I'm always wary of big long wordy titles, and titles where it just doesn't seem right. Coz if u can't call a spade a spade, then i believe u have something to hide.
an example.
Until a few yrs ago, we were calling insurance agents, guess what? insurance agents. now u see all sorts of weird titles in the classifieds - financial planner, wealth management, life planner, personal financial consultant, etc etc etc. come on... u don''t PLAN my finances, u don't PLAN how much i earn and spend. and i certainly don't have any wealth for u to manage. i don't want anyone else to plan my life, and i absolutely need no advice from a salesman how to spend my money.
that's wat they are anyway isn't it? just insurance salesmen. i guess we're used to calling them "agents" already, which in the legal sense isn't incorrect. after all, the insurance company is the principal, and the salesman definitely isn't going to pay out any of his commision money to you. planner? consultant? come on... at most u are an AGENT. it's the insurance company's big shots who PLAN wat investment-linked policies to con ppl with, and they CONSULT their bosses.
a nice sounding name might fool some ppl initially, but if u need to fool ppl, then what u are offering must be something undesirable in the 1st place. comprehend?

on another, grim note.
fear can drive one to do the unimaginable.
and i have done it.
a much younger me would have laughed evilly at the present me. a much younger me without fear.
i'm afraid.
I'd like to think that there is some method to my madness, some control in my chaos.

About Me
- Rockie
- Singapore
- A guy stuck in a university course he finds absolutely no interest in. A guy who wants a journal for his thots, to capture snapshots of his mind before he loses it to exams. A guy who loves variability and variety, who always yearns to wander everywhere, to expand his horizons. A guy who can't sit still, who'd rather be kayaking, trekking, diving, sailing, phototaking, travelling. A guy who irritates his frens to no end coz he's unable to sit still. A guy who find joy just standing on the peak of a mountain, overlooking rolling hills, lush jungles, wide open spaces. Or on a boat in the middle of the wide, open ocean. Or interactions with animals, wild or otherwise. A guy who wants to improve on himself, thus needs to record down his thots to find out how he can. Also needs an avenue to vent his negative thots. In short, just a guy, just slightly different from everyone else. >>>> Finally, he is free. and he can't bear to delete this, which is an entry itself.
