It's just a question of ambition

I was reading the blog of my favourite 8TV host Belinda Chee. Yeap, she's quite an active blogger on xanga. You guys should drop by and read her blog. It's all about the life of a 8TV Quickie making her way to fame. I guess she is taking the same path such as established icons such as Marion Caunter...so Quickie show is sort of like a launch pad for the budding tv hosts. Watch out for her!

Anyway, back to my reason of why I am writing this blog today. Anyway, there's one particular blog from her site about childhood ambitions. So, this is my childhood ambition x-file! I tell you, I haven't been asked this question for a long long time. People tend to stop asking these kind of questions once you're in college! That's how long it is for me.

Ok..the first time when I wanted to be something or someone for as long as I can remember was at age 6 in Primary 1. Before that, I guess I was just one kid without any worries who just thought about cartoons and playing. Just to notice right here...nowadays people refer your first year in school as standard one isn't it? "Primary One"..that's like dinosaur language..hehe. I wonder which is the correct one? I should think both terms are correct. Enlighten me anyone?


I had a buddy and we would keep talking about spiderman everyday at school and make up stories as well. We even suspect our teachers to be villans of Spiderman in disguise! I guess maybe I'm not the most ambitious kid at the time, well at least I wanted to be the good guy.


Now this is more like a ambition, not exactly but something to do with fighting crime. So the next best thing on the list would be a policeman. I was stuck with the ambition for a couple of years. You know when you're at school, the class teacher would make us select 3 occupation of what we would like to be when we grow up. The first choice was always policeman for me while the second was...


It wasn't because I enjoyed eating or anything, I just like to eat bread...so it was more of a baker chef because I so love to eat the chicken pie at one of the hotels in Labuan. It is the best chicken pie that I have ever had till this day of time. I can still taste it if I imagine hard enough.











Then, there was the sports age when I wanted to be a swimmer following my mother's chinese tv serial about being a

This actually started me asking my parents to bring me to learn swimming, which I am thankful for this ability. The sport ambitions went on...
I wanted to be like Gary Lineker...the England Striker.


After all the failed attempts to be good at sports, I finally turned to my books and wanted to be in the hotel management industry as I enjoyed looking at all the magnificent 5 star hotels and just the environment of it makes me feel really cozy.

Then came the technology era...everyone wanted to be in the IT world. And I ended up studying engineering but pursued a IT customer service career.

And after 8 years in the industry, I finally decided to call it a day and switched to the automotive industry. It is no doubt that the automotive industry is having a slump...so I am currently riding the waves as we speak. Hopefully by then I will have enjoyed my current job or move on for something much better.

Tell me, how many people get to do the jobs that they really like? Probably 10% of the people who read this blog would say they do. Let me ask you a question...do you like what you are doing now?

Speaking Of Pregnancy...

Look what I came across while browsing the net for information on pregnancy...I think the world would be overpopulated if babies were born this way! Take a look at nature's call!


Everything seems pretty much normal...."ahhh, just another walking in the dessert"


This is simply amazing isn't it? The things that are unique about nature of life.
"Arghhh!!! Something breaking out from my back! Get it off me! Get it off me! Oh!, it's my little darlings! Boy! They are sure a heavy lot!"



"Let's see...how many boys and how many girls...daddy scorpy is gonna be so thrilled!!!"





"Ok now...boys on the right and girls on the left"

Lessons On Life

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look
at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe
what they had seen.


The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.


The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.


The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.


The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,
and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.


Moral lessons:

Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later

When it is appropriate to save

Recently Tesco in Mutiara Damansara has implemented their parking ticketing system. They are starting to charge people taking advantage of the parking space which are actually designated for Tesco Customers. In fact, if you happen to shop at Tesco, you wouldn't have to pay for the parking because you can get your parking ticket zapped at the cashier or the information counter. Just show them the receipt that you have bought something from Tesco.

So now, most of the parking space are not taken up by the people who are intending to go to the Curve but wanted to save on parking ticket. They'd rather walk from Tesco to the Curve you see. Not only that, now they have started walking all the way from the Proton Showroom, Burger King, Petronas, McDonald's...congesting the whole road by parking at the sides of the road..flooding everywhere with cars..just because they didn't want to pay for parking. Typical Malaysian attitude? The surprising thing is that I've even seen one whole family..with children and old folks..crossing the road dangerously..for what? Just because they wanted to save on parking!

You wouldn't be surprise to see luxury cars parked at the roadsides as well. Now that's how the rich get even richer!...by saving on petty things! But the thing is it is not about whether you should save that RM1 or RM2 or not. It's about the safety on the road. I am sure parking at the roadside illegally can cause obstruction at certain angles while driving..narrow streets for cars and traffic of humans walking back and forth.

Come on everyone, I think we can do better than this..stop all this nonsense and keep the roads smooth and easy. As I was bitching about this problem in the car with my friend, I noticed the car in front of me had one of those cheeky signs..you know like those "baby on board" kind on signs....this one was the first I've seen. A home made sign using red marker pen and poorly cut square shape that says "Don't come too close to me or You'll kiss my car and pay for it"....????? That sounds something trying to be funny but it's not. Jeeezzzz..those signs can be bought for a couple of Ringgit...why make your own dull white cardboard thingy???? Better not put it up in that case!

I am not a rich guy myself but hey, I wouldn't these things either. I'd rather not do it at all or go to the mall if I can't afford to pay for a parking space! I hope guys don't make their girlfriends walk all the way from outside...unless of course if they don't mind..or if you just assume that they don't mind because in their head they might be saying another thing!

Saving is when you go to Tesco to shop or you only drink during happy hour time!

Recently, I've been disturbed with the thought of what to get for my friend who will be expecting her first born baby daughter? Any ideas fellas? I've come up with a few unique ones because I want it to be a gift that she'll remember. I realize that there are only limited stores selling baby stuff...which means there's still a lot of opportunity out there to make money from this line of business! Those with lots of capital might want to consider going into the baby business?



This is called the HALO Sleepsack..it's actually quite ingenious...gotten very good reviews from the website and also forums. I think this is something to consider. The price is quite reasonable USD 30+...we can't really get it in Malaysia but I am actually trying to get it from JC Penney Singapore website. Anyone ever used to buy online from JC Penney website? I hope it works and I hope I can get it on time. I think I'll throw in a couple more items just to make the gift look bigger...hehe.

Having said that, do measure how close you are with the father or the mother..don't give a gift that would cause uneasiness with the other party..for example a breast pump! Never ever get that kind of gift! It is way too personal!


I'm down with the flu, cough and fever since last week. I think I picked it up while I was tanning in Pulau Lang Tengah...oh yeah...I had a getawat trip from the city life early in the month. Will try to upload the pics and elaborate on the trip next blog. So guys, stay strong...drink lots and lots of water..eat a balanced meal and you'll be alright I guess...and stay indoors more often! Till the next blog..Adios!

Death Of A Mongolian Supermodel

I know this case has been dragged for a long time. While we wait for the final verdict, let us look back at the contributions of the late Miss Altatunya Shaariibuu, May her soul be at peace....







Let's take a breather..phew...no doubt she has the beauty, just bad choice in relationship!!!







It is now only in loving memory for her family and friends and the modelling world...

Subject: Why British think 80% of M'sians coming to UK to study law?

UK Immigration Officer: Purpose of visit?

Visitor: I'm here to study law, sir.

Officer: You know, you must have a lot of lawyers in Malaysia.

Visitor: Why do you say that?

Officer: Well, i've been here for a good twenty years, and I'd say 80% of Malaysians I see here say they're here to read law.

Visitor: Oh, really? That's really something i never knew. Hard to believe in fact.

Officer: Just you watch, then. You just stand here until the next Malaysian comes along, and I'll bet he's here to read law.

Just another day without you

Hi all, can't believe how time flies when you're just drowned with work. Can someone actually tell me that they are not drowned with work everyday at the office? Please raise your hands.

Just checking and finally finding out that 1 month has passed since I wrote my last blog. Let's see what I have done over the past month...to tell you the truth, absolutely nothing except working, working and working. I think I have finally fallen into the catergory of Workaholic!



I can't help myself anymore, I think I am losing my mind...it's a tough world out there but I didn't expect it to be this tough. All I can do now is do my best..stay as long as I can and work towards a goal. I find that the only thing that keeps me going to work each day is because of my colleague...yes..the one that's married and having a baby. Well, she's the inspiration no doubt...something I can look forward to each day. I feel like I am in peace whenever I hear her voice or meet her.



Despite all that, she is nothing more than a person that I would cherish very much in my life because she is the source of my strength to carry on. I hope nobody is going to think that I am having a crush on her! No! No! No! As much as I would like to, I think I have the rationality to keep myself in line. The only thing I would say is that boy, wouldn't it be great if I get to be with someone like her?

The truth is...I just like being around her. Is that a crime? So she's married but she's allowed to make really good friends right? Somehow I just feel really really good when she's around even if I am having a bad day. I would like to really know a girl that can make me feel that way. I sometimes jokingly ask if she has a twin sister...;p



Yeah, live the dream they say. Just the other day I was flipping through the newspaper and saw the latest Transformers movie...quite disappointed with the design of the robots really...they totally do not look like the robots that we know so well. They've just changed everything....which now makes me not really looking forward to watch it. I'll let the crowd subside before I take the time to go and watch it.

Ever wander down to Pudu Bus station to fetch someone or take a bus. You see a lot of nationalities there, some are local, some are foreign. But you know what people stands out the most? Chinese from China!

Yes...there are just lots of them walking around the street. And they are not giving a good impression to anyone. Tell me, what comes to your mind when you think about someone from China?

a) A person who is going to give you a good time

b) A person who is going to cheat you in some way

c) A person who is going to sell you something cheap and unreliable

d) A person who is going to ask you for help

Well, when I was in Pudu waiting for someone, I got (d). She knocked on my car window several times. I wind it down and she starts speaking in shanghai chinese accent in mandarin. She somehow explains that she is stranded her as she has lost her way in locating her friends. She would like to ask me for money but not in any way connected to giving any whatsoever service in return. She just ask for my charitable to give her some money for food. She ask for my telephone no. so that she could pay me back in the future or even if I happen to be in Shanghai then she would repay me! (Where do you get this guy???)

Anyway, I sheepishly forked out a few ringgit and gave it to her. Well obviously it was not enough for her as she ask if I could give RM20 specifically. (Well, isn't that a sign that she's starting to cheat someone?) Obviously I did what I learnt from Italian footballers when they commit a foul on someone and denies it. I shrugged my shoulders and said I don't have anymore. Well, she kept persistently asking for more to help her get a decent meal. I told her a few ringgit will get her quite decent meal.

After that she just left. As I stare at the my side mirror..I see her walking confusely and just trying to knock at another person's car window. Sorry to say I have always had a bad impression about people from China. It is so sad that it has resorted to this level. You see people circulating email about how to detect fake items from China..etc. And the people who visit China and almost got conned by the people there.

And when there's a china girl walking all alone wearing slightly sexier clothes, people will think that they're doing " street business". It is just so sad that they give such an impression to me and probably a whole lot of people. The truth is they really do all those things just for the sake of money. They cheat to earn money...and sorry to say that majority of them do it till the extent that the truly nice people of China are overshadowed by all these bad apples.

Anyone else have similar experiences with a chinese bad apple?



Anyone watch that reality show on tv? "The Firm", I think it was called. It was aired on sunday on 8TV or was it NTV7? Anyway, it is a very interesting show. It's sort of like the apprentice malaysian style. Feel free to watch it, it's quite entertaining but somehow the people involed in the show looks really familiar...they look as if they've appeared on tv commercials before or dramas....I do wonder if all those people are just acting or just really doing part time modelling for tv ads or something. Anyway, they do tackle real life business plans. For example on the first episode, they had to organize a campaign for Fitness First Malaysia to draw in as many walk-in customers as possible.

Well, it's the start of the new month again. I hope everyone spends their hard earned money wisely. In the mean time, take care and may peace be with you.

What are dreams made of?

Yesterday, I woke up from my short nap with a nightmare. Wait a minute, if it is not at night, should we call it noonmare or napmare? hahah! Anyway, it was something very unpleasant that I feel that I had to write and not just keep it inside. Telling someone about your dreams may not always be the right thing to do, because sometimes a dream just doesn't make sense.

From what I gather from a dictionary, a dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. It occurs in humans, most mammals, and some birds. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer. The exception is lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their oneiric reality and controlling various aspects of the dream, in which the suspension of disbelief is often broken.Dreamers may experience strong emotions while dreaming. Frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares.

Okay, I know I had a bad dream aka nightmare. Let me share it with you. For the past 6 months, I have gotten to know a girl who works in the company as I am. We contact mostly through the phone as she is based in HQ and myself based in a branch. Our work are related, without her I can't finish my part and without me, she cannot finish her part. Anyway, the friendship started very nicely. She has a very sweet voice indeed, being the "bachelor" here my mind always plays tricks with me. I would be thinking to myself "sounds like someone I would take out on a date"

Anyway, it was only after 3 months that we had spoken through the phone that we finally met up for the first time when I popped over to HQ for a meeting. You know sometimes reality strikes you when you least expected. She is practically visually perfect, not the perfect perfect but the kind of girl that I would want to have a date with or bring home to your parents or introduce to your friends kind of perfect I guess.

As most people know by now that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've always had a weakness for women with large eyes and she has all that. I admit I like a woman with slightly tanned skin as well, which she was indeed. Overall, she is one hot cupcake ;p

She dresses very well and is fashionable from head to toe..you couldn't find any more even in the way she combs her hair. Ok! Let me snap out of my dream! Hahah! But one really important thing that I REALLY have to tell you is that she's married! Yeap, disappointed? Somewhat..but I had seen past that stage already. Even if I didn't end up romantically with her, I find her as a friend that I would keep for the rest of my life.

She knows how to comfort me when I'm feeling down, she reads me like a book and we have lots of things in common, we even went to the same college, our interests are quite matched up and we can talk a lot, a lot! Then one day, she told me that she was pregnant and I was overjoyed for her.

As time passed by, our friendship grew stronger and once in a while she would come over to my branch for a visit and we'll have lunch together and talk about thing from work to life. Of course I always try to compliment her as most women would start to feel depressed when they get pregnant. I'm not sure but I think it would be because they would feel fat and disappointed when they can't fit in their clothes anymore and their body starts to change dramatically within months. I think what they want to hear is that you still look good no matter what, beautifully pregnant! I am sure most of you would agree there is such a thing as "beautifully pregnant". It may not be the right term but it is something like the term "aging gracefully"

With her, I feel that I cherish the friendship a lot. She makes feel like "wouldn't it be nice if I had someone like her?" That kind of feeling I guess and at the same time I feel that I treasure the friendship a lot and would not do silly things to jeopardize it in any way.

Ok..about my dream. She was wearing a wedding dress but she was pregnant! Anyway, as I can remember, her friend which was following her around was a Cheryl Samad lookalike. You guys know who is Cheryl? She's the spokeperson for watson. I am sure everyone has notice her before.

What was going on was that she wanted to take a picture with me, so we chose to sit on the stools of a bar and her friend took the photo for us. She gave me a hug and a kiss and left. I stood there for a moment and watch her walk away before decided to go to the washroom. Somehow, I went through a maze of stairs trying to find a washroom but then it ended more like trying to find my way out of the maze. Each time I opened the door, I would be right back at the bar where I took the photo. And each time, I would go back down the maze of stairs. This kept on for several times until this one time when I see my friend lying on the floor looking out the window. When I called out her name, she just looked at me and looked out the window. After that, I just went on with my maze and ended up back at the bar again.

The next time I step into the maze of stairs would finally make me tremble with terror. Lying on the floor is my friend..covered in some liquid all over the floor and she was unconcious, I somehow knew something had happened to her baby...I carried her up and rush through the door shouting "help! Please help her! somebody please help her!" as I look at her helplessly and I woke up sweating and my heartbeat pounding loudly through my chest.

It was the worst dream that I ever had about a friend. It was just a dream but it seemed so real. I was feeling concerned and I started praying that she will always be safe with her family. These are the dreams that you shouldn't tell the person itself unless it is something pleasant. I guess sometimes our minds does play tricks on us. It puts all the things that we go through in life together and mashed it all up. I guess if you really analyzed the dream, a psychiatrist would tell you something.


My close friend (gossip partner) at my previous job once told me that she dreamnt about me telling her that I was going to quit my job on the day that I had submitted my resignation letter to my boss! And I was about to tell her when she told me her dream!!! Some dreams are very appreciative when you tell someone that you have dreamed about them because it is a sign that you are concerned about them. For me, we ended up spending our money buying 4D numbers of my car, my employee ID and my birthday. It was a nice try though ;p

Sometimes you have a dream and when it happens in reality, you would say deja vu. But this is one dream that I never want to see happening in my life.

Mr. Ant is back!

Hi everyone!

It's been 2 years since I last wrote a blog! My god! Time flies when you least expect it. Well, not much changes in my life but I did something different in 2006, compared to 2005.

In early 2006, I went on a holiday trip (which I have not done in years) to Cambodia to witness the magnificent monuments of Angkor. It was breath taking in the sense to think there was such a well organized civillization hundreds of years ago. Anyway, thanks to Airasia everyone can travel! =)

In 2006 was a transition year for me. I finally quit my job which I have disliked for many years. Now I am with the Automotive industry in sales! It is no doubt a tough challenge as the car market has been slow this year. Well, I hope it does get better this year. I joined in November last year and has since been working day by day in....RAWANG!!! RAWANG?!?!?! Yeah, people are asking me.."Are you serious???" Yes, I am. I have given up the luxuries and comforts of Petaling Jaya/Subang Jaya for the Cowboy town Rawang.

What makes me say that it is a cowboy town? Well, everybody breaks the rules. There is no such thing as one way street or driving on the wrong side of the road because you see it happening almost everyday. People take risks like this just to be convenient about crossing the road rather than taking the bridge or saving time to make that U-turn. You might ask me.."Is that all?"

Well, there is more than meets the eye! Do you know that the most vandalized item in Rawang are traffic lights! You bet they are! Because of all the lorries driving and speeding like maniacs! I kind of put my life at rish each and everyday just to get to work.

Apart from all the bad and the ugly from Rawang, there is also the good. What's good? Fish! Yes, I am not joking, Fish! To be precise, the type of fish would be errr..I'm not sure..let me get back to you all.

Anyway, there's a lot of food for taste in Rawang...not the usual fine dining kind of place that's for sure but somehow the food are delicious despite without the fancy surroundings. If it's an Italian looking for some Pasta, or a Swedish searching for meatballs, then I have to say sorry because there's not much western interest in Rawang.

It's still the old fashioned, malay..indian...chinese cuisine...home made in most cases but slowly gaining commercial recognition which would eventually spoil all the taste I'm sure. Perhaps I will go through with ya all some of the "places to eat in Rawang list". Well, if anyone plans for a trip to Rawang, it's not really that bad. You can golf around before you decide to try the food. Who knows you might like it.

Let me talk a bit about my job. I am currently working as a Sales Executive at Toyota Rawang Branch (Yes! There is a Toyota Showroom in Rawang!) Most makes have come and go but Toyota Rawang has prevailed for the last 10 years.

The showroom is not something spectacular but is a End lot shop. The working environment is pretty ok, I work with a bunch of very different characters, sales people. Yeap, the job that I am doing is all about managing them and maintaining the operations of the branch. My previous job was in IT and now this is an opportunity for me to learn about managing a business. The only person that I report to is my branch manager. So, it's not that bad.

After switching my job, I realized that no matter where you work, the most important thing are the people that you work with. They will determine if you will stay in the company long or not. It's not really about the money is it? Unless you're like a manager or the CEO of a company...perhaps that is a different story.

Anyway, the workload has been heavy since I joined. It's already 6 months up to now that I have been working in Rawang. Yes, I still have the dislikes and all but I am just trying to blend into the job. I have definitely a lot of the tricks and trades of the automotive industry that's for sure.

This has also brought to my attention that my social circle is slowly reducing. I don't really have much time on my hands to meet up with my friends or even go out on a date. For the past year, many have gotten married and when most people get married, they tend to concentrate more on family rather than friends. Despite all these obstacles, I still meet up for tea once in a while.

I don't even have much time for activities other than my job, which I think is a serious matter. Well, I'm still holding on. I'll hold on as long as I can before I make another switch. Being in sales, I get to meet quite a lot of people whom sometimes I tend to forget their names as well because there are just to many business cards to keep around.

Of late, I wonder if it is just coincidence or just plain unlucky, I have met with very nice girls (I'm still single!) You know, friendly girls whom I get along well at work as well as colleagues back in my HQ who visit me once in a while. I have actually gone beyond the friendly stage with them. You know, when we meet up, it's not just talking about work anymore. We share our life stories and all.

As I have always said to myself, getting to know someone is the best part of a friendship. And then from friendship it grows to something more. But most of the time it doesn't. You meet someone really nice, that you can laugh, have a good meaningful conversation, share a meal together and the next thing you when you dig deeper, they're either attached or married. Well, I have no problem with that, I just think to myself "How lucky her husband or bf is to know someone like her".

Yeah, it's envy you sensed there. I am not denying it. The comfort I get though is at least I got the chance to know them and they are still my friends =)I am not desperately seeking someone but it would be nice to get to know some girls who are still single and whom I fancy for a change! You know that the girl that you fancy most of the time would be hard to come by. You're not being choosy, don't let anyone say that to you. It's all whom is able to catch your heart from the start. I do believe that first impressions count! But then again people try too hard to make and impression and most would end up not being themselves and faking their personality!

I suppose if I am going to find someone, I should be able to tell them all the flaws of me, show it to them fully and if they are able to accept me for who I am (maybe change for the better) then I'd probably be satisfied half heartedly...the next half would probably depend on whether we can get along or not.

I do have one particular flaw that I would like to share with everyone.
This is something very new in Malaysia. I used to think that not many people suffer from this problem. I have known it for many years as I have done my own research and studies. It is definitely very satisfying to know that there are also a group of people whom have similar situations as we do that we can relate to each other.
The term that I am trying to introduce to everyone here is "Hyperhidrosis"
Hyper means extreme, Hidro is something related to water. So if you put 2 and 2 together it would be excessive sweating.

It's a symptom that I have carried with me most of my life since I was young. I use to make my exam papers all wet. The teacher would just think that I am just nervous but in fact I am not that nervous. I was just not understanding my own problems. My parents also didn't take much notice of it until I started going to secondary school. I began to do my own research and finally found the name for my symptom. It is not a disease, it is a flaw in a human physically.

Sweating is a normal thing but we tend to sweat more than usual. I would like to take this opportunity to share with everyone about this. Who knows your friends may be suffering from this and they do not know what is the reason.

http://www.wethandsclub.com

Probably now everyone know how hard that I have to go through to know someone who will accept my big flaw. Anyway, I believe that if you are a good person, eventually nobody will bother about it. They may give you comments or make remarks that will hurt you but you just have to ignore it and look the other side. The most important opinions would come from your friends because they are the ones that are worth listening to.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend? Have a nice day!

Ant

Houston, we have Liftoff!

Hello planet earth! It's great to be writing my very first blog! I guess it is the "in" thing of the moment. Actually, I am a regular emailer. So now writing a blog is not that much of a difference for me except for the fact that I can reach out to anyone who has an internet connection. I just want to you a story about my life, that's all =)

Along the way, I may get distracted or hallucinate when writing my blog. Why? Because I write whatever is in my head...bullshit, truth, false, reality, etc. You know, just let my fingers do the typing and type anything that just pops out of my creative cerebral. I'll try not to be too emotional in certain things but seeing that I am a Virgo, it is hard to do this.

Another reason for me to start this blog is because I have a challenge with a certain friend of mine. Well, I don't even know what we are betting for but we're competing to see who has the higher hits each and every day on our blogs. Sounds kind of childish isn't it? She's a seasoned blogger so that's her advantage while I am just starting out and feeling new to this.

How did I ever came about with the title of my blog? Well, while I was busy listening to internet radio. Yeah, it's really great to tune in to internet radio provided you have fast connection. If not, it's not going to sound pretty. Well, let me get back on track. Like I said, I was listening to one of the many channels of internet radio, the song "Story Of My Life" by Bon Jovi comes to life and wham! It hits my head, that's it...that's going to be my blog title.

The past 2 years have been a little rough for me personally. The only thing that came out good was that I am starting not to take life for granted, stronger to face the future and realize that I have lots of friends that I need to appreciate in life.

I have been inspired by one person whom I thought would be my soulmate, my dream girl so to speak but that was not the case. Having said that, I really believe there's another half of the puzzle that completes our soul for everyone out there. Sometimes it may fit nicely but it doesn't mean it will fit forever. She's really an inspiration to me and always will be. The things that I thought I could never do or even care about started to matter more to me. It was like I wanted to improve in every aspect of my life just for the sake of her. While this was happening, it actually made me grow as a person. All these lessons learnt will always be close to my heart. It makes me believe that life on this planet is all about being inspired to do great things with our lives. Cyn, if you're reading this, thanks a million and I will always think that you are the best whether you are with me or not. I feel happy to know that we are still friends...lots of love always and take good care of yourself =)

Well, that's probably one story of my life worth writing =) If I happen to become famous in the near future or go into journalism, I wouldn't mind writing about it. Why? Because it's inspiring ^_^

I was meaning to let you all know that I just started my very own internet radio! It's called ironhi5! Haha! Well, I'll put on music and broadcast to the internet whenever I am online. Yeah, I sort of turned into a copycat for this one because a friend of mine asked me to tune into her internet radio. It sounded so cool because she even spoke on the radio like a dj and belted out all those songs on the internet. It's like a chance for everyone out there to be a radio dj! At the moment, I haven't started talking on the radio yet but hopefully soon enough. So this is probably the thing that I am toying with lately on the internet.

I have been going behind my bosses' back applying for jobs. Well, it's been 7 years already working in my current company. Is this considered a disloyalty to the company? I think the 7 years have proven that I can be loyal to a company. I felt that at this point of my life. I needed a change, a new challenge perhaps. I won't care if the job pays well or not, as long as it pays my expenses sufficiently. Even being barrista would be appealing for myself. Well, I've sort of built my career on customer service when in fact I studied engineering. Sounds as if I have given back all my knowledge to my lecturers? Well, not exactly because I am in a technical customer service job. So having an engineering has come in handy.

I believe you have to be a designer in order to be successful in engineering, not to be engineers who maintain stuff. It's just not a career worth studying engineering for. Having said that, engineering is such a difficult field. It has made me feel like I can learn anything. Yes, I may not be in business or IT field but after doing all the maths, engineering theories you tend to reach a level of understanding. Just ask an accountant to do a technical job like soldering a componet on the motherboard. Would they know how to do it? Yes, provided you showed them how to do it. Ask an engineer to balance the books, give them some time and they will be able to do it. I am not boasting about engineering but it is a known fact that engineers can take on any other alternative profession, banking, sales, finance, marketing. It's been done, just ask anyone if this is true.

It is just that now education is more towards professionalism. Things are more specialized. You can see an engineer applying for a programming job and they would have no problem getting the job 10 years ago. But now, they would have to compete with the specialized graduates.

Finally, I hope you guys and gals did enjoy what I have to write. I am not sure what I wrote makes any sense or even interests anyone. So all feedbacks are welcomed and any topic that you all wish for me to touch on will be greatly appreciated. I am sure a few adjustments here and there would make the blog better. So have to find my muse and my writing style =)
