Every ending is a NEW BEGINNING

Every ending is a NEW BEGINNING

Today is the last working day at my old department. I still remember I start work there since 10 November 2005. And now left at 31 Oct 2009. Almost 4 years. Almost...

Lots of sweet memory, but even more bitter memory. Meet a lot of friends but at the same time meet a lot of person that I hate. Too much that happen in this 4 years there. But then all things should come to an end. So long my dear friends. Tomorrow I will begin to work in the new department. For the better or for the worst.

We forget the main reason......

It is now mid Sat nite. Or I should say early morning Sunday. Coz the time is 3am Sunday. Instead of sleeping at my lovely bed, I am sitting in office, thinking of what is happening to me and to all my friends. Thinking of things that I have miss out when things just happen to fast for my mind to think clearly and react correctly.

For me, I feel this is very important coz we human tend to forget the basis or the main reason when we do things. A very classic example is when we earn money. Most of us try to earn money so that we can live more comfortable. So that our children can have better education. So that our wife and family can live more happier. And so that is the "main reason". But as we do this, we neglect to give children the education. Teach the child how to read ABC. We just pay the tuition fees and taught that is the "better education" that the child need. We also spend hours and hours working OT until our health have problem and thus we need to earn even more money so that we can live "more comfortable" with better health. So as what I can see the main reason we earn money is to have better life, but we tend to lose focus or have the wrong understanding of "more money = better life". In reality that is not entirely true. Money is merely a human invention for ease of trading but human get to wrong ideas and think that money is source of evil.

Another things we tend to forget when we teach our children. We tell them education is very important because with good education good qualification they can get good salary. That really is what most parent thinks of how it should be. But in reality is it that way? Good salary is for people that excel in what they do, and people that excel in what they do is people that understand and know what they are doing. But education or Exam may not test on that. For example, a pianist diploma exam. The person need to show how well he/she can play a piano piece and their marks is based on technique, difficulty of that piece, etc. But can this test actually test how well the person can compose song? Even Jay Chou also is disqualify in a music competition before he is well known. So again the main reason of importance education is getting wrong understanding. "good education or certificate = good skill or understanding = high salary or income" but reality show otherwise.

Always understand the main reason. the basic principle. the root of what we are doing. And then we will excel in life. When you feel you are moving too fast, then find time to sit back. Think about it all over again. Go back to the root. This will avoid miss perception that we all suffering.

Counting down my days in this Helldesk

Currently schedule is end of this October I will finally leave this desk. Been here for 3 years.
See the changes of Operation Manager 3 times. So in chinese saying, I am "三朝元老" which means that even the emperor cannot simply fired me this 元老.

I am use to say that here I am the "Super Senior" or "祖師爺" because most staff here is my junior. Some newbie is the student of my student punya student punya student. :P

Now I am going to leave this desk soon. I always wonder why I did not leave sooner. Maybe coz I feel a job that can allow me surf facebook and listen to song while working is hard to find.
Maybe is to find a job that I can shake leg watch movie in office while getting pay for extra OT coz working on a public holiday is hard to find. There is many reason why I stay here. Many memory too.....

But life go on. I need to get moving or I continue to see this desk move to death. From what I can see, it is getting worse here with newbie just don't care to help the people that seek their assistance. They only care how to keep acting like they do a lot of job when they actually did nothing but forward the request to manager for manager to follow up.

Enough babbling on the poor animal that is found working here. I just want to say I am going to leave soon. Bye Bye to all my friends. Hope you all can keep your sanity while working here.

Count down clock begin. 10 days left.

How to be rich?

How to be rich?

I guess this question is what waving on many people mind. I think about it too. Wondering how to be rich. So now I will share my taught with you all.

First of all, I do not know how to make you rich. Coz I am not rich yet. If I say about investment tips or how to predict the next Lucky Draw Number, then I better just go invest on it myself. Why should I share those info? :P So those who taught you can get rich after reading this, well face the reality. Get rich is not that easy.

Although I have yet to have idea on how to get rich, but I have many idea on why we cannot get rich. First is wasting of time. Time is a very important asset that we all have. Since we are born, we have started to use time that we have to barter for other things such as knowledge. And now when we are working we actually use the time, the energy, the knowledge etc to barter for money. So if let say we got 80 years of life, how many times did we actually use to barter for things that is useful? And how many times did we just do useless thing such as "thinking how to be rich?". So first thing I believe that will prevent us from getting rich is wasting of time we have.

Second reason is hoping to inherit or get lots of money from some place. A lot of us like to ask why I am not born in a rich family. Why my father is not Lee Kar Seng or Bill Gates. In my opinion, it doesn't matter who our parent are. I believe that if we do not have the ability to earn 1million, then if we are to suddenly have that money thru inheritance from parent or get it from buying lucky number, we will just waste it at some place and lose the money. The world now is full of thief and scoundrel. Thus if we do not have the ability to earn 1 million, we also won't have the ability to guard this money too. It is like the story of a little kid holding 1,000 walking at the market. Scoundrel can deceive the 1,000 that little kids by giving gold fish, ball, or candy. Thief can just snatch it from the little kid. But if the little kid is actually a genius with IQ 200 then the little kid will have the ability to guard the money and not letting this happen. So if we are to suddenly inherit a large amount of money from parent or to win lottery prize, it is not means we will be rich. Coz we do not have the ability to actually guard it.

One last thing, there is around 6.8 billion population in this world. All of them hope that they can be rich but less than 1% or 68million is rich. That means if your want to be rich, you need to have something that the rest of 6.12billion population not able to do it or did not do it. Example you say you can play football very well. How well? As good as David Beckham? Lionel Messi? Or just very well at school level?

Deepavali Celebration... In OFFICE. (>.<)

Been a while since my last blog update. Busy is one of the reason but lazy and lack of ideas on what to blog is also a reason for that.

Anyway just celebrated Deepavali with working in office. I feel I am getting more and more times celebrating these festive days working. Even my mom ask "Why I keep on work only and did not go out date with other gals. Is it my share so not in demand." I don't know how to tell my mother. Coz even I myself also wonder, will I find someone that can be truly madly deeply love me? Someone like Riko from Japanese Drama Buzzer Beat. Or I am just too bad to deserve such a person and is destined to be S.A.D (Single, Available, Desperate) my whole life?






And so recently my schedule is work work work and then rest and continue the cycle again. The only things that cheers me up is when I see my saving account. (^_^)
I am moving close to achieve my dream. Owning an exotic car. Such as Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4.






I will get this car "SOON". :P

Also have watch a very interesting movie recently.
Movie name is "Surrogates".





The storyline is something that I feel so so. Not too suprising and no twist to it. But the interesting part of the movie is the world that is describe in the movie.
The movie begin with chronological of event that show a genius invented a machine that can read signal directly from the brain and then they use the signal to control a robot. This robot will act as the "body" for the "brain" to go on do the person daily routine. And so the "brain" can rest at home and do not need to leave the house. And so the world become a strange world. Everyone we see will have a perfect young, sexy look that most of us can only dream of. Even guy can be a girl without need for plastic surgery and the voice no longer betray you.

Kiss and touch is done between robot and the sensation is send as signal back to the "brain". So this whole new world seems to be what happening now. Internet. Where lots of person go here and there searching for things and doing transaction at website such as Ebay. This movie make me wonder what is the direction of all the technological advance is bring us to. More safe and better living life style at the cost of us losing the meaning of life? The main character in this movie is basically protesting and trying to reverse it back to the world without Surrogates so that it will bring back the human element to the world. So that next time he kiss his wife, he can feel it really is kissing her and not some robot.

Human is the basic and also the reason for needs of technology. But if a technology advancement is to eliminate human, it no longer is advancement. It is striking man back to prehistory time. However from the evolve I can see, some jobs is already started to be done in internet. Slowly we human may life more in this cyber world then in the real world.
