ABOUT ME ( PART III ) - ThatPatrickStar Blog has New Layout - Any Questions For me?

Hi mortals,

this blog has certainly come some way since it was soft launched. A bunch of you had been asking me you are known as Wei Lih in person usually,  Whats up with thatPatrick(star)?

Yes.. Emulating this funny character...

thatPatrickStar

Well known TV  Nickelodeon's Cartoon series " SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS " If you still have no slightest idea of what this, you must really be living in Bikini Bottoms - Under the Sea  all these years.


Now, I must say, if you haven't yet clicked on the above video yet, you should, cos i am going to throw u viewers:

A Challenge: Watch this whole clip without wiping off that smile on your face.
( Not exactly, b'cos I won't really have any proof whether you did smile ya.It will however liven up your day )


Now contrary to this interesting character, Patrick was never on my NRIC, the fact was that it was first conjuncture in here.

That was a Makeshift Starhub Promotion Booth (Bikini Bottoms under the Sea), in case you are wondering. And I am holding Cononut Juice (Pineapple)

I was the In-charge for the Booth on the contract exercise at that time. And there was this colleague who suddenly came up with a topic for thinking up English names for everyone. He claimed that usually when he sees a person, a suitable English name should be perfect for a person.


So he said:

You got the "Patrick face". (bear in mind Spongebob has not came out then)

So I asked him how does Patrick face looked like? He said,

"You look very technical, Someone into IT and honest type" .

Tribute To Bankers - Jessie J Price Tag

Hi everyone,

As you guys probably knew, I was an ex-banker before. This is a song where i will like to dedicate to all the bankers out there, especially to those friends that Iv known you and walked the path together with you..

With persevere and hard work, lots of blessings of luck, and  heart of ethicalness ~ I hereby wish all of you do well in your business . ☮

Jessie J - Price Tag ft. B.o.B.

This song speaks so true to my emotions as a Banker.

- Waking up a good early and reach the bank hours long before the sunlight even shine, ahead of the Bank's Offical Opening hours.

- Maintain a Cheerful Chirpy Smile and composure to the Tip top condition right till the day ends off.

- Facing different types of customers in the bank asking all customer related enquiries without the slightest hint you are a Insurance and Investment Banker, and after going through the toils and time for helping them and sharing with them, risk of them running away like salted eggs.  

- Last to leave the office and probably back at home when most of your family members could already be in their dreamland any other day, long long after Bank's Offical Closing hours.

Our Bankers' Woes only we know..  ☺ Cheers,

With warmest regards,
From the Desk of Patrick. I ❥ u all too. 

My Son Destin Wants To Eat Wasabi - I love Icecream - Learn the words ( Humour )

When my son was about 3 years old, we bring him to the Sake Sushi Japanese Restaurant.


He had not learnt what Wasabi ワサビ（山葵) was at that point of time, but less to know how it tasted like.


However he had just learnt what the word: Ice cream (アイス -Pronounced as Aisu) and knows how it tastes like.
Like all kids in the world, they adore ice-creams. (it is one of my fav food by the way)

Wasabi Jar on the Conveyor Belt in Sake Sushi

Like most Japanese Conveyor Belt Restaurant, this thing merrily roll along...
What is this? 

I asked my son Destin casually :

"Do you want this?"

Destin answered eagerly without thinking twice : 

" I want ! I want ! "

After scooping a teaspoon of this green stuff, I put the jar back.

Destin wasn't the least happy and he screamed :  

" So less, I want more, MORE Is not enough! "

I told him he will surely find it more than enough and he did not believed me at first... until,

when he got the first taste of it...  

☻

After that day, my son Destin learnt a new word, "Wasabi"
And you can bet since then, he is able to tell the difference between the both, Wasabi or Icecream, and how uniquely each of these tasted.

Wisdom words - Passion in what you do and Sadness of parting with someone close in family

Today, I have pleasure to see a Chief Operating Officer (COO) from a renowned Advisory Firm situated in Chinatown.

Booming with built and sturdiness, i observed he carried with him a Self -reflection Christian book in his hands.

Not to be mistaken by his huge status and figure, he is a guy full of soul and heart.. He left me with these words of wisdom.

"If a doctor is one who does not feel teary when announcing  the death of the loved one, do not engage him.

"Likewise, if an advisor were to attend a wake without feeling of crying, his services is not reliable too."

 This was briefly along the line of a loose translation of what he said, and I remembered he looked at me and asked if I understood...

I actually wanted to say  i... .. .. understood. Instead I choose to nod silently.


His name is none other than Mr Peter Teong.  He was the co-founder of an advisory Firm : Elpis Financial.

This guy's words keep me reflecting on my personal ...
My own dad had departed us on the uneventful day of 17 September 2010. His memory lived in the heart of us family members and his friends that had never die.

These days, whenever I saw Ambulances, I will still shook my head in dismay.

And I can't explained the numerous times where I just had to wake up in the middle of my sleep at mid hours of the night .. with thoughts of my dad distinctively, then for moments I had to adjust which was the reality and which was dreams...

I hoped the dreams were real, as it sometimes seemed like a minute ago... Because, then I could tell my dad how much I loved him and how much things I will like to do together with him and my brother when we all were around.

This could well probably one of the last vivid living hardest memory in our family's hearts. Just last week. I went back to my parents' place to stay. The light bulb suddenly just got blown while my mum was using the bathroom. I rushed to get the problem fixed. But somehow there will be this tingling thoughts between us brothers :

" Why doesn't bulbs go burst when dad was around"

Perhaps, when dad was around, things got fixed pretty quickly and we were always living in confort and tend to take things slightly for granted.



So , for those who had living parents, really,,  do not take for granted.
Bring them out for a visit in other countries if they liked travelling;
Bring them for a good treat if they like to eat. For we never no the uncertainties in life.

Treasure whoever/whatever/whenever you had presently.
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, Our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.


Make the Hopes of Today become the Reality of Tomorrow. Start planning today. 

With warmest regards,
From the Heart of Patrick. I ❥ u all too.


PS:  Should you be interested to meet this great man, Mr Peter Teong I was telling you about, I will be most pleased to link him up. He is currently in the business of turning hopes into reality with the right financial and wealth planning available.

Sick with Flu Cough - Home Remedy - Honey Lemon ♨

Warning: The following is a Recipe.

Hi mortals,

Lately, B'cos of the poor weather, my wife got down with Common flu.

Poor Wife

and such virus you know spread very quickly... and I am down with a very Bad whopping Cough. Those that when I sleep my lungs also feel like squeezing me out.

I never like to eat Western Medicines since young. As I believed it makes me grow disorientated and restless.



So I went browse through the Web and looked for remedies to treat cough.

2 main ingredients kept pop out.

Lemon

Honey

Now most of us will CUT the lemon and squeeze it to get its juice, right?
(Ie: When you go to coffeeshop, the coffee auntie will do the same)

However, after more extensive research, I also learn that cutting the Lemon Peel may release enzymes recently found in the rind of many fruits, and these enzymes may change some costituints of the Lemon juice.

So, I have gone valleys and hills to extract to present to you the Original Receipe.

The Long Forgotten Folk Remedy For Cough Cure - Honey Lemon. ✌

❇    ❇    ❇

1. Fill a can with water and put a middle or big sized Lemon.
2. Leave the can to boil for about 10-15 minutes till it bocomes soft but intact.
3. Take the Lemon and squeeze it to extract its juice.
4. Clear the juice or filter it.
5. Add the juice to 1/2 cup of honey ( or about 60 ml).
6. Serve 2 teaspoons with 1 cup of water.
7. You may store the remaining in a jar. :)

❇    ❇    ❇

Try making and leave comments how does it taste and whether it helps. :)

With warmest regards,
From the Desk of Patrick. I ❥ u all too.

I received this Little Leaflet on my doorstep - Jurong Town GRC - Strange Portal Like Maplestory?

Hi mortals,

If you are living around the Jurong Town GRC neighbourhood, chances are you would have received something stuck on your doorstep today, typically like this.

No, not another typical advertisment

 
In fact, it is an official book by the Jurong Town Council. Entitled:
Our Jurong Lake Story, Let's ride the wave of Transformation.

Offical Documents

In this comprehensive booklet, there are lots of interesting pictorials showing the highlights of growth in our neighborhood within the next 15 years.

In fact, I find it was very well conceptualized, with the artists' impression looking so damn realistic. (Obviously, because a lot of these structures are not even yet existing.)

Click it for view much clearly.

As I was happily enjoying these pictures leisurely, this page caught my eye.
The heading read : Gateway between Bukit Batok and Jurong East Town.

Wow, i was thinking to myself.
Gateway!?! Did I read correctly? Yes It says Gateway!

Well done , thank you my MPs. That means I will be able to "transport" from my home to my parent's home in double quick time. Kind of like a Portal eh?

Singapore is really a great home to live in, where our society lives up with the latest and highest level of technologies.

I am imagining myself able to teleport away.
Just like in some fantasy MPORG Game.

With warmest regards,
From the Dreamland of Patrick. I ❥ u all too.

Searching For Jobs Hunting Career Recruitment Agencies Journey ✍

Hi folks,


This is a continuation PART II from previous. Read more about it first.


I decided to find a job fast, took no chance and make a trip down to the individual recruitment agency instead; I targeted Tanjong Pagar as a destination as I briefly remembered there is Kelly Services and Addeco Branches there.

Upon reaching the Tanjong Pagar International Plaza, I approached the security counter.

Security Guard

 

 

Trying my luck taking an easy way out, I asked: "Hey, do you happen to know which floor are the recruitment agencies."


The security guard answered: Work agencies right? "Oh you head up to the second floor through the escalator, there is a bookstore "

As I slide up the escalator, I also began to wonder since when recruitment agencies are housed in bookshop one...

I identified a Indian Run Stationery store on the second level. Asked the Encik mending the store and he handed me a list. As his fingers pushed it into my hands, it was tight too, at the same time, he mouthed: "50 Cents"

I was like wow.. and exited the store. Preferred to stare at the noticeboard myself to guide my own way.

Goodness, these guys are clever. They learnt to work together, purely in cahoots.


Due to the time constraint, i only visited Kelly 2 branches. However after I went back home, did my homework and found this.

Here I am, as I am nice, I will be sharing this with you...
The Magical Scroll to your rungs of employment ladder, the key that opens the door to success. Well.. its 50 Cents worth of Info.

Here goes... If should this list below helped you in anyway, I will be most glad if you feel like it and treat me some kopi ya.
