Some Updates

This is just to reaffirm that life is never fair..

Never was, is not right now & will never be...

I am hoping that in the next 10 yrs to come... I will have to force to eat back my words... but anyhow... work is piling up...

Not all that bad, depending on which angle you look at it... more target = more stress = slightly more income, thats provided you hit your target..

Everyone is a fresh page, comes 1st of the month... sales target set, gotta start from zero right again... And it aren't refreshing either with latest turn off events which sees office politics (A to Zee.... needless for me to elaborate...)

College is its same told story... classes, course works, exams... soaking up all the stress & feeling it.. Assignments due in few days time & i just barely started (case of de-generative brain cells or pure laziness? :D)

Uttering the statement as above does not exactly mean that I am really disgruntle or unhappy... but i wonder at times... "what if... "

So many 'ifs' and some many 'buts'.... but it still comes down to this... Like it or not... things don't change if u don't try to change em'...

Clearing my emails during the weekends..

Came across that I suppose my Malaysian frenz who get it :D

Enjoy!

$$$ ....

Obsessed with $$$ all day long these days...

Not sure if its a good or bad sign...

I wanna retired early... thats the plan... :) Dreaming you say?

Dreams are better imagined than those without anything to hope for...

Have the mood to update the blog earlier so this blog basically spills thoughts on my mind... But being lazy as usual... I decided that this will be all I spill today !!

Its been a while....

Its been a while since i last update...

This is more like a shoutout... I've been busy... Too busy to notice ppl around... Too busy to be bothered... Too busy to notice...

Its like driving ur vehicle at 220km per hour on the highway during the nite.. without the streetlights....

Its a straight road... heels on the gas paddle....

You start slowing down... looking at the signboard... its like a journey that has gone all the way for a whole looooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg year...

Tiredness creeps in... boredom too accompanying... you look to you left & to ur right... you realized things changed..

Changed so much... so much... I look to myself in the rear mirror... i see ....

I see..... seeee....

And I look up the sky.... its a full moon... serenity indeed....

November Updates

This post is also kind of random...

Actually don want what to update also...

This post, lazy to think in perfect english so chin chai taruk only...

Long time never blog liao... lost touch of what to write... but since got bit bit mood + due to popular demand, i ll update bit bit..

Starting from... work... same boring routine lor... from my earlier post, if you've been following... this yr is a relatively good yr la... but thats for this yr only...things pretty rossy for me la...

But then again, since this is good yr for me & not so good for everyone else within sales... my target confirm sure double fold at least... "die die die..." Till then, control also not in my hand right? So cannot be worried SO much... only can pray real hard that next yr economy improve to like 07, the good older days...

Okie, so much for wishful thinking for now... update u guys about studies. New semester started almost 5 weeks(or somewhere around there)... got so new faces, new friends... interesting ppl... not so interesting lecturers who are almost monotonous voice... feels like hypnosis therapy in class...

And lets not forget another lecturer who is new... who insists that everyone must know her profile... where she obtained her qualification, experiences & expertise ... bla bla bla... she had to make sure everybody knew her profile, she showed her profile at least 3 times in that class that very day. First time was when she came into class, 15 minutes later when another 2 students came in together class... and she just had do it another time 45 minutues later when a student came in...hmmmm... (thinking was that even necessary) neways who really cares where you studied!

To cut things short, her class are really.... ermm..., it just doesnt make me feel so comfortable... felt like dropping that subject tim but "boh bian" have to take it worrying that it would be quite a while before they would have this subject in other sems to come.

Ah ha... the kid who dreams big also suddenly becomes excited to start own business... planning begings... trying to source for suppliers... arrange logistic... where to sell produts.... been a great idea but slightly stuck for now.. :) hopefully this enthusiastic energy keeps the dream alive... but it might be half way through as lots of stuff that i try to do =p .... not a big big dream.. but something i feel would be a personal milestone achievement if really does work out...

Aiseh... late already, time to sleep... see you nxt month, if i m not too lazy to update this blog .. hehe... nitez ppl !!

Amazing reply by J.P. Morgan CEO to a Pretty girl..

Another 1 of those forwarded emails, but found it meaningful... Enjoy...

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year.
I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York .
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden ( ? ) , $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2) Which age group should I target?

3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Amazing reply:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.! From the standpoint of a business person, it is a
bad decision to marry you.. The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of
'beauty' and 'money': Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after
year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a 'trading position'..
If the! trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be
sold or 'leased'. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.
This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps .... If you are interested in 'leasing' services, do contact me ...

Its september lor... 9 months into 2009 !

Times passes fast... before really realizing it, its already September 2009. I asked myself, what have I done thus far so these 9 months. Since having some free time this Saturday afternoon, occupied with boredom... mind starts to wonder to & looking back, evaluating every aspects that I could think off - work, studies, socially, personal development, family & relationships with others...

Pondering upon these, not much has basically changed, at least not many things that i really have put effort to make a difference. From a 3rd persons viewpoint - looking at me, one might notice changes - but deep down I know these things changed because of time. It would only be natural to become more mature as time passes, also of course time remaining to finish my course would be shorten... (examples). Wouldn't say that no effort has been put forth, perhaps its just that I know i can do better?

Btw, reemphasizing that i don't like that studying... makes going through the studying period all the more agonizing... coursework, datelines, submissions, assignments & yeah, I HATE EXAMS !! As though i can escape it, sem exam gonna start in 3 weeks or so... anyhow, just wanna finish this course quickly... don't wanna quit half way..

2009 has been rather a fruitful year in regards the aspect of work... Most days are busy ones, 9-6 passing by quickly... of course, its the usual rewarding the best, damn & woe to the loser... When you accomplish something, ppl have expectation on you to perform... to maintain & achieve & outdo... The biggest question mark lies if I am capable ?? Its not totally a bad thing altogether I would think... perhaps one needs to fall down, get up & work double hard every now & then...

Another 4 months time & a brand new year - keeping fingers cross on what to expect...as my senior mentioned, "You can only be a superstar once in this company... been there, done that & proven - look at me ..." Being a believer of always maximizing individual potential let see what will happen...

So long ppl !!
