Happy Chinese New Year


I been away for too long and now I am back. Like serious, I missed out lot of thing during this period. The reason I been missng is because I working for the last 9 days. Included the first and second days of Chinese New Year. So yea, here I am now. Back to my normal life. And I guess that’s so much to update and I not even know where to start with.

Let’s just start with what had I do for the past 9 days. A friend of mine asked me want to join him to work as tour guide or not and without thinking much I just promised him and attended a short and and obtain the temporary licenese for 15 days. So I been worked as a part time tour guide during this CNY period. And for someone who don’t like to talk like me, it was a huge challege for me. Because this job require lot of talking and it need to introduce your country to the tourist. So this is one of the hardest part time job ever. I think I did a not bad job because my tourist like me very much and I want to thank them for giving me an unforgettable CNY eve. I think it is a good experience and I learned a lot from this job. At least I improved my communication skill and I know I need to talk more and I can do that if I want. I been travel from JB to Melacca to Port Dickson to Genting to KL. But no photo taken because I need to guide them. So yea, for one time, I travel without taking any photo. And I get to learn lot of thing of this tourism industry. And I know what to do or what not to do when I travel next time with a tour guide.

And the best part is I earned a bit of pocket money for the 9 days of non stop working. ( actually is 8.5 days). I think I just need to save a bit more to get the down payment of my own car. Actually I still thinking and calculating what car should I get for myself but I think no rushing because I just started my job and I think for this moment just save some money first before making any big plan. But I do hope to get a car for myself before the year end or the beginning of next year. I am considering between the cheapest Proton or slightly expensive Toyota. With my current salary, if I get Toyota, the commitment will be too high. But living in KL without a car is just so inconvenience. Because everywhere is so far and actually I don’t like to ask people to fetch although I know some of them won’t mind but I just no like it. So getting a car is the plan and now the question is should I save longer for a better car or should get the cheapest car first and change it in future. Hmm… Let’s the time and money I have decide.

Although I worked for the past 8.5 days, I manage to get 0.5 days to gather with some friends. And I had a great time hanging out with them. This is what we called life. You need a group of friend that love the same thing with you and you feel comfortable to hang out with. I been missed lot of times for the gathering and this time finally I get to join. I was kinda happy because I do need a break after working for so many days.


And this is a special thanks to Calvin for nominated me in his GABLO. Actually fame is nothing but it feels good when you see people voted for you. And I would like to say Thank you to Calvin and my reader. I don’t have any expectation so even one vote it make me feel happy for the whole day. And yea, sometime we just need not to care about what other people said, some  might just jealous of what you having. And it really sad that some people are so childish and immature. Although I never meet Calvin before but I can feel he’s a good person and I will be on his side for this matter. Just do what you feel is right and there’s always someone try to pull us down when you are doing something good. It just because you at the position where they never will make it and all they call do is just try to pull you down and destroy you. Just be who you are and I just want to say: I’m always a fans of Calvin blog and thanks to him, my blog got few more reader. We always love you Calvin

Last but not least, Chinese New Year everyone. And I had decided to donate all my angpow money to SPCA and PAWS. It all about giving back to the society this year for me and I choose to help the homeless doggie. Ever since I have Derek in my life, it been a good life for me. So I hope to help other doggie. So yea, that’s all for the update and hopefully it wont be long for my next post.

New Challenge


Life is not that hard if you see it in a positive way. Everyone got their own problem and pressure. As long you know the way to handle it, you will be just fine. 2012 is a brand new year for me, from a student to working adult, I think that’s the biggest change in last year.

And I get my driving license also. And something weird happened yesterday. My boss suddenly ask me go to see him. First I tot I did something wrong or he found out that I always Facebook and read blog during office. But guess I worried too much because what he want to say is totally different from what in my mind. He want to promote me and do some adjustment to my salary. I was kinda shocked at first because I just worked here for one month and still in the process of learning, and I not those very good employee because I left office everyday at 5 sharp and I did some mistake also.And I still got 2 months probation period But don’t know why boss want to pass me a portfolio and want me to in charge of it. Actually I not really like that because I still learning and there are lot of thing I still don’t know. It is not a good news for me but a burden or pressure to me. Just because I’m new in this company and there are lot of thing for me to learn.

I just hope I can do it. As I said before, life is not that hard if you see it in another way. I just gonna take it as a challenge and I gonna win it. Just gonna try my best for it and make it as a motivation to myself.  

And my 2012 resolution got 5 things :
  1. Family
  2. Career
  3. Derek
  4. Gym
  5. Friends
And I just gonna focus on this 5 thing in this year. For travel part I think let’s see my pocket and my luck. If I can get cheap flight ticket and a good destination, then it will be my October trip. And I need to start to a new plan for my life since everything changed already.

Passed


I have a good news and a bad news for the beginning of the 2012. The good news is I finally resolved one of the last year resolution which is get myself a car license. Although is late a bit but yeah, I passed my driving test after three atempt. That’s suppose to be my 21 years old present for myself but is okay. At least that’s the first good news happened in 2012. I’m sure this year gonna be a great year and I truly believe in that.

And the bad news is the road gonna have another bad driving skill driver and I know my driving skill is really bad. I think I won’t drive for this few year until I really ready for it. Even during practice or the test time I was so scare and can’t control it well. And I still cannot see myself driving a car on the road. It just but scary to do so plus kl everywhere also jam. and accident rate in kl is just so high and I don’t want to part of the rate. So I guess I just gonna put that license at home to display only. One of my achiement in life. I know for certain people driving is no big deal but for someone like me who not even know how to ride a bicycle well, I considered myself make a big step in my life. And I do proud of myself.

The next post gonna set some resolution to be resolved in 2012. And hope everyone do have a good start of the year. And Chinese New year is coming soon. I’m gonna work for the whole CNY. And I’m sure everyone is excited about it. I think is time to do some shopping too.

Belief

I wanted to write this post long time ago. Now finally get the chance to write it. For those who don't as know anything about me, I'm a free thinker. And I do not believe in any religion in this world. People always ask : Do you believe in God? If you deny the existence of God, you will be burn in hell forever. First of all, I never say I do not believe in God. Just I choose not to involve myself into any religion. The reason is very simple, there are just one God and God cannot be defined, cannot be named. They no need our worship nor burn those paper. They are just there, and nothing else we need to do for them.They just wish human to be good and be nice to everyone. Maybe you think this is ridiculous but that's only my thought and it do not harm anyone, and I do not ask any people to quit or stop believe in their religion. Just myself choose not to have it but I still very respect every religion. and I still will join those religion activity to know more about it. Actually I'm very interest in religion because there are two thing gonna change the world and one of it is religion. The other one is culture and art. I always wonder how people live under the strong influence of religion such as people of Tibet, India, Italy or even Turkey or Arab. That's the reason why those places are my must visit destination. To understand more about their religion and culture.

For someone like me that do not have any religion, it is important to have some belief to make sure when I am down or helpless, i got something to hold on to. I got three thing or principal in my life. There are Myself, Money and Luck. I need to believe in myself a lot. I believe that no one will treat you nice, even your closest friend will have the probability to betray you one day. Life is a series of unpredictable and unfortunate event. I have the practice of never talk bad about someone, never angry when someone talked bad about you. It just life. When everyone left you, you just have yourself. So it is important to me to believe in myself. I just cannot give up on myself. and I always appreciated those people who treated me as friends and I will let it be for those who hate me. I know there are a lot of people hate me but guess what, I don't care. Life is like that, no one gonna live forever, and I no need to waste my time to care about those hater, I rather use the time to cherish those people who care for me.

Second is Money. Why money? You surely think i'm very materialistic. I will not deny I love money. If you know me for some period, you will know that I worked lot of part time before like promoter, those Pc fair, matta fair, concert crew, event crew, telemarketing, give flyer, data entry, club waiter, restaurant waiter and lot more.Actually I don't like the work, I just love the paid. I think money is just important to us. Don't ever say money is not important, you will regret for saying that when u got no money at all. There's a reason why all of us work so hard for. I think 99% is because of the money and 1% is fulfill their dream. I came from a consider poor family so I understand that earn lot of money is the main motivation for me to study and work. I think nothing wrong to admit you love money as long you earn it in a right and legal way.

Third is luck. I always believe in luck. In an old chinese saying, there are five element to be successful in life.
1. Fate - It cannot be changed. It already fixed for the moment you was born. We cannot choose our parents. We just have to accept the fate and live it.
2. Luck: - It cannot be changed too. Luck is around us. There are time we are good luck, there are time we are bad luck. We only can wish that bad luck time is short and you have longer period of good luck. Everyone will have bad luck. No need worry or complaint about that.
3. FengShui- This actually proven scientific will help us to improve our luck. and with the right feng shui, we will have a safe condition and have good fortune in our life.
4. Talent : Someone people born to sing, some born to act. Everyone have the talent and it depend on how individual to discover it and make good use of it
5. Effort - This is the most important one if you don't have the above. Hard work will be success just it take longer time than people who have these all 5 elements.
I just believe in luck is the key factor to be successful in life because you might have the right feng shui and talent and u been working so hard for everything, but the luck is not with you. You just gonna be normal for the whole life. I think my luck gonna be finished soon because I keep knowing some great people and Mr. Perfect. I think I never tell anyone, this Mr. Perfect or Mr. C is the most perfect guy I ever met. the everything about Mr. C is perfect and I think is the only person I know that are so perfect. But no need to ask me who are Mr. C. I just not gonna tell. :)

I believe that with this three thing in my life. I'm gonna be a good person. Of cos I still practice normal morale standard and won't do anything that I feel is wrong to do so.  people like me without religion also gonna be live very good and people who have religion do hold on to the religion because it do helped certain people to passed through their hard time in life. Just life is not perfect and everyone got hard time, just do your part and life will get better if you believe it will be.

p/s: I don't eat banana.
