurizing you?

Tell me.

I am still passionate about this job but at this rate, my passion is slowly dwindling.

Normally, nowadays, I don't write long entries because it is not a need. I write when I feel like blogging, I post photos if I don't feel like typing. I am inspired by myself and not others.

Thus, I am inspired to write this down because there is a need for me to be heard.

Words are powerful and if they are being used the correct way, they will create an impact on not one but many.

Now I am writing to make you feel what I feel.

What if you are no longer appreaciated? What if you think you are losing the battle?

What if?

Tell me, what if...?

Karma

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better. Only the one that
inflicts the pain can take it away.

Enya IS DEAD?

Can someone out there please tell me that it is just a rumour?!

Please, please...

If you do not know who she is, she is a new age singer and the screen saver that pops up everytime you leave your computer on, and when there's this song being played, its sung by her!

I bet you all remembered this song of hers.

Those who do not like her are opposing me.

She did not die, right?

Simply Black

Black makes me look slim. White makes me fat. But I love white more than black. Oh well.

I love this Nike shirt! Go Nike!

Which Is Which

With more and more milk products from China and Taiwan having problem. We really got to check where the things are produced.

Here is a way to differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products : by looking at first three digits of its Bar Code.

If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made.

If the 1st 3 digits are 471 – Taiwan made.

Tiring Week

Its been a tiring week and I am really losing my sleep. Even during off days, I have to back to my outlet to ensure that my colleagues are producing sales and ensuring that everything is in order.

Damn, I just need a rest.

The Bising Auntie

Michelle Chong was so convincing acting as a bising auntie!

Putting Yourself In Other's Shoes

Beyonce's new single gave a whole new meaning to all including me. It is a must watch.

Intimacy. Honesty. Commitment. You. Me. Us.

The Face Of Life

To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it
for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put
it away.

If A Vegan...

If you're a vegan, you aren't allow to eat meat, but are you allow to 'blow'?

Chocolate, Wine And Monopoly Night

Joanne, Eric, Aileen and I got together last Saturday tp play monopoly, drink wine and eat chocolates! They played mahjong before I came.

After work, I rushed to Eric's house to meet up with them. Upon arriving, Joanne told me to grab the food she had bought for me after I have settled down.

I must say, YUMMY!

They ended their game an hour later. Yawns! I don't know how to play mahjong.

After a tiresome wait, we finally started to play monopoly!

Pol Roger costing $150++.







In the end, I won. I had 100,000.00 Singapore Dollars and many properties. We didn't complete the game because they were hungry and they knew no matter what I will still be the winner.

We ended up having supper at the prata shop.

Prata! So sinful!

Sinful Supper

A few nights ago, my mum bought two hawaiian pizzas and a few drumsticks.

You know what? I ate them all!

How sinful can I be?

Sleeping Late

I have been sleeping late for the past couple of days and its draining my energy. I just finished doing 3/4 of my sales report. Very tedious job.

I am supposedly to have off today to rejuvenate myself but one of my colleagues fell ill so I had to cover for her. Its okay, I am really fine with it.

Hardwork will lead to something fruitful.

Its time for me to sleep. I have to wake up at 830 later which means I only have like 5 hours of sleep.

Orchard Getaway!

Eric and I decided to go to Orchard and watch movie.

I got two movie vouchers but they can only be used at Shaw Brothers. I didn't really check the logo properly so I went to Cathay at Cineleisure instead. I reached there, queued up and waited for my turn.

I still didn't get it.

When it was my turn, and when I showed the passes to the staff, they said, " These vouchers cannot be used here. They are from Shaw Brothers."

You know how embarrassing that was to me? LOL!



I can be so blond at times. I just said okay and walked away.

Then we walked to Lido and purchased our tickets there.

After that, we went to have our lunch. I was contemplating on whether I should eat mee rebus or KFC. After minutes of considerations, I chose to eat mee rebus.

And drank bubble tea!

Eric ate subway sandwich!

Big right? Its expensive though!

I can never take a proper photo where the people are always centered.
