Sundays...

I've not had a sunday sleep-in for the last few months! besides work, paintball now rules our sundays. My sleep-ins, long lazy late lunches, and Coffee at Starbucks have been replaced with the words "GO! GO! GO!", "COVER ME!", and "JWAN!! RUN NOW!" yelled at me, big bruises, mosquito bites, and crawling in the dirt. But no one's really complaining, sundays have never been this much fun. Not only do we get to experience what its like being in a battle and inflicting pain on other people without serious repercussions, we're also blessed to experience a strong sense of camaraderie, learning to trust your teammates, build teamwork, learning to take & shout commands, and truly understanding the phrase "its about the man next to you..." (last bit was a tad corny, forgive me!).

We're now proud to be apart of HAMMER Special Operations Division. A renowned team in the recball scene that places high emphasis on objective based & strategic game play. HAMMER is led by the very capable Frank Edison (who'd probably make a good general in the army!), you would've probably heard of his voice before even meeting the man himself. Our game play has seriously improved since coming under Frank's command and playing alongside our fellow HAMMER mates. Our games are generally open to anyone keen to learn more about scenario paintball or to have great saturday/sunday fun. Anyone interested, can drop me a mail.

Here's some snippets from an article a colleague of mine came across recently from Yahoo! Personals, makes me wonder what he was doing surfing Yahoo! Personals though...
The article written by David Wygant highlights points in courtship and relationships in general that i have been preaching & practicing for years! So, for all the men who are having problems "holding on" to their partners, read and learn. If you're doing the same thing as you've always done in your previous relationships, you're gonna be faced with the same problems again... So i leave you with a quote my mum uses very frequently on me... "For Things to Change, I Must Change First". Try out some of these pointers, you've got nothing to lose.

10 Signs you're being needy:
by David Wygant.

1. You just walked a woman to her door at the end of a date. Instead of kissing her, you ask her if she had a good time. Women are attracted to confident men. They don't want to have to tell you that they had a good time on a date... they want you to be secure enough in yourself to assume that they had a good time.

2. You called a woman last night and she has not yet called you back, so you either email her or call her again to ask her if she received your message. If you want to push her away, this is one of the best ways to get her to quickly run away from you.

3. You start texting a woman you just began dating five or six times a day. You are over-texting her. You don't need to check in every two hours. That's a sign of neediness and clingy behavior that turns women off.

4. You miss a call on your cell phone from a phone number that you don't recognize. You call the woman you're dating, and to whom you talked just two hours before, and ask, "Did you just call me?" This kind of behavior is going to push and scare her away.

5. You agree with everything the woman you're dating says. Women are not looking for a man who agrees with everything they say. Women want a man who challenges them and from whom they can learn. When a man agrees with everything a woman says, he is telling her that he'll do anything to have a relationship (which is another sign of being needy).

6. The woman you're dating is out for the evening with her friends. She promised to call you when she got home. It's getting late and you haven't heard from her. You just can't resist and you call her cell phone several times until she answers it. This is a sign of being needy and insecure. She's out with her friends... not out with another guy. Let her have some personal space and she'll respect you more.

7. You are too available. If you have plans with a friend, keep those plans even if the woman you're dating asks you to do something that night. Women don't want men who are like a 7-Eleven -- convenient and ready 24/7.

8. You try to please a woman all the time. I'm all about men doing nice things for women, but she has to earn it. Some men will let a woman walk all over them, and then continue to be a sponge and allow it over and over again. Stand up for yourself and she'll respect you more. Letting a woman walk all over you is a clear sign to her that you're needy.

9. Don't be afraid to challenge a woman. If you don't agree with something a woman says, don't just sit there and agree with her thinking it's what she wants. Women are looking for someone who is going to stimulate their mind... not bore them. Women are not turned on by men they can completely control.

10. Be the man! Have a plan and stick with it. Women like men who plan out evenings of fun. Don't always ask a woman what she wants to do. Listen to what she likes when you're having conversations with her, then come up with a fun plan that you will already know she'll like. A needy man will do whatever a woman wants. A man of action will create plans for what they will do. Being a man of action will lead her to find you a lot more attractive in the long run.

To all the men/boys out there, good luck! on a closing note, i leave you with a quote by David Wygant:

"NOTHING TURNS A WOMEN OFF MORE THAN A GUY WHO IS REALLY NEEDY"

Mini Family Reunion

An aunt from the land of cockney accent, football hooligans, wet weather, and good-looking princes made her bi-annual pilgrimage back to mother land last week, so a small family reunion was organized in her honor. It was also very nice of cousin Falan & Family to make the trek from Singapore & Penang to join us. Though the room at the chinese restaurant in Jaya33 was freezing, it was a nice warm feeling (possibly due to the alcohol!) for the cousins to meet up again, brings back sweet memories. We were all very close in our younger days, spending countless days terrorizing the quiet neighborhood of Miami Beach & Tanjung Bungah Penang. aaah.... those were the days.

It was also my nephew Tommi Kit Chan's 6th Birthday. Although extremely tiring, having the two nephews Naomi Lyn and Tommi Kit Chan around kept us busy. My two nephews also served as a gentle reminder to the amount of effort needed to raise two growing kids... respect to all the mum and dads out there. I sincerely hope my future wife, mom, and mom-in-law, do the honors of looking after my kids as they grow up... i don't think i can handle the stress! forgive me.

Never a dull moment with the Chan side of the family!

72hrs work, 3hrs sleep.

A recent work engagement saw the team from 360 spending in excess of 72hrs on location... tiring as it was, it did provide for some healthy doses of laughter and some amazing photos.

the beginning...

All the fuss about bloggers has enthralled me to jump on the "BLOG" band wagon as well, and this first post marks the beginning of demon-created.blogspot.com. Many a soul has told me that blogs serve as an online public diary or a medium of self expression... i'm still trying to grasp the idea of penning my thoughts and actions on a public forum for all to read. I guess in a way, this blog could serve as a way of sharing information, pictures, thoughts etc with friends. And through this blog, hopefully i have a means of expression without repercussions, a sedate way of dropping hints to selected parties maybe? But mainly to act as a diary cum memory storage box for myself as i'm known to have quite a selective memory.

Watch this space... as this big-kid is about to start blogging...

cheers!
