Time to Take a Rest

Arghzzz... It has been pretty long since i have updated this place. Find it hard to sit myself on the chair and update. Busy going around doing the things that i wanted to do. The day is finally arriving, i am going to a place where i get to change. They say the place change boys to men. Finally, i am going there. After so long... I will miss alot of things. But maybe that is just me, the bloody sentimental side. I know it is just two years but sometime you just hang on to certain things, its hard to let go. The past two weeks is very fruitful for me. I have done the most enjoyable things and met with all my wonderful friends. Everyday is events after events after events. Nothing boring has happened to me. Friends and relatives are blessing me with luck for my upcoming challenge. Yes, i look at it as a challenge. A challenge that is so different, so unexpected, that i put my whole 100% effort and energy in it. I will emerge as one of the top people there. I will do my best and go for whatever they throw at me. I want to make my family proud. I want my friends looking up to me. I will not let everyone down. Nothing is going to stop me.

NOTHING!!

Home Sweet Home

This afternoon i met up with my ex-colleague and a good friend whom i have known of for four years. We went to this fish and chips stall at town area. I ate there for the 2nd time so it was still kinda new to me. It was new to her so i introduced the steps on eating the fish and the chips. We chatted to update each other for awhile. She is now working with a pretty high salary. I guess by the time she comes out, she maybe able to get me a present finally. Haha... We left each other as she joins her friends for shopping while i go and get some computer equipment for my parent's office. After that i stopped by at the office to fix up the new computer equipment. That done, i went back to school to visit my old home. No longer it looks like the usual place. I met up with my old clubmates and chatted with them. We went for dinner and i paid for them. Cheap dinner so i do not mind paying for them. It has been some time since we met. It is the bond that i have with them. I guess it will never be the same again.

It was another fruitful day spent. I realise that when the days creep nearer to my enlistment date, i treasure them more and more. I feel that i am starting to miss all my friends outside. All of us are going through a transition where we go into our seperate ways and move on with life. No longer can we have fun together, share our stress levels together and enjoy lunches and dinner together. I am going to miss all these fun times. I will miss all my friends who have joined me to overcome obstacles in my life journey. I hope that one day we will be able to come together and be like our student days. It is going to be difficult but i have hope that it will come one day. Praying hard that the day will come soon...

It will come...

Challenge Completed

Finally... I have completed the challenge given to my by my parents. Thanks to an ex-classmate of mine that i have found a suitable employer for the company. She will officially start work next monday. She was new to the area so i went over to Harbourfront to pick her up. Initially upon meeting up, she looked timid and soft-spoken. After some chatting and knowing more about her history, she is actually a grown woman in a petite body. Haha... On the bus, an old lady smiled at me and pointed a finger at her. I just smiled back and wishing we were not on the same wavelength. I doubt she noticed her as she just walked to the back of the bus. Before we alight from the bus, it was a little drizzling. Its a good thing i brought a brolly down. I opened up the brolly to shield her from the rain. Felt like some kind of romantic movie... When we reached the office, my parents were having lunch. So it was pretty awkward for her to see them. So i introduced her to them and took her outside to explain the daily business flow of the company. I guess i did a pretty good job. She understood everything. After that, i photocopied the application form for her. After completing the form, my Mum spoke to her on her job scope. She felt that she might be a good employee so she(Mum) hired her(employee) immediately. The accomplishment of this task made me felt that i have contributed to the company permanently. I have faith in her that she will be an asset to the company. After everything, i sent her to the bus stop. He bus came abruptly and she left hurriedly. I celebrated quietly after she boarded the bus and walked back to the office. Along the way, i forgot to pass her our namecard! Arghz... Maybe next time...

Street-smart and knowledge-smart. Which is better? Some say that learning how to survive in the real world is more important. Some say the opposite. What do i say? I say getting a degree in street-smart and holding a diploma in knowledge-smart. Why i say so? Life experiences and failures are what books and teachers cannot pass on. It is experiencing it by yourself that you know the ups and downs of the obstacles in life. When the obstacle repeats, you would not fall into the same trap as the previous obstacle. The Human mind learns to survive, not to absorb knowledge. If i ever want knowledge, i can always read up in the library. That is where the knowledge bank is, with unlimited withdrawals. Even though the withdrawals are loans from the back, they are usually interest free(unless you return late). If there is a financial bank that operates the same as the library, please feel-free to contact me as soon as possible.

Live and Learn...
