Save time = save money = safe life !!

Wow ... I just realized something so real about myself yesterday when I was driving to work ! I spend lotsa time in the car these days due to the 'normal' traffic jams in the morning and nite traveling from home - work - home, and it again became my quiet time to think things over (I'm a thinker, and I always think, about the future, about the pass, about what happened in the morning, and what I have to do in the evening)


Being an expert in planning and time management, I didn't realize that my strength has become my weakness, without knowing it ! It's so dangerous !!


Blur ?? Let me explain ... Well being an expect in planning and time management, I tend to squeeze lotsa things in the ever limited time I have on my hand. My planning can be so precise that I can meet everyone that I want to, spend just enough time with each one, and I make every meeting a fruitful, and a happy one to everyone. Sometimes, I don't waste my time, between any waiting time, I will try to drop by my favorite sport shops, toy shops if I have a little bit of extra time on my hand - just to check if there's any new arrival ... =)


Little did I know, that this strength of mine, has become a weakness lately. As the master is getting more 'master-er' at fighting time, the master is having bigger challenges in placing more and more events to be 'completed' in a day. And I foresee a big mess coming up, unless I start changing my lifestyle. Over the pass few days, I had to cancel so many appointments due to TOO many appointments that I wasn't able to 'complete'. This may be a sign that I can be getting bad at managing my time, this can also because I'm over stressing myself with too many appointments in order to make my time useful.

Life in general works like this too, I remembered once my pastor shared in his sermon, about Man trying to fill the blackhole in our life with all these material stuff, that in the end, the results will still be emptiness. Sometimes a simple life is good enough, sometimes going home and do nothing is not boring, but infact it's rewarding. Come to think about it, I would rather tell my friends I'm very free now, compared to telling them I'm lost in time !! So, this will mean I won't be going out so often, and many other cancellation to appointments, and lesser weekly routine sessions with friends.

New moto in life : Save time = save money = safe life !!

Merdeka !! Merdeka !! Merdeka !!!

My train did not reach the station =(

This is to annouce that, today - Friday, 17 August 2007, after like don't know how many million years, I forgot to zip up my pants after my toilet break. I ALWAYS check, but this particular day, I forgot the SOP, and finally it happen to me =(

I am not sure if I caused any damages to anyone's eyes during the journey from the toilet back to my cubicle, but the path is a long one .. going through the receptionist, then the main meeting room (with people inside the meeting room looking while I walked through), then to customer service area, only to reach my cubicle.

Anyway, I will know if I see any swollen eyes on Monday =)

Friends, wishing you a wonderful weekend ! I can't wait to start mine !!

Growing is a part of life ??

Without knowing .. I realized I aged so much lately ..

One question that pop up in my mind tonite, is that why God made us so special that we actually grow from an infant to an adult, I mean physically apart from mental, spiritual, hardship ... etc.

The more I think about it, the more I'm amazed at the design of God's given 'life'. We were born into the world with our parents ready to take care of us. Our parents gave us love, care, food, money, support, encouragement until we are ready to stand on our own in this world. And all this efforts, will not be wasted because the design itself is so beautifully considered that we'll in turn take care of them when they cannot take care of themselves. Actually it's even harder for us, when we have to take care of them, and at the same time start a new family. That will be another amazing part of life that God will upgrade along the way. It's just like Windows, from the basic until the latest Windows technology we're using in our daily lifes today.

But the ultimate question will still be : why God made us grow, from a cute little fellow, until we can take care of our good selves, and then grow old, and expect our children, or others to take care of us in latter stage of our lifes. Why can't we just grow till we're 30, and stopped growing physically while we can still grow in mental and spiritual.

Answers anyone ??

Rat race ...

Well just came back from a Uni mate makan-makan with Kev, Ming, Zitt and Fey .. It's a very good makan gathering as the full Monash geng turn up this time. And everyone is really growing, we have departmental head, manager, senior engineers and a supply planner ... and yes me the supply planner =)

Well gatherings like this will always end up talking about work issues, who bought new apartment, who bought new house, bought new car, promotion, just came back from US ... bla bla bla ... and like always, the comparison starts !!

As for me, after meetings like this, I always take some time to think about my career, and yes my other side of the 'comparison'. But ! This time it's a litte different ... it's more like a time to reflect what have I achieved and also to weight what I have in other terms compared to material stuff that this mother earth can provide ...

Yes I may not have nice car, no big apartments, and no good job, but I have other form of blessings from God, that in a long run, I praise God for ! My theory, or more of my agree to other people's theory, is that every good thing on earth comes with a negative point ... have a nice sport car, but to bear the high installments, and the heavy maintenance price ... having a nice place to stay, also meaning working very hard to keep the housing loan running ... etc etc

So at the end of the day, I praise God for what I don't have instead of complaining .. funny, but this is how I feel right now. I actually reliazed that when I was thinking about what I can actually do in order to earn more money to 'buy' good stuff like sport car, nice apartments ... do I really need them ?

What do u think ? Is it a must to be a manager by the age of 30 ? or get an apartment before 28 ? Married with 4 kids by the age of 35 ? and retired before 40 with lotsa money in the bank account ?

Else you will only be a loser compared to your friends ? Please share your views ya .... this should be a nice blog-posting-discussion ... =)
