Thinking Trauma

It's been mere a week before starting on my first job. Many stuff crosses my mind and again am blaming myself for someone who thinks too much. So here I am again pouring my thoughts into this blog. About my story and about who I am.

Couldn't sleep and wonder why. No answers to that. Perhaps just some random thoughts kicking into my mind. Have been going through my memories, to see how far I can trace it back. Searching through the cupboards of memories, pulling the boxes and see how far my mind dated back. So it all started back from my kindergarden time as far as I can remember, trying to trace back those faces I knew then to junior school, high school, matriculation time then most current ones which was my uni life... Thinking back those friends I knew and some still keep in touch with is amazing. 

Going back through these memories are amazing. Really astounding to flash back on how far the journey I have made to where I am today. The changes I have went through and even the people I met. It's so fresh in my mind and seem like it's just few days or months away, but the reality surfaces. It's like 10 years ago and everything changes but the memories remains.

So much of the yesterdays where the past remains the past. What matters are the present and only the present so much that determines tomorrow's outcome.

So money minded these days when that really kicks into the brain when future plans are there. Watched a TV show recently and it rings so true to me as a man who just simply live life simple. To just forget about the complications of life and live life as there is. To earn a penny and spend a penny. To travel when there's enough money to do so just to enjoy life and be happy. Life is so much happier that way, to really set no goals at all and be worry free about nothing.

But is that possible? Not very likely unless I am a man of my own and nothing more. To live my own life where no one really cares about. To go anywhere I want to. Living life pointlessly are really great sometimes. 

Have been reviving Unity Bond once again, to keep things moving. It had been stranded for too long. And walla, finally a dot com for a shared blog with my very close friend. Am not sure how far can we bring this website but hopefully it would be more recognize globally and attract more people to read it. 

Watched 3 Idiots with my family just now. And it's a REALLY good movie. Funny and quite touching as well~ MUST watch!

So what waits ahead would be living a holistic life. A holistic being. Would explain more about this phase of life on the next post.

Have to sleep early (not so early) for a friend gathering back to high school rays trip tomorrow! Gonna meet the old faces again~ And it feels so good~

Till den~ :)

The First Step

Have been thinking hard these few days~ Thinking about the crossroads and the other side of it. Have even thought about taking master degree again~ *headache*

What I really meant by 'hard' is thinking beyond~ Way ahead even for like 10 years and 30 years ahead... (that's what happen when you get stranded and got nothing to do at home)

So everyone need to have a plan. And when you have a plan, you have to work towards the plan. And when it's a plan, it must be achievable and logical in the means of own capability~ So there must be also how to make it happen and a reality. If it's not, it's not a plan. (lecture time~)

It's kinda ridiculous for me to think and draw 30 years of plan ahead of me. But hey~ When I do the basic math, it doesn't sound ridiculous now. It's time to know what I want in life and how to achieve them in the years to come. And plans have to take account of the retirement age~ And that's why some people buy insurance and investments~

Talking about investments, my favourite topics of all time. It really does make great sense to start early. The perfect age to start at the early 20s (i'm still young, yay! LOL) to start making investment. As there are no such thing as quick money in investments, unless (I've done my homework) I get myself involved in stocks or bond investment (not very likely till I have like 1 million in my account) and participate in a direct sells (MLM) via people begets people begets money method (accompanied with 100% effort and motivation, this method can be real good investment for certain people) or the better worse to buy a lottery ticket everyday and prays that ONE day that jackpot may strike on my lucky day~

Planning 30 years ahead is easy. Very easy. What's hard would be our mindset testing our patience, consistency and effort in realizing such plan. More often than not, even it's a one year plan, one hardly can follows so what about 30 years you say?

And good news! I am officially employed with a private construction company! (dammit) Congratulation to me! Yay! Would be officially working as a Junior Quantity Surveyor on 3rd September 2012. There's a designation I can finally write while filling forms now~ HAHA!  

Mom seem deeply unhappy and still convincing me to quickly report duty to JPA. And even threaten by saying I can change into a new car (with my own expense of course!) if I get accepted into the government sector. What a deal! A new car! Woots! I can say bye bye to greeny!

Too much of thoughts these days~ My head gonna go KABOOM! Gonna concentrate on my career for the time being~

No money no talk~ And that's why when no money, there's always a blog for myself~

Till den~ ;-)

The Crossing Line

After few days of settling down from Taiwan trip. It's back to home life again like it used to be during semester breaks. Mainly doing some unproductive activities and to name a few like watching dramas, reading the piled up unread bought books, surfing the net mostly on Facebook (I found this site not that useful after uni life as assignment groups are closed except for updating with friend's status update or look out for special events where 80% has nothing of my concern) so I can start reduce my addiction towards FB for now, downloading new kpops and music videos and laze around~ All in all, I am wasting my time.... That's ironic for me saying myself wasting my own time. It's true and I know it.


So people (even bank's staff, where I go banking one day with my mom) have been asking if I have found a job. *snort* Embarrassingly saying no kinda makes me feel wasted somehow~ LOL!


But yeah~ Come to think of it... I should be working already and perhaps because I'm not ready to step into the working world yet. As I know what awaits me when I did. Mom has been persuading me into being a government servant despite myself not liking it but somehow she has her points... Government jobs are less heavier, working hours from 8 to 5, can nicely spend my weekends, addition of allowance, plenty of holidays to spend and the incentives for buying houses and cars. So while waiting for my full result to be released on 27th July 2012 and try my luck applying for that job, I am urged to do a part time or a full time temporary job be it whatever I want, just for my experience.


What crosses my mind would be being a promoter (sadly but yes), getting involved in selling insurance (to gain great trainings and marketing skills), participate in direct selling or MLM (somehow being dragged into this by my aunt), going for property workshops or courses (to my favor, but need to pay for such attendance) or do a part time job for my last intern company (which I dreaded) Hurm... I think that's a pretty much of a list or I can add in being a waiter or barista in McD or Starbucks~


And when that happens, I would be expecting to put down all the unproductive activities mentioned above.


So the line is drawn. I know what's coming. All that's left is start putting my foot across it.


And when that happens, I will be so busy... So so busy... So so so busy...


To seek and draw new resolutions, objectives and goals year after year. Laying the carpet of plans and the mind of execution.


Sound scary to me.... But that's life! Even while in the midst of such business. This quote still rings to me.


Life is not about the destination. It's about the journey. (so meaningful right? :P)


Woots~ Till den :)

12 Days Taiwan Graduation Trip

The most anticipated trip! And thumbs up for this awesome trip! It's not entirely taiwan trip alone as there's an exchange of plane to Taiwan from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. So it should be Sabah-Taiwan graduation trip.


Since it's a super duper long trip although not as long as my internship in Guangzhou. I will just summarize everything here. (am just lazy to write actually~ haha)


First arrival and took a brisk walk around Kota Kinabalu town. Nothing much compared to KL only that the cost of living there are comparable higher. A bowl of normal mee can costs up to RM6 - RM7. If I would be going for the next trip to Sabah, I would definitely go to KK Mountain and Sipadan Island. 


In the mere 12 days in Taiwan, my coursemates (4) and I, can said to travelled the whole Taiwan except for the Eastern area. Taiwan is really the most recommended travel spots of all Asian countries. Really had a pleasant traveling time there. Why? The people there are friendly and easy to talk to. (well, of course if you can speak Chinese well) The mountains and peaks really have beautiful and breathtaking views. The transportation systems are systematic, easily understood and very punctual so you can easily plan the trip in detail without wasting any time. The food there were my all time favorite! Night markets in Taiwan are all filled with delicious snacks! Not forgetting all the milk teas and icy fruits desserts! My all time favorite snacks are Taiwan sausages and fried mushrooms! Yummy! (photos can be viewed below)


And Taiwan people love dogs so much~ They bring them around all the time... To night markets, to shopping malls, to MRT trains, to garden and parks, to beaches and to everywhere~ It's a dog paradise! Definitely gonna breed one if I live there.


Experienced both sunrise and sunset there! Although in two different places~ The sun rises around 4.30am in Taiwan and that's super early... So we need to wake up at 3.00am to catch the sun. And the skies there are always bright even at night. The clouds are visible even at night! Awesome feeling!


The places I have visited are Tai Chung (台中), Tainan (台南), Alishan (阿里山), Sun Moon Lake (日月潭), Kao Shiung (高雄),  Kending (墾丁) and Taipei (台北).


I would really want to stay in Taiwan for like 3 months and learn about their culture and how such country develop in such way. Traveling in Taiwan and staying there is a totally different thing altogether. I'm definitely flying back to Taiwan~ ^^
