Our needs

Time now : 1.21 am
Date : 23 April 2008

I just woke up not along ago ... after sleeping from noon till 10 pm. Except for a phone call from the Prai warehouse to ask for more stocks to maximize the truck load to the central warehouse, I should be more well rested.

Well, first time I had to use sleeping pills to relax and sleep. I haven't been 'sleeping' for days. And the only thing that keeps me walking, or awake is the ever tight timeline I have to complete some tasks. I'm now involved in a project to purchase a software to help in cutting down time needed to calculate demand of stocks using spreadsheets. This project is basically taking lots of my time and energy, despite the backlog of my current daily tasks.

Anyway, it's not about work I wanna share ...

This morning I couldn't breathe due to pressures from my colleagues to get some info from me. Now that worries me. I almost fainted in the office. Went to the doc to do a few tests, and everything seems normal, except for a slight high in sugar level.

The trend seems to be like this. Everyone is task and and objective oriented, until we have to sometime put it in our task list to eat, sleep, to go for sports, and buy vitamins .. ets just to make sure our mind doesn't forget these important elements in our life. Isn't those the basic things we need to maintain our lifes, or keep us alive ? Most of the time we forgot we only need a job to earn us money to buy food, and shelter.

Needs in the new context is scary. Last time, a house is a need, food is a need. Now a good car that show status + fuel economical + nice design + safety features is a need. A house/apartment/condo in the town area - near to the LRT station is a need. Laptop with WIFI and big screen is a need. 3G handphone with memory slot is a need. It seems like everything is a need, and it's also a NEED to earn bigger salary to accommodates the other needs.

Funny ? But I foresee the list of needs expanding more just in the few coming years. I'm also hooked into this 'NEED Cycle'. Been buying a few 'needs' lately to aid in my growth in photography. Not sure if this is a good decision, but I think I will take this risk this time round. Maybe when I get older and I couldn't take stress anymore from a MNC, I will go freelance in photography. Still lot to learn, but determined to be at the highest level in photography .. wish me luck.

So friend, remember what u really need. It's your life lived fully with no regrets, or filling up the blackhole with things (needs) and thought you will be satisfied at the end of the day. You do know a blackhole can never be filled right ??!!

Oklar ! Just some personal thoughts ... for your reading pleasures ... since I can't sleep again ...

One thing tho, she look better in person, and people are so so so comfortable with her. Powderful women of God indeed ! No celebrity / VIP attitude, just another ordinary women, with God's grace and mercies shown in her ... I didn't hang on, went home straight after the service to rest ... Zzz .. but I heard some of the church youths went mamak with her ... Thanks yo Fiona for the sharing ... come again soon ...
