It's been a while since I last blog. I doubt any friends of mine are reading this blog these days due to the inactivity.
2009: Expect to be a year of hard work.
Career:
Yet I've hope to leave the company soon. That's one of my resolution. I will soon be one step closer to fulfiling my resolution. Wish me good luck. Of course, there will rounds more to go if I clear the first barrier. Even if I go through all rounds, I will have to decide for myself if this is what I want.
Relationship:
No way for 'office relationship'. However, my prince charming has not even appear at workplace. I still believe in having guys taking on a more proactive approach but I really hate to lose a friend when a guy (whom I see as impossible candidate) declares his love (or rather liking) towards me.
P.S. The guy whom I like never put in effort to approach, while the wrong guy always take the approach.
Finance:
Time to work hard to earn more money. Yet I do not wish to lose the real meaning of life by working too much for $$$.
Social:
As usual, I hope to be traveling once in a while to get out of this terrible lifestyle of simply working. Next location on the map: Manila. I am planning to visit a Peruvian friend of mine, who is currently working there. At the moment, everyone around me is telling me how dangerous it is to go there. I guess the trip will be my next solo trip again. Adventure begins sometime after April...

In Remembrance Of A Friend
We met at IMF. He gave me the impression of a very nice boy. When I talked to him, I realised he is very mature. Perhaps that makes him a little different from his peers of his same age. Then he was only 19. I still remembered we were discussing about university, and he mentioned that he wanted to get into an university after graduating from poly.
After two years, he indeed was offered a place in SMU to study business management (exactly the same course as me). Probably he has taken into considerations of what I've told him.
He nearly could be my junior if god didn't take him away...
On that very day, he bought his new motorcycle. That was two weeks after he obtained his bike license. It was also the day he met a fatal accident, and left this world. He could have such a bright future. He really has achieved his dreams to get into university and he did it. However, god decided to take him away at the same time.
It may be a brief encounter between him and me but I will remember this friend I made forever.
My friend, you will be remembered. I will remembered how motivated you were. I really want to perserve like you would if you will still here. 一路好走，朋友!!!

男孩女孩
I came across this as I browsed through my blog entries:
每个男孩都曾是地狱的恶魔，当遇到自己喜欢的女孩时，便会动心，于是变为凡人。 所以女孩一定不要辜负男孩，不然男孩又要回到地狱。
每个女孩都曾是无泪的天使，当遇到自己喜欢的男孩时，便会流泪，于是变成凡人。所以男孩一定不要辜负女孩，因为女孩为你放弃了整个天堂!

It's Really Luck!!!
I wish I had voiced out my preferences when I was given a chance then. I gave it up and now I am in such deep s***.
That day I left my handphone on the desk, and left office to go for my Japanese class. On my way, I then realised I forgot my handphone. I called back using the phone of my colleague. My boss picked up. I told her that I think I left my phone in office. Guess what she said?!?! She questioned me in an impatient tone, "So what do you want me to do?"
I am sure if the same thing happen to you, you won't expect me to say that in your face. I don't see what's the big deal for you to get so frustrated.
The next day you can even treat it as nothing has happened. You didn't even bother telling me that my other colleague has safekept for me.
That same day that I got back to office. I was even more angry that you can make everything seems my fault AGAIN. Not once, not twice, but it's the million times you did that again.
You did a deal in the morning without telling me. You expect me to decipher that "please help me print another copy and i'm going to bring it to the customer" as "i'm going to get the documents today, as we've done the deal today". I am not as SMART as you to know that the two sentences are synonymous. And you could have obtained the papers earlier so that you can do the deal anytime.
Now you make it that nobody likes to talk to you. I have to be the bad guy and I've to stand your scolding because I've no idea what you've done. The more I don't understand why you need to make 3 calls and still come back office to scold me AGAIN. You only know how to put the blame on others. No wonder nobody likes to talk to you.
I have to act happy during the evening while we having our team dinner. You would never have know how upset you've made me. But because of you, I got the motivation to finish editing my resume over the weekend. No matter how bad the market is, I know I won't be able to tolerate you for any longer.
I can never be as "ATAS" as you. I can't buy LV and still complain that Kate Spade can't never compare to the LV bags. I can't drink Starbucks everyday like you do. At least I know my money is well-spent on trips, that I can enhance my knowledge in the long run. How would buying an LV or Kate Spade makes you any smarter?!?!
P.S. Sorry to those who are LV or Kate Spade fans but I really don't see how it makes you look smarter.

Truth of Life
Golden advice from a buddy:
"Life is like a stage play, stage play is like life, just that sometimes in life, there isn't 'Take 2'."

Harsh Environment
Perhaps my last blog entries may sound scary - 'friend is foe & foe is friend".
Once you acknowledged a group of people into your "circle", you are considered "ONE OF THEM". Be it good or bad. You seem to be labeled just because of the group you are in. Is that BRANDING? Does an opinion of a person be seen as the opinion of another?
Someone once told me that isn't it good to find your own "clique". Perhaps one or two people, or a group of them who share common beliefs and thinking.
Well, I guess it depends on how you think it. To some, they see it as a good thing; to others, they might look it in a bad way. To many people, they simply love to classify things, and people. They like to generalise everything they see, touch, smell, taste and hear. GENERALISATION.

Trouble Times
The market has been so volatile these days. Everything is the same kind of news regarding the market. The fall of Lehman Brothers. The merger & acquisitions going around in the U.S. The bailouts coming from the Central Banks in Europe & U.S. It's a domino effect. When would this be the end?
No matter how much actions going around me, work is still pretty much the same for me. Sometimes I feel that I am getting so used to all the nonsense at work. At times I am really pissed off by the comments and actions of people.
Perhaps I am not an easy-going person to get along afterall. I don't like the feeling of not knowing who are your foe and friend a work. Life is indeed better when you're a student. No politics. You don't have to learn how to grow up at the harsher environment. Now things haven't changed much, but inside me I think I've adapted to accept that the world around me now is like this. A place where your enemy is your closest friend. Make your friends close, but make your enemies closer. That's just the way life is.
