Thank God It's Friday =)

Well how bad a week can be, it has gotta be coming to an end when it's a Friday .. TGIF !!

YZ's aunt from Singapore will be coming over this Sat, will get to spend some time with them, most probably be bringing them to shopping =) Can't wait for my next vacation in Langkawi, coming Mon - Wed. Really hoping for some good rest, and to re-charge a little ..

Well highlight of the week will be Den Nee's wedding. Will be a 'heng tai' this Sunday, will surely enjoy it, especially the rest of the 'heng tais' are also very very cool people. YZ will help to take some photos, then surely I will post them here ..

So basically my vacation starts today till next Wed =)

The last time I really enjoy myself was at the MPE event in Sepang International Circuit. Which after that I have so many reports, so many meetings, and so many appointments right after. What made it even more special was the opportunity to trash a Merc in SIC. Never imagine myself driving one in SIC, with speed of 200 km/h (Not even the top speed yet) and cornering at 130 km/h. Kinda like having a drifting practice in SIC when I heard the tyre sounded like losing it's grip =) Wow what an experience !!


Superman driving instead of flying =)

Nice colour = Blue =)

Garage full of amazing cars =)

So my next post will be after my vacation in Langkawi =)

Have a great weekend yo !!

I hope things will improve =)

I must admit, lately it has been very bad for me .. and I seriously pray that this is ending soon.

Last 2 days I actually got some good rest, at least the body feels better now. Will be resting more, at least a good start to get back on track. As for work, after all the rush, I kinda felt that I'm actually very free for yesterday & today. So I decided to take this time to do some housekeeping, some filling, and some planning for the week. Just can't waste time when suddenly I have the time =)

The week also started with some good notes, first I was blessed with 2 pens (Thanks PS), then a pda leather casing (Thanks YB & MK). Wonder if there're any more blessings coming to me this week, ha ha ... trying to push my luck a little =)

But at the same time I decided to put my camera on hold, just don't have the $$ to get that fellow at this moment =(

It has been a great year, and I hope to finish the year this way. Will be taking life a little easy for the rest of the week, to ponder about something, and also to count my blessings. I realised I fail to count my blessings lately, only complaining about things I'm not getting ... It's never too early to count your blessings you know, even if thanksgiving is not so near yet .. ha ha ..

For those of you that prayed for me, thanks & please continue ... For those of you who have not started praying yet, start now, what are you waiting for =)

God Bless & have a great week !

Friday without a single pen =(

Came into the office this morning and all my pens are missing !

I already knew that the number of pens on my desk is becoming lesser and lesser, I lost some of my favorite pens too. I thought to myself, it's ok, just use some of the free pens that I received from roadshows, from banks ... etc. But but ... now not even a single pen is found at the pen case !

My life is like that lately, all my time taken away from myself, little by little. Time devoted to some of the things that I love to do, taken away slowly by my career, family, relationship ... etc. It's a clear sign that very soon, I will have no time to myself anymore. Nil ... Zero ... Kosong !

This calls for an immediate change of system, have to really sit down and start designing a new system before I lose everything I love, everything I have.

My time is not free, at the same time, my pens are not free too !! Please don't take it for granted.
( Anyone is good enough to bless me with some new pens ? )

Wish me luck guys =)

Eric's formula of success ... or is it a proven theory ??

This is the road to success for all Malaysians ... or is it only a dream ??!!

First you work so hard, your boss likes you so much because of your work productivity ...
Then you work harder and your boss loves you so much because you've improved ...
Then your boss gives you more responsibilities because you are reliable, and you can produce good results ...
Later when you perform well, your boss adores you ...

Then your boss gives you more, even though your boss knows so well you cannot do 3 person's job, anyway your boss still give more ... and more ... more ...
And due to workload you cannot give quality results, and the responsibilities continue to get bigger, and everything is urgent ...
Then you cannot cope with the expectations ...
Then your boss said your performance is getting bad, better buck up ... and sorry, no headcount, so be prepared to work like this for some time ...

Finally you are burn out, sick of working under such pressures, and proceed to try other jobs, and the whole circle starts again ...

So be smart, plan your growth the first day you start work, spread out your improvement for at least 10 years, this way there will be constant growth, and constant increment ...

Malaysia boleh!!

Masa tidak cukup .. =(

Just came back from vacation, and another one coming end of this month =)

Yes lotsa travels for year 2006, and I think I may have somemore in Dec.

Life is a little busy lately, with work & relationship most of the time.

Busy with work because of many things, budget for 2007, planning for 2007 ... cost reporting, monthly presentation ... bla bla. Busy with relationship also as YZ and I spend lotsa time together lately, and it's a good thing, I am enjoying every minute with YZ.

I would say my time is separated into 5 major parts now ..

1) Work @ Career ( 35 % )
2) Relationship ( 25 % )
3) Family ( 20 % )
4) God or God's work ( 15 % )
5) Own quiet time ( 5 % )

A few things in my life that I love to do, I miss them ...

1) Football
2) Basketball
3) Window shopping ( Shoes & Gadgets )
4) Sleep
5) Spending time wih my friends

But this is how life grows, you can't be doing the same thing again and again for the rest of your life. You will grow, you need to grow, and with the 24 hours given to you in a day, you can only do so much. As for me, I plan my day, my week. And most of the time, I follow my schedule. Sometimes I am pondering whether it is a real satisfaction, or it is just an excuse to motivate myself, that I'm able to finish my task planned for the day. But if I don't plan, I can be so tension when the files are pilling up my desk ( or my calendar ).

Well, at the age of 28 I think it's too early to retire. This may be the best time to do my best in my career, and try to climb the corporate ladder. But at the same time, I'm also enjoying the best time in my life, going to so many places, trying so many things, so many food. How I wish I could have more time for the 2nd part, but can't just put my career on a hold. Life just needs to be a good balance. Just that it's not so balance lately.

I think it's about time to start planning for something big in the future, like what I say, we must grow ... the only challenge now is .... Time ... time is always not enough !! But looking at the positive side, I'm spending 100 % of time doing something productive, I don't waste my time.

So friends, have you been using your time effectively ? If not, can you just lend me some =)
